THE MERCHANT’S CRIME;
1SY HORATIO ALGER, JR.
CHAPTER XV—Continued.
“I love her, Mr. Manton. Let her
marry me,” exploded Cromwell, ner
vously.
••Really, you surprise me,” said
Mr. Manton. “You wish to marry
Clara?”
“I should consider myself the most
fortunate of men if I could win her
as my wife,” said Cromwell, who
talked more freely than usual under
the influence of the tender passion.
“It is an important matter,” said
Mr. Manton. slowly, “giving: away
the hand of an only daughter in mar
riage.”
“I will do my utmost to make her
happy,” said the enamored lover.
“1 have no doubt of it. To be sure
I have not known you long; but I
have formed quite a favorable opin
ion of you from our brief acquaint
ance. ”
This was hardly true, for Mr. Man
ton had designated James Cromwell
as an awkward booby in familiar
conversation with his daughter, and
she had assented to the justice of
the epithetr.
“Thank you, sir,” said Cromwell;
may I then hopo for your consent to
my suit?”
“Why. you see, Mr. Cromwell,”
said Mr. Manton, throwing one leg
over the other, “there are several
things to be taken into considera
tion besides the personal character
of the husband. For instance—1
hope you won’t think me mercenarv
—but I want to make sure that you
are able to support her in comfort,
so that she need not be compelled to
enduro any of the privations of pov
erty. ”
“I have a good business,” said
Cromwell, “which is sure to bring
me in a good income. ”
“Do you own your shop and stock
up clear of incumbrance? Is it all
paid for?
••Yes. sir.”
“That is well—for a beginning.
Now what property have you be
sides?”
“Why,” said Cromwell, “I make
about $500 clear from my ward,
Robert Raymond.
“Indeed! That is handsome. Still,
he is likely to be taken from you.”
“I don't think he wilL”
“Still, it is not a certainty. It is
not equal to property producing this
amount of annual income.”
“No, sir, but—”
“Hear ine out. There is nothing
so substantial as property invested
well. A good income is a good
thing, but if it comes from anything
else it is not sure. Now I will tell
you what rny intentions have been
when anyone applied to me for my
daughter’s hand, though I did not
expect the occasion would come so
soon. I meant to say, that is, pro
vided the party was otherwise suit
able, ‘Are you ready to settle $5,0 JO
on my daughter on her wedding day,
and will you still have an equal sum
left?’ . That is the question I meant
to ask. and I will ask it now of you.”
He leaned back in his rocking
chair as he spoke, and fixed a glance
of inquiry on James Cromwell. He
hoped that the young man would be
able to answer in the affirmative, for
if Clara could be well married, he
would have his income entirely to
himself and he had made up his
mind in that case to go to Europe on
a pleasure trip. This he could
do without breaking in upon his
principal if he went alone; but as
long as Clara remained unmarried,
he knew that he should be expected
to take her with him. and this would
involve more expenso than he was
willing to incur.
James Cromwell was taken aback
by this unexpected difficulty.
“I am afraid my means are not
sufficient to admit of my doing this,
just yet,” said Cromwell, reluctantly;
but just as soon as I am able I will
agree to make the settlement you
propose. ”
Mr. Manton shook his head.
‘•I am sorry,” he said, and here he
only told the truth, “that you are
not in a position to comply with my
conditions, for they are indispensa
ble. You must not think me mer
cenary, but I don't believe in love in
a cottage! As for Clara, she is a
dear, unselfish girl, and she would
think me mercenary. She never
thinks of money, (I wish she didn't,
he mentally added,) and would as
soon marry a poor man as a rich
man. But I want to guard her
against the chances of fortune. So
I desire that five thousand dollars
should no settled upon herself, so
that if her husband should fail in
business, and you know such things
happen very often, she will have a
fund to fall back upon. I am sure
you will think I am reasonable in
this.”
“My buuress ia a very eafn one,
and the percentage of profit Is largo,"
pleaded from well -other downcast;
••and 1 think there would bo no dan
ger of that.”
“Yes, of course, you think sa
Nobody thinks ho is going to fail.
But disasters como to tho host busi
ness men. ’’
“Then you insist upon your condi
tion, Mr. Manton,” said James Crom
well. in a tone of disappointment.
“I must," said Mr. Manton with
suavity. “Of course, 1 am sorry to
disappoint you, but then the happi
ness of my daughter is the first con
sideration with mo.”
-Then,” said Cromwell, “I may
tell you that, though I am not now
worth tho sum to secure your con
sent, I havo a relative who has mo
down in his will for a legacy of ton
thousand dollars. I don’t think he
will live long. Within a fow months
I may bo worth tho roquired sum.”
“I hope you will, Mr. Cromwell,”
said Mr. Manton; “when that time
comes, come to rao again with your
suit, and I will grant It, that Is,
unless Clara has formed -another at
tachment during that time."
Cromwell winced at this sugges
tion, but he saw that ho could ac
complish nothing more with the
father, and in rather an unsettled
framo of mind he took his leave.
CHAPTER XVI.
Love and Lucre.
When James Cronvvell alluded to
the possibility of his receiving a leg
acy of ten thousand dollars at no dis
tant date, it will be understood at
once that ho alluded to the sum
promised him by Paul Morton in the
event of the death of his ward. Ho
had endeavored to compass Robert's
death at Niagara Falls, but since his
failure there, he had lot the matter
drop, partly from a timid fear of con
sequences. partly from the thought
that even without this sum he was
sure of a good income. But the un
expected condition proposed by Mr.
Manton again turned his thoughts
,to the question of Robert’s death,
and its pecuniary advantage to him
self, and again our young hero was
menaced by a peril by no means in
significant.
But Cromwell’s timid nature
shrank from the audacity of the
crime which suggested itself to his
mind. Besides, though he was fas
cinated by Clara Manton, he was not
clear about settling so large a sum
as five thousand dollars upon her.
He would have done it if in his pow
er, rather than lose her, but if he
could obtain her on any easier terms
he thought that it would be better.
He decided, therefore, to see Clara
herself, to communicate to her her
father's answer, and prevail upon
her, if possible, to marry him with
out her father’s sanction.
Chance, as he thought, favored
him, for only a short distance from
the house he met Clara, herself. She
had left the house considerately, in
order to allow him an opportunity to
call upon her father, aud was now
returning.
••Mr. Cromwell?” she said, with
affected surprise. “I supposed you
were in your shop. I fear you are
becoming inattentive to business.”
“I can't attend to my business un
til one matter is decided” said Crom
well.
“What is that?” •,
“How can you ask? Clara, I J>ave
just called upon your father. I ask
ed his permission to marry you. ”
“W’hat did he say?” inquired the
young lady.
“He told me he would consent, on
certain conditions.”
“Certain conditions!” repeated
Clara, innocently. “What could
they be?”
“He said that I must prove to him
that I was worth ten thousand dol
lars, and must consent to settle half
that amount upon you.”
"I hope you .don’t blame papa He
carries prudence to excess.”
“No, I don t blame him. It is
natural that he should wish to make
sure of his daughter’s comfort”
“And what did you say in reply?”
asked Clara, considerably interested.
“I told him that at present my cir
cumstances would not permit me to
comply with his conditions.”
“That’s a pitv. ”
“But that I was expecting1 a leg
acy from a near relative that may
possibly fall to me very soon, which
would remove every difficulty.”
“What did he say then?”
“That when I received the legacy
he would give mo your hand, pro
vided you were still willing.”
The young lady cast her eyes upon
the ground, bhe did not think
much of waiting for dead men’s
shoes, and doubted whether her
lover had any such relative as he
referred to In her own mind she
looked upon the matter as at an end:
and began to consider for whom she
had better angle next.
“What do you say to that, Clara?”
asked Cromwell.
“I suppose it is fair,” she said.
“No; it is not fair,” he said, “to
make me wait so long. I have a
good income; I am careful, and not
extravagant, and I know I can sup
port you comfortably. Do not make
me wait. Tell mo you will marry
me at once?”
“1 cannot disobey my father,”
said tho young lady, who had all at
once become very dutiful.
••But do you think he has a right
to interfere with your happiness?”
“Perhaps not; but I have always
been taught to obey my father. I
suppose he knows better than I what
I ought to do.”
“Surely, you are not afraid that I
should be unable t> support you
comfortably?” said Cromwell, * re
proachfully.
“Oh, no,” answered Clara. “I
never think of money. My father
often tells
more of it

••I am aura," ho pleaded, '‘that If
we wore once married your father
would not object. The legacy I spoko
of is sure to corao to me in a year or
two, for my relative is very old and
in very poor health, and there is no
fear of his changing his will.''
“I have no doubt what you say is
true," said Clara, though in hor own
heart sho had vory serious doubts;
"but then it would not bo vory long
to wait a year or two, us tbo monoy
will coinn, to you then."
“A year or . two!" repeated Crom
, well. "It scorns to mo like waiting j
forever."
"I am afraid you liavo not the gift
of patience, Mr. Cromwell," said
Clara, smiling archly.
"No; I have not in this ease, for I
do not think there is any occasion
for waiting." |
"But my father thinks so, unfor- ;
tunately. If you can succeed in por- .
suading him to the contra y you will ;
find mo ready to do as you desire. ’’ j
"Then you are determined to abide
by your father’s decision," said
Cromwell, in accents of disappoint
ment.
"I must,” suid Clara, mildly,
"however much my own heart suf
fers in consequence," and sho put on
the air of a victim of parental tyran
ny; ‘unless." sho added, "lam able to
make my father regard It in a differ
ent light.”
“Promise mo that you will try,"
said her lover, grasping her hand.
"I will do what I can,” she said.
"But, really, I must go now. My
father will not know what has be
como of me."
With a swoot smile* sho left him,
and returned to the house. Ho
turned, and went back slowly to his
shop. _ '
CHAPTER XVII.
A Dark Deed.
“There is no other way!" thought
Janies Cromwell, as fresh from his
interview with Clara, he returned to
his shop. “The boy stands in my
way. His doath will bring me money
and then that man will give mo the
hand of the woman I love. There is
no other way, unless Clara prevails
upon her father to recall his condi
tion.”
But another interview with the
young lady tn the evening.dissipated
any hope of this nature which ho may
have entertained. She reported that
her father was immovable on this
point, and that persuasion and en
treaty hal alike been in vain.
“I may soon be able to comply
with your father's conditions,” said
Cromwell. “I have received a letter
to day which informs mo that the
party from whom I expect a legacy
is in very feeble health.”
••Perhaps there may be something
in his story,” thought Clara, and in
fluenced by the doubt, she smiled
graciously, and said: “Let us wait,
and hope that fortune may favor us.”
“Promise me one thing,” asked
Cromwell, “that you will wait for
me. and will not admit the atten
tions of anyone else?"
But this did not suit the plans of
the astute Clara. She by no means
wished to compromise her matrimon
ial chances by binding herself to an
uncertainty, and accordingly an
swered:
“I would willingly do so, Mr.
Cromwell, if papa wore willing, but
he has expressly forbidden me to
bind myself by any engagement, or
make any promises.”
James Cromwell’s countenance fell.
"After all,” she, added with a
smile, “is anv promises necessary in
our ease? Do wo not understand one
another?”
These words and the smile that ac
companied them, restored the cheer
fulness of her lover. He thought he
understood Clara Manton, but in this,
as we know, he was egrogiously mis
taken.
The next morning he received the
following note from Paul Morton. It
was the first he had received from
the merchant: and was in reply to
one of his own he had written from
Madison.
