Claude Damien's Million. Queen's Gate looked a little ask ance at Mr. Ponsonby Walker, though be occupied one of the biggest houses there and dispensed lavii-h hospital ity. He was a tall, stout red-faced elderly gentleman, with a familiar manner and a jovial laugh addicted to spotless white waist-coats, loud patterned trousers and patent leather boots. He was very hearty and genial with every one, and had the reputation of being able and willing to make fortunes in the city for any of his friends who chose to seek his advice and assistance. But, though his wife wore diamonds and he kept up a considerable establish ment, there was a vague feeling of distrust regarding hisnlleged wealth. Business men shook their heads at the mention of his name, and hinted that, though he described himself as a financier, he dealt with other peo ple's money rather than his own, and was chiefly engaged in the mysteri ous occupation of promoting pub lic companions. These rumors, however, did not prevent the Ponsonby Walkers from having a larsre circle of friends and acquaintances, who assisted at their social functions and returned their hospitality by similar entertain ments. In fact, thel'onsonby Walkers were rather fashionable people, and it was, perhaps, envy as much as any thing else which caused some of their neighbors to speak disparagingly of them. The prevailing impression among honest, unsophisticated folk was that Mr. l'onsonby Walker was a personage in the city of scarcely less importance and standing than a Rothschild or a Baring; and no one was more deeply imbued with this idea than young Claude l)amien. But three-and twenty is a credulous age, and a passionate admiration for a man's daughter is apt to shed u kind of golden halo around the young lady's parents. Claude Dam len would never have thought of suspecting Mrs. l'onsonby Walker of being dull and commonplace, nor did he everdoubt that Mr. l'onsonby Walker was a merchant prince of almost untold wealth. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the young gentleman felt seri ous misgivings on the subject of his attachment to Mr. Ponsonby Walker's only daughter Miriam, for be guessed instinctively that the financier would sternly discourago his pretensions. But Miriam Walker was an impul sive, warmhearted girl, and having lured Claude Damien to his late by receiving his attentions with marked favor, she scoffed at; his idea that his poverty was an insur mountable bar to their union. She fervently vowed that, whatever her father's decision might be, she would always regard Claude as her affianced husband, and prevailed upon the young man to demend the parental consent and benediction. .She suc ceeded in almost persuading him that Mr. Ponsonby Walker belonged to the benevolent order of fathers who are disposed to overlook such trifling drawbacks as absence of income and expectations in a daughter's suitor. Claude Damien could not quite bring himself to regard Mr. Ponsonby Walker in that amiable and fatuous light, but, rendered desperate by the state of his affections, he screwed up his courage and called upon Miriam's father one day at his office in the city. "What can I do for you, Mr. Dam ien?" inquired the financier, in a pat ronizing, condescending tone, as Claude entered with his heart thump ing against his ribs like a battering ram. "You do not recognize me, sir," said Claude, nervously observing that Mr. Ponsonby Walker read his name from his card with a hesitation which showed that it was unfamiliar. "I had the pleasure of being intro duced to you once at the bouse of a mutual friend, Major Stanhope." "Ah! to be sure. You're a son of the late Gen. Damien. I remember perfectly," said Mr. Ponsonby Walk er, encouragingly. "Can I have a few minutes' private conversation with you, eir?" mur mured the young man. "Well, I am very much overwhelm ed with business just now. I have an important meeting of the board of the Grand Eldorato Diamond Miningcompany at 3 o'clock," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with import ance. "We are proceeding to alot ment, Mr. Damien," he added sig nificantly. "OhI indeed!" observed Cluude. "Yes; a splendid property, Mr. Damien; a splendid property," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, rubbing his bands. "As a friend ot Maj. Stan hope's, I advise yon to apply at once for some shares " "No no, thank you," interposed Claude, with nn ominous sinking at his heart. "The fact is, I havecnlled to ask yonr permission to become en gaged to young daughter Miriam." "To my daughter Miriam to Miss Ponsonby Walker!" exclaimed the financier, staring at the young man with undisguised amazement. "Have 70a spoken to her on the subject?" "Yes; last night, at Mrs. A ns truth r's ball," said Claude eagerly. "Really, this is very serious," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker solemnly. "I bare heard notUng of it. Will von have tbe good mas, Mr. Daraieu, to state jour poeftion and prospect? Poor Claude Damien realized, with rtM fane, tbe utter hopili mi tat to mj tewirity-oof hia mi sion. as he proceeded, in faltering ac cents, to describe his unfortunate circumstances; and it is hardly sur prising that the brief statement caus ed Mr. Ponsonby Walker to grow crimson with indignation. "Do you mean to tell me, Mr. Damien, that you have no means, no occupation, and no expectations whatever?-' exclaimed the finaucier. falling back in his chair, and gazing at him with contemptuous amaze ment; "no relatives, even, or friends to whom vou can look for assist ance!" 'I have an uncle my poor moth er's brother living in America. I have heard that he is rich and a bachelor." said Claude, from sheer desperation. "Well! and what in his name? and what will he do for you?" inquired Mr. Ponsonby Walker a little more encouragingly. "His name is Williams Barnes. He emigrated many years ago, and I be lieve he lives at Princess Town, Kan sas county. But I have no right to expect that lie will do anything for nit'," added poor Claude, blueliii.g hotlv. "Indeed, he has never an swered the letter which I wrote to him some months ago, when my fa ther died." "I'pon my word, this is absolutely preposterous!" exclaimed Mr. l'on sonby Walker, bounding from his chair and glaring at his unfortun ate visitor from the center of the hearthrug. "Do you seriously sup pose for an instant, Mr. Damien, that I can consent to your engaging yourself to ahem! Miss Ponson by W alker. "I love vour daughter, sir, very deeply, and am doing mv best to seek employment. I hoped, perhaps, that vou might consent conditional ly upon my " Pshaw! .Mr. Damien; you are wasting my time anil your own," in terposed Mr. l'onsonby Walker with an angry gesture. "Understand, please, once for all, that 1 forbid you to speak to my daughter again. lour conduct, sir, is impertinent nothing less than impertinent. In fact, I I Mr. Damien, oblige me by leaving the room this instant." Mr. Ponsonbv alker was purple in the face with indignation, and he even made a step toward Claude as though he meditated violence. I he young man had sense enough to per ceive that to attempt to prolong the interview would probably lead to a regretable scene, and he therefore prudently withdrew, feeling more deeply humiliated and crestfallen than he had ever done in his life. The truth was that Claude Damien was thoroughly ashamed ol him self, for he was an honest lad, and he painefully realized that he had acted tbe part of an imprudent ad venturer. It was, no doubt, the height of presumption on his part, considering that he was absolutely penniless and friendless, to aspire to marry the daughter of a rich man. To do him justice, nothing had been further from his mind than to profit by the circumstance of the girl he loved being an heiress. He was just at the age when to make a fortune seems only a question of giving the mind to it; and lie had vngueiy de termined that he would set to work with that laudable object without a moment's delay. Mr. Ponsonby Walker's indignation had, however, opened his eyes to the unpleasant fact that his Conduct was worse than thoughtles; and he was so remorseful and contrite that he immediately worte a heart-broken and penitent letter to M iriam Walker,releasing her from her engagement. But Miss Ponsonby Walker was ev idently a young lady of considerable spirit of force and character, for she absolutely refused to give up her lov er, and declared that she was willing' to wait for him for a thousand years. She hinted that she did not despair of overcoming her father's opposi tion, and peremptorily commanded Claude to meet her at the house of a mutual friend, to which they had both been invited. The young man had neither strength of mind nor, indeed, the inclination to resist the opportunity of renewing his protest ations of ardent devotion, and the consequence was that, much against his conscience, Claude Damien con tinued to carry hisclandestine court ship. In extenuation of the conduct of these imprudent people it may be urged that Mrs. Ponsonby Walker hardly less to blame than they, for Miriam's mother, who was a stout lady and of easy-going, phlegmatic disposition, must either have been intentionally blind or extremely stu pid. At all events she never interfer ed, though Claude Damien contrived to obtain invitations to several en tertainments to which the Ponsonby Walkers were bidden, and as tbe fin ancier rarely accompanied his wife and daughterinto society, the young man found no obstacle to his love making. Meanwhile, Claude made strenu ous efforts to obtnin employment, but unfortunately without success. His friends were chiefly retired half pay brother officer of his late father, who had no influence whatever in the commercial world, and tbe lad possessed no accomplishments or re sources of nny kind which he could turn to account. Luckily for himself his temperament was sanguine, and he found Miriam's sweet encourage ment a sufficient antidote against the demoralizing influence of perpet ual disappointment. In this man ner a month or six weeks passed, and the only result of this lapse of time was that Claude Damien became more infatuated than ever. He was ren beginning to feel a little depress ed inl moment of solitude, when one day be was startled by receiving a formidable-looking letter, addressed ia aa oaknowa hood, and bearing an American stamp. The sight of it caused the young man an anxious thrill of expectation, for he imme diately concluded that it was a reply from his maternal uncle, to whom he had written many months previous ly. When, with trembling hand, he broke the seal, the following commu nication met bis astonished gaze: 337 Bmkk A, 1'uiNa'ov Tow, Kivus Co. Sir: I bgto acquaint vou that hy tlirwill of your latuncl.

Th testator oVd on li.r of last month. Awaiting tbe honor otyour instructions, I bid. iir, your ohedienlly, SiLiK (i. Hlottisu, Barrister, ic. To Mr. I laude Uamieo. The young man fairly gasped for breath as he read this amazing in telligenee.'and for several minutes he stared blankly at the letter, unable to realize that he was actually a millionaire. But as he grew calmer and proceeded to read the will of his deceased relative, he grasped the sit uation sufficiently to jump into a cab and drive straight to the office of Mr. Ponsonby Walker. Miriam's father received him with very scant courtesy, but when he an nounced his good fortune, and pro duced the letter of Mr. Silas Blotting and the copy of his uncle's will, the financier's manner changed com pletely. "My dear Damien," exclaimed Mr. Ponsonby Walker, in an almost awe stricken voice, "this is glorious news! I congratulate you." "I love your daughter, sir," mur mured the young man tremulously. "A million sterling!"ejaculated Mr. Ponsonby AValker, risingexciteiily in his chair. "It belongs to Miriam," cried Claude, with emotion. "My dear Claude, your constancy is touching," said .Mr. Ponsonby Walker, quite overcome. "God bless yon, my boy! "J hank you, sir, said . laude, wringing the hund of his future fath er-in-law. "Claude, my boy, regardless of vour fortune, it will be better that 3-011 should have some employment. As a start, therefore, I would suggest that you should join the Board of the Grand Eldorado Diamond Min ing company," cried Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with sudden eagerness. "Certainly, sir," said the young man promptly. "May I put you dawn for a hun dred shares?" inquired Mr. Ponsonby Walker, in a business-like tone. "I'll take a thousand," replied Claude, with a new and delightful sense of recklessness. ".No, no; you mustn't put all your eggs in one basket. The Grand Eldorudo, however, will Vie a splen did thing a splendid thing. l'on sonby Walker, rapidly filling up a printed form. "There, my boy, sign that, and you will discover that 1 have given you a princely wedding gift." Claude Damien dashed off his sig nature in a lordly manner and then started off in a state of delirious happiness to claim his affianced bride. Then came a period of delicious ex citement, during which the J'oung man was scarcely conscious of his own identity. His sudden elevation from poverty to extreme wealth al most turned his head. Now only was he received with affecionate de ference into the bosom of the Pon sonby Walker family, but he was overwhelmed with congratulations and polite attentions from every one. The fame of his good luck spread abroad like wildfire, and liefore a week had elapsed every newspaper in England published paragraphs al luding to the event, and also men tioning his engagement. Mr. l'on sonby Walker expressed great an noyance and indignation at the in troduction of his daughter's name into the public prints, but Claude could not help fancying that his father-in-law elect was not so dis pleased as he affected to be. But Claude Damien had something else to think of besides love-making and responding to congratulatory epistles. In the first place it was necessary to take steps to obtain possession of his property, and for this purpose he placed himself in t he hands of a firm of solicitors recom mended by Mr. Ponsonby Walker. Unfortunately Mr. Blotting wrote in reply to telegraphic inquiries that the testator's estate consisted al most entirely oflandandt)ouses which could not be converted into money, until after the usual interval. This was a disappointment to Claude, for he longed to taste the sweets of his inheritance, and, moreover, he had been applied to for the purchase money of his shares in the Grand Eldorado Gold Mining Company. Having no means of meeting this de mand he had no alternative but to seek the advice and ossistanceot Mr. Ponsonby Walker. "What a ridiculous situation," ex claimed the financier, with a hearty laugh, as he slapped his future son-in-law on the back. "Imagine an impecunious millionaire!" "It's awkward all the same," said Claude, laughing also. "Pooh! Tlwre need be no difficul ty," responded Mr. Ponsonby Walk er. "I'll write you a' check. Stay, though!" le added, thoughtfully. "I think on consideration, that I had better not. Onecan't be too careful in these matters, and remarks might be made if it should transpire that the money cume from mo. Mr. Ponsonby Walker winked con fidentially as he spoke, and looked so knowingly at the young man that the latter, without the least under standing him, felt impressed by tbe wisdom of the financier's remark. "1 suppose not," acquiesced Claude doubtfully; but where shall I get the money from?" "Yoo can borrow it from 70a sol icitor, or-well. perhaps it is letter to be inde-endeut. and you can af ford the luxurv-whynot get it .from IValevi?" said Mr. Ponsonby W u!U- tr-T.y all means. But who is Ben levi?" inquired Claude. "Benlevi of Burlington street, re plied Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with an other sagacious wink. "A money lender, but honest as they sro. lie will make you pay for the accommo dation, but what will tnai maiier i you?" So (laude, nothing loath, paid h visit to Mr. Beiilevi. who received him verv civilly, having evidently read all about him in the newspapers. Prom this worthy the young man obtained, on somewhat startling terms, a sum of money which enab led him to take up his shares and left something over. Being thus in funds, Claude Damien did not scru ple to launch out a little by taking an exjiensive set of chaml-era and furnishing them luxuriously. He found liodifticulty in obtaining cred it from tradespeople, and having once set the ball arolling. he soon raised n very considerable crop of debts, and began to live in a manner worthy ofhisenviablecircuinstances. At the instance of his future father-in-law, who represented that he ought not to neglect his own inter ests, Claude Damien attended one or two meetings of the directors of the Grand Eldorado Diamond Mining Company, though the proceedings, anil indeedjthecoiiipany'itself, rather bored him. It was gratifying, how ever, to the young man to learn that his connection wit!) the company had had a very good effect, and that its shares were being eagerly applied for, especially as he understood that in some mysterious way the success of ihe company was an excel lent th intr for Miriam's father. Claude was a little puzzled at this, because Mr. I'on sonbv Walker's namedid not appear on the prospectus of the company, nor among the list of shareholders. But the young man asked no ques tions, being completely absorbed with the rnpturesot love -inakiugand the delights of luxurious living, and, as Mr. Ponsonby Walker soon ceased to trouble him anymore about the company, Claude was perfectly con tent not to refer to it. It was, perhaps, fortunate for the young man's jience of mind that he shirked the directors' meetings, and never read the financial (osiinns of the newspapers, for he thus re mained in happy ignorance of ugly rumors which began to In1 circulated about the new venture. He Jid, in deed, hear something of nn unfavor able report which had come to hand concerning theconipiiny's mines, and which had caused a panic and a great outcry uniong the sharehold ers. Still, this gave him but little uneasiness. Early one morning, however, n few days after these rumors first came to his ears, Claude Damien found his sitting-room occupied by a g.unt looking, elderly gentleman, who was seated in his best easy chair, tran quilly smoking a cigar and reading the newspaper. Claude stared in uimazeinent at the stranger, whose shrivelled lectures seemed oddly familiar, though he was not conscious of ever having seen him before. His unceremonious visitor stared at him in return with nn amazed, half-con-temptnous expression, which excited the young man's wrathful indigna tion. "Who are you, sir? and whit are you doing here?" demanded Claude angrily. "I'm a corpse," said theoldgentle man with a sardonic grin. "A what!" exclaimed Claude, start ing. "I used to lie your mother's broth er William, and consequently your uncle, young man," said the strang er with a decided Amercian twang; "but it seems, on this side, I'm only a testator. When I heard (he news over yonder, there seemed to me to be something kinder wrongabout it, so I've come over to make inquiries." "Good heavens!" gasped Claude, turning pale. "If if what you say is true. I have been duped. But Mr. Siins Blotting, of Princess Town" "There is no such person," inter posed the old gentleman calmly. "What does it mean, then?" cried Claude wildly. "I have had letters from him. He told me that my un cle William Barnes, of PriucessTown woa dead." ' "There is nosuchpersonasWilliam Barnes, of Princess Town, either, I guess," said the old gentleman, with another grin. "Pin located at Chicago, and left Princess Town a dozen years ago. Have you any doubt that I'm alive still?" Claude looked earnestly at the face before him, but in truth his scrutiny was unnecessary. Already the con viction hod been borne upon him that he was speaking to his mother's brother, for the family likeness was unmistakable. "Seems to me, nephew, that you've embarked on a pretty big swindle " said his uncle, with a significant glance round the well-appointed room. "I nm ruined, dishonored!" ex claimed Claude, overwhelmed with shame as he thought of his debts and the difficulty of his position. "What W!!!-,Mr: VwortV Wulker-wlint will Miriam think? I am innocent of nny swindle, Uncle William," he add ed with fierce energy.

"I'm sure she does. Whatever her father may be. Miriam is true, and and I love her, Uncle William, better than rny life," exclaimed Claude ex citedly. "Well, is that so'snid his utlcle, in a quiet, matter-of-fact tone," as I've no room for absent-minded lovers in my establishment, you had better marry her straight away. Vou think she would come, eh?" "Uncle!"' ejaculated Claude, com pletely staggered by the boldness of the proposition. "Why why, of course she would. But but, her par ents would never consent.

I'll fix matters with her hither and get his blessings (or what its worth! into the bargain." Claude never quite understood how it nil occurred, but he not only receiv ed .Mr. Ponsonbv Walker's blessing, but, what was more to the point, 1 ho hand of his daughter and receipts for all the money he owi-d.
