A DANGEROUS RIVAL.

‘ Henry, I should like to have a word with you th's evening after the bank

‘closes.’ (>

| This remark was addressed by Mr. | Asa Meade, the junior member of the banking honse of Ashburtov and Meade, to Henry Levering the a‘sistant teller, just es the work of the day was drawing to a close.

There was something in the air of the banker that made the teller decidedly un- comfortable.

Had he committed any blunder? Was there apnyihivng wrovg in his cash? Had he failed to discharge his duties faithfully?

He could not recall anything of the kivd. The first teller had never found, any fault with him. He balanced his cash faithfully and found it all correct. | It was only yesterday that Whitney, the, cashier, who seldom indulged in com-| plaints, had praised him for the faithful discharge of his duties, aud predicted, that he would one day be at the head of | the house.

‘What, then, can Mr. Meade have to talk about?’ Henry asked bimself.

But it was easier to ask ihe question than to avswer it. Elis meditations were interrupted by Mr. Meade calling him’ into his private office as soon as the) great doors of the bank swung to.

‘l have always liked you ever since you were au errand boy in the bank,’ began Mr. Meade, aud ‘I want to do you! a favor.’

Henry was flattered, and tried to stam- per out his thanks. ‘I think you will trust me when I tell) you that | desire to do you a very aoaiet favor,’ said Mr. Meade.

‘I certainly believe you when you say so, Mr. Meade.

‘Henry Levering, answer me this ques- tiontruly: Are you not in love with Clara Ashburton?’

The question was so wholly unexpect- ed, that Henry’s face flushed and language failed him. At length he managed to say:

‘While I hardly acknowledge your right, Mr. Mead, to question me in re- gard to this matter, I have no hesitation in telling you, my employer, and, I be- lieve my friend also, that I do love Clara Ashburton.”

A hard look came into Mr. eyes, and he questioaed further :

‘Aud does Clara Ashburton love you in return?

‘She bas never said so. We have never spoken on the subject, but I be- lieve she does.’

‘But do you know that you have no right to love her?’

‘I was not aware, Mr. Meade, that there was apy insuperable barrier.’

‘But there is. You are poor. Her father is wealthy, and his wealth will be her’s. You should remember the differ- ences of position that exist between you.’

‘I do remember them. We are both young. I shall never ask her to love or marry me until my fortune shall justify the step,’

‘But you have no right to place Miss Ashburton’s future onsuch a contin- gency. It was long since settled that she should marry another. In short,Mr. Levering, I may tell you in confidence

thatlam to marry Miss Ashburton, ‘This has long been understood between ler father and myself. I trust you will |not attempt to mislead the young lady.’

Henry was stunned by this announce- ment. This was somethiag that he had not anticipated.

Mr. Meade went on:

‘I desire now that we should have a distinct understanding about Moss Ash- burton and the future. It would be absurd for you to aspire to her hand, ia the first place. You are mistaken when yon fancy that she cares for you in the least. Her father would not consent to a union, even were she foolish enough to fancy you. Mr. Whituey is about to retire ‘rom the bank. His position is in my gift. Ishallmeke you cashier. Al! that I ask in return is that you shall write Miss Ashburton a letter and tell her that you once fancied that you loved her, but that you have discovered your folly in time to avoid a more serious blunder.’

‘But why should I make any such statement to Miss Ashburton? It wou'd not be true, and it is not called for. If she desires to marry you, Mr. Meade, I shall not interfere by word or act.’

‘Your appointment as cashier depends upon your compliaace with my very rea- sonable request.’

‘Then I fear, Mr. Meade, that I sh:ll not be promoted.’

‘I wish you to refiect well upon this subject. I give youa month in which to decide, and in the meantime I trust to your discretion in your intercourse with Miss Ashburton. It would, indeed, be wise if you did not see her atall. It would be well for you to bear in mind that I can unmake as well as make you. You may go.

Mr. Ashburton of the interview. They had both suspected the truth, but the confirmation greatly disturbed them.

They agreed upon ove point—that Clara should not marry Henry Levering, but that she should marry Mr. Meade.

Henry Levering fully understood human nature, and knew what he had to expect at the hands of the bankers—that if they made uptheir minds to force Clara to wed Mr. Meade, they would find the means to accomplish their determina- tion.

He presented the matter to Clara, and convinced her that nothing but prompt aclion would prevent the consummation of the contemplated union.

To abbreviate a long story, they sought a minister in whom they could confide, aud were married.

Then they proposed to let matters take their own course, and trust to the future. Mr. Ashburton, of course, sought ap early opportunity to apprise his daugh- ter of his future intentions towards Mr. Meade. Clara listened dutifully, and then told her father that she did not and could not love Mr. Meade, and could not marry him.

‘Tut, tut, girl! you are foolish. Mr. Meade is a gentleman worthy any woman’s love. Don’t let Heury Lever- ing put any sentimental nonsense into your head; if anything bas ever passed between you, let it be forgotten. [ shall trust you, my daughter, to respect my wishes.’

Mr. Ashburton had a supreme faith in his daughter, and fully believed that it she even did love Henry Levering, she would ignore him in deference to his wishes.

The month passed, and Henry had not complied with Mr. Meade’s request in regard to his letter to Clara, nor was he promoted to the cashiership. In answer to a direct question Henry told Mr. Meade that he had not only not written the letter, but that he would not.

There was a dangerous iighiin Mr. Meade’s eyes as he said :

‘You will regret your obstinacy, sir.’ A week later and the village was all in commotion. A forged draft on the Shoe and Leather Bank of London, with forg- ed endorsements, hed been cashed by the assistant teller, Heary Levering. ‘There was a consultation of bank officials, aud detectives were sent for. The next day Mr. Ashburton as the head of the firm, made an affidavitt charging Henry Levering with forgery and conspiracy.

Poor Clera! Her heart was broken when her father told her what he had done.

‘Oh, father, father, you have killed me! I know he is innocent,’ was all she could say, and then she became un- conscious, aud it was weeks before she became rational.

Henry Levering, protesting his inno~ cence, was brough: to trial; and here the wonderful powers of the detective began to appear. ‘Iwo witnesses were introduced for the prosecution, who un- blushingly swore that they were profes sional swindlers, and that they had entcred into a conspiracy with Lovering to swindle the house of Ashburton & Meade, that while one of them forged the draft the other had forged the endorse- ments, and Le vering cashed the draft, and the proceeds were divided between them. Protected from prosecution by mrning Queen's evidence, they could make this confession with impunity.

Henry Levering could neither im peach the testimony of these knaves or prove his own innocence, and the jury, a'ter five minutes’ deliberation, returned a verdict of ‘ Guilty.’

‘Oh! roy husband, my husband! you have been falsely accused and falsely convicted,’ cried an agonizing voice, as Clara pressed forward and threw her arms around the prisoner’s neck.

Mr. Ashburton turned pale at his daughter's words.

Mr. Meade roughly seized the pros- trate girl to drag her away. Henry
