Bessie had I:stezed very attentive
ly to the narration ofTottle's history,
and now said, after a pause, with a
strange hesitation in her voice,
"Grandfather, did George never

"No, toy dear. I remember once
it coming up between us somehow,
but George turned It off, and said it
didn't matter to l'ottie, who seemed

At that moment "Shop!" was

ONE KISS FOR HOPE, ONE FOR
FAITH, AND ONE FOR LOVE.
Tea was over and cleared away In
te d
Ben Sparrow little back parlor,
sat looking and Bessie and
sadly
into the fire. Tottie was also present
in her high chair, but there was
nothing of sadness in her thoughts.
She was enjoying, in anticipation,
what was spread upon the table ; for
after the fashion of humble folk,
preparations had bean made for "a
party" on this last evening which
George was to spend with them.
There was a bottle of "Sherry wine"
on the table, and another of port,
which old Ben had bought at a large
grocer's shop over Westminster
Bridge, at a cost, for the two bottles,
of two shillings and fourpenee; and
that the wine was of an old and rich
vintage, was proved by the mildew
and sawdust which clung to the bot
, ties. There were adz wine-glams of
different shapes and patterns • and
there was a plate of almonds mid rai
sins, and another of figs, .and some
sinall seed-cakes, and four oranges
cut in quarters; sO that altogether the
table presented quite a festive ap
pearance. There was nothing festive,
however, in the countenances of Bes
sie and her grandfather • their faces
were as sad as their ?noughts, It
was nut natural. And yet they
would have been loath to have con
fessed to each other the exact tenor
of their contemplations.
A bustle in the shop caused Ben
Sparrow to jump from his chair.
'That's Mr. and Mrs. Naidret,"
he said, and opened the parlor door
and gave them welcome.
, •Well, Bessie," safd Mrs. Naldret,
and" Well, my girl," said Jim Nal
dret, and they both kissed her, and
Shook. hands with old Ben, who bus
tled about doing nothing, while Bee
KW assisted Mrs. Naidret to take off
her bonnet and things. Mrs. Nal

the preparatlonfor the party, and ap

said Ben Sparrow, rubbing his
hands; ''no, nor me either. I'm not
rich enough ; though if 'could afford
it, Bessie should have had such a
pair long ago, and gold chain and a
watch as well."
"She's pretty enough to have
them," said Jim Naldret.
"Ad good enough," added Ben.

"Yes, grandfather ," replied Bessie,
with a heavy sigh.
Mrs. Naldrot saki nothing; she

could not have cost less than four
pounds at least.
"There's George," said Jim Nal

and said. in a hurried,- agitated
tone,
"I should like to have a few quiet
words with George, my dear; I

'taking Beisie's hand gently and
kindly."Go inside, Be,s my dear,
That's ell George wanted with you.

Bessie Went Into the parlor, and
George's heart Wag like a nest from
which the dearly loved bird had
frown. That Little embrace, with
Bessie, warm and soft and tender, in
his arms, contained such exquisite
hapinees as to be painful.
"I'll not keep you two minutes,"
said Ben Sparrow. "come to the
door, so that we may not he heard."
They went to the shop door, and
into the street, which they paced
slowly as they conversed.
"As I was sitting inside by the
fire just now, George," resumed Ben,
"there clime into my mind something
which I think 1 ought to speak of
before you go away. It brought back
old time memories too. You see, my
dear boy, I am an old man, and
there's no telling what may happen.

George, she believed years ago that

Ulla she should not be told different.
And he may he dead, George, for all
I know. He was employed as one of
old Mr. Million's collectors, and he
used money that didn't belong to
him. He used my money too, and
put my name to papers without my
knowing! so that When he ran away,
to prevent something worse happen
ing, I had to pay, which brought me
down and kept me down, Gebrge.

"But I thought it right that you
should know before you go away.

claimed George, warmly. "It gives
her a greater claim on:me, I love

egtving
how unhappy it would her to
know this. Of course it must be kept
from her!"
"Dear boy, God bless you! God
bless you, dear boy!" cried old Ben
Sparrow, with the tears running
down his face. And, George--when
•you make a little money, and come
home with it to make Bessie happy,
be contented. Don't go striving af
ter riches, as my son did, and forge
the meaning of honesty, and the hap
t
piness there is in contentment. From
the time he ran away I have never
had a line from him. But I heard,
he was seen in Australia, and as he is
alive you may meet him, for there
are not many people there. Strange
things do happen, George! You may
meet him, and know him. I dare
say he has grown eomething like me,
but taller and more gentlemanly.
Ah, that was his ruin, wanting to be
a gentleman! Well, if you do meet
him, George," and the old man took
George's hand and pressed it hard,
and twined his lingers with George's
nervously, "if you do, give him—my
—my love, George—my dear love—
and tell him to write to me, and that
his old father forgives him, Geor him
abouthe forgives him! And tell him
about you and Bessie, and how beau
tiful Bessie has grown, and how she's
fit to be a Ptincess—" Old Ben broke
down here, and George put his arm
.round the old man's neck,. and pat
ted him on the back, and said, "Yes,
yes. Mr. Sparrow, I understand,
understand. I'll do all that you wish
and in the way that you wish. And
now that 1 know, 1,11 look out for
him. What part of Australia do you
think he's in?"
"I don't know, George; but Aus
tralia can't be very large. I've done
right to tell you, George, haven't 1?"
"Yes, quite rignt."
ONE Klss FOR nor', ON E FOR FAITH,
AND ONE FOR LOVE
With that they went into the
house, and Joined the party in-the
parlor. It was not a very merry one,
and the conversation chiefly consisted
of tender reminlscentvs and hopeful
anticipation. George tried to be gay.
but broke down, and if it had not
been for old Ben Sparrow chirruping
there's line of "Cheer, boys, cheer,
wealth for honest labor "
now and then, it would have been
difficult to keep matters going. But
a diversion was occasioned in the
course of the evening by the arrival
of young Mr. Million, whosame in
to shake hands with George, he said,
and to wish him good-by. George
was sitting in the corner, with Tottle
on his knee; the child was in a state
of repletion, having, feasted her lull
on the pleasures of the table, and was
curled up in George's arms feeling
very sleepy. I3essie, sitting next to
George (he had .a spare arm for her
waist, Tottie notwithstanding), cast
strangely disturbed glances at her
lover and the child, and her heart

ing up the sad clouds. Flegave just
a glance at the ear-rings in Beaste's
ears, and Bessie blushed as she rose
to allow George to shake hands with
him. No one saw the glance but
Mrs. Naldret. and she lookedgrave
ly at Bessie. Young Mr. Million
was profuse In his good wishes for
George; he wished the young man
all sorts of luck, and hoped he would
soon be back. Every one was grati
fied at the heartiness with which
young Mr. Million expressed his good
Wishes—every one but Mrs. Naldret;
but,then nothing seemed to please
her to- nigid.
"I must drink your health,
George." raid the young brewer.
Ben Sparrow asked him with a
grand air whether he would take
pherry wine or port, and he chose
sherry, and bald that Miss Sparrow
should fill his glass for him. Bessie
filled tit:schuss anithmided it to him
with a bright, flame in ber cheeks;
her hand shook, too, and a few drops
of the wine were spilled upon the
table ? which young Mr. Million said,
gayly, was a good omen.
"And here; 1 good luck to you,
George, and a prosperous voyage,"
he said,and shook bands with George
and wished him good-by, and shook
hands also with ull the room.
Old Ben Sparrow looked at him very
anxiously, and when the you g prince,
with a quietly significant glance at
the old man, proposed that Miss Spar
row should open the shop door for
him, Ben said, "Yes, yes, certainly,
Sir," and almost pasht3d.Beasie into
the shop. Now what wade Mrs. Nal
dret open the parlor door, and seat
herself so that she could pee the shop
door? It may have been done un
consciously, but certain it is that.
seeing something pass between young
Mr. Million and Bessie as they shook
hands at the shop door, she gave a
sudden cry, as if overtaken by a
spasm. Bessie ran in at the cry, and
and then Mrs. Naldret saw in one
quick flash, what no one else saw
(tor Bessie slipped it Into her pocket)
a letter in Bessie's hand! The mat
ron said it was nothing, merely a
stlich in her side; and turned from
the maid to her son, around whose
neck she threw her arms, and kissed
him egath and again.
"Why, mother!" exclaimed
George, for Mrs. Naldret was begin
ning so sob convulsively.
"Come, bear up, there's a dear sour
or we shall ail be as bad as you!"
Mrs. Naldret repressed her sobs,
and pressed him closer to her faithful
breast, and whispered. .
" Alt, George, there are many
women in the world for you but
there's only one mother!" -
He whispered back to her, "There
is only one woman in the world for
me, and that's my darling Bessie;
and there is only one other who is as
good as she is, and that's the mother
I. hold In my arms."
And all she could reply to this was,
"Oh George, George! On, my dear,
dear, boy!' with a world of loveand
pity in her voice.
And so the sad evening passed a
way, until George said, hadn't father
and mother better go home? He
would soon be with them. They
knew that :li e a n d went wanted to say g b
fathe,nrie:;re i

?thendown his face.
"I'll tell you whets, tuvegE, whis
pered old Ben Sparrow in
ear. "You shall say good-b -
-by
to Tot
tie and me. and we'll go to bed; and
then you'll nave Bessie all to your
self. But don't keep too long, my
dear boy, don't keep too long."
Tottie had been fast asleep for more
than an hdur, and George took her
in his arms without waking her
"Good-by, Tottie," he said; "good
by little one!" He kissed her many
times, and the child, stirred by his
caresses, raised her pretty little hand
to his face. lie kissed her fingers,
and then resigned her to old Ben,
who, with ;his burden in his arms ,
g rasped George's hand tight, and
bade him good-by and Uod-speed.
"And don't forget, George," he
said, with a secret look toward
Bessie.,
"tio, Mr. Sparrow," George repli
ed. "I'll bear In mind what you
told ine."
"(led bless you, then, and speed
you back!"
With this the old man ascended
the stairs, with Tattle in his arms,
turning over his shoulder to give
George a parting look,and humming
"Cheer, boys, cheer!" softly to keep
up the spirit of the lovers.
They had listened with a kind of
strained attention to the old man's
voice, and when it was hushed, and
silence fell upon them, George turn
ed to Bessie, and in an instant she
was in his arms, lying on his breast.
A long silence followed. George
heard Bessie's heart beat plainer
than the tick of the old-fashioned
clock, which stood like a ghost in a
corner of the room. Not another
sound could be heard but the ticking
of the old clock and the beating of
their hearts. As Bessie lay n her
lover's arms, she thought whether
it would be generous in her to ques
tion him about Tottie. The very
asking of the question would imply
a doubt. A voice whispered to her,
"Trust him; perfect love means per
fect confidence." But. the woman's
words were present to her also; and
George was paying for the child.
She would not admit the thought of
any thing dishonorable in George;
but the sting of the doubt was in her.
Would it not Whetter for her to ask
a simple question, which George
could easily answer, than to be tor
mented with doubt during the long
months tie would be away from her?
Would it not be simple justice to Tot
tie? for if she were not satisfied, she
might grow to hate the child. And
Bessie really loved the pretty little
forsaken one. The maternal instinct
was in her, like the seedling of a
Hower in the ground, waiting for the
summer-tune to ripen it into the per
fect beauty of motherly love. She
loved children.
And h re a word. Whether out of
place or not, it Must be written.
Trust not that woman who has no
love for little ones. She is unworthy
of love.

The bell awoke the !ovens from
their dream. and they spoke in low
tones of the future, and the hopes
that lay In it for them.
"When I come back - with a little
biti of money my darling," said
George, "1 shallte content to settle
down to my trade, and we shall jog
along as happy as can be. We could
not settle down without pots and
pans, and these I am going to earn.

face between his hands and kissed
ber lips. "One kiss for hope; one for
faith; and one for love."
Bessie raised her face again to his,
and whispered as she kissed,
"And one for confidence."
"And one for confidence," he re
peated. as heartily as his sadness
would allow.
"Tnere should be no secrets be

"Certainly there should not be,

"We agreed then upon th e quality

awhile, and then said, slowly, "I am
