"Wait," he had said, "until we want
It; when the fire-wood runs short,
and we can't get it elsewhere, it will
be time enough." So the tree bad
been saved from the axe, and stood
there liken giant, defying the storm.
Saul piled up the rough seats and the
tables which' comprised the furniture
of the tent. and, climbing to the top
of them, cut a great hole in the roof
of the tent. It was daylight above,
and the snow was falling fast. Saul
saw the noble tree shinning fast
and firm in the midst of the stern].
With a desperate leap he caught a
branch, and raised himself above the
tent. And when he looked upon the,
awful scene, upon the cruel white,
snow in which tne tents all around
him, were imbedded, and nearly bur
led, hle heart throbbed despairingly..,
But this was no time for despair.
It was the time for action. When
he had secured his position in the
tree, he stooped over the tent.
-"David!" healed. David's voice
answered him.
"This is our only chance." hesald,
loudly; he spoke slowly and distinct
ly, so that those within the tent
might hear him. "Here we may be
able to find safety until the storm
abates and the snow subsides. Lis-.
en to me and do exactly as I. say.
Get some provisions 'together and
some water; and the little brandy
that is left. Make them up in a
bundle. Tie rope and cord around
It, and let me have it. Quickly!"
Before he finished specking, Da
vid's wife was busy attending to his
inst ructions.
"Answer me, Saul," cried David.
"What do you see of our elates?"
Saul groaned. "Do not ask me
David!" Let us thank God that this
tree was left standing."
David climbed on, to thi table in a
few minutes, with the• bundle of
provisions in his hands He was
lifting; It for Saul to tate bold of,
when the pile upon wNeh he was
standing gave way, apd he 'fell heav
ily to the ground.
At this moment a mcvetnent in
the tent nearest to the retreated
Saul's attention. One of her men in
side had thought also of t e tree, and
had adopted Saul's expedienti of cut
ting through the roof of the tent:
His head now appeared above the
tent. He saw Sant. but he was too
far away to reach the tree. -
"Give me a band, mate." heeded.
"Give me a hand, for God's saltet"
"One moment," replied• Saul,
deeply anxious for the fate of-David

wife piabloing. "Keep your hidd and

are safe there (or a time. There is

"David! David! Are you hurt?"

Meanwhile the man in the next
tent who had called to Saul to give
him a hand had not been idle. He
found.a plank, and was raising it to
the roof, with the purpose of resting
'it upon the branch - Of the tree. As
with more than a man's-strength he
lilted the plank forward, Saul heard
a thud beneath him, and looking
down, saw that the wails of the tent
in which David and his wife were
hid given way, and that the snow

In a choking voice he said, sol

"Say, (led bless you, mother and

The child repeated the words in a
whisper, and nestled close to Saul
and said,
" Pins° cold! = Where's mother and
father? Why don't they come up?"
- Saul, with a shiver, looked down.
;Nothing of David or of David's wife
did he see. The tent was not in
sight. The snow had covered it.
And still it fell,:andstill it drifted.

Only .three rernained. Saul. and
David's little daughter, in the up
permost branches of the tree. The
digger from the nearest tent clinging
to a lower branch.
This man was known by the name
of Edward Beaver; a silent man at
best, and one ufho could not win
confidence readily. His faun was
covered with hair fast turning gray.
Between him and Saul but little in
tercourse hallaken place. Saul had
not been attracted by Beaver's man
ner, although often when he looked
at the man a strunge impression came
upon him that he knew the face.
Saul spoke to Beaver once, and asked
him where he came from; but Bea
ver answered hire roughly, and Saul
spoke to him no more. In this dread
time, however, Beaver's tongue was
loosened.
"This is awfull he said, looking
up at Saul.
Saul looked dawn upon the white
face which was upturned to his, and
the same strange impression of its ,
being - familiar tolim stole upon him
like a subtle vapor. An agonising
fear was exprirsed in Beaver's coun
tenance; he was felghtened to death.
He was weak„too, having just come
out of a low fever,and it heeded all his
strength to keep-his footing on the
tree.
"Do you think We shall die hire? " I
he asked.
"I see no hope.'" replied Saul, press

Saul's soul was too much troubled
for converse, and the morning passed
along in silence. ;:Saul lowered some
food and drink to Beaver. "I have
very little brandy," he, said; "but
you shall share And share." And
when Beaver begged for more.he said,
"No, not yet; I must husband it. Re
member, I have another life hero in
my arms to care fen"

Night dell, and. brought darkness
with it; end in the darkness Saul
shuddered, with a new and sudden
fear, for be felt something creeping
up the tree, like an awful shadow.
"Saul Fielding," it said, "my time
has come. The branches are giving
way, and lam too weak to hold on."
"God help you, Edward Beaver,"
said Saul, pityingly.
And David's little daughter mur

It erns a good thing for
them that they Were together, the

fort, and in some measure a safe

- When Saul'a soft singing was over,
he heard Beaver, sobbing beneath
. him. "I used to sing that once," the
man sobbed, in Weak tones, "to my
little daughter."
"Where is she now!" asked Saul,
thinking of these he loved at home.
"Bessie! &said" es led Beaver,
faintly. "Where:are you? Oh my

"Old Ben Sparrow, the grocer!"

"Thanl; God! If you ever see hex'

cry of agony followed, and the
whirl took it up and carried it over
the hills. Then all was hushed, and
the erring son and father spoke no
more.
Saul offered up a prayer for Bessiers
father, and waned sadly for Ms time
to come.
As the night waned, the tierce wind
grew softer, and sighed and moaned,
repentant of the desolation it had
caused. What a long, long night it
was! But at length the, morning's
appeared, and therfSaul, look
ing down saw that he-and David's
little daughter were the only ones
left. Stronger grew the light, until
day had fairly dawned. As Saul
looked over the white expanse, he
felt that there was no hope for him,
and his mind began to wander.
Long forgotten incidents of his child
hood came to hini; lie saw his' father
and mother long since dead; he saw
a brother who had died when he
himself wa,s a child; he saw Jane as
she was when he first met her, as she
was on that sad night when she told
him of the duty that lay before him;
he saw George and the lights on
Westminster Bridge.
All these visions rose for him out
of the snow. And field and flowers
came, and he wandered among them
hand in hand with Jane, as they had
done on one happy holiday. It did
not seem strange to him that there
was no color in any of _there things;
It caused no wonder in his mind that
all these loved ones, and the fields
and flower's perfect in form and
shape, were colorless, were white and
pure as the snow which stFetehes
around on every side. They) were
dear memories all of them—emblems
of purity. And in that dread time
he grew old ; every hour was a year
in the midst of all the terror of the
time he pressed David's littte daugh
ter closer and closer to his breturt, and
.committed their souls to God. So
that day passed, and the night, and
the sun rose in splendor. The white
hills blushed, like maidens surprised.
With wild eyes and fainting soul,
Saul looked around; suddenly a flash
of,loq spread over - his face. Upon, a
distant, mount. stood Jane_
.. "Cornet,'
he 'cried And as Jane walked over
tow him, he wait

southern seas, young Mr. Million,
with &small bouquet of choice flow

in the old grocer's shop, Ben Spar
row, who was sitting behind his
counter, jumped up when the young
brewerentered, and rubbed his hands
and smirked, and comported himself
in every way as if a superior being
had honored him with his presence.
Young. Mr. Million smiled pleasant
ly. and without the slightest conde
scension. The cordiality of his man
ner was perfect.
" Quite a gentleinan 4 ," thought old
Ben; "every inch a gentleman!"
Said young Mr. Million, "As I was
passing your way, I thought I would
drop In to see how you and your
granddaughter are."
"It's very kind and thoughtful of
you, Sir," replied old Ben Sparrow.
"Of course we're a bit upset at
George's going. Every thing is at
sixes and sevens, and will be, I dare
say, for a few days. Bessie's inside"
—with &jerk of his head in the direc
tion of the parlor—"-he's very sad
and low, poor dear."
"We mustn't let her mope, Mr.
Sparrow," remarked young Mr. Mil
lion, striking up a partnershipat once
with the old grocer.
"No, Sir," assented Ben; "we must'
not let her mope; it ain't good for the
young—nor for the old, either. But
it's natural she should grieve a bit.
You see, Sir," he said, confidentially,
"George is the only sweetheart Bessie
ever had. She ain't like some girls,
chopping and changing, as if there's
no meaning in what they do."
, o,ve must brighten her np, Mr.
Sparrow. 1 t wouldn't be a bad thing
if you were to take her for a drive in
the country one fine day. The fresh
air would do her good."
"It would do her good, Sir. But I
couldn't leave t4e shop. Business is
dreadfully dull, and I can't afford to
lose a chance of taking a few shillings

Young Mr. Million expressed his
sympathy, and said it ought to be

working-man, you know."
"1 don't know how to thank you,
Sir,* said Ben, gratefully. "Indeed,
I haven't thanked you yet for the
kindness you—"
"I don't want to be thanked,"
interrupted young Mr. Million viva- I
ciously. "I hate to be thanked!
The fact is, Mr. Sparrow, lam an
idle young dog, and it will always
give me pleasure to do you any little
service in my pciwer. I will go in
and say, How do you do? to Miss
Sorrow, if you will allow me." -
"Allow you, Sir!" exclaimed Ben.
"You're always welcome here."
"I brought this little bunch of flow
ers, for her. Flowers are scarce now,
and thesight olthem freshens one up.
Although, Mr. Sparrow, your grand
daughter is a 'righter flower than
any in this bunch!"
"That she is, Sir; that she is," cried
Ben, in delight; adding to himself,
under his breath. "Every inch a gen
tleman! His kindness to Georgeand
me is a-maz-ing—a-MAZ-ING!"
The idle young dog, entering the
parlor, found Bessie very unhappy-
She was unhappy because of the man
ner of her parting
from George last
night; unhappy and utterly misera
ble because of the poisoned dagger
which had been plan in i per heart.
"I was passing through Covent
Garden," said theldlo young dog. in
&male tones, thinking how pretty
'Bessie looked even in her sorrow,
"and seeing these flowers, I thought

tie as a pretext for taking a seat, and.
lifting the child on his knee, allowed
her tO - Play with his watch-chain,
and opened his watch for her, and
putit to her ear so that she might
hear it tick—a performance of which
she would never have tired. His
manner toward Bessie was very con
siderate and gentle, and she had ev
ery reason to be grateful to him, for
he has been a good friend to her
grandfather and her lover. Certainly
he was one of the pleasantest men,in
the world, and he won Tottie's heart
by giving her a shilling—the newt
he could find in his pocket. Tottie
immedately slipped off his knee,
end went to a corner to brighten her
coin with sand; after the fashion of
01(1 Ben Sparrow, who often polish
ed up a farthing too, until he could
see his face in it, and gave it to Tot
tle as a golden sovereign. And
Tottie valued it quite as much as she
would have done if it had been the
purest gold.
The idle young ,dog did not stay
very long; he was no bungler at this
sort of idling, and he knew the value
of leaving a good impression behind
him. So,.after a quarter of an hour's
pleasant chat, he shook hands with'
Bessie, and as hestood smiling, at
her, Wishing her good-day, with her
hand ift_his, the dour suddenly open
ed, and George Naldret appeared.
His face was white and haggard,
and there was a wild grief in his eyes.
The agony through which he had
f
on the previous night seemed.
to made him old in a few hours.
Hs stood there silent, looking at Bes
sie and young Mr. Million, and at
their clasped hands. It was but for
a moment, for I3essie with a startled
cry—a cry that had in it pain and
horor at the misery in his face—had
taken her hand from young Mr. Mil
lion's palm; it was but fora moment,
but the new expression that over
spread George's face like an evil
cloud was the expression of a man
whd had utterly lostill faith and be
lief of Heaven.
Bessie divined, its meaning, and
gave a gasp ofagony, but did not
speak. Not so y'oung Mr. Million.
"Good Heavens!" he cried' with a
guilty look which he could not hide
from George's keen gaze. George,
what has happened?"
George looked at young Mr. Mil
lion's out-streched hand, and rejected
it disdainfully and with absolute con
tempt. Then looked at the flowers
on the table—hot-house flowers he
knew they were—then into Bessie's
face, which seemed as if it were carv
ed out of gray-white stone, so fixed
did it grow in his gaze—then at the
ear-rings in her ears; and a bitter.
bitter smile came to his lips—a smile
it was pity to see there.
"These are pretty flowers," he said,
raising them from the table; in the
Intensity of his passion his fingers
closed upon the blooming things,
and In a moment more he would
have crushed them; but he restrained
himself in time, and let them drop
from his strongly veined hand. "I
beg pardon," he said, "they are not
mine. Even if they belong to you—
which-they do, of course—l can have
no claim on them now."
Readdressed himself to Bessie,
but she did not answer him. She
had never seen in Ms face what she
saw now, and she knew that it was
the dtintrref her love and , his.

engage it readily. It almost seemed
as if it wished not to be taken from
its resting-place.
As he held it in his hand ho knew
that his life's happiness was in it,and
that he was about to relinquish it.—
And as he held it,there came to Bes
sie's wind the words he had spoken
only the night before: "See here,
heart's treasure," he had said, "here
is the purse you worked for me,round
my neck. It shall never leave me—it
rests upon my heart. The pretty lit
tle beads ! }lowa love them ! I shall
kiss every piece of gold I put, in it,
and shall think I am kissing you, as
I do now, dear, dearest, best:
'Take it," George said now.
She held out her hand mechanically
and as George touched her cold fing
ers he shivered. Both knew what
ISEE
this giving and taking meant. It
meant that all was over between
them.
Old Ben Sparrow had come into
the room, and had witnessed the
scene in quiet amazement; he did not
see his way the remotest undestand
lag of what had passed. But he saw
Bessie's suffering, and he moved to
her side. When the purse was in
her hand he touched her but she re
pulsed him gently. Some sense of '
what was due to herself in the pres
ence of young Mr. Million came to
her, - and her womanly pride at
George's 'rejection of her in the pres
ence of another man mime to her also
and gave her strength for awhile.
George's hand was on the door,
when young Mr. Million, who was
deeply mortified at George's manner
toward himself, and who at the same
time thought it would be a gallant
move to champion liessie'scapse,laid
his hand on George's sleeve and said:
'Stay; you owe me en esvlatna
tion."
"Hands oft!" cried George is
dangerous tone, and it tierce gleam
in his eyes... Hands off, you sneak
ing dog! I owe au explanation, do 1 ?
I will give it to you when we are
alone. Think what kind of an expla

Every nerve in George's nouy
quivered with passion and , pain.
"You can't frighten me with blus

was no coward„ "although you way

—with a respectful look toward
Bessle. which mused George to press
his nails into his palms— "I will take
my leave, unless Mr. Sporrow wish
es me to stay as a protection to him
and his graiddaughter."
"No Sir;l thank you," replied Ben
Sparrow, sorrowfully. "George Nal
dret can do my child no more harul
than he has done already."
"Then I will go and he moved to
ward the door, ' first saying hewer.

friend"—indicating George with a
conteniptuous motion of the hand,
and repeating., "that I tried to be his
friend—
" Yon lie!" cried George.
"—Thinking;" continued young
Mr. Millian,with quiet disdain, "that
he was better than others of his class.
But I was mistaken. Mr. Sparrow,
you exonerate me from all blame in
what has taken place?"
"Entirely, Sir," :Said Ben Spar

"I wish you and your grandchild
good-day, then, and leave my hearty

With these words and a triumph

WHEN George Naldretewas seen
in the streets of Westminister, it Oca
dasioned, as may be imagined, no fit*
tie surprise. His neighbors supp
ed him to be on his wayto thejOth
er end of the world, and they Itther
resented his apoearanceamong them,
for he had in a certain measure de
ceived them. He had promised to
write to some, to tell than how, af
fairs were over the water, andtwo or
three courageous ones had already
made up their minds that if George
sent home a good account of things
they would sell every stick they had
and make for a land wherea brighter
future awaited them than they could
look forward to here. They would
have been satisfied if George had -
given them an explanation, but this
he had absolutely refused to do. "I
have altered my mind," was all they
could get from him. "I may do
that if I like, I suppose, and if it
don't hurt you." But some decided •
that it did hurt them; and whea.they
continued to press him for further
particulars, he desired them to mind
theleown businesEr, and as this was
the most difficult twit he could set
them,it made matters worse. George
was too delicate-minded and too hon
orable to introduce Bessie's name;
and, when the inquisitive ones men
tioned it, he turned upon them sav
agely. It caused quite an emotion to
the neighborhood.
On the first day Mrs. Naldret had
tried to per4irade George to keep. In

to go to Bessie and reiwse - her rem
her promise. Thus it Was that , he
met young Mr Million in the parlor
of the old grocer's shop,w here he had
spent su many happy hours. He had
decided in his mind what to say. He
would be gentle and firm with Bes
sie. And as he walked to old Ben
Sparrow's shop, disregarding „the
looks of astonishment which his first
appearance in the streets occusioned,
he rehersed in his mind the exact
words he would speak to her. But
when he arrived there and saw Mr.
Million smillingly Wilding her hand,
and saw the bunch of rare flowers on
the table, he received such a shock
that his plans were instantly swept
away, and be spoke out of the bitter
ness of his heart.
How the news got about was a
mystery, and how it, grew into exag
•gerated and monstrous forms was a
greater mystery still. Who has ev
er traced to its source the torrent of
exciting rumor which, like a rush of
waters, flows and swells, unlocking
vivid imagination in its course,until
reason and fac..are lost in the whirl?
An sorts of things were said. George
was frightened of the water; he was
in debt; he had done something
wrong at the shop he was working
at, and was not allowed to leave
without clearing it up; these and a
hundred other things were said and
commented upon. The peculiarity
of this kind of rumor is, that direct-
ly a nee' theory is started, it is ac
cepted as a fact, and is taken to pieces
and discussed in all its bearings.—
George was a fruitful theme with the
'neighbors on that Saturday night
and on the following day; they serv
ed him up hot 'like a new and appe
tizing dish 1, and so seasoned him and
spiced him and garnished him that
It would have made his blood tingle
to have known. But he did not
know, and did not even suspect. To
be sure, when Jim Naldret went to
the baker's on the Sunday for his
baked shoulder of mutton and pota
toes, he heard a few remarks,
but he did not say a word to George,
and the mother, father,and son spent
a sad and quiet evening together,and
thAft mond
gence was bandied trim Otieltniuutu
-or that Bessie Sparrow and George
Naldret had broken from each other.
Bessie had turned him off, it was said
they had had a dreadful ,quarrel the
night before he was to start for Lis?.
erpool. But it Is not necessary here
to set down all the reasons that
were given for the breaking of the
engagement. Some of them were
trail, and all were false. But in the
course of the day a little rill was start
ed, which grew and grew, and swell
ed and swelled, until it swallowed
up all the other waters. A rod was
thrown down, whic, becomin in-
stantly quick with l h ife,turned i nto a
serpent, and swallowed all the other
s erpents. it was said that Bessie had
discovered that George had another
sweetheart—who she was, where she
lived, and how it had been kept se
cret during all this time, were mat
ters of no importance; but It was first
whispered, then spoken aloud and
commented on, that this sweetheart
should have been something more
than a sweetheart to George
—she should have been his wife.—
The mason why she should have been
his wife was that George was a fath
er. But where was the child? nu;
mar decided this instantaneously.—
The child was no other than our poor
little Tottie• ; and George had basely
deceived old Ben Sparrow and Bes
sie luto taking care of the little one
by a clever and wicaed story that
Tottie was an orphan without a friend
in the world. Here was Rod for the
gossipers! How this hot dish was
served up, and spiced and seasoned!
It reached George's eats, and he
wrote to Ben Sparrow. He said that
he had heard some rumors affecting
his character; he did -not mention
what the se rumors were, but he said.
that the were wicked lies---wicked,
wicked Iles, he repeatexl in his letter.
