child—a child as innocent as he was
himself. If so, he was ready to take
the little one from Mr. Sparrow's
charge. He said no more, conclud
ing here, almost abruptly. A reply
soon came. Ben Sparrow had heard
the rumcirs,and yeas shocked at them;
he believed what Geer - ge . said in his
later. But the child, said old Ben,
was a comfort to them: by "them"
he meat himself and Bessie, but he
did not mention Bessie's name: it
formed the principal part of their
happiness now in their little home,
and to part with her would_eause
"thorn" great grief and pain. His
let O• i also,was short and to the point.
Anil so our little Tottie remained
with Old Ben Sparrow and Bessie,
and was even more tenderly cared
for than she had been before. Some ,
how or other. these letters were a
great consolation to `George and Bea
sie.
But the gossipers and rumor-Mon- .
gers would not let them alone. They
said that 'George's other sweetheart
had declared that if he went away
.he would go with him, and would
follow him all over the world. Bes
sie then was brought in. She had
another lover also, a lover she liked
better thin George. Who should it
be but young Mr, Million ? He gave
her-those pretty ear-rings, of course,
and he was seen to go into old Ben's
.shop with beautiful flowers in his
liands,and come away without them.
Ben Sparrow encouraged him,
k0,.0. Oh, it was plain to be seen what
ItT.ts going on ! So both George and
Bessie were condemned, and kind
gossipers did what they could to
keep them from coming together
again.
Geofge and young Mr. Million
met. Mr. Million was alone; George
had his father with him. The sight
of the idle, well-dressed; smiling
young dog made George furious. He
left his father, and walked swiftly
up to his enemy A policeman was
near. Young Mr. Million beckoned
to him and the limb of the law touch
ed his helm let, and came close. Jim
Naldret saw the-position of affairs in
a moment. "Come along, Gorge,"
he said, and Nuking his arm in that
of his son,altnost dragged him away.
When they reached home, Mrs. Nal c
dret made George promise not to mot
lost young Mr. Million, not even to
speak to him. "No good can come
of it, toy dear boy," sl.e said; "let
the ho! Don't get yourself in
to troubles for him; he's not worth it,
1 meet with his deserts one day."
Time passed, and the- world went
on as usual. George got work at his
old shop, and worked hard through
the ensuing spring and summer. At
that time murmurs of discontent be
gan to he heard among the builders
and carpenters—not only among
theta, hut • among the workers m
nearhi every other trade 1- well. La
bor was on the strike all over the
country, and one trade •ouickly not
lowed the example of another. Jita
himself began to murmur; he wanted
to know what he was to do
got old-and couldn't work—fir he had
found it impossible to put by money
for rai4Ty, day.
"Go toiliework-houye,l suppose,"
he said.
But Mrs. Nalllret said, "Let be,
Jim, let be; what's the use of look
ing forward'? We should he T happy
enough as it is if it wasn't for George's
misfortune. _Poor lad! all the salt
seqrus to have gone out of his life."
..z - Tn the summer the crisis occurred
in thnitade, and Jim Naldret care
home one day with his hands in i ts
pockets, and said,
"Well, mother, do You want and•
wa'Aking done? I'm on a strike."
"Jim ! Jim !" cried Mrs. Naldret.
"What have you done? Remember
Saul Fielding."
"Saul Fielding wasn't so wrong,
sifter all," said Jim; "I was a, bit too
hard on him. I can't help myself,
mother. I'm obliged to turn out
with the others."
It was well for them that during
this time George had saved a little
money; but although be gave them
very penny he had
vaftte tney had In the house,
they were in debt when the strike
was at an end.
"It'll be spring before we're clear 1
mother," said Jim; "we've got to
pay this and that, you know?"
Mrs. Nahlret knew it well enough,
and she began to pinch and save; I
this little family foUght the battle of
life well.
Old Ben Sparrow. of course, suffer
ed with the rest. Trade grew duller
and duller, and he drifted steadily,
got from bad to worse, and from
worse to worse than that. Autumn
came and passed, and winter began
to make the poor people shiver; for
oats were at a wicked price. Down
went old Ben Sparrow; sadder and
sadder grew his face; and one day,
within a fortnight or Christmas—
alas! It was just a year from the
time when George was nearly going
away -Bessie heard a loud and an
voiee in the shop. She hurried
in, and - saw her grandfather trem

Ben: `•there isn't eighteen-pence in

And the poor old fellow pleaded

THE MAN IN POSsEssms.
Old Ben :sparrow - had genuine
cause for his distress. Ruin not .on
ly stared him in the face, but laid
hold of him with a hard grip. The
landlord was as good (or as badi as
his word. He called the following
morning for his rent, and, as it was
not forth-coming, he took an inven
tory. and put a man in possession.
lie brought this person in with him.
strange-looking man, with n
twelve month's growth of hair at
least on his face, and all of it as white
as snow. The faces of Ben Sparrow
and Bessie were almost as white as
they followed the hard landlord from
room to room, like mourners at a
funeral. There was first the shop,
with very little stock in it, and that
little in bad condition. As the land
lord said, how could a man expect
to do business, and he able to pay his
way honestly. when everything he
hadl7l - sell was stale and niouldy?
And old Ben answered, humbly.
"yes, yes, Sir, you're quite right,
Sir. I ought to have known better.
It's all my fault. Bestilie, my darling;.
all- my fault!" , Ana feltas if, in
stead of an immediate execution
coming to him, he ought to be led off
to immediate execution.
"What d'ye call these ?" asked the
landlord. contemptuously.. "Figs!
Why, they're as shriveled as—as you
are."
. "Yes,' yes, Sir; quite right, Sir.
We.are, Sir, we are; we Ought to be
put away! We're worth nothing
now—nothing now !"
After 'the shop came the parlor,
with the furniture that old Ben had
bought for his wedding more than
forty years ago; he sobbed as the
landlord called out, "One old arm
chair, stuffed and rickety!" and said
to Bessie, "Your grandmother's fa
vorite chair, my _darling !"
The old fellow could have knelt
and kissed the "one 61d arm-chair,
stuffed and rickety," he was so ten
der about it. 'Then they went into
the kitchen; then up stairs to Ben
Sparrow's bedroom, and old Ben
cried again as "One old wooden bed
stead—wheezy!" Went down in the
inventory; then into another bed
room, where Bessie and Tottie slept,
The man in possession stopped down
by the child's bed. •
"What are you looking for ?"`de
manded thelandlord, testily.
"I was thinking the child might be
there," replied the man in posses
sion. meekly , "there is a child, isn't
there ?"
"What if there is!" exclaimed the
landlord. "Can't sell a child. There's
no market for them."
Old Bep explained : "There Is a
child. Wor little Tottie! But we've
sent her out to a neighbor's, thinking
you ;would come."
"And might frighten her, elf?"
said the landlord. And shortly af
terward took his departure, leaving
the'man in possession, with strict in
junctions not to allow a thing to he
takin out of the house.
"You're accountable, mind you,"
were his last words.
Bessie and her grandfather felt as
if the house had been suddenly turn
ed into a prison, and as if this man,
with his strange face and snow
white hair, had been appointed their
Jailer. As he did not appear to no
tice them, old Ben beckoned to Bes
sie, and they crept out of the parlor
into the shop for all the world as if
they had been found guilty of some
desperate crime. In the shop they
breathed more freely.
"What are we to do with him.
Bessie?" asked Ben. "What do
they generally do with men in pos
session? They give 'em tobaccoand
beer. I've heard. Oh dear !oh dear!
I don't mind for myself, my darling
I don't mind for myself. It's time
I was put away. But for you, Bes
sie—oh. my darling child ! what
have I done to deserve this?
What have I done? What have I
done?"
"Grandfather," said Bessie,firmly.
"you mnstn't go on like thi4. We
must have courage. Now I've made
up my mind what I'm going to do
I'm going to take care of you, dear
grandfather, as you have taken care
Of me. You know how clever I am
with my needle, and I intend to get
work; and you shall thread Inv nee
dles for me, grandfather. We can
live on very little-4P
tier poor white lips began to trem
ble here, and she kissed the old man
again and again, and cried in his
arms, to show how courages she was.
"I beg your pardon." said a gentle
voice behind them. -It WAS the man
in possession - who spoke. "I beg
your pardon," he repeated. "May
I beg a word with you in the par=
for?"
They dared not for their lives re
fuse him, and they followed him
tretnblingly.
"I am aware," he said then, as they
stood before him like criminals,
"tint I am hereon an unpleasant dit
ty, and that I must appear very dis
agreeable in your eyes—"
"No, no, Sir;" remonstrated Ben,
feeling that his fate and Bessie's
were in this man's hands; "don't
say that, Sir! Quite the contrary,
indeed, Sir; quite the contrary, eh,
Be,-sie?"
•
And the arch old hypocrite tried to
smile, to show that he was delighted
with the man's company.
"But I assure you," continued the
man, "that I have no desire to annoy
or distress you- rhp syn Evasun
urs nand toward his white hair—
"as you may see."
"What is it you want us to do,
Sir?" ; asked Ben Sparrow. "I am
sure anything you want, such as to
bacco or beer—or anything that there
is in the cupboard—"
"I want you to feel as if I wasn't
in the house. I know, for instance,
that this is your sitting-room, I don't
want you to run away from it. If
you like, I will go and sit in the
kitchen."
"No, no, Sir!" implored Ben Spar
row. " Not for the world. We
couldn't allow such a thing, could
we.Ties4ic."l"hi4 is my granddaugh
ter, tSiri—the dearest child that man
ever had !"
Why, here wits the man in posses
sion, as old Ben broke down, actual
ly patting him on the shoulder, and
looking into his face with such genu
ine sympathy, that before Ben knew
where he was, he had held out his
hand as to a friend! What would the
next wonder he?
"That's -right," said the man in
posseslon; "we may as well betotn
forfable together, and I shall take it
111 of you, if you and your grand
daughter do not use the parlor just
as if I wasn't here. If you don't, I
shall go and sit in the kitchen."
They could do nothing else after
this but look upon the parlor as their
own again. Bessie felt very grateful
Ito the man for the symnathy he had
shown for her grandfather, and she
took out her old work-box, and sat
I down to mend a pair of Tottie's
sacks. "The way that child makes
holes in her toes and heels is most as
tonishing." Ben - had often remarked.
The man in po , , , :esztnn glanml at
the little soeks, and then at Bessie,sn
thomrhtfully and kindly that she
gave him a wistful smile, which he
returned, and said.
•
"'Phsink you .ch ild!" in a very sweet
and gentle tone.
When dinner-time came. and be
fore they ennui] ask him to share
their humble meal, he went to the
street-door and called a boy, who, in
obedience to his instructions, bought
some cold meat and bread at n
neighboring shop. All he asked
Bessie to give him was a glass of cold
water, and with this and his bread
and meat he made n moil meal. To
the astonishment- of Bessie and old
Ben. they found they were growing
to like him. After dinner. he seem
wiles he drowsy. and sat with closed
eyes and thoughtful face in the corn
er of the room he had appropriated
to himself, which, it may be remark
ed, was not the warmest corner.
Bessie and old Ben talked in whis
ners .at first. sons not to disturb him,
hut after a time his regular breathing
eonvineed them that he was sleeping,
and Bessie laid down her plans to
the old man. When they were
turned nut of the shop they would
take one room. Bessie said; they
would be very comfortable, she was
sure, if they would only make un
their minds to be so, and would work
for all three, for grandfather. Tottie,
and hersllf. Indeed. the girl show
ed herself so much of a true woman
in her siteech that ahe was almost be
ginning to persuade the old man that
what hart - occurred was, after all, no
great misfortune.
"How strange that his hair should
be white !" remarked Refl. looking
at the sleeping man. "He does - not
seem old enough for that. He isn't
very attentive to his business, what
ever they may be. Why. Bessie,”
said the old man, in a whisper that
was almost gleeful . "we could actual
ly run away !" But his thoughts as
sumed their sadder termer Immedi
ately afterward, and he sighed. ''Ah.
Bessie! What will{k,orge think of
all this? They've had trouble at
home too, Resale dear, daring the
strike. I often wished, during that
time, that I could have gone and sat
with them. and comforted them; find
you wlshed so too, Bess, I know."
"Yes,..dear" answered Bess, in a
Quiet tn.DP.'"I wished so too. But
OPoree Might have put a wrong Con
struetion trpon it."
"Bess, darling, tell me—"
"No; no l" died
her bands entreatingly; for the anric
Ipated . what balsas about to sad*.
"Don't ask ine, grandfather! It can
never, never be! Oh, my dear, I try
to forget, but I can't!", She paused,
unable to proceed for her tears, but
presently said, "I should be so much
happier if he thought better of me—
although I know that we can never
be to each other what we were. I
VMS angry and indignant at first, but
lam not so now. If he had only
answered me about Tuttle—dear lit
tle Tottle—" The man murmured
in his sleep, and they spoke in hush
ed voices.
"It was wrong of me to doubt
him," continued the girl, "very.
very wrong ! I should have trusted
,him, as he told me to. 'He can nev
er think well of me again—never,
never! But do you know, dear, that
I have loved Tottie mote since that
time than I did before—poor little
motherless thing! I shall never be
happy again! Never again! Oh,
my poor heart!"
It was Ben's turn now to be the
consoler, and he soothed her, and ca
ressed her, and suddenly cried.
"Bessie! young Mr. Million!"
What made Bessie turn white at
the name? What made her gasp
and bite her lips as the young gentle
man entered the room ?
"I am grieved to hear of what has
happened, Mr. Sparrow," he said,
taking off his hat, "and I have come
at once to ask if you will allow me
to assist you."
"Hush, if you please, Sir" return
ed Ben. "Seeak low. That—that
man in the corner has been put in by
the landlord, and I shouldn't like to
wake him. We are in great distress
—ruined, I may sa,N-, Sir—"
"Then let me help you," interrup
ted young jr. Million, eagerly. "It
will be a pleasure to me. Let me
pay this man off. You and Mine
Sparrow will confer an obligation up
on me—believe me!—lfyou will allow
me to do this."
"I thank you for your offer, Sir,"
replied Ben, with a helpless look
around the humble room in which he
had spent many happy years, "but"
—something in Bessie's face impart
ed a decision to his voice—"it can't
be."
"Why.?"
"Well, Sir it might get talked
about, and that wouldn't do Bessie
any good. You see, Sir, you are so
far above us that it's impaviible we—
we can mix, Sir. 1 es, Sir, that's it;
it's impossible we can mix. No,
Sir, it can't be."
Young Mr, Million was silent fora
few momenta. and tapped with his
fingers impatiently on the table.
"For some time," he then said, "I
have seen that you and Miss Sparrow
have rejected my advances, and have
been different from what you were.
Why, may I ask again?"
"Wall, Sir," replied old Ben, em
boldened by the expression on Beg
sie!s face, "it is best to speak plain.
You see, Sir, the neighbors will talk;
and when they see a gentleman like
you always a-visiting pmmor people
like us. they want to know the rea
son of it. And as we've no reason to
give, they make one for themselves.
People will talk, you see, Sir, and I
am afraid that my Beanie's name—
my Bessie! the best girl in the world,
Sir, good enough to be a princes—"
"That she is," put in young Mr.
Million.
"Well, Sir, as I was baying, I tun
afraid that my Ileasie's name has got
mixed up with yours by people's
tongues in such a way as to cause sor
row to her and me. I have heard,
Sir, that she was seen one day -near
ly a year ago now—go into your
house, and that has been set against
her, and flung into her teeth, as a
body might any. Well, she did go
into your house that once—and only
that once, mind!—and took a letter
from me which you desired me to
send by her last year when I was in
trouble. You helped us then, Sir,
and I amogratefill to you, though I
can'tptay you. And welv.a.crott*...im,
o•ilit, And the ear-rings you gave her
—for they're been talked about too,
and that's the reason we - sent them
back to you—was the ..muse of a
greater sorrow to my poor girl than
she has ever experienced in her
life."
"Oh !" exclaimed young Mr. Mil
lion, with a slight sneer in his tone.
"You mean bet..ause the affair be
tween Miss Sparrow and that cub,
(;Norge Naldret, has been • tiroken
off."
From Bessie's eyes came such a
flash, that if the idle young dog
could have flown through the door,
and have disappeared there and then
instantaneously, he would have
gladly availed himself of the oppor
tunity. Old Hen Sparow's blood, al
so. was up.
"Be kind enough to go, Sir," he
said, with more- dignity of manner
than Bsie had ever seen in him;
"and wherever we are, either here or
elsewhere, leave us to ourselves and
our troubles."
Their voices roused the man in
possession; he yawned, and opened
his eyes. Young Mr. Million, saw
here an opportunity to assert himself
as the heir of a great brewery, and to
indulge in a small piece of malice, at
one and the same time.
"I must show my sense of ingrati
tude•," he said, "by somewhat severe
measures, and therefore you will ar
range at once for the repayment of
the money I have advanced to you.
I must remind you that there is such
a thing as imprisonment for debt.
As for the money your son embez
zled from our firm, 1 must leave my
father to Settle that with you. In
the mean time—"
"In the mean time," interrupted
the man in possession, to the a.ston
islimPut of all, "I'm the master of
this hoyse, being in
,possession; and
as yoteje not down in the inventory,
I lutist request you to leave."
And without allowing the idle
young dog to utteranothtr word, the
muffin po s session, with wrist of iron,
twisted him around and thrust him
from the old grocer's shop.
So young Mr. Million, for a frh
supply of wild oats, had go to anoth
er market. And doubtless succeeded
in obtaining them; they are plentiful
enough. •
Ben Sparrow could not but thank
the man in possession for friendly
interference.
"Don't mention it." said : the man
In possession, adding, with an odd
smile, "he's not down in the inven
tory, you know."
The interview had caused old Ben
and Bessie great agitation, and left
them sadly distressed; but nothing
could exceed the consideration of the
man in posession. He. did not ask
them for a word of explanation.
When, indeed, the old man stumb
lingly referred to it, he turned the
conversation, and asked for a sheet
of paper and an envelope. These be
ing supplied to him, be wrote a note,
ands when, after putting it in the en
veolpe and addressing it,he looked up;
his hitherto sad face wore such a
bright expression that Ben whispered
to his granddaughter,
"neatly, Bessie, he is a good fel
low ; he puts heart into one;" and
said, aloud, "Can I post the letter for
you, Sir?"
"No, thank you," was the reply;
"I can send it by a messenger. I
mustn't let you out of my sight, you
know. The landlord said I was as for you,"
Old Ben began to feel in prison
again.
It wns dark when Tattle was
brought home; she ran into the par
lor calling for grandfather and Bessie
and jumped into their arms, and
kissed them, and pulled old Ben's
hair, she seemed to bring in light
with her,
"Is that Tonle?". asked the wan in
possession in a tremulous tone.
"Yes, Sir," replied old Ben. "Go
to the gentleman, my dear."
Something like a sob came from
the man in possession as he lifted
Tottie and ked her; and when, a
little while afterward, the lamp wto
lighted, and Tottio was seen curled
up contentedly in the man's arms
_
eating sweets which he had bought
and was *lying her-with such a awet4
Moth as - Tonle had, it woo no won
der she was easily brought over—old
Ben-whispered to Bessie,
"Depend upon it, my dear, he has
iota little daughter at home, that
makes him fond of Tottle."
Everything about this strange
man was so gentle that they actually
looked upon him its a friend instead
ofan enemy.
OFTLY; SWEETLY, iIIOCEEDS THE
HYMN' OF HOME.
"Fr is a story about two friends,"
It is the man in possession who
is speaking. Tottle la lying in his
arms as contentedly as if she has
known him all her life; he has told
her the prettiest of stories, and the
child has 'Crowed and laughed over
them, until she is almost tired with
the pleasure and excitement. And
now, although It Is very nearly elev
en o'clock, and time to think of go
ing to bed, Bessie and her grandfath
er find themselves listening to a sto
ry which be says he desires to tell
them. Of course they dare not re
fuse to listen.
"It is a story about two friends—
mainly about those, although the
dearest hopes of others better and
purer than they are mixed up in It
The story , is a true one. What shall
I call these friends, so as to distin
guish them ? Shall I say George for
one— What is the matter, my
dear?" For Bessie had looked with
a startled glance into the stranger's
face. "George Is a common name
enough, and this man whom I call
George is a good man, in every sense
of the word. Say, shall I call him
George?"
"Yes, if you please," replies Bes
sie, faintly, turning her face from
him..
"And the other—l will call him
Saul." , I
"Bide, my clear!" exclaims °d
Ben Sparrow. "Do you hear? Said
and George?"
Bessie's hand steals into his, mid
the stranger continues.
"Say, then, Saul and George.
They lived and grew to maigtood in
just such a neighborhood as this.
Saul was the elder of the two by six
or seven years; but notwithstanding
the difference in their ages, they be
came flan friends. They talked
much together, and read together;
for Saul was a great reader, and took
delight in audying. and (according
to his own thinking) setting wrong
things right. I believe that, at one
time of his life, he really had a no
tion that It was his Mission to redress
the wrongs of his class; at all events,
it is certain that he elected himself
champion of his fellow-workinen ;
and as he had the fatal gift of being
able to speak well and fluently, the
men listened to him, and accepted
his high-flown words as the soundest,
of logic. George admired his friend,
although he did not agree with him;
and when he was a man he took an
opportunity of vowing eternal friend
ship to Saul. Such a vow meant
something more than words with
George; for he was constant and true
to the dictates of his heart. Where'
ho professed friendship, there he.
would show it. Where he professed
love, there he would feel it. And it
might bedepended upon that neither
in his friendship nor his love would
he ever change. He was no idle
talker. Saul, working himself into
a state of false enthusiasm respecting
his mission, waited but for an oppor
tuniuity to raise his flag. The oppor
tunity came. A dispute arose be
tween master and men in a certain
workshop; Saul piringed-himself in
to the dispute, and by his fatal gift
Inflamed the men, and fanned the
discontent until it spread to other
workshops. Neither men nor mas
ters would yield. A strike was the
result. In thisstrike Saul was the
principal agitator ; ho was the speak
er, and the man upon whom all de
pended, in whom all trusted. Hear,
in a few words, what occurred then.
After making things as:bitter as• he

lie told them that, upon more seri-
Ous considerations, he had been led to
alter his mina, and that he was
afraid of the misery a longer fight
would bring upon them and their
families. The men were justly furl
cus with him ; they called him
names which be deserved to be call

returned to work on the old terms,
and all of thein c .---masters and men—
turned their baeks upon the Man who
had betrayed them. Only one among

was George. From that day Saul be

and he dragged down with him a
woman who loved him, who trusted
in him, and whom he had robbed oT
her good name. Stay, my dear,"
said the man in possession, placing a
retraining hand upon Bessie ' s sleeve;
the girl had risen uncertain, whether
to, go or stay._ "You must hear what
I have to say; I will endeavor to be
brief. This woman had a child, a
daughter, born away from the neigh
borhood in which Saul was known.
Her love was great; her grief was
greater. Saul showed himself during
this time to be not only a traitor, hut
a coward. Ile-took to drink. What
then, did this good woman—ah, my
dear, how good she was only Saul
knows!—what did this good woman
resolve to do for her child's sake?
She resolved that she would not al
low her child to grow up and be
pointed at as the child of shame; that
she would endeavor to find some
place where it could be cared for, and
where, if happier times did not come
to her, the child might grow up in
the belief that her parents were dead.
Shame should not cast its indelible
shadow over her darling's life.
Saul, in his better mood, agreed with
her. "I have no friends," said
this woman to Saul; "have you?
Have you a friend who, out of his
compassion for the child and friend.
ship for you, would take my darling
from me, and care for it as his own?"
Saul had no friend but one. George!
He went toGeorge anti told his troub
le, and this dear noble friend, this
Man ! arranged with a neighbor to
take the child, and bring her up. He
promised sacredly to keep Saul's se
cret, and only to tell one per Son the
story of the poor forsaken one. "I
may marry one day, Saul," he said,
"and then I must tell it to my wife."
In this way the mother Obtained her
desire; in this way came obout her
love's sacrifice !"
Tick—tick--tick--comes from the
old-fashioned clock in the corner.
Bessie has sunk into her chair, and
her head is bowed upon the table.
She hears the clear tick, and thinks
of a year ago, when, standing at the
door with her lover it sounded so
painfully in her ears. What pain,
what pleasure, has this strange man
brought to her! For she knows that
the story he is telling is true, and
that Saul's friend; George, Is her
George, whom she has loved trul
.and faithfully during all the sad year.
-What pain! What pleasure! What
pain to feel that George is parted
from her forever. What pleasure to
know that he is without a stain, that
he is even more noble than her love
had painted him! She mime her
head; her eyes are almost blinded by
her tears; she stretches forth her arms
for Tottie.
"Let me nurse her!" she sobs.
"No, my dear." says the man In
possession; but he places Tottie's lips
to hers, and then stoops and kisses
Bessie's tears which have &lien on
the little one's face. "There is more
to tell. Shall I go on?"
"A happy time comes to George.
He falls in love with a tenderhearted,
pure-sorted girt—"
Beagle kneels at.his feet, and looks
in bewilderment at the man's strange
face, at his snow-white hair, and in
gratitude raises his hand to her lips.
"There, there, child!" hesays; "sit
down: you interrupt my story.

where George can more quickly save
money to buy the home to which he
yearns to bring his bird. But on the
very! night, - within three hours of
the time when George is to look his
teat upon the little house in which he
was born, he !estrus from Saul that
this, pretended friend has played him
ram: has told him lies, and has giv

Pose oi getting him out , of the coun
try, 80 that Judas can pay court to
the girt who reigns in George's heart.
Other doubts and misunderstandings
uriftirtfunately accumulate In these
critical moments; George learns that
the girl was seen to go into the house
where Judas's father lives; !earns
that Judas has given hera pair of ear
rings; learns that Judas was seen by
George's mother to place a letter in
the girl's hand—"
"It was for grandfather!" cries Bes
sie. "It contained money for grand
father to help him out of his tronbie!"
"Husk, my dear I What can you
know of this story of mine? When
George !earns all this, heir; in an ago
ny of despair. Re takes the tick°t
from his pocket. and is about to de
stroy it, when Saul fallson his knees
at his friend's feet, and begs,entreats,
in his agony, for the ticket, so that
he may go instead of George. For
Saul's dear woman has left h!m; has
charged him, by his love for her and
for their .child, to make an effort to
lift theta from shame; and he sees no
way—no way but th is , which is sud
denly opened to him. George gives
his friend the ticket, and the next
day Saul bidsgood-bye to the land.
Which holds all that is dear to his
heitrt."
The man in possession pauses here,
and old Ben Sparrow gazes earnestly
at him. 4 When he resumes,his voice
grows more solemn:
"Saul reaches his destination, and
after much wandering finds a shelter
in the mountains with a little colony
of gold-diggers. He makes a friend
there— David. Another David's
wife. God rest their souls! Anoth
er I)avirrs little daughter. Saul
finds gold, and thanks God for his
goods iti- He will come home and
make atonement. But the snow sea
son sets in, and he and his compan
ions are imprisoned by mountains of
snow whose shallowest depth Is suf
ficient for a man's grave if he is hur
ried up-standing. An awful night
comes, when-the snow drift Walls up
their tents. In the morning the
tents are hemmed in; the diggers can
not open their doors. Near to the
tent in which Saul and David and
David's wife and David,s little
daughter live, is a tree. Saul climbs
to the roof of the tent. breaks through
it, climbs on to the tree, and calls to
his friends to follow him. David
tries, and fails; he falls back into the
tent, and hurts himself to death.
Saul, in an agony, culls out for Da
vid's little daughter, and the mother
succeeds in raising the child through
the roof of the tent; Saul clutches the
little girl and takes her to his heart.
All this time the storm 'is raging; the
snow rises higher and higher. Da
vid commands his wife to save her
self; she refuses, and stays to nurse
him. and slowly, slowly, any dears,
the snow falls; the walls of the tent
give way; and David's wife meets
a noble death,..and both find their
grave."
Awe-struck, they listen to this
strange man's story. A look of pity
steals into his face---and then he mur
murs to himself, "Nee-why should I
bring sadness upon theta this night?
And says, aloud, r
"The tree to which Saul clings for
dear life with David's little daughter
one other man manages -to reach.
His story you shall hear to-morrow;
sufficient here to say that it Is a
etr•eattnir - t.retft"trelttli
gold to Saul for a good purpose. But
this man is -weak; his strength fails
him in the night; and when the next
morning's sun rises, Saul and Da
vid's little daughter are the only
OUPO left. Cardyou picture Saul to
yourself clinging to the tree, holding
in his arms the- life ofa dear little
one? Can you) realize the agony of
the time? Can you believe that his
grief and tribulation are sdPgrent dur
ing the terrible days that follow,that
his hair turns•snow-whio—"
"But he is saved?" cri. Bessie and
hergrandfather at once.
"Ile is saved."
"And David's little daughter--?"
"Is saved also, God be thanked!"
Thefdraw along breath. •
"But little remains to be told.
Saul comes home, bringing David's
littledaughter with him. He seeks
his dear woman. He marries her.
He hears that the old man and tho
dear girl who ,have protected and
reared his child are in trouble—that
an execution is to be put into the old
man's shop for rent—"
"And he becomes a man in posses
sion 1" cries oldNen, starting up In
indescribable excitement. "Oh dear!
oh dear ! He becomes a man in pos
sssion 1"
The tolling of the bell is heard.
"As you say. is not the Westritin
ster clock beginning to chime the
hour? Listen for one minute more.
When Judas comes in thisafternoon,
do you think thaman in possesion is
asleep? No; heis awake and hears
every word that passes, and such a
joy came in to his heart as he can
not describe—for tie thinks of George,
that dear friend,. that noble friend,
that man! \Vhatidoes the man in pos
session do whetr.Judas has gone? He
writes a letter qmesn't he? Hark! the
last hour is tollitlig ! Twelve !"
The door opens,and Bessie, with' a
wild cry,tnoves huts step, and press
es her hand to heart. George stands
before, pale with, the excitement of
this moment,' hcitieful, and with love
In his eyes.
~
"George, my (rea r boy!" cries old
Ben,grasping theyoung, man's hands.
"Can you forgive me,Bessie?" asks
George.
A grateful sob escapes from the
girl's overcharged heart, and the lov
ers are linked in a dose embrace.
As if the happy union has conjured
them up, there enter on the instant
Jim Naldret and Mrs. Naldret, she
nursing David's Ittle daughter. And
behind them wi b a wistful look,
with hands thattre convulsed with
excess of tenderness, with eyes and
face and heart filled with yearning
love, stands the Mother hungering
for her child! Tenderly and solemn
ly Saul places Tottle in Jane's arms.
The Mother steals softly into the
shop with her child, and Saul fol
lows, and kneels ',before her. Pres
ently she takes him also to her breast.
"Dear wife !" he murmurs; and a
prayer of thankfdlness for the me,r
cy and the goodness of God mites to
mind.
Half an hour afterward he enters
the room with Jane and their child.
"Bessie," he says, "this is tny wife,
Jane."
And as Bessiekisses her and ea
nwes her,t he sorrow: of the past melts
into gratitude fort present.
They sit and talk:*
"George and I re going into bus
iness torther," sAys Saul. "Weshall
start a little shop of our own."
"Anfil stop at-home." remarks Mrs.
Naidret "and he continued."
"Yes," replies George, "on bread
and-cheese and kisses. I shall be
able to buy tny riots and pans now."
Somehow or ott*r George has come
into possession of the little silk purse
again.
"Bessie!" exclatins Mrs. Naldret.
'"My dream that Hold you last year'll

The maid blush Os. She is dream
