iln ; hut my busiucss ohligei me to spend
miM ol my time alone, and when I have an
opportunity of getting among people, it U
good for my business that 1 should see and
hear at many of my felluw-creaturcs ns
poihle. Hence I prefer tho frequently
changing crowd of a third-clan carriage to
the thinly masked solitude of a higher
cla-s.
On this occasion the carriage in which I
found inyaell' had only shoulder-high com
p.irlment partition., so that one could see
Irom end to end. There were in all seven or
eight piT-otu present, and I was in the lat
compartment but one, with my bark to tho
engine, and in tho right-hand corner in I
ml.
For a few minutes I engaged myself in
observing the'five or six people scattered up
and down tho major portion in front of me,
then looking over my shoulder, I found that
the compartment nearest to the engine con
tained only a woman with a young baby in
her arms. Siio was sitting with her back to
mine. Owing to the violence of the wrench
1 had to givo my neck in order to see her,
my glance was brief ; but while it lasted I
cauzhl sight of an expression such as I had
neier before seen ou a human face, an ex
pression which so affected my curiosity and
wonder that after allowing a little time to
elapse, and just as we reached Walworth
lload, I shifted myself to the other end of
the seat ou which I sat, and, throwing my
arm carelessly over tho shoulder-high par
tition, looked long at tho pair. In the sense
that a surprising revelation may fascinate
any one, I was fascinated.
Although I could hear no word of hers,
even when tho train stopped, her lips moved
slowly, paused awhile, and then went over
again the very same phrases. At length I
learned the unspoken words of the passion
weary lips :
'.My darling 1 Sly baby son ! My own I
.My own I'
Did ever any other heart yearn so over
whelmingly over any other being? Wm
this a new manner, a higher, more intent
form of maternal love? And had all else of
that kind which I had seen been only the
preimlo to this imperial theme of pas
sion V
1 hoe words, beyond all doubt, were the
clue to her whole nature. That child, be
yond all doubt, was tho acme of her pre
sent life. She was as unconscious of the
presence of any strangers as though she sat
alone with her child under a palm tree in
the oasis of an ocean of sand,
TaUdgnte Hill I I.mlgatc Hill !'
I tic lrin stopped and I got up. She rose
with a shudder.
I left the carriage, and in 'doing so no
ticed that she had some difficulty in opening
the door, I turned the handle for her, and
assisted her to alight. She looked up :
'Thank you, sir.'
Deep-set blue-gray eyes with strange red
points of lire in them, like sparks of glow
ing charcoal seen through damp glass.
IKr left hand and arm swathed the baby
to'hir hoMim. The hand lay visible ami
hare ; on the third finger was n wedding
ring.
I confers that all the day I was haunted
by the f.ico of this woman. I could not get
it out of my mind. When I read, it camo
b. tween my eyes and tho page. In tin? street
I found myself looking lor it among the
crowd. I kept saying to myself the words
indicated by the lips but never breathed by
the voice.
I was detained in town until a late hour.
To tho evening I met n friend. Dr. Hubert
illiam ll.tird, of lirixtnn. 1 invited him
to supper, and we turned into a restaurant
in the Strand.
After supper wo lit rigars. I thought I
noticed a lo.l; of painful preoccupation ou
his faro. 'Has anything unpleasant hap
pened ?' I n-ked ; 'you seem nut of
s irts.'
lie shook hlmelf, smiled, and roused up.
'OIi, dear, no ! .Nothing the matter. I did
not .now I was looking blue. To tell you
the truth, I was thinking of a very unhappy
sceno that 1 witnessed to-day. You know
l. ington the solicitor ?'
'N'o.'
'.Michael Seymour Langton, you know?
'Ilis name, no more.'
A good fellow, A great friend of mine;
you must know him some day. Well, I
1 loked in nt his oflice to-day, lie's always
g'.ad to see a frieud. Ono of those free-ami-
e.ny, good-hearted fellows, who, without
making you feel n bit uncomfortable, will
ten you to be oil tlio moment ho wants you
to go, so that you need never bo afraid of
doing him grievous bodily harm hy staying
awhile if he'll let you."
'Well ?'
'Exactly. Ilut I can't help telling you
about him, he's such a capital fellow. You
and he shall dine with me Sunday. Kb. Y
'All right as far as I'm concerned i but
about the incident or scene ?'
'Well,' ho resumed after a few solemn
puffs nt his cigar, 'I wanted. 'Now,' said
Langton. A knock sounded at the door.
and a man entered. At first I thought Lang,
ton had made a false diagnosis of his visitor
for anything lets ecouudrelly than the ap
pearance of tho man I never saw. He was
of tho medium height, well made, handsome
with light blue eyes, straight nose, straight
mouth, clear complexion, and a most win
ning and disarming smile. He appeared to
he about 3S years of age. His moustache
and whiskers were brown, and tho well shav
en chin was very firm and clean In outline.
Upon tho whole an excel ding proper man.
and ono I thought, likely to be very popular
among tue ladles j In no way like you, my
dear Melton,
'Well, he came into tho room with a bow
aud u sinlle.holdlng his hat across his waist

setmed in doubt as to whether he and Lang.
Ion wgo to shake hands or not, and to tell
you the truth, I thought it both rude aud
painful for Iaungton to thrust his hands so
emphatically Into his trousers' pockets

FRIDAY, JULY 26. 1878.
"Air. Langton,' snld the stranger in n very
soft and winning voice, 'I have come, as you
know, on my wife's nml my own business.
You remember me? I am Antony Ity
land.'
"He assured I remember you,' ntuwered
Langton in a most Impolite tone, and with a
most scandalously unprofessional emphasis
on the word "you."
'Lmgton lncrea(d the base of the!socelcs
triangle his legs made with the heaith-rmr.
and said, ' You have come for the purpose of
meeting your wile, ami trying to induce her
to make ortr on you money which otherwise
will go to that child. Is not that so ?'
I thought Langtou's manner simply bru
tal. 'Sir,' said liyland, glancing from Langton
to me, 'wo are not alone.' He did not
show the leat sign of temper, but smiled as
gently as thnitili I were his sweetheart, aud
he were aking me to withdraw in onhr
that papa and he might talk over business
nspect of his sueops-lul lore-suit.
'I roo to go, but l.aiiL'tnn turned sharply

purpo-e of this man that you should he pres
ent he cm go. I desire, Iltird, that you re

woman carrying n baby in lar arms came
in. Indeed, she was one of the plainest wo
men I ever saw. She wore n hideous cold
green piam snawi anil an old yellow straw
bonnet, trimmed with faded violet rib

'Cold green shawl, old yellow straw bon
net with laded blue or violet ribbons. Why
urn you stop mo?'
And slie held tho child to her bosom as
though it wero part of her own body that
felt the cold anil needed all the heat of her
arms and her boom ?'
all fund mothers hold their babies so.
Do you know her ?'
She was in the carriage I came by to-day.
Go on,'
'When the woman saw liyland she shud
dered nnd drew the child closer to her. I
was watching every movement and looked
most clo-ely. Langton went to her, spoke
to her, taking her hy the hand he led her to
a seat with as much gallantry and deference
as though she was the finest woman and the
first lady in London. Kyland stood in the
middle of tho room with one hand on the
back of a chair and the other still holding
his hat in front of his waistcoat. He bowed
and smiled faintly as she crossed the room;
beyond that, ho did not move. After the
first look she never glanced toward him
again during the whole interview.
'.Vfter n few words by Langton iu a low
voico to tho woman, to which she mado no
reply, ho sat down at his writing table and
spoke out.
'Mrs. liyland, of tho money yoil inherited
from your great-uuclo from Jamaica lour
months after your marriage you have already
assigned away to this man half, or about A'2,
.100, on the condition that he was to keep
away fron you forever. This money has
been left to your private use in such a man
ner that he could have no claim whatever on
a penny of it, although he is your husband,
you, against my advice, made over to him
the moiety of that fortune. He has been
gambling again, and it is all gone '
'Operating on the Stock Exchange,' put
in liyland in a soft voice, as though more
desirous to keep statements accur.ito than to
shield or excuse himself.
'One-half of your fortune has been gam
bled away, and this -man now wishes to
have the nppnritini!) of dissipating '
'Of operating with ' broke in Hay
land. 'Of disipatlng more of it. Your decision
which has my full concurrence is that you
retain the money fur your-elf and your child
and that if he give any further trouble you
seek a divorce on the ground of cruelly.'
'Ilut I shall get back all I have lost if 1
can command only another thousand. Only
a thousand. Tliero will still besome left for
her and the boy, and I shall win all b.ick.'
'Not with my sipptoyul one penny,' said
Langton hotly.
Mint I have a light I am her hus
band.' 'We won't ili-cu-s hw with you, .Mrs.
liyland dtcliucs to piveyon thti money. The
law is open tn of. y.,u inn appeal to it if
) mi pleas". Tli.it is your an-wor. You can
le.ivts now.'
'Hut I Inn want In ccuro something for
our son,' said Itiiaiid. Ills f.u-e was now
deadly pale, and 1 mv his fingers lighten
and whiten on tlio brim of his hat until the
brim w.is crushed II iJ against the side. Tne
pleasant smile wero all gone now, and a
deadly sinister her covered his handsome
features. His blue eyes were glassy and cold
and Ids lips fell back from his white teeth
like a coward'a ntbay.
'Out at onen !' cried Lington, springing to
his feet niifiily, and I do helievo he would
have Used vlolenco had not llylaud hastily
withdrawn, closiiig.tho door very soflily af
ter himself.
'Thero was a lung silence. After awhile
Langton went across tho room aud stood over
her like a sentinel lion. Then he said iu a
low, kind voice : 'Did tho little fellow feel
tho cold ?'
'I tried not to let him.'shounswered, look
ing up for a moment, 'I am always afraid
to leave him behind, my baby son, I am
afraid lie,' looking fearfully at tho door,

'She bent and actually gloated over the
liltlo p.ilo slepcr, until ti queer kind of
dead pain came into my heart.
'Thero is no fear ot him doing that,' said
Langton. It Is the child's money he wauts,
and not the boy himself,'
'She ro-e to go. Langton conducted her
to the doorns though he was the first gentle
man iu England, shu tho finest woman in
London, the first lady iu tho land. 'Good
day,' said he. 'Good day,' said she, aud she
was gone.
'Langton came back und stood looking
gloomily into tlio lire. 'What a scouudrel 1'
he cried ; 'what an arrant scouudrel 1 what
nn uuappruachable scouudrel I' lie drove
his heel lulu the tk,al aud repeated tho
words,
'Tell me about it,' said I.
'Easily enough,' lie nuswerud. 'He was a
clerk In a stockbroker's ollice two years a.
and she earned just enough to llvo on in
some umbrella manufactory. Her people
had been comfortable once, but lo.t all they
had at her father's death: und two years ko.
us far as sho knew, sho was the only survivor
of tho family. Sho was then U vear of
ate, aud very plain looking, so that I dare
"""
say sho had no hoptH of out marrying. Sho
lodged in some place oil' Stamford street,
ninckiriar llridge, and her nearest friend
was her landlady, to whom she paid Ht. fi 1 a
week for her attic. Two vears aim lids Uv
land came to lodge In the same house. Ho
was tho gentleman' of the place, and rented
two rooms on the first lloor ; dingy and dis
mal as tho street was, tho rooms were largo
and, owing to tho locality cheap, Trom
the very first he began paying attention to
this woinnn and In tho end he made down
right love to her.
You may fancy how this poor creature
felt Haltered by the honor.iblo apffruachtsof
the gentleman on the fust floor. Well, to
cut it snort, in a few months thev wero mar.
rled; he was too consummate a liar to say he
loved her, and ho in thu full consciousness
that she had been left, n year before, about
i.o,lKliJ liy a rreat uncle who died after com
ing lionia from Jamaica, and of whom she
hud heard little or nothing all her life. The
money had been devied to her faiher and
his heirs absolutely, nnd had been advertis
ed. Then he got scent of it and hunted her
down.
'sharp as he was ho counted with
nut the law. lie thought that things were
still, with regard to married women's prop
erty, as they had been long ago, when tho
husba-id could say to his wife,' What's yours
is mine; what's inino is my own.' lie
showed his hand too soon. After a week he
grew careless of her. This nearly broke
her heart. In a month ho told her about the
legacy, and steps were taken to realize it.
Seeing how the thing was now, the landlady
penetrated the whole design. The good
woman's husband brought Mrs. liyland pri
vately to me. To sum up, we proved the
will, got tho money, and I invested the
money in stock, liy this lime I found that
ho owed large sums of money ; he had been
speculating through another, and had got
heavily let in. Ho continued his bad treat
ment of her, and at last, just as her baby was
about tli be born, .e gave t'2,ot)0 to take
himself oil' and leavo het in peace. All I
could do would not induce her to have a le
gal separation. Her whole soul, her whole
nature, now seems centered in that child.
'He might leave her, and did leave her,
but the baby came ; in the winter of her life,
in her worse than -widowhood, the baby boy
came. She hail given money to the husband
to go away, but the baby had come instead,
and lay in her arms all day and all night,
swcit fur her kisses, sweet for all her love,
the comparion of her woro than widow
hood, tho unconscious confident of all her
sorrows, tho antidote which, when pressed
against her bosom, healed her of her memo

'Get me back my child ; or kill me
here.
'I sprang up and turned round. The wo
man 'wt.s standing in the-door way. Iloth
her arms were stretched out toward Langton.
She was rigid as a statue, and at each corner
of her mouth appeared loam. Langton
turned around.
'Get me back my child; or kill me here,'
she repeated iu the same tone as before, a
tone that made us shudder.
'Still she stood rigid iu tho doorway
Langton looked at me and whispered, 'This
case is now one far you. Go to her and
speak to her.'
'I approached her and took one of the out
stretched hands. It was damp and cold,
As I led her into the room I slipped my fin
ger on fur wrist and looktd into her eves.
The pulse wa low and weak ; i had expect'
cd to find it high and strong. The semi
transparent ruby colored ll.iwn in the eyes
had diluted and gatlierul iheper fire ; the
expression was one ol intense stilji ctive oc
cupation. 'A bud case,' I thought to my
self ; 'the child nnd the image of the child
are gone; this alwavs means insanity. This
woman will be numbered as she is now, un
til either the child is r-lurned to her
or the image to her mind,'
'How dht (his happen ?' I asked her in as
gentle a voice as I could.
'He waited for mo outside. He took tlio

'I dropped her hand, and, having left her,
whispered to Lington, 'Is there any means
of compelling that scoundrel to give up the
child at once ?'
llo shook his head and muttered maledic
tion.
Then,' said I 'you had better send her
home in charge of some one.'
'You don't think she'll do violence upon
herself ?' he whispered.
'No. lint some one should bu always wilh
her until tho crisis anives,'
'What do you expect to follow tho cri-is?

'I had nothing very particular on hand,
so I did as rtijiKstul.
'When I next arrived at Langtou's outer
ollice the clerk beckoned to me and said,

'Without stopping to knock, I turned tho

He seemed about to spring ou the man.
liyland slipped his hand behind blm, backed
towards the door and said, 'Don'tcome near
me, Air. Langton. Well knowing the vio
lence of your temper, I was compelled to bo
a little un-English, and come armed.'
'Un-Englsh 1' shouted Langton, striding
over to him. 'There's nothing human not

' Ith the revolver held across his waist
coat and pointed at nothing in particular,
liyland backed out of the door and was
gone.
l'or some weeks after those scenes in
Langtou's ollice, they heard no more of liy
land. During that time his unhappy wife
continued in the same mental lethargy, but
betraying no emotion aud giving do Bign of
violence.
'in about six weeks from the day I was in
Langtou's ollice, Kyland wrote to say the )
child was ill, and that he would deliver it up
on condition of getting a thousand pounds.
Ah 1 said Langton to me the evening he
got the letter, 'so the threats of law have al
ready beaten him down two hundred, the ill
ness is nlie to force us to terms. I shall not
answer that letter.'
'Well, Melton, as you may guess, 1 was
by this time greatly interested in the cases,
legal and ni-dical. Iu a week I called agnin
upon Luuiiton, and u my ustonishm .
found Mrs. Kvland there.
l'he ' explanation was very simple. The
child had really been ill of scarlet fevi r, a I
possible care had peen taken of it, but nev
ertheless it had died, and wns tD be buried
that day ; and Langton ami thavacan'.-eiod
woman were selling oil' now to thecemj
tery.
'llylaud would not allow the mother to
approach her dying child, but when ii .va
dead beseemed to think he might run some
ugly risk if lm did not allowthe mother's
attendance at tho interment, and Laiutou
nnd she were now going. I examined 1 er
closely, but could observe no change ; the
channels of her reason were frozen up, and
iu precisely the same condition as ou the day
of her bereavement.
'.May I go?' I asked.
'Certainly,' said he ; and in a little while
the threo of us got into a cab and drove to
the cemetery Kyland had named.
'The same unbroken shadow of .mental
gloom hung over the unhappy woman. Du
ring tho whole drive she never spoke a
word. Her eyes were cast down most of the
time. Ou tho few occasions when she lifted
the n they sought Langton's face, but thero
was no question, no excitement In them. It
was plain from appearance that reason was
an exile, but the land reason had left be
hind remained still unoccupied by anything
save the spirit of the void.
'When we got inside thegates of the cem
etery we ascertained that the body of the
child had not yet arrived.
'Langton tinned to me and asked, 'What
d j on think will bo the result of to-day ?'
'I think, 1 answered, 'that it will bring
about the crisis, followed by perfect sanity
or violent iu-niiily ; but there is no telling
which.'
'Alter a while a mourning coach drove in
I will n it drag you 'hrough all the small
events of the interment. It w ill be sufficient
f ,r you to know that the father of the child
was not present, and that (luring the whole
time it occupied sho never altered in the

gau swaying slightly, and with a low moan
she buried her face in her hands and burst

On si- are profitable birds for tho poultry
man who has amply space to give them In
liieh thev can ati-ty their roaming in
slincts unrestrained by the nicessary limita
tions of a city poultry aul Tho universal
improvement which has resulted from tho
etl'oru i,l z-alnus fanciers in the past few
years has extended itself tn all classes of
feath-rrd stock ind included the various
v. ue i sof e se,of which the Emboden and
Toulouse are the best known. This improve
ment is shown not in an iucreased egg pro
duc i ni (' r no one has succeeded in chang
ing I lit- -iitursl habit of the goose In this
psiiicuUr in ns great a degree as has been
done with lowi-). but in the increased size
of the mature und-. Almost all varieties
of geese are good sitters and need only the
most ordinary precautions in setting them
to4 insure favorable results. After laying
out their batch of about a dozen eggs they
feather their nest iu a manner almost iden
tical with that employed by their wild con
geners, aud at once commence the duties of
incubation, After a few weeks tiial .the
egjes may be given the sitter, and a little
care is needed tor the next month, during
which she will sit quietly, provided she is
not too much annoyed and interfered with.
At the end of a month the goslings will ap
pear in good shape to begin life on their
own account, For the first day or so they
require only the same diet of boiled eggs
and bread crumbs as chicks of any domes
tic fowl receive, with perhaps the addition
of a little tender grass, cut fine, on tho sec
ond day. In the course of a few days they
will become strong enough to commence in
vestigations of the near neighborhood, and
may be transferred from tho nest to a coop
slatted up po that tho old goose will be con
fined, while the openings between the slata
will permit the goslings to pass in and out
freely. When the goslings appear to have
gained sufficient strength fur longer expedi
tions, the mother may bo given her liberty,
when she will lead her flock all over the
pastures and may be trusted to care for them
unassisted by her owuer. Geese left at large
in this way will thrive and grow fat simply
on what they can pick up suited to their
taste on almost any uncultivated meadow.
Grass aud various wild plants will furnish
their htajile food from April to November,
at which time the young are ready for mark
et. Geese frequently attain great age, and
birds of forty are by no means unheard of,
while n recent report mentions a venerable
specimen of sixly ) ears. A goose nt least
forty years old and still yearly laying her
clutch of eggs and bringing forth u fine
brood of goslings is mentioned Iu a recent
work, and Youngsters of twenty aro by no
means rare. Qeee raising can hardly fall
to be profitable many one having the prop
er facilities for their expenses for food are
almost niV, while the profits from the birds
weighing forty or fifty pounds to the pair is
by no means inconsiderable, nud live geese
feathers will always be in demand.
Insects as Talkers.
"Two nuts," says Iluckuer, "when they
are talking together stand with their heads
opposite each other, working their sensitive
feelings In the liveliest manner, and tapping
oach others heads." Numerous examples
prove that they are able in this way to make
mutual communications, aud even on cer
tain definite subjects, "I have often," lays
the English naturalist, Jessie, "placed h
small green caterpillar in the neighborhood
or an ant's nest. It is immediately seized
by an ant, which calls iu the assistance of a
friend after ineffectual t Units to drag the
caterpillar into the nest. It ran be clearly
seen that the little creatures hold a conver
sation by mfuns of their feelers, and this be
ing ended, they repair together to the cat
erpillar in order to draw it into the nest by
their united strength. Further, I haveol
served the meeting of auts on their way to
and from their nests. They stop, touch
each other with Uielr feelers, und appear to
bold a conversation, which, I have good rea
son to suppose, refers to the best ground for'
obtaining Cood." Hague writes a letter to
Darwin, that he one day killed with his fin
gers a number of ants who came every day
from a hole in the wall to some plants ou
the chimney-piece. He had tried the effect
of brushing the m away, but it was of no use,
and the consequence of tho slaughter was
that the nuU who were on their way imme
diately turned back, aud tried to persuade
their companions, who were not yet aware
of their danger, to turn back also. A short
conversation ensued between the auts who
wero not yet aware of their own danger, to
turu back also. A shod conversation en
sued between the unts, which, however, did
uot remit in uu immediate return, for those
who had just left the nest first convinced
themselves ot (he truth of the report.
