At present upon thn chtate, and claiming It as sou ol the deceased, was a man calling him self William Acton," " Hut," said Sarfurt. " he Is not a le gitimate child at nil. His mother was Iletsy Totwootl, at onu time a girl in Acton's employ.

Tliis was a big fieo far iiioio tliati I had then mailt! in all my pleadings. It was tempting. And yet I siuv that it was not yetpcrf idly clear not entirely honest. Tho probability was that this William Acton was Phil lip's chili! ; and It was nut impossiblo that Philip had married liutsy Totwootl. It stiuck mo that Laban .Sarfurt was a villain, and that hu fancied that ho hod young Acton so far In bis power that bo could eject lilm from tho title. Hut what had 1 particularly to do with that ? If I accepted a client, I must servo him. 1 had no business but. to servo his inteiest. I linally told Mr. Sarfui t that 1 would think thu matter ovei, I should probably hava business in Shlreton during the session of tho court, and I would call on him there and examine moro fully. I could not taku his retainer until I had further light." ' liut," said bo, " will you promise not to take up for tho other side 7" ''I told liliu I would do nothing with out fuither consultation with him." " llecause," ho edded, " if you aro for me I tun turn to win. Action can't find a lawyei that can hold a caudlo to you. I know thorn ull." ' No matter whether I Uelloved lilm or not 1 did not teol llattcrod.. ' Two weeks later 1 recolved a letter from Sarfurt, promising mu live thou sand dollars it I won. " TIm live thousand dollars was a strong argument. Was not law really a game of chance, In which the stron gest baud and longest purso must win? I tuld tnynelf jes. Yes and I sat down and wrote a reply, saying that I would lake tho casu. lint I did not mall It al once. That night I put It nutlet' tny pHlow, ami slept over ll ; and on tho folluwiug'moitiitig I throw It in. to tho Ike. 1 would not mako up my mind until I lud been othei partias And I wiolo to Jiban Sarfurt to wall." " Two weeks later 1 harnessed my horse to the wagon, and with my wife and child, started for Shlreton. I had been man !itl two yeats and our llltlo babe, a gill, was a year old, our pride, our pet, ani our darling. Shlreton was a distance of about thlily miles. Wo had been having rainy weather for a week or so and it had now tieaied olT blight and beautiful We slopped and look dinner nt a wayside Inn, four nill"s beyond which was a stream which must bo fottlcd The Innkeeper told mo Hint tlie stream was somewhat -wollen fi mil Hie lale t alus, but that If my horso was trusty theto could bo no danger." " An I veil at the stream 'ho Warn patuck i i vi r I found (lie water Indeed ilsen, and the current strong, hut I saw I hat others hrrl recently gone over, ami I tesolveil to ventiiiu. 1 know my hoise and had faith In htm. My wife, was anxious, but she trustrd my iulgmnnt. A third of the way acrhss Ilio water was tiver Ilio hub nf the wheels A lit lie moro and It would have reached the hotly of the wagon. 1 began to bo alarmed : 1 feaied I hatl It-It 111 ! trim track Presently my horse -.tumbled ami slnguered, having ovLlo'illy step ped upon a moving stone. The wagon swayed and tipped, and the flood pouted in upon us. My wife slipped, and in a m inient mine we were in, thu water. With ono hand I grasped tho harness upon tho horse, and with tho other I lii-ld my wife. I was thus struggling when a wild cry from her lips stattled tho air. Our child was washed away. ' " Oh, my soul I I c.mnnl ti ll you what I suffeied during those moments. I could not help our darling. If 1 left my wife she was lost. I clung to tho lintse and clung to my shrieking wife shiiekliig to (lod for more for her child. The horso was struticllnr for Ihe shore In the dlslniico upon thn bnstim of the surging Hood I could set tlor little one, her white dit-ss gleaming In the sun, lii-lng homo swiftly away, A moment more 1 saw a man plunge fiom the bank Into the river. I saw this much and then an Intervening point of land shut out tho scene. The hor-e was now rapidly Hearing tho shore, and ere long my wife and I weiu upon tliy land, Willi tin horso ami w.igon. As soon as 1 was sure my wife was safe 1 b-ft lier to earn for the horse while I pmte.i off down thn liver bank In tpie-t of the swimmer and tho child. " Von may well liiider.s'and that, all this time I was frantic. I was a machine being operated upon Iiv a surging and agoii'liig emotion. How long or how lar 1 wandered I do not know, hut at length I in 'I a man. wet and dtipping with my darling In his aims my thirl ing sate and sound lie told me that ho had caiuht the child within a few tods ol the falls, and thai in laudiiij; he h.ttl cleared tho fatal abyss by not more than two y attls. Ho was a young man not iiioio than twen'y-llve hand some and stalwart IIo said lie hail seen my wagon tip, and was coming tn my as-Maneu when ho saw the child washed away. 'I throw my life Into t hu l(,ihince,sald ho with a genial sinilo, ' and tnank Uod I both tho lives were saved I' ' I asked liliu how I shout 1 over re pay him. Ho stopped mo with an im ploring gesture. " If you tall: of moro pay than I have already received,' ho said, ' If you can rob mo of tho only solid reward I can claim, mercy I if saving the life of such a cherub Is not enough reward in itself, then hard is the heart that can crave moro.' And with moistened eyes he told mo that ho had a child of his own at lionia an only child ot nuarly tho same aire. " I asked lilm if lie would tell mo his name. With a sinilo, ho answered that Ills naniB did not matter ho was not sure that bo bad a name, I then asked him if ho know me. IIo nodded, ami said he thought I might be Mr. Lurlingion, of Waldbridgo. When I told hi in that ho was coriect he said that 1 must exctiso lilm. IIo was wet and must hurty homo. An 1 with that ho turned away, I was too deeply moved to stop lilm, and when hu had disappeared I started to rejoin my wife with a dawning Impression that tho man might bo slightly deranged. Hut my darling was safe lie! broad ileecy cloak had floated out and kept her htud abovo water and I went on my way rejoicing, resolved that tho preserver of my child should uot bo for gotten. ''i will not, tell you of tho emotion of my wife when she held her child once moro In her arms. Wo reached Shlre ton before night and found quarters at a comfortable tavern. "On tlie following day Laban Sarfurt called upon mo and wasabjut to spread his evidence for my Inspection, when I Interrupted him. I told him I could not accept his confidence until I h-id made up my mind to taku Ids caso in hand. Something seemed to whisper that there was danger ahead I did not feel comfortable in that man's presence. I felt as though he was trying to buy inn. The court would sit lu four d lys. I told him I would give him a final answer In two days fiom that. "That evening I nude a confidant n my wife, and asked her wh it 1 should do. 'If I take tho case,',! bald, '1 am sure of live thousand dollar:?. ' She batlu ine do what was right. 'Clod lias boon very good to us," she said. ,'Let us iouk to Mini tor our guiosuce,- c . , "After tills J called on llm clergyilmyv of the place, whose son' bad heon 'my clasiiiiato In college, and whom I had until 1 had been on tho grounds. once befoio visited.

IIo said : " ' I am sure William Acton was a child of Philip Aclnn's In fact, I know it and I Ihlnk tho father nnd mother weio married. Ilelsey died very soon after her child was born, and wo know that Philip always treated tho boy as a legitimate child ; nnd that ho loved him as such 1 can confidently af llrin.' " "On the. following morning afler breakfast, as I at by tho window lu Ilio liar-iooni I saw coming up (Ins street, Ilio man who had saved my clflld. Ho was walking slowly liko one in trouble. I pointed 111 in nut to my host, and asked him who he wag. "Tlml Is William Acton. Perhapj you have heard of the Ironjito he Is ilkoly to have wilh Laban Sarfurt. "I said i had hoard. "I hope ho may como out all right, thn host added ; "but I am fearful. He has got a hard and heartless cus tomer to deal wllb. "I shut my mouth and held my pea-e until Laban Sarfurt called for his answer. I said lo him : "Mr. Rirfiirt, I have beeo consider ing all this than whether I could under take your case with a clear conscience, wheliit'r I should bo helping the side ot justice anil right in helping you. I hatl concluded that I could not do so before I had seen William Aoton.to know him by nanin I now know him for a man who nobly risked his own life to sivo tho life of my child. Kor that doed I will leward lilm if 1 can. I have as yet accepted not ono of your private dlsclosuret, I have gained from you nothing that you could wish to keep from the public. L cannot take your case, but I tell you frankly, that, if yon prosecute, I will defend William Ac ton." "I did not mind S.irfurt's wrath. IIo raved, and swore, and stamped, ami then ho went olf and engaged two law yers from Ileikiiner to take his case,. I called upon Acton and told him I would defend lilm if he accepted my service as I had accepted, his. "I liavri made a great many ploas In my life, bat I think I never uiAdoa bet ter ono than I made to that jury on that occasion. Thoy were out not over five minutes. Iiy their verdict William Acton was the lawful possessor of the estate bis father had left. "Krom that day I never hesitated to refuse a case to which 1 could not give my heart.

Concerning William Acton I will on ly say that ho became my boiom friend. He always telt that he owed Ids valuable property to mo ; and I know that I not only owed the life ot my chiltl to him, but tliat to lilm I was indebted for the homo that was in i tin for thirty years. lie was voiy delioato in the gift of that piece of property.
