a story dp st. iuvid's day.
CHAPTEU I.
It was tho 1st o Mnrjli, !n tlio year
ofg'race!8 . In a tii'Tcliatit's olticc,
not far from C!ifiipfiK', a litllo mail sat
at a lilgli desk, trying hard, appari'tit
Iy to keep ono eyo on tlio lows tif fig
ures before him, and tlm oilier on
the ofllcb-clock. falling In thin, Ids
glances travelled from tlm one to tlio
o'thcr wltli pendultim llkorugulaiity. At
lat tho clock struck I lie wMii'd-for
hour of six; and tl)i little man r-lint thu
ledger v.llli a hang, arid after Incklne It
up carefully In tho ulllco-hafc, riaslied
Into n dark cupboard, mid began a has
ty but careful toilet, Involving great
splashing of water, and much violent
cxercleo with a stumpy nail brush.
Evan Jones vuis iiomiually uiaiiagiug
clerk, aud really general factotuui, to
the firm of liorwlck & Drown, hard
wood merchants. Ho was fifty years
of age, short, fat, utid good-natuied,
though a llttlo peppery at times. Ho
had a numerous family, whom lie found
It anything but easy to feed and bring
up ou his modest salary of lifty shillings
'a week. With strict economy, however,
he managed just to make both ends
meet. Not for hhu wero the breezy
sands of Hamsgate, or the chestnut
avenues of Hampton Court. Not for
liim wero the mild Havana or the fra
grant cigarette. He had no vices and
desired no lux ink's. One Indulgence
alone, In tho course of tho year, did ho
permit himself. Ho was a Welshman
to tliH backbone, and herein lay his ono
extravagance. Como what might, and
however depressed tho condition of the
domestic money market, he was always
present at the dinner of tho "UnlteU
Welshman" on St. David's Day. The
necessary guinea was to Jones as much
as a hundred to many of tlm other
guests who assembled at tho banquet
In question a sum to be saved and
scraped together by lnQulto sacrllico
aud self-dctilal. Dut
"Though back anil aides p;o bare,
Tl otin h hanils and foet ko co il,"
as the old aong bays, bcraped together
It must bo, by hook or by crook. For
nearly a week prior to tho present oc
casion, Kvau's dinner had consisted ot
a saveloy nud a penny roll; and ou tho
day of our story he had taken no food
whatever sluce Ills frugal breakfast, In
tending to compensate himself hand
Romely for his abstinence at thu expense
of Ihu "United Welshmen." He had,
in truth, gone so long without food as
tof'i el a llttlo exhausted; but ho con
soled hlum-lf with the thought bt tho
splendid appetite ho should carry to tho
festive boards and having at last com
pleted Ids toilet, ho shut up tho office.
uud started for the hostelry where tho
dinner was to be held, feeling at least
six feet high, and humming Ar hyd y
n os witu patriotic, energy.
At nlmost tho same moment when
Kvan Joues stalled on his journey, a
tan, Handsome mau,in laultless evening
alt.re, stopped out of a West end man.

bright girlish face, accompanied him to
the nail door,
"You won't bo very late, Owen, will
you? sue said coaxlngly.
"Not veiy early, 1 am afraid, pet.
Wo 'Welshmen' aro rare fellows for
keeping it up; and if I came nway be
fore all tho national toasts had been
duly honored. I should never hear the
last of It."
"Very well, dear; then I supposo I
mustn't expect you till I see you, I
hope you will hnvu a pleaeaut evening.
Don't take too much wine," she con
tinued, laughingly.
"Can't answer tor myself nu such an
occasion," her husband responded.
"The Tavern," ho said to tho
coachman; nod kissing his hand to his
wife, In a few uiumenU was whirled out
bt eight.

Kvan Jones who had but a couple ot
hours rattier left tlio olllco of Messrs
llorwlek and Drown. His carefully
brushed hair wai now rough aud dis
hevelled, his face red, his sblrt-fiont
limp auu crumpled, his utterance thick,
aud his general appearance that of a
gentleman vho has dined "not wisely,
but too well." Poor Evan had been
by no means Immoderate In his pota
tions, but he hud so weakened himself
by long fasting, that the little he had
taken had au exaggerated elfect upon
him, and he was rapidly becoming
argumentative, not to say pugnacious.
It was an article of faith with hlui.eveu
lu his sober moments, that brj, was In
some mysterious way' connected with
the last of the Welsh kings, and In his
present elevaled coudlllnn this idea
took possession of his mind with re
doubled emphasis. He had tuote thai)
once commenced a sentence beginning,
"As a 'scendanl of Llewellyn," but
without getting any further. At tho
second failure Ids left hand neighbor,
to whom tho observation was addressed,
replied profanely, "0,b!ov Llewellynl"
Evap Jones looked ut Iilm for a mo
ment with an cxpicssloti of immeasur
able scorn nnd disguit, and then turn
ed to his light hand neighbor: "'S a
defendant of Llewellyn, 'pears to mo
as a 'seeiidant of Llewellyn " and

In his native WuMi, and who would
piobably havu continued lu tlio same
train for some time, had not the chair
man leiiuested attention for the "March
of then Men of Harlech," which was
about lb be clvcn by the choir. Jones
sat still during tho chorus, with head
and Hand Keeping tipsy time to the
measure; but his soul waxetfliot within
him under tho influence of the Inspiring
strains, aud no sooner had they ceased
than ho wildly got upon lils legs, aud
said In a loud, thick voice:

derl" "Chalrl" "Sit down!" And
Jones was pulled violently dowii by tho
coat-tails by one of his neighbors. The
gentlemanly-looking man to whom wo
have alluded In our first chapter was
Jone'a vis avls at the table. The
sceno was so ludicrous that he could not
repress a smile, which was observed by
Evan, whose choleric temper fired up In
stantly at the supposed affrbnt.
"What tu' devil you grinning at, look
you?"
"Did I smile? I really beg your par
don; but I am quite sure I was not
'grinning,' as you call it."
"You did, sir; you gttnhed like
like a Cheshire cat, blr, I appeal to th'
gen'lmen present. Natuo's Jdues;very
good name;'scendant of L!ewellyn;aud
I 'mand 'sfttctlou ot a gcu'lman."
"My name Is Jones, too, though I
haven't tile honor of being a descend
ant of Llewellyn, Thero Is my card,
sir and If, when you como to your
sober senses, you desiro to apologise
for your tiuaeemly behavior, I shall be
happy to scg you."
Evan's light hand neighbor thrust
tho card which bore the inscription

into Evan's waistcoat-pocket, and the
owner by no means desirous of belug
involved in an after-dinner brawl,
moved away to another part of the
table. Ity ill nt ot a llttlo humoring,
those around managed to soothe the
fiery Evan Into comparative tranquili
ty, aud niter a few more desultory Ob
servations, wherein his dlsceut from
Llewellyn still played a prominent pdrt,
he leant back In his chair, and was
speedily fast asleop.
The toasts came, to an end at last, tho
bards packed up their harps, and the
last of tho guests departed, leaving
Kvan Jones btill sound asleep In his
chair. A council of waiters was held
over tl.o slumbering hero aud endeavors
wero made to rouse him. They shook
him, they pinched Iilm butall In valu.
He couldn't, or he wouldn't, wake up.
They succeeded In getting out ot him
that his name was Jones, but to a
further Inquiry as to where he lived, he
only murmured, "'scendant of Llew
cllyn," nnd relapsed again Into a still
deeper slumbers.
"You'll have to give hlra a shake
down among the empty bottles, Wil
liam," said ono.
"Not If I know It," replied the head
waiter. "He might wako up In the
night and walk off with the spoons. No,
wo must find out wlitru he lives, some
how. Some ot vou must look in his
pockets, will yott? Perhaps tlio gent
has a card-case about him."
No sooner said than dono.
"Here's a card," said one, diving In
to Evan's waistcoat-pocket. ".Ir.
Owen Jones, C9 Wiuslow Square.' "
"That's liiiit right enough; ho said
his namo was Jones. Ho don't look
much like a Wfnslow-Squaro sort, dues
lie? Hut there's no Recounting for
theso Welsh gents. Just as well he had
his pasteboard about Iilm, though,
wasn'tlt? or ho wouldn't havo gut homo
to-night."
It was a llttlo after eleven o'clock
when a four-wheel cab drovu up to the
door of No. OU Wiuslow S piaro.
"This Is Mr. Jones,' ain't II?" said
th cabman to the smart parlor maid
who answered his knock at tho door,
"Yes, this Is Mr. Jones,' answered
the maid.
"That's the namo right enough,
nero's the card they gavo me; 'Mr.
Owen Jones.No. 03.' Well, look heie,
I've brou ght your nfaster from thu
Wetsh dinner. Ile'vo been enjoying of
ills wine n gondlsli bit, I should say,
and I can't wake him up nohow."
"You dou't mean to say he's taken
too much?"
"Well, miss, that dercmls. I don't
think myself, In a general way, a gen
tleman can tako too much; the more tho
cieriler, I says, lint he's pretty Jar
goue, auyhow,"
The maid rushed in to her mistress,
who was silting iu thu dluhig-rouui.
"Oh, ma'am, hero's master como
back In a cab from the Welsh dinner,
nnd the cabman says lie's fast asleep,
and quite liHtlcntedl','
"Nonsense, Maryl" said her mis
tress, nugiily, and ndvanctug into the
hall; "(here must be some mistake."
"No mistake, tiio'm," said tlio cab
man, touching .his hat respectfully;
"l'v.i brought the gent from tho Welsh
dinner, and hero's his card,"
"(jloi)d heavens!" said Mrs. Jones,
recognizing her husband's card, "It Is
ton true. O dear, however shall I sur
vive this shocking disgrace? Mary, go
down stairs: I know I can rely upon yoit
not to say a word ot tills dreadful nils
foituue lo tho other servants."
Maty tetlred accordingly, nud Mrs.
Jones continued:
"Cabman, I must ask yon to assist
Mr. Jones up to his bedroom; it is the
front room on tho first floor; you will
find the gin ready, lighted. I can glvo
you no help; for I think It would kilt
me to seo him in such a condition."
"Lor don't take on so, ma'am," said
tho cabman, good-naturedly: "It nlti't
nothing when you're use to It. Why,
some o' the lii nobs dees It every night.
My nhl horse'll stand as still as a
church, and I'll have tho genelman up"
stairs lu a jiffy."
Poor Mrs. Jones returned Into the
dining-room', holding her handkerchief
to her eyes; nud after a moment's pause
she was made nware, by a sort of scuf
fling in the passago, accompanied by
exclamations of "Wo-hol" "Hold upt"
and other ejaculations of horsey nature,
that tho cabman was assisting Mr.
Joues upstairs. After an Interval of
about ten minutes, which seemed an
age, ho reappeared at tho dlnlng-rooin
door, and said in A confidential man
ner: "I've cot the gentleman , Into bed
quite comfortable, muni. IIu was a
little okard to undress, but 1 douo hliu
at last proper: and lio's sleeping like a
babby."
Mrs. Jones dismissed tho man with a
feu beyond his wildest expectations,
and lesumed her eat, feeling as if her
peace ot mind was forever lost. She
felt that slio could never have tho samo
respect for her husband ngain. Ho,
who had always been a model of all
that was dignified and gentlemanly, a
very pattern husband, to como home
helplessly drunk from a taverii-dliiuer I
It was Incredible; and yet the fact was"
beyond question. Sdrely there must be
coiiin mystery about the matter. Could
lie liu ill? Uut no;-ho had never been
lu better health than when he left her a
few hours previously, aud to send for a
doctor would ouly be to publish his dis
grace. Could his winu havo been drug
ged? Hut surely at a public dinner, at
a lirst-rate place. of entertainment, tills
was equally uut of tlio question. There
seemed no alternatlvo but to supposo
that carried avvay by the excitement of
tile occasion, Mr. Junes had fallen into
one ot those sulden frailties to which
poor human nature, oven that of the
noblest. Is subject. At first tho weep
ing wile had felt as If the offerico was
beyond all pardon;but gradually a soft
er feeling camo over her, and she felt
that, though tho wroug could never bo
forgotten, it might In time bo possible
to forgive it. Aud than she mentally
rehearsed the painful scene which would
lake placo between herself uud her er
ring husband ou his return to conscious
ness and selt-rospect; and she had just
arranged a few little speeches to be
spoken more In sorrow thau ill auger,
when a latcli-koy was heard iu the
door, nnd In walked Mr. Juries himself,
calm and unrufiied, without a hair out
of place, or u cieusc oti his showy shirt
front. Mrs Junes gazed ut him a mo
ment, scarcely believing her own eyes.
" Owen I and eiiber I" she exclaim
ed i then Hung lie'r.-elf Into her arms,
and went into a fit tit decided hysterics.
" My darling wife, whatou earth Is
the matter ?"
' O Owen, I am so thankful, "'said
the' little wite us soon as her sobs would
lei Iter speak I um so thauKful ! Hut
tlieu, who is the man In )inir bed ?"
" The man lu our bed !" sajd Mr.
Joues, whatuver do yod mean ?"
" Oh, Owen dear.you can't tell what
I have gunu through. A cab came halt
an hour auo, and brought you home
Irom the dinner ; at least thu cabman
said it was you, vtry tl)y and fist
asleep, and he hid your card ; ni.d so I
told him to put you 1 mean lo say hlni
-In our muni, and tliern lie is now."
' The devil he U I" said Mr. Joues.
" 1 mu-t h.tiii a look at this double ut
mine ;" aud seizing a caudle, In strode
up stairs. Presently ho agalu entered
the room.
" I think I see how the mlsta'kn hap
pened," said ho. " This fellow up
stairs was at the dinner lo-nlght, and
had more than was good 'or Iilm at
an early period of the evening. He
was rather rudu to me ; hut it was no
Use to bu angry with a man In such a

a cigar with our fi lead Cr I filths, and

his own, and sent him here accordingly.
The only thing that puzzles me is that
you didn't find out the mistake,"
" Well, dear, to tell tho truth, I was
so shocked and horrified that you should
be, as I supposed, In such a condition
that I would not even see you, or let
Mary do so either ; so I sent her down
