The boy rotirod.
Now, Mr. Ilurriot bad a five dollar

altogether satisfied witb himself. Tbt
shoemaker was a poor wan abd needed
his money as soon as earned, lie was
not unadvised to lbs fuct.
"I almost wish I bad sent tbe five
dollars," said Mr. llerriot at length,
half audibly, "lis wants it woras tb.u
I do."
Ilo raostd atill further.
"Tbe fact is" be at length ox
claimed, tuning up, "it't Grant's money

'Did you get the money, Charles?''
said Grant, as bis buy enured tbe shop.
There was ft good deal of earnestness

No, sir' replied the lud.
"Didn't get tbe money ?"'
"No, sir." (
"Wasn't Mr Herlotin?"
"Yes, sir; bulbs said it was not

"Oh, dear, I'm sarrj 1" eame from
the shoemaker, io a depressed voioo.
A woman wus sitting 10 Grant's shop

rolled in the depot, placing myself mi

crowded out aud nhouldercd away by
tbe well dressed and elbowing throng, a
little woman in a faded dress, a well
worn hal, with a face almost painful
in it iulonso but hopeful exprcesion
glueing from window to wiudo. as
tho coaches glided in. She had uot
hoco the strangtr, but a moment altor
she caught his eye, and in another in

hero and there, and running oue of

Oo tbe coutrjry, she looked very plaiu
but someway 1 felt a big lump rise iu
uiy throat as I watched her. Sho was
trying to laugh. God bless bor, bow
completely she failed io tbo attempt,
her mouth got iuto tbut position, but
it never moved al'ler that, save to draw
down at the corners aud quiver,
while she blinks her eyes so fast that

thus she was when the strong man

turned my eyes away a moment, and
