While lie still had a little money left
lie would (?o to London, and there, as
a literary man at anyone's disposal,
face the. BtniRule for existence.
No fieeU to make known his Inten
tion to the old friends. His departure
should be explained us a temporary
removal to London for purposes of
study. In a month or so lie could
write that circumstances obliged him
to stay. In town for an indefinite period:
his library should bo sent up as If for
use but really for sale; und the house
there would be no difficulty In lettlnK
for some fifty pounds a year just
enough. If the worst ranie to the worst,
to nave him from destitution. Of course,
he must break the habits and the con
nections of a lifetime; unless he -were
so fortunate as to establish himself in
n. decent literary career, of which he
had painfully littlf! hope. The prob
ttbillty waa that he would come to be
thankful for hack work at the British
museum, such ns he himself had ooe.a
plouully employed a poor devil to do
ere yet the day of evil dawned on his
life. , :
Tho resolve taken, ho hnr? up man
fully. Alt he had to do before actual
ly lcavlni? tho town was to ro through
his papers, destroying; and packing:
and meanwhile to wear the accus
tomed fare. Xot a soul suspected him.
le even took the chair at the annual
meeting of the literary society, and
made a speech which was considered
brilliant. Not the faintest hint that
he miylit he obliged to sever his con
nection -with this and other local or
ganizations. Two days later "our
learned fellow townsman" was report
ed as usual In the borough press, with
wonted encomium: and Marfleet
smiled dolefully as he glunced at the
familiar column.
He knew the day of Miss Cloud's
return; the day before would see his
departure. To meet her, and onswer
questions about his historical essay,
was a humiliation he could not endure?.
Doubtless she had mentioned the mat
ter to other people, and this disaster
alone would have been nil but sutllcient
to drive him Into exile. How foolish
to have spoken of his attempt! Hut it
was all one now. On the last day he
nat hour after hour in his study, totally
unoccupied, his mind a miserable
blank: he sat till late at night, and
on going to bed had but snatches of
unrefreshlng sleep. Karly next morn

the townsfolk were about, a cab con

Hefore, mid-day he arrived In London,
nd went first of all to a hotel where
he was known: but before nightfall, he
had searched for and settled upon a
lodging; modest, as befitted his humble
prospects. The address, however, was
not suoh as would excite surprise when
communicated to his friends.
Oddly, enough, the next day brought
him an access of cheerf ul.even sanguine
spirits : Though late in December, the
weather was remarkably bright; he
walked" about. the streets with a revival
of bodily vigor, and saw his position
from Quite a changed point of view.
After all.1 was not this supposed calami
ty the very best thing that could have
befallen him? Down yonder he was
merely r-tistlng,- sinking Into premature
old age; here, "in streaming London's
central oar." his energies would rise
to theidemnnd upon them. Pooh! as

complacent tone, and spoke for the
most part as if all were well with him.
The second week saw him meditative,
and inclined to solitude which he had
so little difficulty in securing.. He now
reproved himself for having struck a
false note with the-geninl friends; it
would be doubly-hard to ask their ad
vice or assistance. The weather. too.
had turned to normal wretchedness, and
his rooms were cold, dark, depressing.
He began to. suffer from Indigestion,
the natural result of his landlady s
meals. Then a bilious headache and a
severe catarrh simultaneously seized
upon him; he could not go out, and just
as little could think of inviting anyone
to come and see hlin in his dreary ilur-
nce. .
Recovered from these trnnsltory ills.
he saw the solid, features of his situa
tion In a gloomier light than ever It
was folly to postpone the decisive step;
he must dismiss his servants, sell his
library, let the dear old home as soon
as possible. He tried to write the
fateful letter, but his hand dropped.
There came a moment when, as he sat
by the alien fireside, bitter thoughts
were too much for him. and his eyes
filled with despairing (ears.
Percy Martleet lived thus for a
month. Day by day home-sickness ate
Into his heart: day by dny the great,
roaring, fog-choked city crushed his
soul and became unutterably hateful.
In imagination he visited the beloved
house, sat in his library, walked about
his garden; heard the voices of com
panionable men and women, above all,
the voice of Kvellne Cloud: took the
chair ut the Library institute, listened
to friendly proposals that he should
stand for this or that ward at the next
municipal elections. What a Christmas
he had passed! And how delightful It
always was, the Christinas of old times!
And so It came to pass that, on a day,
he found himself at the railway station;
In one hand a traveling-bag, clasped In
the other a ticket for his native town.
Why he was going back, he knew not:
enough that he was booked and would
see his home again this very night.
He reached it at SI o clock. He rang
a merry peal at the front door, and,
when the door opened, had much ado
not to embrace his honest, smiling
housekeeper.
'No. no, Mrs. Robinson: it s all right.
I didn't send notice had to come? un

he drank a great deal of bottled whis
key. And there he sat until long ufter
midnight, singing to himself snatches
of old songs.
The next morning It was frostv and
bright he went forth, walked through
the town, greeted cheerily such, friends

houses; from the highway beyond he
struck Into, a field-path, and by way of
a great' semicircle drew towards the
point he had in mind, which he might
have reached In a quarter of the time
by starting on another route. He- was
going to a cnll upon Miss Cloud. with
what purpose hij did not. try to make
clear to himself; he meant to see Eve
line; that was the immedtute necessity
of a life which had lost all conscious
self-direction. '" ' - - -
Mr. Cloud's residence, built but a few
years ago, stood among a young plan
tation, and at this time of the year had
a chilly espect. As he walked up the
shrub-vined drive, Marfleet felt a
misgiving, and when his hand waa on
the bell he asked himself abruptly why
he had come; but the speedy opening
of the door gave him no time to answer
the question. Miss Cloud, as he knew,
was at present living alone, unless there
happened to be some female relative in
the house,, for her father had gone to
London again after the parliamentary
recess. As a matter of course, he was
straightway led to the drawing-room,
and in a moment Eveline joined him.
"How delightful, Mr. Marfleet!-! was
just wishing I could see- you, but had
no Idea you were back again. Will you
come into the library? There's a bit of
crabbed old law-Latin I can't under
stand at all"
Kor some time Eveline had been mnlf .
Ing a study of the antiquities of the
town, and In her last conversation with
Marileet she had laughingly suggested
that they should collaborate on a local
history. By good luck (he trembled
witu apprehension) the man of learn
ing was able to solve this present diffi
culty, and the feat exhilarated him:
his countenance became that of one
who had not a care in the world.
"You have been a long time In I.nn
don," said Eveline, with one of her shy
glances. Alone with Marflett. she al
ways looked rather shy, however spirit
ed her talk. -
"Yes a month or so. And I think I
must go back again. In fact. Miss
cioud, i nave all but made up my mind
to live there altogether."
' The announcement startled her so
much that she looked at him in silence
looked at him Tor a moment fixedly.
Marfleet was swaying on his feet and
twisting his hands together behind
mm; ne talked on with nervous rapidi
ty and vigor: - -
"The truth is, I'm not getting on so
well witn my work as I ought to be.
For a long time it's a shameful con
fession I have been shockingly idle.
Do you think our climate Is just a trifle
relaxing? I'm afraid I must take a
decided step; really, I m afraid I must.
After all, London is the place for work;
don't you think so? In the country one
has bo many temptations to indolence.
I mean"
He grew contused and began to swat
low hit words. .
i
.'I can quite understand." said Eve
line, in a low voice, as she stood before
him with head bent, "that you feel the
need of of more Intellectual society.
You must find us very dull."
"Xo, no, no!" he exclaimed, in agita
tion. "I meant nothing of the kind.
The society ia delightful. ' I was. think
ing of the the libraries and that kind
of thing the general atmosphere of"
"I quite understand." Eveline was
eager to justify him. "For a serious
student the advantages of London are
very great. Of course, I am very sorry,
but"
A crisis of nervous torture drove the
man to plain speech.
"Miss Cloud, -the matter Is more seri
ous than you could suspect You re
member the paper I wrote for the re
view? It was rejected."
The word seemed to echo from every
surface of the room. Eveline stood
motionless, and durst not raise her
eyes.
"You can Imagine how that affected
me," he rushed on. with hot cheeks. "It
made me aware of my culpable folly.
Miss Cloud, you say that 1 must feel
the sm-let y of your own town dull. Oh, If
you will believe me, how gladly I would
live here for the rest of my days! This
Is my home; 1 love it. London will
always be a miserable exile. If you
knew how I felt last night on coming
buck! If I could but stay here, and
lead the same, quiet, happy life"
His voice grew thick and he had to
pause. Eveline looked at him with gen
tle surprise and her breath came quick
as she spoke:
"You feel It a duty to use your great
gifts"
' I win tell you the whole wretcnea
truth. I cannot Htay here. . I have been
living like a simpleton spending twice
my income. I must go to London to
earn a living. There, now, that is what
I came this morning to tell you."
And he laughed as if it were an ex
cellent joke. - "
"Mr. Marfleet "
Even on those lips his name had never
sounded so pleasantly. He gazed at her
and waited
"Don't you think." she proceeded.wlth

and the people lie cares for? We are
so much in want of a higher type of
mind"
"Ah, if It were possible! I regret
bitterly that I did not enter Into the life
of the town In earnest, years and years
ago."
Eveline's smile came from Its lurk
ing place, and made sunny all her sweet
countenance.
'You would have been mayor by now.
And think how much better for all of
us!"
"I would give years of my life." ex-
clnltncr Marfleet, "If that could be!"
"Is it really impossible?"
Their eyes met. Eveline, sister to the
rose, trembled as If on the verge of
happy laughter. Marfleet, his face radi
ant, yet ashamed, tried vainly to speak.

asked softly.
Not a soul but you."
She did not laugh, but again seemed
scarce able to help It. Martinet's hand
stole forth, and was met half-way.

Tom Kogers, a firer in the Radnor
Militia, who had been in the service for
over fifty years, was a well-known per
former In the King's service during the
later quarter of the eighteenth century.
He wus engaged in many musical com
petitions with the flfers of other regi
ments than that which he belonged to,
and it is recorded that he was always
successful in gaining the prize. He is
said to have been in his time unrivalled.
The poor fellow at his discharge ob
tained the Chelsea pension, which
means that he had served till he was
invalided. He was Journeying towards
his native hills, and within sight of his
birthplace (Prestelgn) when he per
ished in the mow; and most extraordi
nary, this was not his first time to dK
Some time previous, while on an active
duty, he scraped together a few shill
ings, and in order to do so he nearly
starved himself. He fell sick, and his
life Was despaired of. The surgeon In
formed an officer, who was also a
Welshman, who is said to be a most
generous hearted officer, that 'Poor
Roger was dying." The nurse went
further, and told him that "Tom was
dead." The kind officer again went to
see him, and to have a last glance at
what he termed the honest piper He
thought It possible that the thread of
life might yet be spliced, and forced
some brandy down Ills throat out of his
own bottle. Roger recovered and lived
to thank his kind benefactor. "Sod
bless your honour," said he, "and I
hope if ever I die again it will be by
your Honour's Hide, and that you will
not let me be buried without trying
another drop of your good brandy."
Strange to say, this officer after somo
years left the regiment, and went to re
side at Presteisn.and was, accidentally,
one of the first epectators of poor Tom
Roger's fate, but life was now com
pletely extinguished, and every effort
to restore It was ineffective. He was
buried at Prestelgn graveyard in the
year 1801.

as the abode of thieves, thugs and mur

with . Blmllar quarters of other great

due to the celebrated Five Points Mis

One of the greatest works of the mis

Tortunately, the curate forgot what he

In speaking of this matter not long
ago, the Rev. J. H. Beale. financial
agent of the Five Points Mission, said:
"A remedy largely used among the
people connected with our mission is
Warner's Safe Cure, and I am able to
state that they have received grt
benefit from it and are ready to testify
thereto."
Mrs. N. Elliott, a visitor of the mis
sion, expresses a similar opinion. She
says: "After using Warner's Safe
Cure among our mission people for sev

duty to endorse it as a safe and sure
cure for liver and kidney and female
complaints. . ;'One very severe case
