"And why to-day of all others? what queer

fanciful boy?" inquired Lucy, interested in spite
of herself by his earnest manner.
" It is no fancy," be replied with a mournful
shake of the head. " I have done with poetical
dreamings for many a long year to come; the
stern iealities of life are about to begin for me.
Lucy, I am here to bid you farewell "

with an impatient toss of the head; "you are
going to London for a week or two, and you have
come to make a scene about a fortnight's ab

cured the better; it is really too childish."
" You are unjust and unkind," returned the
boy with sparkling eyes; "and I am a fool to ears
for you as I do, and give yon the power to wound
me thus,"—he paused, drew his hand across his
brow, and then continued in a calmer tone:
" Lucy, forgive my impetuosity. It is not your

With the mosey thus obtained, Philip Wylde
took apartments in Paris, where for a time his
lavish expenditure, and Lucy's beauty, pied
them an istrodoetioa into a certain class of the
Parisian beau mode. No income, however, seuld
long stand snob continued inroads, and when
his father's death transferred the family estates

Wylde and his wife disappeared from th e face of
society. But although there seemed s epecies of
retributive justice in the fate which visited his
excesses upon the head of the spendthrift, For
tune dealt no less harshly with one, whose career
had in point of rectitude adequately fulfilled its
early promise. Frederic Osborne, soon after his
arrival in Canada, tad been pissed in a position
in which, though the duties were onerous, the
emoluments were eoasiderable. Having for
some years discharged these duties to the satiable
tion of his employer, he was induced to invest
his savings in a bank at Montreal, is which be
booms a partner. For a short time affairs,
seemed to progress favorably, when suddenly his
colleague decamped, taking with him a considera
,
ble sum of mosey. As a necessary oonsequenos
the bank failed, and Osborne became a ruined
man, whilst from the impossibility of proving
that he had not been cogtosaat of his partner's
intended defalcations, a slur was cast upon his
integrity, which, to one of his proud and sensitive.
nature was unbearable, and; quitting Canada, lie
returned to Rucland, iroken'alike in
_spirits and
in fortune. His first act was to visit Mr. Digby,
and convince him that the reports circulated to
his disadvantage were gonadiess; in this be was
successful, and through his influence obtained a
situation in a large basking concern in the
city.
At the time at which we resume our story,
Osborne had been in this position about a year,
when one morning, as he was seated at his desk,
his friend and ?atoll the Rev. Mr. Digby,
entered hurriedly, and begged to see the sanag
in partner, to whom he was admitted without
delay. In about a quarter of an hour Osborne
received a summons to his employer's private
room.
" I have sent for you, Mr. Osborne," began
Mr. C., "because my esteemed friend Mr. Dig.
informs me that you have considerable experience
in beaking matters, and are well acquainted with
the state of money affair! in Canada, while at
the same time he speaks most highly of your
trustworthiness and ability." Osborne bowed,
as Mr. C. continued, "I have therefore deter
mined to consult you on a point of seriatim, I
may almost say of vital importance "
He then proceeded to explain to Osborne that
Mr. Rigby, the banker at B—, with whose
firm they had extensive dealings, had reason to
fear that in consequence of a report of his in
solvency, a run would be made upon his bank on
the following day, which, unless he received
immediate assistanecy he would be unable to
meet. That to preserve his credit he should
require 4:30,000, as security for which be offered
bilis of a much larger amount upon two firms in
Canada.
" Now," continued lir. C., "putting friendly
feeling out of the quation, Mr. Digby's failure,
besides entailing pp' us considerable less,
would cause a pressure upon icveral other country
banks with which we are connected, the effeatu

Osborne glanced at the papers ,

Hubei' the sum if I bad it," was his unhesitating
reply.
"Then you would advise our making Mrs.
Digby for advauce he requires !' resumed
Mr. C.
" Uoquestionably," aotwered Osborne
There was a pause : then Mr. C , looking
hard at Osborne, continued, "If se make this
loan there is not a moment to lose; Mr. Digby
mast have the money to-night, in feet before
night-fall, for, infested with footpads u the roads
aro at present, it would be madness to travel
with such a sum of money after dark. B—

sixty miles from town: it is now past eleven
o'clock, and it will be dark at six; the gold and
notes have to be counted; my partner is abroad,
so that by no posiibility an I leave London.
The service is one of risk, aid requires a person
of strict integrity, sad at the same time energetie,
courageous, and eantioas in the extreme. W bore,
at a moment's notion, am I to Bud such a man?"
Reader, these diliaalties were greater than
may at Brat sight appear. We treat of the
good old times, :best the power of steam was
chiefly displayed in surreptitiously blowing off
the lids of tea kettles, as a trial to the nerves of
feebleminded old ladies: and locomotives oonvey
ing the population of a whole country parish at
the rate ef fifty miles per hour, were luxuries
of which the very fastest man of those days
never dreamed—but by way of oompotaaation,
the romantic Taos of highwaymen, although
rapidly decreasing, wee by so means extinct,
while the more oonsaosidass fraternity of foot
pads fourisbed is its fullest vigor, aid robberies
were frequent as Mulberries by the wayside.
" There is bat one reason why I have not
Brady volastemed to perform the mercies you
require, sir," bows Osborne. "Tea know,"
his votes trembled with emotion, "or perhaps
you do noi know," he continued, as- obaseious
rectitude restored hie self-possession, "that, ow
ing to the miseoadase of another, a slur most
undeserved, bat still &slur, has beau owe oast
epos my integrity: if, aware of this; you still
desire me to eadertake Lae expedition, I shall
be ready so Mart inatautly."
With a degree of goatisamaly kiadasse that
went to the young imam's heart, his employer
rose, and shaking his warmly, by the band,
told Wm Mr. I)sgby bad long sines explained
the matter be alluded to, and assured' him of
his entire envision of his insomnia, and his
perfect milieus upon his probity.
Is leas than half as hour, Osborne was at
the ormish-olise, a brass of pistols soesealed
within the bream of his great seat, sad £30,000

"Coe he ain't dons nothing to &serve it yet,"
was the agreeably suggestive reply, sad, turning
away, the °Geer left Osborne to meditate on the
information be bad received.
Thirty-five miles of their journey were per
formed without let or hindrance, but, as for the
fourth time they were changing horses, it began
to snow heavily. The "foreignetring chap" I
had artfully esaesvored to elicit from Osborne
the object of his journey, but had found himself
foiled by Frederie'e quiet self-poesession As
they prosesded, the snow-storm increased, until
at length the broad flakes dashed in their faces
with such violence, that - the ooachman confessed
he,oonld no longer see the road; and he had
pearoely uttered the worts, when, with a bound,
I crash, and a heavy fa4l, the coach was over
turned. Osborne, who being flung into a snow•
drift, was fortunately unhurt, drew the coachman
kale, and confiding to him the importance of
his mission, induced him, by the eloquence of a
guinea, to permit him to ride one of the horses
to the nearest town, promising to send back men
to his assistance the moment he arrived; then,
strapping the important valise across his should
ers he mounted, and, after about half an hour's
bard riding, had the satisfaction of reaching the
little town of Cloverlee. The storm bad, in a
great measure, abated, and, by dint of liberal
fees, Osborna persuaded the landlord to furnish
him with a strong fast-trotting horse and a light
gig: but owing to the demand made upon the
establishment by the stage coach accident, he
was unable to engage a man to accompany him.
As he drove out of the inn yard, he peroeived
several of the rescued passengers appruachiug,
among the foremost of whom he recognised the
Here of the pseudo foreigner. Congratulating
himself on having got rid of so undesirable a
euspanion, Osborne now devoted all his energies
to the accomplishment of his mission, the main
difikulies of which, be felt, were still to come
It was by this time past four, and the daylight
already decreasing; true he had only fifteen miles
further to go, bat, owing to the snow which bad
fallen, the road was heavy, and in the course of
his drive there were two steep hills to ascend,
- 'des a wild bleak common to cross, where it
would requite daylight to discern the beaten
track, yet, anxious as he was to get on, it would
not do to distress the horse at starting, lest he
should break down before reaching B—.
By urging the animal to the utmost limits of
which prudence would admit, Osborne reached
the Common while there was yet light enough
left to enable him 1,0 keep in the right track :
when be had arrived at about the centre of it, he
perceived a horsmankrossing the heath at speed,
and he could not divest himself of the idea that
the rider's figure resembled that of his evil genius,
the persevering foreigner.
With a presentiment that- this apparition bod
ed him no good, the young man drove on rapidly,
until a steep ascent obliged him to relax his
speed. When he bad proceeded about half-way
up the bill, he descried a figure crouching under
the hedge, which, as he approached, rose, and
came towards him, while at the same moment,
the soft voice of a woman beaought him, in
' sonata of the scat piteous entreaty, to allow
her to accompany him as far as B—. Hastily
replacing a pistol which he had drawn ere he
became aware of the sex of the person interrupt
ing him, he turned with the intention of refusing
her request, but as be did so, the mute despair
of her attitude struck him so forcibly, that in
voluntarily be drew' up, and inquired, if she, or
a child she carried in her arms, were ill. "My
poor child is, I fear, perishing from exposure to
the cold," she replied; "but oh, Sir, if you
would save a broken-hearted creature from worse
than death, if you hope that God will help you
in your utmost need, help me now in mine."
As she spoke, a tone in her voice, a gesture of
her band, awakened memories that had long lain
dormant in his breast, crashed down by the strcng
power of his will. He hesitated: her weight,
and that of the child would tell upon the horse,
which, from din opeed at which be bad driven it,
already ,began to ovum symptoms of fatigue; he
had still five miles to perform, and it was now so
dark, that objeota a few yards off, could sbarcely
be distinguished. Had the suppliant been of the
sterner sex, he would have left him to fare as
best be might, but a woman and a child—eome
wbst would of it, he could not desert them. "Get
up." he said, stretching out his band to assist
her; "God is himself too merciful to allow me
to bring down upon my head, my own ruin, and
the ruin of others, by performing an act of
mercy "
As soon as she was io, be drove on. In a few
simple, touching words, she poured forth her
gratitude, and told her story. Her father—an
old mln—was dying—she had offended and in
jured be died without forgiving her, she
could never know an instant's peaoe. Strange'
what was it in that voice which so affected
Osborne? He turned to look upon her features,
but the increasing darkness, and,the garments
in which she was muffled, rendered it impossible
for him to discern them.
*
Ha what is that ? Some dark object moving.
Two men spring out, seize the horse's bridle,
and check it so suddealy, as to throw it on its
haanehes a third leaps up behind the gig, and
pinioning Osborae's arms, prevents him from
using his weapons; while a fourth, holding a
braes of loaded pistols to his heed, demands his
mosey. A moment's silence, then, true to her
woman's nature, anxiety for the life of her
benefactor, overcomes her persooal fear, and
pushing aside the muzzles of the pistols, the
stranger interposes her fragile form between him
and the instruments of death, while at the same
moment she utters a piercing scream. As' she
does so, one of the men leaves the horse's bead,
exclaiming with an imprecation : "We are
wrong sow;" then he converses in a low tone
