She always gots over me like that; and after smok- ing insillence for balf an hour, 1 was lying back, with my eyes closed dropping off to sleep, when the wife said (What bas gone beforel hadn't heard) * Yes, he's asleep now." Thatwoke me up of course and if I didn't lie there shamming and heard ai ali they said in a whisper! Hoy J me you to make him more vexed than he was, Luke ?" says the wifo; and he told her. 'I couldn't do it, said excitedly, "I was lLeart- breaking. Bhe'sliving in a wretch- ed room there with her danghtor ; and, mother, when I saw her I folt as if--there, I can't tell you.' Go on, Luke, she said ' Thoy're balf starved," he said ina husky way. 'Oh mother ! it's hor- vible, Such a sweet beautiful girl, and the poor woman herself dying almost with some terrible disease.' The wife sighed mother," he 'They told me,' he went on, 'how hard they had tried to live by ordin- ary needlework, and failed, and that as a last resource they bad tryed to get the machine.' ¢ Poor things!" says the wife; 'but are you sure the mother was a lady ? fA clergyman's widow,' Luke hastily : 'there isn't a doubt about it. Poor girl! apd they've sot to learn to uso it before it will be of any use, 'Poor girl, Tike? saysthe wife softly ; and I saw thaough my eye- lashes that she laid a hand upon his arm, and was looking curiously at him, when if he didn't cover face with his hands, rest his elbows on the table, and give alow groan! Then the old woman got up, stood behind his chair, and began playing says his with and caressing his hair like the foolisn old mother would. ¢ Mother,' he says saddenly, © will you go and seo them ?' She didn't answer for a minute, only stood looking down at him, and then said softly-- ¢ They payed you the first monoy? D.

'Then that money you paid was yours Luke ?* ' Yes, mother," he says simply ; and those two stopped one lookingiat the other, till the wife bent down and kissed him, holding his head afterwards, for a few moments, be- tween her hands ; for she always did worship that chap, our only one: and then I closed my eyes tight, and went on breathing heavy and thinking. For somotime like a now revgla- | § tion bad come upon me. I knew Luke was five-and.twenty, and that I was fifty-four, but lie always scem- ed like a boy to me, and here I was waking up to the fact that he was a grown man, and that he was thinking and feeling as I first thought and felt whem: saw his mother, nigh upon eight-and twenty years ago. I lay back, thinking and tolling myse'f 1 was very savage with him for deceiving me, and that I wouldn't havo him and his mother plotting together against me, and that I wonldn't stand by and see him make a fool of himself with the first pretty girl he set eyes on, when he might marry Maria Turner, the engincer's daughter, and have a nice bit of money with her, to put into the business, and then be my part- ner. ¢ No,' I says; 'if you plot together I'll plot all alone," and then I pre- tended | to wake up, took no notice, and had my supper. I kept rather gruff the next morn- ing, and made myself very busy about the place, and I dare say I spoke more sharply than usual, but the wife and Luke were as quiet as could bo ; and about twelve I went out, with alittle oil-can and two or threo tools in my pocket. . It was not far to Bennett's Placo/ and on getting to the right Ilouse I asked for Mrs. Murray, and was directed to the second floor, where, as I reached the door, I could hear the clicking of my sewing machine, and whoever was there was so busy over it that sho did not hear me knock ; so I opened the door softly, and looked in upon as sad a scene 'I hadn't as I shall ever, I dare say see. T here in the bare room sat,asleep in her chair, the widow lady who came about the machine, and I could see that in ber face Which told plainly enough that the pain and suffering she must have been going through for y ears would soop be over; and, situated as she was; it gave me a kind of turn. «It's no basiness of yours,' I said to myself roughly ; 'and I turned then to look at who it was bending over my machine. 1 could see no face, only a slight figure in gusty blagk ; and a pair of busy wile hand#'were trying very hard to govern the thing, and to learn how to use it well. «So that's the girl, sit? I said to myself. 'Ah! Luke, my boy, you've got to the silly calf age, and 1 dare say--"' I got no father, for at that mom- ent the girl started, and turned round, and turned upon me a timid, wondering face, that made my heart. give a queer throb, and I couldn't take my eyes of her. « Hush I" she said softly, holding up her hand; and I saw it was as thin and transparent as if she had been ill. ¢ My name's Smith,' Tsaid, taking out a screw-driver. 'My machine: how does it go ? Thought I'd come and sco.' Hor face lit up in & moment, and she came forward eagerly. I'm so glad you've come,' said, ¢ T can't quite manage this.' She pointed to the thread regula tor, and the next moment T was showing her that it tvas too tight, and somehow, in a gentle timid way, the witch quite got over me, and I stopped there two hours helping her, till hor eyes sparkled with delight; as she found out how easy sheconld now make the needle dart in and out of hard material. + Do you think you can do it now? 1 said, «Oh, yes, I think so; I am so glad you came,' «So am 1, says I grufly ; ¢ it will mako it all the easier for you to earn the money, and pay for it.' ¢ And T will work sodard,' sald earnostly. That you will, my dear, I savs in spite of myself, for I felt sure it wasn't me speak-- she she » ing, but something "in me. 'She been' 111 long 7° 1 éaid, nodding towards her mother, + Months," she said, with the tears starting in her pretty eyes; 'but, she added brightly I shall have enough with this to Fig) good medicens and things she can and as I looked at ber, something in' ne said-- 'God bless you, my dear! I hope you will * and the next minute I was going downstairs, calling myself a fool. They thought I didn't know at home, wb 1 did; there was the wife going over and over again to Bennett's I'lace ; and all sorts' of little nice things were made and taken I often used to see them talking about, Pe o 1 took | no notice ; but that artful scoun- i 40 # after going to fetch it from the widow's. And all the time] told myself I dido't like it, for I could see that Luke was changed, and always thinking of that girl--a girl not half good enough for him, I remembered being poor myself and T hated poverty, and I used to speak harshly to Luke and the wife and feel very bitter, At last there came an afternoon when I knew there' was something wrong. -- The wife had gone out directly after dinner saying she wag going to see a sick womap-- Iknew who it was, bless you !--and Luke was fidgeting about, not himself; and at last he took his hat and went out, They might have confided in me, I said bitterly, but all the time I knew I wouldn't let them, They'll be spending money--throwing it away. I know they've spent pounds on them already,' At last I got insuch a way that] called down our foreman, left him in charge and took my hat and went after them. Everything was quiet in Bennelt's Place, for a couple of dirty dejected-looking wo-- men, one of whom was in arrears to we had sent the children that played in the court right away because of the noise, and were keeping guard so that they should not come back, I went up stairs softly, andall was very still, only as I got nearer to the room I could hear a bitter wailing cry, and then I opened the door gently and went in, Luke was there, standing with his head bent by the sewing machine ; the wife sat in a chair, and on her knees, with her face buried in the wife's lap, was the poor girl crying as if her little heart would break ; while on the bed, with all the look of 'paia gone out of her face, lay the widow~=gone to meet her husband where pain and sorrow are no more, I couldn't see very plainly, for there was a mist like before my eyes; but I know Luke flushed up as he took a step forward, as if to scket™ | protect the girl, and the wife looked at me ina frightened way, But there was no need, for something that wasn't me spoke, and that in a very gentle way, as I stepped forward, raised the girl up and kissed her pretty face before laying her little helpless head upon my shoulder, and smoothing her soft brown hair, ¢ Mother," says that something from within me, 'I think there is room in the nest at home for this poor, forsaken little bird, -- Luke, my boy, will you go and fetch a cab? Mother will see to what wants deing here.' My boy gave a sob as he caught my hand in his, and the next moment he did what he had not done for years--kissed me on the cheek--before running out of the room,leave ing me with my darling nestling in my | breast. I said 'my darling,' for she has 'been the { sunshine of our chome ever since--n pale, | wintry sunshine while the sorrow was fresh, but spring und summer now. Why, bless her! look at her.

The sum realized was eon | fiscated except the trifling surplus over and {above the landlord's claim which was ten dered to the widow, but was by her indig= nantly refused. The seizure and sale were made without previous notice, although the law provides that six days' notice must he given Mrs. Walsh carried her case to the Court, and a jury found a verdict agaiust the landlord for $230 nd $1,700 for trespass.
