onexpected kindness had sbuiehow brought a lump liito his throat ho was hardly surprised that mr malt by on his way out should hive passed him in silence and given some directions to dick crime contrary to his usual custom ho was not surprised when he went home lo dinner that dick- who always made a point of starting with him should have gone oft in an opposite direction with a muttered reference to an imaginary en gagement it was the sight of u little blomlehaired timckiiitohhed person struggling with a dripping nnibrella at a windy cornerwhich broaght him out of tbe bitter reverie into which he had fullen in a twinkling the umbrella was furled and iu his possession and susy ford was safely ensconced under his own clinging to bis arm and looking up at him laughing you saved me from a watery grave she declared gaily why walter whats the matter to whonv should he go with his troubles if not to her bhe had promised to share them all someday a day in view of his modest salary and her portionless condition presumably far away into whose ears could he more properly pour bis woes r but as be recounted the events of the morning to the eager girl at his side he found himself omitting instinctively that uupleasaut feature mr maltbys sus picion how could he tell her a hundred pounds 1 busy repeated breathlessly oh walter it would be enough she stopped timidly to help us to settle down said wal ter patting it practically 80 it would dear and tbe thought was so cheering that he almost forgot his unhappiuess and chatted comfortably with his little fiancee as they tradged aloug through the rain 1 do hope yojjll discover the thief und get the hundred pounds walter she said half kughiugly as he left her at the door thiuk of the chairs aud carpets it would buy i it yis iho thought of a trnslluiriook she gave in in as hiie said it from hinder her rubber hood that kept him from going quite distracted that dreadful afternoon or so he told himself mr chapin treated bim with unchanged frietidliueds j when he came out of the ofhce once or twice ou some small errand he spoke oheiful word to him aud him with eucouraging tiuduess to dick craues uucoueealed amazement you watchtonight bioous said the manager pleasantly as be started off to supper well let us hope youll get a clue and tbe money f busys very words the jouug man felt a gleam of hope iu spite of himself aud a glow of gratitude toward the manager it was teu oclock that night when the lust belvted customer had dro iped iu the porter had departed and wa ter was left alone- i he turned the gas low aid sat down near the stove the room was growing cold 1 he dropped his head into bis hands and tried to think of bometbingf cheerful of pbige theee cens onl er mr chapin contiiihod but flatteij myself that i know air hohesttnai when i see one the sight of the young roans euiot touched him- he took off his glasses an rnbbea hte band across bis eyes look here brooks in a mattej6f fadtapd tone were making two idiots of ourselves and all about nothing wheres the good in having friends if they dont stand by you get on your hat and go home and dont lie awake worrying about this business either it will come out straight enough mark my words 1 i oil im all right im going directly and before walter cod id utter a word of all that was in his heart he wae hustled into bis overcoat in a friendly way and into the street the rain bad ceased the sky was clear and the moon was coming up walter stood for a moment hesitatingly- and then turned up the etreetiiot in th direction of home for be felt strangely un easy j after all ho was deserting his postt should be not have restated the managers kind persuasions and remained it was this feeling an unreasonable one be told himself which caused him when he turn ed bak at last to ignore the short cut he might have taken and retrace bis steps he could take ia look at the shop in passing and satisfy hiniself that all was right 1 his thoughts as he walked briskly along were full of the strange events of the day he almost ran into a late pedestrian or two in his absorption he wa brought to himself by the know ledge that his rapid walls had drought him in front of the shop and that a dim light was burning there he pulled out his watch in bewilderment and consulted it by the light of the moon it was a quarter to twelve no it could not be mr chapin he must have gone longkgo he felt his heart beating fast and his colour forsaking lira as he laid a noiseless hand on the door and pushed gently it was not fastened it opened silently and he stepped in a tall form startiugly spectral and al most indistinguishable in- the faint light was bending over a plateglass case at the end of the room and walter baw the gleam of gold as the dainty rings and pins susv of mr chupius kindness and svm winning the patby of the pobibility of hundied pounds a footstep whioh had been coming down tbe street stopped just opposite the door a key grated iu the lock walter rose to his feet with startledhaste took a btep forward and ran almost into tbe arms of mr ch pin himself did i frighten jou said the man ager rubbiug his feet on the mat patting the young mans shoulder arid laoghing well no wonder how diflmal you are to be buret he added in ja jplly way glancing aronnd the shaowy room i was feeling rather blue walter responded he could have embraced his4- companion in his sudden relief bat how how do i come to be here said chapin more seriously well ill be frank with you brooks if i had come accordiug to the plan proposed by mr maltby this morning i should have come in quietly at the back door taken np my 1 stand behind that group of btatuary and kept a very sharp watch on yemi proceed ings there there jyea the young man turneda horrified face uptn hm re member that was his plan nst mine you can judge of my faith in it f 1 om tbe way i it contained were removedf rom thejr satin- lined cases he watched motionless breathlessly

softly and he lifted his hand to hutton his coat with a strangely familiar motion whioh caused the young mans heart to stand still he caught his breath with a gasp- he clutched the door weakly it was with a great effort that he kept back a cry of con sternation the face turned calmly toward bim was the mild complacent bespectacled count enance of the manager yalter6 senses seemed deserting him he stood gazing at the apparition from his shadowy corner with only a half appre- i elation of all it meant his faculties seem ed benumbed perhaps it was the flood of wrathful in dignation which swept over him at the thought of the dupe he had been perhaps it jvasthe thought of susy and thehundred pounds which roused him to the realization thai something must be done however that may be tbe manager coming slowly toward tbe door with a placid musing expression found himself seized in a pair of strong yonng arms and j whirled through the open door of the intifr office heardthe bolt slipped sharply and f sqjdto himbelf after a period jof deeply unpleasant meditation that he had rather overdone the benevolent business it was not- without an effort that mr maltby sitting in that same office a few days later despatched the porter with a summons for his senior clerk he did not find it easy to own himself to have been so amazingly in tbe wrong as the late events had proved him to be he found it so distasteful in fact that hie simplified matters by omitting all em barrassing details as mr chapin will not resume his c uties mr brooks he said with rather a grim smile 1 have concluded to offer yon his vacant position youre young to be sore but ill try you yea yes thatll do as walter at temp tedto speak and by the way j believe the reward i offered goes to you 1 j tyl of whioh gratifying as

fell on his youngest child prances outwardly her childhood was one long summer day but underneath this j smooth surface thre ran a current of ubresi a desire to possess the peace that paaseth all understanding these unsatisfying thoughts were ofien called forth by asermojlabool or more frequently by a lovely sunset a gentle breeze swaying the boughs id- the forest or even a delicate violet peeping through the shadowmottled grass the one great sorrow of het life jwas the loss of her mother when only eleven years of agei into the darkened chamber of death she crept many times during those sad lays drawing aside the curt rins she raiiled tears and kisses upon the dar cold face half expecting to see the iovjely eyes open and smile upon her or the pile cheek grc w warm under the caresses lavished in it it was not until she saw the al procession wind slowly out of the rectory gate and turn into the churchyard that she realized that she was indeed mo therless oh mamma mamma i mam ma i

jfebruaijy after she hod completed her fifteenth yet r that she found that blessed rest for which she had been striving i so great was her passion for unselfish ness that her sweet sabbaths of rest
