The chill,' dark "December "afternoon was waning into a bleak, cold and wintry eventide, with dull streaks of pale, vari-shaded crimson in the wake of "the "sunset, and a wind that blew most pitilessly about the tall build ings of the metropolis and adown the crowded streets, cutting .with the keen edge of its sharp asperity to the very heart alike of man and beast, and driving" before it 'the light flurries of fleecy snow flakes that kept falling from the cloudy recesses of the sky above. Whistling in its breezy: paiety, and in the frolicsome spirits of its winter freedom, the old and ever hois terous north-easter made merry with staid and sober pedestrians on the slippery pavement, now 'tossing off felt hats and gaily decorated bonnets from their heads of their unsuspecting own- ers, and laughing in unchecked glee as it hied away in mocking merriment to the secure retreats afforded by the al ley-ways and eross lanes behind the lofty stores and offices of the thriving city. Indeed the spirits of the 'yule tide had been seemingly let loose from their prison dungeons and had come down to earth in all the strength of their giddy recklessness on the wings of the winter blast, and taken the toswn by storm, regardless of c rights or constitutional etiquette: Did not the principles of Canadian freedom and 'the vim: of a western climate per- mit such freaks of nature at the ad- vent of the winter solstice ? William Jonnathan Bridshaw sat in his large and gloomy woilice over the first floor of a commod misly arranyed and ornately architectural stone edifice o'er looking to the main thoroughiure of public transit, and gazed vacantly out upon the medley scene on the other side of the street. From his window he could seé by the brilliant glare of an electric light suspended over the main entrance of Pearson Brothers opposite, the great multibudes of the city's pop- ulate hurrying by and on into the glodming, with coats and jackets but toned tight as prétection against the biting blast, and carrying bundles of all "sizes and descriptions, the pur- chases. of the early Christmas shop- ihg. People apparently in all the vari- ous walks of life--the rich and wealthy, elegantly clad in the warm vlothing of the latest and most fash jonable tailoring and design, and rid ifig by in carriages drawn by gaily harnessed and spirited steeds; the pro- fessional, from business duties hurry- ing again to the warm fieeside of home; the youth, the aged, the abject ly poor, and little childhood, gleeful and happy in the presence of wmter and the near approach of the glad some Yule Tide--all passed beneath his vision as he sat in his comfortable office chair and considered the great tide of humanity surging, rushing, hurrying by before: him and on into the despenitg twilight, like a ces stream ever flowing onward, to com mingle its waters with the vast ocean of 'eternity. Yet in all that multitude, with the exception of here and there ah occasional business acquaintance whose facé was brought into promin- ence by the blaze of electricity, there was not one whom he could call his friend; mot one in all that throng with whom he could claim. kinship, or from whom he could expect, even remotely, the grateful courtesies of tenderness and friendship. He seemed alone, ex- cluded from' their world of home, of pleasure, of social and domestic life, unable to bridge the great gulf that separated their. sphere of joy or sor row from his own sordid lily of busi- ness and worldly cares and interests Alone in a great city, with its teeming multitudes of human beings, each one a member of an inner circle of his own, with friends and kin, and the gladness and. sofrow that clusters around it, while he himself, the wealthiest banker in "the. whole. metropolis, with bonds, and shares .and real estate enough to make him wealthy, a bundred times over, but .alene, excluded, isolated.

There was the rilence in the tomb in that lonely oflice above the street where the muliitude thronged by ina ceaseless stream of living humanity, as though the death angel himself was brooding over it in all the awfulness of Lis soclsmn presence. There was no move, and no word from the tighten ed lips of the shrewd old banker, who now regarded the thin sheet of note paper with its weak, unskilful letter and bearing the lithograph of a mn hospital, in absolute stillness.

In a twinkling he was hustling down again and out into the windy street with on ly his office cap on kis curly head. and making excellent time to the stables of the nearest livery around the corner,* while the president hurriedly wrote a few brief lines to his first vice, jumped into his overcoat in half a second, and was being driven up the main street to his home on the hill top as though an evil spirit had entered the horses and set fire to their hoofs. Carts, street cars, carriages, throngs of people hur rying in all. directions, policemen--it made po difference; on they went reck lessly, carelessly, heedlessly, bouncing over the crossings and down the avi nue to the left with a swing that fair ly made the driver's hair stand on end end brought the wheels within an ace of thé opposite pavement. But they were not waiting on ceremony, and on they went up the hill to the presi dent's home, twming in between the iron gates that guarded the driveway, till they drew up before the fine stone edifice, a veritable mansion, with large bay windows, lofty minarets, and tas ty, decorative architecture, .an ornate structure, which it had taken the best part of three vears to complete. There was a stir and hustl: on the part of old Margie, the housekeeper, when her master entered and bounded up the stairs without a word of explanation, as if his very life depended upon touch ing only every fourth step in the as cent. In ten or fifteen minutes he was down again and merely saying he would not be back again for a day or so was on his way to the station of the Central Railway company, le fore the aged domestic had fully re covered her wits. 'I guess he's crazy," muttered the servant in the astonished surprise of her bewilderment. No, no, Margie, he's not crazy this time, he's only recovering from it! They were covering the streets now where the traffic was less conjested and moving with the speed of an Arabian horse. Fortunately the best steeds that the livery possessed had not been out that day or the day he fore, and the keen fresh air, combined] with an occasioned erack from the driver's whip about their ears, made them cut the air and beat a tatto on the hard, snow-covered pavement as though racing with the chariot of Apollo. The ticket agent at the station offices was an astonished individual a few minutes later when a large portly gentleman hurried up to the wicket Just two minutes: before the east- bound express was due to leave track No. 3, with a degidedly premptory command to hand over a "Sylvester, man sleeper accommodations. The lit tle messenger boy who grabbed his grip and followed the lead of the stal- wart gentlemen "as he © made for the tracks, pushing hi: way among the tomists, and travellers without even a "By your leave" would doubtless have given went to. some unusual bursts of amazément even for a mes senger ; but he pocketed the bill the man put into his hand as he stepped aboard and said nothing about the matter. The porter, just throwing aside the step used as a conveniznce for passengers, helped him up with the rather laconic comment, "Just in time, Massa." The engine gave sharp, shrill whistle, there was a swish of steam, a few quick turns of the drivers, and the train pulled out. Seated among thé soft velvety cush- ions of the Pullman sleeper as they swung out along the bright line of rails, glancing around the curves and over the treseles in the mad rush of an eastern flier, the hardened old miser had ample time for réflection on his past conduct as weli as on the de- cidedly recent turn that events had taken within the past hour and «4 half, There wae even yet a possibility of hope, a faint one it might he, in this race with death.

And this was she whom he had so Lilterly condemned, whom he had driven from his fireside as though she had been a' reprobate; who lay at death's door in a distant hospital, or, it might Le, was even then sleeping beneath the snows in a quiet plot where a parent's cruelty could no longer hurt her innocent heart, God forgive him! And as he thought of it he howed his head in a bitterness of regret and a sorrow of remorsefulness that well "nigh atoned for all his ugliness in the days of the past. But unheeding either the joy or heavy sorrow of its many passengers, the swift express sped on into the set- tled darkness of the winter's night, the bright lamps in the coaches "sending the rays: of their light out into the thick drawn gloom, like the glad flight of a happy and cheering life through a world of bareness and waste, Ii, At even, e'er the sun was set, Abe sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what divers pains they met, O with what joy they went away ! Thy touch has still its ancient power, No word from Thee can fruitless fall, Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all ! There was a stroke of six from the city clock when the express drew into the depot at Sylvester on the evening of the following day, combined with the sharp ringing of 'a bell in the hands of a lusty youth near the main entrance to the waiting rooms, who kept calling out to refreshments with a full hour for lunch; but without heeding him a man of middle age, stepping hurriedly from the parlor car at the rear of the train, and carrying a handsome leather suit case, walked over to the cab stand at the rear end the station, and, speaking a few words to the owner of a well-groomed span of bays, jumped into a carriage and was being driven over the frozen turf to an hospital situated in the oth- er end of the town. Had you looked closely at him you would have thouglit he bore some resemblance to a certain "Old Wizzen" who has enjoyed a de cidedly unique and unenviable reputa tion as being the hardest, cruclest, fax ve fire the Ku uae Cures a Cold inOneDay, 2 Days most relentless, grasping aud niggard- ly old miser in his native ei but looking at him again of tha uict winter's evening, however, be it in the wever, flare of the station lights, there might scem to be an almost indescribable change somewhere in his person or pearance. Dressed in the same suit which he wore at our introduction, the hard and rancorous cast of coun- tenance seemed to have faded from the clear cut, firm set features, and a new light to have dawned in the brown eves. It may be there had heen a change somewhere, Or one cannot always judge by appearances. It is quite possible he was not as much of a selfish old miser as we had at first supposed. In a private ward of a yell dyuiphed and successfully conducted hospital, a couple of physicians and a trained nurse wore bending over an urncons i ous patient, whose faint and listless breathing gave no tokens of returnin, health to a frame wasted and wearie by months of wea suffering and pain, till now it ad beon brought to a crisis in the dread disease. Anx- iously they felt her pulse, tenderly they bent over her, noting évery ia- dication that a physician's oy eyo and a nurse's tenderness might direct that, would lend a clue to even a re- mote hope for recovery and returning health. But she lay = sleeping, every now and again moaning in inarticu: late breathings as though uttering the fancies of a dream. They bent over to listen, but could catch no syllable of her strange tongue, It may be it was not given to mortals to translate her thoughts. : "She has been talking ceaselessly about her father during the Inst their amazement hn week," said the nurse, Raking the | the. reason of it. all. al "Ve snowy hand in hers.

"Poor child," sail the chief physi- diam, a specialist ip his ine, and whom the patient had fearlessly trust ed with her life: "Poor child "Is it not od that anyone should be so cruel as to turn a lov daughter away from his fireside og she may have done! God pity us if we are always going to be bitter and re sentful, 'especially at such a glad sea. son of the year as the happy holi- days 1" ; Could there have been a slight ea- dence in his tone caused by the me- mory of his own dear girl, travelling for her health in a distant land across the seas, and whom he had not seen for years ? "It is a shame," returned the nurse, "whoever he is may God forgive his hardened old heart," | ¥ There was a faint stir among the snowy counterpanes as the patient, still moa i her dreamy s as though realizing the drift of the con- versation going on about her, tossed to the other side, murmuring almost inartiulaily, "Don't Father. Take we back again for I'm all alone now." The physi ian, bending to catch her feeble words as though they were her last, heard also among those dying accents the quick march of a heavy. footed man coming up the steps and hurrying along the corridor, guided by the light tread of an attendant, Quickly they approached, as though unconscious of the sound made by their: footfalls in that sick filled place where mortals fought in combat with the spirits of disease, and knocked at the bedroom door. The assistant doc- tor opened it, when a brusque and wi idl-aged man brushed past him, now treading lightly to the bed on which lay the form of his only child, ~his long lost girl. It is Wiggins. With a moan of grief he knelt at her bedside, and took her thin, spare hand in his own large palm and placing his lips to her ear he whispered in ac- cents which have strangely lost a good. deal of their old aspeiity and irony ' 'Annie, my child ~your father, An- vie, see, I've come for you." The eyes opened faintly. There was a moment of delerium, then a smile of happy recognition as a new, heaven- born light dawned in the restless orbs and a little cry of childish pleasure burst from the fever-heated lips, She knew him then, thank God! It had not been too late, nor perhaps in vain. She might even yet return to the glad firevide that had béen so sadly cold since the day she. left it in the holidays of the long age. Christmas day dawned hb . and char, sunny as a fairy land, with the snows of winter glistening and scien- tillating beneath the radiant beams like diamonds scattered broad-cast and set in a sea of white, while bells peal ed gaily from many a tower and city cathedral with the glad cheer of good: will and peace that sounded o'er Be- thiechem's plains so many = centuries ago. It was fresh and frosty, the sweet winter air being just sharp enough to sct the blood a-tingle and make a long walk or drive in the in- vigorating heauty of the morning a healthiul and pleasureable exercise. And on that gladsome day, with the sound of the merry peals ringing in his ear, a certain noted banker walked from his suburban home, at Wood- cliffe, on the hillside, to his office in the heart of the city, where by former appointment the shareholders and trus- tees of the bank of which he was pre- sident were to meet' to discuss the fin- ancial situation for the year just clos- ing, and to prepare a statement for the investors' hemefit.
