And then he sat back in his leather-cov- cred chair, biting the snd of his penholder savagely, and thought with bitterness of his heart, of the day so log ngo, when she had come to him holding Will Allen by tte hand, and when Wall, standing proodiy before him in the foil nobiiny of manhood, nad asked lum for Noili as lis. Mr. Smnallpiece remembered loo, with a chuckle ol erultation how he hud shown Will Align to the door at once and forbidden him ever entering his house sgamn 5 bow he had sent Nelie to her room nx Rood of tears, and how he had himself roturned to Will Allen ail the foviish letters and keepeakes which he had ever lad the audacity 10 send to Simon Sianipiece's daughier.

But Simon Suallpece had sent his loudest curses ulier them, and he had never seen the face of his only child fiom that day 10 thi. He rever would forgive her, and there was comfort in as- surning hitaself of that at all events, One lazy alietnoon, Mr. Smallpiece changing to. look up fim he misty d-pihe of a long chancery bill 1p which he was Just then sabmeiged, caoght sight, tiongh the open window, of a litle chiid standing upon tne step of a hose on the opposite side of the common. There was nothing | teresting to Mr. Smalipiecein children. -- As a general tule he hated them, but as he huppened to glance al this wee litle lady, standing #0 plamp and rosy on the door step, she suddenly clapped her hands to- gethier and gave such a joyous tile scream ot delight nut on actual y smiled. -- Yes, he did, aud it was something he had not done for a very long time. Looking in 'he direction in which the child wan gnzing he saw a man clad wn the dress of a work- man, coming across the common. And this person, when he came to where the child was standing, caught ber np gh above lus heat aud with a Intle laugh, and, bringing her down into his ane asain, kissed her. Whether Mr. Smalipiece's heart was a tfle more tender than usoal just then, 1 cannot say, but it seemed to hin that there wis something w the move- ment of the workman very pleaxing and pretty. He remembered a time when he was won'tto do the same thing to his own chuld himself. ' ! The cbild, catching a glimpse of M:.

And although you may not believe 1, tis actualy true that the old lawyer leh tis work, aud, patting on his hat, quit his office by the back dour, aud walked across the common to join them. To be sore, he ok no part i their sport, and only stood under the trees to watch the proceedinas ; vat before he went back to his writing, (he child had another red apple, bigger this time than bath her chubby fists wether. And so between these people a sort of hall-fa.wiliar aqevaintance sprang up, which gradually became to Simon Small- piece so pleasant end agreeable that, at tast, whenever the workinan and hid neice failed ro appear on the nice afiernoons, the lawyer would experience a shade of dienp- pointment. Uneoneciously to himself, the attntion with the innocent uature of the child was rubbing off the hard protrob winners of sellishness and vncharity upon his own character. Somehow he could not. think of this hitde one and his own daugh' ter, who was once wu child, atthe same nme (and when one was present in his mind ro glso' was the other) with opposed or diff rent feelings. When he langned at the gambola of the workman's neice, or pinched her roxy clieeks playfuliy, he could not find in his heart 10 ntter his ace costomed curse vpon the memory of his own ehiid whom he had driven from him years ago. Tne summer waned, and autumn came in her teethog robes of brown aud gold, strewing the grassy space belnnd the offices with a loose carpet of crisp aud withered leaves. The intimacy between Suuon and the child extending now even to taking bern tows arms wud kissing her had cian- destinely smuggled an element of kindliness into the lawyer's nature, whieh had kindied i tus heart a warmth he bud not known for very many years, One afiernoon he saw the man approach- tng with a mirgular halting gate, as thongh nt were painful for him to walk. The hous was a little earher than that of the usual return from work, but the child was waiting for him under the trees. Asx she saw him coming she clurped her hands with her characteristic, litle shout and ran toward tim. But tie didnot catch her in fis arms as usual, avd ay he took her band, Fut his own great brown one up qu.ckly to his heart and staggered a httle nosteady -- Then, withont a word, he tell forward sud- Jeuly upon the grass, ¢ My goodiiess I' waid Simon, leaping at the low, open window, and inning aciosy the common toward them, ¢ something has happeued 10 'he man.' When be reached the epot the workman lay upon his lace, and the child was cling- mg to him with screams of terror, Several persons who had seen hin fall came quickly vp and tried 0 raise him to his feet, but when they recognized the truth they laid him back again and tied 10 un: clasp the arms of the lwdle wir, ¢ It was heeit disease,' said one softly.

As he held her in his armas, ali the feelings of paternity, so long dead within his breast, came suddenly npper- most, and greatly to his own astonishment he found tumsell doing, without the least awkwardness or embarassment, the needful tangs which seeme:l bast to draw her mind away from what bad happened," When he had quieted her sobs with cheery stories, he cared her up sais and fed her royally with bread and milk even going without his own supper because he would not leave her 10 go oul 10 mike the neces-ury por- chases. Aller it had grown dark, he con: cuntrated wll his powers upon the problem of undressing her, and so, after breaking most of the hooks and fastening the various strings in the hardest and moat vexatious knots, he got her into bed at last, and buried bier up to ber chin in his own dilapulated blankets. ! Then, and not till then, . did he sit down to ponder npron what he shou!d do with her. It wax evident that be could yt keep her with him 48 her uncle had done. Why not ?
