J "But, father " f 1 "Now dont you talk to me about' | cbnts,' Charlie, because I won't have it. X shall sit down here, and you can go and tell your mother not to wait--not to wait," the man repeated, raising his ' voice with the stupid anger of intoxica­ tion. | Still, in spite of threat and refusal, ; the child persfeted in pleading that his ^ father should go home; but his words only seemed to strengthen the man's obstinacy, and all the boy could do was to get his father to turn aside from the high road into a lield close by, where the man threw himself at full length on '• the grass, somewhat under the shade of vv,-i'the hedge, and in a few minutes he was Y-i sleeping heavily, while the child sat down at a little distance, with a strange " kind of unchildish patience on his V.. features, to wait until his father should wake. Poor little Charlie! he knew *' too well how useless any attempt on his i-1 , port would be to rouse his father from 1 that sort of sleep. Bather more than half an hour had passed in this weary waiting, and Charlie was beginning to find all his small soyrces of amusement fail him. He had watched a large bee that kept hovering over the convolvulus blossoms in the hedge, and'wondered if he lvad • not'nefulv finished his day's work; had placed a snail out of harm's way, and y-r'f kad been tempted to chase a beautiful, painted butterfly that flitted past him; but he began at last te lose his interest in bees and butterflies, for it was now tea-time, and Charlie was growing ter­ ribly hungry. Still he did not think of deserting his post, for no one but the child himself knew how often he had kept his tipsy father ofi' the co.untry road when carts or carriages were com­ ing along, nor how he had managed to guide him in safety over the narrow bridge that led across the river to their cottage. - So Charlie sat there -quietly, though he was growing more tired and hungry every moment, until the sound of a whistle at a little distance attracted his attention, the sound gradually coming . Aearer and sounding more distinct, p • until a young man jumped over the stile at the end of the field and approached the child, who then knew him to be a gentleman he had often met during the last week, sometimes sketching, some­ times wandering about with his knap­ sack on his back and his portfolio under s his arm. Indeed, a kind of half ac- • quaintance had sprang up between the young artist and Charlie--one attracted . . by the glimpses he had caught of the pictures contained in the wonderful portfolio, the other by the child's wist- ' ful glances and his rustic beauty. Busy with his own thoughts, and judging from his happy face they were very pleasant ones--perhaps dreams of ' the time when some wonderful picture of his should hang on the walls of the academy, and by so doing help him on *" the read to fame and fortune--Eustace / » Carroll had half crossed the field be­ fore he noticed Charlie and his father. Then his quick eyes told him the mean­ ing of the little scene; the quiet, weary- looking child and the sleeping father, with his untidy clothes, and collar and necktie unfastened, and his face turned up to the blue sky that looked down upon nothing so debased as this man, whom God had made "a little lower than the angels," and who, by his own vice, bad thus degraded himself. With the quick. Instinct of childhood, Charlie understood the look of disgust with which the young artist turned to him, saying kindly as h&did m~. " Tou are waiting to take jour father home, I suppose?" "Yes, sir'" replied the child, whilst * flush of shame spread over her face. "Well, I think he is likely to lie there for hours jet. Can't yon leave him?" "No, sir, lie aught be run over, or fall into the river if I left him to oone home himself." "Oh," said Eustaoe, as he glanced toward the sleeping man, and wondered if it would be much loss to any one if he did fall into the river; but he checked the thought, remembering that he, with bis foe taste.? and many kinds of amusement, could form no idea of the temptation which drink might have for this man, with his Mother will be sure to keep it for ma ofttfl I get home, sir," replied duarl!̂ too brave to complain to a stranger. "Thalfa all right, "said Eustace, twder- anding and respecting the feeling that jetatedjthe answer; "meanwhile,I shall give you this p ece of cake, just to pass the tame away. When I was a small boy, •tray pieces of cake never prevented me they came, so be wasted. you sit still, for I am going to make a picture, and when it is finished I will show it to you." Very few dainties fell to Charlie's share in those days, and Eustaoe was highly amused at the manner in which he ate his cake, nibbling it off around the edge so as to make it last as long as possible;and he succeeded so well that the picture was finished almost as soon as the last currant disappeared. "Well, was it good ?" asked Eustaoe as he tied his portfolio. "Yes; mother does not put currants in her cake. Sometimes on our birth­ days, when father has not been out, we have a cake; but then we have no seeds in it." "And those are not so nice?" "Oh, no, sir, of course not!" swered Charlie, surprised that any one should ask such a question. , "Well, l am glad you like it. I vn going back to the city in a day or two, bnt I shall put another piece of cake in my knapsack in case I meet you again before I go. Look here; do you know this?" Charlie glanced at the little picture Eustaoe held out to him, and then he gave a scream of surprise: "Why, it's me and father!" And so it was; and, eveti though Eustace should live to be an old man, he will never succeed in making any thing more true to nature than that hurried sketch. He had just caught .the tired, wistful look on the child's face, and it was &H the more striking as it was brought into such contrast with the vacant countenance of the tipsy sleeper, who looked so thoroughly out of place beside the child, and the pleasant green background of the hedge, where the convolvulus blossoms mingled with the wild rose and black­ berry flowers. "Wait a moment," said Eustace, and then he wrote at the bottom of the sketch three lines from a poem of Bums:-- , Oh. wad some power the giftie gle us ; To see oureels aa others see as, t It %oald frae monie a blander free as. "There," he continued putting the picture in the child's hands. "You shall have that, and if you like to show it to your father one of these days, do so; it may teach him a lessen." And, before the child could make any reply, Eustace was off and away, tramping along the high road. Five years had passed before the young artist had the time and chance to visit the quiet village again. In those five rears he had done good work--had thought, and worked, and painted, un­ til people had begun to believe in him, and talked of him as one of the most promising painters of the day. Still, in the midst of it all, he often remembered liis little sketch, and won­ dered--without much hope in the won­ der--whether his idea that it might do good, had come to pass; and on the day he traveled down to Mortson, the memory of the scene came clearly be­ fore him with the thought of the grand old words--"Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days." "Such a poor little crumb of good, though it was," said Eustace to himself, "still I wonder--I wonder--and I'll try to find it out, too." And as it happened, Eustace did find it out more quickly than he expected, for that very evening, as he was return­ ing from a walk, in the course of which he had visited some of his old haunts, there passed him on the road a man ai'l a handsome boy of about 13. "My little friend and his father," thought Eustace, whose quick, artist eye seldom forgot a face or figure, and he quickened his pace in order to keep within a short distance of the boy. So the three went on, past the cor­ ner of tbe field where the sketch had been taken, down the road find across the bridge, till the man and boy reached a little cottage, the small front garden of which was gay with bright- colored, old-fashion«LfloWiers. „ , "That looks promising," thought Eu­ stace ; "no drunkard ever had a garden like that;" and, determined to ascertain the facts of the case, he went up to the door with the intention of asking the nearest way to the next village. Through the open door he caught a glimpse of the neatly-kept cottage kitchen, as Charlie came forward to answer the stranger's question; but be­ fore half the right turns had been de­ scribed, a bright smile broke over the boy's face, and, half turning round, he exclaimed: "Father, it's my painter!" and, to his surprise, Eustace found that in that household, at least, he was a hero; and the young artist never felt more rever­ ence for his art than he did as he list­ ened to the account Of the good his picture had done. For some time Charlie had kept the sketch, and had been afraid to show it to his father, but the man found it by chance, one day, and "It was more than I could stand, sir," he said, addressing Eustace. "I did not need any one to tell me what it meant, but although I wondered where it came from, I was ashamed to ask. Somehow I could not get the picture out of my head. I even used to dream of it at night until it fairly worried me, so that 1 gave up the drink; and I had the picture hung up there, that I might not have a chance of forgetting what I dragged myself down to once." So the story ended; and in his heart Eustace Carroll is prouder of that little sketch, hanging in a common Hack frame over the mantelpiece of the coun­ try cottage, than he would be if he should'paiut a picture that wottld make his name famous throughout his life.
