Of course, gamblers do succeed sometimes. I saw nothing more of March for some time afterward. “I am afraid you will not have many receipts to enter in your ledgers," I retorted. Poor March! I do not think he had one single qualification for journalism, unless it. were this un- bounded selt-contidence of his. I felt. unfeignedly sorry for him, but. it was his own affair, and it was too late to accomplish anything by interference in any case. vvâ€"‘fY'dhndon't know me yet," were his words as he left my_rooms phat gigpp. “1 know you fellows who write think no one can make anything at it but yourselves.” March spoke with a. tol- e: ant smile at my iniiimities. “‘1 mean to show you that business habits are bound to pay even in your piofession.“ "We shall see,” he replied composed- ’ly, as he lit one of my cigars with a spill. “In a year’s time, independent- ly of what i can make by journalism, I expect my two thousand, which is plaguy little use to me at 3 per cent. will be worth twenty. Then I shall sell." “Oh! you will sell then, will you i” I was rather exasperated at the man’s folly. “And you expect to make money by journalism, poor innocent.

The agitation of the subject of the food supply of England has reached a point where it has become a great na- tional issue.

It was the shock of reading in the copy of the paper he was selling, that the director of his mine had received a cable announcing the discovery of a new and valuable gold-bearing reef on their property,that caused his sudden collapse. For once the cable did not lie, and March realiz- ed a little more than his long-looked- for twenty thousand. The gamble had turned out a success, but even now, the gambler does not like to talk much about that year's existence. But he paid me back my sovereign with I “Ch!

I resolved to look in at the hos- pital next morning. They would have taken him to St. Philip's, and the house surgeon there was an acquaint- ance of mine. Half way down \Valbi'ook there was a block. Crowds always attract me and I pushed forward to see what was the matter. A newspaper-seller, it seemed, had fallen down in a fit, or dead. Presently the body was lifted in- to the ambulance, and wheeled off tow- ard the hospital. As it passed by I strove in vain to get a glimpse of the face. for an unreasoning suspicion seiz- ed me thatit might be my friend. Few things were less likely, but my mind was full of him just then. I hesitated for a moment and thought of following the procession to the hospital; but I had barely time to catch my train, and after all, it was the merest fancy.
