If things had gone on as they did for the first few months, I could have bided time and _ opportunity ; but they _ didn‘t. Chenges in the regiment put it in the power of a petty tyrant to lead me a life worse than a dog‘s. Day after day he subjected me to mortifications and anpnoyâ€" ances, such as were almost enough to mad> den any oue with the feelings of a man in him. I told you that he had prevented me from obtaining leave, and this very day he met me out of barracks, and openly taunted me about it. _ He threatened me with what he would do in the future, and so I have faced the risk and yun off rather than be placed in his power nagain after that. _ Having movey enough in my pocket to pay fare, I came straight away hersâ€"for help." "I had rather you had not needed the help, my boy," eaid the mother, "but since you do, you have only to show us how we can help you." **Well, I‘ll tell you," he answered, ‘and then proceeded at considerable length to explain his position and views to the Jovâ€" ing and anxious listners. "Well, that may be, Jim," said the mother, somewhat but not fully reassured ; "but you might be the one in a hundred, and, at any rate, it must be a misersble life to live with the feer of such a thing hanging over you like a sword. . Why ever did you do it? you might have known that we hadn‘t given up our inâ€" tention of getting you off." "Oh, no, mother," he said, soothingly, "at the worst it would not be so bad as that. Even if I were taken, I would not be shot; and after all," he added, his tone becoming gemninely hopetul, "if you‘ll help me, the danger of my being taken at all is not great. Thousands take French leave of the army, ard for pretty much the same reasons as I have done, and there is not one in a hundred of them that is ever taken again. England isa big place, and it is ensy to lose one‘s self in a crowd." Mrs. Harwood had only ears for the one dreadful word. "Deserted !" _ she said, sinking into her chair and helplessly wringing her hands. "Oh dear! Oh dear! 1 think I shall die. My son, my dead Reuben‘s boy, will be taken from me and shot." ""Poor innocent mother !" he execlaimed, pityingly ; "no one but you would have needed to ask that question. â€"I have deâ€" serted, that is what has happened, mother," he went on, his tone changing to one of bitterness. "I have become an outeast, one that must live in fear and trembling, and hide myself from the faces of those who knew meâ€"always excepting you and Eve, â€"for I know I can trust your love, howâ€" ever unworthy of it I may be." "But what is it, Jim? what has bhappenâ€" ed ?" urged the mether, full of vague terâ€" ror.‘ "Oh, mother," answereed Jim, shaking his head in selfâ€"reproachful sorrowfuluess, "I‘m afraid I‘ve been boru to be a curse to you, I never thought once I should ever live to say it, but I am almost glad poortather is dead ; it would have broken his heart to see me come to this." "But, what is it dears? what are you talking about ?" said the mother, who had been looking on in dumb wonderment. "You daze me quite." "It was love for you that made me so wish to come in the first instance," he answered ; but knowing that I was secure of your love, I could have born the seperaâ€" tion till better times lhad come, if that had been all ; but you don‘t know what I have Lbad to put up with of lite, Eve. 1 have been goaded and badgered and tormented till I have felt almost like a wild beast? and could scarcely answer for my actions ; and as I should still have been subjected to the same treatment if I had stayed, what I have done, bad as it is, is perhaps the best." ""Well, I won‘t reproach you, dear. I know it is love for us that has drawn you away," she said, "but I am sorry. If you could but have been pationt and borne your cross for another year or two, it would have been so much better, we could have freed you then ourselves." CHAPTER VI. (Continued). ‘"Yes, Eve, I have," he answered. "I must try to escape the consequences of my net, for I caunot recal it." Though thy life bo sad and dreary Yet the end is perfect day." O, my soul, faint not at trials. Though the cross may heavy lie; Rest remaineth for the faithful, In the "Golden By and Bo." Slowly falls the shades of evening ; Flpwly fades the light of day ; One by one the stars come, peeping Through the cloudy cuxtains gray. Softly mid the twilight shadows, Angel visitors draw near; Spirits of my friends departed, Friends of youth, so loved and near. And they sweetly whisper to nto Of a mansion, grand and fair; Of a home of fudeloss glory, Free from sorrow, pain and care. But those angels voices whisper, "Work, and faint not by the way.

He gratefully acquiesced in their flashed through Eve‘s mind, and so unâ€" ‘ plan, and while the hopes that lay inâ€" it nerved her that she stood like one under, | gave him patience to bear his tate the asâ€" an evil spell, unable either to speak or| surance against rashness of action which move, his agreement in it afforded the others was The other had learned sufficient of her|strength and comfort to them. One eharacter in the old Knightsford days to pardonable little weakness was that in know that neither the mere surprise of |Eve‘s otherwise sternly practicable and seeing him, or any idea of physical danger ‘ selfâ€"denying conduct ; she would not bank _ Jim having the speciai reason we know | what was | of for "keeping himself to himself," had I Jim gla but few acquaintances and no friends in | and, accon Manchester, so that when his mother and ' entered t Eve arrived the three became all in all to | mounted sach other, and entered upon a brief f the door 1 period of happiness that would have been feeling of ; about as complete as it is given to human t ing his fac happiness to be, but that the shadow of the | child. impending sword that hung over him would | He mad occasionally fall upon it.

Time, however, lessened i imprisonn: the chances of detection, and as time went ‘ regiment, on without the occurrence of anything in t name. Ai the least calculated to alarm them, t.lxeirQ health by â€" hearts grew lighter, and the remembrance ‘ had youth of danger returned at less and less frequent! even a gro intervals. So assured of their position had hope, and they become at the end of their first year‘s 1 to him beg residence in Manchester, that it was then his moth arranged that Jim and Eve should at| themselve: length be united, and in the then coming ‘ to him. Whitsun week, that day being a holiday : Most Higl one with the artisan class in the town, and fnvcr\'ing c therefore nilowing opportumity for a little | honest fai honeymoon trip. In preparing for the I never seen wedding Mrs. Harwood and Eve had a pressed th good deal of shopping to do, and on the [ and not ve Saturdny before Whitmonday â€"the latter | ze xved atte being the day fixed for the marriageâ€"Jim, ‘ of their lor it being halfâ€"holiday with him, accompanied| Eve on them as escort, on their final shopping exâ€" | nee.lle as pedition. _ While they were making | wood as he purchases at a draper‘s, Jim had sauntered | er parts of on aâ€"gad, so thas when they game out of | Jow prices the shop they were for a imqment alone, | dental to & At that instant a band was lgid on Eve‘s hood, they shoulder. She turned round expecting to | hard, as to see her betrothed, but, beheld, instead, the | towards t face of Mr. Stone flushed with diink, and | when it ha gradually lighting up with an unpleasautly | Jim‘s freed triumphal smile. l Poor Jir "Yes, Eve it is by all that‘s lovely !" he exclaimed in a theatrical tone, "I thought there could not be two such lovely figures." All that might resultfrom the recognition flashed through Eve‘s mind, and so unâ€" nerved her that she stood like one under, an evil spell, unable either to speak or to prevent them from coming to him ; and he begged that they would come. Their hearts inclined them to fall in with his views on this head, and after some litâ€" tle hesitation and currespondence as to details, it was arranged that Jim‘s proâ€" pesals should be carried into effect, and Mrs. Harwood, whose health was someâ€" what failing her saying that she was going to live with her own "kin agein," she and Eve quitted Knightsford "for good." Meanwhile, she and Eve exch>nged letters with Jim every week, and as months rolled on without Lring‘ng any sizn of danger, the feeling of foar and apprehension gradually grew weaker and weaker, aud the sense of comfort and security, and desire for reâ€"union stronger and stronger. The latter feeling, in fact, after a time became an all absorbing one with him. At the end of a year he wrote that he had become an established hand in the firm by which he was engaged, and was therefore cortain of constant employ. ment, and carning good money and enjoyâ€" ing good health, he only wanted to be with his own people to be happy. His coming to them he urged was impossible, but now that he was in a position to mainâ€" tain a home for them, there was nothing little money to supply his immediate wants until he could obtain employment in some large town. Clothes and money were of course instantly forthcoming, and then after lying down for two or three hours Jim, his soldier‘s uniform changed for the ga.b of an artizan, stole from the house agcin, in the dark of the cold winter‘s morning, mother and sweetheart alike parting from him with tears, and with many mute but heartfelt prayers for his safety. At first they had been loath to part with him again at all after so brief a meeting, but he had shown them that in Knightstord, of all towns, it would be idangerous for him to be seen, and that for all their sakes it would be the wisest: plan for him to get away if possible withâ€" !out anyone but themselves knowing he 4 had beer there. With a view to seonving . this seercey he left the town aâ€"foot, _ This y lime he was going away in a period of unâ€" usual briskness of trade, and his search for employment was attended with speedy good fortune. Within a week he was I able to write to "the dear ones at Lome," informing them that he had started to !work in Manchester, and was earning + l good wages. | Through the same means by which the fact of Jim‘s enlistment had become known in Knightsford it soon got rumoured there that he had deserted ; and the mother had a vague general idea that inquiries were being made about him in the town ; but no one in authority came to her, and no one among her personal acquaintances suspected for n moment that her son had been under her roof again. Nor was she put to any embarrassment or necessity for equivocation in the matter ; herfriends reâ€" garding it as a subject to be avoided in her presence. Briefly put, the assistance he wamted from them wnfi: looking out for him of the civilian cMthing he had left behind him on his flight from Knightsford, more particularly his "working" suits ; and a _known to the authorities, and he was , leniently dealt with. After a brief term of 'imprisoumeut he was sent back to his regiment, joining it this time in his proper ‘name. At first he was much broken in I health by what had befallen him. . But he , bad youth on his side, and soon he had ; even a greater healer of broken spiritsâ€" | hope, and life which had seemed all dark to him began to brighten again. Eve and :lxil mother, though greatly deprassed : themselves put on a cheerful countenance ; to him. Their faith in the goodness of the | Most High was of a very sunple and unâ€" Ilwerving character, and, in humble and | honest faith, they wrote that they hrd | never seen the righteous forsaken and exâ€" pressed the utmost confidence in the final lsnd not very far distant success, of a reâ€" a ze ved attempt to work out the redemption : of their loved one, Eve once more betook herself to her nee.lle as a source of income, Mrs. Harâ€" wood as hefore assisting her with the plainâ€" er parts of the work ; and notwithstanding low prices and the other drawbacks inciâ€" dental to such a means of earning a livliâ€" hood, they worke1 so hard, and lived so hard, as to be able to "lay by" each week towards the purchase money wherewith, when it had reached a suffigient amount, Jim‘s freedom was to be bought Jim gladly availed himself of the offer, and, accompanied by his mother and Eve, entered the cab, while the peliceman mounted beside the driver, The iustant the door was closed Jiin gave way to ns feeling of grief and desolation, and coverâ€" ing his face with his hands eried like a child. **You can have a cab if you like, laddie," the policeman said in an undertone, and at the same time making a slight sign to a cabman who had stopped his vehicle to see what was going on. "I know you must, and you are doing it kindly," answored Jim. He made no denial, attempted no defence, but the material facts of his story became ‘"Have you nothing to say then ?" asked the constable. "Nothing." Jim answered. "I don‘t like them jobs," replied the officer, "but all the same I must d> my duty." **You hear what he says," observed the officer, who was evidently disgusted with the unconcealed malignity of his informent and desirable of giving the other any reasonable chance of escape. "Yes, 1 hear," answered Jim briefy. and to meet a policeman, who, attracted by the ecrowd gathering around was approachâ€" ing the seene of action. â€" ‘‘Take that fellow, constable," he exclaimed, pointing to Jim. "he is a deserter ; I charge, and will take all responsibility. â€" Do your duty." **Yes, 1 hear," answered Jim briefly, and though his Leart was cold within him, he bore himself proudly while the eyes of his enemy were upon him. Eve, poor girl, could but cling to his arm in speechless ngitation, and seeing this, he turned his eyes with a look of inquiry on Mr. Stone. The recognition was now but little of a surprise, and Stone was the first to recover himself. _ He hastily advanced txg Mrs. Harwood at this moment recognisâ€" ing her former lodger had hurried after Jim, meaning to tell him to By, but in her excitement she becaine so incoherent, that for the moment all that was clear to him was the wave of her hand pointing to where Eve stood, and that was enough. _ Eve‘s face was toward him, and he saw it was blanched with fear, and without stopping to ask for any explanation 1e strode foreâ€" ward, quivering with indignation. "Bober or not, Eve, I‘m quite wide awake," he said, interrupting her ; "itis all very well for you to come the virtuously indignant, but it won‘t act with me. â€" T‘m master of the game, and I tell you fairly I mean to make the most of my hand." "I don‘t understand you," she said faintly though her heart belied the words that her lips uttered. "What can you possibly want with me 2" ""What do you menn, sir, by springing upon me in this style ?" said Eve rallying a little and assuming an indignant tune. You knew I would bave no wish to speak to you, and I should have thought you would have had more seliâ€"respect than to speak to me ; I suppose I must attribute it to your not being in your sober seuses," to herself arising ut of the meeting, would account for her blank look of terror, her cowed and trembling manner. With the ivstinct of a worthless nature he instantly guessed the true cause of her agitation and it was this that brought the smile of sueering triumph to his countenange. "Oh oh !" he laughed, "I‘ve futtered the doveâ€" cote, have I? I‘m pretty emart, you know, Eve ; l‘lay odds that if I follow you up to your nest I‘ll trap the male bird and everything is fair in love and war, remember, â€" But never mind,my dear, you know how I‘m held towards you ; you ean | do pretty well as you wish with me if you ; net anything like reasonable." | TORONTO $1 per year in Advance. I He knew where she lived, and mnde a | point offrequently passing and trying to I attract her attention as she sat at the window working, and on several occasions ! he had tried to foree his comversation upon | her in the streets, wishing, so far as sho | could gather from the few words which she had been unable to avoid hearing on those | occasions, that he desired to ‘"make friend: ," { and professed to be sorry for having deâ€" (nounced Jim, and to attribute his having done so to momentary passion. The sil | ent econtempt with which she treated him ! galled him sorely, but at the same time ? seemed to create in him a morbid craving | to keep himself under her eye and within |har knowledge, and it became a regular t thing for her to see him two or three times a week. Atfirst she just glanced carelessly ,:lt him as he loitered past her window, meaning to show that she was not afraid to } look hi in the face ; but presently changes in his appearance and manner excited & ‘ltrongor feeling of curiosity, and of conâ€" jeeture as to the causes and meaning of the changes. She obscrved that his being "in drink" became a more and more frequent * occurrence, and gradcally the outwad tnnd visible signs of drunkenness l ezan to show upon himâ€"the face to grow red aud |eo-m, the eyes dull and moist, and the I figure bloated and flabby. Within the space of asingle year from the time of Jim‘s arrest, he contrasted very unfarourably with the nest and dapper figure he had | presented when under Mrs. Harwood‘> }xoof ; and at the end of that poriod Eve | began to remark that he was hanging about in working hours. From this she inferres that he was out of employment, aud soun had good reason to conclude that this did not arise from his be‘ng independent of it. His clothes began to war shabby, and this cireuinstance, sharpened by Eve‘ power of observation, she saw that most 0; the jewellry had disappeared. At thi» stage the cluthes were carefully furbished up, and were worn with a sort of defiant jauntiness, but to female eyes that lad seen him in the dressy Knightsford days the true state ofaffairs was plainly evident, and it was a state of affairs under which «Ar. Stone showed to particulsr disadvanâ€" tage. He was essentially a tailor‘s man ; a man who in a great degree was made by the cont. Wuatever imitation he had was the dignity of fine clothes, and with the gloss of the clothes vanished the gloss of gentlemankood that had served him for the substance of the genuine thing. In this respect he went rapidly from bad to worse so that in the course of a few months more he got to be about the last stage of genteel shabbiness. His whole outwerd man was utterly seedy and rusty. Hewas down at heel, and out at elbow, and genâ€" erally beâ€"frayed, and besmirched, and with the brands of dissipation deepene! upon hiz presented as mean and conâ€"| temptible a figure as could well be im‘ The present state of trade in Engiand will inflict a financial blow on the Trades Unions from which they will take long to recover. It is no secret that in many of the unions the funds are almost exhausted, and that in others they are gradually disâ€" appearing owing to the heavy demands upon them. _ Nor is this all. ‘The number of contributors is falling off. Men whose wages have fallen 25 or 80 per cent. find it dificult to continue to support the union, and they are the less inclined to do so now* Some of the artisans were foolish enough to believe that by joining & union they could permanently maintain the price of their lqbeur above the market rate. ‘This deluâ€" sion has now been destroyed, and in many districts it has produged a degided fepling of coldness towards ghe unions. Every ong would hope that as benefit rocieties the unions should be maintained ; but their economieal influence has been seriously and perhaps permanently impaized, Further reductions of wages are announeâ€" od in the Lanceshire eotton distric:. her sight ; and tbhough now that he had done his worst to Jim, her personal feeling towards him was of seorn, not fear, his appearacne roused painful memories, and produced a vague, but none the less opâ€" pressive, heaviness ef spirit. done, was to look at, and to handle and to count the money. She delighted to watch the hardly â€" earned and hardly â€" spared shillings mouoting up and up ill they could be changed for a sovereign, and she rejoiced over each andded sovereign as one more link in the golden chain that was to join her to her love. Under the severe labour to which she subjected herself, she wared somewhat pale and thin, but she was sustained by the brave beart within, and her health remainâ€" ed sound and unbroken, while the corresâ€" pondence between Jim and her, which grew warmer, and more hopeful as time rolled on, and the day of deliverance drew near kept her in good spirits. On the whole she was as happy at this period as under the gircumstances she could possibly hope to be, though there was one shadow tiat fell darkening across her path.
