No; I was determined I would put no
confidence In Mr. Montgomery. Martha
now pressed upon me the necessity of
making some change In my attire.
She took me to a second-hand clothes
shop, where, for a few dollars and my
old coat to boot, I procured one "like
what civillicd people wore." aa Martha
phrased It. I bought a hat and necktie
at the aame place. Then she took me to
a barber's.
When I looked In the glass I found
myself completely metamorphosed. I
could scarcely recognize my own face
and figure. The kind-hearted girl was in
raptures.
"There! I don't believe old Porter
himself would know you!" she cried,
While my money lasted I insisted upon
paying so much for my board. Day by
iay ray money dwindled down, until I
had not a penny left. Martha tried to
cheer me with the assurance that some
thing would "turn up" soon, aud that
when tilings came to the worst they
were sure to mend, and such like bits
of homely wisdom; but 1 was almost
hopeless.
At one time I thought of writing to
Mr. Jonathan Itodwell, to ask him If he.
could assist me In any way: he had told
me to do so if alt else railed; but, then,
he bad made an express stipulation that
I was to tell him ererythlng. How little
did I know myself! Aud even of that
little there was much that I dared not
rcTeal. llcsides which, the nearness if
his neighliorhood to Bury St. Edmund's
.would make auy confidence dangerous,
for what was more probable than that
he would, apply to the Iter. Mr. l'orter
for a verification of my statements, and I
thus give ttiat contemptible man a clue
vo my recapture.'
Day after day I walked through the
streets, seeking employment. I applied
for a clerkship, for the situation of light
porter, for that of messenger, or even
eriand boy; but no person would en
cage me without reference, even in the
humblest capacity. At t'aies," 1 almost
fainted with heat and lack of food. I
felt snch a poor, wretched waif among
all that busy life, that eager crowd; ev
ery one seemed to hare a purpose, work,
except myself: I seemed only fit to creep
fnto a comer and die a mere useless
Incubus upon the world. I hare stood
upon the bridges, as mauy poor wretches
hare done before me, and will continue
to do while this stony-hearted city ex
ists, aud looked down upon the .turbid
stream that flows beneath: while a voice
whispered in my heart, "There you may
find peace! Why do you hesitate? You
hare neither father, mother, nor friend
to weep for you. Death will gire rest
to you, and do uo wrong to any living
being."
Thus did the tempter tempt me, aud
only by prayer could I subdue the temp
tation. At length I avoided the neigh
borhood of the river, which began to ex
ert such an Irresistible fascination over
lue a fascination that I felt must over
power me at last, if I did not fly from it.
1 now took to wandering about the
parks. It was there that an Incident
occurred to me that changed the whole
current of my thoughts and actions.
CHAPTER XII.
It was about 0 o'clock on a fine bright
evening, at the latter end of September;
I had been walking the streets since
10 that morning, making a last effort to
obtain employment. I might aa well
hare asked those I applied to for their
purses. Where had 1 been lost? To
whom could I refer for a character? I
had nerer worked before I knew no one
who could give me a character. Their
manner changed; they looked upon me
as a suspicious Individual, and I could
perceive that watchful eyes followed ml
until I was clear of the premises. I had
made up my mind that I would return
to Martha's no more. I could uo longer
endure being u burden upon a stranger.
I drugged my weury limbs along a
road, meeting liuppy looking couples rind
well-dressed people at every step, but
no one like myself. It seemed as though
all the misery bad been swept off the
fuce of the earth, and I alone had been
forgotten. I passed a first bridge, and a
second; Just beyond a portion of the
hoarding that separates a park from the
banks of a canal was broken away.
Upon that spot I threw myself down and
gazed upon the dark, sluggish waters.
I begun to picture In my nilud the
finding of my body the next morning;
how it would be dragged out of the
water by books; how they would search
it for papers, or other means of identifi
cation. The tears were streaming down
my face, and, unconsciously, I was sob
bing uloud. Suddenly I was startled by
a light touch upon my shoulder, aud a
soft, woman's voice sounding In my ears.
"What Is tho matter' are you 111?" it
said.
I turned round and half rose from my
prostrate position. The sun had set, and
gray shadows were veiling the daylight;
the thick, henry trees darkening It yet
more where 1 lay. My e.es were blur
red with tears, ami 1 could not see dis
tinctly; but I was sensible that a wom
an dressed In black was kneeling behind
tne. She started back, halt fearfully,
aa I moved; but something In my face
seemed to reassure her, for the next mo
mint she again advanced. I bimlied
away my tears, rose to my feet and look
ed at her.
She seemed alout twenty; her figure
very slight; a sweet, pale, melancholy
fare; and light, golden hair, that tell In
natural riiiRlets down upon her shoul
ders. While I looked, n thrill ran
through me. Was I dreaming! had my
troubles affected my brain? No, It was
she! My eager looks again frightened
her.
"I hranl you sobbing, and 1 thought
you were 111," she said, timidly. "Is
there anything I can do for you? If
not, pray pardon my intrusion."
She drew further away from me as
she spoke. Jo: I could doubt no more,
That soft, musical voice, that had haunt'
ed me In my sleep whose tones had neV'
er ceased reverberating in my soul, from
the hour In which I had first heard them
-was still the same, although the fare
and form had grown older.
"Do you not remember me?" I cried,
In n trembling," eager voice.
She thought I was mail, and a look of
fear crept over her, but no sign of rec
ognition.
"Do you not remember llury St Ed
mund's the night I met you under the
old gateway five years next monthr
At the mention of Itury St Edmund a
I could see her face quiver. She paused
for a moment after I had finished speak

ed steadfastly into my face.
ies; It is the same, she said. In f
low voice. "How strange that we should
meet again! I hare often thought of
you."
I have never ceased thinking of you!"
I answered. And I could not help my
tone being a passionate one.
She did not appear to remark my
manner, but seemed half lost In reverie.
We were now walking away from that
dismal spot; the keepers were clearing
the park.
Do you know." she said, speaking
suddenly, that I thought you were go
ing to throw yourself into the canal, and
that was why 1 spoke to you? Your
eyes were fixed with such a strange look
upon the water, and you were moaning
so sadly.
I shuddered. Already, the thought of
my meditated crime terrified me. The
despair was lifted off my heart in the
last few moments, and life seemed worth
preserving, after all
She seemed to read my guilt In my
tell-tale looks.
Itut for you, I should now be lying
at the bottom of that canal!" I answer
ed, in a low tone, and my tears fell fast.
They relieved my sudden revulsion of
feeling,
Anil I hare saved you from such a
wicked deed! It makes me so happy to
think so!" she murmured. Hut why did
you wish to drown yourself?" she asked.
"ltecause my life was so wretched, so
unendurable because I hare uo friends,
no employment, no hope!" I answered,
mournfully.
"I hare no friends," she answered. In
a sad rolce; "but I have never wished
to destroy myself; it would be so wick
ed." "Ob, I will nerer think of it again!"
I said, eagerly.
"Hut if you have no friends and no
employment, you must want money. I
can spare it; indeed I can. I give away
a good deal. It will please me so much
If you take it."
This was said in such a simple plead
ing time, so unconscious of offense, that
It could not have mortified the most sen
sitive delicacy. But I could not actept.
"Please not to ask me; I cannot take
it," I said.
We -walked oil until we came to a
street of small, pretty houses.
"I live there,'" she said, pointing to
one which appeared to have beeu re
cently built "I airi late to-night; Mrs.
Wilson will wonder where I am."
"Is she your sister?" I asked, haz
arding a guess.
"Oh, no my landlady. As I told you,
I have no friends."
"How rery remarkable the coincidence
has beeu!" I said, after an awkwurd
pause. "Do you remember when first
we met?" ,
"You must not talk of that, pleuse,"
she Interrupted, hastily, with a shud
der; "nor set me thinking of that time,
or I shall see them all night in my sleep.
But I must wish you good night."
"Aud shall I not see you again?" I
said, mournfully.
"You shall come and see me, if you
like," she said, innocently; but added,
uext moment in a doubtful tone, "I do
not know what Mrs. Wilson will say
about It. Perhaps It is wrong. She
knows all these things so much better
than I do."
My countenance fell, and she obserr
iil it for she went on in u compassion
ate tone; "But it is so hard to hare no
friend uo one to speak to, and no em
ployment! I am so much better off than
you! I hare n good, kind friend to talk
to, und to be good to me, In Mrs. Wil
son; and then I hare plenty of work.
You shull come nnd see me, and I'll coax
her to be good to you."
It was now quite dark. I could hare
Muttered there all night listening to her
voice, gazing upon her fnre. Hut she
held out her hand. I pressed It, aud
wo parted.
But I could not quit the street. I lin
gered about a long time, until lights be
gan to appear In the bedrooms of the
houses. I arrlred at Itackstraw's build
ings a little before eleren. Martha was
quite uneasy, for I had nerer before
been later than 10 o'clock. I told her
that I had lost my way,
"Why, you don't mean to say you're
been wandering about erer since? Where,
erer could you hare got to? How flush"
ed you lookl Whatever bare you been
doing? I nerer saw you look like it be
fore." I tried to eat, but the food wai dry j
and tasteless In my mouth, t was over-1
cvcltcd. 1 was conscious, however, that
Mr Montgomery had again scanned me
with the snme scrutinising gase that had
made me so uncomfortable the first
morning I met him. 1 had scarcely seen
lil'n or Joslah since. 1 was usually out
before they were up In the mnrulng, and
in bed before they returned from the
theater at night. They wore unusually
early that evening, and 1 was unusual
ly late.
I "You can write a round, plain hand,
! can't you, Mr. Carston?" at length said
Mr. Montgomery. "Then you're Just
the man I want. I ran give you some
copying to do. The pay Is small, but
a little, perhaps, may be better than
nothing, until you get something mora
profitable to do.

I went to bed that night with a light
heart. 1 should rise the next morning
to earn my first money. She was tho
good angel of my destiny; she hud saved
my life, and hope had nt last dawned
upon me. I fell asleep thinking of her,
nnd her Image followed me throughout
the night, liagerly did 1 nwalt the ris
ing of Mr. Montgomery uext morning.
"He takes a great Interest In you,"
said Martha. "He's always asking me
If jrou've got anything to do yet. or any
prospect, and he drops In other sly ques
tions now nnd then. Mr. r'itzwnltnn
seems to have told him all he knows."
It was 11 o'clock before I sat down
to my work. I soon understood whnt I
had to do, and set about It with n In-arty
good will.
"There! didn't 1 tell you. Master Silas,
that when things come to the worst
they're sure to mend?" cried Martha.
"Von did," 1 said, pressing her hand.
"1 was a heathen to doubt It."
She little knew how fatal that doubt
had like to have become. When(Jostah
and Mr. Montgomery returned at night

bridge of his ship, describes an ex
perience during their student days,
when the young Japanese got the best
of a hazing party. The New York Sun
prints the story:
A pluckier fellow than Matsmulln.

He wns graduated In 187.1. Part of the

At the ncadetny ".Mats," ns he was
called, was very opiihir, nnd be wns
a midshipman when hazing wns nt Its
worst. The Jnps hail never heard the
word haze, and had no conception of
Its meaning.
One night, hearing n good ileal of
noise In their room, I went over, ami
when I opened tho deor all I could see
was a dense smoke out of which canin
several arms. I was Jerked Into the
room nnd the door closed. Tho Jnps
were being treated to a smoker. The
windows were nil closed, and even the
keyhole and crack under the door were
stuffed.
On the narrow mantelpiece stood the
future Japanese hero, Matsmulln, look
ins like one of his old-falitoned Idols,
but as smiling as a basket of chips.
He was ordered by the liazers to sing
n song In Greek. Of the langnnge he
knew but two words, Alpha and
Omega, and these he worked on so
cleverly and with such good nature
that he wns lifted down.
Both the Japs took the medicine,
with a pluck that wns their salvation.
In half an hour the air In the room
wns unbearable, nnd even the hners
began to weaken. Two of them found
It convenient to get out. Then Mat
spoke up.
We sorry you third-class men have
engagement" he said. "We lue you
stay and smoke another pipe."
Not n word was spoken, .Most of
tho third-class men were nt that stage
when they did not dare to open th,lr
mouths.
I don't know how lone wo could
have stood It. I confess that I did not
feel altogether happy myself when
Mats said:
Any third-class gentleman llko all

The mere suggestion drove one of
the hnzers out. Then ono of them crlci!
out Hint the olllcer of tho day was
coining, and they nil tossed their pipe
Into the clilmney-plncc and ran.
It was n subterfuge to enable them
to get out Mats hud smoked them
out, "Thlril-clnss men not smoke
much," he said, with u In ugh, ns they
disappeared.
What clinched his popularity was
that when the ollloer of the day did
come alone Mats' room was still full
of smoke, nnd Mntsmulln took all tho
blame for the vlolntlon or the rule
ngalnst smoking, and did not give the
lingers awny.

Except on the Pacific const barley

fact that It Is In such demand for
brewing purposes that It Is high In

It is frequently posslblo to secure at n

to rnln or fog during harvest mid

The barley grown on tho Puclllc const

horses unground barley, and it Is used

ally recognized. Barley may be fed

In the matter of rlliuntr; In n dry dis

gives the best results with n grain
crop, at least. Often the best wheat
has been grown where tho surface
was disked to clean off the rubbish,
and the seed drilled III down to the
hard, unmoved soli. The reason of
this Is Hint in n dry district the plant
has to depend largely on the grouud
moisture, which rises by capillary ac
tion much better through llrm soil than
through !onsi plowed l.ind. Where
bare fallowing Is practiced on stiff
clays, then the shallow system. Is Hie
best, for It means ever so much less
soil to move per acre where there are
repeated plowlngs, cultivations, etc.,
to be done. On the whole, probablv
shallow plowing, combined with an oc
caslonal stirring of the subsoil with n
auhsollcr attached to the plow, Is the
beat.
