He'd been saving up for years to get Buried, anil all the advice wc could live 'lm didn't 'ave any effect. He and up nearly every penny of 'is nms and gave it to Ills gal to keep lor 'lm. and the time I'm speaking of ihe'd got 172 of 'Is and seventeen and rjx of 'er own to set up housekeeping irlth.

Sydney and London being n long way (rem each other was In 'Is favor, but tbe thing that troubled Mm was 'ow to let that 72 out of Emma Cook, 'la London gal, so ns he could marry the olher with It. It worried 'lm nil the iiy borne, anil by the time we got Into Londou river 'Is head was all In a one with It. Uminii Cook 'ad got It ill saved up In the bank to take n little shop with when they got spliced, and oi to get It he could not think. He went straight off to Poplar, where tbe lived, as soon as t lie ship was tailed. lie walked nil tbe way so as to 'are more time for thinking, but TO with bumping Into two old gentle Eenwlth bad tempers and being near Ijnmover by a enhmuu with n' white 'ow and red whiskers, be got to the tense without 'nvlng thought of any- bhg.

"You ain't been drinking, charlier ses old Cook lu a puzzled voice. "Certainly not," ses Charlie. He was pleased to see 'ow anxious they all looked, nud when they did come to the sbop be set up a 'laugh that old Cook said chilled Ae marrer in Ms bones. He stood looking In a 'elpless sort o' way at his wife and Emiua. nud then nt last he ses, "There it is, and a fair bargain at the price." "I s'pose you ain't been drinking?" ses Charlie. "Wot's the matter with It V" ses Mrs. Cook, liming up.- "Coinc Inside and look nt It," ses Enunn, taking 'old of bis arm. ' "Not me," ses Clinrlie, hanging back. "Why, I wouldn't take it as u gift." Ho stood there on the eurbstoue, and all they could do he wouldn't budge. Ho said It was a bad road and a little shop, and 'ad got a look about It he didn't like. They walked back 'ome like a funeral procession, and Kmnia 'ad to keep Baying "Irs!" In w'lspers to 'er mother all the way. "I don't know wot Charlie does want, I'm sure," ses Mrs. Cook, taking off 'er bonnet ns soon ns she got indoors and pitching It on the chair he was just going to set dowii on. "It's so nwk'ard," ses old Cook, rub bing bis 'eud. "Fact is, Charlie, we pretty near gave 'ein to understand as we'd buy It." "It's as good as settled." ses Sirs. Cook, trembling all over with temper. "They won't settle till they get the money," ses Charlie. "You may make your mind easy about that." "Emma's drawn it all out of the hank ready," ses old Cook, eager-like. Clinrlie felt 'ot nnd cold all over. "I'd better take care of It," he ses in a trem bling voice. "You might he robbed." "So might you be," ses Mrs. Cook. "Don't you worry; It's In n safe place."

Three nights running Mrs. Cook went off to bed afore 8 o clock for fear she should say some thing to Mm us she'd be sorry for arter wards, and for three nights Charlie made Mnwelf so disagreeable that Emma told Mm plain the sooner he went back to sea ag'in the better she would like It. The only one who seemed to enjoy It was (ieorge Smith, and ho usi'ii to tiring bits out aud read to newspapers . showing 'ow sillv people was done out o' their money. On the fourth night Charlie dropped it nud made Mmself so amiable that Mrs. Cook stayed up and made Mm a Welsh rabbit for Ms supper nnd mude Mm drink two glasses o' beer Instead o' one, wlille old Cook sat aqd drank three glasses o' walcr Just out o' temper nnd to show that he didn't mind. When she started on the chandler's shop ng'ln Charlie said lied think It over, nnd when he went away Mrs. Cook called Mm her sailor boy nud wished Mm pleasant dreams. But Charlie Tagg 'ml got better things to do than to dream, and be sat up lu bed arf the night thinking out a new plan he'd thought of to get thnt money. When he did fall asleep nt last he dreamt of taking a little farm in Australia and riding about on 'orse back with the Sydney gdl watching his men nt work. In the morning he went and hunted up a shipmate of Ms, a young feller named Jack Hates. Jack was one o' these 'ere chaps nobody's enemy but their own, ns the saying Is a good 'arted, free 'nnded chap as you could wish to see. Everybody liked Mm, nnd the ship's cat loved Mm. He'd ha' sold the shirt off Ms back to oblige a pal, aud three times in one week he got Ms fnee scratched for trying to prevent 'usbands knocking their wives about. Charlie Tagg went to Mm because he wus the only man he could trust, nnd for over nrf nu hour he was telling Jack Hates all Ms troubles, and at last, as a great favor, he let Mm see tbe Sydney gal's photygrnph, nnd told him that nil that pore gal's future 'nppluess depended upon Mm. "I'll step round tonight nnd rob 'em of that 72," ses Jack. "It's your money, nnd you've a right to It." Charlie shook his 'ead. "That wouldn't do." he ses. "Besides, I dou't know where they keep It. Xo;. I've got a better plan than that. Come round to the Crooked Billot, so we can tnlk It over in peace and fpilct." He stood Jack three or four nrf pints afore he told Mm ills plan, and Jack was so pleased with It Hint he vanted to start nt once, but Clinrlie persunded Mm to wait. "And don't you spare me, mind, out 0' friendship," ses Charlie, "because the blacker you paint me tbe better I shall like It." "You trust me, mate," ses Jack Bates. "If I don't get that 72 Tor you you may call me a Dutchman. WMiy, it's fair ro'.ibcry, I call it, sticking to yonv money like that." They spent the rest o' the day to get her, and when evening came Char lie went off to the Cooks'. Emma 'ad arf exported they was going to o theayter that night, but Charlie said he wasn't feeling the thing, nnd he snt there so quiet aud miserable they didn't know wot to make of Mm. "'Ave you got any trouble on your mind, Charlie." ses Mrs. Cook, "or Is , ,1 .!

By thu time they sat dowu to supper J a llt'.lll.l an its unseilioiu as v inn ne tinsel,, i-rom worus ue let drop they all seemed to 'ave the Idea that the pollee was arter Mm, and Mrs. Cook wus Just asking Mm for wot she called tbe third aud last time, but wot was more likely the hundred aud third, W'ot he'd done when there was a kuock at the front door so loud nud so sudden Hint old Cook and young Hill both cut their mouths at the same time. "Anybody 'ere o' the niiine of Kmma Cook:' ses a man's voice when young Bill opened the door. "She's Inside," ses the boy. and the next miiiucnt Jack Hales followed Mm Into the room nnd then fell back, with a start, as he saw Clinrlie Tagg. "IIo, 'ere you are, are you?" he ses, looking at Mm very black. "Wot's the mutter?" ses Mrs. Cook, very sharp. "I didn't expect' to 'nve the plensure o' peeing you 'ere, my lad," ses Jack, still staring at Charlie aud twisting Ms face up Into awful scowls. "Which is Enimu Cook 7" "Miss Cook Is my uniue," ses Enimu, very sharp. "Wot d'ye want?" "Very good," ses Jack Bates, looking at Charlie ng'ln. "Then p'r'nps you'll do me the kindness of telling that lie o' yours ng'lu afore this young lady." "It's the truth," ses Clinrlie, looking dowu ut Ms plate. "If Boinobody don't tell me wot all this Is about In two minutes, 1 shall do something desprlt," ses Mrs. Cook, get ting up. "This 'ere er mnn." ses Jack Bates, pointing at Charlie, "owes me 75 nud won't pay. When I ask Mm for It he ses n party he's keeping company with by the name of Emiua Cook 'as got it, and he can't get It." "So she has," ses Charlie, without looking up. "Wot does he owe you the money for?" ses Mrs. Cook. "Cos I lent It to Mm," ses Jack. "Lent It? What for?" ses Mrs. Cook. "Cos I was n fool, 1 s'pose," ses Jack Bates; "u g.iod uatured fool. Any way, I'm sick and tired of asking for It, nnd if I dou't get it tonight I'm go ing to see the police about 11." He sat dowu ou n chair with Ms bat cocked over one eye, and they all sat staring nt Mm as though tbey didn't know wot to suy next. "So this le wot you meant when you said you'd got I lie chance of a lifetime, Is It?" ses Mrs. Cook to Charlie. "This Is wot you wanted It for, is It? Wot did you borrow all that money for?" "Spend," ses Charlie, in a sulky voice. "Spend!" ses Mrs. Cook, with n scream. "Wot In?" "Drink and cards mostly," ses Jack Bates, remembering wot Charlie 'ad told Mm about blackening Ms charac ter. You might ha' heard a pin drop n'most, nud Charlie sat there without saying a word. "Charlie's been led away," ses Mrs. Cook, looking 'nrd at Jack Bates. "1 s'pose you lent Mm the money to win it back from Mm at cards, didn't yon?" "And give Mm too much llckcr fust," ses old Cook. "I've 'eard of your kind. If Charlie lakes my advice he won't psy you a farthing. I should let you do your worst If I was Mmj Unit's wot 1 should do. You've gut a low face, u nasty, ugly, low face." "One o' the worst I ever sec," ses Mrs. Cook. "It looks as though It might hu"beeii cut out o' the Police News." " 'Owever could you ha' trusted a man with a fa.c like thnt, Charlie?" ses old Cook. "Come away from Mm, Bill. I don't like such u chap in the room." Jack Bates began to feel very awk'ard. They was all glaring nt Mm as though they could eat Mm, and he wasu't used to such treatment. Aud. as a matter o fact, he'd got a very good 'arted face. "You go out o that door," ses old Cook, pointing to It. "Go and do your worst. Y'ou won't get any money 'ere." "Stop a minute," ses Enimu, aud afore tbey could stop 'er she ran up stairs. Mrs. Cook went arter 'er, nud Mgh words wns heard up lu the bed room, but by nud by Emma came down holding her head very Mgh and looking at Jack Bates as though he was dirt. "How am I to know Charlie owes you tills money?" she ses. Jack Hates turned very red aud arter fumbling lu Ms pockets took out about a do7.eii dirty bits o' paper which Charlie 'ad given Mm for I O U's. Emma rend 'em nil, and tlwn sbo threw a little ircel on the table. "There's your money," she ses; "taks lnd go." Mrs. Cook and 'er father began tt call out, but It was no good. There's 72 there," sen Emma, who was very pale, "and 'ere's the rest" And she drew Charlie's ring off and th rowed It on the table. "I've dons Aitb Mm for good." she ses. with a I .oak nt 'er mother. Jack Hates took up the uuney and the ring nud stood there looking nt er nud trying to think wot to siy. He'd always been uncommon parUii to tbe UK, and It did stvui 'urd to stand ' there and take all that ou account nf Charlie Tagg. "1 only wanted my owu," he ses, at Inst, shuttling ubout the floor. "Well, you've got It." ses Mrs. Cook. "uud now you can go." j ""You're p'isonlng the air of my front ; parlor." ses old Cook, opening the I winder a little ut the top. ! "I"r'aps I alu't so bad as you think I am," sos Jack Bates, still looking at I Km inn. nud with that ho walked over to Charlie uud dumped down the money ou the table lu front of Mm. "Take It," ho ses. "and don't borrow any more. I make you a free gift of It P'r'nps my 'art ain't ns black ns my face." he ses. turning to Mrs, Cook. They was all so surprised at fust that they couldn't speak, but old Cook s What the ticker says is keep ing spectators guessing. What we say is, stop guessing when it comes to your tobacco taste If you are looking for a really good cigar, one that has the sweet flavor that every lover of the week longs for, you wll find it in the MOUNT HOOD CIGAR. 'Can't Uike Iff lliy tiotf" ta old Coofc, uUirtng. smiled at Mm nnd put the winder up ng'ln. And Clinrlie Tngg sat tbero arf mad with temper, looking us though he could eat Jack Bates without any salt, as the saying Is. "I I can't take It," he ses at last, with a stnmiucr. "Can't take It? Why not?" ses old Cook, staring. "This gentleman 'as given It to you," "A free gift," ses Mrs. Cook, smiling nt Jack very sweet. "I enn't take It," ses Charlie, winking at Jack to take the money up nnd give It to Mm outside ou tho quiet, ns ar ranged. "I 'nve my pride."' "So 'ave I," ses Jack. "Are you go Ing to take It?" Charlie gnve Mm another look. "Xo," he ses, "I can't take a favor. I bor rowed Ibe money, nnd I'll pay It back." "Very good." acs Jack, taking It up. "It's my money, nln't It?" "Yes," ses Charlie, taking no notice of Mrs. Cook and 'or husband, wot wus both talking to Mm at once uud trying to persuade Mm to alter his uilnil. "Then 1 give It to Miss Emma Cook," ses Jack P.ates, putting It Into her hands. "(!ood night cverylwdy. nnd good luck." He slummed the front door behind Mm nnd they 'card Mm go off down the road as if ho was going for lire engines. Charlie sat there for a moment struck all of n heap, and then he Jumped up nnd dashed nrtcr Mm. lie Just saw Mm disappearing rouud a corner, aud he didn't see Mm ng'ln for n couple of year arterward, by which time the Sydney gal had 'ad three or four young men arter 'er, and Emma, who 'ad changed her nnme to Smith, was doing ouo o' tho best businesses In the chan dlery line In Poplar.
