Then gwisg the lad a 6tty-oeit piece and
refusing to wait uetll he went to get change
for it, t.orge Meredith strolled off N his
hotel, his solitary dinner and bachelor
apartment..
'Odd,' he thought, 'bow much that boy
reminds me of some one, I ain't think who
it ie. Some one who had just such big blue

Sunny day. of wedded h•ppisee followed
her happy girlhood. Children Dame to
bleat her, and when her parents died, her
bighead, her eons tied daughters oot.oled
her. She was past thirty years old when
trouble" came thick. fast. overwhelming
Two children died on the tame day. of •
prevatling fever, and before the month was
over• her husband followed them to the
grave. He had been • clerk, or a moderate
Mazy, and the nett egg in the bank was
very small, yet the widow looked at the
little ones left her and strove to faoe her
fitters bravely. It was the pitiful story to
be beard every day irregular work poor

from a conntr) home to a crowded city, in
the hope of better weak and wages, proved
• failure, and the air of a crowded hese-
moot house diverted and imitated the chil-
dren, who died one by one, till oaiy her
baby• George Meredith Seett, was loft to

Whole "be muead and wept over thio
panorama of ber life, wondering • little
that some long put memory had made her

He expt•ined very courteously that Mr.
Meredith bed requested him to see if hie
profesioeal serytar would not help ber.
and examleed the arm. Has directions
were brief, and he left her to wonder if in-
deed her old friend was the gentleman who
was belptwg her boy, end whose card ley
between the leaves of the Rtb'e,

'Delicate woman, evidently a lady. Arm
door very well. but Ireton.' health at the
lowest ebb. Wants good food, better air
and. above alt, mental quiet. Fretting her-
self to death.
1;eorge Meredith being ooe of those rare
philantrophists whose left hand knew not
the good deeds of his right band, made no
parade of generosity. 11 Mrs. Scott ruin

op* with a generous gift of tank notes. It

hesitated to order.
In these weeks that followed l:eorge'e en-
gagement as errand by to Mt. M.r.di'h,
the boy woo his way for into the heart of
the bachelor lawyer. For yeere, atter bis
rejection by Agnes Welides, he bad lived a
busy life, trying to forget the pain of his
broken love dream in his emblem. A man
always reserved, oaring nothing for satiety
he had given to his old fri.ed's child the
ooe love of his life. never striving to replace
her image is hie heart, never ase clog to add
family joys to hit scheme of life. It would
be too much to toy that he had sotareoovsr-
ed in the years that followed his disappoint-
ment, from its sting. As tilos rolled on
there were often meths whim he nater
thought of hit old love ; and whoa be took
George Soot( into hie employ, her iwrge
was entirely buried under the varied intr-
esta ot his career of profeesiosal usefalnee
and polities! interest.
Rut the boy .tirrd sew web springs in
his heart, of love and Preliesem. H. was

he was trusted with many arrable.het Mr.
Meredith would have hesitated to give to a
boy of less nauseant and fotellig aao, and
hie gratitude made him ever eager to de his
best to pleas, his kind friend.
