But on the second point he was not left long without information. " I suppose," said Matthew after a pause, "Tem is not much cut up on accoent of he* death ? "Well, no, Matt," was the solemn reply; "he couldn't very well be cut up. Be did his duty by her, better than most men would have done—better than she deserved. It must be a relief to him, though he doesn't say a word." What does he intend doing?" "I don't think he has any plans yet. If* you are inclined to overlook the past, the best thing to do would be to let hien go abroad for a. while—not very long—and by the time he returned he would have got over everything." It was the very thing Matthew wanted, ut he was not going to say so. Ile there- fore took some minutes to think over it be- fore he answered. "If he wishes to go away for a bit—and to brae the past overlooked," he mid, tnea- suring out his words slowly and with em- phasis, you may tell him I will supply him with all the money he requires. But it will be on twoconditions—firs, thatheIeaves beigland at once ; and second, that he holds no communication with his inoeher or any one else until he returns.

" It will be a mercy if it dies," Joseph observed; "but. it isn't likely to die. Things of that sort die hard." CHAPTER III. —JEWS BABY. Matthew Bulbous was thankful when the daylight came at last on that Christmes morning. He rose at once, and wandered restlessly about the rooms below until break- fast In spite of his vigorous common-sense, the affair of theprevious night left a most urmasy impression on his mind. Not that he troubled himself as to what it really was —he knew this well enough; but he could not shake off a. superstitious fear as to what it meant. More than once he went into the study and regardecl thoughtfully the spot on which the visitor stood, His memory was usually excelleet in even small matters, but it disturbed, and annoyed him excessively to find that by no effort could he recollect where he had seen that face before. The strangest feet was his recognition of the face on this occasion without being able to see it. "At . anyrate,'' he reflected "the thing was an imposture. It was not Jent's wife, who was quite another sort of female. But where did I see this one before 2" It was no use vexing himself 'with the effort to remember. After breakfast, while he was impatiently wishing it were four i o'clock, an idea, struck him of aoingprivate- ' ly to Jem's wife's funeral. It would help to pass the time, and it would also be satisfying. He announced this Christian resolution to his wife, by way ofset-off to his uncharitable feelings of the day before, and left home. But he did not know the address, and much as he would eave wished to see the funeral without even his brother's knowledge, Joseph was the only person from ewhom he could get the addrees. When he arrived at Chelsea, bow - ever, the landlady said Mr. Soseph Bulbous was not at norne. Interrogated further, she said he had partioulary mentioned that he was going out to Penge to a funeral, the funeral of his nephew's wife, and that lie was not coming back until late in the even- ing. The information was satisfactory, in so far as it comfirmed the fact that there was no deception about Jbm's wife being really dead. Matthew Bulbous straightway drove to Victoria Station but took a train to Penge where he arrived in thirty minutes. Finding a four -wheeled cab atthe station, he inquired of the driver if the cemetery was far off—there was a funeral going there which he wanted to meet. The driver knew 1 all about the cemetery, and be also knew of a funeral for which a friend's equipage had been chartered—the name was Bulbous, and they would pass the house. Matthew got into the cab. After driving down themain street of Penge, they turned to the right up Croydon Road, and he observed with a feel- ing of reassurance a hearse and two mourn- ing coaches standing before one of the small villas which fringed the road'. • On the top of the hill there is an inn, where another road crosses Croydon Road at right angles, and from this spot, the ceme- tery was visible op rising ground about half a mile off. Matthew thought this -would be a good point to obtain a view of the funeral as it passed, as he could conceal himself in the bar of the inn. He detained the cabs therefore, and went into the house. Presentlyc,the funeral came by. The hearse was anhonest laeersessvith glass pan- , els, admitting of no deception as to a coffin. 1 being. inside. Next the hearse came the principal mourning coach,whese occupants he scanne nar ow y, u w a nervous start which attracted the curiosityof tke barkeeper. First, he recognised his son, with a band on his hat;; but beside him sat a lady heavily veiled in crape—the same person, if identity between substance and shadow were possible, who had.visited Mat- thew Bulbous the night before ! Her face was so thickly veiled as to be undiscernible to an ordinary eye ; but Matthew Bulbous's reocignition of it was (undoubted and start- ling For some minutes he was dazed ; but the purpose for whieh he came was still un- consciously active, and he followed the funeral at a distance in the cab. He was able in due time to see, from a safe place, the coffin lowered into the grave and the earth shovelled in upon it. Then he drove to another station, and got back to Black- heath by train. He was glad to have been able to wit- ness the burial without the knowledge of his brother, and he told his wife that, being unable to find. the address, he had not left London. Joseph, therefore, would be left in the dark. But he did not fuspect that, in passing the public -house, Joseph, who sat in the second coaph, had glanced into the bar as an object of interest, and had detected his brother's face through the door. ' At four o'elock Joseph Bulbous arrived, and after paying his respectsto the ladies, went to the study' and remarked that it was' ell over. •.' ' - - " All over, is it ?" said Matthew careless- ly, putting down the newspaper he had been reading. "1 thought of going myself, after all, and actually went to Chelsea. But you were gone, and I didn't know the address." _. ." So you came home again? Well, new I remember it, I never did give you Jern's address—you never asked me. However, it doesn't matter, I suppose ?" "Not in the least," said Matthew. Now, as the reader knows, there were two points on which Matthew Bulbous was particularlY anxious to obtaii information —namely, the identity of the lady who sat with his son in the first carriage, and wheth- er there was a baby. As to the first, his lips were sealed. for he would not divulge ^ ^ ing straight at him with an expression in her steady eye and well -set mouth—the lat- ter encircled by a growth of resolute bristles—which indicated strength of char- acter. Mrs, Griffon proceeded to Wetness without delay. She understood that Mr. B. —it was her professional practice to wee - tion names by initials—wished to entrust to her care AA infant whose father had gone abroad, its mother being deceased. She also understood that the baby was delicate, and hardly—all right. Mr. Bulbous re- gretfully implied that this was so. Then Mrs. Griffon uttered a sympathetic "Alt I" and pointed out how them was the objects as lived when other babies died— that sucli was her experience.; that they seemed to live on their misery, and generally did credit to their keep. Of course for the care of sea a baby as that, requiring extra attention and etceteras, termii was necessarily higher than ordinary likewise, as we never know what may hap- pen, there was doctor and feneral expenses to be considered. The result of the negotia- tions was the payment. to Mrs. Griffon (in cashl of fifty pounds, provisienally ; at the end of three weeks, should further arrange. ments be necessary, a small sum would be paid weekly for the ohild's maintenence. This sum would be so small that it would. obviously not be the interest of Mrs. Griffon to look forward to it. Matthew Bulbous rose and paced rapidly up and down. He wagpowerfully moved over this matter. Again and again, he, indignantly exclaimed in his angry thoughts that the woman might as well not have died at; all. But there was one thing clear. The baby 11111St go I—it must leave his path —it was a, tact with which no compromise could be contemplated. Did Joseph Bulbous, sitting there silent and, epparently e,bstrected, suspect what was passing, in his brother's thoughts? Pos- sibly be dM, for he was the only person who knew Matthew dowe to the sole of his feet —knew him, indeed, better than the elder brother knew himself. "You wouldn t care, Matt, I suppoie," he remarked thoughtfully, "for your wife to know about this haby? Women have such unaccountable ways where babies are concerned, you never know what they'll do. You wouldn't care, I suppose," Joseph ob- served mildly, to have the child in your b ouse For an instant Matthew glared sevegely at the mere suggestion, with the blood hot in his face. S? Look here 1" he exclaimed, with suppressed anger, "it would he ill for my wife, or for any woman of our family, to oppose me in this—ill for her and hers.. I'll have none of it Yon understand me ? I limp° Jern has not written to any of them about the child ? If he has, you had better for their own sakes, let thorn know what I say." "Re has not done so. Nobody knows anything about the child. But what do you intend to do with it ?" This reettired thought. There was one thing clear to Matthew Bulhoes—he must depend on hii brother to help him.out of this grave embarrassment. There was no one who could accomplish it better, if be had the will; and, notwithstanding the past, there was 40 oee else on whose fidelity be could so fully rely. But it would be neces- sary to confide in his brother if his agency were to be secured in this emergency. "What do I intend to do with ib?" Matthew repeated. "Von must help me in this matter, Joe; it is the last service I shall ask of you, and I shall not forget it when you are going. Now I'll tell you exactly how it stands," He related what had passed between him and Lord Polonius, and of course Joseph Bulbous saw the situation at once. There was a silence of several minutes. Then Matthew spoke again, but all he said was the monosyllable: " There are many ways of pronouncing this short word, and, the way in which Matthew Bulbous uttered. it now caused bis brother to draw a deep breath and slightly raise his shoulders. "What I have said to Lord Poloniu.s, Joe, must be made true, in facts The Thing is nob worth being in the way of a less im- portant business. I don't care how it's done or what it costs, so long as it is done safely. You understand .me now ?" "Very well," replied the other. "I am ,acquainted witha-seprivateinstiention,which Makes a specialty of that line of business. I'll see what I can do." On the next day but one Joseph Bulbous called at the office. James Bulbous had ate cepthd his father's proposal, and was ready to start for the continent that afternoon. Matthew gave his brother a roll of bank- notes for the purpose; and then the latter reported the gratifying intelligence that lie had arranged an interview for Matthew with the Lady Principal of the institution which he had referred to. Matthew made a grimace, as though he would prefer to 410 - die a personal meeting; and suggested the arraugement being entirely carried out by Joseph itutbsimp himself.0 ssible " replied the latter. " The lady is a lady of high standing in her profession, like yourself, and will only ne- gotiate with principals." On being.assured that Jern had. not com- municated m any way with his mother— whose knowledge of the baby's existence, gentle as she was, Matthew felt would have been unfavourable to his business—he re- luctantly agreed to attend at his brother's lodging at seveigoblock. He felt far from comfortable as he drove to Chelsea in the evening. The conscious- ness that he was taking a principal part in putting an end to a life that stood in his way, made itself very troublesome in a breast which was naturally cowardly. Matthew had, while keeping well outside of the law, taken a hand in shady proceedings before' now in order to make money; but he had never been concerned in so hazardons a matter as this. Nob that his moral sense was touched—it was the risk he was think- ing of; the infant's life itself was as nothing 'to him in eomparisoe with the advantages to be gained by putting an end to it. As he stepped out of the cab, he rallied himself with the reflection that this kind of thing was done every day—was, in a sense,. legitimized for want of bvidence to hunt it clown wnen done by careful professional hands. At his request Joseph went out as the lady. came in, for it was a business not re- quirmg a ' witness. Matheve glanced at her curiously, She wore as, reesSuring as- pect of "brismese ' in her countenance, look - Regular reports came to Matthew Bulbous, by request. No parent was ever more anxious. In three days he learned that, after all, the baby s vital- Ity did not seem so tenacious since its mother's death. Mothers, as Mrs. Griffon ex- plained, contrived to keep such things alive when all the attention and science of an ex- perienced nurse failed to do so, which was one of those strange facts no one was copa- l* of explaining. , Consequently, though far from desiring to alarm Mr. Bulbous, Mrs, tsriffon felt it her duty to prepare him for what might happen in .the course of nature. Joseph Bulbous ream to the office one morning At the end of a week, "The doctor," he stated gravely, "says it is ims possible to keep the child alive—hehas tried all his skill." "Oh, he has, hashe? "Matthew observed. Yes. Radical disease from birth call- ed it some hard name whieh 1 forget.— Mess. Griffon,' he added, wanted to leave town in a couple of days, to pay a visit to a dear friend who is ill ; hut she can't leave the baby in that critical condition." 4.••••="r Mr. Gladstone in qeeoh, • The Evening Post published at London thus describes M. Gladstone as he looked and spoke in the debate on the Clergy Discipline bill on Thursday evening: The right honorable gentleman was in' i excellent voice. It s trite to say so, but for years he has not spoken with so much resonance, with so much of that rich, fruity tone, so peculiarly his own, as he did last night. The sense of hearing was delightfel. His gestieulations, too, were remarkably dramatic. He emphasized his points by sweeps of the arm, by striking the papers on his despatch box, by swaying of the body Li a. museum- that would have been a, lesson to a past master in the art of gesture. He lived again in his youth. His back was as straight as that of an officer of the guards; his figure as lithe as that of a Greek athlete, and, as his intellect heated with thought, his face glowed with radiating expression, and his voice grew in Volume, ripeness, and obarm of tone. The House filled up, and he held all intellects as by a spell. His vitality is marvellous. " If we ask what is the secret of his wonderful voice the answer is obvious. It is in the possession of an exceptional. organ- ism. HIS Cheat is of extraordinary depth, even nosy. Though when he is walking across the floor of the ROHM he seems bow- ed and shrunken with age, when he in speak- ing his chest expands and. his shoulders are squared—an actual physical transformation takes place before one's eyes, Another obvious explanation of the quality of his voice is the rapidity and vividness with iwnhiichhisnstruetiidveettsiamtgronoungeetl into Irisulamininhdailiguelt fied with ideas and a physique whioh had defied age, it is no wonder, after all, that his voice should be so finely effective. Last night's speech was indeed a triumph, and none cheered more heartily than the political opponents with whom, for once, he was in cordial agreement." "Hasn't she some one to take her place?" demanded Matthew. "Yes, of course there is thee -the staff," replied Joseph, wiping some moisture from the corner of one of his eyes. "But, pro- fessionally, she feels bound to be in. at the —I mean, to be on the spot on each impor- taut occasions. However, the doctor says it is very likely she will be able to go." Matthew Bulbous drew a deep breath. He would give ft, thousand pounds for the whole thing to be over. He could not com- mand an easy moment until it was pastand safely buried in oblivion. "Joe," he said, "-telegrae.: to me ire- mediately—you understand? AM: Tevould like to know the nature of the disease. Ask the doctor to send me' a report, and I will pay him for it." Within two hours the report arrived by a messenger who was inetructed to "wait an- swer.' The report was scientifie and satis- factory, and Matthew Bulbous wrote out a cheque for five guineas and sent it to the doctor. Sending a cheque was not a prudent set, as he recollected after it was gone. The doctor, he was aware, or he suspected, was a confederate of Mrs. Griffon, and if any- thing went wrong, the °liege° might be awkward evidence of Alattliew Bulbous's relations with the parties. He had been careful to pay Mrs. Griffon in cash and without a witness. Now that it was too late Ise was annoyed on account of the cheque, march more so than another man would have been, .for Matthew Bulbous was in the habit of carefully considering minor details , in connection with important transactions. The hour of his deliverance was nearer then he expected, but it came accompanied by a fresh careumstamee of great vexation. At nine o'clock thee evening he had a telegram—from his brother, of course, though it was not signed—in the following terms : "Child died at seven o'clock. Will be buried to -morrow." Joseph Bulbous had bad large experience in framing telegrams in terms intelligible only to the receiver. Was he drunk when sending this, not to remember that it was a ease specially callingfor careful phraseology Matthew was excessively vexed, and took some time to cool down sufficiently to realise thefull import of the news. He felt puzzled and disappointed. It was curi- ous that the receipt of this momentous message, so anxiously awaited, failed to produce on his mind the effect for which he had prepared himeelf. The death of the unhappy infant Meant everything to his ambition, removed the one obstacle from his path, making all smooth to him. Yet he was not elated;'he hardly 'felt, satisfied ; and almost began to get angry against his own unreasonebleness ; and although he knew it was illogical and absurd, he felt a secretanxiety which he could no more root out of his breast than he could now—if he so wished it—call back tbe spark of life into the baby's miserable little body. Nobody, except his wife, knew that Matthew-' Bulbous did not go to bed that night. He could not restes- Hour after hour he grew still more restless and anxious, till the dawn. of a day of wrath fell on his shrinking face through the study whitlow. (To BE CONTINUED.) Breaking of The Voice. The peculiar physiological causes of what is called the "breaking of the voice" are not quite understood, but it is known to depend immediately upon an organic change in the larynx, the organ of the voice, which occurs in the male between the ages of folm- teen and sixteen. Before that age the larynx of boys resembles that of females ; but when the voice begins to break the -vocal cords become lengthened at least oethird, the angle of the thyroid cartilage becomes en- larged, and the muscles which connect the organs of the voice with the hyoid bone and base of the tongue become elongated. While the change of form is taking place the voice is unfitted for singing, and should be used only with great care In other words, the breaking of the vole° is due to the rapid development of the larynx which takes place at certain ages, and which leads to a change in the range of the voice. The peculiar harshness of the voice when it is thus "breaking" seems to be due to a tem- porary congestion and a swollen condition of the mucous membrane of the vocal chords accompanying the active growth of the whole' larynx. % Kindness is a language the dumb can speak, and the deaf can hear and under- . The prudent sees only the difficulties, the bold only the advantages, of a great enter- prise ; the hero sees both, diminishes those, makes these predominate, and conquers.
