Ere, give it 'ere," said Tibby, and she snatched the telegram from his hand. The boy, after inquiring anxiously witfere she usually bought her hats, and adroitly dodging a box on the ears, slouched off, and Tibby went up the 'stairs again. But half -way eke stopped, pondered for a mo- ment, then, thrusting the telegram in her pocket, went .down aga-in and into the street. When she had turned the corner she opened the telegram and read it. It ran: •• "I am unavoidably prevented from com- ing to you, I will write, . I am quite well, but grieving at not being able to see you. -Clive." Tibby read the %elegram through, count- ing the words and estimating the cost, then, with a savage nod of the head, the thrust the telegram into her pocket, mut- tering; uttering; "Of course! Just what might have been expected of the likes of him and his cense. He'll write, will. he? Not him! An" if he does, he's got me to tackle.

In after years Mina was never able to look 'jack upon that day or the two that followed it without a dull aching pain. ' The dark shadow of a vague trouble seemed to •tall not only uponher, but on the other two. Tibby appeared suddenly to have loet her capacity for scolding, and was almost as silent as Mina, at whom she every now and then glanced with a strange pity and yearniug iu her old - young eyes-, and on the evening of the third day she said abruptly. and without any leading up to the embjeot: "What did you say that trip to Margit 'would cost, father?" Mina happened to be out of the room, or he would have winked at her triumphant- ly, but with every sign of meekness he went into details 'with Tibby. "Well, it's a ridioklous notion," she said at last, with an ,air of reaignatlon; if you've set your mind on it I s'goee we shall be forced to go; for you'll worrit and worrit until we o, I know.

Should a man look upon his bread earning as all unwelcome task, to be hurried and done with confusion and at the risk of his health, with the hope of reaching an early per- iod of retirement when he may do what he will and really "enjoy, life?" But suppose a man can hoe to retire at an .early period and live thereafter without gaining work, is he justified in regarding whatever respectable occupation he has as it bore or as merely a method Of earning enough money to retire on? And, if he so regards it, is he likely to enjoy his retirement'! Re will make avery doubtful experi- ment. Whatever a man does dur- ing his active period he ought to do with such orderliness and: thor- oughness, as to get from: his daily and monthly and yearly labor the pleasure that comes from doinghis task well and the additional plea- sure of so doing it thathe.performs a real service. To do anything i wholly for the money it brings is not ' -`to do it well enough: And those men who contract • the habit of working wholly for the money are likely . thereby to unfit them- selves for, the enjoyment of a'period of retirement; for the right-minded man makes agreeable companion- ships in his daily work, he finds problems that call for all his brain and character—for endurance, for. fair judgment, for just dealing, for doing as he would be done by; and all these are the .very warp and woof of successful living.

Rafborough had not been called 'Dandy" Rafborougli for nothing; he had bean young for years, and bad looked, when Clive saw him last, little more than middle-aged; and he could scarcely believe that the Shrunken form, with the drawn, twisted face and hollow cbeeks, could be hie sprightly, youthful father.
