Sitting in front of this picture,and staeing gloomily at it, as being the only thing whieh he could stare at, was a smell, sallow -faced boy with a large head, who in the intervals of his are studies munched sedetely at an Apple. "Is Mr. Smith or Mr, lefembery in ?" asked the Admiral. "There eine no such people," said the saaall boy. "But you. baVe the names on the door." "Ah, that is the name of the firm, you see, It's only e name. It's Mr, Reuben Motaxa that you wants." "Well, then, is he in 'I" "No, he's not." "When will he be back 1" "Can't tell, l'in sure. He's gone to lunch. Sometimes he takes one hour, and sometimes two. It'll be two to -day, I 'spect for he said he was hungry afore he went." "Then I suppose that we had better oall again," said the Admiral. "Nota bit," cried Charles. "I know how to manage these little imps. See here, you young varmint, here's a shilling for you. Run off and fetch your master. If you don't bring him here in five minute's I'll clump you on the side of the head when you get back. Shoo!

IN 9T3ANLIZ WATSP,S, When Dr. Walker had departed, the mire' pureed all his possesaione baokinto s sea-ohest.with the exception of one little ems -bound dole, This he =looked, and ok from it a dozen or so blue sheets of per, all mottled over with stamps and ale, with very largo V. printed upon e heads of them. He tied these carefully to a small bendle,and placing them in the ner pocket of his coat, he eeizea his hat d atiffir, "Oh, John, don't do this raah thing," ied Mrs. Denver, laying her hands upon eleve. "I have seen so little of you, hn, Only three years eince you left e service. Don't leave me again, know it is weak of me, but I cannot bear " There's my own brave lass," said he, clothing down the gray -shot hair, Veva lived in honor together, mother, d please God in honor we'll die. No atter how debts are made, they have got be met, aud whet the boy OWeli we OWe. • has not the money, and how is he to ud it ? He can't find it. What then'4 t becomes my business, and there's only ne way for it." But it may not be so very bad, John, ad we not better wit until after he sees hese people toemorrow ?" " They may give him little time, lass. ut 1'11 have a os.re that I don't go so far hat I can't put back again. Now,mother, here's no use holding me. It's got to be one, and there is no sense in shirking it." He detaohed her fingers from his sleeve, ushed her gently back into an arm chair, d hurried from the house. In less than half an hour the Admiral as whirled into 'Victoria Station and Til 11 Ri TIMES ound himself amid a dense, bustling hrong, which jostled and pushed in the rowded terminus, His errand, which bad owned feasible enough in his own room, egan now to present difficulties in the arryirg out, and he puzzled over how he hould take the first steps. Amid the bream of business men, each hurrying on is definite wey,the old seamen in his gray weed suit and black,soft hat strode slowly long, Ms head eunk and his brow wrinkled n perplexity. Suddenly an idea occurred o him. He walked back to the railway tall and bought a daily paper. This he burned and turned until a certain column et his eye, when he smoothed it out and tarrying it over to a seat, proceeded to ead it at his leisure. And, indeed, as a man read that column t seemed strange to him that there should till remain any one in this world of ours who should be in straits for want of money. Here were whole lines of gentlemen who were burdened with a surplus in their in- omes,and who were loudly calling to the poor and needy to come and take it off their ands. Here was the guileless pereon who as not a professional enoneylenaer,butwho would be glad to oorrespond, eto. Here, too, was the accomodating individual who advanced sums from ten to ten thousand pounds without expense, security,or delay. 'The money actually paid over in a few hours," ran this fascinating advertisement, conjuring up a vision of swift messengers rushing with bags of gold to the aid of the poor struggler. A third gentleman did all business by personal e•pplination, advanced money on anything or nothing; the lightest and airiest promise was enough to content e.conrding to his circular, and finally, he never asked for more than 5 per cent. This struck the Admiral -as far the most promisine,and his wrinkles relaxed aud his frown softened away as he gazed at it. He folded up the pa,per,rose from the seat, and found himself face to face with Charles Westmacott. "Halloo, Admiral!" "Halloo, Wes rmacott 1" Charles had always been tavorite of the seaman's. "What are you doing here?" "On, I have been doing a little business for my aunt. But I have never seen you in London before." "I hate the place. It smothers me. There's not a breath of clean air on this side ot Greenwich. But maybe you know your way about pretty well in the city ?" "Well, I know something about it. You see, I've never lived very far from it, and I ao a good deal of my aunt's business." "Maybe you know Bread street ?" "It is out of Cheapside." "Well, then, how do you steer for it from here? You make me out a course and I'll keep to it." "Why, Admiral, I have nothing to do, I'll take you there with pleasure." "Will you, though? Well, l'd take it very kindly if you would. I have business there. Smith & Hanbury, financial agents, Bread street." The pair made their way to the riverside and so down the Tnames to St. Paul's landing—a mode of travel which was much more to the Admiral's taste than 'bus or cab. On the way he told his companion his mission and the causes which had led to it. Charles Westme.00tt knew little enough of city life and the ways of business, but at least he had more experience in both than the Admiral, and he made up his mind not to leave him until the matter was settled. "These ,are the people," said the Admir- al, twisting round his paper ana pointing to the edvertisement which had seemed to him the most promising. "It sounds hon- est and above board, does it not? The personal interview looks as if there were no trickery, and then, no one coald objeot to 5 per cent," "No, it seems fair enough." "It is not pleaeant to have to go hat in hand borrowing money,but there are times, as you may find before you are my age, Westmetott, when a man must stow away his pride. But here's their number and their plate is on the corner of the door," A narrow entrance was flanked on either side by a row of brasses, ranging upward from the ship brokers and the solicitors who occupied blus ground floors, through a long euccession of West Indian agents, architects, surveyors and brokers to the firm of which they were le quest. A wind. ing stone stair, well carpeted and railed at first, but grovelng shabbier with every land- ing, brought them past innumerable doors, with, at latit, just under the geoundoglass roofing, the names of Smith and Hanbury were to be seen painted iu large, white letters amnia a panel, with a laconio itivitto tion to push beneath it. Following out the seggeetion, the Admiral and his oompaniot found themselvee in a dingy apartment, "lien fetch him," said Charles. "Let us make ourselves at home, This sofa does not feel over and above safe. It was nob meant for fifteen -stone men. But this doesn't look quite the Kat of place where one would expect to pick up money." "Just what I was thinking," said the Admiral, looking ruefully about him. "All, well! I have heard that the best - furnished offices generally belong to the poorest firms. Let us hope it's the opposite here. They can't spend much on the management, anyhow. That pumpkin - heeded boy was the etaff, 1 suppose. Ha, by Jove! that's his voioe, and he' s got our man, I think." As he spoke the youth appeared in the doorway with a small, brown, dried-up little chip of a tnan at his heels. He was clean-shaven and blue -chinned, with brist- ling black hair and keen brown eyes, which shone out very brightly from between pouched under lids and drooping upper ones. He advanced, glancing keenly from one to the other of the visitors, and slowly rubbing together his thin, blue -veined hands. The small boy closed the door behind him and discreetly vanished. "I am Mr. Reuben Metaxa," aaid the money -lender. "Was it about an advance you wished to see me?" ,) "For yon,I presume?" turning to Charles Westmaoott." "No, for this gentleman." The moneyelender looked surprised. "How much did you desirel" "I thought of £5,000," said the A.dmir. al. "And on what security?" "I am a retired Admiral of the British navy. You will find my name in the navy list. There is my card. I have here my pension papers. I get £850 a year. I thought that papers it would be security enough that I should pay you. You could draw my pension and repay yourself at the rate, say, of £500 a year, taking your 5 per centinterest as well." "What interest?" "Five per cent. per annum.

Oh, deer, dear, evhet is tide I bear ?" " What is it then?" asked the Admiral " Tut, tut 1 This is a great pity. Have you had rheumatic fever r " Never."' "Have you had genie serious illness?" " Never. "Ah, you are 'fen Admiral. You have been abroad—tropice, malarie, ague --1 know." " I have never bed a day's Innen." " Not to your knowledge ; but you have inhaled unhealthy air, and it has left its effeet. ou have an organio mur- mur—slight but distinct." " Is it dangerous ?" "It might at any time become so. You 'should not take violeut exercise." " Oh, indeed 1 It would hurt me to run a half mile ?" " It would be very dangerous." " And a Mile ?" " Would be almost certainly fatal," Then there is nothing else the mat- ter ?" " No. But if the heart is weak, then everything is weak, and the life is notr sound one." " You see, Admiral," remarked Mr. Metaece ; as the doctor secreted his steth- oscope in his hat, "my remarks were not entirely unoalled for, I Efall sorry that the doctor's opinion is not more favorable, but this is ainatter of business, and oertein obvious precautions must be teen." " Of course. Then the matter is at an end?' " Well, we might even now do business. I am moat) anxious to be of use to you. How long do you think, doctor, this gen- tleman will in all probability live ?" " Well, well. it's rather a delicate ques- tion to answer," said Mr. Proudie, with a show of embarrassment. " Not a bit, sir. Out with itt I have faced death too often to flinch from it now, though I saw it as neer me as you are." " Well, well, we must go by averages, or course. Shall we say two years ? I should think thatyou have a full two years before you," " In two years your pension would bring you in £1,600. Now, I will do my very beat for you, Admiral. I will advance you £2,000, and you oan make over to me your pension for your life. It is pure specula -- tion on my part. If you die to -morrow, I lose my money. If the doctor's prophecy is correct, I shall still be out of pocket. If you live a little longer, than I may see my money amain, It is the very best I can do for you.' "Then you wish to buy my pension ?" " Yes ; for two thousand down." " And if I live for twenty years ?" " Oh, in that case, of course, my spec- ulation would be more successful. But you have heard the doctor's opinion." " Would you advance the money in- stantly ?" " You should have a thousand at once. The other thousand I should expect you to take in furniture," " In furniture ?" Mr, listen. laughed. "Per annum!" he said. "Five per cent. e. month.' "A month 1 That would be 60 per cent, O year." "Precisely." "But that is monstrous." "E don't ask gentlemen to come to me. They come of their own free will. Tnose are my terms, end you can take it or leave it." "Then I shall leave it" The Admiral rose angrily from his chair. "But one moment sir. Just sit down and we shall chat the matter over. Yours le a rather unusual case, and we may find some other wayof doing what you wish. Oi course the security whiois you offer is no security at all, and no sane men would advance fire thousand pennies on "No security? Why not, sir?" "You might die to -morrow. You are not a young man. What age are you ?" " Stxty three." Mr. Metaxa turned over a long column of figures. " Here is an actuary's table," said he. " At your time of life the aver- age expectancy of life is only a few years, even in a well-preserved man." " Do you mean to insinuate that 1 ant not a well.preserved man ?" " Well, Admiral, it is a trying life at Bea. Sailors in their younger days are gay dogs, ancl take it out, of themselves. Then when they grow older they are still hard at it, and have no chance of rest or peace. I do not think a sailor's life a good one.' " I'll tell you what, sir," said the Ad. mire' hotly, "12 you have two pairs of gloves, Ell undertake to knock, you out under three rounds. Or I'll race you from here to St. Paul's and my friend here will aee fair play. I'll let you see whether I am an old man or not." " This is beside the question," said the money lender, with a deprecatory shrug, " The point is, that if you died to -morrow where would be the security then'2" " I could insure my life, and make the policy over to "'our premiums for euch a sum, if any office would have you, which 1 very much doubt, would come to close on five hun• dred a year. That would hardly suit your book." - "Well, sir' what do you intend to pro- pose ?" askedthe Admiral. "I might to accomodate you, work it in another way. I should send for a medical man and have an opinion upon your life. Then I might see what could be done," " That is quite fair. I have no objection to that." " There is a very clever doctor in the street here. Proudie is his name. John, go and fetch Dr. Proudie." The yoath was dispatched upon his errand, while Mr. lietaxa eat at his desk, trimming his nails and shooting out little comments upon the weather. Proseutly feet were heard upon the stairs, the money lender hurried out, there was a sound of whispering, rod he returned with a largo, fat, greasy.looking man lad in a men- worn frook ooat and a very dilapidated top hat. "Dr. Prourlie, gentlemen," said Mr. Metaxa. The doctor bowed, smiled, whipped, off " Yes Admiral. We shall do you a beautiful housefuli at that sum. It is dhe custom of my clients to take half in furni- ture." The Admiral sat in dire perplexity. He had come out to get money, and to go back without any, to be powerless to help when his boy needed every shilling to save him from disaster, that would be very bitter to him. On the other hand, it was so much that he surrendered, and so little that he received. Little'and yet something. Would it not be better than going back empty-handed ? He saw the yellow -backed cheok•book upon the table. The money- lender opened it and dipped his pen into the ink. " Snell I fill it up ?" said he. "1 think, Admiral," remarked Weatina- cott, " that we had better have a little walk and some luncheon before we settle this matter." " Oh, we may as well do it ab onoe. It would be ateurd to postpone it now." tletaxa spoke with isome year, and his eyes glinted angrily from between his narrow lids at the imperturbable Charles. The Admiral was simple in money matters, but he had seen much of men and had learned to read them. He saw that venom- ous glance, and saw, too, that intense eagerness was peeping out from beneath the careless air which the agent had as- sumed. " You're quite right, Westmacott," said he. " We'll have a little walk before we settle it." "But I may not be here this afternoon." " Then we must choose another day." " But why not settle it now " Because prefer not," said the Admin. al, shortly. "Very well. But remember that my offer is only for to -day. It is off, unless you take it at once." "Let it be off, then." "There's my fee," cried the doctor. "How much ?" The Admiral threw a pound and a shill- ing upon the table. "Como, Westmacott," said he, and they walked together from the room. "1 don't like it," said Charles, when they found tnemselvee in tbe street once more; "1 don't profess to be a very sharp chap, but this is a trifle too thin. Whet did he want to go out arid speak to the doctor for? And how very convenient this tale nf a weak heart was 1 I believe they are a couple of rogues, and in league with each other." "A shark and a pilot fish," said the Admiral. " I'll tell you what I propose, sir. There's a lawyer named McAdam who does my aunt's business. He is a very honest fellow, and lices at the other side of Poulteny. We'll go over to him together, and have his opinion about the whole matter." " How far is it to his place ?"' " Oh, a mile, at leaet. We can have a cab," "A mile ? Then we shall see if there is any truth in what that owab of a doctor said. Come, my boy, and (dap on all sail, and see who can stay the longest." Then the sober denizens of the heart of business London saw a singular sight as they returned from their lunoheons, Down the roadway, dodging among cabs and carte, ran a weather.stained, elderly man, with wide, flapping, blaok lidt, and homely euit of tweeds. With elbows braced back, hands clinched near his arm pits, and chest protruded, he riondelled along, while close at his heels lurchered a beep -birthed, heavy, yellow-Mouallaohed young man, who seemed Office where the Weyer ei the WeettnaeotVe was to be found. "There now 1" oried the Admire' in trinntph,"What d'ye think of that ? Nothing wrong, io the engine roo rn, eh 1" "You seem fit enough, sir." "Blessed if I believe the swab Wail a coal, floated dootor at all. He was flying false oolors, or I am Mistaken." They keep the direatoriers and registers in this eating house," said Westmemotta " We'll go and look him up," They did so, but the medical rolls con - Weed no snob name as that of Dr. Proudie, of Bread street. "Pretty villainy this r cried the Ad- miral, thumping his »hest, "A dummy doctor and a !ramped up disease.

August is a memorable month for Lord Wolseley says the Boston Herald. That month saw him designated successor to the Duke of Cambridge as commander-in- chief of the British army, and in August, 1855, his gallantry in the trenches before Sebastopol gained for him the Legion of Honor from Frenoe and the order of the Medjidie from Turkey. it was on Aug. 31, 1855 that Wolseley, then a captain of the 90th foot, serving as an assistant engineer, performed the feat of arms which won him the two decorations, and very nearly cost him his life'for he was so badly wounded that his body was drawn aside for burial. The story of the wounding is told by Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood in an article on " The Crimea in 1851 and 1894." It is wui en repeating, not only for the interest that attaches to the anniversary, but because it brings out in dietinot colors the surprising difference between trained vet- erans and raw recruits, even in a British army, where bravery is always looked for, and one man is assumed to be about as good as another. The regiments that .Lord Raglan carried to tne Crimea in September, 1854, were largely composed of old. soldiers, of sturdy physique and DAUNTLESS VALOR. These were the men whose personal prowess won, against great odds, the "soldiers' battle" of Inkerman. By the eummer of 1855 this splendid material had been pretty much expended. The hardy veterans were dead or invalided, and the troops who came out from England to take their place proved too often of veey inferior quality. "They were no longer," says Sir 'Evelyn Wood, "men in the prime of life, but weedy boys, and on the 26th of August when a Russian shell, bursting in the fifth parallel, killed a line soldier, his comrades not only retired, but refused to return to retrieve the body." The same lack of valor was shown by a British working party composed of newly arrived soldiers on the night when Capt. Wolseley got his wound. A small body of Russians had made a sortie against the British advanced works on the extreme right, where Wolseley wasstetioned, There W&8 no covering party at hand, "and the working party fell back in confusion before one•third of their numbers, in spite of repeated attempts of Capt. Wolseley to rally them." The Russians destroyed some fifty yards of the sap, and then fell baok to the Dockyard, ravine, from which they kept up an incessant fire. A Russian bat- tery, known as the Gervais battery, also played on the head of the sap, and in a snort time Wolseley's little party had twelve casualties out of sixty-five men. THE GALLANT CAPTAIN was at work repairing damages at the head of the sap, under a shower of bullets, round shot and shell, when he received the wound which so nearly brought his career to a premature close. Here is the description of the affair !given by Sir Evelyn Wood: " Wolseley was. on his knees holding the front gabion, into which a sergeant, working also in a kneeling position, threw earth over Ms captain's shoulder. The gabion was hell filled, when it was struck in the centre by a round shot from the Gervais battery. .Wolseley was terribly wounded, and, indeed, the sergeant pulled his body back without ceremony, intend- ing to bury it in camp when he mend the life of his officer was not extinct. Besides grave injuries in the upper face, a large 'stone from the gabion was driven through the cheek and jaw to the neck, where it lodged ; the right wrist was smashed, and a serious wound inflicted on the skin. Strange to say, he did duty, after a rapid temporary recovery, till the armies re- ernb:sre., k,ed, the skin wound becomine more serious later, when the bone hegan to ex- foiit Catherine's Generals. The soldiers to whorri Catherine was indebted for the glory of the Russian arms included Rumiantsof, the conqueror of Kagoul ; the savage Kainienski, who would bite pieces of flesh out of his men at the manceuvers,and who stripped his prisoners in 30 degrees of cold and cleaned cold water over them until they were literally frozen ; the Prince of Nasseu-Siegen, who was beaten by Gustavus Sweden at Svenskund ; Joseph Ribes, upon whom Wee written the unusual epitaph, that "by his own wits he became a good general, an excellent diplomat, and eveu an honest man ;" and, 1110EID ferreous of all, Sevorof, or Suwarrow. This celebrated general, who figured inaccurately in Byron'i "Don Juan," was never defeated in the field. He was short of stature, being only five feet four inches in height,. Savored was idolized by his soldiers. He had implicit faith in his star, his conceit was unbounded,and he be- haved something like araving lunatic. He would come out of his tent stark naked and turn somersets on the grass. His other eccentricities were equally amazing. At times apparently humane and averse to the shedding of blood, on other occasions he sanctioned the most awful massacres, It was his deliberate conviction that there were only three great generals in the his. tory of modern warfare—Turenne, Laudon and Suvorof.
