Something struck against the stony rock of her heart then, and pity gush- ed out, pity for the man to whom she had been so merciless, whom she had condemned • unheard, knowing the powerlessness of the mute 1-ps to open and clear Inra of the enarge with which he had been dishonored. Soon the little busy feet were stump- ing up stairs again, this time to the drawing -room, where, in a hidden corner, known only to hlmself, Daffy had. left an "ingin." that was inestim- ably dear to his faithful heart.' Elizabeth could not stop him -with any show of reason; so she followed him over the threshold of the darken- ed room, yes, even through the told- ing-doors and right up, to the recess, where Daffy fished out. his battered treasure, and hailed it with rejoic- ing. But coming away he missed. some- thing, and paused. "Where is your bed?" he said, "does you 'member, mummy, when us s'eep- ed down 'ere one n.ght,. cos you said you couldn't s' eep up stairs? How as did enjoy ourselves 1" And he hugged himself up together at the memory of it. "Dolly says," he added, shaking his dear little fair head, "you oughtn't to s'eep down 'ere by your lone self - naughty man might get in and hurt you, wiz no Daffy 'erejo take care o' you 1" "Come and see the white mouse, she said, and. led his dancing steps down stairs to the dining -room. The "Pink nen," was glad to see his young master, and did not bite him with his tiny teeth, as he usually did. Elizabeth when she explored his box with her forefinger. For awhile she sat and watched the little animal fro- licking round Daffy's small person - popping in and out of his frills, and playing at hide and seek in his curls - having by no means that horror of mice shared. by most people, and sim- ply loving all animals great and small Then came his dinner -for he had arrived early -and then he went to sleep, and Elizabeth watched by him, his dimpled hand held fast in hers. He would be almost entirely' in her care now, for she had thought it best for his nurse to remain in the coun- try, and Rose had more than enough to do already, now that she was maid and parlor -maid combined. Despair had lately made Elizabeth his prey, but the cloud was lifted now, as she looked upon the dear little com- panion all her own, whose happiness she entirely made and who must in fu- ture make hers. • In her misery she had hardly dared to think on this one priceless treasure remaining to her, and now, she hum- bly thanked God for it, and vowed that the touch of this little hand should hold her back from falling into such hopeless abysses again. When Daffy awoke ,he expressed himself ready to go out for a walk, and when deessed called upon Rose to fetch his mother's hat. "Nol to -day, lovey," she said, "mo- ther's tired. Rose will go with you." Daffy hung his head, bitterly. dis- appointed- But all his little life he had thought of his mother before him- self, and now he did riot urge his own claim, but, with a loving air of pro- tection, led her to a sofa where he made her lie down, and having stuffed every pillow in the room under her head, and carefully covered her feet with a large antimacassar, and softly kissed the top of her nose, he went away on tiptoe with Rose, keeping up an appearance of cheerfulness to the last. Elizabeth Iay listening to the little hushed steps as they went out of the door, and in foamy she passed with theta up the street. Would ev- ery one who inet him look coldly on the ohild foe his mother's and father's sake Was that little golden head to be bowed with shame already' for a sin that was not his 9" But if such glances fell, Daffy did not know it. He had not golle far when he stopped, puckering up his nose and brows. "Got a pain in my shoe," he Said, "take it out for mei" Rose looked Softly round. Only or- dinary dawdlers and passers-by were to be seen at the corner of a street that led at right angles to the house at the bade of ego. 1, "'We will go 0 the shoemaker and have it taken out." she stud, and he trotted along, well satisfied, beside her, down a small piece of street, across some mews Ind into a narrow alley, where the few TEE 4XETER TINES out, but Janin had turned his baok, • and made no eign. aiDonaffy'ri hs.)art ached as he went No • . 13 g, and his shoes ached a little too) he thought, and he wished it was his mother's head he held, and, not Rose's, for Rose did net love him -he krieW that in the core of his heart, though she was kind to him en.ough-and he and "mother" used to have ranch gay little walks and talks together 1 He wondered so mach whyshe nev- er came out now -she was not ill in bed, for she oould run bout and play indoors with hirn, but she always put him oft with "To-rnarrow, perhaps 1" Only to -morrow never became to -day. "rota must not talk to that oommon Mau, Master Daffy," said Rose, as they went away along the mews that be- gan at a few doors' distance from the cobbler's. Ilad they turtued to the right, it would have brought. them in less than a minute to the doer of No. 18, and Daffy objected to this round- about way of going home, and once tried to ex -plain to his mother that Rose brought hixn "miles an' xniles" out of the way. .13ut Elieabeth did not understand, and indeed, for the first time in kis life Daffy found a diffieulty in engaging her attention. For the day of the trial was then oear at hand, and, so far, Mr. Lat- rielle had discovered nothing to loos- en the halter that jack had placed round his neok, but the proraise had been wrung from him that he would not plead "Guilty." "If you do," Mr, Latrielle had said plainly, "you take three live -not one." "What do you mean?" said Jaolc, the blood ebbing from his heart, and leav- ing lilin pale as a corpse. Mr. Latrielle repeated word for word Elizabeth's message, a•nd Mien metier psiaounsse, according to his own imPrea- "She would not do it," exclaimed Jack in horror, "she is the gentlest creature--" and then he remember- ed what she had done, and measured possibilities by facts. "The gentlest women are invariably the fiercest on ocoasina," said Mr. Latreille, "and -she will keep her word. So now you know what such mad pleading means." And Jack did know -he was begin- ning to know' of what stuff Elizabeth was made. Mr. Latreille's mind was eased• on that score, but he felt that though he did his best, that best would be bad. True, he had accumulated certain evidence, and had one trump, °and in his hand; but he knew well enough how serious was the weight of evidence on the other side,. and Mr. Lemeare, too refleeted, not without some ewer- bity of spirit, that, if he failed, all the world would be there to see. • For was there not a chance that Mrs. St George would appear in eourt, and try to reassert those ex- travagant self-accusations that were the punishment she chose to inflict on herself for her unlawful loves? She had been clever enough in the device of getting her Laver actually do3niciled under the same roof with her, fancy a woman with those jewels finding it necessary to take a lodgeri but with ali her tneverness she had been found out. And. it she appeared, then there would be a scene, and the public loves a scene, and while individually hum- ane, collectively gloats over the ter- ror, anguish,• and guilt of a fellow - human soul. The attitude of a: mob ' or crowd toward any hunted thing must convince the most hopeful among us how much nearer we are in our at- tributes to the beasts than the god, and for one who will stand forth to • champion the defenceless, there will be a thousand ready and willing to stone him down. But neither friend nor foe knew what Dizabeth intended to do on that day. Nor did Mr. Lemaire know what he was going to do, either. To Be Continued. shops and tenements were poor and mean.

As old man, sitting at his benoh, looked up at the smart Frenchwoxnan, and gruffly asked her her business. A youag one, who worked with his baok turned to them, did not even lift his heed.

"She wiled him into ae chamber, She wiled him into twa•, She wiled him into the third chamber, And that was the mast ava." It was curious !low oaten Daffy's shoe wanted mending, and many sixpences were spent in repairs at, the cobbler's round the corner. But the old man who sat nose and knees over his bench, going doggedly on at work that seemed always Inter- minable, and which seldom brought in mucla money, always turned the child over to his assistant, and seoke gruffly to him and Rose, having no desire, now he knew their identity, to see thena there at all. He had been angry and offended at what he considered intrusion of the de- tectives on the privacy of his skylight, or rather on the attic beneath it, and blamed the whoie tragic affair as a direct injury to himself, and done on purpose to annoy him. What right had people from the "Yard," dressed up to look like gen- tlemen, poking about his bits of things, hunting for footprints in the dust, as if he were more dusty than other peo- ple, indeed, and measuring the wall outside to see its depth, and if it had any scratches on it, as if, at his time of life, he wanted to go climbing up and down it like a chimpanzee ? And it. was an insult, too, to ask him if he ever went out in the evening to fetch a drop of beer -couldn't a man who had lived forty years in one house do as he liked? Why, it was inter- fering. with the liberty of the British subject, and a thing by no means to be abided. And as to dragging ap an old man like him to give evidence at the trial, he didn't mean to go, un- less he were carried, and not to speak then, if he didn't choose. So when Daffy came in like a sun- beam, bringing his prattle and smile into the dusty place, the cobbler seem- ed to have put some of his own wax in his ears, and neither saw nor heard anything. Te be sure, Janin's bench was behind bira, and that chattering Frenchwo- man sometimes dropped into her own lingo, Nvideli, of course, no one there could understand save herself, but the sixpences were certain, and he could not afford to turn money from the door. And she was a good customer; she ordered as many as four pairs of new boots and shoes for herself' and Daffy, during the month that elapsed between the commital of Jack St. George a.nd the day of the trial, boots and shoes that were fitted, and tried on, or returned and • called for, till Daffy began to grow pale frora the amount of time he spent in the stuffy little place. jenin's sombre eyes resting on him, began to atter their expression strangely; so that one day, when he was kneeling down, Daf- fy ventured to put his hand on the man's swart head, and leave it there. "It's very 'et,' said Daffy, shaking his own, and the man, looking up from beneath the littie hand, held his breath, as if the angelic innocence of the blue eyes piereed his heart, and let a shaft ,of daylight into a pool of blackness and despair. "It aches,little master," he said. "Like moer's," said the child, with quivering lips ; "she's always got .a drefful pain here" -he pressed his hand down in the centre of janin's ebony locks, "and it won't let her sleep -not never." janin did not stir as he kneeled there, on,e palm pressed on the floor, the other still holing the half -fitted shoe on the child's fo4'. "And I gets a pairtoo, sorest:Imes," said Daffy, sorrowfully, "can't bear to see mother miserbul, and Daddy nev- er mines 'ome." Tbe tears rolled. down Daffy's cheeks, and his heart heaveci beneath his white worked pelisse as if it would burst. Janin put up his grim,y hand as if be would brush the tears away; then with something like groan, he bow- ed his head lower over the shoe and drew it on, beginning to fasten its tiny lamas with trembling hands. Rase had looked on, pallid and fierce during. the little interlude, and now she said something swiftly to him in French, which he seeraed neither to hear nor heed.• Meanwhile Daffy, who WAS a brave little person, swallowed his tears, and had (fajta eomposed himself vvhen Iloee took his hand to lead hint away, "Good -by, Slain," he said, trienlog to nod his golden head as he went CAST FH For Infants and Children.

A war of inagnafteent clistances-'the phrase fits and epitomizes the present conflict in South Africa. . Probably only once before in he world's history has such a large army been sent so far on a way or conquest, involving, a plunge of several hundred miles into a continent. That was the task of Great Britain) in the Indian Mutiny, when she sent about 50,000 men around the Cape of Good Hope to save laer empire in the East. The factor of diStaL00 is easily the most important one in Sir Redvere Buller's campaign. Practically his entire force must be taken from En.g- land, six thousand miles awa.sit by sea, an eighteen to twenty day voyage for the average transport.- Should he de,* ado to land his military laost, as is shrewdly guessed by home experts, aV Port Elizabeth, Port Alfred and East London, or even part at Loarban, it means from one and a half to three days more steaming to port.. 1 These are all seaports round the corner, as it were, from Cape Town, the politi- cal centre of South Africa. . When the 50,000 or 60,000 men of Bul- ler's corps are disembarked from the soores of streaeciships -transportation difficulties of great moment confront them. Without the railway theme could not be overcome, and even with the railway they constitute a huge military task. It can be assUltled that the present Natal campaign is only an incident, though a Woody One, of the war. The more serious and decisive combats will come when General Buller hurls his troops over the southern border of the Orange Free State on his way to Pre- torra. This is the well defined plan of the British commander, according to trustworthy reports, and is not likely to be modified greatly by even the trapping. of Sir George White in Ladysraith. PORTS FAR APART., From each of the, three Cape Col- ony ports, Port Elizabeth, Port Al- fred and East London, runs a line of railway northwesterly toward the Free State frontier. By no line is the distance to the enemy's country less than two hundred, miles. • Whether the troops be forwarded all or part of the way by train, weeks will be con- sumed in organizing them into col- umns and gathering together all the horses, artillery, war material and food indispensables for such a host.
