your interest in poor Benny. Lore

from tete lips of the astonished young
Mau. Then, in a quieter tone; he
aelted:
"What makes you think so, dear-

"Oh, In th,e first place, the strong
likeness! If you were dressed alike,
strangers might take yea for twins,"

The young earl smiled slightly, as
he said:
"The likeneee is Undeniable, But
do you not know that such likenesses
have been found to exist even between
nerSolls difterent nationalities?"
"Yes, my lord; but I fancy that in
every case there mut have been Rome

or even unknown. But the likeness
between you, nay lord, and my poor
friend Benny, is not the only reason
ha,ve for believing that he may be
your lordship's poor kinsman."
"Then whatenore, dearest?"
"Lord Wellrose, Benjamin was not
the child of the woman wlaose name
he bears, and who brought him up as
her own. He was a deserte'd obild,
Of unknown parentage. All that is
known of him is that: That he was
born in or near Beton Castle, the seat
of your grandfather, the late Baron
Linlithgow; and the only relics of his
childhood that be possesses are two
little articles, a sack and a sock, both
of which are embroidered with .the
eglantine, which your lordship knows
to be the symbol of the Seton-Linlith-
gows, just as the rose was the symbol
of the Sinclairs of Rolynee
"Yes," f3aid the earl, with a smile,
"and many of the daughters of Beton-
Linlithgow were named after their
flower, ae many of the ladies of Ilerslyn
were named 'after their rose. But go
on, my dearest Susan."
"Nor was there so ranich in all this,
had net the crest , of the Barons' of
Seton -Linlithgow been embroidered
among, the leaves of this symbolic
flower, the eglantine. That alone would
,have been worthless. Any lady of
the house ot Seton-Linlitligow might
have given the east -off earments of
her infant to any servant or peasant
woman needing clothing for hits cltild;
but taken in connection with. the
strong likeness between your lordship
and the possessor of these relies, I
think they mean. much. What do you
think, Lord 'Wellrose?" inquired Suzy,
looking intently into the face of the
earl. .
"Do you kiiow 'what you have stated
to be facts, rife dear Susan? And have
You seen these relics, as you call
them?" •
"Let inc be accurate," said Suzy, "I
know the likeness to be infant; and so
do you. I have seen. the relics; and
so may you. All the °thee facts I
have from hearsay; but I believe
them, and I believe they may be
proved."
"Well, my dearest, whether. this
young man may bave any claim upon
me from kinship or from mere hu-
manity, he has certain a tlaim strong-
er than either of these: it is that you,
my beloved, are interested in his fate.

he took the offered seat.
"Your lordship is retest heartily wel-

reseated hinaself at the table, and,
turning his face toward Ms ;visitor,
assumed an attentive expresslon.
"You have heard about this mur-

of all London."
"The 'murder of Stuart Fitzroy.
Yes, certainly: Who has not?"
"No one, probably. But I come to
you this. morning An behalf- of the
young man who is charged with the
murder, and whom I believe from raY
soul to be as guiltiese of that crime
as you or myself," said the young
earl earnestly. • .
"There is at least, no good evidence
against him. But, for the mureer of
Lord' Bt. Pain's eon, I suppose the
coroner and hite jury 'thought they
must commit somebody, right or
wrong, and so they committed this
poor young man. Do yen kncetv any-

-"Know him?" echoed. Lord Well-'

"Spoken like yourself., good friend!
Thanks," said the earl, as he opened
his pocketbook and took from it a
Bank 'of• England noto /or a hundred
pounds: which. he quietly laid upon the
lawyer's table ap a retaining fee. Then
he arose to depart.
"I wile net through a little pressing
business- Oh1e. forenoon, and early this
afternoon I will. see my new client,"
sMd the lawyer, .rising, to attena his
diatinguished visitor to the door.
The Este; of 'Wellrose went 'next to
Newgate. • • • •
He was well acquainted with the
Rev. Mr. Roes, the chaplain of Omen!,

viot's almoner to the poor and friend -

His lordship asked eon tile chaplain,
and was shown -tci his. reverenee's

Mr. Rens was not the same chaplain
wha"bad been in office there when
'Fkinny, the c.hild, had been incarcerat-
ed for burglary, and coneequently he
knew nothing whatever of the history
Of. the new prisoner, •Benjamin Hurst.
Bet when tbe near; of Wellrosa en-
tered the chaplain's, room the teeter
thought his lordship had only come
upon some benevolent eteatid to hint
as the Dachess of Cheviot's almoner.
The chaplain was quite knoll man,
With a 'tali, spare form, clef in a
threadbareesuit of black; a fine 'lead
head, adorned with a fetv •thin lacks
of silver hair, and a pale, .thin face,
with a holy calm upon it, full of. the
love of God and man.
' He arose to meet the young earl,
and offered him his hand, tend begged
him to sit down, and inquired atter
the good duchess, his mother.
Lord Wellrose thanked him and sit
down and replied sattsfactinein to his
questions, and .theub opened the subject
of his visit ..by asking the elutplain If
he had yet seen the new prisoner.Ben

see perfectly well how easy it was for
the thieves and outcasts who were his
only protectors, and who had won hiS

good qualitien to evil hoes. But these
evil uses were babits, that were no

quired the young earl.
"Certaiuly, my lord, with pleasure,"
'answered the chaplain, And he touch-

the summons,
The chaplain whiapered a few
words to him. He went out, and after
some moments a turincey entered and
respectfully .intimated that he was "at

Mr. Roes arose and invited Lord
WeIlroee to accompany him.
-The .turnkey led the way, and the
narl and the chaplain followed through
many 'passages, and up and down
7nany flights of stairs, uatil they came
to a row of cells, at one of which the
Men stopped and suddenly thrast in a
key, opened the door, and admitted the
visitors: '

TREATING.
(Grand Rapids Herald)
Treating, essentially an A ngto-euecon
custom, has done much to spread habits
of intemperance. Prince Collier In his
book on the Germans tells us that the
term "a Dutch treat" has a vital mean-
ing in the fatherland, whet: they go up-
on the sensible aseumption that trio man
who wants a drink should do his own
paying, and It Is considered jest as rea-
sonable to present a casually met ac-
quaintance with a piece of pie or a pair
of shoestrings as a glass of beer, The
treating custom is based on false ideals
of politeness. It makes a man drink
more than he wants or should have. An
antletreating society among us should
do more good in a year than a ton bf
tracts.
