"Mad from Life's history,
Glad to Death's mystery
Swift to bo hurler,
,Anywhere, anywhere
Out of the world,"
As he glided on swift, - smooth
wheels along the broad h:nlbankment
from Westminster towards tho City
his eyes lit for a moment. on the
figure of a young girl wulkiltg close
to the river wall far on in front of
11101, It was a casual., almost tut
uncolsclaus glance, She ettug1it his
eye because sh0 was so straug'ly out
of kooping with the .glad Jun", morn-
ing, The air was brisk and the
sky blue. The beautiful world looked
its best. In. the gardens to the left
children sported, '11101 sparrow's
chirped, and flowers Woolliest; on the
right the bright river rippled and
s11ul'd in the sunshine. But in
every dine of that dropping figure
mfsory Made itself felt. SIIr' was, in
appearaneo, litho more than a child.
Tho shabby black dress clung close
to her slender form, told a thick coil
of yellow hair hong disordered over
her shoulder, She „calked swiftly,
yet falteringly, with sudden stops
and quick glances at the water. All
this the keen dark oyes of the num
noticed half -consciously ns he closed
in on her at the rate of ton yards
a secon11.
Ten seconds lora and he hod gone
by. and she in the sante 00 2u,•nt had
died; on so slight a thing life hangs,
But suddenly, just as 110 was close
behind, the girl swung herself over
the low wall of the Embankment,
Hud went down with a splash into
the watrr,
110 dropped of behind his hirycle
at t'0 spot where she had vanished;
his spinning pedal grated harshly on
the ic:>rbstone, and 110 was over the
-Lnlllluuc,t^'1t wall so swiftly after
her that it scvtucd bit, one plunge.
Ile saw the dark outline far clown
dimly through the water caul • struck
out for it, Tho liulp figure yiddod
liglctly to his touch as ho wont
piungillg up to the surface of the
river. Luckily the tide sot strongly,
and it dozen strong strokes with the
quick current carried flim to the
lauding -stage of the steamboats,
close tit hind.
A human cargo had just been land-
ed there; and a cheer broke out as he
rescued the. stage with his hurihon,
and a score of willing hands wtro
stretched to help him, But he need-
ed no help. Lithe as a rat 11e
clambered on to the stngo, making!
nothing of his burthcn. With
stlrngth and dexterity coulbined be
pushed o1• edgod his way rapidly
through the crowd, still carrying tho I

'To 1110 hospital, sir?" said the

the busy street into a quiet court-:

All round the place were men and
wolnru lazily breakfasting, ('hafting,
lounging, or Smr,king• in the shady:

into the hotel. Yet. not s,, fust but
he was reeognlzed by the fashionable
crowd that clustered in the scram-
doh or loitered round the door.
"It's Dr. VITian AIola, " said an ;
A.mr:ric•al, clr2n-81110ed nntl long-
faeed, who was dawdling over his
breakfast i21 tho verandah to the

"And the riehos1,'' added his plac-

"And the ltan1soaest," cried the

"Show me to a vacant bedroom,"
he said. hi that clear, 1020 tone
which begets obediea•e; "gat - hot-

a mutter of life or death!"
Very softly he ]aid his burthen
down on the deep velvety carpet of.
the roost. The water sli•oulned from
her in little ponds and rivulets, or
stood out in bright. round brads on
the thick tufts of the carpot. As
