Redid not sleep much,, and when he did he was aware of •that helpless,bleed- ing form which he had s:u:pported in his arms. Once he dreamt that he had been the murderer of Thirsk, and woke up in a sweat of•agony. Then bre realize ed how justly Christ declares the man who harbors murderous thoughts to be as morally •guilty as the man who puts them ip practii;e. ` He got up.. several times during the night to kneeland thank God that he, had given him grace to save the man who in his heart he.had Often longed to kill.. In the morning he had a note from Eleanor: An eminent London surgeon had been telegraphed for ; bat the local physicians thought the case almost hopeless: There was already violent i-nflamimatiei of the brain. The motive for the attack had evidently been rob- bery. Thirsk had just drawn' .a large sum from the Spinner's Bank, and both it and his watch and rings were gone. Jonathan went to the police station,and described as well as he could the men whom he had seen upon the common. Safer, he had done his full duty, and be tried to dismiss the subject from his mind; but the very absence of Eleanor kept it present. That he should have sent her back was only a part of the miracle When he entered the parlor the thought was not in his mind. The. advice be had given her sprang uncon- sciously to his lips ; it had been no more the outcome of histown heart than was the humanity of his action to his bleed- ing enemy. " It's a' the Lord's doing," he kept assuring himself, " and he'll knew what's to be t' end' of it for it caps me." It being. Christmas Day helped to in- tensify and rivet the impressions of the -circumstances. He" gave mach larger gifts to his household than usnal,though he had never been lees able to afford them ; and, after eating his solitary dinner, he remembered that there was a festival at the chapel for the poor chil- dren of the congregation, and he de- terminedto go and add something to its provision. for them, though it should be only a penny to each child. It was a little effort to leave his warm, bright room,and go out in the dark and slush ; for a drizzling rain h -ad come on at noon, and with the rain a quick thaw. But he was still under the wonder and glow of gratitude for the good action that had been forced from him, and he plodded onwith quick, resolute steps. He had changed a couple of • sover- eigns into pennies, and was soon filling the small hands outstretched to him.. " These are for spice, little 'ens," he said ; "tell your mammies Crowther said on were to buy toffy or owt you liked. with 'em." And if a man wants to taste the delight of genuine gratitude he must cater forthe happiness of. chil- dren. Crowther got fully his two sover- eigns' worth of pleasure, and, with a lightened heart, frastfal and trusting,he turned homeward again. As hepassed the police static he saw Sarah Benson come out of it. 'The drew her shawl over her head, and hurried on. He soon overtook her. " Sarah, my lass, a good Christmas' to thee " She turned to him a face so white and sorrowful that it shocked him., and then, lifting her apron, began sobbing behind it. "Sarah ! Sarah! Whativer is it, joy 2" '' The childer,inaster. Taney are cold and hungry, and Joyce hed another little lass yesterday,and is varry bad off. I'm most beside mysen," " Where i Steve ?" That is it; of a'. He hesn't been home for two days, and he knew Joyce was like to be ill any hour ; and there must be summat wrong, for Steve's none bad=hearted. I hey been to t' station to ask if they hev heard tell o' any acci- dent, and they acted varry queer like. I'ni most broken-hearted, I think." Go thee home ; I'll hev all things needful there in half an hour. My word ! bat I'm glad. I came out to- night." In,less time, everything necessary for immediate comfort was at the cottage. Jonathan was very wet, and sat down by the fire to warm and dry his feet ; watching Sarah, amid her many cares and duties, with eyes full of pity. The children were to feed and undress the sick mother, half unconscious, and very hard to manage, kept constantly calling her ; it was easy to see that upon her the whole helpless family leaned. As she was walking a sickly little child to sleep, a womanopened the door and looked in with a troubled face. Sarah caught the look, and stopped suddenly. Oh, woman ! woman ! What's t' matter ? Where's Steve?" " I'm feared he's in prison, Sarah ; I am that." Sarah did not scream nor faint ; her blood rushed to her face, and then back in a choking tide to her heart. " Who told thee ?" " My Tuan saw him and Jerry Yates and Mike Todd brought to t' lock-up. They are took for robbing Squire Thirsk, and t' Squire is badly hurt, and it will maybe be murder, too." . '{Leave me alone, will you ? Polly, master, you must both go away, now. I want to be by mysen." A great grief is a great consecration ; both obeyed her ; but asJonathan went out, he said, "Don't fret more than thou can anything to do wi' t' robbery. I'll see help, Sarah I don't believe Steve hed him first thing in t' morning. It's going to be t' turning point in Steve's life, and all is sure to come right in t' long rile." " Oh, master, I hev given up my whole life to t' lad, and t' end seems Iike to be a prison, or worse." " But how much worse might it hey been bat for thee ? Sarah, it's for little ohilder, and t' sick woman : thou'lt hev to take it"—and he laid a five -pound note on the table. - E Thank thee, I'll take it. I'm none above taking help from a friend when I can't help mysen any longer." Early in the morning Crowther kept his word, and went to see Steve. Steve declared that he had met Yates and Todd only two hours before their arrest; that none of the money was found upon him, and that, indeed, he did not have a penny in his possession. For this reason, and because it was Christmas, the men offered to treat him, and he. was uufortunately drinking in their oompany when the police entered. Jonathan fully believed his story, but he did not think it necessary to . spare the feelings of the weak, idle man, and he spoke plainly enough to him about XPOs1T R. his abuse of Sarah's 1 e and his neglect of his wife and child b ' In all these events- onathan missed Jim Boocook eery m • of • ; for Jim hsl►d gone to spend'Christ a' . s it sister living in Otiey.' lie Old a s di th t -it weal Jim's advice ' lee d, really, pile wanted to ( ear.

And he e • treaty spoke to his heart like a c` mma d fro God, and he went into has wn room and fell upon his'knee a 'dpou,ed. odt his soul anew in level a d gra tndei; and while he was rat ng, t. a fire burned, and he washed. o ;t the bitter- ness of his hate in pen a tial ter:: s, and in broken snpplicati as for th life Of his enemy. i i There are moments t n esa`rifici:l and sacramental ; o 6 encs that are e crucible frdrii which t e s ul io ales ont white and itror g n d th se :we e sic moments to Jona a He. r • se n from his knees like n of ',old, "jnsti ed," with the light 1 (Vein' ca usol tation on his face.
