little before midnight, and where the
attendant, who had quitted the house

The misty dawn of a Decefllber morn-

Lucien went out into the street,
pledged his watch, took a bath, break-
fasted, and then went to the recruiting -

volunteer in the First Regiment of
Chasseurs d' Afrique.
At the present time Lucien Hem is a
lieutenant. He has only his pay to live
upon, but he contrives to make it suf-
fice, being a very steady officer, and
never touching a card. It appears even
that he has found the means of saving ;
for the other day, at Algiers, one of his
comrades, who was tolling him, at a
few paces distant, in one of the hilly
streets of the Iasha, saw him give
something in charity to a little spauish
girl sleeping in a doorway, and had the
indiscretion to see what it was that
Lucien had given the child.
Great was his surprise at the poor
lieutenants generosity.

The ' children, who were orphaned
grandchildren of the dying woman,
were sent to bed, and then Jim hintselt
was packed off to refresh himself for
the nel�t,� day's labors, for the poor old
fellow still doddered about the meek -
shop.
The first thing in the morning
Mercy's married (laughter, the only
child of hers living in London, arrived
to nurse her mother. But Honor in-
dignantly refused to be dispossessed.
"A nice daughter you are," she said,
"to leave your mother lay a day ai d a
night without a sight o' your ug.y
lace !"
"I had to look after the good man and
the little uns," the daughter pleaded.
"Then what do you mean by desert-
ing thele now ?" the irate old worsen
retorted. "First you deserts your
mother and - then your husband and
children. You just go back to them as
needs your care. I carried your mother
in my arms before you was born, and if
she wants anybody else now to look
after her let her just tell me so, and 1'11
bo off in a brace o' shakos."
She looked defiantly at the Yellow,
dried-up creature in the bed. Mercy's
whithered lips twitched, but no sound
came from thein. Jim, strung up by the
situation„ took the word. "You can't
do no good up here, the doctor says.
You .night look atter the kids down
stairs a bit when you can spare an hour,
and I've got to ,;•o to the shop. 1'11 send
you a telegraph if there is a change,"
he whispered to the daughter, andshe,
not wholly discontented to return to her
living interests, kissed her mother, lin-
gereda littleand then stolequietlyaway.
All that day the old women lingered
together in solemn silence. broken only
by the doctor's visit. He reported that
Mercy might last a couple of days more.
Li the evening Jim replaced his sister-
in-law, who slept perforce. At mid-
night she awoke and sent hint to bed.
The sufferer tossed about restlessly. At
2.30 o'clock she awoke, and Honor fed
her with some broth as she would•have
fed 4 baby. Mercy, indeed, looked
scarcely bigger than an inf'ai.t, and
Honor had the advantage of her only
by being puffed out with clothes. A
church clock its the distance struck 3.
Then the silence fell deeper The
\tpltcher drowsed. The lamp flickered,
tossing her shadow about the walls as if
site, too, were turning feverishly from
side to side. A strangti ticking made
itself heard in the wainscoting. Mercy
sat up with a scream of terror. "Jim,'
she shrieked. "Jim !"
Honor listened, her blood curdling.
Then she went toward the door and
opened it. "Jim," site said in low tones,
speaking toward the landing, "tell her
nothtn'; it's only a mouse. She was
always a nervous little think" And
she closed the door softly, and pressing
her tremb1ing sister tenderly- back on
the pillow tucked her up snugly in the
blanket.
Next morning, when Jim was really
present, the patient begged pathetical-
ly to have a grandchild with her in the
room, day and night. "Don't leave me
alone again," she quavered ; "don't
leave me alone, with not a soul •
to talk
to." Honor winced, but said nothing.
The youngest child, who did not have
to go to school, was brought—a pretty
little boy with brown curls, which the
sun, streaming through the panes. turn;
ed to gold,' '(rite morning passed slowly'
About noon Mercy took the child's hand
and smoothed his curls.
"My sister Honor had golden curls
like that," she whispered.
"They were in the tamily, Bobby,"
IIonor answered. "Your had
granny ,spay
them, too, when she was a girl."
"'1 he mignonette will be grown' in
the meadows, Bobby," she utrrnure(l.
"Yes," and the heartease," said
Honor softly. "We lived in the coun-
try, you Know, Bobby."
'Ther& is flowers in the country,'
Bobby declared gravely.
"Yes, and trues," said IIonor. "I
wonder it your granny remembers
when we were larrupped for stealing
apples?"
"Ave, that I do, Bobby, He, he !"
croaked the dying ci eature with a burst
of enthusiasm. We were a pair of
tom -boys. The varmer he ran atter us,
Irving, Ye! Yo!" but we wouldn't take
mi gFte. He, he, he!"
Bettor wept at the laughter. The
native idiom, unheard for halt' a cen-
tury, made her face shine wider the
tears. "Don't let your granny excite
herselfj•Robby. Let me give her a
drink.' She moved the boy aside and
Mercy's lips automatically opened to the
draught.
"'Strom was wi' us, Bobby," she gur-
gled, still vibrating with amusement,
"and he tumbled over on the heather.
He, he!"
"Tome is dead this 40 year, Bobby,'
whimpered Honor.
Mercy's head fell back, and nnexpres-
sion of supremo exhaustion came over
her face. Half an hour passed. Bobby
was called down to dinner. The doctor
had berm sent for. Suddenly Mercy sat
up with ajerk. Morcv bent toward the
side of the ked. "Ah, is Honor still
there? Kiss me, Bobby." Her hands
groped blindly. Honor bent down, and
the old woman's withered lips met.
And in that kiss Mercy passed sway
into the greater silence.—L. Zangwill,

tered n few words in his grizzled beard :
"Lend me a five -franc piece mon-
sieur. It's now two days since `I have
stirred out of the club, and for two days
the 'seventeen' has never turned up.
Laugh at me, if you like, but 1'11 suffer
my hand to be cut off, if that number
does not turn up on the stroke of mid-
night.”
Lucien shrugged his shoulders. He
had not even enough in his pocket to
meet this tax, which the frequenters of
the place called "The Poles hundred
sous." He passed into the ante-
chamber, took his hat and fur coat, and
descended the stairs with feverish
rapidity.
Since four o'clock, when Lucien had
shut himself up in the gamin, -house,
snow had fallen heavily, and the street
—a street in the centre of Paris, very
narrow, and built with high Houses on
either side—was completely white.
The ruined gambler shuddered under
his tuts, and walked away, his mind stili
teeming with thoughts of despair, and
more thann ever turning to the remem-
brance of the case of pistols which await-
ed him in one of his drawers ; but after
moving forward a few steps, he stopped
suddenly before a heart -wringing sight;
.On it stone bench, placed according to
old custom near the door of a mansion,
a little girl of six or seven years of ago,
dressed in a ragged black frock, was
sitting in the snow. She was sleeping,
in spite 01' the cruel cold, its an attitude
of frightful fatigue and exhaustion ; her
poor little head, and tiny shoulder press-
ed as if they had sunk into an angle of
the wail, and reposing on the icy stone.
One of her wooden st>.oes had fallen from
her foot, which hung helplessly and
lugubriously before her,
\Vith a mechanical gesture, Lucien
put his hand to his waistcoat pocket,
but, a moment afterward, he recollect-
ed that lie haul' not been able to find
even a forgotten piece of twenty -sous,
and had been obliged to leave the club
without givitll.g the customary "tip" to
the club attendant ; yet, moved by att
instinctive ykoling of pity, he approach-
ed the little girl, and might, perhaps,
have takran her in his arms, and given
her a night's lodging,when in the wood-
en shoe'which had slipped from her foot

He looped. It was a gold coin.
Som charitable persou,doubtless some
lady, 'sad passed by, had seen on thi•t
Christmas night the little wooden shoe
lying in front .,f the sleeping child, and
rec/filling the touching legend, had plac-
ed)e there,with a secret hand,a magnihc-
e'ait offering so that this poor abandoned
obis might believe in presents made for
he infant Saviour, and preserve, in
spite of her misfortune, some confidence
and some hope in the goodness of Pro-
vidence.
A gold piece! It was several (lave of
rest and riches for the beggar, and Lu-
cien was on the point of waking her to
tell -her this,when he heard near his ear,
as in a hallucination, a voice—the voice
of the pole,with its coarse, drawling ac-
cent, almost whispering:
"•It's now two days since I stirred out
of the club and for two days the 'seven-
teen' has never turned up; I'll suffer my
hand to be cut off, it' that number does
not turn up on the stroke of midnight."
Then this young man of three -and -
twenty, descended from a race of honest
men, who bore a proud military name,
and who had never swerved from the
path of honor, conceived a frightful
idea. He was seized with a mad,
hysterical, l,
m
onstr0
us desire.
e. After
glancing on all sides to make sure that
he was alone,
he stole the gold piece
from the fallen shoe !
Hurrying, then, with all his speed, he•
returned to the gambling house, scaled
the stairs, two and three at a stride, and
entering the accursed play Nom as the
first stroke of midnight was sounding,
placed the piece of gold on the green
cloth, and cried :
"I stake on the seventeen !"
The seventeen won.
With a turn of the hand Lucien
pushed the thirty-six Louis on to the red.
The "red" won.
He left the seventy-two loris on the
same color. The "red" won again.
Twice he "doubled"—three times—
always with the same success. He had
now before him a pile of gold and notes,
and began to scatter stakes all over the
board. All his bets were fortunate.
His luck was unheard of, supernatural
It might have been imagined that the

Now, staking two or three hundred
louas at a time, and aided by his strange
run of luck he was on the way to re-
gaining, and more besides, the heredi-
tary capital he had squandered in so few
years, and reconstituting his fortune.
In his eagerness to return to the gam-
ing -table, he had not taken off his fur
coat. Already he had crammed the
large pockets with bundles of notes and
rouleaux of gold pieces, .and, not know-
ing where to heap his winnings, he now
loaded the inner and exterior pockets
of his frock -coat? the pockets of his vest
and trousers, his handkerchief—every-

money.

THE SISTERS' QUARREL.
They had quarreled in girlhood and
mutually declared their intention never
to speak to each other again, wetting
and drying their lorefingers to the ac-
companiment of an ancient childish in-
cantation, and while they lived on the
parental farm they kept their foolish
oath with the stubbornness of a slow
country stock despite, the alternate
coaxing and chasti;'ment of their pa-
rents, notwithsta. iing the perpetual
every day contact of their lives
through every vicissitude of sea-
son and weather, of sowing and reap-
ing, of sun and shade, of joy and sorrow.
Death and misfortune did not recon-
cile them and when their father died
and the old farm was sold up they trav-
eled to London in the same silence, by
the same train, in search of similar situ -
tions. Service separated them for years,
though there was only a stone's throw
between them, They often stared at
each other in the streets. Honor, the
elder, married a local artisan; two and
a half years later Mercy, the younger,
married at fellow workman of Jane's
husband. The two husbands were
friends and often visited each other's
houses, which were on opposite sides of
the same sordid street, and the wives
made thein welcome. Neither Honor
or Mercy suffered an allusion to the
breach. It was understood that their
silence must be received in silence.
Each of the sisters had a quiverful of
children, who played and quarreled to-
gether in the streets and in one another's
houses, but not even the street affrays
and mutual grievances of the children
could provoke the mothers to words.
They stood at their doors in impotent
fury, aimggt bursting with the torture of
keeping. .,heir mouths shut against the
effervescence of angry speech. When
either lost a child, the other watched the
funeral from her window, dumb as the
mutes.
I'he years rolled on, and still the river
of silence flowed between their lives.
Their good looks faded. The burden of
life and their childbearing was heavy
upon them. Gray hairs streaked their
brown tresses, then brown hairs streak-
ed their gray tresses. The puckers of
ego replaced the dimples of youth. The
years rolled on, and death grew busy
among the families. Honors husband
died and Mercy lost a son, who died a
week after his wife. Cholera took seve-
ral of the younger children.
Then one day Mercy took to het
death bed. An internal disease, too
long neglected, would carry her off
within a week. So the doctor told Jint,
Mercy's husband.
Through him the news traveled to
Honor's eldest son, who still lived with
her. By the evening it reached Honor.
As Honor entered Mercy's sick room,
with pursed lips, a light leaped into the
wasted, wrinkled countenance of the
dying creature. She raised herself
slightly in bed, her lips parted, then
shut tightly, and her face darkened.
Honor turned angrily to Mercy's
husband, who hung about impotently.
"Why did you let her run down so low ?"
she said. 'I didn't know,' the old man
stammered, taken back by her presence
even more than by her question. "She
was always a woman to say nothin'."
Honor put him impatiently aside and
examined the medicine bottle on the
bedside table.
"Isn't it time she took her dose?"
"I dessay."
