Hesketh began to write his letter. "Sen d him in to me, will you please, Merril?" he said, quietly, and with his usual courtesy to lits subordinates. When Merril had gone, Ilesketh's pen stopped, and without raleing 'his heed, he gazed at the paper thought- fully, as it ho were trying to come to a decision; then he shook his head and resumed his writing, as a. man's heavy step was heard and a knock came to the door. In response to liesketh's cold "Conic in," a young man entered, He was a fine, strong -looking young fellow, was still good-looking, though heavy drinking had made its rav- ages in his face. His blue eyes were bloodshot -one -had a discolored circle round, it -his Hp was cut, there was a heevy bruise on his cheek and fore- head, and his fair hair was in a tangle of disorder; he wore a red scarf in place of a collar, and his clothes were torn and mud -stained.

"Quite so. The phrase, though graphic, is unsuited to the opienclor end refinement of our elegant • mire r lofty toundings, not to any ow poei- keth, and when I've done with him, the mother that bore him wouldn't know him!" "Tut, tut!" said Heeketh, leaning forward and taking up late pen. "All this wild talk ia extremely foolish, Rawdon. You know that ete well as I do, I eliould have thought, judging by your past, taat you were too sensible a man -to go to ruin because a girl, evidently not worthy of you, has de- ceived you and gone astray. But that is your affair. 1 am very sorry for your trouble, and I would help you it I could; but, as you rnuet see, youre is ono of those cases le which no fia eip le possible. I sent for you to tell you that I cannot tolerate your behavior. If I were to do so, I should be oetting a precedZmt that would have the most dieastroue resulto. If I permit you to go on to drink, to misbehave yourself, I must permit every man in the works to follow your example, if he choosee to do so. Frankly, Rawdon, we ehall be very sorry to lose a good hand; but I am afraid you must go." The maxi caught his breath, and, fumbling with his cap, drew it across hie Hp, -"I thought you'd say that, . Mr. Hesketh; for they wouichgt take me on anywhere else, if I was turned out of the Pit Werke. Net that I should care if I was by myeelf; I'd as lief die In a ditch as lead this dog's life; but I've got a mother, as you know. It'll mean breaking up 'the home, it will be hard on her. Give me -give me an- other chance, Mr. Hesketh," he plead- ed, moietening his battered lips. Hesketh was writing rapidly now, and he glanced sideways at the man as if hesitating; suspense again. At last he said coldly, as i fhe were yield- ing against the prompting; of duty: "I'm inclined to give you another ebance, Rawdon,for your mother's sake. You have been at the worke since you were a boy; and until thi,. affair -but we won't hark back to that. But I will otretch a point, and give you another chance. Give me your promise that you will reform and conduct yourself as you used to de, end you may go back to your work." Rawdon drew a long breath of re- lief, and he looked at the bent head gratefully. "Thank you, sir, thank you, Mr. Hesketh. You have been very good to me, !better than I deserve. and I'll try to turn over a new leaf, try to forget . • "Yes; try to forget," said Hesketh, witliQa, preoccupied air, as he bent over his letter. "That's the best advice 1, pa n glee you. The best resolution Y011 eau Make, you inaY go to your machine nowe' Ilesketh wrote on until the door had, closed on the penitent; then he sus."

"Behold, the first strawberries of the Year!" exclaimed Mollie, as she burst -whenever that impetuous young lady moved -a tornado followed in her train -into the dining -room, which, in the Bramley's time, had been called the ladies' boudoir, where Olytie sat' writing at an antique bureau which Would have. brought water to Ate mouth of the connoisseur.

He remarked that he was saving the strawberries until be could collect a dish for the table.

Take the larger, Clyde, and leave the small one to me; and as a reward for my unselfishness, I shall have the smaller stomach-ache. No? Then I will take both and suffer in sil- ence." Clytie laughed, but she looked rattl- ed rather vtorried, and leaning back in her chair sighed. "What is the Matter?" asked Mollie. "Why this cloud, this expreeslon of weariness on the brow of the prin- cess?" "I'm worried," said tlytie, as elle pushed her hair from her forehead and knit her brows.

The suggestion consists of the entire Meese. of the money over the world, in order to give the strinagle for exist- ence a check, to make Way with the difference of Atli and poor, and thus to promote peace and equality in the public life of mankind. It is through the medium of the money that wealth 15 acnuntilated, and the accumulation entails the dif-` ference of rich and poor, With its resultant straggle for existence. This state of things is most uncle- sirable, The end of mankind is not to be proud of iridividual talent or ability, but to to-ettjoy the peace in ,the world, just as -in a family, and any cause which brings about any ineouality in public life mut be reell- cally elltninated.
