As it was quite beyond poor Jack's power to avert this dreadful calamity, it was evld.at that further t was oat of the question, and he had, therefore, resolved to break the sad in- telligences to kis wife immediately upon his arrival home- Perhaps his unwill- iage... to peddle this w ept...mit task may have bad something to do with the unusually lam hoar of his return, though, to do him justice, be had been fully oc- cupied during the day in reunion about all over the town endeavoring to t.ise sufficient money from his friends to ob- tain from Mr Lazarus the indulgence of a hw days' respite. All his efforts, had Deo, futile, even though, in bis deeper - . tion, he had spent some hours in boot- ing for a detect oosaia, to whom he bad written a pathetin appeal some days pre- viously. This .owls had jest retarded from Queensland after an abloom ot over Sweaty years, and, as he had left this ooentry when Jack was quite a boy, it was hardly likely that he would take the slightest interest in his affairs. But poor Jack, in his infatuation, had gath- ered wild bops from the equivocal fact that no reply had been vouchsafed to his letter. Taking comfort from the delu- sive adage that silence mews consent, Jack had laboriously traced his cousin from the hotel at which he had first stayed to his present abode, only to find that he had left town some day pre- viously, without neeotioning his destin- ation. After this Jack had ooms straight home, utterly weary and broken-hearted, and, had hes wife bean at hard to greet him es usual, he would, no doubt. have carried out his intention of telling her everything. But his wife's ebsenoe, coupled with the news which be had learned from the servants that no emissary from Mr Laet- rile had appeared to disturb the tranquil- lity of the household, braced up Jack's, nerves wooderfully and enabled him to t do fair justice to his solitary meal. As he glanced round the cosy room, which looked gay with holly and Christmas dec- orations, the idea occurred to him that t perhaps even Mr Lazarus was human t and had refrained from carrying nut bis threat until after Christmas Day had pared.
