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

. 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. Sieh kindly f. , Jath
thought, would almost re000cile him to
his creditors' harshness, especially se he
would be spared the paid of poisoning °
the happiness of Ism pcor wife and chil-
dren on the day in the year which should
be • day of pease and innocent enjoy-
ment, and Jack felt that, relieved from
absolute necessity, it would be nothing
short of a virtuous .stion on has part to
keep his secret until at least the day
after tomorrow.

Jack abandoned kimaelt to a surt of ficti-

braiding and disquieting refectioaa by a
determination to give himself up to the
enjoyments of the festive day. But sot -
metal and anxious thoughts assisted up-
on obtruding themselves, including un-
comfurtaole misgivings whether the de-
ceit he was premising upon his wife with
referents. to the man in , . . was,
after all, justifiable. At odd someots

meanor ; though, as the dinner hour ap-
proached, he was seised with fresh
qualms of conscience on Doing reminded
that there would be other guests at his

cohfort•ble at the idea of introducing •

fiture, he re.ei.ed, late in the afternoon
morel misgivings. "I an tell my wife

"And I can soy that, havicg only re-

"I don't know much about him," said
Jack, glancing nervously at the clock,
which warned him that his wife and
children might return at any moment.
