his habit to listen at the door of Ms-
Pouncemore's sanctum, that he might be at
hand to put matters straight when com-
plications arose between client and adviser,
Besides, Mr. Jackson derived a good deal of
malicious amusement from listening to the
game of cross-questions and crooked answers
which was so frequently played in Mr.

CHAPTER III.
Jack rose, still debating with himself as
to 'whether he sheuld or should not allow
the temptation to overcome him; then, he
changed his ccat, took his hat, and went
out into the street. The misdirected letter
was in his breast -pocket ; he was making a
sort of compromise with himself; he would
not deatroy the letter, nor would he send
it on to its rightful destination. He
would consider the matter further during
the day. A City omnibus paesed hien, and
as the morning was fine, there were more
outside than inside passengers. Jack hail-
ed it, jumeed in, and then suddenly a, sort
of electric, shock went through him, which
caused him momentarily to forget all about
his uncle, the misdirected letter, and his
own alternate battlings against and parleys
with temptation. For he found himself
seated opposite the young lady with the
gray eyes, the young lady whose fare lie
had paid some weeks ago.
Events were falling out strangely that
morning. For weeks he had been watching
for a chance of seeing Mies Mirah Lester,
in the hope- that she might acknowledge
their informal acquaintance by at least a
bow and a smile. Now, on the very day
that had brought him face to face with
temptation they met. Would she remem-
ber him? Fie looked. across at her inquiring-
ly. She was reading; but she seemed -to
feel his earnest glance, for she suddenly
looked up, blushed, smiled divinely, and
then held out her hand. "1 have so wish-
ed to thank you again for your timely loa,n,"
she said, "and to—to repay it."
Jack was hardly conscions of the money
she gave him, for a sudden overpowing sense
of shame and self-contempt seized him. He
felt as if the steady, °arida gaze of Mirah
Lester's gray eyes penetrated through the
cloth of his coat to the letter in his breast.
pocket. The touch of her little gloved
band seemed to posses some magic power, to
make him see things in their true light and
rightly to estimate his own mental attitude.
He stammered out some entirely inane
rejoinder. What would she think of him d
she knew how near he had been to suppress-
ing and destroying a letter that had come
into his hands by chance? which, therefore,
should have been doubly sacred to any
honourable man. How terribly base he
would seem in her eves, if she guessed that
he had coldly reckoned on the death of the
man who had filled a father's place in his
life !
The young lady, being quite at a loss as
to the real cause of her fellow -traveller's
manifest agitation, imagined him to be the
victim of bashfuluess. So she resumed her
book in happy ignorance of the violent revul-
sion of feeling she had roused in the breast of
the man opposite to her, and of the momen-
tous result brought about by their meeting.
As on a former occasion the young lady
got out at the corner of Wellington Street.
By that time Jack had regained sufficient
self-possesion to be able to respond to her
parting "good -morning ;" then he, too,
alighted from the omnibus and bent his
steps towards Lincoln's Inn Fields. He had
quite made up his mind to net fairly and
squarely in the matter of the mis-sent letter
But oa arriving at Mr. Pouncemore's office,
he learnt that the lawyer was not expected
there until twelve o'clock. So fcr an hour
or more Jack paced round and round the
dingy garden honoured by the appellation
of "Fields," thinking of all that had happen-
ed, and all that he had been saved from,
during the past two hours.
When all the church clocks in the neigh-
bourhood had lif ted up their varionsly-toned
voices to announce the birth of another noon
Jack again entered the lawyer's office.
Mr. Pouncemore was a tall, thin old man,
nearer seventy than sixty, dressed in black
clothes of old-fashioned cut. His manners
were as. much out of date as his garments,
for he had aa almost Gra,ndisonian courtli-
ness of address; his bows were bows, not
the jerky nods or careless touchings of hat -
brims, or snatchy doffe.ngs, peculiar to this
last quarter of the century.
Mr. Pouncemore was not, perhaps, quite
to keen of eye or so acute of brain as he had
been twenty or even ten years ago. He
Found it necessary to rub his spectacles a
good deal, grumbling as he did so at the
quality of the lens supplied by the opticians
IA to -day. Ten years ago spectacles were
Spectacles. He was a trifle deaf, and, not
liking to admit the fact, frequently made
?rooked answers to remarks addressed to
him; and nothing vexed him more than that
1. client should manifest impatience at his
slowness of speech, or notice the difficulty
he had in seizing the various "points" in a
ease. Mr. Pouncemore was, in fact, getting
sat hie work. He depended more and
ore on bis head clerical, young man ot con-
. ,
no.erable acuteness and resource.
hIr Podneemore received the nephew of
' bis old friend Tredinnick with his clestom-
ary urbanity, listened courteously to his
explanation as to how the letter intended
for him had cora° into Mr. Moore's posses-
sion though he certainly failed to under.
I -band all the young mau said.
"1 received by this morning's' post a
letter written by my uncle to you,"_said
eiloore, raising his voice and speaking in
ibow, stentorian tones.
"Ycour, uncle wishes to eee me? Certainly.
At :what hour shall I call on hirn? replied
the old lawyer suavely.
" This lotto is yours—it carne to my ad-
dress by mietake —by mistake," shouted
Moore, beginuing to lose lig temper.
M r. Pounoemore stared.
" Mietaltes--eo ; I =not in the habit of
making inietakes, sir."
Tide gentleman has come to complain of
some mistake about a letter he wrote to
me," said the lawyer with dignity.
"This morning I received a letter written
by my uncle, 111r. Tredinnick, to Mr.
Pouncemore— a letter which was unfortu-
nately put Into the wrong envelope," ex-
plained Moore impatiently. (Here he held
out the letter iu his hand to the elerke)
opened aud read it, for, as you see, it was
addressed to me."
The clerk took the letter. "1 understand.
I will explain the matter to Mr Pounce -
more,"
Jackson, long accustomed to suit his
voice to his employer's tympanum, ma,naged
to convey to him why Mr. Treclinnick's
nephew had called.
Yes—yes ; I understand," Mr. Pounce -
more said, brightening. "Mr. Tredinnick
has made a mistake—a mistake excusable
at Inc age ; but," he added, staring at Jack
through his gold -rimmed spectacles, "you
have also made a mistake in supposing that
abetter intended for you reached inc.—'
think I am right—am I not Jackson ?— in
saying that no misdirected letter came to
the office this morning ?" he added, turning
to the head -clerk.
Jackson bowed deferentially, glancing
askance the while at the young man, who,
in his opiuion, was behaving in a most sin-
gular not to say suspicious manner,
afterwards discovered,* that directed to
Mr. Pouncemore in the blotting -book.
"Ani now 1, meet give old tack Pounce
more a new set of instructions," he Anisned
with a smile that beautified hid harsh fea-
tures and shone like winter sunshine in his
faded eyes. "But the eight of you hes put
new life into me, my boy, and I don't think
you'll have to pay your succession duty just
yet.—Oh, there s a ring at the bell. My
reader and amanuensis, jack, the kindest
and best of girls, who creams all the news-
papers and writes my letters—most of them -
at least. Not private instructions to iny
lawyer, of course."
Just then the door opened, and Thrupp
announced "Mise Lester." And to Jack's
utter delight and astonishment, in walked
the young lady with gray eyes—Mirah
Lester, his good angel.
[TEM END].
" Then," said Jack, rising, I must apolo-
gise for my intrusion on your time. I—I
thought it right to bring you the letter that
came into my hands under such—peculiar
circumstances with, as little delay as pos-
sible. The letter is now in your possession,
so I have only to wish you good -morning.'
"Good -morning," replied Mr. Pounce -
more, extending a formal hand for Jack to
shake, He was determined to show this
bad-tempered young man what he thought
of his ungrateful conduct towards his
uncle.
Jack left the office with slow, heavy eteps.
He knew that he bad. elected to follow the
steep and thorny path ; that he hid mas-
tered and trampled under foot a great
temptation. But as he set his face towards
the great, purple, cross -crowned dome of
St. Paul's, the inevitable reaction resulting
from strong emotion set in, and a dull feel-
ing of depression and hopelessness took
possession of him. He had done
right but the consciousness that he
had acted as became an honest man did
not at the moment brine its own reward,
for when he reached his office, be received a
severe reprimand for his lapse from -punctu-
ality; and as he took his meat at his desk, no
inspiriting hope of a happier future bright-
ened the commonplace drudgery of the
present.
The day passed, and he went home to his
lodgings thoroughly tired out. But next
morning heron early and walked down to
Russell Square. The sight of the well re-
membered house) even though he knew it to
be DOW tenantedby strangers, restored the
balance of his mind, and brought back some
measure of his former lightheartedness.
On reaching home that evening he found
a letter awaiting him, addressed in a ledy's
handwriting. Hetore it quickly open, and.
read as follows:
THE BAY TREES,
WIMBLEDON, Nov.20,183—,
MY MAR Boy,—I have heard from Mr.
Pouncemore how you behaved with regard
to a letter I wrote to him, and which reach-
edyouby an accident, for whichI shall never
cease to thank God. If you will come down
here as early as you can to -morrow morn-
ing, I will explain now the mistake occur-
red.—Your affectionate uncle.
The letter was signed in rather shaky -
looking characters-- EDWATM TREDINNICK.
The Use of Short Words.
We must not only think in words, but
we must also try to use the best words, and
those which in speech will put what is in
our mind into the minds of others, This is
the great art which those must gain who
wish to teach in the sehool, the church, at
the bar, or through the press. To do this
in the right way they should use the short
words whiclt we use in early life, and
which have the same sense to all classes of
men. The English of our Bible is good.
Now and then some long words are found,
and they always hurt the verses in which
you fled them. Take that which ear, 0,
ye generation of vipers, who bath warned
you to flee from the wrath to come ?" There
is one long word which should not be in it,
namely, "generation." In the old version
the old word brood" is used. Read the
verse again with this term, and you will
feel its full force, "0, ye viper's brood,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath
to come ?" Crime sometimes does nob look
like crime when it is set before us in the
many folds of a long word. When a raan
'
steals and we call it defalcation," we are
at a loss to kuow if it is a blunder or a
crime. If he does not tell the truth, and we
are told that it is a, case of "prevarication,"
it takes ue some time to know just what we
should think of it. No man will ever cheat
himself into weoug-doing, nor will he be at
a loss to judge of others, if he thinks and
speaks of acts in clear, crisp terms. It is a
good rule, if one is at ft 148S8 to know if an
act is right or wrong, to write it down in
short, straight-out English.
Bibliomaniacs are usually men. Women
have a rage for collectino old china, old lace,
fans, miniatures, and the rest, but notoften
rare and curious books. There is, however,
one woman in New -York who journeyed to
Boston not long ago after a "Mot edition"
that was to be sold there. She did not get
it. It was a little book of not more than
thirty pages, a first edition of Edgar A.
Poe's writings, of which only two are known
to be in existence. The volume sold for
$1,850,which was a little above her figure.
"1 wanted it badly," she confessed, " but I
had to limit my bidding, and it was beloW
this sum."
This same woman has a fortune tied up in
rare old books. " Why not?" she says.
"They constantly increase in value, and if
you know what to buy they are as safe as
peischblow vases. You can insure them
against tire and it would take a very cul-
tured thief know what volumes to carry
away. I fiad a wonderful fascination in the
pursuit of a treasure—this Poe edition, for
instance. The printer who got it out Das
been traced, his descendants visited; and his
record searched. It is positive that only
two copies of the original edition are left.
No, old books are not forged," she finished
in answer to a question. 'It has been tried,
but the -deception is sure to be discovered.
The old paper and old type cannot be made
now."
LATE CABLE NEWS.
Cholera Spreading—Collapse of A Sense-
less Charge. —
Apparently, however, the cholera will
very SOOM compel the undivided attention
of Western Europe. It now has a foothold
in both Odessa and Moscow, and in the
latter city reliance has thus far been placed
solely on the big religious processions and
a display through the streets of specially
sacred ikons. In both these places, and,
indeed, measurably throughout Russia, a
large proportion of the capable physicians
have been driven away because they were
Jews, and municipal organization is in a
far lower and looser state than it was
twenty years ago. The plague practically
will meet no intelligent, effective resistance
anywhere east of the German frontier.
Here, however, every conceivable resource
of science will be marshaled against it, and
quite possibly its progress will be staved.
It makes one shudder, though, to think
what horrors this summary closing of the
gates in front and advent of a pestilence in
the rear will work in the already over-
crowded and and pauperized. amcl filthy Jewish
p
The ignoble collapse of the latest attempt
to fasten the blood sacrifice upon the Jews
may have done some good in Germany.
The trial at Xanten, a medheval little old
town in one of the most backward sections
of Germany, turned out like all others of
recent years—that is to say, it showed that
the real murderer tried to shield himself
by inventing the charge against a Jew,
and it seems more than likely that the
original motive of the crime eves 1,0
get up this charge. It staggere the
imagination to bry to grasp this extremity
of tho anti-Semitio fervor, but we know it
has often gone these lengths in Hungary
and Galicia, and the experience now in
Xenten has shown that a vast majority of
the population is quite ready to believe in
the guilt of the accused Hebrew, though
there was not a scintilla of evidence against
hint, and he proved an absolute alibi. Prob-
ably the peasantry of Middle Europe will
continue for generations to believe that the
Jews murder Christians for sacrificial pur-
poses, but the latest episode has given the
German Liberal press a most opportune
weapon in the fight against the new Juden-
betze, which 13ismarek and his group of
malcontents are striving to stir up.
Jack read the letter with quickened
pulses and beaming eyes, wondered a little
who had acted as his uncle's amanuensis ;
then folded it up and put it in the pocket
where that other letter had lain, when truth
and honor and right feeling were weighing
in the balance agaimstwealthtsnd ease—and
dishonor—and the glance of a girl's candid
eyes had made the balance dip on the right
side.
Jack -went down to Wimbledon by the
first train from Waterloo, and reached his
uncle's door by nine o'clock. TheBay Trees
was a pretty, snug -looking villa, standing
well back from the road behind the two big
trees which gave the house its name. As
Jack lifted the latch of the white -painted
entrance gate, his heart beat fast with
mingled excitement and apprehension. The
door was opened by the old butler Thrupp.
"Why, good gracious me ! it's Master
Jack—well! And I'm glad to see you back
again, sir."
" Iow is my uncle ?" asked Jack, rather
shame-facedlye
"Better, sir—much better. He cheered
up wonderful after Mr Pouncemore's visit
yesterday morning.—And now the sight of
you will do him more good than all the
champagne and physic the doctor orders."
Jack was ushered straight into his uncle's
presence. He pauseci for an instant on the
threshold. of the room, for he was startled
at the change two years had wrought in the
hale, hearty:. old man. Uncle !" he cried
impulsively—" my dear, kind, old uncle !"
--- He stopped, fairly overcome, for the
sight of his uncle's altered face and the
unconscious pathos - of the drooping figure'
seatedlby the lonely fireside, unmanned him.
"Jack !" The old' man rose, tottered to-
wards him, and fell on his neck ith a
sobbing cry of: "Jack, my boy, forgive
ate. I was too hard. Oh, my dear, dear
boy, thank God that He has brought you
back to me at last !"

Playing -Cards in Russia,.
There is only one factory in Russia for the
manufacture of playing -cards. It has is
monopoly of the business and belongs to the
Foundling Hospital, It is figured that
there are 30,000,000 people in Russia who
play cards, and. to supply the demand this
factory puts out 6,000,000 packs of cards
annually. In order to make this enormous
quantity of cards only 329 women, aged
from 15 to 20 years, and sixty -men are em-
Rloyed. And they are chosen amid the
sisters, wives, and daughters of the work-
men at the factory. Both exteriorly and
interiorly the factory is a model of cleanli-
ness. This is one of the essential condittens
of this branch of the production. All the
employes live at the factory and earn from
$5 to $15 a month. They work from Uin
the morning to 6 o'clock at night, and are
allowed two hours a day for their meals.
Besides the ordinary playing -cards of differ-
ent qualities the factory produces annually
120,000 packs of figured cards for the Ger-
man colonies, besides 12,000 packs of minia-
ture playing -cards as toys. The annual
profit of the factory amounts to about $800,-
000. The cardboard is supplied by the
Neva paper -mill.

The New York Herald of iVIonclay says:
—" After the singing of 'Throw Out the
Life Line,' by Mr. Stebbins, at the Conven-
tion, the first address of the afternoon was
announced. Ire. D. Sanky was the speaker.
His subject was Christian Endeavor in Eng-
land," and he assured the convention that
the cause was making great headway all
over Great Britain. In the course of his
adclrees, he remarked that had Homestead,
Pa., had two or three Christian Eudeavour
societies, with their brotherly influence,
the recent troubles there would never hay
occurred. He referred to the pleasant rela-
tions of England and America, and said
that war between the two nations was for-
ever out of the question.
The Canadian delegates eprang to their
feet as Mr. Sankey sat down and electrified
the audience by striking up "God Save the
Queen." The Convention broke into cheer-
ing, and all the women in the house waved
their hankerchiefs. When the Canadians
were through the audience promptly contin-
ued the song, substituting the words of
"My Country, 'Tis of Thee." It was now
Canada's turn to cheer and wave handker-
chiefs. She replied to "America" with
" Blest Be the Tie That Binds," the whole
audience joined in and there was another
scene of wild enthusiasm.

Divorce in Australia.
Divorce petitions in Victoria appear to
be just twice as numerous in proportion to
the population as in the mother country, a
circumstance not surprising when the num-
erous grounds, on which divorce is granted
by the recent Act of the Victorian Legisla-
ture are taken into account. Generally
speaking the sexes are placed by this law
pretty much on an equality, though in the
case of adultery as regardthe man, the of-
fence must have been repeated or commit-
ted in the conjugal residence or coupled with
conduct or circumstances of aggravation.
Among the specified grounds of divorce
