CIf.aPTER II.—(Oout'd).
. s the eon of Dandy Bafborougli, Clive
was intimately aequatnted with the. li.£e
aristgeiatic; he made himself as intim-
ately acquainted with 'the life of the gut-
ter; and be had cast in hie lot ante and
for all with •the people.
Lord Rafborough's amazement and in
dignation when be was informed of his
eon's inteation to contest Brimfield as au
out-and-out Radieal became, is the come
monplaee phrase, more easily imagiued
than, described; but he was always pol-
ished and courteous, even when suffering
from the gout, an attack' of widen Clive`$
conduct promptly produced, and lie div-
missed and cut off his:on with a smile
and a shrug of has shoielders and the fol-
lowing words:
"Of course, any dear Clive, you ane old
enough to go your own Warr, and I would
not be so rude as to suggest that you are
a young- fool; but you will permit me to
remark, more in sorrow than in anger,
that you cannot expect nee to counten-
anee this new departure of youre. It is
more than wicked; it is --absurd. We Rai-
boroughs have, I admit, been guilty: of.
some toolieb things,: ant none of us have
been quite so idiotic a`s, to pose as a Rad -
teal and a friend of the people'—I believe
that is the ridiouloue title that they give
yon—and I am sure you will not be sur-
prised when I hint, as delicately as pos-
sible, that we have no desire to ba con-
nected with Your enterprise or to . coon-
tenance your extravagant political 'opin-
ions. I can't eut you off with a shilling,.
because I do not possess at this moment
"that useful coin; but I would suggest that
while this insanity of,youre lasts it would
be as well if you` avoided your people and
Eaton Square, arid, confined yourself to
your new friends. Good-bye, my dear
Clive. I wish I could bid. you. God -speed;
but the hackneyed benediction would' be
so completely inappropriate that.I really
must refrain from *uttering it. The only kind to walk away at once but, with a

down - in a couple of rooms in a back iously at Clive, muttered;
"Come away, ,Mina!"
Annoyed and distressed by the dwarf's
distrust of him, Olive walked on. Re
had nearly reached the end of the, street
when he came upon four young men link-
ed arm in arm, and walling, or' rather
dancing, unsteadily across the pavement,.
They were uproariously tipsy, and were
obviously ready for anything in the way
of a lark., Of course, Clive made way for
them, and. went into the road; one of the
youths ungratefully acknowledging his
polite cousideratiou for their condition
by calling out, truculently: •
"Wet. ho, Arry! Here's a blooming
swell; let's knock 'is 'at off."
Clive did not. wait for the adoption of
this playful . suggestion; but before he
had gone many yards, he stopped . and
looked round thoughtfully. The hunch-
back and the girl would meet these vul-
gar votaries of Bacchus; it was 'fust oh
the cards that they would be molested by
them; the poor little dwarf was, anything
but an adequate protector for his com-
panion; there might be trouble for 'thenf.
Clive went back -and. it sbb in time, The
tipsy oo1gans had totaned a ring round
lc watt and taie girl, and, probably
without meaning any serious harm, were
dancing and howling round the victims
of their hilarity.
The girl, with the shawl closely drawn
round her face, was clinging affrightediy
to the dwarf, while he, half -dazed by the
noise and impish movements of their tor-
mentors, was threatening and imploring
them by turns.
As Olive came up, one of the young
men, more daring; than the others, was.
expressing a desire, with sundry oaths;
that the girl should show her face; and.
lie made a clutch at her shawl, and tore
from her bead. The girl screamed:
it £o h g ,
and clung still more tightly to her com-
panion.
om
panion, Clive caught the youth by the
back of"his collar, and swung him on to
the pavement the others, startled: by
Clive �s onslaught, drew back; but only for
a moment. After all, they were three to
one, and Miele/mien. Their drunken hil-
arity gave way to angry resentment at
what they no doubt considered an unpro
voked attack upon their friend, and an
impertinent interference with the rights,
of the citizen, 'by a perfect stranger, and,
what was worse, a 'owling swell.•
So they were unwise enough to set upon
Clive with ,fist and hoof: At first Clive
took the onslaught good-naturedly, and,
keeping' them at: arm's length, earnestly
advised them to be off before the police
came; but suddenly one of them, the meet
sober of the party, and therefore the most
capable of mischief, whipped off a heavy
belt from his' delectable person, and
struck out viciously. It just caught Clive
on the cheek; but unfortunately it fell,
buckle end, on'the girl's shoulder. Clive
heard her moan, and saw her sink to the
ground; and; of course,' he grew angry,.
and loot hie temper.
The gentleman with the belt suddenly
struck the pavement with the. back of his
foolish head, another of his joyous com-
panions was hurled with considerable
force against the wall, and the' third, in
avoiding a blow straight from Olive's
shoulder, tripped lip, and sprawled over
his fallen friend. The incident had now
development into. that form of row. which
the reporters are fond of describing as a
"fracas""; and. Olive, as he caught eight
of a policeman tramping with 'orderly
hurry towards diem, saw himself figuring
next morning, in company with a' party
of hooligans and a pair of street musi-
cians, at the nearest police -court.
)3y this time, however, the troublesome
young ruffians had become sober enough
to notice the.appresach of their natural
foe, and, gathering t'hemeelveg to. their
feet, they Made off with the unobtrusive
speed and silence of the proverbial Arabs.
To the demand of the policeman that
he should be informed of the nature of
the trouble, Clive, Who was bending be-
side the hubehhaek,• over the still pros-
trate form of the girl; replied. that they
had been attacked by a party of youths,
and assuring him that the 'trouble was all
over, begged him to follow them, and see
that they did no 'more mischief. The p0-
,iceman alight have hesitated in Comply-
ing with the requcet, and accepting this
easy solution. of the matter; but Clive
very improperly backed it up with half
a sovereign, and the pol:icemau, murmur-
ing:
Yes" he'd better: keep his eye on: them,"
hurried in their direetimi,
By this time the girl had recovered eon-
eelcuaness, if,, indeed, she had altogether
lost it, and riving unsteadily with Olive's
aid, stood trombiniig and swaying to and
fre. She was as yet scarcely able to stand,
and Olive .put his arm round he to sup-

'street in Chelsea, and. as cheerfully den-
ied himself the familiar .luxuries of Carl-
ton dinners, Bond Street clothes, and
ahiliiug, cigars. Of course, he was 'am-
bitious; every man who is worth his salt
desires to maks his mark on the age in
which he lives; but, strange as it may
seem in these pushing, self-seeking days,
Clive's ambition was subordinated to a
genuine desire to help 'the ;people whose
cause he had championed.
To -night he had: scored a great, an
amazing success; he had put his foot on
the first rung of the ladder which' leads
to great things; the applause, the cheers
'were still ringing in hie ears; but sweet
as they were—and why shouldn't they
have been?—the few words of praiee from
rr his leader, and from Lord ' Chee-terleigh
especially, were sweeter to him. His
thoughts turned towards Lady Edith. He
was not a susceptible man,. but it would
have been impossible that he should not
have been struck by her youthful grace
and beauty. His keen eye—and Clive Har-
i+ vey a eye was very keen indeed had noted
the indications of the girl's proud and
haughty spirit but he ',vas not inclined
d dwell u,po11 ten, ; f-oi cal see. she • had
been very gracious to him. She had
.smiled upon him, as the youngest woman
of her class knows how to smile when
she wants to be sweet and to impress a
man favorably. Her voice had softened
when she spoke to him. and her words
were still present with him.
Both father and daughter had given
him a cordial invitation; should he avail
himself of it? Be had got to regard him-
self as an outcast from the exalted sphere
In which they moved; would it be wise
to go back to the flesh -pots of Egypt;
would it be prudent to place himself in
had- he not better
the way of temptation;
stick to "the people" with whom he had
east in his lot?'
Pondering these questions, he had wand-
ered on down Victoria Street and into
Pimlico, so lost in thought that he paid
no heed to the direction which he had
taken; and, suddenly looking round, he
found that he had strolled into one of the
ebabby streets leading off the main thor-
eughfare. The street was nearly deserted,
though it was not very late—the Rouse
,fad risen early—and the ' public -houses
were still open. A drunken man, who was
cheerfully zigzagging home, nearly collid-
ed with Clive; he hiccoughed an apology,
which he made with difficulty, while he
supported himself by clutching Clive's
arm; and it was characteristic of Clive
that he did not push the man away from
him with impatience or disgust; for the
Redland aristocrat
pity lthatedto which the
loathed,
A little further on a sleek cat scratched
at a door, and mewed plaintively, looking
up at Clive and saying quite plainly,
"You're taller than I am; do ring the
bell, or 1 shall 'be shut out all night!"
So Clive stroked tbs cat and rang the
bell. As he walked on he heard the sounds
of, music, and, turning a corner of the
etree!, came upon a public -house. It was
a quiet one, no doubt "need" only by the
inhabitants of the shabby, seedy houses,
and outside on the kerb stood "a man, a
diminutive hunchback, playing a violin,
and playing it well.
Beside him • stood a young girl singing.
It was- not a strong voice, but it was so
sweet a one and with such signs of careful
training that . Clive stood on the other
side of the street and listened. The girl's
back was turned to him,. and she wore a
Shawl over ber head. so that he could see
no part of her face; but he was struck by
a eertain grace in her figure and her.
attitude. She was standing with her bread
slightiv thrown back, her hands loosely
clasped in front.of her; and, as Elbe sang,
the alight girlish figure moved almost
imperceptibly to the rhythm of the music,.
Clive felt the pathos of her presence and
her sweet, low voice,. and he crossed the
road, and stood just behind the pair, so
that he might bear the song more . dis-
tinctly. It came to an end presently, but

The engineer never gave Lala'
meat, but some one fed him once or
twice on "bully beef," and that
seemed to make him restive. He
never really bit anybody, but the
engineer felt it was safest to get rid
of the beast. Be', got off one day at
the' village near the defile, took the

him a,retriever, which had been thea

story in the engineer's own' words:
