mars. Hartopp & Ckwould be glad
" if . Egerton would call, on them to-
snortow Morning, the 28th, at 10 o'clock,
al they bees an important commission
to place in his hands."
For some seconds I gze4 at this note,
eompletedy bewildered,[, then, jumping
from ray chair, I waved It triumphant-
ly (year my head, much/
to the amazemaut and concern of ra pet dog Dick,
who, as usual, was ba44ng gravely be-
fore the fire. It was' seldona indeed,
that he had seen his master so excited.
" At last I at test 1" I'oried. ` Success
at list. The tables are tureing,and work
is-eta:diet th me instead of my seeking
for it." .
For, be it known to the inquiring
0 reader, I was, at. the period of which I
write, a young man who, for a ,greater
leigth of time than I like to tell, had
been strugglieg to obtain a footing in the
arduous profession of letters. And al-
though, before this, I had often appear-
ed in print, yet this was the died com-
mission I had ever had purhato my
I
hands. ,
No wonder that I was elated; 'that in
my heated imagination 1 thought my
fortnue was made, and that success had
indeed come at lest. In short, I felt
like a 'punster when he has obtained his
first brief, or a doctor Shen he receives
hia first patient. Th letter had come
by the morning post, nd, being dated
yesterday, it of course, ade the appoint-
ment for to day. Rattily I finished my
breakfast, and, telling my landlady that
I might be out some/ hours, I departed.
Poor Dick ! he looked longinglyat me.
He wished to be /taken, too; but no,
Dick, you must not borne this morning.
There is no walk over Hampsteadlleath
this morning.; there is sterner business
afoot.
Now I do not Mind oonfeseing that
my heart beat somewhat as I was ush-
ered into the presence of the principal
of the firm of Hariopp & Co.; but his
pleasant manner soon reassured me. I
had seen him but seldom before, for,
though I had call d frequently, offering
MS. (Which We. generally rejected)
I had scarcely e er seen him personal-
ly. .
After p. fevo preliminary remarks as
to my qualifications for literary work.
and research, 111:-. Hartopp said that
although they had not been able to use
all (or nearly all) tlae MSS. I had sub-
mitted, yet whatl they had seen of my
work had led them to believe I couldmidertake the leak they now wished
executed.
I need not Oartionlarize what that
work was; sufficient to iety that it in-
volved a large axfriount of research it
the reading-roon of theRritishMusenm,
and still further • that 'great speed was
absolutely neces ary. " The MS. must
be in our hands jby this day week at
latest; and it w' I be well if you can
bring us portion of it every evening as
you go on. Can you do this? "conclud-
ed Mr. Efartopp, and, as he spoke, I
felt that his keeo gray eyes were read-
ing me like . a betok. At this time I
scarcely knew hdw in the World I Was
to execute the w rk put before me. I
hada dim idea 4f it, and that was all.
But how could 11 shrink back, when the
object for which I had worked and wait-
ed so long Was w'thin my reach? Never.
So I said boldly!that I would accept the
engagement and execute the work to
the best of my ability.
44 That is eigh ," returned Mr. Har-
topp. "I am glad to hear you say so.
I need hardly ti you that, if you satisfy
us in Maiom
-eet°. , we shall be able to
effer you other commissions. It will.
teed, doubtless, to further engagements,
which, I doubt hot, will - be mutually
profitable. He then proceeded to speak
i
of terms, with a hioh, however, I need
not trouble the J reader, and ended by
enjoining secret , '4 which is, of course,
absolutely neceTary in all such oases,
and eapeoially sc in the present one, as
we donbt not but that some other firm
Is engaged in, th d same project."
When I le t the publishing house I
walked hasti y ts the Museum, and all
the way I was pozzling my brains as to
the best method of setting to work. I
am wiser now, ad having more experi-
ence, I knovi be0er how to set about

But when this] result was obtained,
the ring of the t ong warned me that
further work Mast be postponed to-
night, for the hinir of closing had ar-

I departed; with a heavy heart. The
first day wa,s gone, and I had scarcely
made a beginninti, I should have liked
ti
to have been .abl to take in a batch of
XS. this first night, but could. not .do
so. Would Mr. artopp be disappoint-
ed and annoyed T Had light and per-
Ireission been fortheoming I could have
worked on all night.
Early the nextmorning I was at my
post, said was SOfl able to make' pro-
gress. I made copious notes, and was
lade to obtaia °attain valuable informa-
tion. ,
Perhaps it was this success that cans-
• inc to raise my head and think of
rest—and lunch. And as I did so my
heart thrilled vidth a vague sense of
pleasure. Sittieg at the seat next to
mine was a yelling lady whom I had
often previously paoticed in the room,
and with whese . ace I was very fami-
liar, but with velem I had never yet
exchanged a wort/
, whose name I knew
*ol$, and neae whom, until now, I had-
ne ite even sat.

Ana at las th's divine flannel' was

Angie poet of th head, the aoft heir,

somewhat nithetio, but by no means

at once that she was conscious that
"Aesthetic" ideas are really very beauti-
ful in themselves when not pursued too
far and too foolishly.
:However, the olook struck, andI was
reminded that I had no time Ow lose.
Hastily putting my papers together, f;
prepared to go out for half an hour 'for
lunch. Suddenly& thought struts -lame
Was it safe to leave those preditturt pa-
pers there, exposed? They Knight be
taken, or some one might COMO' in in
my absence and read them, and so steal
a rnaroh on me. But I ridiculed the
idea as soon as it occurred to me.

pers, or desk in the British Musenna
reading -room Jest as much asevery
one instinctively obeys the unwritten
law which there obtains, that no one is
to speelt above a whisper, so no one ever
interferes with another's desk.
So, dismissing the subject from my
niind, I hurried to hutch, and was soon
engaged in the pleasant thought of how
I could obtain an introduction to my
starry-eyed young " esthete."
Of courte, although Oar desks for the
day were aide by side, elle might be in
the far wild west of America for all that
I could say to her. between us was
the invisible but very reel and powerful
barrier of conventional; propriety; and
though so near, I yet Sivas fart And
then the time—I had ne tirue for think-
ing of the matter. Thie Werk in hand
must be done, and qutokly too, if I
would be successful, as I meant to be,
and it would require &Rimy thought.
Reeolutely - banishing my fair
" esthete " from my mind, therefore I
httrriedly finished my lenoh and return-
• ed to the reading -r
But when I reached eny seat and was
about to resume rn Oceupation, I utter-
ed an exclamation f h rror, and stood
like one suddenly strucJ into stone, for
a glanoe revealed to me my precious
MS. was gone I' ;

For one minute I attired before me
like one stupefied. .I felt as if I had
been stunned by a sudden blow. 'grasp-
ed the back of the (their for supporaand
I saw it all now,although I could scarce-
ly believe the horrible tenth; all my
labor was lost; some ;one else had
watched me. Success wits taken from
me just as I thought myself natured of
it. I had toiled—another would reap.
Worse than all, my budding reputation
would be gone. `; •
I suppose my behavier must have at-
tracted the attention ofthe gentleman
sitting next me on the Other side, for he
said kindly: •
" Are you ill ?"
"No," I replied faintly; and I re-
member now how the hollowness of my
tones seemed to contradiat the words,
and how strangely they sounded. But
my anger rose,as I said fiercely " Some -
scoundrel has stolen my MS. and noted"
while I have been at Inuch ; they were
most important to me ;I fear their loss
will be an irreparable misfortune. Did
you see any 0118 come -to my desk while
I was out ?"
"No;• I have bnt recently come," he
rejoined.
"Oh, but I saw some ohe," said my
fair aesthete, suddenly, and I remember
now how her voice thrilled me, It was
the first time I had heard her speak,
and I could almost forgive the loss of
any MS. because it had:caused' me to
hear her veice.
But I replied hastily:
" Who was it?"
"A tall, thin gentlemen, with wavy
hair and a gray coat. 9f course I did
not know but that he was a friend of
'yours. He came and glanced coolly
over the desk, and then took away the
papers.%
"Should you know. him again, if you
oaw him ?" I asked eagerly.
"Oh, yea I I am snroi I should," she
replied. .
The suggestion of the gentleman on
the other side was more to the point:
"1 should give information to the super-
intendent of the room, and also ask the
attendants at the doorsif they had no-
ticed any one dressed es described, go
out recently." ;
I did as he suggested, and very soon
a notice was fixed to the -door of the
room, apprising the public of my loss,
said offering a reward for information
which would lead to the conviction of
the offender; meanwhile, I had ques-
tioned the attendant, who remembered
perfectly the tall man ie the _gray coat,
and said that he had gone out about a
quarter of an hour since. A quarter of
an hour. Time enough for him to have
got coropletely beyond my power of
search.
• That was all I could discover, and in
great anxiety I returned to my seat.
As I did so I remember now how the
starry eyes of my new-found friend'
glanced shyly and sympathizingly at
Me.
must have appeared very dejected,
for ahe said presently, ie a tone of deep
solicitude, "1 am very sorry for you,but
could you not make up for lost time by
working quickly."
'That is just the difficulty," I replied;
"this MS. is wanted at once. I have
already been too long over it. It is a
cruel loss to me."
To my ardent -imagination I was now
as completely ruined as previously I
had thought my fortune made. • The
reader will notice that my temperament
is very mercurial, and apt to , rise very
high or descend very low at the slightest
provocation. But even allowing for
this extreme view, the situation was
sufficiently serious, for the loss of the
MS. would seriously militate against my
success in the immediate future.
In a few words I explained this to my
newly -found friend, who at once saw
the difficulty of my position andthe
reason of my anxiety.But what was to be
done ? Could nothing be done to re-
trieve my loss?"
At that raoment an old gentleman
came up and spoke to the young lady
near me, and even now I oan recall that
a pang of jealousy shot through my
heart. At the first glance I could . see
that he was what some persons con-
temptously term " a literary hack," Out
for all that he seemed perfectly happy
and contented.
But these thoughts were interrupted
by the old gentleman turning to/ me
and saying, in that whisper whinh is
the regulation voicein the reading.
room
"Miss Miller tells me you have had
an important manuscript stolen; what
was it ?"
I Mentioned the name and detailed
the work on which I was engaged,
which, for obvious reasons, s sup-
pressed.
He repeated it oter to himself two or
three times, with his '.: forefinger placed
on his foreheadias though he was thinkingdeeply. Then hs, said :
- ' " Why, Hinton !& Co., announcie a
new and carefully &mod edition of that
work. It is to be reedy early -next

.anxiety. They cannot possibly publish
;at the time. I promised some of the
NS. last night. I am ruined in .their
estimation at least, They will never
forgive roe for so bengling the matter."
" Yes, it is serious " he replied thought-
fully. . t
At that moment One of the courteous
_
attendants came tome.

." Mr. Egeeton ?" e asked, looking at
me. :. •
"Yes," I replied.;
"A note just left for you, sir, at
the reading -room door. The bearer
waits." 1
I tore it open with feverish eagerness
although I guessed 'too well what its
contents were. ,
I read it over with throbbing temples
end burning brain. This was the gist
of it: "Please give bearer any copy
you may have ready, if only a page. We
are surprised at not having received any
from you.— HartopP & Co."
Without a word I showed it to my
eoinpanion, and. sighed heavily.
" Oh, come! don't giveway like that,"
he eried. "Write book thus:
'a ' lenuch regret that at present I
have noocopy' ready ; search has neces-
sarily been long and arduous. But I
have found the requiisite information at
last, and hope to send you a lerge batch
of copy soon."
Mechanically. I wrote the words as
they were diotatedeand then, ,folding up
t e paper, directed it and took it to the
or and gave it to the messenger from
Hartopp & Co. 1
When 1 returned to my seat, the old
gentleman and the young lady were
eagerly scanning the columns of last
week's Atheneum, and as I approached.
he cried -in an excited whisper:
"Here it is, here it is ; I thought I
saw it the other day."

An interesting anecdote°, Lord Bea-
consfield when quite aSroung man has
recently been given to the world, by one
who knew him. Lord Lytton (then
Edward Bulwer) entertained at dinner
four gentleman, who afterwards became
distinguished, viz.: Monckton Milnes
(Lord Houghton); Alexander Cockburn
(Lord Chief Justice, lately deceased),
Disraeli (Lord Beaconsfield),and Henry
Bulwer (Lord Darling). None was then
personaily acquainted with Disraeli,
who came late; and a strange appear -
snot) he made. He was then a far more
athletic figure than you imagine him,
perhaps; appeared in a daring coat of
bright color, a yellow: waistcoat, green
velvet trousers, and low shoes with
eilver buckles. The impression he made
was not favorable. They sat down to
dinner, and every man talked his best,
end there was a bright rattle of
conversation, as you may suppose.
'4 We were all in good cue, all emulous,
and all well satisfied with ourselves,
gepend on it. There was not one among
is who had not plenty of confidence iri
himself at all times, and more than a
hope of future greatness; and yet if,
when we separated, we had each been
taken aside and put upon our honor to
say who was the cleverest man in the
party, every one of as would have an-
ewered, “ The man in green velvet
trousers."

stook of Roots and Shoes as can be found in the County of Huron. Every line is
fully represented, from the largest and strongest cow hide to the smallest, most
stylish and.neatest ladles' slipper. Every person should call and examine my
stook before purchasing elsewhere. It always affords me the greatest pleasare to
wait upoe easterners, especially when they know what they want, and when they
don't knoW I can tell them.

experience, I can guarantee a nice, easy fit every time. Remember, if you want
to get satisfaction and make money, WILLIS is your man. The right spot
