It )'*oust be owned that thele are few ,things so trying as fussiness, par- - .ticelarly in a man, of whom such •weakness seems unworthy. And Mr Horner was the 'most fussy ” mortal on earth. It seemed as if he called forth all that was bad in Frithiof, and Frithiof also called :-� oat everything that was bad in him. .The breach between the two was made wider by a most trivial incident. -A miserable looking dog unluckily made its way into the shop one morning and disturbed Mr -Horner in his sanctum. 'What is the meaning of this?' be exclaiihed, bearing down upon Frithiof. 'Can you not keep stray curs off the premises? Just now too, with hydrophobia raging!'

'Whydo you like met 'I was tired, and you was kind to me, and these is real jammy!' But after this fervent little speech, he said no more. He did not, as a Norwegian childwould have done, shake hands as a sign of gratitude, or say in the pretty Norse way, 'Tak for maden'(thanks for the meal); there had never been anyone to teach him the expression of the courtesies of life, andwith him they were not innate. He merelylooked at his friend with shining eyes like some animal that feels but cannot speakits gratitude. Then before long the father reappeared, and the little fellow with one shy nod ofthe head ran off, looking back wist fullyeverynow and then at the stranger w wouldbe remem ere byhim to the very end of his life The next day something happen - which added the last drop to Frithiof's cup of misery, and made it overflow. The troubles ofthe est year, and the loneliness and overt which he had borne, had gradually broken down hishealth, and there came to him now a re- velation which proved the final blow. He was dining at his usu- al restaurant. Too tired to eat much, he had taken up a bit of one of the societypapers which some one had left there, and his eye fell on one of those detestable paragraphs which ander to the very lowest tastes of the public. actual name was given, but anyone know - in anything about her couldnot fail to see that Blanche Romraux was the womanl referred to. The most revoltinginsinuations, the moat contemptible gossip, ended with the words, 'An interesting divorce case may soon be expected.' Frithiof grew deathly white. He tried to believe that it was all a lie, tired to work himself np into a rage against the editor of the pa- per, tried to assurehimselfthat, whatever Blanche might have been before marriage, that after it she must necessarily became all that was womanly and pure. But deep down in his heart there lurked a fearful conviction that in the wain this story was true. Feeling sick and giddy, he made his way along Oxford Street, noticing nothing, 4u Mt litty t tniiio ;> esti ewe, be *ugly into ai a t4 Qf blank deprealrion.

'I can bear it no longer,' he said to himself. 'I have tried to near this life, 'out it is no use—no use.' Yet after awhile there rose with- in a thoughtchecked the 'n h which oboe d h I haunting visions of failure and the longing for death. He remembered the face which had so greatly struck him the day before, and again those kindly words rang in his ears, 'Courage! tho worst will pass.' Who was this man? What gave him his extraordinary influence ?— How had he gained his insight and sympathy, and fearless brightness? If one man had attained to all this, why not any man?. Might not life still hold for him something that was worth haying ? There floated back to Lim the remembrance of the last pleasurable moment he had known; it was the sight of the child's enjoyment of the strawberries. At length closing time came. He dragged himself back to Vauxhall, shut himself into his dreary little room, pulled the table towards the open windo w, and began to work at Herr Sivertsen's translating. Night after night.he had gone on, with the dogged courage of his old Vik- ing ancestors, upheld by the same fierce, fighting nature which had made them the terror of the North. But at last be was at the very end of his strength. A violent shiver- ing fit seized him. Work was no longer possible; he could only stag- ger to the bed, with the terrible consciousness of being utterly and hopelessly beaten, v.ihich to a man is so hard to bear. Oppressed by a frightful sense of loneliness, dazed by physical pain, and tortured by the thought of Blanche's disgrace, there was yet one thing which gave him moments of relief—like a child he strained his eyes to see the picture of Ber- gen which hung by the bedside. Later on, when the summer twilight deepened into night, and he could no longer make out the harbor, and the shipping, and the familiar mountains, • he buried his face in the pillow and sobbed aloud in a forlorn misery which, even in Paradise, must have wrung his mother's heart. Roy Boniface came back from Devonshire the following day, his holiday being shortened by a week on account of the illness of Mrs Horner's uncle. As there was every reason to expect a legacy from this aged relative, Mr Horner insisted on going down at once to see whether they could be of any use; and since the shop was never left without one ofa the partners, poor Roy, anathematizing the whole race of the Horners, had to come back and endure as beet he might a London August . and an empty house. a Like many other business men he relieved the monotony of his daily work by always keeping two or three hobbies in hand. The mania for collecting had always been en- couraged at Rowan Tree House, and just now botany was his keen- est delight. It was even perhaps absorbing too much of his time, and Cecil used laughingly to tell him that her loved it more than all the men and women in the world put together. He was con- tentedly mounting specimens on the night of his return, when James Horner looked in, the :respective legacy making him more than ever fussy and pompous. 'Ah, so you have come back; that is all right!' he exclaimed. 'I had hoped you would have come round to es, however, no matter, I don't know that there is anything special to say, and of course this sad news has upset my wife very much.' 'Ah,' said Roy, somewhat skep- tical in his heart of hearts about the depth of her grief. ' 'We were sorry to hear about it.' 'Wo go down the first thing to- morrow,' said J ames Horner, 'and shall, of course, stay on. They say there is no hope of recovery.' 'What do you think of that?' said Roy; pointing to a very minute flower which he had just mounted. 'It is the first time it has ever been found in England.' 'H'm, is it really?' said James Horner, regarding it with that would-be interested air, that bored perplexity,which Roy tool° a wicked delight in calling forth. 'Well, you know, I don't understand,' he added, 'how a practical man like you can take en interest in such trumpery bits of things. What are your flow- ers worth when you've done them? Now, }f you took to collecling au- tographs, there'd be some sense in that, for I understand that a fine collection of autographs fetches a good round sum in the market.

'I know another of his songs, gl and thought this bore a sort of likeness to it,' said Frithiof, pleased with his success. 'You know much more of Eog- lish music than i do, most likely,' y said the Italian, 'yet surely you too are a. foreigner.' 'Yes,' replied Frithiof, 'I am Norwegian. I have only been here for nine months, but to' try and learn a little about the music h is the only interesting part of this PP work.' The stranger's sympathetic insight showed him much of the weariness and discontent, and 'Heinweh' ho b d which lay beneath these words. 1•f 'Ah, yea; he said, 'I suppose h' both work and country seem flat and dull after your life among the fjords and mountains. I know h well enough the depression of one's first year in a new climate. But P courage! the worst will past. I poverty k have grown to love this England which once I detested.' 'It is the airlessness of London which depresses one,' said poor Frithiof, rolling up the song. 'Yes, it is certainly very oppres- h' h give to day,' said the Italian; 'I am adrry to have given you so much trouble in hunting up this song for p me. We may as well take it with h bl' Ne us, Gigi, as we are going home.' And then with'a pleasant fare- g y g well the stranger bowed and went out of the shop, leaving behind him a memory which did more to pre- vent the blue devils from gaining d d the mastery of Frithiof's mind than anything else could possibly done. When he left, however, at his usual dinner hour he was without the slightest inclination to eat, and with a craving for some relief from the montooy of the glaring streets he walked up to Regent's Park, h hoping that there perhaps he g might find the fresh air for which he, was longing. He thought much of his unknown customer, half laughing to himself now and then to think that such a chance en- counter should have made upon him so deep an impression, should h' have awakened within him deaires walking like a man in a dream. such as he had never before felt for Juat in front of Buzzard's a Vic - a life which should be higher, nob!- toria was waiting, and a remark- er, more manly than his past. ably good looking man stood on the 'Come along, will you!' shouted pavement talking to its occupant. a rough voice behind him.
