Il was a lovely May morning, a

juile young man who, as A inly com
pleted his arrange inputs before Mart
i 1 1 U , wa rln'il liiui, wllli a melancholy
air, from the curbstone. For this
pale young man, whose name was
Warner, by t-p.-ci tl permission of the
eoinpauy, ( whom a l)"iievohii( cler
gyman hail appealeil on Warner's be
half, came every morning at 7 o'clock
to see if there was a conductor oil'
Win k, ami. if Ih --re was, to lake his
place on the omnibus.
For (he last iii'inth he had presented
himself regularly, ami the men had
conic (o know and have u kindly feel
ing toward him; bill in lli.it month lit
had only been on duty seven days.
This fact inevitably raised the qnes
(ion as to what Warner did with him
self when no vacancies occurred. He
did not look as if he did any I liiiir very
remunerative.
Archy's omnibus Marled last, and he
had two or three minutes to spare; so,
being a sociable lining fellow, ho
crossed over to speak to Warner, who,
for his put, responded with an anx
ious god-will in which, if An by had
known, there was a certain undercur
rent of penitence. Tin fact was,
Warner had jut been I looking, as he

from him were an appeal to any ouu
conversant w illi the city. He lived a

Then he cheeked himself, as if he had
faid (oo much, and added quite hope,
fully, "lint it's ii long hiuo that has no
turning, isn't it .''
S more pa-sed between them just
then, for tin conductor')) lime was up.
Kill (he next morning, as his eyes
encountered (ho depressed-looking
figure, again, a sudden impulse seized
h in.
"Can you take my place, today?'' ho
said, accosting Warner; "I'm awfully
anxious to have the day, hut 1 can't
risk getting sacked."
Warner' face beamed. "I (old
Janet (his morning," he Raid, as ho
followed Archy, "I'd a feeling I
elioulil be ill luck today.''
"It's jut here," said Archy, staring
Mrnighl before him. "I'm thinking of
going down into the country for a day
or Iwo r maybe, more 1 can't ex
nelly (ell, not being on the ipot, how
long I may require to stay. And it
would ho it load oil' my mind to know
my place wouldn't be snapped u.i."
'I'll keep it for you," said Warner
energetically, "and give it up to you
xvhcit you come hack : for it's a queer
thing, as I know, to be thrown out of
work. And I'm sure I hope you'll
have a pleasant jour:n y. I lean I ilu I

ain't it?"
'Ah!" said Archie. "Yes, (he

you say, about (his lime of the year."
lit grasped Warner's hand, and
turned away. After all, he b id don.;
nothing r'liiarkable; and yet, such
was (he serene benignity of his tone
ond manner, that for a moment War
ner stood stock-still on (he pavement,
Mating nfier him.
Archy went back lo his lodgings:
lull he could no- rest there, and soon
lie went out again, lie found him-elf
wondering whal Warner's wife and
child were like, and it stunk him. that
as he had nothing eUe to do, he Would
go round by I ilk sued.
Jt was a small ircet of tiny, jerry-
built houses, with their iiuinhcm in
scribed very legibly on the doors, so
that Archy had no dillicully iu recog
nizing SM. There was a brown blind
over (he lower half of Hie window;
hut Archy's tall head rose, above it,
and as he passed he glanced furtively
in, as if it were a crime. It was a
small hare room, with no furniture
but a deal (able, n box or two, and an
old rocking-chair drawn up to the
hcarlh, whose lire had gone out. On
that ro king-chair a girl was silling,
wilh a baby in her arms, rocking
slow ly lo and fro, and singing wearily,
over ami over again,
" J'Iiltc Is not In tint tvl.lc w ort.l a vtllcy
6') sweet."
A mere ffirl she looked, but very
wasted, and her cheeks had not a tinge
of color; and yet it was oiu! of the
sweetest faces, Archy thought, that he
had ever seen. If this was Warner's
wife, perhaps he was a lucky follow
nfler all.
lie wondered if there was anything
to eat in (he house. She did not look
as if (here was. Nut, for the life of
him, he dared neither u-k her, nor
order anything to be s.-nt from the
nearest provision dealer's; and though
he thought of all kinds of expedients
for gelling a shilling inside (lie door
(hat should look as if it belonged lo
one of (hem, and had been mislaid,
none of (hem were feisible. If il had
been du-k, he thought, scanning the
water-spout with a critical eye, In
might have clambered on the root and
dropped the shilling down (he chim
ney. He was nearly as tail a the
house already, and he could climb like
a sailor, lint it was broad daylight:
and at last - he h id Im en lounging all
(his time in front of a small grocer's
shop eloso ,y he turned away in de
spair, rellecling that, after all, Warner
had had a day's work on Monday, and
il w as on'y Wednesday, lie would
go now into some oilier quarter of the
city, and look for work himself. For
work? Well, jes. li was hardly that
he consciously made uphis mind lo do
so. Nut (hat was w hat Icj did.
It was a month hiler, and Archy
had not gone back to hi- old position.
.Neither, however, had he found regu
lar work. If he had gone lo tin' right
ipiarlers, it may he said, of course, he
might have found it. An by s:o l,
indeed, for a Hi' nii"i)t outside the
doors of the general relief coiiimitlee,

missed from, and yet could not go
hack to, owing to having heard a
while-faced girl through a w indow,
singing the "Meeting of the Waier.s"
as rela'ed to a credulous relief com
mittee, struck him so forcibly that he
hroko into a loud laugh as In: turned
a way.
Hill il was not a cheery laugh.
Though he had given up his old lodg
ing and been si .epiug when! he could,
the few pence he contrived lo earn
were not enough to keep him, ami for
weeks he h id not had a h arty meal.
A dull despair w as creeping over him ;
bill he I ramped iiliudly on, asking for
work, till In: fancied that the ollieials
al dillerent establishment worn look
ing on him with suspicion, as one
whom l hey had refused before. And
all the lime he knew thai he might go
hack lo his old place. Warner would
give it up w ithout a murmur, or a
grudge; ho was that kind of fellow.
Then he fancied Warner going home
lo tell his wife the news, and Iheii lie
fell lo wondering how they were gel
ling on. He fancied he would go and
gee.
That day, when Warner's omnibus
slopped al (he end of (he route, ai I
o'clock, ever, passenger had left il.
They had a quarter of an hour lo wail,
mid (he driver slipped hastily across lo
his favorite public house, which was
conveniently situated. Warner looked
eagerly up and dow n (lie street, as if
expecting some one, Im'. it was almost
deserted. There was a policeman a
little way down ; (here was a shahhy
looking fellow standing al the corner,
against a 'am i-posl, with his hat
slouched over his eves no one else.
Warner's face fell, but il lightened
again in a moment, as a girlish figure
emerged from a slreel nearly opposite,
uud i an I ghtly across lo the omnibus.
Warner held out his hand and she
sprang in.
'Here it is," she said proudly, un
packing the small bikol. "You
can't guess w h it I've made you for
dinner today, a'ld, if you eal it now, I
do believe it w ill he hot."
"Meat pie, .laud!" -aid Warner.
"Well, you aie a cook ami no mis.
take. I've twelve minutes blest if
(here ain't that unfortunate old lady
who nlw iy c mi a quarter of an
hour before wc'ieiiuied lo start."
"he's a long way oil'," said Janet,
wilh a look of disappointment. "(o
on wilh 'our pie. Will; she won't ho
here vet aw bile.''
"Very well then," said Warner re
luctantly. "Hang the old girl look
ut her umbrella !''
They kissed each oiler hastily in
I lie omnibus, thinking Unit no one saw
(hem. I, east of all, the aimless vaga
bond at the cornel, with hat slouched
over his eves, who was looking til
nothing, lie ah, no! Then Janet
sprang down again; and presently tint
old lady mounted the step, and War
ner ale his meat pie furtively, between
maintaining a conversation on (ho
drink liallic, a subject in which his
passenger seemed lo lake all absorbing
interest ; bill then ,-lie had had her
lunch before she started.
Yet Warner had also time (o reflect
pleasantly on how much belter Janet
was looking', ami w hat a color she had,
and wondered a' so if Ihe young man
who had gone into th unlry would
be back tomorrow, ami couldn't help
hoping not. Then more pas-engers
entered, and the driver hurried back
at the last moment, smiling ; largo
