A dull red flush mounted fca the listener's cheeks, a passionate warmth flooded his heart almost to overflowing but even the quick aanguineuess of his mercurial disposi- tion could not grasp the roseate vision in. its entirety. Its very contemplation was too dangerous for ordinary peace of mind. "One more thing I wish to know," said he, reverting doggedly to the original topic.

There are some of us born and reared far en.3iigh beyond the contaminating influences of evil, who, nevertheless, take so naturally to tascality, that one is prone to ask a ques- tion as to whether it is not the outcome sotno hoieiitary taint of mental disease. To this aberrant class, Antliony Wingate, late of the (i-.i33u's Own .Scarlets, naturally be- longed. (Jommencing a promising career with every advautagj conferred by birth, training, and e.Iucatiou, to say nothing of the possession of a consideial'le fortune, he had quickly qualified hi:uself for a iirominent position amojigrit til ose cavaliers of fortune who hov- er on tlis debatable laud between aclinow- ledged vice and apparent respectability. In tha language of certain contemporaries, he had once been a pigeon l,efore his callow phiituige hivl.been stripped, and it became liKce.ssiry t lay out his dearly- boiight experience in tlie character of a hawk. Five years of army life h;Ml sufficed to dissipate a handsome patri- mony five years of racing and gambling, with their concomitant vices, at the end of wiiioh he awoke to riml himself with an empty pur.-e, aiid a large and varied assort- ment of worldly knowledge. Up to this point, he Lad merely, been regarded as a companion to be avoided; as jet, nothing absolutely dishonourable had been laid to his charge, only tliat common report stated that Anthony Wingate was in dirticulties and unless he and his bosom frienl Chris Ashton luads a radical change, the Scarlets would speedily liave cause to laourn their irrepar- able defection. But, unfortunately, neither of them con- templated so desirable a consummation. In every regiment tliere are alwaj's one or two iast yoiiiig "siib-s" with a passion for fiiri'e and iiiilituited loo, and who h.we no objec- tion to payin^r for that enviable knowledge. For a titus iliis pleasant condition of affairs lasted, till at length the crash came. Ono young officer, more astute than the rest, de- tected the cheats, and promptly laid the •matter before his sjrotllers-in-arms.

Winches- ior, tied to his ea.^el by a commission which, if not mucli, meant at least oard and lodge iug, looked at the b head longingly. Despite the oppressive overpowering heat, the artist worked steadily on for the next tluee hours.

In passing the group of chiMren, siie paused for a moment, and selecting one or two of the cleanest, di- vided between them the contents of a paper parcel s'ne carried. Directly she had disappeared, a free fi'dit for the spoils ensued. The interested spectator waited a moment to see v.diich way tiie battle was going, and then liurried down the stairs and out into the street to- wards the combatants. The presence of the new ally was sorely needed. The three re- ]5re3eiit xtives of the house of Chivers were faring sorely in the hands of the common foe. In that commonwealth all signs of favor v,-ere sternly discountenanced. "Wliat do you mean by that " Winches- ter demanded, just in time to save the wiiole of the precious sweetmeats. "Don't you know it is stealing, you great girls, to rob those poor little children " "They don't mean it, bless you," said a voice at the rnediators elbow ' 'and they don't know any better. It's part of their natme, that's wot it is." Winchester turned round, and encounter- ed the thickset form and sullen features of his Arlington Street acquaintance. As their eyes met, those of Chivers fell, and he mut- tered some incoherent form of thanks and acknowledgment for the past service. Pres- ently he went on to explain. "You see, my wife is better brought up than most of them aljont here, and she ia try to keep the chilflr^n ije^t and tidy aiir^ that makes the others i«a.1on« TI,».r o,v«^. smiilng ofTapring, "cause mother has been poorly lately, and I've been out o' luck too." In spite of his shamefaced manner and the furtive look common to every criminal, there wa» something in the man's blunt candour that appeale(l..to ..Winchester's better feel- Lng-s. Besides, knowing something of the ex-convict and his doubtful connectioit with "Wingate, it-^sis to' bis interest to conciliate his companion with a viiew to possible future advantage, "It must be a misei^ble life, yours," he said not unkindly. "Better, far better, tiy something honest. You will riot regret it by-and-by." "Honest, sir Would to heaven I could get the chance You are a gentleman I can see that, though you do live here and know what misfortune is. If I could only speak with you and get your advice. You have been kind to me, and good to my poor little ones, and I'mâ€" I'm not ungrateful. If I could help you " Winchester laid his hand upon his com panipn's shoulder with his most winning manner. He began to feel hopefuL "You can help me a great deal," said he "come up to my room and talk the niatler over.' It was a very ordinary tale to which he had to listen. "I was a carpenter and joiner, v.dth a fair knowledge of locksmith's work, before I came to London. I was married just before then, and came up here thinking to better myself. It wasn't long before I wished myself back at home. I did get some work at last, such as it was, a day here and a day there till I became sick and tired of it, and ready for anything almost. .1 needu't tell you how I got with a set of loose companions, and how I was persuaded to johi them. ... I got twelve months, and oiily came out ten weeks ago. I liave tried to be honest. But it's no use, what with one temx)tation and an- other. "And so you have determined to try your hand again. You run all the risk, and your gentlemanly friend gets all the plunder. " It v.'as a bold stroke on Winchester's part but the success was never for a mo- ment in doubt. Chivers's coarse features relaxed into a perfect apathy of terror. He looked at tiie speaker in speechless terror and emotion. "We will waive that for the present," Winchester continued. "What I wish to know is how you have, contrived to li\-e for the past ten weeks " ' 'I wascoming to tiiiit, sir, when you stopped me. You see, when tlie trouble came, my poor wife didn't care to let her friends know of the .iisgraxie, and tried hard to keep herself for a time. But illness came too, and she and the little ones were well-nigh starving. Mary, my v/ife, sir, remembered once that she was in service with an old lady whose niece came into a large fortune. Well, she just VvTote to her and told her everything.

' POIHTS ABWPE PftarCE?EE. Presently, after wiping liis eyes with the tattered fi.r cap, he ventured to r.cise his eyes to liis host. "You don't mean to say it's Mr. Winchester? "he asked brokenly. "Indeed, I am ashamed to say it is. This world of ours is a very small place, Ben, and tliis is a very strange situation for you and me to meet. But before we begin to say anytliing toueliing old times, there is some- thing serious to be discnssed between us. Remember, you are altogether iu my hands. I miglit liave waited my opportunity and caught j'ou re 1-haiided.

Once more the old look of frightened ter- ror passed like a s]asm acio.ss t!ie convict's lieavy features. But taking heart of grace from Wiiiciiaster's benign expression, he. after a long pause, proceeded. " I don't know how he found me out, or Vrdiy he came to tempt meâ€" not that I requir- el much of that either.

If you Popular at Home and Abroadâ€" Incidents of His Trip on tbe Bacebante. The young prince captain of the ...British warship Thrush now lying at Halifax, is al- most as popular as his father, the Prince of Wales. His brother, the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, heir presumptive to that im- perial and royal crown which from the bleak hillside of Scone has grown to ovei'shadow so much of the civilized v/orld never achiev- ed the place in popular favor that is held by Prince -George. The latter has a reputa- tion for heartiness and lack of display wliich has endeared him to Englishmen, and he is, moreover, aocounted an excellent sftilor, a quality that in the greatest maritime nation of the world could not fail to bring popu- larity. His full name is George -Frederick Ernest Albert and he was born at Marl- borough House in June, 1865. He is there- fore only twenty-five years old, but he is a lieutenant in the na'vy of Great Britain. Prince George has been in the navy since 1879, passing through all the various grades up to his present rau'u. In 1881 and 1882 he, Avith his brother, made a trip around the world as officers of the Bacchante. Tlie ports visited were principally those of^Britisli colonies. At the end of the Chaise the two young princes published a book about it. It was written" partly by Prince Albert Victor, partly by Prince George and jjartly, so rumor hath it, by their ' tutor. The book bears evidence of this composite workmanship. Prince George writes like a fun-loving young midshipman and speaks of his Ijrother as "Eddie." Prince Alljert Victor writes in a less frank and jolly manner and calls his brothei "Georgie." The book is peppered as it were, all through with statistics and more or less wise reflections on the state of trade in tlie colonies, which are taken to he the staid and rather pedantic productions 6f the tutor. It is said tliat wMIe on this cruise Prince George once threw himself on a transom in in the gun-room of the Baccliante and said, " 'Eddie,' get down your violin and play 'God save your grandmother.'" Wherever Prince George went he was pojjularaud v.as "up to" all sorts of pranks common 'to young middies. Now that he has leaclied tlie niature age of twenty-five and is in com- mand of a sliip, lie feels the weiglit and responsibility of his place and is as steady as a luaii of forty. Among Prince George's other titles is that of. Naval Aide to t'ne Queen. -â€" Household Hints. Wash the mica of thp „* salt and vmegar. '°^'« d^r.

Secondly, tliat tlie crime appears to be ahiiost always discovered and punislie.l.

Ma»y women are put to death in Iiidi:i, as iu other iiarts of the East, from motives of jealousy. If a man v.-islies to destroy Ids wife and does not fear dying for the act, Vidoci[ himself could not prevent him. And so v.-ith this destruction of children. A law could be passed prohibiting their wearing ornaments, but if they do wear oruamenis no law can prevent and no vigilance hinder persons who will risk being hanged from murdering thein. It will be remembered that among Hiiidss the son has the duty of peTforniiug the religi- ous rites to his deadfather, andmale children are on this accoimt, among others, much valued and indulged. And affection often displays itself by placing necklaces roniul their throats, charms and horoscopes cased ill silver upon their arms, and bangles ou their wrists.
