CHAPTER IV.
"JLiacy, my dear,” said Mfs. Dawbarn the
-ext morning as sbo entered the invalid'*
, Ember, “I and papa have been talking
-bout you.” mamma," said Lacy, with
i “Yes, an evi-
H e ut want of interest in tho subject,
, i
“Jitfd what do you think Jie savsr
“Don’t know, mamma."
“He’s going to make some alterations in
the bank.’’
“Ob, indeed!”
jliss Lucy had not the smallest solicitude
-bout the bank.
“And what else do you think?”
“Oh, mamma, I am so tired,” said Lucy
II 'peevishly. ‘ else do think he
“What you means to dor
continued Mrs. Da whom, bending her ma¬
tronly head over her daughter’s face, and
ft pouring into her ear words that mttdo tho
girl flush scarlet uud her eyes flash.
6 “Oh, mamma, it can’t bo true!”
:
“My love, could I deceive you?”
“No, dear mamma, no; but oh, is it true?
Kiss me, mamma dear. I am so happy and
!0 thankful, and—and in a little time, when
pro thought Over I’ll how happy I am, papa
W ay come in, and kiss him and thank
him. and tell him how grateful I am too,
“ »nd”--
But poor Lucy could get no further, and
gobbed and wept with delight.
•, “My darling, kiss me now,” said her father,
advancing from tho door, behind which he
had watched the effect of the news. “I’ll do
anything to mako you happy—anything."
S? “Opapal tag osra papa!”
-
: i »My darling, you’ll love mo now again as
you used to do, won’t you? and—and—there’k
Mr. Bob Studden’s knock. I’ll send that fel¬
low off to New York—I mean to Liverpool,
this very night.”
Mr. Bob Studden was waiting in tho dining
room. He was so changed in face, dress, ap¬
pearance and manner that when Mr, Daw-
barn saw him ho started and said:
“Are you Mr. Robert Studden f”
"Yes, Mr. Dawbarn, it’s mo,” said the fa¬
miliar voice. “I dare say you find mo
changed. I do myself.”
Ho was indeed altered. In place of the
spick, spau, new, natty, drossy, shiuy, oily,
varnished Bob, tbo delight of barmaids and
the envy of grooms, stood a shabby, cordu¬
roy trousered, waistcoutless vagabond, smell¬
ing of straw and porter. Mr. Dawbarn hesi¬
tated before he asked him to sit down.
“I got your letter, sir,” said Bob, whose
manner was as deferential ns his clothes were
shabby, “and camo on immediately. Sorry
I couldn’t present myself more decently; but
such is fate.”
“What are you doing now, Mr. Studden f”
asked the banker.
“At present, sir, replied Bob, “I am stable¬
man at the Cock and Bottle.”
“Good gracious 1”
“It’s not what I could wish, sir, but it’s
better than nothing. I’m sorry to say I’m
only employed there two days a week—Mon¬
days and market days; but still, what with
odd jobs, I manago to grub on."
Mr. Dawbarn looked at tho ex-betting
man’s wan face and wistful eyes, and asked
him if he would tako a glass of \vine.
Boh shot a quick glance, and said that he
would; aud in tho keen look Mr. Dawbarn
read hunger.
“Tho sherry,” said tho banker to a servant,
“and bring lunch—somo cold roast *beef—
and—you know; aud when we’ve lunched,
Mr. Studden, we’ll talk business.”
Mr. Studden’s performance upon tho beef
was so extraordinary that tho banker feared
that he would commit involuntary suicide.
It was with a feeling of intense relief that ho
saw him attack the cheese; but the attack
was so prolonged that Mr. Dawbarn feared
lest tho suffocation tho beef bad left unac¬
complished should bo effected by the Stilton.
“Not any more, sir, thank you,” answered
Bob to his host’s complimentary question.
“I never tasted such a cheese—and as for the
beef, it’s beautiful. I haven’t tasted animal
food for these ten days. For red herring is
not animal food ony more than a lump of
salt is, and I’m sick of red herrings. Soak
’em in as much hot water as you like, they
always taste of lucifers; perhaps because they
lie next to ’em in the shop. I may thank you,
Mr. Dawbarn, for a real meal such as 1
haven’t had for—for”-
Tho wine Mr. Studden had drunk seemed
to kavo got into his head, and from his head
into his eyes. Men are strange creatures—
and even betting men are men—and whether
it was the memory of bygone days, or tho
wine, or the bread, or tho butter, or the beef,
or tho cheese that affected him, cannot be
ascertained, but one of tbeso causes, or some
of them, or all, caused Bob Studden to lay
his head upon his arms, and to cry copiously.
Ho then began accusing himself, and say¬
ing that ho was a bad lot; that ho wa mis¬
erable and repented; that his life was
an hourly curse to him; that he know
ho had brought it all upon him¬
self; that all his friends had-,. de¬
serted him, particularly those win > had shared
his hospitality, aud even his money, when l o
was prosperous; that tho man who owed his
rise iu lifo to him, and whom he had assisted
at a crisis, had behaved to him with an in¬
gratitude that stung him to the soul; that he
was half starved and had no bed but in tho
stable; that he was ruined—ruined —and had
no hope.
When tho poor, broken down gamester laid
exhausted himself, the banker began. He
told him that he (the banker) had been ad¬
vised to offer him (Studden) employment
because he knew him to be Intelligent, and
hoped that his past sufferings had been a
warning to him for the future; that tho busi¬
ness ho wished to employ him on was thfli- j
vult and delicate, being no less than to go to '
New York and from there to wherever else j
it might be necessary to travel, in sc:..-ok I
of Mr. Mpnro; that money would be pro¬
vided and letters furnished him, ami that
ho was required to start for Liverpool that
very night; that it was hoped he w ould not
lightly give up a chance that offered Liimre-
dcmpUbu for tho past and a fine prospect for
the future.
“I’ll do it; I'll do it!” said Bob, rising and
grasping the banker’s hand; “and God bless
you, Mr. Dawbaru, for giving a poor outcast
devil hue mo tho chance, i’ll not deceive
you, sir, if I do”-
“Ilush, hush, Mr. Studden.” sir—
“You’ll mako a man cf me, a max!
I'll be true as steel, i'll not Vie'.—not on the
best horse that was ever loaled. To-night,
sir—I’ll start this minute, barefoot, if you
wislud it. I’ve got a decent suit of clothes
in pawn, sir, quite good enough for the likes
of rne; I’!l be faithful and truo, sir, and God
bless you, sir. and—and”-
Hero Bob broke down again, and even stiff
Mr. brie Dawbarn was compelled, Studden to use his used cam- his
handkerchief as Mr.
coat sleeve. Bob was furnished with letters;
among them was one front Mr. Dawbarn
addressed to Munro, which inclosed a note
from Lucy, which contained only these
words, written in a large, trembling hand:
“Come back to me—oh! come hack to me,
mv dear; and soon, if you would see again
upon this earth your own Lucy.
A few hours after Bob was seated on the
roof of the night coach, aud os it rattled
past the banker’s house he saw a light in
Lucy’s chamber. Although the night wa*
cold the window was thrown up, and a thin
hand waved a handkerchief.
CHAPTER V.
Two years elapsed and there was no news
of the missing Mr Munro. Letters arrived
frequently from different parts of America
from Mr Bob Studden, who evidently found
hw task to be more difficult than he had sup-
poteA America wae a large continent, and
M "a* net so e*uv he tad one particular mma
upon It. Poor L«cy amused hsreelf by rmd-
■SttF&Szzsizs
^n letter airived by an instinct for w hich
sho was at a loss to account herself; but for
ail these sources of consolation, for all her
mothers and father’s solicitude, she
8b0 grew
ahd took aodrbutia
an mv chair. Her father walked by her
side grave and dejected. Stealthy shad-
! K ^ i0!1 01 th0 house.
They flitted , on the windows, lingered on the
staircases and hung about tho passages; and
the good folks of Bramlingdon looked sad
they passed the banker’s, us
those it contained, there hung over which, as over
the sanctity of
a groat sorrow.
. Two long, long years and two long, long
months Lucy waited and hoped, each day
her pale cheek growing paler, aud her light
form lighter, and toward Christmas she was
unable to be lifted From her bed. Dr. Top-
ham saiil that ho had exhausted the resources
of his science; and when tho poor girl turned
feverishly, and, with a slight access of do-
linum, asked for the fiftieth time if there
were no no ws, the doctor beckoned the banker
and ius wife from tho sick room and said;
1 vo an idea! This cannot last long—sho
must lie quieted somehow. Sho keeps ask¬
ing for news; now news from America
would quiet her and she might sleep.”
“We iiave no news,” said tho single minded
banker.
No,” replied tho doctor, “but wo can
mako some.”
“Make some!”
“Fabricate it—invent it. Don’t you seer
“O doctor 1” remarked tho tearful mother,
"to deceive a poor creature on the threshold
of death I”
“To snatch her from death,” said Dr. Top-
ham. “It must be dona It is tho last
chance. We must write a letter from Stud¬
den this very night.”
“But-but—but—It is forgery F stammered
the banker.
“Besides,” said Mrs. Dawbarn, “Lucy
knows Mr. Studden's hand and always ex-
anknes the envelopes.”
‘Then,” said tho doctor, “we must do it by
telegraph ”
“Telegraph 1”
“Yes. In a few minutes you will receive
a telegram from Mr. Bob Studden, saying
that he has just arrived at Liverpool with—
with a companion."
“Who’ll send it?”
“I will,” said the doctor.
“But when—when sho find3 that Studden
Is not in England—what then?”
“We must think of something else,” said
the undaunted Topham. “The case is des¬
perate, and something desperate must be
tried. Go and talk to her, Mrs. Dawbarn,
and I’ll send the telegram. ”
With a strong feeling of conscious guilt
Mr. and Mrs. Dawbarn put into their daugh¬
ter’s hand atelegram containing these words;
“From Robert Studden, Adelphi Hotel, Liv¬
erpool, to Charles Dawbarn, Bramlingdon.
“I ha vo just arrived in Liverpool. I havo
news of Mr. M. I hopo to be iu Bramling¬
don by Thursday.”
Lucy read the telegram and sat up in her
bed?
“He’s eomo, mamma!” she said, anil her
eyes flashed and her cheeks • flushed. “Ho
landed in England this morning—I felt ho
did—about 9 o’clock. Ho will bo here soon,
George will—very soon—very soon. Mamma,
please tell Eliza to put out my liiac frock. Ho
liked lilac—and to come and do my hair—
and—and—and—tell Eliza to come to me—
and 1 can tell her what I want myself."
Tho father and mother exchanged glances
that said; “Hero is the consequence of our
deception. What can be done next?” The
thought had hardly been interchanged bo-
fore a smart rap was heard at the street door,
and a servant camo in with another tele¬
graphic dispatch, which ran thus;
“From R. Studden, Adelphi Hotel, Liver¬
pool, to C. Dawbarn, Bramlingdon.
“Just arrived hero with Mr. Munro. Shall
start by night train, leaving here at 1:30.
M. and self will be at Bramlingdon to-mor¬
row. Telegraph back "
“How absurd of Topham to send two tele¬
grams!” said Mr. Dawbarn, when ho and his
wife were alone, “as if ono would not bring
mischief enough. IIo must bo mad.”
Dr. Topham entered the house', and in¬
quired how his plan had succeeded.
“Oh, Lucy is very much delighted and agi¬
tated,” answered Lucy’s father. “What wo
shall do with her when sbo finds tho nows
not true, 1 do not know. But, Topham, why
tho deuce did you send two telegrams?”
“Two!” echoed Topham. “I onfysout ono.”
“Yes, you did.”
“No, I didn’t."
“Yes, you did. Hero it is.”
Tho doctor looked at tho second telegram,
and said, "I didn't send this."
“No! Who then?”
“By Jove! Ho did! Studden, I mean.
Dawbarn, he's come! ho’seome! 1 only an¬
ticipated tho truth. It was a medical inspi¬
ration—and my patient will recover.”
Mr. Dawbarn lost no timo in telegraphing
back to Liverpool. At Lucy’s express desire
Mr. Studden was instructed to telegraph at
every neJVer station, that sho might know ho-.v
much and nearer her George was to
her. The telegraph boys were up the wholo
night, and Lucy kept tho telegrams aud read
them uutihsbe fell fast asleep.
When she awoke she found horseif unable
to rise, so resolved to receive her future hus¬
band in state; and when sho had looked in
tho mirror sho bogged her mamma iu a
whisper to let her have some rouge—“not to
make rao look better, but for feat ni >' pale,
white, white cheeks should frighten George."
Tho heavy hours flow by. George arrived,
and was shown upstairs to his faithful, con¬
stant mistress; and tho servants iu tho
kitchen hold great jubilee, and there was
sweethearting below stairs as well as above.
Mr. Dawbarn found Mr. Bob Studden
quite an American—according to tho notion
of Americans imbibed by Englishmen a few
months resident in the Now \\ orkl. Ha
wore a “goatee” beard, square toed boots,
and loud trousers aud cravat. lie addressed
Mr Dawbaru as “colonel.” and assumed a
uiarner that savored equally of the half quarter bag
deck and the counter—half pirate,
matt.
“As 1 advertised you, colonel." he ex¬
plained, "in tho various letters from the
various diggings where 1 fixed my temporary
location when 1 set foot in New York, I
could find small trace of G Munro. But I fol- !
lowed up that trace, and dogged eternally
wherever he had made tracks. At last Host *

"It was quite by accident —it was. I

couldn’t find him in Detroit , and 1 was goin’
away by the cars on the following sun up.

Lucy was soon seen out again in thein valid
chair, but her father no longer walked by her
Side. He was replaced t.y Mr. Munro. who
usually profiled it himself. Within eighteen
mouths tbo young couple were married,
and some time after George was made a
partner in the bank. Mr Robert Studden,
by the assistance of his patron, emigrated to
Australia, where he drives * thriving busi-
aem in hones. Before he sailed he spent the

AN ID-AL CHRISTMAS.
Events of a Daj Which Made Mr. tte-rij-
i'.lcs Tiro,:.
It was Christmas day; anybody could tell
it; sleigh bells rang out more crisp and clear
than usual; the sun was brighter, the-air
was sharper, men stepi>ed.inore briskly along
tho streets, tho chimes sounded sweeter; the
sleigh bells tinkled more merrily,''mid if that
wasn’t enough to convince the most skepti¬
cal, ho could look at tho heading of the
morning new^-imer.
"Ha!” cri-.d Mr. Scrigglo* as ho limped,
out of bed; “beautiful day! beautiful; and,
indeed, Christmas; Mrs. Smuggles isn’t awake
yet either; Ml get ahead of hor this time.
Merry Christ--”
“Smuggles has the servant got that fire
started yet?”
“I don’t know, dear; I was just going
down to seo about it. Merry Christ-”
“Scriggles, I would liko to have $5 to give
to the church. Have you got nny money left
from last night?"
“Certainly, i kept $2o exclusively for
Christmas. I'll leave tho five on the dressing
case for you.”
He skipped gay!y down stairs just in time
to meet the new up stairs girl.
“Good mornin’, Misther Scriggles Merry
Christmas and Christmas gift.” '
“Certainly, Bridget, hero’s a couplo of dol¬
lars for you.”
Tbo cook was just emerging from the
kitchen when he arrived at tho door.
“Christmus gif’, Massa Scriggles.”
“Certainly, Arabella; here’s $2 tor you.”
Breakfast was eaten and Smuggles presented
his wife with a bonnet which sho said was
horrid, and she gave him a cano to add to his
collection, which numbered something over
a dozen.
Ho then took the street car down town.
“Mornin’, Massa Scriggles,” said his boot¬
black. “Chrismus gif.”
“Yes, Bam; here’s a dollar for you.”
“Christinas gift, Mr. Scriggles,” said the
eleyator boy.
“Yes, of course; here’s a dollar for you.”
“Christmas gift, Mr. Scriggles,” said his
office boy in a cheery, holiday tone, which
was good for $2.
“Ah, good day, rnadamo,” said ho to the
lady whom he found seated in his chair.
“Merry Christmas to you, I’m sure.”
"I am glad to see that you have the true
Christian spirit,” sho said. "I augurs favor¬
ably for my errand.”
“What can I do for you, ma’am?'
“I am working in tho cause of charity,”
she replied. “I am soliciting subscriptions
for tho new mission for tho natives of Pata¬
gonia. I hopo I may put you down for $10."
Mr. Scriggles said certainly, and handed
her tbo money.
Tho janitor and two scrub ladies also made
successful calls. He had to compromise with
the latter on 50 cents apiece.
At about 3 o'clock Mr. Scriggles concluded
to start for homo. As he reached tho side-
wUlk he felt in his vest pockets, then in his
trousers pocket. A slight look of annoyance
crossed his face.
“Merry Christmas,” said a cheery voice.
“Oh, how are you, Brown; yes, to be sure.
Do you happen to have a ear ticket iu your
pocket?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Any change?"
“No, not a red.”
When Scriggles reached home it was about
half past 0. He dragged himself wearily
through the door and hung himself on the
lounge.
“Did you havo a pleasant Christmas?"
asked his wife.
“Christmas be—blessed 1” was the only
reply as lie flopped over on his side, with his
face to the walk
