The gate opened on a gravel walk which led up to a two story cottage house. In front of the house, and at tho sides, tho ground was overloaded with trees, shrubs, and flowering plants, which, to say the least of it, did not show careful attendance. Altogether it was a bright, cheerful and attractive place. So thought, no doubt, the stranger, whoso halt near tho gate had provoked Mr. Horton’s utterance. He was not ar. ill looking, man, or boy, for he could not ho twenty-one, but bis clothes were ragged and dirty, his shoes worn and muddy, and his general appoaranco un¬ kept and disreputable. He had stopped in the road and bad directed at the man, or at tho house, or at the grounds, sr at; 11 three, a wistful look, which might intimate a wish to enter. It was this look which Mr. .Hor¬ ton had answered, when lie addressed the young follow, aDd advised him to jog along. ‘I’m no tramp, sir," replied the stran¬ ger. not? Then looks belie •You are your your nature. You can’t deny that you have all the symptoms." •That is true, sir; I know that I am poor and ragged, but 1 don’t consider myself a tramp. I am looking for work.’ ‘That's what they ail say. They are all looking for work. To say that is to advertise the fact that you are a tramp.’ •I suppose I must bo a tramp then, but I wish I wasn’t.' •You do? That’s one good symptom, anyway. Are you sure you won’t run away from work, if you should And, it, or lie down and go to sleep by the side ; f it?’ ‘I am sure that lam willing to earn OER OWN SEC'I‘ION-«WE LAgg FUN I’I‘S ADVANCI‘SK‘dI-IEH‘.

Como in/ i He opened the gate and led tho way j to the house.

But | hadn’t you better eat some lunch before I you hungry begin look/ this business? You have a j ‘1 am not so hungry, sir, but that I am willing to cam a meal before I eat it. Will you have the kindness to sit j down?’ ‘Side face or front?' ‘Side face, if you please, I can do 1 that the best,’ Mr. Horton seated himself, presented his profile to the ragged artist who went to work without more ado. His strokes weie'qmek, vigorous and artistic, aud in a surprising short time a capital sketch of Mr. Horton’s head and shoul¬ ders appeared on tho paper. The gen¬ tleman looked at it and puckered his lips so as to produce a low and long drawn whistle. ‘I am not ready to pronounce you an angel, young fellow/ ho said, ‘but 1 may truly say that l have entertained a pretty fair artist unawares—though the entertainment is yet to come. Hero, Emily! Bella! Come out boro and wit¬ ness a new sensation !’ Airs. Horton hurried out on the piaz¬ za, with the young smter Bella, and her little girl, Lulu. For an answer, Mr. Horton handed his wife the crayon sketch, which was hastily scanned with starts of surprise and ejaculations of delight. ‘What a nico likeness?’ exclaimed Mrs, Horton. ‘Where did it come from?’ ■This younf person did it just now,’ answered Mr. Horton. ‘Goodness! Gracious me 1 I woudor if ho would make one for Lulu.’ ‘Of course he would, and of Bella and the whole tribe, if you want one. But he is tired and hungry, and you had better give him something to eat before you ask any more of him ’ *1 will gladly do that. I am sure that this kindness of yours is worth a dozen pictures.’ ‘Give him one anyhow, and wo will talk about the rest. It wont do to bo too liberal at the start. Please to fol¬ low my wife, young fellow, and I have no doubt that you will feel better when she gets through with you.’ When the young stranger was wash¬ ed and combed, and had been fed, his persoual appearance was improved, and he had gained in ease and grace of manner. He was anxious to make a picture of baby Lulu, aad was permit¬ ted to do so, producing a likeness which sent the fond mother into ecstacies. This production having been suffi eiently admired, Mr. Horton dismissed the ‘female rabble, - as he choose to call them, coraled his artistic tramp for a conversation, asking who he was and all about himself. His name was Abol Kentridge, and j he was the son of a miller at Queens port, Md-, who had died suddenly, leav- j ing worth an estate less than so encumbered nothiug. Abel as to be j j had gone to Philadelphia to seek bis fortune, ‘ and had found nothing hut disappoints | meat and poverty. He knew some- j thing about milling and gardening, hut' could find no employment in the city, j and went iuto the country to look for j work, out his tramp like appearance ! verge told against of despair him, when and ho ho encountered was on the j Mr. Horton. ‘There is no milling to do bore,’ said I that gentleman,‘hut I have no doubt J that my wife, sinco you made that sketch of Ln’u. will allow von to straigh¬ ten up these grounds. ’If you turn nut as well as 1 Hur.lt you tell, 1 may find something else for you to do ' >So it was settled that Abel Iventvidge wa to remain at .Mr. Horton's. A room was prepared for him, ami some of hi, partly worn garments were fitted to him, and he was sec to work on shrubs and dower ap*j grass plats His work was quite satisfactory, and ho acquitted hitnaelf gene*iliv so as to gam tho confidence and respect of all the house. Besides the work on the grounds other odds and ends of employ¬ ment were found for him about the place, but nothing was said to him about his compensation,tj Thus was ho kept busy for a week, at tho end of which tiijao Mr. Horton gave him a written order, and directed him to go to tho village *md select for himself suitable clothing to tho amount named in the order ‘Hut I have cot earned so much as this,’ no suggested. wj| ‘if you haven’t you earn it,’ ro plied .Mr. Horton. When Abel returned ffora the village he carried his head somewhat higher than when bo set out, and appeared to be, vrhat nature and Jfemieatioti had made him—a young gaptlemau of at tractive person and manners. He was ushered into the room in which the family wore seated, and Mr Horton coraled him for what ho called a business talk. What do you know about milling!’ ho asked. ‘1 was never regularly employed by my father,’ answered Abo!,- but I pick¬ ed up many points of, the business while I was about his .place— shori !y before he died, I invented, or be lived I had invented, an improvement on the turbine water wheel, by which greater speed could be got with the use of loss water, and my father said it was a good thing. After agebjjjpfer his death l gave my model to a patent ijje, pur¬ pose of applying for a patent; but the agent finally told me: that ho had been unable to procure a patent, because the examiners decided there was noth¬ ing new in tho invention. That dis¬ cern ragM me more than any of tho rest of my disappointments.’ ‘Wnat was the agents name ?’ ‘Silas Northwick.' ‘And your name is Abol Kentridge?’ ‘Yes, sir.’ •That agent lied to you, Abel,’ said Mr. Horton. He procured the patent, which is very valuable, aud meant to swindle you out of it. llo would prob¬ ably have succeeded if you had not come to my house.’ ‘How do you kDowthis?’ oagerly asked Abel. ‘I am a sort of a speculator and occa¬ sionally dabble in such affairs. North wick offored the patent for sale to mo before I porcoived that it was in the name of Abel Kentridgo. He assured me he could procure all tho assignments from the patentee, who desired to sell, and I told him if ha could do so I would negotiate with him. Ho is to meet me to-morrow and bring the assignment aud of course you eau’t have signed your name in Philadelphia while you are at my house.’ ‘I should think not,’ indignantly ex¬ claimed Abel ‘Therefore, Northwick s assignment will bo a forgery, and l shall briug him hero and confront him with you.’ Mr. Horton was as good as his word, mot the rascally agent at the time and plaeo appointed. Northwick did not have the assignment, although he pro¬ fessed the ability to produce it as soon as the negotiation should bo concluded, aud Mr. Horton had brought him to tho houso for tho purpose of winding up the transaction. There he was confron¬ ted to his astonishment and dismay, by Abel Kentridgo, arm it was made evi¬ dent to him that his swindling scheme was discovered Tho upshot of the interview was that Abel get possession of his precious pat¬ ent, and Northwick was glad to go clear of criminal proceedings. Mr. Horton, if ‘Now, my boy,’ said you will take me as yourpartuer in this business, I will furnish tho needed cap ital to push it, aud 1 have no doubt that both of us will grind out a grist of money with your turbine wheel/ Abel gladly accepted this arrange meut, aud t he result soon became so satisfactory to both parties that Mr. Hortou heartily congratulated himself upon tho fact that his supposed tramp had mg taken his advice to ‘jog along/ It should bo added that his pretty Bistor-in law, Bella Grattan, also found in the same fact cause of sell-congratu latiou. - Job work done at this oflieu in good style and at short notice. g 3%); mm XT ^13 triq I w FISTED 6L8S mM !S?5X ES|2ag 3 iw DON 9 T ■or.ho rTi—rloieiit ?on yourIvAiidirsmivlUiuntried a.ul uarek.-.bio articles at your expense, WON’T PAY for wat er un 1 benzine $1.1)0 to .? 2100 per gallon.
