WRITTEN BY OBABLOTTB DUNNING. It tu neither prying curiosity nor aa eye fortilr.tr (oiks that drew him eo near the win' dow. He was a bomelne man indeed, bat not ??? vagabond. Bu.ir.ee, had brought him PQIowrille, and after eating tapper in the tavern he bad wandered about the droway atreataof the town, until, through the window ofalow-aet, modest dwelling, he oaught glimpteoia group around a table. At the table tat a pretty girl who waa evidently at fording excellent enter.ainment to an elderly woman, an old man and a gawk o( a boy. Although the gentleman without could not hear the words the spoke, he could well see her bright eyea and the amllea the brought to tho faces of thoee who listened to her with fond eagerness. She was telling a story, gesticulat ing in a graceful fashion, and turning her bead from aide to tide like a bird. The old man, who bad a flowing while beard, leaned toward her, putting hit open hand behind hia ear so that he should not loso a syllable ofher sprightly talk, and the gentleman outside etepppd cn the porch the better to see the girl's winsome face. Tho gawk of a boy began to grin, displaying largo teoth stranded on reel of red gums; the cd man lay back in hia chair in exquisite delight, and the elderly woman laughed so that har ample bosom shook. She waa very fat. and abo pressed her hand to her eldest though it aohed Irom two muoh mirth. Suddenly the rose, and before the S ntleman on the porch could beat a re' e heid opened the door. ???I thought 1 heard somebody hero," aho said with great good humor. "The belt la a little out of kilter, and it don't-ring first rate. Who did you want to ate I" The unbidden guest, who did not look suds' city, asked if Mr. Brown lived thero, and the woman answered that he did. ??????But do you mean Mr. Uughson Brown or Mr. Perry Brown/' aho added. "Neither, Mr. Henry Brown," ho answered ] n n. f'tly. The woman els wood her hands. "Why, he's -dtsA.'knt "scy: /Uiwiw w??w??es.-K* , .;-Xy' ' and ne'il be real glad to seoyou. Come in." .

Be expostulated, but finally .ufiared him. at 11 to ba led Into the cosy,lamp-lighted room, It waa plainly furnished, 'but tho red table- cover, the rocking chair, with ou.hiona on the crate, tho presence of a comfortable oat gars it ??? mast homelike aspect. The pretty girl look. Cd;.t the stranger curioualy, tie gawk of a boy atared and the old man put on a pair of spec tacles. "Pa," aaid the elderly woman, in a abrill voice, "here is a gentleman come to see poor brother Honry, not knowing ho was dead. The old man rose and held out a thin, large, veined hand. ???1 didn???t qnile cateh the color ollyour name, alrfha aaid, jocosely, "Gray,??? waa tho faltering response, given with a nelpleee smile. And then the old man chuckled i ???"Taint aa goed wearing a color ae Brown. Grays will fade. I waa in tba drygoods lino myself. Well, her# la Mrs. Brown and our aon Henry- named for his uncle???and onr neice, Mita Hat ??? tie Brown." The gentleman with the fading name bowed poltlaly in e.eh amt awejited fir. chair his hostess offered. She waa tba soul of hospital ity; aha Invited him to taka a cap of tea and soma bread and batter, and lamented that tha atewed peara and smoked beef wars all oaten up, diverging a little to dwell on her aon???a appetite, which mads him look abjectly miser able, and was prababiy tba reason why he slunk out of tha room. Tha guaet assured har ctfvely. "Out west, I guess. Leadvillo, likely. Bid you aver have anything to do with the Maria miner Mr. Gray'a lace brightened, then clouded over. "I did, Indeed," he anewered. E "And loet something. I'll bntaeeoky,"erlid Mr. Brown in glee. "Henry loet every cent he had, and it was the death ot him, too. He didn???t cwo yon any thing!" ha added, with an atxlcna pucker ot bis wrinkled taea. "On, not a penny???not a penny.??? ???And you hadn???t heard ha was daad," the old men continued "Ho's been dead???temme act???it must ba ntgh onto lour years.'' ???Four years next month," put in tha girl ???oltly.

Mr. Gray teemed at a loss f or words. Tha jcorggirl drew nearer to him and said: ??????I had not seen my father for a year bsfore ha died,and bodied away from borne. Tell znasomething about him'* A Ouch of shame flamed np in tbe gentle man's face aa he looked into her beseeching eyes. ???I don't know what to tell you," ha aaid remarked. "First ha inva&ted a patent tack- hammer, and then he was a book agent for a spell???You a book agent?" he asked, sudden ly turning to hia guest. - "I am a lawyer." "Ob, a lawyer." Mr. Brown atroked hia beard. "Well, Henry wa*n*t a lawyer, but ha was pretty much everything else. 'Twa'n???t no use, though. Be was the youngest and tho ???mtrtestofusall???there was six of us boys??? and he just went ahead, losing money the cheerfnlest of anybody I ever eaw. Boon as he J ot any he got rid ol it right off. He was a i-vsble fellow, bad a friend on every corner, but loo con fid ine. When he hadn't anything eice to do, he'd indorse; It gave him pleasure to go on paper. Then at one time he re'lly was quito rich"???here the old man rose in sudden wrath???"and he went and lent four thousand dollars to tho meanest scamp on the face o* the earth, and he didn't bother about security cither. Ho, it was all betwixt friends, though I say to him that Tom Hallow was "Who?" asked the ftranger sharply. "Thomas Hallow. Know him? I know him well." The old men sank back In hie chair. "Thou you know a darn scoundrel," he mutterod. His wife lookco at him reproachfully, which rousrd hi* Ire. "Yes, sir, a darn soouhdrel." he shouted. "He is rich, rolling in wealth, snd Hattie ain???t got a peony, and it was her tether who gave him a start,and if he had any gizzard he???d pay her the $4,000 her father loaned him???loaned him! Give him! He knows we???re all poor, but what does he care if some folks up here in Fillowvllle have to scrimp and save long as he has got all he wan's I Ho Is a darn scoundrel, and you can tell him 1 said so." He looked at his guest, whose eyes were ???hinirg bright. "1 will tell him," he said holly, "and I will tell him I agree with you." "Good for you I" cried Mr. Brown, all his wrath vanishing at once. "How, pa, you simmer down,"said his wife. She snd her niece joined in the conversa tion, which wandered ofTina pleasanter chan nel. It was not much that the girl said, bat her words were spoken with a frank smile and txtrayedher mother wit. Whop the guest took his leave she followed him to the door. "You must not mind what my ancle said," she whispered. "He it very bitter against ???. Hallow." ???1 don't wonder at it," he returned, and ho whispered toe. "It is a debt of honor. I would pay it if I died doing it." She looked up in his face with wistful admi ration. "If he wore only like you," she exclaimed. "Do you want the money eo muoh?" he aaked as one asks an engagingohildif she craves a particularly fascinating doll. She shot another quiet, upward glance at him.

Most of the rnombers wero In favor of sending a telogram to Sir John McDonald to tho effect that tbo French cotsrrvatives would bolt in a body from gov ernment support If Rtel was hanged. Ittraus- S ired in tbe course of discussion that Sir >ctor Langevin at the interview at Bt. Mar tin's junction yesterday had intimated that Mr. Cnaplean would giro them explat'oos on tbe subject today, and It was consequently datermlncd to odiouru the meeting uutil the secretary of stats had been heard. Mr. Chapleau met the memberj at the Windsor hotel and from ail that can be learn ed his explanations were to the effect that the cabinet ia unanimous in its decision and will ???tMd or fall by it. It Is learned on tbe best authority that tbo following joint telegram was indited by the meeting and forwarded tonight to Sir John McDonald at Ottawa: Under the present circumstances tbo exocutlou cf Louis Kiel would bo anactot croeltr, tbe re sponsibility of which wo moit energetically pro test against assuming. The telegram was signed by twenty old conservative members of the province ot Qae- b??c. A similar telegram will be sent tonight from Quebec, signed by member* of tbo Quebec northern districts. This means tb&t nine-tenths of all the members from this province will voto against Bir John McLonald at tho next parliament if Riel be banged. This vote would pat him out of power and compel tbe Immediate resig nation of the Quebec ministers.
