Ilailoo! what’s this!” He had very nearly stumbled over something that looked like a bundle, crouching at the foot of a flight of Steps in the shad )W ofa ruinous old brick arch way; but. as he checked himself abrupt ly, the bundle erected itself into .-some thing human in shape and looked at him with wild, human eyes. “Who are you ?” he demanded, on the impulse of the moment. “Only me. sir—little Tcss." “Please give me a penny, sir ?” cried the child, suddenly subsiding into the regular professional whine of her trade. “Only a penny." “VVhero do you live?" “I don’t live nowhere, sir—l just skulks round in the alleys.” “Oh, ytu do, eh ? and who takes care of you?" “Old Tim Daley used to, but lie’s took U P” “Took up ?" “Sent to tne Island, sir." “Are you a boy ? ora girl?" (For the ereatuae’s tangled locks and ragged garb crave no elue to its *'* v ) “I’m a girl, sir.” “You ought to be ashamed of your sslf, bogging in the street,’ said Mr. Terryn. severely. “Why don't you work ?” As he appioached his own door a bright child s face peeped out between the curtains, and as Mr. Terryn entered the cherry sitting room, he could not but think with a remorseless pang of the shivering bundle of rags under the brick archway beyond. “It's none of my business”, he thought, “I dare say the police will pick the poor little elf up, and take her where she 11 better off.” But Mr. Terryn’s conscience was less adamantine than he had given it credit for being. It pricked him sorely as he sat toasting h'i3 slippered feet before the the bright embers—it whispered to him as he listened to the lullaby wherewith his wife was lulling the babe to sleep upon hei breast. Hud little Toss ever known a motner’s eradle seng? And she could scarcely have been six years old. 'other. “Where are you going, my dear ?” questioned his wife, as he rose up sud and nly. “Out into the street. There was a child—a child there—a little girl, crouching on some steps —” “A child ? Homeless ? And such a night as this? Oh, Herbert, you shouid have brought her here ?” Five minutes afterwards Mr. Terryn was out in the driving whirlwinds of snow bending over the small stray who was bundled up just where he left her. “ Here—child—where are you?” But there was no. answer. Little Tess was benumbed and stupefied by the cold. lie lifted her up, a poor little skele " 1 rgnt'm his arms, and carried her home. Mrs. Terryn met him at the door. “ Oh, Herbert, what a poor little starved wretch! Her hands are like bird’s claws!” Charley looked on in breathless inter est at the process of feeding, warming and restoring some vitality to the torpid object. When little Tess opened her eyes, it was to the glow of a warm fire and the mellow sparkle of gas-lights. “ Am I dead ?” cried the child, ‘-and is this Heaven ?'* “ Poor little creature,” said Mrs. Ter ryn, bursting into tears. “ Tesora,” her name proved to be an Italian synonym f r the w< rd, “treasure, and a treasure she was. in gentle Mrs. Terryn s eyes especially after her little babe was dead and buried. * * * * * * “ How Tesora grows!” said Mr. fer ryn suddenly, on one day as the beauti ! ful girl game in. rosy and smiling, Ircm a walk “ Why, she is as tall as a grown woman!” “ She is a grown woman.” said Mrs. Terryn. with a smile. “ How old is she ! “Sixteen, day before yesterday.” “Is it possible?” said Mrs Terryn. thoughtfully. “ How time slips away ! Tesora now sixteen ! YV by, then, C bar ley must be twenty!” aSTumber 34. “It is true, my dear,” said Ills wife i “We are getting to be old people, now ? “I wonder what will become of Teso ra.” said Mr. Tcrryn. musingly. “She wou’d make a capital governess, her ed ucation hus been so thorough, or—” “Father,” said Charles Terryn, reso lutely, as he walked up in frout of his father and stood with folded arms. “I can tell you what will become of Tesora ? She is to be my wile?” “Charley.” said his mother, when the angry lather had jerked himself osft of th e room, “do’nt waste your breath in arguing with your father. Arguments never conquered yet, in such a case as thi3.” “But what am I to do ?” “Have you spoken to Tess, yet?” -,‘Xo” “Wait then—let matters rest, I will manage i>.” So Mrs. Tcrryn gave little dinner par ties and select soirees, and “brought out” Tesora] according to the regular programme. She made a sensation. Mrs Terryn had known that she would. Tesora was a belle—a queen of fashion. Suitors congregated around her. “W* H,” said Mr. Terryn one night— he was getting woudrously proud of his alnpted daughter’s success in the world of societ}* —“are you going out to-night, Tess ?” “Yes, papa.” “With whom V* “Colonel Randolph/* “I thought Charley had taken a box at the opera for you !” “I promised Colonel Randoloh first.” said Tesora, languidly playing with her tablet. » “And how about ko-tnorrow night? I suppose Charley could get his tickets trausfered.” “I am sorry, but I am engaged fo* to morrow night.” Mr. Terryn rose and walked restlessly up and down the room, lie Was a man much guided by the opinion of his fel low men. Tesora must be a treasure, else why this competition among the mil lionaires for her society ? “Look here, Tess —Charley will be so disappointed.” “1 c m’t help it. Let me see”—and she glanced at her tablets —“Friday is the only evening l have disengaged.” “Fiddlesticks!” muttered the old gen tleman, uneasily. “It seems to me you're getting to be a great belle, Miss!” “Am I, papa ?” said Tess, laughing. “But you see lam your own little girl still.” And she gave him a little coaxing kiss. “My own little girl—yes— but what will you become when Colonel Randolph or Day tou L’Lstrunge, or some other of these scamps takes you away from me?" Tesora blushed until the rose on her cheek was like a carnation. “They will not, papa.” “Won't they? I’m not altogether so sure of that.” But the next afternoon he came home from his office with a puzzled face. “They have come, T-ss.” “What have come ?” “The offers of marriage-—two of 'cm, by Jupiter!—Colonel Randolph and Mr. Duniper! What do you say ,Tcss V “I—l must think of it, papa.” “Very gentlemanly, I mustsay —both well off, substantial fellows, and profess to be desperately in love w ith my girl. But. Tess—” “Well sir.” “You won’t leave us, dear? Think how deolate the old house will be with out you!” Tesora was silent —her head dropped. “Father,” said Mrs. Tcrryn, gently, “let the girl decide for herself. We have no right to stand between her and a home and a husband of her own.” “But she might have a home and a husband of her own here !’ burst in Mr. Tcrryn. ‘‘That is-—1 mean-—Charley—’ “1 have refused Charley to-day 1” said Tesora, calmly. “Refused Charley! And why?” “Because I have reason to believe that his suit was pressed without the appro val of his father. 0, sir! could you think, that after all your kindness, I could steal your son’s duty from you ? I would rather die !’’ “Spoken like yourself, Tcss,” said Mrs. Terryn. going to her and kissing her. “Tess, do you love him?” eagerly 1 nothing to do witti tne question, sir,” she answered, reservedly. ‘ But 1 want to know,” he insisted. “i do love him, sir, then.” “And you have refused him only bo. cause 1 didn’t approve ? “*Yes, sir.” “But Ido approve, Tess! It would make me the happiest old father in tbo world, if I could call you both children, in real truth.’, Charles Terryn rose from his seat and came eagerly forward. “Tesora—dearest —you hear him! Once more I ask you to be my wife. And Tesora bid her face on his shoul der. weepiug— but Tesora was very hap py, nevertheless ! “But. my love,” said Mrs. Terryn, soft ly, “what has brought about such a change in your sentiments ?’, “I don’t know,” said the old gentle man, evasively. “Isay, less, wnat shsll I tell the Colonel and Mr. Duniper?” “Tell them, sir," spoke up Charley, that she has a p-evious engagement , And so the mother’s management pre vailed. and little Toss’s fir=t home was her last. Paddy’s description of a fiddle can net be beat : “It was the shape of a tur key, and the siae of a, goose, he turned | t over, and rubbed its belly with i a stick ; and ock ! St. Patrick ! how it ■ did squeal ?”
