Hope at the last was taken Off his
guard, and took the prOffered hand
That to him was binding action, and
somehow he could no longer go back.
Then BARLEY told him he should live
in the house at first, to break the part
ing. "And from this hour" said he,
"yOu are no clerk nor manager, but my
associate i'm business, and on your own
terms"
THANK YOU" said Hope, with a sigh.
snow lose no time; get her into the
house at once while the clerks are away,
and meantime l must deal with the
nurse, and overcome the many difficult
ties. Stay, here is a five-pOund note.
Buy yourself a new suit, and give the
child good meal. But pray bring her
here i'm half an hour if you can"
Then BARLEY took him to the lobby,
and let him out in the street, whilst he
went into the house to buy the nurse,
and make her his cOnfidante.
He had good deal of difficulty with
her; she was shocked at the proposal,
and, being woman, it was the details
| that Mortified her. She cried good
deal She stipulated that her darling
should have Christian burial, and cried
again at the doubt. But as BARLEY con-
coded everything, and offered to settle
hundred pounds a year on her, so
| long as she lived in his house and kept
his secret, he prevailed at last, and
| found her an invaluable ally.
To dispose of this character for the
present we must inform the reader that

as fond of Grace Hope as she had been
of Mary BARLEY.

run away from me; but must protect

BARLEY is alive"
BARLEY bowed his head.
Colonel Clifford had not heard she was
ill, so he continued: "Inthat case"-and
then, interrupting himself for moment,
turned away to Bartley's private table,
and there emptfed his pockets of GER
tain documents, one of which he want
ed to select. He then turned and step
ped toward BARLEY with the document
he had selected at the table. BARLEY went
to meet him.
The.Colonel gave it to him and said it
was copy of the will.
BARLEY took it, and Colonel Clifford
expelled his last sentences.
"We have shaken hands. Let us for.
get our past quarrels, and respect tho
wishes of the dead"
With that he turned sharply on both
heels, and forced the door of the little

out in about seven steps, as he had
marched in, and never looked behind
him for two hundred miles.
The moment he was out of sight,
BARLEY, with his wifc's will i'm his hand
and ice at his heart, went to his child's
room. The nurse met him. crying, and
said, "a change"-mild but fatal words
that from nurses lips end hope.
He came to the bedside just in time
to see the breath lowering Oh his child's
lips, and then move them as the sum-
mer air stirs leaf Soon all was still,
and the rich mans child was clay.
The unhappy father burst into pas
sion of grief, short but violent. Then
he ordered the nurse to watch there,
and let no one enter the room; then he
staggered back to the office. and flung
himself down at his table and buried his
head. To do justice. he was all parental
grief at first, for his child was his idol.
The arms were stretched out across
the table; the head rested OH it; the man
was utterly crushed.
Whilst he was so, the little Office door
opened softly, and Il pale. worn, haggard
face looked in. 1t was the father of the
poor man $ child in mortal danger from
privatiOn and hereditary consumption.
That haggard face had come TO ask the
favor OF employment. and bread for his
girl, from the rich man whose child was

CHAPTER II.
TIE RICH MANS CHILD.

The world is very big, and contains
hundreds of millions who are strangers
to each other. Yet every now and then
this big world seems to turn small; SO
many people whose acquaintance we
make turn out to be acquaintance of
our acquaintance. This concatenation
of acquaintances is really one of the
marvels of social life, if one considers
the chances against it, owing to the size
and population of the country. AS an
example Of the phenomenon, which we
have all observed, William Hope was
born in Derbyshire, ina small parish
which belonged, nearly all of it, to Colo
mel Clifford; yet in that battle for food
which is, alas! the prosaic but true his
tory Of men and nations. he entered an
office in Yorkshire, and there made
friends with Colonel Clifford's son, Wal
ter, who was secretly dabbling in trade
and matrimony under the name of Boil
ton; and this same Hope was to come
back, and to apply for Il place to Mr..
BARLEY; Mr.. BARLEY was brOther-in-
law to that same Colonel Clifford, though
they were at daggers drawn, the pair.
Miss Clifford, aged thirty-twO, had
married BARLEY, aged thirty-seven.
Each had got fixed habits, and they soon
disagreed. In two years they parted,
with plenty of bitterness, but 10 scan
dial. BARLEY stood on his rights. and
kept their one child, little Mary. lie
was very fond of her, and as the moth
er saw her whenever she liked, his love
for his child rather tended to prOpitiate
Mrs. BARLEY, though nothing on earth
would have induced her tolive with him
again.
Little Mary was two months younger
than Grace Hope, and, like her, had blue
eyes and golden hair. But what diff
ference in her condition! She had two
nurses and every luxury. Dressed like
princess, and even when in bed smOtll-
cred in lace; some w0man's eye always
upon her, hand always ready to keep
her from the smallest accident.
Yet all this care could not keep out
sickness. The very day that Grace Hope
began to cough and alarm her father,
Mary BARLEY flushed and paled, and
showed some signs of feverishness.
The older nurse. q vigilant person,
told Mr. BARLEY directly; and the doc
tor was sent for post-haste. He felt her
pulse, and said there was some little
fever, but no cause for anxiety. Head
ministered syrup of peoples, and little
Mary passed a tranquil night.
Next day, abOutOn in the afternoon,
she became very restless, and was re-
peatedly sick. The doctor was sentfor,
and combated the symptoms; but did
not inquire closely into the cause. Sick
ness proceeds Immediately from the
stomach; so he soothed the stomach
with alkaline mucilages, and the sick
ness abated. But next day alarming
