The summer and the autumn passed
but no sign or letter came from Ralph
The people in the town ceased, after the

He was gone and forgotten. yet there
were two or three Of us who spoke and

the spring as present for him when he

woman, Sailor Nan who kept his memory
green lastly. there were my grand
mother and myself We knew not. how

him, nor could we guess what he was do

Twice in the year. namely at Christmas
or the New Year. and at midsummer, /
had letters from my parents, to which ]
duly replied It was In May when Ralph
ran away. so that they had three letters
from me that year When my Christmas
letters arrived there was mention Of our
boy. but so strange a tale that we could
not understand what to believe or what
the thing might mean.
The letter told us that Ralph reached
London safely In four or FIVE weeks after
leaving us. having walked all the way,
save for such trihing lifts and helps as
might be had for nothing on the road; he
found out my fathers shop; he gave him
the letter; be slept in the house. and was

he was taken by my father to the East

and left there by him, to talk with gen.

their service: that. the conversation fin
ished. being dismissed by the gentleman
with whom he had taken counsel, Ralph
left the office. Then he disappeared, and
was seen no more. Nor to the inquiries
made was there any answer given or any
news Of him ascertained. $50 wicked is

a citizen and glover. a member Of the
Honorable Company of Glovers, his ambi-
ton being always to be elected. before
becoming lord mayor. master Of his COM
pany These ambitions are laudable in
city merchant. yet. alas. they are not
always attained. and in my unhappy
fathers case they were very far from
being reached as you shall presently hear.
There is. am told. some quality in the
London air which causeth the city. In
spite of much that is foolish as regards
cleanliness. to be q healthy place, and
favorable to children So that, for my
own part. though was brought up In the
very center and heart of the city. with no

brothers and sisters was afflicted with

youngest. and a girl ! recovered so far

time their chief and even their only hope
was to send me into the country. there

sun. and fed on oatmeal porridge. good
milk. fat bacon and new laid eggs.
Then my father bethought him of his
own mother who lived far away indeed
from London. namely at Warkworth. in
Northumberland And he proposed to my
mother that they should take this long
journey. carrying me with them. and leave
me for awhile in charge of my grand

actions were, | cannot but think that the
conduct Of Mathew in bringing the chief
culprit-he knew nothing of my share or
of the fuglemans-befo his worship.
Mr.. Justice Carnaby. was actuated more
by malice than by an honest desire to
bring criminals to punishment Besides.
he had for some months before this been
spreading abroad wicked rumors about
Ralph. saying among other false and
malicious things that the boy was idle.
gluttonous. lying, and even thieving. in
somuch that the vicar. who knew the con
trary, and that the boy was as good lad
as ever walked. though fond of merriment
and little headstrong openly rebuked
him for malice and evil thinking. saying
plainly that these things were not SO. and
that, II they were so, Mathew was much
to blame in blabb.ng them about the
country. rather than trying to correct the
lads faults, and doing his best to hide
them from the general knowledge Yet
there are some who always believe what
is spoken to ones dispraise, and sour looks
and unfriendly faces were bestowed upon
the boy, while my grandmother was
warned not to allow me to run wild with
lad of 50 notorious bad character. This
is all that | meant when said just now
