1t is Richard Foster, the earl banker at
Whitehaven, who has taken away with
him G10 900. We found out to-day that
ne has sailed for Australia He has, IN
fortunately. our name, but he is neither
kin, nor friend, nor even acquaintance
On, Robert, you have given me this hour
the greatest Joy of my life! You have
spoken such power that your mothers
heart and mine burns with iudiguatiOns
and see, my boy, in both our eyes are
the tears Of love and sympathy. -
And like an irresistible torrent Rob-
ert s words came ever afterwards at his
cali, so that at this very day anywhere,
or everywhere, when Robert Foster is to
speak there is great sea Of human faces
lifted to him. He is almost an old man
now, and he writes Q. c. after his name;
but long ago he married Derwent's
youngest sister, and he has many sons
and daughters, whom he dearly loves.
One by one they have had to leave his
side and go into the world TO fight their
avn battle, but to each he says just the
words which his own father said to him,
words which have been his watchword
all his life, his strength in every weak
moment, and the foundation of all his
fortune and SUGGEST
"When the hour for duty strikes, new
er mind how coWardly your body may
be, order your soul to the front and stand
there, or, ii need be, fight there.

while their young lieutenant thrust

sufTOcated gTOan seemed to issue from his
lips; he shouted to Jim to fire and so at
tract their attention, but there was no
response, and then, in his agony, he
started up, wide awake in an instant,
and hurting off his blankets, seized his
rife and sprang to his feet.
Broad daylight; sunbeams dancing
through the trees, and there, doubled up
ct the back of the parapet, lay that
scOundrel Jim-asleep on guard. One
vehement kick and curse he gave him,
then peered over the barrier down the
rocky hillside. God of heaven! what a
sight met his eyes. The Apaches were
almost on them.

was always fighting for his own side,
would develop in Robert that aggressive
selfishness which English boys Justify by
their national motto, mon dieu ct mon
droit; and that the habit of defamation
would cure that dumb fimidity, which
was so unjust to his real requirements.
And so one autumn morning Robert
Foster kissed his pretty mother and little
sisters "good bye,' and went with sad
and sinking heart into the small but
cruel world of boys boarding school.
H's father took him to Ravenswood,
driving him there in the gig, because
there were then no railways thought Of
in that part of the country, and the mail
coach did not pursue the proper road ex-
cepting for a very short distance. Both
were little sad for they tenderly loved
each other; and the thirty miles of lonely
mountainous country between home and
Ravenswood seemed to Robert thirty
miles full of heartache and hopeIessness.
In the gray twilight they came in sight
Of the school building, standing gauntly
out among a few old yew trees and the
heather and boulders of the fell side.
The boy looked into his fathers face,
with eyes full OF tears, and the father
answered the look with one of loving
sympathy, checking the horses pace
with it. and saying very slowly and
gently:
''Robert, you are big enough and
sensible enough to bear the truth. 1
will not tell you that school is a happy
place, and that you will soon be quite
content there. 1 think myself that a
school is as hard a bit of life-road as you
will ever have to get over, and that
school boys generally are as cruel as red
Indians to each other. 1 fear you will
have a great deal to endure. Be strong,
my boy. When the hour for duty
strikes, never mind how cowardly your
body may be, order your soul to the

ROBERT, WHAT HAS BROUGHT YOU HOME?

me that he had run away with the earl 8

the master was going to fog me. l have

earl's money and run away. How could
l bear it; 1 who knew my fathers true
heart; 1, who could swear that my
tather's hands were as clean as mine
are?' and he threw upward his glowing
face and spread out his young hands,
palms upward, as if to ask heaven to wit
ness them.
Neither mother or son had noticed that
while Robert was speaking his father had
entered the room. He stood behind
them, listening to the boys words, and
he comprehended at once the meaning
Of his presence and his passion. With
pale face shining with emotion, he now
stepped forward, and, taking his son g
hands, he laid them in his own.
''Robert - he said, ''mine are as
clean as yours. They have never touched
q dishonest penny. Who has dared to
say different?''
and the boys-all but Derwent. They
called you a thief-a runaway thief
They said l was fool to deny it! Oh,
fatherI Oh, mother! If 1 could tell
you all have suffered!
stSpeak out Robert-ten Us every
thing
Then Roberts heart flowed over his
lips. All the injustice and wrong he had
borne found words-all the loneliness
and cruelty, the cold, the brutal pun
ishments, the insufficient food and light,
the hourly misery he had endured, was
painted like magic picture before his
parents eyes. He stood between them,
his face, his hands, his whole body Civ
ing an irresistible rhymth and expression
to his sad or angry complaining, and in
that hour Robert, as well as his father
and mother, knew that he had the gift
of mighty eloquence.
"You need not go back to RaEenswood,
Robert, to learn how to speak. Sorrow
has touched your lips as with fire and
love has opened them. How did It hap
pen?''
''Do you remember last spring father,
when we stood at the top of Skelwith
Force, and saw the eaters heave and
groan under the ice, and then with
great crash break it to pieces, and go
leaping down the rocks in 2 living sheet?
That was how 1 felt. they called you,
my father, thief, end 1 thought for
moment my brain and heart would burst
Then the schoolroom clock struck, and 1
remembered your words and 1 said to my
soul: this is the hour OF duty, go to
the front and fight there, and forgot
all about speaking, and the words came
just like the waters went over Skelwith
Force.
They went over in q good cause,
Robert. Yon win never defend a man
more innocent ii this matter than am.
