dinner.
II wonder what she's after now"
soliloquised the woman, as she sat
over her work. "She WAS quite taken
with the girl; could sec that; and l
should not wonder if she should do
something for her; but there's no
knowing how her mother may take
it,"
The day seemed long to Ida, who
was burning with impatience to relate
the adventure of the morning to her
friend Tom.
He, though far from sharing her
ecstacies OF admiration, was amused
and surprised at the recital; less so,
perhaps, at the emphatic exclama-
tions Of his youngcompanion.
"Oh, Tom, ii I could but sing like
that when | am a woman-andif they
would give me money for it would
have such a house! and mother and
you, Tom, would live there; and then
you should only work as much us you
like at bookm akins, and be able to

"Ah! daresay:' was the rejoinder,
more candid than civil: ''you'd Just
forget all about me, with all those fine
people and grand houses. l know how
+ it 'ud be then.''
Often in after years did the lad,
grown a man, recall to mind their
} childish talk of that evening"
We have left Nelly all this time in an
unpleasant position, standing midway
in the dark alley, which the burly
form Of the stranger almost blocked
up. The lamp which threw it's light
upon her features left his in total
shade; and though the terror of his
sudden address lett her still power to
discriminate, by his stature, that it
was not he whom, of all earthly crea-
} lures, she dreaded, that there was
that in the tones Of his voice which
vaguely recalled to her that horrible
nightmare OF her existence. He was
J not Meghorn, she knew; yet something
IN his address, in his aspect, in his
voice, seemed to assure her that Meg
horn was close at hand.
: Her heart stood still; she gasped for
breath; and by intense terror alone
was prevented from shrieking. The
, man FASTENED to speak.
"Easyn; he said, in a hoarse whis-
per; "don't go to raise ~ shindy about
, us. J. don't want to hurt We. Icould

, She uttered q faint scream.
"For mercy's sake!"
l But he checked her.

Slowly she had been tracking that
8 vague memory, which the presence o.
: the man awakened: yes, she recalled it
$ now; it was the voice OF one who had
t passed her as she lay hid with her
: child that night OF their flight.
