CHAPTER XIV.

When the two men gained the open air
no cab was in sight
IF you will rest awhile here" said Han
bury, "I'n fetch a cab. l cannot see one
up or down the street"
No" said Leigh, a shudder passing
through his frame. Let us walk. if you
do not mind. l could not bear to stay
near this place any longer. Is it not
strange that you should have wanted a
cab in this spot forty-eight hours ago,
and I should want it here now?"
az is strange" said Hanbury, but the
world is very small, and our absolute
wants in it are very closely circumscrib-
ed" The manner of Leigh had changed
in a marked manner. His steps had be
come slow and more dragged, his breath
ing more labored, and he had lost all
swagger and bounce, and self-assertive-
ness.

She was dressed so showily that
everybody's attention was arrested by
her the moment she entered the car.
She was very thin, very pale, and
her Voice was weak and high pitched.
She sank into seat with sigh and
a murmur of discomfort, and at once
took from her sachel lemon and
began eatinE it. BY this time it was
discovered that she was young girl.
She ate the lemon. and announced to
her companion that it was the third
she had eaten that day. Her COM
pleyion suggested paste, she WAS so
nervous as to arouse sympathy, so
irritable as to p oduce a feeling of
pity for anyone who had to live with
her. A few years will find her
physical wreck. She quoted from
mamma" so loudly as to make one
familiar with that unwise persons
views on every subject, and at the
end of two hours one knew the con-
dition Of her wa rdrobe. The journey
began early in the morning, and for
the lover of lemons ended about four
In the afternoon, and she never
stopped talking for longer than five
minutes, and she ate lemons in that
interval Temper, voice, manners,
appetite, all were left unframed by
unwisely indulgent parents. One
shuddered when one thought Of the
kind OF woman that must result
from such a method, or lack OF
method, of rearing. Shame ON the
mothers who allow their children to
develop so unnaturally. The end OF
each child's training should not only
be the developing of that child, but
should look forward to the educating
of the fathers and mothers OF the
next generation. The benefit con-
ferred on po~terity is not confined to
tree planting.

Model of an English speech.

NCGet or an f1ngiiSn speech.
In rising in reply to the noble lord,
he hoped that the noble lord would do
Justice to the sentiments of respect
which he cherished for the noble lord.
He also begged that the noble lord
would, in that spirit of liberality which
distinguished the noble lord, under
stand that he was prompted by no de-
sire to think differently from the noble
lord.
He believed that the noble lord and
himself had always hitherto agreed on
all matters which concerned the COM
monweal; and if the noble lord would
be pleased to remember, he had stood
side by side in many a. well-fought bat
tie for ancient privilege with the noble
lord.
AS TO the present subject, he woSld
inform the noble lord that if there was
a diversity of opinion betwixt himself,
he meant to say betwixt the noble
lord and himself, and there undoubt-
edly was a diversity (hear. hear. that
difference was no more than the differ
ence betwixt tweedledum and tweedle-
dee. (Cheers)
But he would assure the noble lord
that If the noble lord would search the
records to. satisfy any doubt which
might remain in the mind of the noble
lord, the noble lord would find that
tie facts which he should present
ought to have some weight on the
mind of the noble lord.
A few of these had already been
presented by the committee for the
consideration of the noble lord, and he
would ask the noble lord to go with
HIM while he should make other state
ments to the noble lord, If he might
presume to claim, for a few moments
the attention of the noble lord.
