Her mother was not alarmed at first,

XXI.

Linley had one instant left in lich he
might have drawn back into the library in
time to escape Sydney's notice. He was III
capable OF the effort of will. Grief and sus-
pense had deprived him of that elastic readi-
ness OF mind which springs ut once from
thought to action. For moment he hesitat-
ed. In that moment she looked up and saw
him.
With a faint cry OF alarm she let the cloak
drop from her hands. As helpless as he was,
as silent as he was, she stood rooted to the
spot.
He tried to control himself. Hardly know
ing what he said he made commonplace eX-
cuses AS If he had been a stranger. Il am
sorry to have startled you; | had no idea of
finding you In this room"
Sydney pointed to her cloak on the floor,
and to her hat on a chair near il. Under
standing the necessity which had brought
her into the room, he did his best to reconcile
her to the meeting that had followed.
Its a relief 10 me 10 have seen YOU" he
said, before you leave us"
A relief TO him to see her? Why? How?
What did that strange word mean, addressed
to her? She reused herself, and put the ques-
ton to him.
ITS surely better for me-" he answered,
ITO hear the miserable news from you than
from q servant"
"What miserable news?' she asked, still as
perpleXed as ever.
He could preserve his s%elf-contr0l no long
err; the misery In him forced its way outward
at him. The con yulsive struggles for breath
which burst from q man In tears shook hin
from head to foot.
my poor little darling" he gasped. my
only child!'
All that was embarrassing in her position
passed from Sydney's mind in an Instant.
She stepped close up TO him; she laid her
hand gently and fearlessly on his arm. 'Oh,
Mr.. Linley, what dreadful mistake Is this!'
His dim eyes rested Oh her with a plteous
expression of doubt. He heard her-and he
was afraid TO believe her. She was too deep
ly distressed, too full OF the truest pity for
him. to wait and think before she spoke.

P"hlladelphla Record.
Sixty-tive. years ago Hiram Lukens
entered the Intelligencer office at
Doyleston to learn printing, and he Is
there yet, setting type as fast as any
body around the place. His record Of
continuous service with one establish
ment is probably ~unequaled in the bust
ness. Several times the management
has changed hands, but he has never
left his case. Three sets of o boards
have worn away under his feet in that
long time, and 1870 pairs of thick soled
boots have been put on the retired list.
Fol over $500 working days his eyes
have been raine on the type, but still
his vision is unimpaired, and he handles
the smallest size with ease.
1t Is fair to estimate that he has set
and distributed an average of 5000 ems
OF type a day, or a total in slxty-five
years of 1876, 900, 900 ems. This is equal
to 2S,SSS columns of common type
enough for all the reading matter In the
Record for over a year and a half. Be
sides attending to ordinary duties he
has trained at least $50 apprentices, but
not one of the last could ever show so
clean a proof as he. Very few of them
approached him in point Of rapid COM
position.
