pose to enter into any discussion of this
fruitful theme; 1 am simply recording
those facts which bear relation to my
strange story.
Often in my youthful days was
followed by my nurse and relatives in
the night, while l was walking in my
sleep, and carefully watched, in order
that I should not come to harm. N.Y..
wanderings were generally Of HARM
less kind, and sometimes afforded mer.
riment, as ON occasions when l made
my way to the larder and helped my.
self to the good things deposited there.
But there was one occasion when they.
took q more serious turn.
l slept on the second floor of SEMI
detached house. In the adjoining house
resided a mana widower when l first
became acquainted with him-with a
little daughter, between whom and my
self some innocent love making took
place. The father of this little girl,
whose name was Elsie, married again,
AMI the stepmother was not kind to
the child. Indeed, when the father
was absent from home Elsie was cru
ely treated by this woman, and l used
to hear her cries through the wall
which divided the two houses. Elsie
slept also on the second floor, In the
room adjoining mine, and when she
was beaten in the night l could hear
her appeals for mercy very clearly.
These sounds greatly distressed me.
and my child-mind was excised as the
means by which I could rescue my
little sweetheart from the torture to
which she was subjected. On one
occasion business took the father from
his home for two or three weeks, and
during this time Elsie's undeserved
punishment-I was sure It was unde-
served-was sharper and more fire.
quently administered. She showed me
the marks of the blows on her skin, and

l noticed then my daughters hair,
which indeed was beautifully dressed.
A charming, sweet-tempered girl,
eighteen years of age, Eunice from the
first had never wavered in her praises
of Mile. Rosalie. But for this and the
fondness of my wife for the so-called
governess, l doubt whether she would
have remained in my house for any
length Of time. Before she entered our
service I was given to understand that
she was French; and l became con-
WINGED, from evidence which she her
self supplied, that she was English.
Mademoiselle, therefore, being convert

she turned and fed.

CHAPTER II. -.

MY wife's words, "And just now we
must have no Clouds" were an allusion
to a joyful event which we were human
ly certain would take place during the
day. Within the last two years we had
struck up friendly acquaintance with
q gentleman of independent fortune
who lived few miles from Boscombe
Lodge, and on the morning of the fore
going conversation with my wife I re-
ceived the following note from him: ;
my Dear Mr.. Pardon-Unless re-
ceive telegram from you to the effect
that you will not be able to see me,
l shall do myself the pleasure of call
ing upon you at about 1 o'clock to dis.
cuss q matter of the deepest and ten
derest interest to both of us. With
very kind regards to Mrs. and Miss
Pardon and yourself, believe me, faith
fully yours,
HASTINGS CLANRONALD."
There was no mistaking the purport
of this letter. We had long suspected
that Mr. Clanronald's son Harry was
in love with our daughter, and it had
formed the subject of many serious
conversations between me and my
wife. Eunice's heart, we saw, was lost,
and Harry's father was now coming
to ask her hand for his son. A peculiar
Inconsistencies on the part of Eunice
convinced us that she had been in
formed by Harry of the impending in
terview. Loving she always was, but
there was clinging, pathetic tender
ness in the morning caress, the mean
ing of which, having read Mr.. Clan
ronald's letter, was clear to meas
though she was pleading to me to place
no bar to her happiness.
At the appointed hour Mr.. Clanronald
came, and we soon arrived at an under
cstanding that the projected union was
suitable in every respect; but it was at
my instigation, and not at the instiga-
ton of Mr.. Clanronald, that the bust
ness aspect Of the affair. was Bsstponed

Barking and Biting.

The once familiar practice of in
stalling BARKER" in front of store
to invite the patronage of passers-by
has all but died out. The "barker's'
occupations gone. He has been sup
planted by the newspaper advertise
ment, which addresses a thousand
people to every one upon whose ears
his solicitations fell, and commands
a more attentive hearing. There are
a few "barkers" left, to be sure, just
as there are few people who keep
their surplus money in an old sock
instead of letting it draw interest in
a bank. But where the barking Is
most in evidence there is generally
very little biting on the part of the
