"Has he?" said Ned roughly, and flung Into the garden, where he paced gloom ily up and down. Hepzibab came to him a few minutavs later with an apologetic and tender man ner, and told him that tea waa ready. "Never mind the tea, dear," Ned an swered. He had not given ber a word of affection for months, and the phrase half frightened her, she could guess so little what it meant. He walked about the garden for an hour, and at last entering the kitchen tood there irresolutely for a while, and then, aa if with a sudden impulse, made for the hall and seized bis hat Hepzi bah ran after him. -Don't be afraid," he said, turning round upon her. "1 am going to put an nd to this." "No. no. Ned" she besought him, cliniiiE to him. "Don't be afraid," he said again. "I shall be back when I've found Shadrach and seen him home. I'm going to have a word with him. Let me go.' He was very grave and solemn, and there was a look on his face which she bad never seen before. She released him, and atood in the doorway looking fter him as he walked toward the Min ers' Uest. He disappeared in the gath ering dusk, and Uepzibah went within, wondering and fearing. There was a side room at the Miners' Rest which gave upon a by-street, and this chamber was frequented by the rougher sort. Ned walked into it, fling ing the door aside and gazing about him. Shadrach waa there, with the shining bat brushed the wrong way in half a core of places, and tipped over one eye. He was clinging to the counter with one hand, and gently and rhythmically wav ing the other, whilst he smiling spouted some specially prized verses of his which no man listened to. I Ned laid a hand upon his shoulder. "Shadrach, come with me." "That you, Ned?" aaid Shadrach. "To" pitched into me once because I'd niver tood a drink after yo' saved my life. This is Mr. Blane, lads, the gentleman as saved uiy life In tu Old Blazer. Old Biazer's Hero, this is. He's the best gentleman i' the wide world, let the next come from wheer he wool." Blane took the glass from Sliadracb's hand and poured its couteiits ou the floor. "Come with me," he said. "You don't seem to kii'?w wbo yon'vi hud br much as is good for you. You'll drink again when you see me drink again, and that, my lad, shall be never. And mark me, Shadrach, if you drink before I do, I'll break every bone in your body." And the two men kept this strangely made agreement Never again was eith er of them under the influence of liquor. CHAPTER XXI. There was a horrible, frowsy portion of the town into which people of the respectable classes rarely ventured. Prob ably the doctor and the rent collector were the only men who with any ap proach to frequency carried a decent coat Into that squalid quarter. The spot, was vile enough to scare away anybody un toughened by custom for the endurance of its horrors. Festering pools of weedy water lay at the very doors of the ram shackle, aged-blackened houses. The buildings themselves had sunk bodily Into the slime of their foundations, until the ground without waa a foot higher than the floor within, and in sinking they had canted helplessly over to be propped up on either side by slanting beam of timber. The supporting baulks were rotten with age and moisture, and light be carved with the thumb nail. Vile as the place was. It waa highly prised by Mr. Horatio Lowther and by Mr. John Howarth. who between them owned the whole abominable plot of land nd all the tumble-down bricks and mor tar on It Both were keen hands at a bargain, and both were dearly fond of good investment Holly Row bad prov ed a noble investment for each of them. The wretched tenements were let out In rooms, and brought in a far higher rent than wholesome houses of the same class. let in the ordinary fashion, would have dona. There waa a Board of Commis sioners in the town, whose obvious duty it was to see that this rookery was clear ad: but it waa not held fair or neighbor ly for the board to go poking Its nose too closely into peoples private busi ness. Mr. Lowther was not only a pit vate cithten of repute, but personage renowned in religious circles, and so good n man was safely to be left to hia own way of business; Howarth was known to be warm, and was naturally respected on that account. Nobody knew much beat the board, except that It was elect a at stated intervals and without excite aefct of any kind, and Mr. Lowther, who wan active in good works, waa a W of it year in and year out j Haw (t befell whilst Will Hackett was mtt an bis deserted wife was patieat hr inncnhM her Infant scholars and oars- HVmi heart Weak, that clerk ef gJa UewarsVa whs had baea wont, in sMsstaam ef hia molar wesuy af awttaa, to esflset his empieyars fell UL and far a while the task fell ansa the ha (Mar's ehoaMers. It chanced farther-that one of How arta's tenaata, whs of coarse could oev ar hare dwelt to Heily Bow at ail aa im hast haan In a state of bjact sev a duaaasd at the ntoatiM f tb He had been a'ack in payment always, being of a feeble and Hickly coni-tinitiou. and now the payment Mopped altogeth er. Howarth was not the man to stand ihuj r uf nmien( and havine never been slothful in business, went in person to superintend the non-paying tenant's eviction. The non-psying tenant lay en a dirty mattress on the Boor, and though the day was sweltering hot, and hotter in that damp and breathless shelter than in most places, he was shivering under a row and ragged blanket. Mr. Howarth dis gustedly remarked within himself that there was no stick of furniture aoont tue place which coold have realized a six pence. He fingered bis seals and stroked his chin between hi thumb and forefin ger, and looked extremely large and im portant. "About that there rent. Millard? Eh? Come now. Abont that there reut?" "1 ain't got as mtvh as a single pen nv," said the defaulting tenant. '"Oh' said Howarth. "That bein1 the case, you'll have to get out o' tbia." "Why." returned the defaulting cred itor, shivering, and staring at bim with uninterested eyes, "I can't move a foot, nor yet hardly a finger." "You'll lave to move foot and finger,' said the landlord, magisterially. "Out you go." He had no Idea he was brutal. It nev er entered into his mind to ask himself whether he were acting well In the mat ter or not. The room In which the de faulting tenant lay was John HowartU'a property. If the tenant could not find the weekly rent he bad no right to stay there. Nothing could be more obvious, aud the advancement of any considera tion outside the plain facts of the case would have looked like an absurdity. "I ought to ha' gone to the workus, said the shivering creature on the floor; "but the new one ain't finished building vet. an' the old uus full. "Well." returned Howartn. mat a no affair o" mine. Out yon go. "Wheer?" asked the tenant. How arth looked at him in a little gen uine surprise. "Why. what affair is that o' mine?" The man rolled over as if the discus sion bored him, aa perhaps it did, and drew the tattered blanket a little higher. Howarth stooped aud pulled it off him not violently, but businesslike, as if there had been nothing at aH there but the blanket. ' "Come along "Mister." said the tenant, shivering rather more violently than before,"! can't set one foot afore another. The landlord rolled up the blanket in to an untidy bundle and threw it down stairs. "Come along:" he said again. He was not violent or harsh in man ner, but simply and purely businesslike. He was looking after his own interests, ... . , .... t.-u - oliu itirtl i Utu iut.i sti, luai , an undoubted right to do. He got his arms around the man, and being him self stiffly built and sturdy, lifted the skeleton frame easily enough to its feet Then he helped hitn, neither kindly nor unkindly, but as if be were deporting a crate or an armchair, out of the room and down the stairs and set him outside the house, where he sat on the ground with his back against the wall, shivering in the hot sunlight. "Now," said Howarth, mopping at his forehead, "I'll speak w word to the re lieving officer as I chance to be pnwtin' this afternoon. I've got two applications for that room, and one on 'em '11 be in this afternoon." 'Gi' me my blanket; I've got the shiv ers deadly." Howarth gave the man his blanket and marched in the next house. A dozen slat ternly women stood with hands under their aprons, or tying np wisps of dis ordered hair, while they looked on at such Dart of this scene as was enacted in the open air, but no one of them aaid anything, or seemed to think anything, and Howarth himself, having with bis own hands secured his own rights, went from house to house, and chamber to chamber, looking bigger and more magis terial than common. It reached bis ears eaeumly, a day or two later, that there were two or three cases of typhoid In iioiiy now, and one of two in the workhouse InBrmary, and he was aware, without associating the facta together, that be himself waa reel log TSry atrange and queer.

He took the news to Mary, who re ceived it aa if It had been a punishment for her own hardness to her parents. She hnrdlr knew of whst to accuse herself, and yet an Inward voice of accusation seemed to speak. She might hat been mora yielding, mora submissive, less bit ter in her thoughts. And now her father nd mother were dangerously ill, and might be dying, and though, had they lived in health, the feud could hardly hava known any healing, nature spoke out and would have way.

She bought Mr. Ijowttiers snsre oi Holly How. and pulled the old place down, and took advice about draining ui land and building decent cottagea tbere. Winter waa coming by thla time, and the ucniher was unseasonable for the sort of ooerations which were contemplated but she walked one evening witn a con tractor who had in early days been In partnership with her father to look at the place, and to hear his proposals. His business carried hira farther, and when he hnd his talk out he beds her good by and left her.
