When he had posted this epistle, ho
made, In a listless manner, to cross
the road toward Upper Street, Isling
ton. Ho had not yet acquired that
quickness of eyo and step necessary
for the preservation of life and limb
!'n the Hondon roads. An omnibus
had just stopped to put down a pass
enger; abreast of ft, nearer the kerb,
stood one of Plckford's vans; conse
quently, a person passing in front of
incso ousiruouons couiu not; ue seen
by any ouo driving rapidly from be
hind them until the person was al
most in the centra of the road. To
cross in front of this omnibuB and
wagon at a leisurely pace, without
looking onoo to tbo right or left, was
precisely what Charley did.
At that moment, a basket carriage, CHAPTER XI.
containing an elderly gentleman, and charlky receives some very
n young iouy, was driving swiftly
And Mrs. Wllkins, although kind
ly, looked to bo a positive woman ; so
Charley was compelled perforce to be
silent.
A very gentlemanly young man,"
muttered Mr. Loweon to himself aa he
decended the stairs. "No friends in
Loudon, eh? and looked distressed
when I asked the question. Clothes
not particularly good. I fear the poor
fellow is in distress: a worried look
about the eyes. I moat And out as
Boon as I can do it delicately."
"Well, papa, is it serious?" cried
his daughter,-running to him with an
anxious face.
"Not at all, Blanche, dear;afow
day's careful nursing will set him up
on his feet again."
"Thank Heaven!" Bhe cried fer
vently. "If bo had died, I should
havo always felt that we had killed
him.1'
It is n lesson against fast driving
that I shall not quickly forget," re
plied her father.
down the Essex JRoad, towards the
"Angel." As tho youth passed the
omnibus, tiic gentleman's horeo came
right upon himand before the driver
could pull up, knocked him down.
By an effort ho succeeded in check
ing the horse, and thus prevented the
wheels passing over tho prostrate
body. A bj'9tander was at the horse's
head In a moment. Tho youug lady
go-von shriek,, while hor fathor for
such was the relationship between
heraelf and tho elderly gentleman
jumped out, and with trembling
hauda dragged tho unfortunate youth
from his perilous position.
JJIood was flowing profusely from a
cut In tho head, and he was quite
sonselesa. In an instant a orowd had
gathered round ; a cabman coming
down tho road proposed to take him
to the hospital.
"No, no!" said the gentleman,
with a slight foreign accent, "he
eball not go to those places. I will
undertake the charge of him myself.
It was I who caused tho accident; I
will take upon myEelf the consequen
ces. Hero, cabman ; help me to place
him In your cab ; I have not room in
my little carriage."
So Charley, still insensible, was
carefully laid in the cab. Then the
gentleman mounted his seat, and tell
ing the cabman to followdrovequlck
ly away from the scene- of tho acci
dent. It happened, fortunately, that his
residence was close at hand. He liv
ed in a quiet old fashioned house,
lying back in a reces3, and shaded by
lime trees, in the quiet neighborhood
of Hermes Hill. Arrived there, the
poor boy was lifted out of the cab by
the driver and the gentleman, whose
name was .Mx. iewlson, and carried
up to a bed-chamber upon the first
iloer.
In the meantime the young lady,
who was about Charley'B own age,
was in a terrible state of mind.
"You are Eure be is not dead papa?"
he cried repeatedly. "Oh, I fear he
fs! See how pale he is! -Oh, what a
terrible thing it would be if he were
to die, and to think that we had kill
ed him!"
"Calm yourself, my darling," an
swered her father soothingly. "He
is not dead, neither do I think his in
juries very serious; but as soon as I
have examined him, I hope to be able
to set your feare at rest."
Assisted by his servant, an elderly
woman, Mr, Lewson undressed his
patient, .and proceeded to examine in
to the nature of his injuries.
As ho had conjectured, although
severo, they wore not dangerous.
There was a contusion on the head,
4nd a fracturod rib. Althongh not n
eurgeon by profession, ho well undor
Htood tho practice of chirurgcry. The
wound was dreased, the usual treat
ment applied to tho fracture, and then
the patient began to revive.
He opened his eyos, stared vacantly
about him, put his hand to his head
and tried to riso. But Mr. Lewson
gontly stayed him, saying, "Now you
aauat not move. You havo mot with
Jiti aocldent, but if you koop quiet,
you will be all right again in a very
few day b."
"But where am I?"askod Charley,
with a bewildered look.
"You aro In safe hands, I can aa-
TOXISIIIXQ NEWS.
Although the injuries" he had re
ceived were not of a serious nature,
they were sufficient to confine Char
ley to his bed for manydays, during
which he received tho utmost kind
ness aud attention, both from Mr.
Lewson and Mrs. Wilklns. For tho
fisrt two or three days ho was forbid
den to converse, hisphysfclan fearing
lest feverish symptoms might bo de
veloped by the least excitement. Tho
prohibition being gradually with
drawn as he advanced towards conva
lescence, he began to talk with his
nurse about her master.
Mrs. Wllkins was notby any means
a garrulous woman, but on this sub
ject she was -always eloquent. From
her conversation, the young man
learned that his kind host was a for
eigner, but of what nation she did not
seem exactly to know ; Bhe thought
he was a Belgian. He was a studious
manrwno spent tho greater portion of
bis time among his books. She had
lived with him a twelvomonth that
Is to say, from his first arrival in Eng
land. "But he must have been over
here before," she said, "for bespeaks
English just like a native. And I
think the country must agree with
him, for he looked wretchedly ill and
worn when I first saw him; but now,
as you can Bee, he looks quite healthy
and strong. There's hia daughter,
too "
,Has he a daughter?" cried Char-
cried Mr. Lewson, with pretended ir
ritation. "If you go on in ibis man
ner, always fancying you dlsoover he-roJc-
and generous motives in every
proposition people make to you, you
will fall into sad errors. There is
nothing to thank me for in the case.
I want a secretary ; I cannot afford
to engage a man at three hundred a
year; I thfnk I can get you cheap.
All the advantage Is on my side. I
make a selfish bargain."
But Charley was not to bo deceived
by such arguments. "But I am a
stranger tayou," hesaid ; "you know
nothing of me ; I have placed no con
fidence In you ; I might bo utterly un
worthy of yours."
"Ah, there you go
euro you," answered his host, sooth
ingly ; "and you will bo well taken
caro of uutil you aro ablo to return
Ihorno. But now toll me, whero do
yu live, and what frlonds havo you,
so that I may send to thorn at onco ?'
'I havo no friends In London,"
answered Charley, a flush dyolng his
, palo oheok.
"Then nobody oan bo uneasy about
you," answered tho old gentleman,
cheorfully. "Now that matter bolng
aot at rest, I, as your doctor, ruuBt for
bid all further conversation. Mrs.
WHkliiB," turning to tho Bervant,
"send for your daughter. Sho will
havo to do tho housohold work while
you nurse this young gontloman. By
the byo," ho addod, "If you wish to
send to your lodging for anything,
you havo only to give your nddress to
Mrs. Wllkins, and Bhe will see to it."
Again tho oolor rushed into Char
ley's faoo, as ho thought of his meagro
wardrobe and his quoor lodgings.
Mr. Lewson'e-quiok 030 caught tho
look and ho Immediately added, In
nn indifferent tono of voice,. "But I
do not think there Is any necessity
for that. You will require nothing
for the present but what wo can. eup
ply you with."
After delivering n fow more direc
tions and injunctions, ho left the
room.
"Who is that gentleman and what
has happened to me?" asked Charley,
as the door dosed behind him.
"You've been knocked down by a
horee in-crossing the-road," answered
Mrs. Wlikins; "and'that gentleman
is Mr. Lewson. I was going to eay
you might almost think-auy accident
lucky that made you acquainted with
Buoh a man. If ever there was an
angel upon earth, it's him. But now
you must not talk that's the order ;
and I shall not answer any moreques
tjons, whatever they may be.''
ley, with increasing interest.
"Oh, yes! I'd quite forgot you have
never seen MI3 Blanche; she was In
the coach, too, when you met with
the accident. But there ! of course
you saw nothing then. Such a sweet
young lady, not sixteen ; knew very
little of English when she first came
to London, but speaks it as well as
you or I do-now ; of course with a for
eign accent. But she looks very deli
cate. I think she reads too much,
and I have taken the liberty more
than once to tell her papa so. But
she has the sweetest temper and the
prettiest face you ever saw.'
Charley began to feel quite curious
to see the lady bo highly praieed.
These conversations were pleaaantdis
tractlous to his own gloomy thoughts.
His sensitive nature began to shrink
from the hospitality aud benefits ho
was reoeiving from a ttranger. The
first day he was permitted to converse
with Mr. Lewson, ho referred to tho
fiubjeot.
"As your doctor, I must forbid you
disturbing your mind with such over
strained scruples, " eaid Mr. Lowson,
goodhumorediy. "Why, good gra
cious! did not I by. my furious driv
ing, for which any policeman could
havo summoned mo before a magis
trate, disablo you? What elso could
I do to make some atonement for such
u grave offenco, thuu to undertake tho
ohargeof you until you aro recover
ed ? How did I know but you might
sue me for heaven knows how much
damages? Do you not boo- there Is
great policy on my own side- in all I
havo done, and you aro too Innocent
to perceive It?"
Charley smiled, but tho argument
soothed his pride for a time. In. this
and other succeeding conversations,
Mr. Lowson, by delicatoand indirect
inquiries, gained a tolerably correct
insight into the truo position of his
patient's affairs, as far as his pecuni
ary means wero concerned-, as well as
into his charactor and disposition.
His conclusions upon the first wero
gloomy ; npon the latter satisfactory.
"He is rash, proud, and bensitivo,"
ho said to himself; "but honest, in
telligent, and tolerably educated. Ho
has had bouio disagreement at home,
and in a fit of splcou has cast himself
upon this world of London. The
temptations which will beset such a
youth, nro terrible to think of. If ho
leaves this house without eoine pur
poso In view, ho Is lost. What can
be dono to save him? Without rec
ommendation, it is impossible for him
to obtain any respectable employment
in this olty. Stay ; I think I havo
discovered o plan by which I can
servo him."
And Mr. Lowson fell into a brown
study, the result of which appeared
In a conversation ho held with Char
ley next day.
"I think you told mo that you
could read French and Latin?" said
he.
"Tolerably, aud with tho aid of a
dlctlonarj'," auswered Charley.
"That would do. I am just now in
want of a secretary ono whom I
could implicitly trust. Ifyouarenot
otherwise engaged, you would confer
a great favor upon mo by undertak
ing tho oQlco ; but on tho condition
that whenever anything mere remun
erative presents itself, I- must beg of.
you to put all consideration of me out
of tho case, and accept it atonceJ'
Tears of gratitude welled up into
Charley's eyes at this generous offer;
it was salvation to-him ; it snatched
him away from tho brink of that hid
eous gulf of destitution overr which,
day-and night, he saw himself hanging.-
Ho poured forth his thanks In
fervent, trembling tonea.
"Bah T what a.foolish.boy youare !"

again," suid Mr. Lewson ; "now you
are treading upon my self-conceit,
doubting my skill In reading charac
ter my pet vanity. As you say, I
know nothing of you, as the world
would consider. If you havo secrets
keep them to youruelf I have no cu
riosity to know them. I study char
acter from a truer utterance than hu-
as- man speech. I study from 'the hu
man face divine,' as one of your poets
phrases it,'r
"Sometimes that is a treacherous
guide," said Charley-
"Xo not Indulge In platitudes, tho
truth of which you havo had no op
portunity of proving,' said Mr. Lew
son, testily ; "for such is the source
of all error. The human countenance
Is not a treacherous guide, If rightly
read. Do not think lam deoeived by
a good-iooKing face, or tnat 1 form
conclusions at first eight. A look, a
movement, a play of a single feature,
will givo mo a key by which I will
read a man's booI. The moat con
summate hypocrite that over lived
was never master at all hours of that
dial-plate of his mind ; the evil with

Its mark there to be read by those
cunning in such cabalistic characters.
; But no such study is required in read
ing the faces of the young ; your skin
is not enough hardened to be mould
ed into a mask. Your face is like the
needle of a telegraphio machine it Is
bound to move according to tho Im
pulse given it by the current."
"I fear the indications you have
sometimes read offhave not been to
my honor," said Charley, smiling.
"Oh, I have not found perfection in
you young gentleman," answered Mr
Lewson, smiling in his turn ; "if I
bad, I should not have felt the least
Interest lu you. I detest colorless peo
plepeople made up of negatives.
Without evil there can be no good ;
it is the war between those two princi
ples that evokes tho nobility of man.
I can see many faults in you ; but
none that, under proper training and
restraint, are likely to prove danger
ous to yourself or anybody else."
"lam suro.Mr. Lewson, I do not
know how to express ray gratitude
for this undeuerred opinion you have
of me," said Charley, with deep feel
ing. "There you go again !" cried his
friend ; "than king mo now beeause I
could not find any hardened wicked
ness in you. Why don't you thank
me because you havo two eyes instead
of one, or tho common number of
limbs? It would not be a bit more ri
diculous!"
"I Bee, Bir, that you are determined
to take no credit for anything, so wo
will say no moro ubout It," sold Char
ley.
"That's right."
"But there i3 ono subjeot I must
speak upon," continued Charloy. "I
cannot permit all tho confidence to be
on your aide, and none on mine. I
owe you an explanation of my posi
tion "
"Stay !" criedlMT. Lowson, perom
torlly. "I forbid you to suy another
word upon tho subject. I will not
hear any of your secrete ; and that
you have some, T havo also read from
tho aforesaid indicator; for according
to tho words you.havo just spoken
your confidence would not be spon
taneous, but would bo given as a quid
jno quo. Besides which, for mo to
listen to Buoh confidences wauld be
tantamount to a declaration on- my
part that I had a sneaking mistrust of
my own Lavaterism a point upon
which, as I said before, I am excess
ively vain. You have- made another
blunder, you Bee."
"But, 6lr, you do not even- know
my name it is Charles " he hesi
tated, he.disliked to give the name of
Gandy.
"That is quite enoughr" Bald Mr.
Lewson, observing his momentary
hesitation. "Mr. Charles will do well
enough. I hato half measures. I
either trust a man Implicitly or not at
all. Wo all havo our skeleton olosets
I have mine ho said gloomily.
"Wero I to open it an show you its
contents, you might not be inclined
to accoptmy friendship. But let us
talk no moro of secrets. To-morrow
I will permit you to leave your room;
then I will Introduce you to my
daughter Blaucho, who mostanxlous
ly inquires after your health at; least
half a dozen times every day, and to
whom I shall oonfido the-care of your
convalescence."
Charloy expressed his gratification
at tho interest manifested by tho
young lady in his health, and how he
longed to bo introduced to her, whioh
indeed ho did. And then, Mr. Low-
son saying ho must go back to study,
the young man was loft alone.
It was many a day elnoo ho had
been so light of heart-as at that mo
ment. Ho was saved from tbo miser
ies that threatened him, honorable
employment was before him, and he
had found tho noblest and most gen
erous of friends.
Ho did not regret that Mr. Lewson'
bad-refused to recclvo his confidence.
Tho Bhort time that ho had passed in
London had agod his mind and tone
of thought by years, aud now that his-
imagination had grown cool, ho be
gan to-perceive how vague and unsat
isfactory was the story in whioh he
had so implicitly believed. He felt
tbat;.8ubmItted'to the cool reasonlng-
of an impartial person, it would crum
ble to pieces. The only foundation
upon which the whole fabric 6tood
woo the word of a disreputable old
fisherman known to be an unscrupu
lous ruffian, who, to render his word
even yet more untrustworthy, had
sworn revenge against one of thepriu
cipal persons against whom the story
was directed.
But, in a few hours, all these reas
onings were to be turned tops' turvy,
end all his conclusions reversed.
"Carry Lee must have written by
this time," he thought, and he felt
curious to hear news from Sandy bank.
So that same morning ho wrote a let
ter to Mrs. Gripley, saying that on
the day ho had left her house he had
met with a serious accident, which
nau connneu mm to Ms ueu ever
since. That ho should not return to
his lodgings, as ho was going to re
main with a friend. Ho, at tho same
time, requested her to send him tho
clothes which ho had left in his bed
room, any letter that might have ur
rlved in his absence, and also any
claim she might havo upon him for
rent. Mrs. Wilklns, having to go iu
to the High Street, Islington, to make
some purchases, undertook to be the
bearer of this letter.
Whon sho returned, she brought
Charley's modest parcel of clothes
with her. Mrs Gripley was very sor
ry to hear of his aooident, and hoped
he would come aud see her as soon as
he was well enough. "She spoke so
highly of you," added Mrs. Wilkius,
"and said that she was quite satisfied
with tho week's rent you'd given her,
and should not think of making any
further charge. And here's a letter
for you, Mr. Charles, that came a day
or two baok.
Charley eagerly took the' letter, but
blushed scarlet as he saw the big,
awkwardly folded sheet of paper, with
its crooked writing, guiltless of a cap
ital letter. But tho exterior wbb a
perfect specimen of caligrapby.when
compared with the interior, whioh
rather resembled Chinese characters
in their odd shapes and tendency to
run from corner to corner of the pa
per, it was Carry's first essay in the
epistolary art, and was certainly an
extraordinary composition. It told,
in a roundabout way, how his disap
pearance had been the town talk, how
Mrs. Gandy had raged, anchow her
neighbors had rejoiced. Then came
a passage whioh eagerly excited
Charley's attention that told how a
strange lady had paid a visit to Mrs.
Gandy, and how people whispered
that they believed it had something
to with his Charley's disappear
ance ; how the lady had stayed at the
"Star" at Dalkham, where Mrs. Gan
dy had visited her, and Juck Bilge
also. But tho most marvelous news
of all was yet to come.
Both Jack Bilge and tho Gandys
had disappeared from Sandybank
within three days of tho stranger's
visit.
BHge went away without leaving
any trace behind him, or saying one
word to his wife ; and tho parish had
set the police to work to arrest him
upon a charge of deserting his family.
Mr. and Mrs. Gandy disappeared the
day aftor, without giving a hint to
anybody of their intention. Mrs.
Gandy had picked a quarrol with Peg
gy, the servant payed her her wages,
and dismissed her upon tho spot. The
next morning tho shop did"not open
as usual.and by-and-by tho neighbors
heard from a railway porter, that Mr.
and Mrs. Gandy had gone to Norwich
that morning by tho five o'clock train.
Her furniture and stock had been
delivered Into the hands of a Norwich
auctioneer, to bo disposed of by pub
lic auction. Whether tho worthy
couple had gone to take up their abode
in Norwich wa3 a fact that not the
most inqulsitivo of tho Sandybank
gossips could discover. The whole
town was in a state of fermont at this
extraordinary migration of its inhab
itants. The letter concluded with tho
writer's kind love, and a hope that
Charloy was doings well, and that she
should soon hear from him.
The reader may easily Imagine the
state of wondering excitement Into
which our hero was thrown by this
epistle. Here was the confirmation
of Bilge's story. This strange lady
was, doubtless, Helen Deerbrook. But
what was tho meauiug,of tho Gaudy's
flight for their sudden departure
oould be regarded in no other light
and of tho disappearance of Bilge?
That these events had something to do
with himself, he was-couvluced.
Tho resolution to solve this and the
other mysteries onco more rose strong
within him. Again ho repeated the
vow that ho had made at that bedside
in Blakely Hall this time with less
of romauoo and moro of quiot deter
mination. He had begun to learn the
lesson of patience. Ho said to him
self: "I must wait until health and
strength are reatored to me, beforo T
can movo in this matter."
As ho was standing, thatsamo day,
at his window, which looked into the
street, a man oniEo out of tho house,
whose back, for ho could not see his
face, ho seemed to recognise.. He
therow up tho sash and looked aftor
him. It was very like Mr. Kaufman,
iuo uennan wnom ne nau once seen
at Mrs. Grlploy's. What could behis
business with Mr. Lowson T
When Mrs. Wilklns next came into
.the room, ho asked her if she knew
the gentleman's name who had just
left tho house, aa ho fancied that he
had met him somewhere.
But sho auswored evasively, thnt so
many foreign gentlemen visited her
master, that she could not remember
their names. Mrs. Wilkins was only
garrulous in her employer's praiso,but
never upon his affairs.
Other thoughts soon put the circum
stance out of Charley's head, until
after'ovonts rocalled It to his memory.

Story of a Golden Robin.
Lovers of tho birds will bo Interested
In the story of a golden robin in New
bury port that has been-through quite
a tragedy for a small chap. While
engaged with his raafc in building
their nest, whioh was suspended fifty
feet high, from an extreme branch of
an o!m, his foot became entangled In
a piece of twine, which he was deftly
weaving into the structure, and losing
his balance he dropped about two feet,
the length of his rope, and hung" in
midair. The little rascal had stolen
the string from the grocery steps near
by, and retribution was sure and swift,
though he doubtless thought hanging
severe penalty for so small an offense.
He hung several hours, struggling till
exhausted to regain bis nest, his ter
rified mate fluttering and screaming
around him, and the spectators below
pitying his fato but unable to relievo
him. Finally a tender-hearted spec
tator came to the resoue with a long
ladder and a hooked pole. He ascen
ded the tree snd climbed along the
limb till he could reach the-bird with
the hook, and capturing him, brought
him down In safety. Bobby's leg was
found to be badly broken aud twisted.
Dr. Hurd volunteered to Bet It, think
ing it might possibly be saved, though
in a few days it was obvious that am
putation would be necessary, and the
Doctor performed It as skilfully as if
his patient had been a Chrisian, and
at a third visit removed tho bandages
and pronounced him all right. After
Robby had been stomping around his
place.of confinement a few days his
kind protector caught his mate and
rostored her to the bosomof her lord,
and now the little oouple are tho hap
piest of all the songsters that oompose
his "happy family." Boston Post.
