He was looking for tin- man who had brought him to take him awa again gracefully. "The Ycallv remarkable tiling IS pursued Mr. Calhem, -that In- has had no classical training whatever.

"I have vinited the place." returned the poet. "Mv old pupil. Tregarthen, of Tre jrai then (that sounded well thought the tutor), saved this young gentleman's life at the risk of his mm, nearly a doen years ago. The child was ship wrecked, and lieu as the only one of the ship's paengcis who was .saved. Tregatthcn adopted him and hied him; amfl am happy to believe that he will rcllect great credit upon m friend." "I lis . 'r-.es are very remarkable," naid the poet. "I should be pleased to meet the young gentleman." "I am -ure.'' leturned Mr. Calhem. with a bow. "that he would indeed be proud." The poet walked home that evening after palling from his friend. "Ticgarthcn'J" he said to himself. Savcifhis life at the rink of his own. Adopted him; I should like to see the lad. That she should rejoin him after all these years and be happy is im los.sibIe.

What it was that prevented Ronald Marsh from carrying out this barclv tormed sill titmn of his is .scarcely wolth inquiring, ."some sense that he had no right to intrude upon Mr.-. Trc garthett's alia it's, some feeling that by a pretense of being interested in a youngter's verses he might po ibly set "that youngster on a wrong tack for life, and .some little tinge of personal dis quietude at the open adulation of Mr. ChIIiciii. were probably mingled to gether, and between them had .strength enough to leae him undecided.

(!.-sanier. a Comedy in Three Acts," a production of Mr. Ronald Mar-h's pen, was playing at this time at the Mirror 'I heater, and Miss Churchill w.i.s the heroine of the piece. The pot liked to see his ow i work now and again and an evening or two alter his ciicotititci with the tutor he looked in toi the - niid act. and found hnuselt -rated In-tde no les a per-ou than Calhem. who. with a humble ef-lusivejies-. reo;nttd htm at once, and inline liatelv mi tiie fall of the eurtain pp'-euied I'lul.

"Thi-. Mr. Mir-h." aid Calhem. "i- Mr. Maurice, the oung gentleman of whom I -poke on Sunday evening. This. Mr Maurice is Mr. Ronald Marsh, the author ot the lovely comedy we have ju-t had the pleasure of wit nessing." l'hil accepted the poet' hand with a souse of worship H. Ji:l,l never seen a ,j.live poet before, he was very young. ?"and he had iauhed aloud and wept in wardly over the comedy, so that to meet the author ( it was coining into a lcdy place lb -aid .something in a hot shy ne abo.u the beauty of the work, ami the pot wa pleaed tohae touched youth o keenly, and took a great fanex to the ingenuous eyes and handsome fire of the bo. The pii.p.-i ilong if im wanted to look like a man of the world who knew London- -eeiued to the tutor to go to "Evan'" after the play and .-up. He rropo-ed this; ami the poet, who had known the house in his youth, after a little hesitation, consented to make one tf the party Calhem. mighty proud ot his distinguished guest, led the way; and having secured a place, ordered oysters, and would, but for the pro tecting infliii nee of the poet, have coupled champagne with them. Phil, under the genial influences of the tiieater. the society of a poet and supper at a place o novel to his ex periences, began to loe the chief part of his hy !- :;nd to talk. He was full of M Churchill, and rather more than half m love with her, ami the poet was pleased by his rapture... 1 have not been" in London long," s-aid the boy. "and I never aw a theater until I came here, so that I can't pitend to be a judge; but I Vhouhl think she is the finest aelioss in the world "' "She .stands admittedly at the head of her own st hool," saiif Calhem. "At least," deferring to the poet. "I believe so." "Why." cried Phil, Hushing with shyness ami enthusiasm, when he. j)okc that line To ir.e rcjrm md mcoaorf r Ike ' ,t wa.snt lixe acting', it was like ce in" a flow heart-break. And how beautiful hc is!" "A line woman." said Calhem, "and a fine actress! Ik-yon d a doubt. Mr. Maurice." he added, with that manner of allowance which more than anything else in the world makes a man abomin able in a boy's eyes, "in at the age of enthusiasm."" " And so am I," said Marsh, cover ing Phil from the fire of patronage, "happily for my-e'f. Not to admire is an art for a yokel." " Vet then: was a great poet, sir." aid the tutor, "who con f eased it all the an he knew " i o juane uieu nappy , returned Mar-h. "And that is a creed for a cvnie. Of all inebtneholy spectacles in the world, Mr. Maurice, a gray heart in a green body is the most lamenta ble. W are all egoti-L-. and we like to coddle ourselves with warm and pleasant faneie-; and so. when we have jo-t our youth, we av it was a giddy. irrc-pon-ibb foohh time; a- if a gate post should deride a tree, or the dried ro -leave in a Dreden saucer ru-tle them-elve with laughter at a rose" Phil, already charmed with the poet's drama, wa delighted at this. "That," said he to him-elf. "is how a poet ought to talk! What would life be worth if one were never to be young?" " Your simile carries you a little too far, sir," -aid Calhem, who was -ome-what nettled. A -ctioolmaster is gen erally more u-ed to reproving than to reproof. "The perfect adjunct would be a dead man thinking poorly of a live one. Though, to my mind, the responsible gravity of mature life is "a good exchange for the irresponsible enthusiasm of youth." "And what doc- Mr. Maurice sav to this?" asked Mar.-h. "Why. sir," said Phil, "nobody thinks worse of the oldest apple tree because it blos-onis now and then." Marh laughed, but Calhem looked puz.lcd and oll'ended. ".Shall we go?" said the poet. "Do you walk home, Mr. Calhem? My road lies past your hou-e" They walked to (Solden Square to gether, and, to the tutor's chagrin, the eminent person :iddrc-cd himself ehielly to Phil, 'and at parting it was theyoungster and not his tutor to w houi he presented hi- card. "Come and see me, when you have time," by said; "I am always at home until two o'clock. Come up to-morrow." Phil went oil" gayly next morning, and found Mr Marsh at home, and had a bright talk with him. If Phil were jdeased with his host -and there was little doubt of that Mar-h was yet the more jdeased of the two. The lad's bright face and hopeful converse did him good. He felt rather wicked, how ever, when he began to draw his guest out about Tregttrthen.and as if he were doing an underhanded thing in listen ing to him. Phil described the island and the Iiouhc, told him quaint things about the score of inlanders, who were all oddities in their way, as they wen likely to be (though the historian had never thought them so until they grew curious by contrast with the people of the wider world in which he now moved), and even repented one or two wonderful old ballads, which sparkled for the philologist, but were, for any body else, simply and merely droll. "And what manner of man is Mr. Tregarthen?" asked Mr. Marsh, at length. "Oh. Arthur!" .said Phil. "The best man in the world I think. He is a great deal absorbed in scientific pursuits, chemistry, and all that, and the island ers have madcup their minds that he holds correspondence with the devil. Now. I shouldn't be surprised at find ing him engaged in converse with spiritual agencies of another sort, for he's a man without a fault. He's a gentleman." cried Phil enthusiastically, "from his soul to his kin!" This was hardly what the poet had expected to hear, though it was natural that Trcgarthcn's ward should think well of his preserver. "He saved your life. I think?" "He did," said Phil, his cheeks flushing. ."I've heard o4d Reuben I'ollarth tell the story ni-iny a time. One of the men on board we were on the Kb- of Klba. from P.onibay to Liv erpool tied me to a spar and threw me overboard just before the smas'i came I can remember crying and begging him not to do it, and fighting before I was tied, hut I can't recall anything after that. It was uch a night, old I'ollarth says, as no living man can remember. I've known the west vvi-:d blowing there, and tin wave coming in at the Sea-gate, but the old man -ys that what I've looked at i no more than a boy could make by stirring a puddle with a -tick in comparison to what it was that night. I drifted up somehow, vvilii the -par. and Aithur saw me. and went in afte me headlong. The next wave threw us up together, and the spar struck him on the head and stunned him: but ohl I'ollarth inui tune to grip ai me spar, ami his ,on took hold of him. and Rill Pollailh took hold of Ren. and the rest all held on and the wave went back without us. Arthur was a month in bed after it. and was crazy half the time or more." Marsh felt something of the glow Phil's heart experienced a this tale was told. The two not merely parted well pleased with each other but held each other in mind, and met frequently, and in a little while became intimates and friends, it was natural that Phil should turn often, in his speech with Marsh, to Tregarthen Island and its owner. And there gradually g:ew up in the poet's mind the clearest image ot the man a uiouruttil tnd ti-ider ht-aitt'il cvuic. w ith a crae "His wife ran away from him," said Phil speaking of him one day. "The people on the island and the people at (Jovbay always declare that he ill-used her. or was guilty of some dreadful villainy: but 1 know better. Nobody ever knew Arthur do a mean thing nobody ever knew him do a mean thing or a cowardly thing." When he was alone again Phil's mind was so occupied with hi protector that ho must needs sit down and write to him instanter. Tivgai then had written, a week or two before: "Your letters are the only murmurs of the world that reach me. and are all 1 care to reach me." Rooks, plays, and pictures filled the youngster's head ehielly. and it was mainly of them that he wrote. "I have made a most fortunate ac quaintrce. wrote Phil, "in the person of a Mr. Ronald Marsh, one of the most distinguished of our modern poets. He is the author of a comedy called "Go samere." now being performed at the Mirror, with which I was enchanted. The chief part is taken by Miss Church ill, who is simply di inc. I have seen 1! the principal actors and actresses now. and there is n body who comes near Mis Chure'iill.' Then followed criticism: "There" is about thi ndniita-bl-j artit a gr?.C5 vul refinement which other actresses I.ick. fou arc enre at firt sight that w U a gentle woman. Perhaps her n-.re-t charm iw her voice, which is marvelou.-Iy -weet, and has an underlying tone of melan choly even in its uio-t joyous passages. Jvot that it invests her comedy witn a tinge of the maudlin, or that she play a gay scene in any but tiie brightest manner, but her voice oftens the ;tr perities of raillery, and .-eenis to astur.' you of a tender heart." There wa- u good deal more of thl, and Tregarthen p-ad it with strange feeling,. The heart has wound- -oiuc-tiuie which will not elo-e until Death applie his infallible heal-all. Tre garthen's heart was thu wounded. Scorn is a poor pla-ter for -uch a sore a he carried, but he knew of no other, or cared to apply no other. Forget fu!- ne- v.a out of hi- reach. When he read thi- lett-r of Phil'- hn j fir-t impuJ-e wa- to -it down and w.tm i the lad of women at large; but a little i rellcction told him what a hope ! l si: j thai w a -how little likely t K-pro-j peroiis in the is. of a vivid cari and impetu jii- lad like Phil, who w?.s. horn ti fall in love, :ts tip- -p-rk- t!y up ward. He went buck to hi- book am hi- cnii ible- and hi- mad experiment, and left the youngter unan-werid n! togeth r for the time. When in a we k or two another b-iu-r entin- lie expeeu d to find something more of Mi-- Church ill, and lie did not know whether relief or disappointment were the greater when he found no mention of In r. Phil'.- homeward letters touched Mi-i Churchill no more, and there were p a sotis for this which would have dis turbed Tregarthen had he known them. When Roland Mar-h and hi- young friend talked of Tregarthen the poel had oeca-ionally to listen to second hand diatribes again-t women, of whom his young friend knew, perhap. n lit tle "a could well be known. These, being inspired bv, naturally reflected on Tregarthen' wife; but for a time Mar-h was contented to dispute them on gen eral grounds, and to iii-tmct Phil that no man was ever truly good who could so libel one-half of humanity. He told Phil that a chivalrous attitude toward women was essential to any male hu man creature who desired to be a man, and more to the -aine cll" et. Now the young man was beginning to di-eovcr that he wa- by no means h misogynist but he would aii-wer: Truth before sentiment. I know otm truly good man the best man in tins world -so far the kinde-t-hearted. the purest-minded, and the most honorable and he thinks extremely ill of noun n. Perhaps he geneiali.es too much fiom one particular ea-e" (the young fellow had wonderfully philosophic ait's at this time, and talked with the gravity of a LTaudfalher); "bin. if In- il- . the one case was probably bad enough tc jtistih him. "Pet haps so," said the poet. "Rj the wav. Phil, did vou e.ver meet Mia Churchill?"' "No. ' said Phil. "Miotild vou like to meet het ?" "hike to meet her?' said I'mi. "I'i go from hep- to the Mifor on my hands and knees to meet In r." "That is not at all nrc -ry ." -aid Marh. smiling; "we. can t: ke a call. Re hep- at twelve o'clock to-tnoriow, and we will drive down to the thc-ale; tog. ther." Phil went away uplifted at tin- pros. pect. and sat far into the night slaving at the -oniiet beginning - "To what film irliule with n r voice tlilnl US joy and -oriow ha-t tfiuti cliiuiuril my "oul :" This production was addressed to Miss Churchill, as Rettha. in "('o-h. nier." ami the young versifier knelt at the shrine of Mis Churchill's perfec tions in such ardor as only a young ver-itier knows.

Now. thi i nil wrong, and it -time that people waked up to see it If the rum-seller wn. arrested w henever thi-e who had drank to intoxication at hi bar were guilty of a crime a crime evidt ntly committed becaue they were drunk if he had to tand with them in the dock and bear di-grace and pun ishment with them well, if thi- did not drive him out of the bu-ine it would make him a little more careful a. to when and to whom he -old bin Iiipiid damnation 'lhe cim due.-with which the liquor busine.- -hirk- it re sponsibilities is something marvelou. It will be one of the wonder- of hi-lory when our great gr.iud-chi!lren read the anu.il- of thi- aee. The case of those hoodlum made me think of sjin-ou and the foxe- ain--on caught the foxes and tied them to gether w ith firebrand-lietw ceo them. That is ju-t what our nun eller do Thev get men together. Thev lire them up iii couple- and companies. They know very well that men are far more recklix in ma-e than alone. And o they try to attract acrow d. 'I en no ii together will drink twice a mm h a- the aggregate ot what the s.mie num ber of men would drink if they went to the bar one by one Well, Sanison coup ed hi foxe and find them, and tli-n let them go. 'Ih.itw.i- all he did. He knew, ot cour-e.th.tt they would run into the standing corn of the Phil istines, and burn it up. Hut he didn't send them there. Then what right had the Philistines to blame .s.itn-on? What bu-iue had they to go and burn lit wife and her father? They did not un ib rtand the limitation ot responsibili ty as we do. They did not recoglite the inalienable right of men in a tree country to catch as many foxe a they can and tire them up and turn them loose. That you and I have standing corn that will" be imperiled by the fierv foxes may be our misfortune, but it i not .Samson's fault. All that he doe is perfectly right and legal. Our wrath anil indignation must be expended only on the foxes. Thev alone are to blame. If we can catch thctn we ought to pun ish them severely Hut a- fur.Vtiii-oii, he is as strong in bis rights a hi i in hi mu-cle. He need not go and in trench himself on the top of the rock Kl.un. He can set trap- for foxes with impunity all over the blackened fields, lb- can kindle freh tires there, and gather fire-brands, ready tor more sport whenever there i- any thing nior. to burn. Now. that is the theory and practice of the liquor busines in the-e (Iny. The world has made great progr-- since Sam-on. time. 'I In- giant of the still i a great deal stronger than tin giant son of Matioah was. And he goes about si. iv ing his thousands and tens of thou-auils. ami nobody thinks of arre-tiiig him as a murderer. h. no. he ha- a rij.ht to -lay. for In- doe not do the deid dipctly. He onlv sharpens the knife and puts it into the hand of tin- m.in h- has ra'd. mid tells him to go and kill somebodv el-e. In all other c i-e we arret and try a particep crimiui-. an acee-ory before the fact, an aider and abettor of ermie. And when we get wi-e enough and ju-t enough to do so in tiie ca-e of the bq. uortrallic. we will soon have tin- mo I ern amon horn. and grinding in trie mill of -ome iieful occupation in-tead of gathering foxi s and tying firebrand to their tail-.
