"Ding, ding, ding! Aid yo tho poor!
Prny for tho dead! Five o’clock and a
murky morning.” which
The noise of the, bell mid the cry
iccoiiipanied it roused mo from my first
sleep in London, and that with a venge¬
ance, the bell being rung and the words
uttered within tbreo feet of my head.
Wlicro did I sleep, then? Well, 1 had
found a cozy resting place behind some
boards propped against the wall of a lin¬
ker’s oven in a street near Mnorgato. The
wall was warm and smelt of new bread,
and another besiil.es myself hud discovered
it* advantages. This wns the watchman,
who had slumbered away most of Ids vigil
cheek by jowl with mu; but, morning ap¬
proaching, had roused himself, and before
he was well out of ids hod, certainly be¬
fore ho hail left ids bedroom, had begun,
tho ungrateful wretch, to prove his watch¬
fulness by disturbing every one ilse.
1 sat tip nml rubbed my eyes, grinding
my shoulders well against the wall for
warmth. 1 had no need to turn out yet,
but t began to think, and tho more 1
thought tho harder I stared at tho planks
ilx inches before my nose. M.v thoughts
turned upon a very knotty point, one that
I bail never seriously considered before;
What was I going to do next? How was
I going to live or to roar the now house of
i which I have made mention? Hitherto I
j had aimed simply nt reaching London.
London had paraded itself before my mind,
though my mind should have known bet¬
ter, not ns a town of cold streets and
dreary alleys and .shops open from 7 to 4,
With perhaps hero and there a vacant
place for an apprentice, but as a gilded city
of adventure and romance in which a
Joung man of enterprise, whether lie
wanted to go aboard or to riso nt home,

but London reached, tho hoarding in
Margate reached, and 6 o’clock in the
Btorntng faded reached, somehow these visions

have my breath again, ami tho child is

“Let me see,” the younger woman an¬
swered slowly, ns if in doubt. “Did we
Oome by tho church? No. Wo came the
other way.. Let us try this turning, then.”
“Why, child, we came that way,” was
the decided answer. “Wlmt aro you
thinking of? That would take us straight
back into his arms, the wretch! Como,

mere masculine speaker, “and a minuto

prison and freedom If we can reacii tho
Lion wharf by 7—it fis like to ho n dark
morning and foggy—we may still oscapc
before Mastor Philip brings tho watch
upon ns."
They moved briskly ns sho spoko, and
her words were already growing indistinct
from distance, while I remained still, Idly
seeking the eiew to their talk and mutter¬
ing over and over again the name Clar¬
ence, which scemail familiar to mo, when
n cry of alarm, in which I recognized on"
of their voices, cut short my reverie. I
crawled with nil speed from lny shelter
ftml stood Up, being still in n linn with
the boards nmi not easily distinguishable.
As she had mid, it Was a dark morning,
but the roofs of tho houses—now high,
now low—Could ho plainly discerned
against a gray, drifting sky wherein the
first signs of dawn were visiblo, and tho
blank'outlincs of tho streets, which met
at this point, could Do seen. Six or seven
yards from me, in the middle of tho road¬
way, stood three "dusky figures, of whom
I judged the nearer, from their attitudes,
to lie the two women. The farthest e.eemed
to Do a man.
1 was astonished to sea that lie was
standing cap in hand—nay, I wasdisgust
ed ns well, for 1 liail crept out hot listen,
expecting to he called upon to defend tbo
women But, despite tho cry I had heard,
they wen, talking to him quietly enough
as far as l conlil hear. And in a minute
or so 1 saw the taller woman give him
something took‘it.
He with n low how, nnd appear
ed almost to sweep 1 he dirt with his bon
net. Sho waved her I,uml in dismissal,
and lie stood hack, still uncovered. And
—hey, presto!—the women tripped swiftly
away.
By this time my curiosity was intensely
excited, but for a moment I thought it
was doomed toxlisappointiucnt. I thought
that it was all over, it was not by any
means. The man stood looking after them
until they reached the corner, and the nm
ment, they had passed it ho followed. His
stealthy manner of going nmi his fashion
of peering after them was cm,ugh for nie^
I guessed nt oneo that he was

and able n elation f nst HKhwUl, I started after Mjl£ him, using to
same precautions. What was sauce for
the geese was same tor Lie gander bo
wo went-two, one, one-.,Upping after
one another through half a dozen dark
streets, teiultng genera 1} southward.
Following htm ... this way 1 seldom
caught a glimpse of the women. Thomai
kept nt a considerable distance behind
them, and I had lny attention fixed on
him. But once or twice when, turning a
corner, i all but trod on his heels, I saw
them, and presently an odd point about
them struck me. ihcro was u white ker
chief sis^f.ass-^sstt. or something nttacbed «P^eiitly to
2XZ& with them, and l
acting throwing in ^concert ftway my pa^s? Or was was tn
white object which so betrayed thun
merely the result of earclessness and the
lack of foresight of women grappling with
a condition of things to which hey were
unaccustomed! Of course 1 could not uc
cide this, the more os, at that «llsfanc«, i
failed to distinguish «hat thou lute . on o
thing was or even which of the two niire it.
Presently 1 got a clew to our position,

She looked about her wildly, passion¬
ately, and 1 saw that she was at her wits'
end what to do or how to cseapeliitn. Hut
she was a woman. When she next spoke
there was a marvelous change in her. Her
face had grown soft, her voice low.
"Philip,” she said gently, “the purse was
light. I will give you more. 1 will give
you treble the amount within a few weeks,
ami I will thank you on my knees, and
my husband shall he such a friend to you
as you have never dreamed of if you will
only go heme uml be silent. Only that—
or better still walk tho streets an hour
and then report that you lost sight of us
Think man; think!” she cried, with oner
gy. "The times may change. A little
more and Wyatt had been master of Lon¬
don last year. Now the ptoplo aro fuller
of discontent than ever, and those burn¬
ings and torturings, those Spaniards in the
streets—England will not endure them
long. Tho times will change. Let tis go,
nmi you will have a friend when most you
need one. ”
He shook ids head sullenly. “I dare not
doit," ho said. And somehow I got tiie
idea that he was telling the truth anil that
it was not the man’s stubborn nature only
that withstood the bribe and tho plea. He
spoke as if ho were repeating a lesson and
the master were present.
When she saw that she could not move
him, the anger which I think came more
naturally to her broko out afresh “You
will not, you hound!” sho cried “Will
neither threats nor promises move you?”
"Neither,' he answered doggedly ”1
have my orders ”
So far I had remained n quiet listener
standing In tho mouth of tho lino which
opened upon the court where they were.
Tlie women had taken no notice of me,
either because I hey did not see mo nr be¬
cause, seeing me, they thought that 1 was
a hanger oil of the. limn before them And
ho, having Ids hack to me anil his ryes on

to him—a very great surprise, l think—
when I took three steps forward anil grip

was my real hope, and in that hope only
t left him.
Wo went ns fast ns the women could
wnik. I did not troublo them with ques¬
tions. Indeed I had myself no more lei¬
sure than enabled mo to notice their gen
eral appearance, which was that of com¬
fortable tradesmen’s women folk. Their
clonks nml hoods were plainly fashioned
and of coarse stuff; their shoes were thick
and no jewel or scrap of lace peeping out
betrayed them. Yet there was something
In their carriage which could not l>u hid¬
den, something which, to my eye, rnld
tales, so that, minute by minute I hernmo
more sure that this was really an adven¬
ture worth pursuing, and that London hud
kept a reward In store for me besides its
coiil stones and inhospitable streets.
The city was beginning to reuse itself.
A's we flitted through the lanes ami alley)
which Ho between (_#icnpsliio and tlie rivci
wo met many people, cbiefly'of the lower
classes, on their way to work. Yet in spite
af tliis wo had no need to four observation,
for, though th* morning whs fully come,
with the light had arrived such a thick,
choking, yiflow fog as I, being fir the
most pa rt country bred, had never expe¬
rienced. it'.vasso dense and blinding that |
wo had a difficulty In keeping together
and even hand in hand could srnroely see
one another. In my wonder how my com
panions found their way I presently failed
to notice their condition and only remark
ed the distress nml exhaustion which one
nt them was suffering when she began
notwithstanding nil her efforts, to lag Ini
hind. Then I sprang forward, blaming
myself much. * Forgive me," 1 said
You are tired, nml no wonder. Let me
oarvv tho child, mistress.”
Exhausted ns she was, she drew away
fro,,, me j-atously.
“No,” sim panted. ‘Wo are nearly
there. I am better now.” Ami she strain

1 feared I might take it from her l.y force.
“Well, If yon will not ,rust me,” I an
swred, ‘ let your friend carry it fora time.

Through tho mist she bent forward and
peorod into my face, her eyes scarcely a
foot from mine. The scrutiny seemed to
satisfy her. 8ho drew a long breath mid
hell out her burden. “No,” she said.
-You shall tako him. I will trust yon.”

A walk of a hundred yards or so brought
us clear of the houses and revealed h if,,re

fog Below this, ut our feet, yet apparent
ly a long way from us, was a strange, pale
n„ 0 of shimmering light, which they told
mo was tlie water. At first I could hardly
believe this. But, pausing a moment
wh'.lo my companions whispensl together,
dull crenkinps and groanings and uncouth
shouts and cries, and at last tho regular
beat of ours, pime to my ears out of the
bank of vapor^nd convinced me that wo
really had the river before us.
Mistress Sn Bertram turned to me abrupt

a puzzled way, as though she thought she
ought to know me—as though 1 reminded
her of someone. Paying little hoed to
Mils then, 1 hurried her and lu‘r coinpan

of foreshore strewn with piles of wood and
staoks of barrels and old rotting boats, be¬

nntely it was high tide, and so we had imt
far to go. In a minute or two I distfu
guished the hull of a ship looming large
through tho fog, nmi i» few more stops

Slake Convicts Pay Their Way.
Next to Denver Washington is called
by many tho most, beautiful city in the
United States, its clean, Wide avenues
and streets cannot bn sufficiently admlr
ert by thosu who ennui from places where
tho highways are crooked, narrow,
broken and dirty. Washingtoh roads
and streets nre built I y workhouse con¬
victs, mostly black they seem to be, ns
their dark figures, clad in stripes, mors
to nnd fro busy ns mits.
North Carolina presents au object les¬
son nnd tlie model system of roadraak
ing to her sistor states. Her convicts will
boreafter work on tho public highways.
The problem of finding employment
for penitentiary prisoners and yet not
having them come in competition with
honest labor is thus solved atone stroke.
New York, Texas and Ohio nre consider*
ing ,bo establishment of tho same sys
ten,.
It >3 so admirable that tho won tier ii
all the states did not inaugurate it long
ago. Criminals ought not to bo permitted
to eat their heads off in prisons nt pub¬
lic expense, growing lazier and more
Wortliless every day. Neither should
they bo leased out to rascally contract
orR wbo j. e t tiioir work lor nothing
while holiest laborers Rtarvo.
No! Put them tm tho public high¬
ways. Tho counties and states aro too
poor to par for mnhing and mending
roads properly. Hero is Inbor already
to their hand flint will not new! folia
pai.i for. At the same time the convicts
Will get the disaiplino of regular work
in tlie open air. It will bo tbo saving
and tho making of many of them.
