It was a basket, a common white wicker basket, with a lid fastened down by a string. What did it con tain? Dirty clothes? What? A baby a ohild half a dosea weeks old, no mere. aeksdone. "Lying on the line, juet where it fell. Perhaps it didn't fall, perhaps it was chucked out What matter? I've got it, and got to look after it, that's enough for me!

You might get at him through the children that marvelous hanky-panky of yours, those surprising tricks; a child takes to you naturally at once. Try and make friends 'with these.

Jaek Kewbiggin wae by profession a conveyancer, but nature had intended him for a new Howl in, or a wiiard of the North. He wae more than half a professional by the time he wae full Crown.

They had now ceased their giuahow and were staving hacrt at their vieitofi. the meaveat was proaitiswii; Jaek Kewblggia began.

This and the repeated shouts of laughter seemed to produce some impression on him. Presently he looked over his shoulder sad said, but without animation: It is very good of you, air, surely; very good for you to take so kindly to the little chicks. It does them good to laugh a bit, but it nln't much as they've had to make 'em lately." It is rood for all of us new and again, I take it." paid Jack, desisting and going towards him, the children gradually collecting in a far off oorner and comparing notes. "You can't laugh, sir, if your heart's haavv: if vou do it can w only a sham." While he was spanking he had taken the UlbJa from the shelf, and resuminr his seat bes-an to turn the leaves over. I'm an untaught, rough country man. sir. mil 1 nave nearu hmi uiHb . v t 1 &U..a. these strange thing you do are only tricks; ain't it so?" Here was indeed a hopeful symptom. He w8 roused then to take some in terest in what had occurred., "All tricks, of course; it nil oomes of praatioe." said Jack, aa he proceed ed to explain soma of the simple proc esses, hoping to enohain the nan's at tention. 'That's what I thought, sir. or I'd have given you a job to do. I've been in want of a real conjuror many a long day, and nothing lees'll do. bee here, sir' he said, as he took a small, care fully-folded paper from between the leaves of the Bible, "do you see this?" It was half a Bank of nglaad note for 100. "How, sir, oould any oonjuror help me to the other half?" "How did you come by it?" asked Jack at onoe. "i 11 tell you, sir, snort as i can make it Conjuror or no conjuror, you've got a kindly heart, and I'm main sure that you'll help if yeu can. Dan, then described how he had pioked up the basket from the 10:45 Liverpool express. "There was the linen; I've kept it. See here; all marked quite pretty and proper, with lace round the edges, ne though its mother loved to make the little one smart." Jack examined the linen; It bore monogram and crest i he first he made out to mean II. L. M., and the crest was plainly two hammers crossed, and the motto: "I strike" not a common crest and he never remembered to have seen it before. And was that all? " 'Cept the bank note. That was in a poor old purse with a pawn-tioket and a thimble. I kept them nil." Like a true detective Jack examined vry article minutftly. The purse bore the name Hester Gorrignn, in rude letters inside, and the pawnticket was made out la the same name. THK SECOND HALF. When Jack Kewbiggin got back to the parsonage he found that his host had accepted an invitation for them both to dine at the "Big House,' as it was called, the country seat of the squire of the parish. "I have been lighting your battles all day," began Mrs. Sitwell, the hostess, when seated at dinner next to Jack. "Was it. necessary? I should have thought myself too inslgnltlonnt" "They were talking st lunch of your wonderful tricks in conjuring, and some one said thn the skill might prove inconvenient-when you played cards, for instance." "A charitable imputation; wltb whom did It originate?" "Sir UwisMallnby." "Please point him out to me." He was shown n grave, scowling face upon the right of the hostess a face like a mask, the surface rough and wrinkled, through which tho eyes shone with a baleful light, like eorpseoandlee in a sepulcher. Jaek let his companion chatter en. It was his habit to get nil the information possible about any company in which he found himself, for his own purpose as a clairvoyant, and when Mrs. Sitwell Ragged he piled her with artless questions, and led her on from one person to another, making mental notes to serve him hereafter. It is thus by careful and laborious preparations that many of the strange and seemingly mysterious feats of the clairvoyant oonjuror are performed. When the whole party were assembled in the drawing-room after dinner a chorus of voices, headed by that of the hostess, summoned Jaek to his work. Them appeared to be only one dissentient Sir Lewis Mallaby, who not only did not trouble) himself to back up the invitation, hut when the performance was actually begun was at no pains to conceal his contempt and disgust The oonjuror made the conventional plum pudding in a hat, fired wedding rings into quartern loaves, did all manner of nam tricks, kails frisks, pistol trieneand Juggisd on ssnisisntfoosiy right tfcrtagh hte repertory, There

Jack buagen sd few that wateh diresty ae saw it remaps throng it ne Ignt make its owner uneomhmama. if only for a moment But how to get of thane would do. It must be a good watch a repeater. air Lewis Mallaby's was the oaly oae in the room, and be at first dis tinctly refused to lend it But so many earnoet entreaties were addressed to him, the hoetess leading the attack, that hn oould not in oommoa eonrtesy tin ue to refuse. With something like a growl he took his watch off the ehain and handed it to Jaek Newblggin. A nurious, old-fashioned wateh it was, wnicn would have gladdened the heart of a watch collector all jeweled and enameled, adorned with crest and inscription an heirloom, which had probably been in the Mallaby family for years. Jack looked it over curious ly, meditatively; then, suddenly raising his eyes, he stared intently into Sir Lewis Mallnby's face and almost as quickly dropped them again. "This is far too valuable," he said, courteously, "too much of a treasure, to be risked in any conjuring trick. An ordinary modern watoh I might replaoe, but nets work of ait like tills." And he handed it back to Sir Lewis, who received it with ill-ooncealed sat isfaction. He was as much pleased, probably, at Jack's ex pro ion of possible failure in the proposed trick as at the recovery of his property. Another watch, however, was pounded into a jelly and brought out whole from a cabinet in an adjoining room. "Oh, but It is too preposterous," Sir Lewis Mallaby was heard to say, quite angrily. The continued applause profoundly disgusted him. "This is the merest charlatanism. It must be put an end to. It is the commonest imposture. These are things which he has ooached up In advance. Let him be tried with something whioh upon the face of it he oan not have learned beforehand by artificial means." "Try him. Sir Lewis, try him yourself," cried several voices. I scarcely like to lend myself to such folly or encourage so pitiable an exhibition." But he seemed to be conscious that further protest would be in Jack's favor; so he said: "Can you tell what I have in this pocket?" He touehed the left breast of his coat A. pocket-book." "Bah! Every one carries a pocketbook in his pocket." But do you?" asked several of the bystanders, all of whom were growing deeply interested in this strange duel. Sir wis Mallaby confessed that he aw, anu produced it an ordinary naorocoo leather purse and pocket-book, all in one. " Are you prepared to go on?" said the Baronet, haughtily, to Jack. "Certainly." " What does this pocket-book contain?" " Evidence." Evidence of what?" Of fact that must, sooner or later, come to light" What ridiculous nonsense! I give you my word this pocket-book contains nothing absolutely nothing but a Bank of England note for one hundred pounds." Stay!" said Jack Newblggln, facing him abruptly and speaking in a voice of thunder. "It is not so you know it-it is only the half I" And as he spoke he took the pocketbook from the hands of the really Btupefted Baronet and exhibited for inspectionthe half of a Bank of England note for see hundred pounds. Tli ere was much applause at this harmless and successful denouement of what threatened at one stage to lead to altercation, perhaps to a quarrel. But Jack Newbiggia was not satisfied. As you hare dared me to do my worst," said he. "listen now to what I have to say. Not only did I know that was only the half of a note, but I know where the other half ia to be found." "So tnuoh the better for me," said the Baronet, with an effort to appear humorous. That other half was given to shall I say. Sir Lewis?" Sir Lewis nodded indifferently. "It'mas given to one Hester Corrlgan, an old nurse, six years ago." Silence! Say no mere," cried Sir Lewis, in horror. Sir Lewis had been a younger son; the eldest inherited the family title, but died early, leaving his widow to give him a posthumous heir, the title remaining in abeyance until time flhowed whether the Infant was a boy or a girl. It proved to be a boy, whereupon Lew in Mallaby, who had the first information of the fact, put into execution a nefarious project whioh he had carefully eoaoooted in advance. A girl was obtained in a foundling hospital and substituted by Lady Mallaby's nurse, who was in Lewis' pay. for the newly-born son and heir. This son and heir was over to another aceomplloe. Hester Corrigaa, who was bribed with 100. half down, in the shape of a half-note, the other half to be paid when she announeed her safe arrival in Texas with the stolen child. It occurred to Mrs. Corrigaa in her transit between London and Liverpool that though 100 wsutd be aessntabk on her arrival, the emUd wenki be only

an laoumbraaee. She therefore threw

the basket oontalnlnt' htm out of the window, forgetting that ia it she had for safety deposited her purse.

L. N. From these facts and whet he had been told by Mrs. Sitwell, Jack rapidly drew his conclusions, and made a bold shot, whioh hit the mark, as we have seen. Lewis Mallaby's confess ion, combined with that of Mrs. Corrigaa, who wae found by the polios, soon reinstated the rightful heir, and Dan Bloekltt in after years, had no reason to regret the generosity which had prompted Him to give the little fondling the shelter of his rude home. London Tid-BUs. PRUDENCE IN ITALY. M HMMH-eut Fixture r h Yankee Wife wKh MN.ltftllMM Family. It was just sixteen years ago since she had first entered the hill town of St. Francis. She had not entered it alone, but in the company of a handsome bridegroom, Antonio Guadagnl by name, and so happy was she that every thing had seemed to her enchantingthese same steep streets with their ancient dwellings, the same dirt, the same yellowness, the came contin uous leisure and causeless beatitude. And when her Tonlo took her through the town and up this second ascent to the squalid little house, where, staring and laughing and crowding nearer to look at her, she found his family assembled, innumerable children (they seemed innumerable then), a bed-ridden grandam, a disreputable old uncle (who began to compliment her), even this did not appear a burden, though of course it was a surprise. For Tonlo had told her, sadly, that he was "all alone in the world." It had been oae of the reasons why she had wished to marry him that she might make a home for so desolate a man. The home was already made, and it was somewhat full. Desolate Tonio explained, with shouts ot laughter, in which all the assemblage joined, that seven of the children were his, the eighth being an orphan nephew left to his care; his wife had died eight months before, and this was her grandmotheron the bed there; this her good old uncle, a very accomplished man who had written sonnets. Mrs. Guadagnl number two had excellent powers of vision, but she was never able to discover the goodness of this accomplished uncle; it was a quality which, like the beneficence of angels, one is obliged to take on trust She was forty-five, a Now England woman, with some small savings, who had come to Italy as companion and attendant to a distant cousin, an invalid with money. The cousin had dltsd suddenly at Perugia, and Prudence had allowed the ohance of returning to Ledham with her effects to pass by unnoticed a remarkable lapse of the quality of which her first name was the exponent regarding which her whole life hitherto had been one sharply outlined example. This lapse was due to her having already become the oaptive of this handsome, this irresistible, this wholly unexpected Tonio, who was serving as waiter in the Perugian inn. Divining her savings, and seeing with his own eyes her wonderful strength and energy, this good-natured reprobate had made love to her a little in the facile Italian way. and the poor, plain, simple-hearted spinster, to whom no one had ever spoken a word of gaK lan try in all her life before, had been completely swept off her balance by the novelty of it and by the thronging new sensations which his few English words, his speaking dark eyes, and ardent entreaties roused in her maiden breast It was herons moment of madness (who haa not had one?). She married him, marveling a little inwardly when he required her to walk to Assist, but content to walk to China if that should be his pleasure. When she readied the squalid house on the height and saw Its crowds of occupants, when her own money was demanded to send down to Asslsl to purohaee the wsdding dinner, then she understood why they had walked. But she never understood any thing never permitted herself to understand. Tonio, plump and idle, enjoyed a year of paradisiacal opulence under her ministrations (and in spite of some of them); he was eighteen years younger than she was; it was natural that he should wish to enjoy on a larger scale than hers so he told her. At the end of twelve months a fever carried him off, and his widow, who mourned for him with all her heart was left to face the world with the eight children, the grandmother, the good old undo, and whatever courage she was able to muster after counting over and over the eighty-five 'dollars that alone remained to her of the six hundred she had brought him. Of course she oould have gone back to her own oountry, but that idea never onoe occurred to her; she had married Tonlo for better or worse; she oould not in honor desert the worst how that it had corns. It had come in foroe; on the very day cf the funeral she had been obliged to work eight hours; on every day that had followed through all these years the hours had an average fewness; times inert. -ilVstH Jftat ffteJsfM' srjr, Tk Fri Tmrd," in Mmf i Mneeaiatf. eaejj wvn eve w

CLEVELAND'S FAREWELL.

te President Cleveland's mssiags is a unage of no surrender and no com promise a declaration of unreieatiag war en eiasa privilege until it is completely overthrown by the re establish meat of sauaiitj before the law. It is the strongest massage that ever same from the White House. Conservative in the methods proposed ia sheekluf and informing evils, it is radical ia ita denunciation of them. It has no eon oeal meats and no reservations. With the statesman's , keen Insight into the vital questions of the time, the President shows not the least trace of the politician's hesitancy. He tpeake under the weight of a solemn responsibility to truth, and his voice is that of the people. If the abuses and political crimes he denounces are net reformed, this message will tome day be transformed from what is now a salm, logical state paper into an iaoeadiary doouiueat, setting men on fire with the sense of wrongs Anally understood because no longer endurable. It Is oo-extenslve in its scops with the entire range of home affairs and foreign relation, and throughout it is sustained in the manly dignity of truth. Leaving its incidental topics for the future, the Mtpubiic attempts for the present to follow the President only in that portion into which he has put all the foroe of his extraordinary forcible character the relations of government to wealth and the relations of wealth to the citizen. There is not a plutocrat in the oountry who will not feel every word the President has said here as a personal affront and a threat. Closing with tins message the huudreuta year of the Presidency, he glances briefly at the put only that it may illustrate the present by its contrasts. He refuses to believe that a Nation is great, prosperous or happy because of vast wealth in the hands of the few. From the time when "combinations and aggregations of capital were either uaknown or sternly restricted:" when the constitution, "the chart for our guidance," was honored and observed, he turns tovthe present when the con stitution Is disregarded ia favor of class; when as a result the agrieult ural communities are drained into the cities; when the wealth and luxury of city life exceeds the dreams of the founders of the Government; when the life of business is a mad race for wealth, and when vast aggregations of capital outrun the imagination in their undertakings. With this as an incident of the political aud social results of urban lifs and oiass wealth, he contrasts "the poverty, wretchedness and un re munerated toil" of the crowded and constantly increasing urban popula tions, upon which the discrimination of government against agricultural pursuits is leaving no sufficient check of conservatism. He sees the foroe of Government exactions aa the cause of the constantly widening gulf between employer and employed, with its symptoms of one very rich daes with every luxury and a constantly iaerees Ing elass of the very poor. He sees combination and monopoly grasping the rewards of labor, while the eltisen, to whom the constitution guarantees equality before the law. either "struggles far behind in the rear or is trampled on." Be sees corporations which should be the carefully restricted creatures of the law and servants of the people becoming the people's masters. He sees the Government taking into partnership with it a small but powerful minority and using its taxing power for their benefit until in doing so it stifles in them all patriotism and love of country, substituting for it a selfish greed and a grasping avarice under the tutelage of whioh the masses of the people are corrupted Into considering government as aa instrument to be used for gaining advantage oae over another. He sees "a communism of combined wealth" recognised and fostered by Government, and not lees dangerous man "the communism of oppressed poverty exasperated by injustice." He declares it a mockery of the people "to propose mat the Government shall protect the rioh and that they in turn will oare for the laboring poor'' a mockery because any intermediary of elass between government and people, or the least delegation of the oare and protection the government owes the humblent cltlsen, makes 'the pretended boon of American oltlaeaship" "a shameless imposition." He holds class government responsible for the growth of the paternal idea and for the jobbery of Congress; and reviewing resent legislation, he scores Congress as it was never scored before. 1 The tariff policy he outlines is for cheaper necessaries of life, untaxed raw material and a revenue tariff covering differences in labor cost There must be no compromise, he says. "It is the people's cause and it must never be surrendered." Moth surrender and compromise are squally Impossible. The conditions created by oiass legislation will fores readjustment of themselves, and it may or may not mean complete economic revolution. That depends en whether there oan be wisdom in "semsh greed and grasping avarios." The method of reform suggested by the President is worthy of his statesmanship and conservatism, but It Is not to be adopted. It is impossible under present conditions that It should be adopted.
