Yet she would send up her dinner properly,and do her work \vell,and never show it.

So the next day at dinner, he requested the a face over it, however, and put it down as soon as tasted, upon which Mrs. Danesbury said some mocking words to him, which set him still more against the water; and she actually, positively, told her own two chil- dren that they might have a double portion of beer if they wished it, to “teach Arthur sense.” After dinner, IVilliam whispered to should be able to drink the “nasty water” with dinner. Of course he could not: the child had never been accustomed to drink it ; Mrs. Danesbury had given him the taste for stronger things. On this Sunday. as they sat at dinner, Ar- thur was describing to them his university life. He appeared to have formed a close friendship there : it was with a young man of a his own age, who had matriculated at the same time :shimself, the Honorable Reginald Dacre. “ Those college friendships do not continue in after life, Arthur,” observed Mr. Danes- bury. “ Mine with Dacre will not, I daresay,” replied Arthur, “for our paths will lie far apart. He will be a peer of the realm; I, but Arthur Danesbury of the iron works. But it is very pleasant, while it does last. I like him excessively, and keep him out of mis- chief; but for me, he would be overhead and ears in it.” “ You keep him out of mischief I” laughed Mr. Danesbury. Arthur laughed also. “ It is true though, sir.” On the afternoon of the following day,Mon- day, Mr. Danesbury was walking along a somewhat unfrequented path at the back of his factory, when a Woman all in rags, a begé gar, apparently, came in view. He' took” no notice of her; he was deep in thought; but the beggar haltedas he passed. ‘ ‘ “ Master 1” . ' _ It was Glisson ! Mr. Danesbury was shocked when he recognized her.
