Jack Howard stole away from Goodwood im- mediately after the cup had been run for and | took the first train back to town. He had not | the heart to make light of his ill-luck, to drown sorrow inthe flowing bowl, and to return to Boxnor with his brother officers onthe regi- mental drag, hilariousand excited, according to precedent. It was by no means the first time he had been badly hit, but on this occasion his losses were so_ serious and involved such grave consequences that he felt almost stunned at the | dismal prospect before him. He could not disguise the fact that he was utterly broken. Impelled by desperation to stake his honor and reputation upon the result of the Goodwood cup, he found himself a ruined man, unable to meet his engagements andgullty of recklessness which might be called by a very unpleasant name. He returned to townstricken with horror and despair, and mechanically turned his steps towards the club. Ashe was walking westward he came face to face with the man of all others he would most gladly have avoided at the moment, for Mr. Porter Bligh was his rival for the affections of the girl he loved. Jack attempted to pass by with a nod, but Mr. Porter Bligh pounced upon him. “Tsay, Mr. Howard! This is bad news for ” inquired Mr. Bligh, mysteriously. “Deuced bad,” replied Jack, too miserable to al his discomfiture even from his rival. “1 was afraid so. I am sorry to hear it,” con- tinued Mr. Bligh in a tone which was not partic- ularly sympathetic. “+I have just called on Misa Trevanen. { promised to let’ her know the re- sult of the race immediately.” “Indeed,” said Jack, with a twinge at nis heart, as he guessed the cause of the young lady's anxiety. 1 got a friend to wire me the winner from the course, and directly I received the telegram I took it on to Miss Trevaner She could not see me, but I sent it in to her. Mr. Bligh imparted this information with the air of a man who is talking for the sake of keep- ing up a conversation. All the while he was scanning Jack’s miserable face with very keen eyes. ve Which way are you going ?” he inquired ab- ruptly. ETD the Club,” replied Jack, moving off. “You are going back to the city, f suppose.” “1 will walk with you,” said Mr. Bligh, turn- ing on his heel. ‘I should like to have a chat with you, Between us we may be able to set things straight.’ Mr. Bligh had a confident tone and manner which on ordinary occasions irritated Jack very much, but which, in his present frame of mind, sent @ momentary ray of hope through his bosom. Nothing was further from his thoughts than the idea ot seeking the assistance of his rival in the difficulties which encompassed him, but he instinctively jumped at the prospect of a practical suggestion, just as a drowning man will clutch at a straw. He secretly entertained rather an exaggerated notion of Mr. Bligh’s tact and shrewdness, holding the unsophisti- cated opinion that a wealthy city man, who had amassed a fortune by energy and enterprise, was the personification of worldly wisdom. ar. Bligh passed his arm through Jack’s with unaccustomed familiarity, but did not imme- diately continue the conversation. Jack was naturally reticent about his affairs with a com- parative stranger, and consequently nothing was said on the subject until they were both seated in a corner of the smoking-room of the Pheenix Club, which at that hour and on such a a: s completely deserted. ‘Well, Mr. Howard, what is the figure?’ quired Mr. Bligh, cheerily, as he lit a cigar. ck looked at his companion with a puzzled expression. He could not conceive the motive of his sudden friendliness, yet he knew him suf- Amen, But now he’s gone | ated by pure benevolence. It was rumored that money In unscrupulous ways, though nodeflnite charge had ever been proved against him. But he looked so eminently respectable that it was impossible seriously to believe what was said about him by envious persons; and as Jack gazed upon the bold, handsome features, the neatly arranged iron-gray hair and whiskers, and the sedate attire of his rival, he was seized with a feeling of remorse at having doubted his integrity and questioned his good nature. “It is really very kind of you, Mr. Bligh, to interest yourself about me,” said he. “Don't mention it. aturn toa friend when I can,” said Mr. Bligh, in an off-hand way. ‘Now. how much would you require to enable you to settle up at Tat- tersail’s on Monday?” Jack named a sum which.caused Mr. Bligh to give a loud whistle, for not anticipating that his rival contemplated offering his pecuniary ald, he did not attempt to conceal the magnitude of his liabilities. Mr. Bligh seemed quite taken aback by the amount, and sat silent for some minutes, reviewing his shapely finger nails with & meditative air, while Jack wondered what was Passing in his mind. Presently he sald, with- out looking up: ““How much can you get?” S “Nothing,” sald Jack, dejectedly; “at least, nothing that would assist me. I might raise a few hundreds, perhay “Won't your uncle shell out—the Baronet, I mean ?” 0; we quarreled long sald Jack. “He married to spite you, I’ve heard, and he seems to have effected his purpose completely noW that he has two sons of his own,” said ; Bligh, with rather a coarse laugh.

What are the con- “That you leave England for good, to-mor- Tow, after writing Miss Trevanen such a letter as will make it quite clear to her that every- thing between you is at an end. You will let me see the letter, of course, and, if necessary, will adopt any suggestion of mine in wording it. And, as a matter of form, I shall ask you to give me your note of hand for the amount ot the ad- vance, with interest.” “Why do you want me to leave to-morrow?” said Jack. “I have got until Monday, you know.” = “It Is one of my conditions that you start to- morrow,” returned Mr. Bligh, with decision. “You can accept the terms or leave them. As regards the note of hand,” he added, jotting down a few words on the back of an envelope and handing it to Jack, “that is my sugges- ton.” “T have nothing to say to this, of course,” re- marked Jack, fairly staggered by the enormous premlum which was added to the debt. “Is there any prospect, then, of my belng re- paid?” asked Mr. Bligh, innocently. “I can't say there is at present,” replied Jack, ‘though, if! accept your offer, it shall be the aim of my life to repay you. { don't object at all to this, but Iam sorry to say—” “Don't 'be hasty, Mr: Howard,” interrupted Mr. Bligh, rising from his seat and looking at his watch. “Think it over, and if you can see any other way out of your difficulties so much the better for you. {t not, call upon me at my office at 11 o’clock to-morrow.” “Very well,” sald Jack, doubtfully, “I will come if—if—" “If you are wise,” interposed Mr. Bligh, playfully. “Well, good bye, until we meet gain. oenelt to himself, Jack pondered long and ser- jously over Mr. Bligh’s startling proposition, and though his impulse was to refuse the offer, he BARGAINING EPR & CHILD. oe The Surroundings of a Common Enough Traffic im Flesh and Blood. From the N. ¥. Sun. Acchildless man clipped the following adver- tisement from a newspaper of yesterday's date and called at the address given: POE ADOPTION—Two béantifnl female children, 3 years and 3 ths okt; both blondes. 530% rook, Over CIERE ator, = The crying of seyeral infants upon the second floor was audible outside the store. The vis- itor entered the narrow hall and climbed the stairs. At the sound of,-his footstep a pretty child of about three years came out from a room to the right and ran up to him, and an- other child ot about the same age watched the visitor suspiciously from the door. Both were neatly dressed. A middle-aged woman, with @ rather kindly face, stepped into the hall, and in response to a brief inquiry led the way into a small room to the left. The furniture here was neat, but scanty. Two beds, with white counterpanes, were set against the wall. On one bed two infants were lying. Both were awake and one was kicking and worrying. The woman picked up the latter, and it at once gazed with quiet interest at the newcomer. “This is the three months’ old child met tioned 1n the advertisement,” said the womal “The other child is over on the east side of town. Did you ever see a child three months old who notices things as this baby does? See | what a nice skin it has, and feel its flesh. Nice | and hara, isn’t it? It’ healthy child, and it has a good hold on life. ‘I want to know something about its parent- 2." “Splendid parentage. But I'm only taking care of the child. My sister has stepped out after the lady who has it for adoption. She is a midwife, and will be here soon.” ‘The babe remaining upon the bed was sharp featured, thin and puny. ‘Is that child for wayered when he thought of the alternative. The young man did not shrink from going abroad and commencing life afresh in the new world, for such now seemed to be his inevitable tate under any circumstances. But he shuddered at the idea of leaving behind him a ruined reputation, and bringing disgrace on his old regiment by failing to meet his obligations. On the other hand, he felt that by agreeing to Mr. Bligh's termshe would be guiityjof the meanness of treat- ing Maud Trevanen’s love for him as a subject of bargain and sale. His whole nature revolted at sucha base act, the more especially as he fully reciprocated the young lady's flattering re- gard. It was quite true that all hope of gaining her hand must now be definitely abandoned, but he resolved that the sacrifice he was bound in honor and from necessity to make should net be tainted by a suspicion of interested motives. Poor Jack Howard did not arrive at this de- termination until after many hours’ bitter reflec- tion. The night had run into the small hours of the morning before he retired to rest, and he seemed hardly to have closed his eyes when he awoke from a troubled sleep to find his man standing by the bedside saying that a gentleman wished to see him. “Old Mr. Trevanen, by Jove!” exclaimed Jack, as he glanced at the card which was handed to him. ‘Evidently the old boy has heard I have come to grief. and has determined to lose no time in sending me to the right-about. Well, I suppose I can’t blame him for looking after his daughter's interest, but I think he might have even me credit for intending to do the right thing.” Nevertheless the young man resolved, while performing a hurri ed tollet, to be forbearing and considerate to Maud’s father, whatever he might say, and to receive his dismissal in a proper spirit of humility. “I must apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Trevanen,” he said, on entering the sitting- ‘The fact is I overslept myself.” “Don't mention it, my dear Howard,” replied the old gentleman, rising from his seat. “It is almost a sin to disturb anyone at this early hour. My excuse must_be that Iam not responsible for the present visit. Maud insisted on my coming, and she must bear the blame.” Jack was considerably puzzled by old Mr. Tre- vanen’s tone and manners. He was less pom- pous and consequential than usual, and evinced a sort of guarded cordiality. No doubt he had heard nothing of the young man’s fresh troubl but even in that case his demeanor was w accountably civil. Jack could not help feelin; rather embarrassed, knowing how soon the ol gentleman would change his tone. “I expect Ihave come on’ &’ f66l's' erraria,”* said Mr. Trevanen, adjusting his gold eyeglasses and searching in his coat pocket, “but Maud was inexorable. She said she would come her- self if I didn’t, so I chose the lesser evil. Oblige me, Mr. Howard, by looking at that.” He handed Jack a telegram as he spoke, and watched him rather anxiously while he read. The dispatch bore the previous day's date. and was addressed by a Mr. James Stone, of iverpool, to Mr. Porter Bligh, London. It ran hus: “You are right. Splcer misprint for Spencer. Took passage in'that name. No one at ship- ping office suspects identity. . “I should explain,” interposed Mr. Trevanen, while Jack was reading the missive for the second time with a blank expression, ‘that our friend Bligh promised to send Maud the name ofthe winner of the Goodwood Cup imme- diately the event was known. What it mat- | tered’ to her, Heaven only Knows! but Bligh took the trouble to come up trom the city dur- ing business hours, and, finding Maud from | home, he enclosed that telegram in an enve- lope and left it for.her.” “He must have had two telegrams in h pocket and enclosed the wrong one by mistake,” said Jack. “No doubt,” replied Mr. Trevanen, ‘but what has occurred to Maud is this; that the Mr. Spicer or Spencer referred to is probably your uncle. She thinks she has heard you say ‘that when your uncle travels abroad ‘he generally calls himself Mr. Spencer to avoid being im- posed upon on account of his title.” “By Jove! that’s true. I remember men- tioning the fact a few days ago when Bligh was present,” exclaimed Jack, with sudden in- te “Well, now look here,” sald Mr. Travanen with importance, unfolding the morning paper which he had brought with hi I read this announcement aloud at breakfast, and Maud was so struck by the coincidence that she in- sisted on my coming to you at once. Bear in mind Bligh’s telegram, and read that.” Mr. Trevanen pointed out to Jack a short par- agraph, and handed the newspaper to him. The item of news referred to was a telegram from @ Lioyd’s agent, confirming a report which had appeared in the pide bs day’s issue concerning the loss, with all hands, of an outward-bound passenger steamer, the Good Samaritan, on the voyage from Liverpool to Canada. No details were given, but a list of the passengers and crew ofthe ill-fated vessel was appended, and oor the former appeared the names of Mr. and Mrs. “Howard,” said Mr. Spicer and two children. “It ls my poor uncle and his family, without doubt,” exclaimed Jack, turning pale. “Then allow me to Ct lsc a my dear Trevanen, darting 1orward adoption?” asked the visitor. “Yes. I have gists of that child. Its mother isa mere girl. She used to come here to see it, but I understand the truth has been suspected at her home, and she would not dare come again. Of course, if anybody adopts the child she will not know where it joes. It’s a great worry caring for these children. I had nine here a while ago. Three died during the hot spell. I board them and care for them. Sometimes the father pays a regular sum for it and sometimes the mother. Occasionally they stop payment, and I must get payment for thelr board from the people who adopt them.” “You see that little fellow?” the woman went on, pointing toa child which could just walk. “That child couldn't be had for any money. His father pays his board, and expects to marry soon and adopt the child himself. Why, I've had childless mothers, whose husbands were taken out of town for long periods on business, adopt children and deceive their husbands with them. I knew of a husband who discovered the deception, and it wasa great blow to him, but he was kind-hearted, and forgave the wife.’ A middle-aged woman entered the room, and announced that the widwife was indisposed and dared not venture Into the rain. She would see the gentleman the next day. “T cannot see her to-morrow,” “said the visi- tor. “I have time now to call at her rooms, if they are near.” The messenger went out again, and soon returned, accompanied by the midwife. “I would not dare,” sald the latter, ‘to have people call at myrooms on this business. Neither the people who leave the children nor the peo- pe who take them areable to finde afterward. it wouldn't do, you:know, and it would not do for them to meet one another either. This baby comes of splendid stock. I can’t tell you much more about them, but I can refer you to a ph: cian,” and she she gave a physician's uame and address. ‘“‘What are your terms?” “You can pay me a small sum of money, what- ever you please, and take the child. I am satis- fied that you are a respectable gentleman, and that’s allI want to know about you. I shall know nothing about the child after it leaves me, and of course nobody else will.” “Your wife will be pleased with it.” sa of the women, “for it looks very much like you. “Yes,” said the others, ‘It has your eyes ex- —————— The Lights of Home.

A severe outbreak of typhoid fever, which occurred last year at Nahant, a rocky peninsula near Boston, inhabited during the summer by a followed by an investigation of which the re- sults are made public in an article by Mr. E. W. Bowditch in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. In such cases contamination of drink- ing water is usually the principal cause of the spread of the disease, and the wells and cisterns which supply the houses was first examined. Water was taken from one hundred and ninety of these and analyzed. Eight of the samples were pronounced “excellent.” and seventy-one others “permissible,” or “good.” One hundred and eleven were classed as “suspicious,” “very susplcious,” or “bad.” About eighty cases of fever occurred, nearly all of which could be ac- counted for by the actual condition of the drink- ing-water used in the houses inhabited by the patients. In a few others the filthy surround- ings furnished a probable source of infection, although the water appeared pure, as in one instance, where analysis failed to detect any se- rious pollution in water taken from a well situ- ated within ten feet of one leaching cess-pool and fifteen feet of another, both overflowing and of course ready to furnish an occasional supply to the well during dry seasons or under other circumstances. One or two more were propanly explained by the fact that the ice used in the household was brought from a foul pond in the vicinity, and only one seemed quite inex- pecs. unless perhaps the infection might ave been brought by milk contained in cans which had been rinsed tn foul water. Mr. Bow- ditch’s suspicion that the infection was commu- nicated in certain cases by contaminated ice is strengthened by the fact that a very severe and fatal epidemic of typhoid fever was unquestion- ably caused in this way not long ago at a sea- shore hotel in New ‘England, and it is worth asking whether the public authority might not be cuployed with advant in exercising some sort of surveillance over the collection and sale ofan article which may become, and perha and grasping his hand effusively. “I do not, of courre, refer to the melancholy event, but to Your altered prospects.
