THE LAST TEN THOUSAND. PART L ‘On & wet, gloomy afternoon tn the April of 187— ‘Mr. James Heath sat in a house in Adam street, | Strand, and in the curtously-turnished apartment | ‘which he called his oMice. The very airty window | Curtains of the room were of the richest silk. The Turkey carpet was covered with dust and | Uttered with bundies of old law papers and news- | Papers, besides letters and other documents, Which, Baving been tora up, had evidently lain on the floor untouched for weeks or months, On the Walls of tae room were hung a number of Yaluabie of! paintings, water colors, and engrav- ings Madcnoas and Holy Families of the earty Spanish and Itallan schools, pets of the Dallet and the prize ring, Dutch boors, land. ‘scapes, portraits and ractog scenes—mingied as they were without the least regard to style or Subject, the general effect was altogether novel and surprising. About the chamber were a num- Der of chairs and couches, mostly of antique pat- terns, but all of them made of the most costly materials and covered, like the carpet, with dust. In the corners of the ‘room were piles of well- Dound volumes, and two massive sideboards—one Of oak, the other of ebony—were piled with mis- cellaneous heaps of books, glasses and silver Plate. Everything about the chamber, tn short, ‘Was dirty, costly and incongruous, Finally, muffled up in a thick overcoat, and with Ris back to the fireplace, im which there was no fire, sat Mr. Heath. He was a ratuer stout man, of | about sixty, with keen, gray eyes, white hair, and | & very rubicund compiéxion. On the tabie before | him Stood among a ‘number of papers a bottle of Drandy and a tumbler, and he was engaged in read- ing along setter, which was written in @ rather spfawting, boyish hand, “Dear sir,” the letter ran, “I must have £500 by Monday, aud 1 want at least £500 besides. This, | resent, will make £4,000. | n of the £1,000 which I | o advance to assign ‘to you the | ‘Whole of my life interest in the £15,000 3 per cent | consols, together with the whole interest under the policy of assurance for the £3,000. The pre- mutums on the policy only amount to £200 per an- num, so that the £450 odd which accrues from the consbls will leave a balance of about 250 per cent interest on the £4,000 until the policy falls in. “In other Words, for £4,000 you get an absolute rever- sion in £10,000, together with £250 a year uatlt the reversion is realized. I am aware that I could do better than this, but I want the money at once and am ready to submit to tue sacrifice for lmme- diate payment. I snail call on you to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, when I hope you will let me bave a check. Yours, faithfully, Howgxt Oswatp.” Mr. Heath read the letter very carefully through two or three times, after which he laid it on the table and poured out nearly half a tumbler of brandy. Having mixed this with a very little wa- Yer, he drank it off and leaned back in bis chair, while be indulged in a soltioquy which be mut= Yered half aloud “Yes,” a6 said, “the terms are good enough.

The widow of a Scotchman, who made a fortufe in America, they came back to England about five years since to re into society and ‘put young hopeful turvug Sxtord, ‘The father died three years ago, and the mother bas been leading a rather retired life since, so they say. But, nonsense, what has all tis to do with me? Young Mr. Oswald, who has got him- self into consumption through dissipation, 1s prac- Ucally offering me £10,000 for a further ‘advance of £1,000. Even if I had to walt a few years 1Us ood enough. But he hash’t twelve months’ life in fim. “Three months more, at the rate he 1s going At present, ought to finish him. And then?” ‘Mr. Heath poured some more brandy into bis tumbler. Having drunk it, he continued almost ‘aloud, and in an excited manner: “Then I have made the £100,000 which it has ‘deen the ambition of my life to be worth. This is ‘he last ten thousand. ‘With this I shall be worth almost exactly one hundred and two thousand pounds in Bard cash, besides the good-will of this cursed business, and’ all the d—d things, which I Shall dispose of at once. Why, I ought to have hearly one hundred and ten thousand pounds; but never mind, once I have a hundred thousand Pounds in hard cash, I shall give up. ‘To that I ave made up my mind. And then? Well, I Shai go on the Continent for a time. I'd 'be pretty well forgotten in the vourse of two or three Years, and my pame ts notin particularly good ‘Odor “just now—hasn’t been for years past.

Halt the peers in England would go crazy if they only knew what their servants are saying about them. Fools, we're all, more or less, tarred with the same brusu, thinking vermin as we are,if this new theory of evolution, or whatever it’s called be true. No, if I once get foot into a good club, they could not get it out again, if I can only afford to act respect. ably. Let them whisper What they like behind my Deck, all that I have to deal with is what is said or done before my face, and the hounds would be silent, for they can prove nothing.

Ionly heard of it within the last hour, | and I came on at once to tell you.” For a moment there was silence, during which the little man stood twirling bis Nat tn his hands, At last Heath sald: “Are you quite certain of mist” “Quite certain, sir," was the answer, “Ihave ft from the servant in the house. I had been ex- pecting the news ail day, and directly Mrs Wil- Inot toid me I thought 1@taake assurance doubly sure by seeing the servant myself, As I told you, I knew her before she went to live in St. Paul’s road. I told you how I beard from Mrs, Wilmot everything that went on tn the house.” “Well, Weil, that Will do. Here is ‘a sovereign for your trouble in coming here, Look into my o- fice next week and I suall pay you what we have arranged, When Ihave the formal proofs of bis death. Good-night.” “Good-night, sir; thank you,” said Batley, as he lett the room. Bailey was a nondescript character who was oc- casionally empioyed by Heath, sometimes as a broker, sometimes as a private Wetective, In the present instance, by virtue of bis having some rel- atives living in St, Paul's road, he had been en- gaged to bring Mr. Heath the earliest intelligence Of Robert Oswald's death, When he had gone Heath walked up and down the room for some min- Utes in silence. “At length he muttered to himse “One hundred and two thousand pounds in hard cash, made at last! I shall sell everything 1 own Within @ fortuight’s time—furniture, bills, plet- ures, all. ‘They ‘will fetch another six thousand. Dut, Whatever they bring, they shall be sold at once.

YetT seem to be sorry instead of glad, and there ts that fear of some Impending evil which I seemed to havecvery tme I saw him. What on earth can his bet” ‘The last question wagcaused by a sharp knock and ring at the hail door. In a few seconds the servant came in with & ram. Mr. Heath locked at the envelope nervousiy before he opened it. As last he took out tue telegram, which ne read two or three times over, as if he doubted the evidence of his eyesight. ‘Then he put the tele- grain In his pocket, wittspering to himself in a trembling voice as ie did so. “What can it be? What can tt ber” The telegram waich evidently caused him 80 Much uneasiness Was as follows: “Mrs, Oswald. ‘To James Heath, Esq., St. Paul's Koad, Stanhope ‘Terrate, ge Gamden Town, Notting feat importance that I should see you jobert Uswald died at 5 o'clock this Please come here at once on receiving ram.” “Could it be some conspiracy to get me into the house and murder me?” tuought Mr. Heath, as he Walked about the room, with ‘the telegram in is pocket, “On, nonsense! I need not be afraid of that. ‘They ‘are very respectable people in the house. No, depend upon it, it ts either that the mother Wants to beg or borrow from me, or that there 1s Some screw loose about the polity of as- Surance, Curse it! Like my usual luck. But I had better be off there at once, What a curious authoritative way she telegraphs in, though.” He left the house, and, hailing the first -hansom he met, Was driven rapidly to St. Paul’s road. A Servant opened the hall door before he could knock, and, having asked if he was Mr. Heath, con- ducted “huh up stairs to the drawing-room. ‘Though it Was just 9:300’clock, and getting rather dark, no lamp or candie was liguted in te room, and ‘as Mr. Heath entered he could just aiscern through the deep twilight the figure of a tall Woman Who Was sitting by one of the windows dressed in black. She rose as he entered and asked him to take a chair which was a few yards from where she Was situng. Frou the position in which she sat, and the darkness of the room, Mr. Heath could not discern her features very clearly, and to tell the truth ne felt exceedingly un: comfortable. He Was pretty well. case- hardened of course; few men had had more curious experiences, ‘and some of the scenes he had witnessed in tle pursuit of his vocation were hot a litle appalling. “But Just as one of the frst things that is taught to every medical student 1s that he must disregard the pain which he bas to inflict on his patients, so, from the very outset of his career, Mr. Heat had trained himself to be perfectly Callous about the feelings and interest of the people wita wuom he was brought in contact. SUI, all the teaching in the world cannot make a surgeon insensible to pala which 1s inflicted on Iuumeelf, and it was Just Decause he was approhen- sive that some calainity was about to fall upon him that Mr. Heath felt on the present occasion & Sense of fear wuich almost amounted to terror. “You have been prompt in responding to my telegram,” said the lady ina hard, deflant voice. TM son, 'as J told you, Is dead. You have stripped hun of his little property. You make £10,000 by his death. I have lately lost nearly all that I was worth, I have spent pretty nearly the rest in nursing him through wis last illness, I want twenty pounds in ready money to pay his funeral expenses. You are the proper person to give it to me. Do you refuse?” I dare say that Mr. Heath would gladly have twenty pounds or more for tue reilet he expert- enced when he heard this speech. So it was only a begging appeal after all, “Thank heavens!” he muttered Co himsetf, and for the first time since he heard of Robert Oswald's death he felt really easy in his mind. “My good madam,” he said, in his usual tone of gruff determination, “your son sought me volun- tarily. He had ample Value for what be sold me. Thave nothing more to say on the matter, and I ust wish you good-night.” “But I have something more to say to you,” sald the lady, who rose from her chair at the’ same {me that he did. “Had you giveu me the twenty pounds I would have been content to let you go in peace. As it 1s you must hear why you are the proper person to pay for the funeral of my son. Come here; I have something to tell you which you wiil remember to tne last day of your life. ‘She threw open the folding doors that separated the drawing-room (rom a room Which was bril- Hanuy lighted with candles. On a bed lay the body of Robert Oswala. His mother went round and stood at the far side of the bed, facing Heath, who advanced a litle way toto the inner room as if he were drawn by aspell. “Now, sir,” she exclaimed, “do you recognize me?” can't say 1 do, madam,” said Heath, wnose eyes were fixed on the face of the corpse, and Who hardly looked at her. “Twenty-two Years make a difference, no doubt,” she said as sue removed a scart which was to-night.

It will be @total eclipse of the sun, and ‘will be visible in Washington as a partial eclipse. ‘THE AUGUST METEORS, ‘The August nights from the 8th to the 12th will be enlivened by the display of meteors which are sure to descend through the atmosphere in greater or less numbers. The meteors, as 1s well known, come from the great meteor zone whose perihelion ig on the earth's orbit, and whose aphelion ex- nds beyond the bounds of Neptune, the most dis- tant piauet in the solar system. ‘The earth, about the 10th,plunges through the zone, the meteors are set of fire by the concussion of tne earch’s at- mosphere and descend in the form of shooting Stara. The radiant point of the August meteors is in the constellation Perseus, and they are there- fore called Persids. Perseus rises on the 10th in the northeast about 9 o'clock, and observors who watch the sky in that direction will be rewarded by the sight of several hundred meteors as the hours of the night pass on. Many of them will be brilliant and as large as stars of the first magni- tude, and many of them will leave trails of luml- nous vapor lasting several seconds, The Care of Clothes, HINTS FOR MAKING THRM LOOK WELL AND WEAR Lona, From Woman, Clothes which are well cared for will last twice along as those carelessly treated, and with a Uberal expenditure of time and a ttle display of taste can be remodelled and made to do duty for a long time. Eternal vigilance 1s the price of suc- cess for poor people in dressing well, andit should be exercised, as nothing pays better. Garments can be injured as much by careless handling when not worn as when in use. Dapsses Uhrown across a chair or hung in acrowded Wardrobe under other heavy articles will be creased and Injured. Laces, gloves, and ribvons tossed into a drawer with Other articles will not appear fresh and neat when worn, Iv18 an excellent rule to carefully put aw: S¥ery article of apparel as soon as taken off; Dresses suould be shaken and well brushed, and if nandsomely and elaborately trimmed, suiouid be folded, every fold and plait in place, carefully pinned up ina large towel, and laid ina drawer; Unis is very important in order to keep dresses in shape, or, if preferred to hang them up, lou should be ‘sewed on the back of the shouider, by which tuey may hang, Cloaks, after being’ brushed, may be laldina loug drawer, or hung up by a loop tn the back of the neck. | Shawis should be saretully. coided in the original creases, wray in a paper or a square’ cloth, before laying away in'a?drawer- Gioves suould be pulled out lengthwise, folded 1n thin paper and iaid ina smail box kept for the Purpose; laces should be smoothed out and placed Where they will keep clean and fresh. Veils, mibvons, sashes, silk handkerchiefs and slik stock- ings will keep {a good condition much longer it folded in proper shape and laid under a welgut. Shoes, if tirown around in the dust, will uot iast as long or look as well as when stretched out of the wrinkles, well brushed, and put carefully away. Bonnets and hats are more easly spolled by wantof care tan almost any article of dress, ‘They should not, therefore, be allowed to lie about on tabies or ta dusty places unprotected, but as soon as taken from the head should be bru: the Urlinmings and feathers straiguvened, and I tn boxes. Every lady’s room should be furnished with a clothes brush, a wisp broom, a hand brush, a Sponge, a bottie of ammonia, a vial each of alcohol aud benzine, also some cleaning fluid or erasive soap, to aid ler in keeping her Wardrobe in order. Another very necessary item in the care of clothes ig mending and repairing every article anit may need it, ‘The time spent 1s 80 doing 1s well be- wed, for, besides the pleasure it gives to always appear in wiole, respectable garments, the clothes Will last twice as long. Every rip and rent in dresses, skirts, or underclothes should receive at- Venton as soon as it occurs. ‘The old-time adage, “A stitch in Lime saves nine,” is well toremember. Gloves should be mended as soon as a rip appears in the fingers, and, if thin and worn in the Land, ‘may be neatly darned or mended with a plecd love of te same color, a eee Rules for Using Books, ‘The following embrace the substance of rules for the care and handling of books, which are now quite extensively used, especially for circu- lating Ubrartes: Never touch a book with damp or sotled hands, Never pull a book trom a shelf by the binding at the top, but by the back.
