In Hard Straits.

' NIXE o'clock, sof, an' *ho hot wather, an' is it the rest of the bacon ye'd be hovin' for breakfast.' ' Will it not be too much, Bridget t ' .'orra a bit sor.' j 'Very well.' And with a half groaD, I, Basil Hathaway, ] spran" out of bed, and proceeded to array myself in unexceptional costume-trousers, vest aad frockcoat My only ones, alas an sccoroaiodatine; relative some twenty doors off had tnken charge of shabbier garments, one by oi>£, kindly advancing sflndry moneys thereon. j. ~ '~ Three of us were in the saute plight—old school draws and old chums, uo# thrown to nether in manhood by the caprice of Fame Fortune ; and fighting shoulder to shoulder the battle of life in the great city. As I dressed one of the trio, Hal Trevor, came bounding by three at a time up the worm-eaten stairs. He was fresh from the morning lecture at the no?prtal, and hungry as ? hunter, 1 thought with a thudder. 1 heard his cheerful greeting of J;»ck Hornsey f hard at work since daylight on " Coke on I Littleton." ■ ' \Tell old bookworm, ready for breakfast? I Where is the captain f ' The captai 1!' How the old Utl c bestowed still in honor of my three years seniority, set me dreaming. 1 was roused by the dull thuds of a poker hammering vio lently at tbe intervening wall. ' All right!' I touted. ' Kiog for the bacon.' . . , In 'a minute we were gazing witn rueiui looks at the breakfast arrangement. A I loaf of stale bread, a piece of butter the size !of a walnut, and tiny rashers, that either I could have put out of sight with ease. 'Is that all Bridget r 4 . 1 Every line of the girl's honest Irish face | was eloquent with sympathy. 1 Not a bit more, sor.' Hal laughed, ' Turn out your pocket?, lads. There is my'lsstccriu ' "And he produced aa exceedingly shiny sixpence. Jack, after much rummaging, showed a quantity of fluff and a brace button. I had threepence halfpenny in coppers* Odd man out for the bacon,' quoth Hal. ~ _ 'No ; divide it between you, said I. A man has been rash enough to invite me to diuner. Ilaud over the loaf.' Jack gave me one keen glance. I think he suspected the piou3 falsehood, _ Hal bless the boy ! —was quite unconscious, as happy as though we had not a care. The frugal meal had just been disposed of, when we heard a great puffing and blowing on the :hird floor. That had but one possible meaning—a creditor. ' Whose turn ?' asked Jack, laconically. It was an ancient arrangement now that on the advent of a dun only one of us should receive him, the others being in the city— that is, in the adjacent bedroom. ' Your own,' cried Hal, as we decamped, leaving the door ajar to watch the course of events. ' I wish you joy, Jack } it is old Blunderson, snorting like a grampus, as usuaL Uld Blunderson was a general provision merchant, who had let himself be beguiled into supplying sundry miscellaneous goods until his Hills really frightened me. He was the exception that proved that old rule, ' Laugh and grow fat;' as crusty illcon dition wretch as ever read one particular portion of the Lord's Prayer backward. - modern Falstaff, minus the wit, he always ascended slowly resting on each stair. We were sate for about five minutes. Jack employed them in preparing for hi> reception, and we watched proceedings with amused curiosity. The first was to produce a huge tobacco pouch, taking from it about half an ounce of tobacco. From this he filled a long clay pipe—Jack's meerschaum had preceded our clothes to the pawnbroker's—depositing the remainder carefully on the table. ' An alarming sacrifice I' murmured Jack, =''-king his head over it with a regretful dgh- The next was to grasp the fire shoTel and tongs. • Weapons of offence,' whispered Harry. ' He meditates assault and battery—' He stopped abruptly in sheer amazement. Jack was deliberately removing live coals trom the fire to the shovel, and upon these he swept his cherished tobacco. Then he placed the shovel upon the bottom ledges oi of two chairs at the further corner of the room, threw himself into one nearest the fire, and complacently lighted his long clay. Of course the room filled fast witii smoke and most pungent odour, ' Old Blunderson hates tobacco as a certaiD personage hates holy water !' grinnerl Hal. ' Bad policy, though to irritate him,1 "rumbled I. By this time our enemy was in the door way, gasping for breath, aud shaking a great hairy list at Jack by way of filling the inter val till speech returned. 1 You abandoned young profligate !' Jack removed his pipe, nodded, and quietly resumed it ' Where—are—the—other-scamps V ' One gone for the doctor; the other—' and a jerk of the speaker's thumb toward the door behind which we stood completed the sentence. Old Blundersou made two unwieldly steps toward us. ' Better nof.' said Jack. 'Eh ?' 'Typhoid fever—bad case—contagious,' fibbed Jack between his puifs. We saw old Bluudcrson's face turn a ghastly green with fear. Still he looked iucredulous ;we bad played so many tricks before. ' Gammon I' he gasped at lengtb. Jack rose slowly, walked to the corner, and produced his shovel. ' Fumigating the room,' said he. ' Better have a pipe.' And old Blundctbon fairly turned and fled with such celerity that he gained the nexl floor in seconds instead of minntes. We were laughing over his discomfiture, when Bridget's head appeared at the door. ' I thought I'd tell ye, gintleman, the mistress is justcomin.' The saint purtect ye, for she has been rampagin' like a heay then all this blessed mornin' !' Our faces fell. Mrs Callaghan, oui worthy landlady, was not a foe to be so readily dislodged, and her powers of invec tive were simply unrivalled. Hal was tht only one who could soothe her, and he came to the rescue. • My turn,' he said, with a lcok of comic disgust. ' You fellows get into my room anc clear out of the house as soon as she h seated.' This we did, seeing Hal hand a chair (as w< glided by) with the deepest of mock rever ences, and an expression ot extreme devo turn on his handsome features. ' Making violent love to the old beast !' as he would have elegantly expressed it. • » • • • It was the evening of the same day — adul' November evening, much in barmouy witt my thoughts, as I leaned against the door post ot our house, and recalled the gjod old times when life was a merry faice tor us all. I hail no heart to work. Al[ that dny ] had hawked my manuscripts from one pub lisher to another, vainly hoping to get a ioar upou them. My thicepeuce halfpeuny had been carefully Invested at a dirty cook-s-hop and I was glad to think there must have bceTi just enough cold meat to satisfy tb< boys at dinner and tea. Presently I would so in aud hunt for anj fragments that remained, for I was desper ately hungry. Through the fog came the slender female figure disguised m a waterproof. She did not notice me until quite abreast, when the light fell upou her race. Then as she gave one frightened glance, I saw two things — how pale and beautiful it was, and what a depth of misery lay in the startled eyes. It was a low neighbourhood in which we lived, though separated by but a long allej from a fashionable West End street—a dan gerous locality tor a young girl at that hour. I crossed the road in order to accompany hei unobserved, and had hardly done so ere I saw her brought up by some man, looming unsteadily in the mist. ' Come here niy pretty dear I' said he She gave a faint scream and tried to slip by him, but the drunken wretch caught hei by the loose waterproof. In another second he measured his length on the pavement ; but, strange to say, she sank down almost insensible droppiug something that looked like a jewel case. My prostrate friend was relieving his feelings by a round volley of obscene abuse. Not daring to await the arrival of a policeman, I caught up his vic tim and her case, and made a hasty retreat. At the foot of the dilapidated stairs I hesi tated. Should 1 carry my fair burden into Mis Callaghan's little parlour ? The sight of Bridget iv fuil ilight, pursued by shrill in vective decided the point. ' Bridget,' said I, this lady has fainted. ' Come and help me.' ' Ah, sure, sor ! Poor dear !' _Wo carried! the stranger to the common sitting-room, and essayed to bring her round. Presently she opened her eyes, and began to speak incoherently. ' Delirious !' sold I. It was a great relief to hear Hal's springing step. He gave a low whistle of astonishment as he entered, and felt the patients puke, while I gave a brief explanation. ' Feverish—very. She must be put to bed at once. Where does she live ? ' I have not an idea. Search her pockets.' But the search was fruitless. ' Call ii cub, and I will take her to the Jmkiii^^^ii|r>jgctml^ u^j^^^^^^^^^^^^
