I emerged from the fields, Ej«.ing over a fence into the jS»ttM_, faced townward. SJjPa clust ibere was ! Yonder .pitftout-ifi-band, tooled by the 3JM, starters,' spanked along mH buggy of a leading book- his trotter in the shafts, jToy.a minute afterward. Han- Cpiifitihg cars, ''lor and afters' Ife* Wh &c, mixed up SJ. equipages of a less pre- I"W order; ip w ft furniture vans, butchers' carts, all &•*!* their living frights. A Btett.-a 'wpraen'g scream rose C fe Ac din of traffic.

and, with the blocked up state of the roads ahead, a smash seemed inevit able. I don't exactly know how I managed it. I never set up for a hero, and always prefer keeping clear of danger of all kinds if possible. Pro bably the thing was forced on me; and what I did was partly to save myself from being run over. Anyhow, the plain truth is that,, as the frightened mare reached me, I managed by a desperate effort to catch her with both hands by the head/by Which, of course, I mean the rein, close up to the bit. And then, for a few seconds after ward, things seemed very mixed indeed. I felt myself flung backward, then dragged along the road,, now up, now down, clinging the while desperately to the mate, though the' effort seemed to be dislocating my very shoulders. Twice she had struck me with her fore feet when rearing and plunging, in her efforts to free herself; and the blood, streaming from a cut in my forehead, and mingling with the dust of the road, at once nearly choked me. But other help was at hand. A sturdy coster monger leaped from his cart. ' Stick to her, lad!' he shouted ; and in a few seconds more we had, between us steadied the frantic animal.

The occupants of the phaeton, pale with terror, now dismounted ; the mare was taken out of the shaft, and the vehicle was drawn to the side of the road, the owner expressing himself very decidedly against driving the spirited animal any farther.

1 1 hope you are not much hurt, sir ? I was sitting, feeling father dazed, on the bank at the roadside, wiping the blood and dust from my. countenance, and glanced tip at the speaker. Heav ens, what a charming face? Surely she was never on the lawn that day, or I must have noticed her, all my worries about bets notwithstanding. I never was any good at d<-_cnbing women. I am certain it would be of no use to try now I only know that the most glor. ious'pair of sparkling dark eyes I ever saw in my life, before or since, brimful of gentle sympathy, and surmounting features entirely worthy of them, were easing down at me. I made some con fined reply, conveying assurance of be- Snjured; and just at that moment observing a cabman whom I knew pass ___ empty, on his return from town Ac course, I hailed and stopped Em In a few minutes I had arranged 25.this worthy to temporarily ex- SffiPtfSS with the middle-aged cnangc . h 0 was on exper ________Wi hansom and har __i'4 Ws °™ steady cob to the f "™Here!.y man, take this to your b .Iwas the gentleman Who spoke this • Snitin. the action to the word .* ,2 Sly toward me, with a he came WWS• . beckoning .overeigninhisopen^p a_Ke B ame,t.me -to^tn ,0 , $$____•»_!_-». ly did.

glorious eyes pulled the donor's arm back and entreated me to ' forgive the mistake.'.

And, after all, there was little to won der at in his error; for what with one thing and another, dust, blood, torn clothes and battered hat, I was just then about as seedy a looking vagabond as any on that crowded road. The uncle apologised, handed me his card, asking for mine in return (which I gave him) and begged me to call at his residehde," an invitaribn £ I prpmptly agreed torappept. Then, haying seen his party safely, ensconed in their vehicle, and fairly started homeward (an eloquent look of gratitude accom panying the bow of farewell from the girl with the dark eyes). I took the vacant seat in the hansom behind the now quiet black mare, and was-soon set down at 'The Albion ;' Oliver, the cabman, proceeding on to Toorak, to the home of the mare's owner, to effect a re-exchange of steeds.

Chapter 11. Sunday morning, and three days later. A lovely day it was, the air redolent with the breath of spring flowers, even in that very Unromantic suburb Emerald HilL I sat by the open window; my head aching dis mally ; and my brain racked with worry. The Sabbath calm without, the beauty of the spring morning seemed but a mockery and aggravation of my trouble? for I could not appreciate them. What was the matter ? Only, alas ! a ; too common story.

I was at the time I speak of resident manager, at a very youthful age, too, for such a position of a branch of the Bank of— ■, situated in the suburb of Melbourne above-mentioned. I had always, I believe, been considered 1 steady.' That is to say, I never drank to excess, never frequented billiard tables, rarely theatres* and up to within three months' of the date of the Cup had never known what it was lo gamble hi any shape. It had chanced un fortunately for me that, during the month of August in that year, a youngster warf sent to assist me from the head-office whom I shall call Gr-gbry. and with whom I, most un luckily, became very intimate. He was a frank, winning, most vivacious boy, brimful of life and spirits, a splendid cricketer, good sculler, the winner of seveial cups at athletic sports meetings, and a favourite, moreover, with every body in the head-offi_e, frdnv me general manager downward.

Ah 1 those cricket arid rowing clubs. I fear they have much, to answer for 1 No doubt they are capital institutions, and very beneficial and. necessary in matty ways. But, oh! if .only their' votaries would confine themselves to cricket and rowing, and not think it needful to spend so many evenings of every month in the year, after 'club business 'is over, in visiting billiard £nd. betting fj?g_-is. the b.bents would be far more real. My young assistant had, unluckily for himself, •, because imbued at an early age with > Ipve <?f horse-racing; that is to say, betting on ).aces, and, to make matters wbrse. had been very lucky. This may seem an anomaly.-' ! ' : —-

I think, however, most nien of experience in such matters will agree with me that had the lad met with severe reverses ia his earliear bets the chances are that he might have been disgusted, and altogether and for ever abandoned the vice. But it had been otherwise a Cup horse of the previous year, I think Toryboy, had landed him a winner in a large sum for a youngster; and that was his ruin.

But to recur to myself. Before Gregory had been a month under me at Emerald Hill, he had, strange to say, infected me tp sopae extent with his love of betting. He had his Cup book, straightout and double and treble event bets with a variety of .bookmakers; and he introduced me to several of the fraternity. I had begun very, cautiously. I confined myself at first to moderate wagers, such as, if all lost, would not seriously inconvenience me. But as the all exciting Cup day approached, and night after night saw me at Tatter sail's, I had begun to lose my head a bit; and getting into society into the society of a party who were sweet on Exile, I plunged heavily on that quad ruped.

And was settling day. That was my trouble. For since the Thursday previous and the little ad venture with the runaway mare, I had, so to speak, run amuck. On Friday I was, of course, confined to the bank. But the instant 12 o'clock came on the day after, and I (iould get away, I was off to Flemington, determined to, if possible, retrieve my reverses.- Of course I only plunged deeper into the mire. It was all the same whatever I tried. The Steeplechase, the Queeh's Piate, the Spring ..-handicap, .all fell to other 'pick.' than mine; and I had found myself back in town that Saturday evening loser of a still greater amount than on Cup day. Angry and desperate, I sank still deeper, I got ambng a party of 'spprtsmeh' who knew hie to be. a backer, and probable good mark; and we sat playing unlimited lpo until. 4 in the morning. Tnen at last, sick in mind and body, and Utterly ash-iriied and disgusted at my conduct, I crawled home. !

And now, how was I, to meet my liabilities ? I had hitherto rigidly abstained from tampering, to the value of a penny even, with the funds under my charge; and I kept my own small account, in accordance with our rules, at another bank. But this account was already reduced to a mere nominal credit balance; and, had I not, during my infatuation at cards on that wretched Saturday, riight- and early Sunday morning, given cheques for nearly ;£Bo, which I knew would be dishonored on presentation. : IM addition to this, my betting book showed me that several gentlemen of the ring would be looking for me anxiously throughout that Monday, and expecting to receive altogether bver from mp. Where was it,all to come from? Ivly salary was but ; and bere w_ts a whole pay or nearly so, gone or pledged in advance ! I had no relatives to apply tb, 4t least ttbtie In the colony. Gfegoryj .who by the way

had been recalled to the head office about a week before, was I suspected, in as bad a plight as myself, I had seen him for just an instant, on Cup day, after the big race Was over; and one glance at his face had been enough. There were moneylenders ! Yes, but I could never hope, without security ana unbacked by substantial friends, to borrow such a sum from them. And if I did, the high and accumulative rate of interest charged by these worthies would soon utterly swamp and ruin me. What was to be done ? Head office authorities would almost certainly be. * of my dishonored cheques; and I might possibly be arrested on them. I should probably lose my billet. And' then came the afchfif ijd to tempt me. Could I not 'borrow' the money I wanted from some rich customer of the bank, and that without h.s.sanction? It would be a very simple matter, only it had an ugly name, Forgery ! But it seemed my only hope; and in desperation I resolved to try it. Closing my bedroom window, as if to shut out the Sabbath air, I descended to the rooms below and entered the banking apatt_i.t.t. How strange it all seemed! For the first time in my residence there I entered that room in trepidation ! My very fobsteps oil the matting frightened me. A deathly still ness hung around and I peeped be neath desks and tables, as if half expect ing to see a detective! at length with t.embling fingers, I opened the large safe and proceeded with my devilish business, I felt like a man ill with ague. This would never do. I must have sprpe It. randy, or I should never get thrpugh it. I kept a little always in the house, and in. a few min utes had 'taken a stiff nobbier, s.nd returned to my little bank parlour, now as it seemed, about to be turned into a very den of iniquity. Should I ever feel happy there again? I got a bundle of old paid cheques out to select a signature from. Here was the one. Old , a large buyer of tallow and hides, had always a .considerable current account balance, rarely asked for his passbook, and autograph was simplicity itself. With the aid of a little tracing paper the business was soon effected. ' Pay self or bearer three hundred pounds.'. The signature and whole cheque Idoked so thbrbughly genuine that I am sure John himself Would hiave been staggered at it And now for the cash. But Stay, there was more "to be done. There were the books. I had left the bank too much of a hurry on Saturday (in order to reach the course early) to balance things up before leaving. My forgery must represent a debit ot that day, and appear, of course, in Cash-books and ledger. I got the latter volume but of* the safe, and opened'at the account of my Victim. I took up a pen to' make the entry. Why did I hesitate?' What, at that critical moment, paused my guilty thoughts to wander, afar from the scene -pf my temptation, to the dusty roadside a. Fi.emi._gtQ., to the vision of those gloriously dark and sympathetic eyes ? Again I heard t,he {jieadirig vpfce, ... Of. tis&M&MmmS: see that he's a gentleman ?' The hot flush of sham«i of real shame this time,

burned ; over cheek and brow. •'"' I thpught how, in a fe\y moments, m| contemplated, crime would put me for ever beyond the pkle, would entitle me, morally at all events, even if I escaped dectect ,6n,' to,, rank only among felony and convicts, _/o longer any pretension to ' a gentleman .'._ Only si forger I It shouldn't be. Please God, it shouldn't be! Anything were better than that. I sank, on my knees, in that bjessq . impulse, on the coarse matting - beneath me, with head bdwed over h.y ledger, _nd prayed as I never prayed before, And when I at length arose again, t tore into the smallest atoms the' cheqiie with the counterfeit signature. I balanced my, Saturday's cash in accordance only with rightful payments a and then I closed up the office again, and wqnt out to walk in the bright suniieht. already a better mar..

I had resolved what I .would do. • I would write that night to each of my creditors, make a clean breast of it, and explaiq i»y |jpsifiQi3i'f-illy. X >po Id ask them to meet me on'the Tuesday even ing (Monday would be weekly balanc ing day, and, I should be too and get them to give me time tb pay. ;T-hey were not fools. They would see it was their only chance, and I would sternly screw and pinch until I had paid/

That night I slept well. Ifelt much humbled next morning, and yet, I am sure, infinitely the happier, because I had been enabled to resist temptation. I little thought what was in store. Calling at 9 o'clock at' the post-office for the bank letters. I was told there was a registered one to sign for; but this, being, Of course, almost a daily occur ence, at first caused me no excitement. Two minutes later I was poring over att English letter having a deep black border. It. was from my mother, an nouncing the death of my stepfather her second husband, who had left me ;£6jOoo. And a draft for ;£_ £00 was enclosed. Thank God .for all his Iliercips ~;' ~',.; . ',.';• j '■ ~,,,'..' , ;',;:.

Reader, this little anecdote, an episode in the early life of a since pros perous man; is h early tbid, I could 1 pad ' of course, and spin it out a bit. But is not my space limited ? And of course you can guess the rest ?
