There was no small amount of wonder-
ment alive in the village when it was ru-
mored about that Bob Hunter was at work
tor Mr. Ilaynes. And when, weeks after,
he erept shyly in amongst his fellow-men,
well clad and sober, avoiding steadily tho
places where his ruin had well nigh been
wrought, some said that a great miracle
had been wrought. That God, himself,
must have spoken to Bob Hunter, or he
would not have so changed from darkness
to light.

Ah, a mirucle, indeed, it was, wrought
by the dear merciful hand of the one good
Fath vr! His spirit breathed trom the lips
of a little child byought about the reforma-
tion that none had ever hoped to see, And
so people wondered, forgetting that, if they
kept their hearts fresh and sweet in love
and truth, ‘as little children,” they, too,
could works out more perfectly, the ways
of God!

And so litle Elsie worked on, and Bob.
Hunter looked upon her as he would haye
looked upon an angel, blessing her more
and more as day by day he grew stronger

‘You look sick, just as papa did when

He did not say no this time, but stared
half-blankly at the child. Perhaps the
faintest shadow of a memory fell across
his darkened heart. Perhaps, when a boy,
he had drank water from atin cup at a

his poor clothing damp with dew, his poor
head resting upon the ground. Indeed, so
long had he been an outcast—so long lost,
that it was no wonder to those who had
known him from his childhood even, to see
him thus; not a tongue, howsoever accus
tomed to serve its owner inthe great cause
of humanity, that would say, either in pure
pity ox tenderness, Bob Hunter was drank
by the roadsids this morning !”
It would have been quite us well to have
afirmed Mount Monadnock was west ot

one could see the spear-like pines pricke?
the blue ‘True, some would venture
that he a disgrace to the village; and
others, forgetting that God is on earth as
well as in heaven, would say that he would
be better off dead; that he was of no use
in the world; that he was but a brate, and
tho last spark of truth and manhood had
died out trom bis soul. Alas, for them,
that having light, they were so in dark-
ness—and alas for him, that a hellish pas:
sion came between him and his God; be
tween him and his fellow: ereatures, and
then turned upon his own foolish heart.
But Thave to tellot this bright. cheery
morning that Bob Hunter slept by the 10 ul
side. It n pitiable sight indeed—a
wretched picture that he mide, the fallen
man, lying there—his torn hat by his side,
his ragged clothes wet with dew, his pale,
trembling hands clasped over his breast
and his head pillowed upon the gras
neara neighboring garden, that a stray
rose, glistening as with tears, looked down
upon hin from the low fence where it had
crept to blossom. Poor man, if he could
only have taken the lesson that the dewy
flowey taught into his soddened heart!
At last. when the bold sunlight shone
fully in his face, he started up and drew
his hand across his dim and bloodshot eyes.
He thought, he was quite sure, that he had
heard a step elose beside him, aud the sud-
den iear quickened his movements. He
had, half asleep and dranked as he was, a
faint rememberance of what had happened
to bim duriug bis sleeping hours in time
past—of stones coming hard and thick up-
on him, like huge hailstanes, arousing hin
from his slumbers, and of icy water that
had been thrown over him by some thrtity-
handed housewife, when he had ventured
too near her premises for a nap.
But now, neither sudden shower nor
stone answered the look of inquiry that he
east about him, Everything was still, only
the birds sang in the trees, and a little
brook gurgled along trom the opposite side
of the road; he could hear nothing beside,
yet he grasped his torn hat, and half-stag-
vering to histeet, looked searchingly about
him, Just then, a litthe p and white
fave, as fair as the rose beside it, appeared
above the garden fence, anda pair of won-
dering bluo eyes glanced questioningly
over the half-recumbent figure of tne man,
“Wht dye want,” growled out Bob
Hunter turning his face away from the
steady gaze of the child, which somehow
sobered, as well as annoyed him.
“Are you'sick, Mr. ?” she asked, without
heeding his question.

ing her little dimpled hands over her face

crouched there before the child, he saw

“Sick! O yos, ha!—I'm sick or drunk,”
“Drunk !" she repeated alter him, clasp.

He had his face down in his hands while
he spoke. Out from the world as he was,
he was no stranger to its ervel rebufls, In

this, would the little creature still cling to
him? Sho answered him sottly; still
clasping her hands in his. Did all heayen
listen to her?

“T want to be yours because you haven't
anybody to love you”

‘But I am wicked, and don't deserve
anybody's love.”
