CHAPTER IL.
THE SHABBY-GENTEEL MAN,

Hargrave had walked about a mile
ad, when the Uighgate onni-
g@ behind him—huarness rat-

** Islit

The omnibus stooped for Hargrave.
* Sorry Muster Hargrave, we couldn’t

keep your seat this morning aohow,” said
the driver, touching his hat; ‘* Sporting
friend of mine going up.”

Hargrave said it was bo matter at all,

in a pleasant hearty way, and got inside.
ile was one of those good-nitured, agree-
able men that nothing ruftles.

Ile was
happy, and determined to be pleased.

by a

ious warmth and gayety of summer

life, and earn a competence in a reasons
able time. ‘The usual ayerage of people
got in and out; afat, anxious, hot-fuced
woman, with a bundle tied up in a band-
basket; a sailor boy, farmer, two city
clerks an old maid with wiry ringlets, and
a roll of music, a ruefully poor woman,
a drawing-master, and a baby.

A quarter of a mile belore the Angel, a
tall thin old gentlemen, shabby gentee? in
dress, und remarkable for a quecr brown
spencer (an impoyerishe’ sort of old-
fashioned garment st the best of times),
beneath which d¢ pended two lank. rusty,
black-coat tails, aalied the omnibus by
nuising silently in the air a large faded
tuwovella, and got in.

‘fhe conductor winked, as he approach-
ed, to Hargrave, who sat near the door,

‘Tere comes one of your reg lar old

begging-letter imposter: suid. ** They
always try to do the cleric: ze. Tknow
‘em, Here, come along,” heshouted ; **we
can’t w: it about all day. Look alive, old
genticman, My eyes, wouldn't he do to
t out as a scarecrow? Ths wittles don’t
Ile’d do for the apothe-
' ing—he would.”
The other passengers Inughed, Jokes
against poverty and leanness are always
telling, The fat man enjoyed it; the old
maid, who had just been paid for a quar-
ter, smiled, after her maaner; the farmer,
rejoicing in many beeves, chuckled sel-
fishly. Ifurvard alone looked at the new
arrival with pity rather than ridicule.

Old age is bad enough; but sickly and
impoverished, it is only worthy of all ten-
derness. Youth is the time when we can
best bear the rain and the storm—the loss
of those we love—the cruel grave, opening
for its victim, and closing up on it while
we pray in yain—the disappointment of
friendship, and the g thering of bitter ex-
veriences : {io time to TOA tie taurus Ws
sowed, and drink the gall we have brewed
for ourselves. Age should bask cahuly in
the after-glow of twilight; and, solaced,
cherished, indulged, torgiven, sit with
folded hands, waiting for the inevitable
but silent blow. A disconsolate childless,
sordid old age, racked with sickness, tor-
mented with poyerty, and uncheered by
love, is surely one of the saddest thoughts
in this earth of ours.

So thoanht Hargrave—by no means an
unreflective man—as the new-comer ar-
ranged a treaty of knees with himl and sat
down by the door facing him deprecating-
ly, with his long poddy black gloves on the
top of the yellow ivory knob of his seedy
umbrella, His ight, threadbare trousers
were greasy at the knees and scarcely con-
trived to reach to the y inched drab gaiters
that partly covered the old wrinkled boots.
His hat was of a bygone fashion, and half
covered with course dusty erape. The
very ribqon of his watch was grimmy,and
betrayed poverty. ‘The old gentleman in
the Spencer had a long pale, but Lot un-
pleasant face ; a long, thin, prominent nc
lips, 2 long chin, and scant gr
whiskers; yet the expression was good,
and the eyes had a depth in them that
could not be overlooked. ‘The old gentle-
man in the spercer might be poor, but he
was certainly no beggar; he might be a
low-bill discounter, but he was no man to
be insulted or patronized.

With the kindly tecling with which old
age looks back and sees in bright, vigorous
youth its own past, the shabby-genteel
min eyed Hargrave from time to time,
‘There were, indeed, worse taccs than that
calm, bright one before him, crowned with
laxuriance of wavy brown hair, The large
brown eyes were so manful, anil so frank
and unsuspicious in their expression; the
mouth so firm without sternness ; the whole
bearing of the man so self-reliant,
being contemptuos or insolent, There was
ho guile possible in such aman, Yet the
feeling in seeing him was that he w
aman to be trifled with either, Pres
they began to talk. The old gentleman in
the spencer asked Mr. Hargrave if he was
wv business mau—had partly guessed he
wus, Was there any chance ot the long-
dreaded panic coming? Was it not pretty
nearly suré that some of the old houses
were tottering? Was there any fear of
(say) Bretties, Crevasse and Glashiere &
Ot course it was allup with Shatterton and
Gilberts,

‘Phe old man did not speak like an alarm-
ist; but still he evidently had tears, Ie did
not look like one who felt much interest in
the question, Alas! those rubbed elbows
and those worn knees were not the signs
ofa man who had much to lose. His pale
eyes grew a little more firm, and the pupils
a little darker and larger, as he leaned on
that old companion, the umbrella, and
waited, with one thin hand scooped vp to-
wards his left ear (the omnibus rumbled
so,) tor Hargraye’s answers
Hargrave replied with ess buoyan-
ey (tor he hardly relished being catechised
by w rather doubttul stranger); but the
quiet, unobtrusive manner ot the old man
rather won upon him, and condescended
to answer categorically. He derided all
idea of a panic—rumors spread abroad by
interested persons. He knew ot no old
house that was tottering. It mattered lit-
tle to any but Gilberts aud Shatterton what
became of Shatterton and Gilberts, From
his own experience (here he looked rather
angry, and his brow contracted) —being,
he was proud to say, cashier ot Messrs.
Brettles, Crevasse and Glashier—he could
affirm that never bad that firmly establish-
ed house been more triumphant! prosper-
ous, more certain to ride through the worst
storm that could blow up tor mischief. He
would scarcely be believed if he mention-
ed the amount to which the securities then
in their safes had reached,

The old gentleman looked down, and
pinched a tube of straw under the bulging
terule of his ambrella; and when he look-
ed up, wructul simile just raised the cor-
ner ot his lips.

* You ar

;|sionus,

** If you mean a bad pun on the name of
one of the partners of our house,” he said,
effervescing, **I say it was an impertinent
thiug, and—”

‘+ Your fares, gentlemen, if you please,”

said a rough yoice at the door, ‘The om-
nibus had stopped ut the entrance to a
stable yard in Venchurch street; it had
reached its destination.
The old gentleman was first and near-
est the door, and he pulled off a long pod-
ded black glove with his teeth, and pro-
ceeded to get his purse trom his right hand
trousers-pocket; it was not there; in bis
leftt—it was not there either; in his spen-
cor ist-pocket—no; in his waistcoat—
no; in his tail-pocket—right—no, A slight
pink flush came in his cheek bones—his
lips grew dry with ill-concealed nervous-
ness. He looked uneasily round, and thea
on toe cushion behind where he sat.

** I's very odd,” he said—*> very care-
less of me —dgar me how very careless —
but I’m reallo afraid Dye left my purse at
home.”

‘* Now, thon, sir; don't keep the gents
ull day,” said the conductor, clashing his
pockettal of Nira spitelully.

** Lreally don’t know what to do, Sup.
pose [ leave it till to-morrow, conductor 2”

old duffer 2” said the conductor, with inso-
lent violence, **O no; you don’t get the
pull over me in that way. You pay or Vil
have you up right off, Come, where's your
money? Pay up.”

The old gentleman buttoned his spencer
together and looked round. A crowd be-
gan to collect; some street boys began to
shout and practice bird calls and thieve's
whistles.

Wire in,”

: good natured old woman called for
ao puuve, aud, Of Course, tho mora Bhy
called the more the police did not come,

Come, come, sit, pay the man,” said
the other impatient people, trying to jo. tle
out of that long cave of an omnibus, the
entrance to which was impeded by that
troublesome old cheat (as some one called
him.)

‘Pay like a man!” shouted tho boys,
**Can any one oblige me with sixpence ?”
said the old man (now palpably a mere
Joseph Addy), turning round nervously
with cali entreaty, ‘* lve lett my purse
in another coat, aud I do not wish to incur
apy mere of this vulgar fellow’s insoleuce,
Most careless of me; & most unpleasant
thing; but L have no remedy, 1 won't
trust my watch with such a low fellow as
this. It would only encourage him in
such conduct. Will no one oblige me ?”

Che other passengers tooked cross, or
blank, or insolently amused, but no one
produced the solicited sixpence,

‘Call the perlice !? shouted the conduc:
tor, ‘Vilhaye it out of him. Strike me
silly, if 1 don’t have it out of him in half
an hour, if there’s any justice at the Maa-
Old scoundrel!”

A tecling of pity came over Hargrave as
he stood watching the scene. alt ash-
amed of himself at being, perhaps,the mere
yictim of an old trick, he handed the old
man a shilling, and begged to relieve hlm
from the accidental annoyance. One or
two of the passengers laughed, and winked
at the crowd,

‘Lhe old man in the spencer, cheat as he
might be, behaved with all the convention-
alism of a gentleman; he lilted his well-
worn hat, and bowed to Hargrave as he
took the shilling; then he handed it to the
conductor, who had thrust his tongue into
his check, and was shouting to the driver.
«My last drive with you, my man,” he
said:

‘+ Don't want to see you again, tor you
are not our sort at all,” retorted Fighting
Jo, giving him the change,

“Thave to thank you, sir,” said the old
man, ne Walked lor a moment at Uar-
grave’s side, ‘for showing some confidence
iu poor human nature. Sir, L thank you
extremely — It was the first act of a gen-
Uleman, and a good heart prompted it, 1
will not jusult you by asking you where I
shall return the shilling. Good morning,
and may your hopes about business
alluirs prove all my tears to be fallacious.
1 wish you a very good morning, sir, and
once more thank you.”

‘What a tongue the old chap has, and
perhaps docs the same thing ey day.
Well, I suppose it is a wicked city, this
London,” thought Hargrave to himsell, as
the old gentleman in the spencer walk -d
rapidly back northward.
