On Short Notice, in Good Style, at Cheap Prices.
e idle to use her own words, she was one
‘as couldn’t abide to sit mumchance. That
‘fatal foe to domestic industry, the London
i |
Journal, fluttered in vain down her area, for she could not read. She supported a sick mother out of her wages, aided by a few presents of money and clothes from Helen Rolleston, who had a great regard for Nancy, and knew what a hard fight she had to keep asick woman out of her twenty pounds a year.
In love Nancy was unfortunate, her buxom looks and sterling virtues were balanced by a provoking sagaci'y, and an irritating habit of speaking her mind. She humbled her lovers’ vanity, one after an- other, and they fled. Her heart smarted more than once.
Nancy was ambitious, and her first rise in life took place as follows: When the Rollestons went to Australia, she had a good cry at parting with Helen, but there was no help for it, she could not leave her mother. However, she told Helen she could not stomach any other service, and since she must be parted, resolved to better herself. This phrase is sometimes drolly applied by servants, because they throw independence into the scale. In Nancy’s case it meant setting up as a wash- erwoman. Helen opened her hazel eyes with astonishment at this,the first round in the ladder of Nancy’s ambition. However, she gave her ten pounds and thirty intro- ductions, twenty-five of which missed fire, and with the odd five Nancy set up her tub in the suburbs, and by her industry, geniality and frugality, got on tolerably well. In due course she rented a small house, backed by a small green, and adver- tised for a gentleman lodger. She soon got one and soon gotridofhim. However, she was never long without one.
Nancy met Joseph Wylie in company;
and assailors are brisk wooers, he soon be- came her acknowledged suitor, and made some inroad into her heart, though she kept on the defensive, warned by past ex- perience. Wylie’s love-making had a droll feature about it; it was most carried on in the presence of three washerwomen, because Nancy had no time to spare from her work, and Wylie had nu time to spare in his woo- ing, being on shore fora limited pericd. And this absence of superfluous delicacy on his part gase him an unfair advantage over. the tallow-chandler’s foreman, his only rival at present. Manya sly thrust, and mary a hearty laugh from his female auditors, greeted| his amorous eloquence, but, for all that, they sided with him, and Nancy felt her importance, and brightened along with her mates at the sailor’s ap- proach, which was generally announced by a cheerful hail. He was good company, to use Nancy’s own phrase, and she accepted him asa sweetheart on probation. But, when Mr. Wylie urged her to marry him, she demurred, and gave astring of reasons, all of which the sailor and his allies, the subordinate washerwomen, combated in full conclave.
Then she spoke out : ‘My lad, the wash- tub is a saddle as won't carry double. I’ve seen poverty enough in my mother’s house; it shan’t come in at my door to drive leve out o’ window. Twe comes together with just enough for two; next year instead of two they are three, and one of the three can’t work and wants a servant extra, and by and by there is half a dozen, and the money coming in at the spigot and going out at the bunghole.’
One day in the middle of his wooing, she laid down her iron, and said: ‘You come along with me. And I wonder how much work will be done whilst my back is turned, for you three gabbling and wonder- ing whatever I’m guing to do with this here sailor.’
She took Wylie a few yards down the street, and showed him a large house with most of the windows breken. ‘There,’ said she, ‘there's a sight for a sea-farming man. That’s in Chancery.’
‘Well, it’s better to be there than in H—,’ said Wylie, meaning to be sharper.
‘Wait till you've tried ‘em both,’ said Nancy.
Then she took him to the back of the house and showed him a large garden attached to it.
‘Now, Josoph,’ said she, ‘I’ve showed
you a lodging house and a drying ground, ‘and I’m a cook and a clear-starcher, and I’m wild to keep lodgers and do for ‘em, washing and all. Then, if their foul linen goes out, they follows it the same if they has their meat from the cook shop. Four hundred pounds a year lies there a-waiting forme. I’ve been at them often to let me them premises, but they says no, we have got no horder from the court tolet. Which the court would rather see ’em go to rack an’ ruin for nothing than let ‘em to an honest woman as would pay the rent punc- tual, and make her penny out of ‘em, and nobody none the worse. And to sell them, the price is two thousand pounds, an’ if I had it I'd give it this minute, but, where are the likes of you and me to get two thousand pounds! Butthe lawyer, he says, ‘Miss Rouse, from you one thousand down, and the resi on mortgige at £45 the year,’ which it is dirt cheap, I say. So now, my man, when that house is mine, I’m yours. I'm putting by for it o’ my side. If you means all you say, why not
| save a bit o’ yours? Once I get that house and garden, you needn't go to sea no more, nor you sban’t. If 1 am te be bothered with a man, let me know where to put my finger on him at all hours, and not lie shivering and shaking at every win- dow as creaks, and him out at sea. And if you aretoo proud to drive the linen in a light cart, why I could pay a man.’ In short, she told him plainly she would not marry till she was above the world, and the road to above the world was through the great battered house and seedy garden in Chancery.
Now, it may appear a strange coinci- dence that Nancy’s price to Wylie was three thousand pounds, and Wylie’s to Wardlaw was three thousand pounds, but the fact is it was a furced coincidence. Wylie, bar- gaining with Wardlaw, stood out for three thousand pounds, because that was the price for the house and “garden and Nancy.
Now, when Wylie returned to England
safe after his crime and his perils, he com- forted himselz with the reflection that Nancy would have her house and garden, and he should have Nancy. But young Wardlaw lay on his sick bed, his father was about to return to the office aud the gold disguised as copper was order- ed up to the cellars in Fenchurch street. There, in all probability, the contents would be examined ere long, the fraud exposed, and other unpleasant consequences might follow over and above the loss of the pro- mised £3,000.
(To be continued.)
The Railway Loan.
The Toronto World—an independent paper with Liberal leanings—says :
‘‘Tt is not too much to say that a great financial crisis has been averted by the Dominion Government to advance money to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company rather than see the work stopped or materi- ally delayed. Taking the purely business view of the matter, we might ask—what would the consequence to the country be were the loan refused? Most disasterous, we may without hesitation reply. Among bankers, merchants and manufacturers it would be felt that a heavy calamity had befallen the Dominion. A gloom like that of the ‘earthquake and eclipse’ would settle down upon commercial circles. For, be it remembered, already manufacturing invest- ments have been made, and large responsi- bilities, financial and commercial, under- taken on a scale calculated, not for the old provinces alone, but also the vast new country which the railway is expected to develop. As long as it appears that the work is going forward rapidly to completion, business men feel confident that invest- ments made will soon be justified by our increasing population, and that henceforth our manufactures must “‘grow up with the country.” But let it be seen that the build- ing of the railway and the filling up of the country are to be checked, dis- trust and dismay would be diffused every- where, from Cape Breton to Vancouver Island. We say that no Caradian Govern- ment can afford to hesitate at such a time; the thing must be done, or worse will happen. We refuse to believe that Mr. Blake and his friends, were they in power, would on similar occasion take any course materially different from that which the Government is now taking.
‘‘In order to float the company’s new stock a Government guarantee of three per cent. was tried, but investors to take up the stock could not be found. And the reason why is well known; in fact too well known to be disputed. Grand Trunk in- fluence has been strong enough in London to prevent anything more than @ very limited sale of Canadian Pacific Railroad stock there; while in New York the com- any had to encounter the opposition of probably the most gigantic financial com- bination ever known in America. What can be done by combinations of railway kings in New York was shown quite re- cently by the wreck of Villard and his for- tunes, and the change to a large extent of the ownership of the Northern Pacific. The same parties would doubtless have been well pleased to have made the Can- adian Pacific their next ‘ gobble;’ and who will say that they might not have succeeded were no helping hand to interfere? The surmise may be hazarded that measures for gobbling up the Canadian competitor of the Northern Pacific have been for some time in preparation in New York, and that a knowledge of the fact was what mainly determined the Dominien Government to take action. This is a sur- mise only, but let no one be surprised should it speedily be justified by facts brought to light. Is is quite within the mark to say that a crisis has been averted, and that by the timely action of the Gov- ernment the country has been saved from @ great calamity. For no doubt the measure proposed will be adopted by Parliament, and ere another Dominion Day dawns it will have been very clearly shown that in this matter the boldest course was also the wisest.”
