Randolph knew that if ¡ lo in was not gone beyond recall, he might have another chance with his master Three days had passed, «nd the vear. had stepped softly from ííovem ier into w inter, and the last, month opened with sm iles as radiant as ¡¡hose which kindle the face of June ; with winds bidmy as May’s, and with no sign nor whisper of the long path of storm and darkness through which the rpad! toward the spring, just „as some liyes lie in sweet warmth and security on the borderland of awful experience of sorrow, and pain, and oss, through which their feet must walk into the eternal “ rest” beyond. And one morning of this,\ sunshine out of - season/' a youth somewhat about h is seventeeth.year might have been Seen making his-way slowly along one of the principal thoroughfares of the c ity. If. you had looked in his face you would have found i t a brigot, intelli gent one, with eyes that held usually plenty of fire and spirit in them, but now carried some gloom, or sadness, or both. , So did the slow step, slow and despondent, so did the slender boy figure, with idle nands listlessly in the pockets, for want o f some bet ter employment. “ .Now,Tom Haynes,\ buzzed the brain of this youtb, “ you’re-done for in this city, and the sonner you clear out and go off to se», the better Jor you. The best you can do is to ship as a common deck hand, for a good long voyage round, th? world You’ll have a chance to see something of the world before you get hack, and, per haps you'll yet into a good berth and he a captain some day. It ’ll be hard enough at first, and you must 'make up your mind to plenty of knocks .; but it w ill be better than looking around the city, w ith your hands in your pockets and your last dollar going.
