There he had now lain for six weeks, and but for the little hoard which he had saved for a rainy day, and tbe kindness of Col. Howard, master of Howar d Court, it wonld bavo been hard for his wife and children. Once a week Mrs. Haigh went to see him , leaving Charlio to watch the cottage, and tako care of baby Will , to whom he made a most devoted little nurse. Charlie's mother knew she conld trust him, for nothing had ever gone wrong during these absences, and tho little boT was a great comfort in the midst of'her heavy trial, so Mrs, Haigh went brisklv down the roacl.

The heavy little head sank wearily on his breast, ami Charlie fell fast asleep. Whil e he had slept what seemed to hi m only a few seconds he thonf;ht he woke t o find the room i n a perfect blaze of light. It seemed l o come from tho fire, which had been almost ont wlien he went to sleep, bn t ivhich now cracked merriij , the flames shaping themselves into the most fantastic figures as they leaped np the chimney. Charley watched them i n acme amazement, an d ancIdenlT, with a loud crack like the report of a pistol, a lump of red-hot coal shot straight out of the fire onto the hearth. As' it landed on a small piece of carpet, Charlie rose an d mad e a mah for the tongs, OTortuming i n his hurry tho stool on which baby's sapper was standing all ready.

Well , Charlie, you can not live t o be so old, because yon are mortal, bu t I have long know n you to be a good little boy, and I should like t o d o something for yon. I s there anything you would like very much ?\ \Yea please, sir. I would liko father to be bietter and come home to-morrow, bu t perhaps you cannot bring him? \ •*Ves; your father will be home to- morrow. Now, is there anything else you would like?\ Charlie could think of nothing to wish for i f father were at home again an d well, bnt, glancing round, he caught sight of baby*s supper bowl knocked over and smaahed. He heard mother say that very day she valued the bowl because i t ha d been her moth- er's, and Charlie knew how vexed she rckuld be. \Well , you wonld like it mended?\ said the little man , following the direc- tion of Charlie's eyes. \Oh , so much, sir. Could you ado that toor \Of course I can ; bring m e all the fnigments here; i t is too cold for m e to go farther from the fire.** Charlie picked them up sarefully, and laid them in a little heap besi^ him. The little old gentleman took the pieces one by one and threw them into tbe fire, then, hopping on to the ribs, he waved his little weapon over them for a few seconds, and handed tbe bowl to Charlie, all mended and without even a crack i n it. The boy was dnm b with astonishment; he felt unable to even tliank bis visitor. Before be could get ont one word he was amazed to see the little man gradually grow redder and redder, an d then lose his shape altogether—getting quite like a hot coal again. Hi s voice sounded fainter and fainter, and seemed to come from ever so far ray. ''Farewell, Charlie, I am going now to visit another little boy, bu t I shall come again some other night.
