Tlie Ri-v. Septim us was an earnest man, and took a severe and gloomy view- of tlie plea.siires o f life. He w-orked terrilily liard in an E ast End jiarisli; knew- nidliing and eared less aliout out door sports—or, in fact, a liout any form of .amusement; and fully e.vis-eteil ills (’lli'iitis lo follow iiiilie.sitatiiigly in the extremely narrow and steep patli up which lie led them.

From till- loregoing it may lie g athered tliat Mi'.s -Mire Ileatlicote and Mr. Tmn B.ixti r were on tolerably intim ate term.s. As :i m a iler of Liet they liiel been en- ga.ged lor si.x niontlis. d u ring wldeli tim e they li.nl u ry rarely met. B txter's peo- lile were weli iitf, a ud lie had a very rich iii-le. :iinong whose possessions w-;is a n ci-elleiit lamily living, destined in tlie futiii-e fill- Tom and liLs liride. But the uncle was a stern :inrl coiiseientious gen tleman. and Ilf was determined, liefore he il(‘liidti il agreed lo give Tom tiie va- hen it oeciineil—to see w hat range a j Straightw'i On the day is liad promised to meet liis inten told ids vie;u- that lie niglit w- ju s t COL ■nded Ton Hissing till •ome h ome from India, in his ro Jerm y n .street. This, it musi .said, was jierfectly true, a n d of course Mr. i-ih-aiglitw-ay could offer no valid oh- dion, as Baxter liad done all his work a t \oung gentlem an w-as made of. And as wliy Baxter liad been sent to ■isli, and itand ld,gli in ids vicar’.s opinion. W lien Tom read the letter Ids til leli-rieal Hiougli it m ay apjie.ir, use strong language. But he -;iineil liimself aud fell to thinking llielie variousarious m eanseans off escapingscaping from p l v m o e f (Uitiis. A fresli appeal to Mr. Struiglitway he knew to be hopeless. Tluit wortiiywortiiy ascetic did not only look cricket as a frivolous waste of lime, a strong advocate of tin bacy tif t' c clergy. Moreover, liy merely asking the question Tom miglit offend him, and tliis he certainly could not afford to do under tlie cireum^tani-es. 'here wasnoHiiiig for It then but a pious i-aud, and altliougli Tom's coiuscience t-belled a g uiiit tlie idea of dec-eiving liLs icar, wlio trusted 1dm implicitly, lie ould not make up his mind to di.sap- oiiu Alice, or to deny ldi>is\li the pleas- _re Ilf seeing lier. He uiignt, u n d e r more favorable circumstances, liave dined at her luicle's In use in Portm an square, liut as luck W ould liave it lie Iiad undi rtaken to conduct an evening class on liotli nights of lier stay in town. So lia w rote a very affectionate answer, promising th a t notldng sliort of an earthquake should prevent liim from appearing at Lord's, and he a t once set to work to ar- jeetion , as Baxte r liad done all his ' for the day. Tiie next day, liow-i Tom slunk off to a leiegraph office and in guilty liaste disjEitclied a wire to Hie effect that lie was suft'ering from a se vere :itl:iek o f lumbago, hut would, if possilile, return iii tlie evening. By 11 o'clock lie w as at ’’Lord's. Tlie mere siglit of the groiiml was so welcome to him that he was diytermiiied to spend as mucli lim e tlu-re as he possibly could, lie knew-, of course, tliat lie would be certain to tin et any num b e r of ids old friends, and Huit tlie wliole proceeding was exii-emely risky; but he con.soled liimself w-ith tlie tliouglit tliat, as Mr. Straiglitw-ay rarely, if ever, went into society of any sort, lie was not a t all likely to hear a n y thing about it. bo he ensconced li'mi-,elf in the pavilion and awaited tlie beginning of tiie play with pleasuralile iuipatienee. Tlie Heatlicotes were all entlius; .Stic c ricketers, a n d he counted on Hu ir apiiearance by 12 o'clock iit tlie late.st. Tlie malcii eommenced in due course, Imt uiion its varying fortunes it is not •y to dwell.

Two o’clock struck. Tlie bell i-augfor liincli, and the occupants of Mr. IleatlicotiVs drag prepared for tlie substantial meal wliieli form s so prom i nent a feature of tlie tw o great matclies at Lord’s. Tom by no means despised creature comforts. Mr. Straiglitw-ay’s curates were expected, a t all events wlieii witli liim aud on duty, to follow tlieir vicar's exanipii* in asceticism, so a good luncli wa.s v ery acceptable to iiim. He iiad .supiilied Alice's wants, and was in tiie a c t of lifting to ids moutli a piece of salmon, wlien suddenly he turned pale, liis jaw fell, ins eyes dilated, and tiie piece of salmon, aceoinpanied by tlie fork, fell unlieeded to llie ground. It was too ti-ue.

Tlie eaii- tive was grow-ing desperate, w lien a t last a w elcoiue face appeared at tiie w-indow- ahovp the blind. “ Mr. Baxter, sir,\ wiiispen.d Binns. “ tile cleric;il gent, sir; lie's on tiie roof of o u r drag.” “ You don't .say so!\ groaned Tom. “ He is, indeed, sir.

A fter a ll, whv shouldn't he? “ W ell, Binns, I really think I will.” And the trusty servitor disappeared to return witli a huge plateful o f cold pie, a bottle of cliam p agne and some straw- “ T liank ye, Binns,” .same Tom, grate fully; “ now go away and don’t come back till the clergvman has gone. Whew! How hot it is!” I t w-as hot aud no mistake. On a scorcliing day the interior of a drag with the window-.s shut is a b o u t a s agreeable a resting pl:ice as 'tlie Black Hole. Tom could not let the blinds down, so he drank a tum b ler of icqd champagne, which made him mucli w arm e r tlian be fore, tliough it inspired liim to smile at his position.

He piled the dust cloaks, coats a n d um brellas in one corner, and tried to make liimself comfortable. Pres ently, liowever, tile m atch was re.sunied, and tlien his real suffering began.
