The sister looked admiringly at her brother, and flon with a glance of triumph at Christine. Far from reprobating her brother for being associated in such atrocions schemes, she ro garded him as a hero. In the class to which she belonged there is romance of only one sort, and that is the romance of crime. The romance of the merry green-wood, of the tumbling sea, of the yellow burrost field, of the Christmas faggot, of the purple heatber, of innocent lave, are not-only the romance that reeks of blood.

I can stand next walk: I will aren take my leave of you and pace softly to my kinsman's.

The room was at the back of the house, and gave on to a little yard with a high brick wall beyond that cut off all prospect, and allowed but little light to enter. Only the cansry in a cage that swung thare, by straining its neck could get a glimpse of eky. What light was available was somewhat esenrod by the dirt that adhered to the panes, one of which was broken and patched with a bunch of rag. The floor was indescribably filthy; the walls, un poporod, were splashed and emeared, The ceiling was discoloured by gas, especially over the barter that was attached to an iron In the tube descending from the ceiling. corners sagged cobweha charged with grime.

The only attempt at decoration consisted in a representation of a particularly revolting murder from the Police News that was affixed to one of the walls.

There was a granites in the zone-ption of all London in flames that appealed to tho imagination, and invested him who had sohemed it with a hurid halo.

"I am surprised your conscience allowed you to go into such a plot," sai Chris.

» Conscienca! I ain't got none.” "Had you no fear of God before your eyes ?” “God! there ain't none, never was, and never will be."

Christine thought tit to change the topio, She enquired, "Are your father and mother at work?"

Brico laughed. "Father don't work. Ho harn't need to."

**But how do you live, then?"

Against one side of the room was a plain table; the sole chair that was available for Chris was that on which sho sat. In the grate burned no fire, and by this sat a lanky youth with bright eyes and hectic colour on his cheek bones, nghing and hacking. He estouded his lean fingers towards the empty grate, and then rubbed them to ether. To keep himself warm, he had drawn over his shoulders & foul blanket from one of the beds that occupied a side of the apartment. In the corner was heap el a buhel of coals, and by it were a frying, pas, a battered ketile and some other cooking implements, in so order and uncleaned. On the windowsleif lay four slabs of tacon, a bit of paper was below them, but none above,
