their colleagues were delighted that one

It was shit of patchwork, a piece of incon-

At the start it organized itself into two

the country. Mr. Lincoln; amid the unseen:
1y scramble, contrived to make a few. hp-

the worst of the whole. ‘ ,
As an aggregate, the Cabinet pleased no-

1n a few moments MnPullinger made his
appearance, a Short, bow-legged man, with
a broad, good-homered face, and a pair of
twinkling brown eyes. He took from his
Shoulders a corn sack, which he were by
way of an overcoat, and hung it on the ban-
istcrs to dry.
“ Dear Bob, llew wet you are i" said his
wife, anxiously. .
. “ Well, it is myther dempisb," answered
Mr. Pullingcr, calmly, as he shook himself
on the stairhead, like a Newfoundland deg; r

“ That depends open you, Bob.”

attic, beating his arms on his-chest to keep

the table he took. a bite of his. bread and

A serious discussien took place among
the family as to the proper hour for the
Christmas dinner. As Mr. Pullinger would
be engaged all day with his hnnsom,‘ his
wife proposed that they Should dine in the
evening, and call it supper. Mr. Pullinger
replied that if be (lined lute he should” pre-
fer calling igdinner, as a hansom driver
could not be too fashionable in his habits;
but advised an earlier hour on the children’s”
account-.j ‘Tlleln poor little things,” he ob-
served, “cun’t wait till eight o’clock. It’ll
tantalize them out of their seven senses to
hear the pudding bubbling away for so ma.
ny hours.” ” ' ' , _
Mr. Pullinger’s plan was followed, and
the dinner was pgoneunced a success. It is
true that the pudding was hardly so big as
the children would have liked, and that Bob

this Whistle was a” signal agreed upon be-
tween herself and her father, she instantly
threw up the sash, and summoned the rest
of the family to the window to see father
drive by. '
“Don’t father leek nice in Ned Tomlin-
son’s hat and coat 1’”? she exclaimed, “he
don’t seem like himself.” . , ‘
, Mr. Pullinger, as he passed, waved a
graceful salute to his family, and p0inted to
the inside of his vehicle, as much as to say,
“You see what kind of a fare I’ve got.”
The fare consisted of two vulgar-1y dres-
sed young men, with dandified canes in
their hands, and big'segars- in their mouths;
holiday customers, evidently, to whom a
'hunsom ride Was an unusual luxury_ .
“The more seems quiet,” observed Mrs.
Pullinger, as the vehicle turned into the
Blackfriors road. _ ' ' , , .
“Yes; and father’s so careful," answer-
'ed Lizzie. ‘ a.
'Five minutes afterward, Lizzie and her
mother were again attracted to the window
—not by any preconc'erted signal, but by
the sound of loud voices and footsteps run-
ning in, tlfo street below. Neighbors were
standing at their doors, or leaning out of
windows, gazing eagerly towards the main
road. Mrs. Puliin‘ger ran down stairs, and
asked a lad who was lounging by the street
door if he knew what was thematter.
“Only a runaway,” he answered coolly,
“ ‘Ansonfinade a bolt, and went of flying."
0n hearing these omnieus words, the anx—
ious wife, regardless of shawl or bonnet,
darted off, and ran into the main thorough-
fare, at the corner of which she pausedfer
a moment, and steed with a white,“ eager
face, shading her eyes with her hand; and
"gazing into the. throng of vehicles which
filled ‘the roadway.
“Can you fill me which way the cab
went which ran away?” she asked of a
tradesmen who stood at his door.
“Tovvards the Obelisk,” he answered
briskly; “I saw the whole afl'air. The pas~
sengers were behaving shamefully. Actu-
ally poking the horsc with their stic ."
At these words Mrs. Pullinger became
still pzher. ‘ _
“I’m afraid it must be his cab," she mur~
mured feebly.
“Whose cab ‘2" demanded the tradesmen.
“ v 1!
She uttered this monosyllable, then stag-
gered against the doorspost, and sankdown
in-a fainting fit. .
As he raised her from the ground, the
tradesmen perceived the reason of her sud-
den swoon. A dense crowd was coming up
the street, in the ”midst of which, home
aloft on pelicemen’s shoulders, appeared a
bleeding, disfigured body, with its‘ arms
hanging helplessly at its sides. " -
. IV. ’ '
One day, about three weeks later, poor
Pullinger was lying on a trestlebcd in a
ward of a London hospiml. . A surgeon'was
standing over him. ‘ _
“Well, Pullingcr, you’re doing capitally.
Your tongue is the right color, your pulse is
good, your skin moist andcoo ,” said the
surgeon. “Three [weeks ago I didn’tthink
we should bring you through. What do

patient, with a slight twinkle in his eye.
“If you feed me too .well while I’m laying

“I’m ail-aid not,” returned thekindly house
surgeon; “it’s, against the rules. ' Mrs. Pul-
linger‘ hasn’t had her ribs broken, or her
brains concussed. '7 Besides, she has met with
good friends; Here she comes, and one of -
her friends with her.” . ‘ ’
“Why, that’s Mr. Jennings, the tea grocer
,in (he Blackfriars road !" muttered . the pa“
. tient, be stretched out a thin‘ hand, and smi-
t
.led a welcome on his wife. _
Yes, it was Mr, Jennings, the tradesmen
to whom Mrs. Pullinger' had addressed her—
;self when she fell down fainting at the terri-
ble spectacle of her husband’s appare' nily
lifeless body. Mr. Jennings recognized her
as an occasional customer, andbeing a kind
hearted man, made further inquiries about
her, interested several other personsinthe
use, and,in fact, became a substantial friend
to the family during her husband’s long and
dangerous illness. '
, This was the first occasion on which the
house-surgeon had allowed Mr. Pullinger to
talk freely, so that he had a great many
questions to ask. He was rejoiced to hear
that the mare had escaped unhort.
. {There wasn’t a scratch upon her,” replied
Mr. Jennings. ~
“And the cab 1’” . ,
“All, the cab was a good deal knocked
about: near wheel mashed to atoms.”
What did-Mr. Wilkinson say?”
, “He went on dreadful,” replied Mrs. Pul-
linger, “till this good gentleman explained
to him how it happened.” '
“Yes,” interrupted Mr. Jennings, “ I was
an eyewitness of the whole affair. These
young men inside behaved shatnefully.—
They deserved to be hurt instead of you and
they weren’t hurt a bit.” ,
' “I suppose Ned Tomlinson’s coat—”began
Mr. Pullinger, hesitatingly.
: “Torn all to tatters,” answeredtheworthy
grocer, “and a thief ran away with his hat."
Q “Poor Ned l"observed thepatient. “Here

‘ “Don’t fret yourself, dear Bob,” exchimed
his wife; “you don’t know what a kind
friend Mr. Jennings has been. He bought
Tomlinson a new coat and hat.” -
“Mrs. Pullinger, you’ll make me blush,”
sold the grocer, shading his face with his
handkerchief, and winking pleasantly at the
patient. ' 4'
At this moment a tall, thin, elderly gentle-
man, with a pair ofkeen eyes, and a sharply
cut, decisive-looking mouth, entered the
ward. The nurses who were present rose
and curtesied respectfully. He shook the
house-surgeon cordially. by the hand, and
after a few words at the bedside of, several
of the patients, drew near Mr. Pullinger.
.“You don’t know me i” he said rather
brusquely, fixing his searching glance on the
prostrate cabman. ‘ . ‘
“Can’t say I do, sir," replied Mr. Pullinger
”as lie-feebly endeavored to salute his ques-
tioner by touching an imaginary hat.
“But I know you, Pullinger,” said the
new cemer,——‘“don’t. I, Marshall f”-—to the
house-surgeon. ‘LYou’r the man who, when
you wove delirious, used to brag so of your
coachlnanship.” .
“I’m sorry to hear'I bragged, sir," said Mr.
Pullinger deferentially. ' _
' “Indeed, sir, he’s not given to ’beasting,"
interrupted Mrs. Pulliglger; “when he’s him-
self, he’s‘the humblest creature—"
“But makes up-_ for it, ma’m, when he’s
ill,” said the visitor. “Why, he told me that
be’ d been accustomed to drive a four-in-hand
up and down the Strand every day for the
last thirty years.” - . .
“Lawk, sir,” cried the 00me that was
