It was a peculiar voice that, struck

clem* and strong, with a slight <piaver

Again the childish tones and quavering

of nine, "Doll" had urown up to a
bri glit lad of twelve, I had virtually
adopted tho l?oy, and lio had accustomed
himself to calling mo "Undo

has done much toward eradicating the
dross that had accumulated in ids
years upon tho streets of the grout
inetr ?polis, and had instilled into his
mind eoino of tho nobler qualities essential
to life. His real name was
Wurdell Holmes. Ills mother, brokenhearted
at the course pursued by her
dissolute, worthless husband, had
died when Wurdell was but six years
old, leaving him to the care of his
father. After her death Holmes reformed
for a while, but tho associations
of his past life, and tho habits
formed, were too much for him to
withstand, and ere. long he had gone

The breakfast I' d! iiad rung half an
hour before I entered (lie dining-room
having ovcrslopt myself tithing I luid
not been guilty of for years. Airs.
Wall laid tin.' col'loc nP-amiug, and beside
my plate Jay l!i/j morning paper
as usual. i'iekjng it up, 1 glaneeil
over its e.damns, and with a shock
thatcaused m to overluru my coffee,!
read t '>? star.ling announcement of
the failure of Cook & Co,, and their
biauch houses.
A groan escape 1 my lips, and dropping
my head in.'o my hands, ! leaned
011 the table in bcv.ild' Mnent. I knew
then our house must ',40 l>y the board.
The house of 11. (?, brooks A Co. was
well known in commercial circles
now, having remove;! inlo a larger
building soul" years b d'ore.and la ken a
partner. humors calculated to depreciate
the faith of iinanejal circles
in the linn of Cook *v Co. ha I for a
hort time previous been rife, but,
were unheeded by us; and now
til at tin; blow had fallen, nothing
could save us from ruin, that I could
see.
Hastening to the. store, early though
it was, 1 found Mr, llalpin, my partner,
there before me. No words were
necessary; we understood all at. a mutual
glance. business in the store
proceeded as usual during t he morning,
but arrangements to close our doors in
i the afternoon were, being made.
1 sat in the ofliee at the dinner hour
alone, my head buried in my hands,
and absorbed in painful thour-lit,when
a step s.allied inc. t glanced up, and
saw a young man just inside the doors
gazing intent ly at me.
lie was very sun-browned, but tho
face had a familiar, half forgotten expression
about if that carried me into
tjie, past.
"Did you wish to see one of the
11 riiiV" 1 inquired, rising from the
chair in which 1 was seated and advancing
toward hjm.
A faint smile, crossed his face as he
held out his two hands with a longing
look and said in a low voice:
"Uncle. Dick, don't you know me?"
1 started, as it shot, scarcely believ
iii^ it xi-iiiiiy, iiiii. as me lruin (lawnou
uvea* my mind, and J he tears leaped to
my eyes, 1 held out my arms,and with
a hall'sol) of "Dell! iiell! it's you, my
boy!" I clasped him in my embrace.
Jt was indeed the missing boy of
twelve, now a man of twenty-seven.
It was a long story he told me Italf
tearfully, loo for he never ex peeled
to see me again, alter the long years
of separation and the mystery of liis
absence. That night- or afternoon,
rather almost liflecn years before, he
had left school for home, as usual.
Passing down 1J street, a rough,
seafaring man had accosted him, and
informed him he was his father, and
Dell, gazing into his face, saw too
plainly it was indeed a fact.
Taking the boy by the hand ho led
him through torturous by-ways and
alleys, in a circuitous route to the
wharf, and with him went aboard a
i ii.a,,,. i\ n ? ?
upnri uii'tr, i u;i <i i! 11 ug l.'l'Jl Uy
force, 110 kept. him on board until the
vessel was under way and bound for
tlie Kast India trade. The weary days
passed by, one by one; weeks came
and went, and the months dragged
their tiresome length away, but as yet
no port had been entered by tbo (Jiisco,
the vessel in which he was such an unwilling
passenger. All things, howover,
have an end, and at last theCasco
found anchorage in the little port
of Mncgamo, a small village on the
northern coast of the Arabian gulf.
Here for awhile l)cll was left to himself,
the captain and the major portion
of the crew being inland upon a
trading journey. Several of these trips
had been successfully accomplished,
and upon the linal one befure sailing
for home, Dell requested his father to
take him along, and his request was
complied with. After a toilsome
match of two days beneath the hot sun
of tno, orient the company reached
their destination, a email village, or
"bhookt," as the heathen inhabitants
termed it,about lift y miles inland from
the coast. Two days had been passed
in trading, and the following sunrise
was to see them well on their way
back to the vessel, llefore leaving,
however, a difficulty between one of
! the crew and a native terminated in a
g< nuine light, cud the crew of the

Dell, in the hands of tho barbarians.
Death at violent hands was tlio early
fate of his companions,ami for himself
the same end was hourly expected. It,
however, never came. Tho boy seemed
to be a general favorite among the natives,
and especially of the chief man
of the village. With this man, and
liiiiot)<t these people f??r twelve years
Dell lived eon'ented, enjoying life at
his ease, although in a half-civilized,
semi-barbarous way, but it was far
preferable to life on the deck of tho
Casco, an I with his inebriate father.
One day messengers arrived with tho

bhooUt. Ii'?r :o (pt iatilies of valuables ,
were ladene I to accompany tho ])ib
grims as saerilie s at tho shrine of
their mythical deities, '
On their way to the coast a fearful
tropical typhoon swept across their
path, and when the storm "assed all
that remained of their company to
carry tho tidings was an old decrepit
man and Doll. With the death of tho
chief, all tho ties that hound Dell to
his nomadic life were severed, and,
continuing the Journey alone, ho
reached the seaport with tho good fortune
of lludingau English hark about
to sail. Embarking, ho reached Liverpool
in safely, and from thence returned
to this country,
"I looked in the directory, Uncle I
Dick,with a terrible fear that I should
llnd your name missing, but it was
there before my eyes, and it was not
long before ! had you before my eyes,
too."
Doll saved I he firm of Drooks & Co,
that day. The rascal did not tell mo
in his narrative, Mint out <?t" llio wreck
left by the I yphoon In* had gathered
mut'li of the treasure and valuables
destined as a sneiillcial offering by
the old ehief. IToin the sale of this ho
realized quite a sum, and when, after
years of absence and mystery, he returned

The very name of Ihe bad pencil,
like so many others Mint have heeomo
familiar as household words, is a misnomer,
for there is no lead in it. lied
lead is an oxide of lead,and white, lead
is a carbonate of Mi<> same metal, but
black lead is neither a metal nor a
compound of metal. It is, as most of
our readers are aware,one of the forms
of that very eomm >11 but very interesting

There are several pencil maiiufactories
in Keswick, Kng. The "leads"
for the best pencils, as we were told,
were formerly sawed ??ut. from masses
of the pure graphite then yielded by
the lJorrowdale mine; but the only
mine now furnishing masses largo
onough for the purpose is in Siberia,
At pi "esent the smaller fragments of
graphite are ground line, calcined, and
mixed with pure clay, which has been
prepared by diffusing it 1 lirough water,
allowing the coarser part ieles to settle,
drawing off the milky liquid from the
top and letting it settle again. This
latter sediment is exceed high tinennd
plastic, and after being dried on linen
lilters is tit for use. It is mixed with
j the powdered graphite in various proport
ions, according to the degrees of
hardness required in the pencil; two
parts of clay to one of graphite being
used for a line, hard grade, equal
parts for a s<>fi one, and itenncdiato
mixtures for the grades between. Tho
' materials after being mixed are triturated
or kneaded with water till thoy
are of tho consistency of dough. This
dough Is i?ressed into grooves in a
smooth board, dried in this mould by
u moderate heat, then taken out
.,.,,1 ; - ? i :> > -
ii iiv? mci ix^'U *?i v_'i?\ rn'U i*i un I >H.'5 111 <V
furnace. Sometimes the dough is com
pressed in n strong receiver and forced
I out through a small hole in a tliread
of the shape required, then dried and
, baked as above. The grade of the
lead depends partly upon the degree
1 of boat to which it is exposed in the
furnace. Jjoads intended for very tine
work, like architectural drawing, are
re-heated, after the baking and immersed
in incited wax or suet.
The wood used for all the better
kinds of pencils is the Florida red cedar,
which is thoroughly seasoned, cut
into strips, dried again, and then cut
into pieces of proper size for pencils.
These are grooved by machinery, tho
leads are glued Into the groove, and
tho other half of the wood is glued on.
