SELECTED STORY.
[From the Chamber's Journal, reprinted in the
?Eclectic Magazine.]
Z In a city bus.
Few of the habitual dwellers in London havu'
occasion tq visit tl|q city less frequently that I
have. I liayenevgr so^foot'inside the mansion
|bf .the Old Lady of Xhrcndncudlc street in iwy
life. lTjUjtup,J>hc Sjjo^tHJqrJningo is a complete
terra inct-jnita. Of the thousand-and-onc dif
ferent methods of ooiniug;tuonov, as practised
by merchants, bankers, brokers, and thnt count
less army . which, flocks cityward axery wcek
duy morning. from uinc till eleven, I know ab
solutely nothing. Neither, to beat of my be
lief, has the Money .Article of' the TttW? ever
been read by ina front U^giuing to end. Yet,
notwitlisVattsiiug ull this, it has so happened
that, on certain raro occasions, 1 have been
compelled, by "urgent private nfTuirs," to join j
the throng, of city bees for a low hours and
aim; my way eastward with the swarm. At |
*tf?tiiue?; 1 liav? generally chosen tri surVcjij
unkind froiiii the'box-seat of an omnibus, its
om a l:coign of vnuttige" not to be surpassed,
ud hardly equalled, for any oue who lovto [0
atch the wr?udcrfi?\ over-shifting panorama of
ouduu life.
On one ?uehv occasion?now several yenrsf
*.f7-thetiiiorning, was so intolerably rainy
lat r.^a.sjqbligod.to givo up all thought of my
vo'rito pervh aloft with thd'driver, and cou
nt myself with the humbler position of an
iai.de. ;Af' that time I was only thrco-and
lYcnty years old, and had been iu London
bont a couple of years, having been sent up
om my far-O&home. In one of the northern
unties, to attend the cl<tBses of, and to study
der, a certain then famous oualyticul chem
is^- ;?n the morning to which I bare just re
fc.i red, after waiting twenty minutes in the
rain, I was glad tq. find a vacant placo inside
oije of ehe nomerrms city 'buses that passed
the cntj of the stroet in .which my rooms were
situated. After having squeezed into my
place, and been well scowled at for my paius,
I proceeded to take rftook of my companions in
misery. We were eleven men and OHO woman, j
All of us men. Were more or less moidt; and
each of us had a very damp umbrella. We
had all put on our severe business air, and we
wore all more or less suspioious of the company
in which we found ourselves; and-?in conse
quence, perhaps, of the badness of the weath-1
cr? we were all more than usually inclined to
bully the conductor, and to poke him viciously
in tho riW with the ferrules of our umbrel
las! ? ? : " ? ?'' ?
But tho twelfth inside J Well, she waB a lady,
vouug and nicn-looking into tbe bargain ; and
envolop?? w^tho" prettiest air of unconscious
ness that she. >^ in tho company of eleven
blocks of wood, rather that! iu that of as many
beings of flesh and blood, not quite unsuscepti
ble, let us hope, to the charms of female loveli
ness. I have no doubt iu my own mind, thnt
if she had travelled any length of time in our
company, tho mero fact of her presence would
'havq softqned our manners, and havo weaned
us in some measure from that touch-me-not
boorishne8s with which, 23 a rule, all passen;
gors by omnibus lovo to cloak themselves. But
fortunately or unfortunately, as tho case may
, bo, journeys by omnibus are of short, duration,
and our young lady asked to bo sot down at the
corner of Ohcupsido. Previously to this, how
aver, wo have stopped some half-dozen timos to
lot down and take up other passohgors, all of
thorn of the inusculine gcudcr, so that I wus
beginuing to look upc-n myself quitb in the
j light of an old acquaintance, when our young
lady got up to leavo us. I was sitting next the
door, as she alighted, and I could not holp no
ticing 'how1 pule.she seemed all at bnco to have
become. Without heeding tho rain that still
kept falling, she began to feel for her purse in
a trembling, nervous sort of way, first in ono
pocket, and then in another.
"I have oither lost my purse, or clso my
pocket has been picked !" she said at lust, with
a sort of gasp.
The conductor, expressed no surprise, but
merely put a fresh straw in his mouth,and then
asked us "gents" to move while he looked for
the purse, "which if youug ladies waB 'bus
c'oiiductors," hp" murmured softly to himself,
?'"they would learn to take better care of their
money."
But the purse was not to be found. "If it
really ain't anywhere ubout you, miss," suid
the cohductor, as he emerged from among the
straw, "then your pocket has been picked,
flow much was there in it ?"
"Half-a-sovcrcign and fife-and-six-pencc iu
silver," answored the youug lady, with tears
trembling on her eye-lids. "But that was not
all. It also oontalnod a valuable diamond riug,
the property of the ludy with whom I am liv
ing, alid which I was taking to a jewoUW? not
far front bcro, to be repaired."
The conductor turned an eye of compassion I
on her. "Well, I'm blower! !" he muttered;
"to think of anybody in thoir seu.se being so
grecu." Then turning quickly on the remain
ing insides, he scanned us over ono by one,
ending with a solemn shake of the head.
"Can do nothiug for you, miss," he said.
"You had better go to the police, and give
them a description of your property. I knows
most of my morning passougcrs for respecta
ble city gents;' but there wusouc fishy-lookiug
cove?him as got in at Kdgowaro Road, and
sat next you, miss, all the way to Farringdou
street?what I dhiu't like the looks of; and if
your piir.se was taken by anybody after you got
into the 'bus, I'll lay odds that was the cove
that took it. And wasn't he a downydookiny
Card ! Oh, no, not a bit of it!" And the
conductor winked at mc potentously, to signify
that his la,:t remark was meant for "sarkas
uui."^' ' / . .. ..
"But I hnvo uot even moucy loft to pay my
fare with," urged the young lady.
Haifa dozen purses were out at once, such
was the influence of beauty in distress.
"Never mind the fare, miss," answered the
conductor, affably, as he mounted to his ?iVcK, ,
"A tannor won't cither break tho Co" o7
nuike it.i rbrtune. You go to the pol Leo^-t hat's
What you've got.to <lo. AU right. -Joey ; go
ahead."
Thv 'bus drove away, leaving tho- young lady
standing on the curb. She put dewn her fall,
to hide' her wet eyes, ami was turning sadly
away, when our conductor leaped nimbly down,
ran.back to her, said a few words, and wus on
his pprch again in less than two minutes.
??Thought it best to give the poor young crce
tur my number," he remarked confidentially to
mo, "and the address of our secretary, in case
of anythink turning up. But that ain't likely,
you know, sir. lAh,it ^tftb?^Whyr1?i1c|hg
cove yoi\ ^y depend upon it."
T was detailed in the pity till 5 o'clock. At
that hour I set off westward, with the intou
.( ..." ? .
tion of walking home. The rain had ceased
hour ago, and a fresh crisp breeze was now
blowing. Over tho murky city roofs the. moon
was rising iu an unclouded sky, aud all the ;
shops were ablaze with light. My rooms \vero
in a. street leading out o>f Oxford street; but
having one or two calls to make, I chose, this
evening, to go round by way of the Strand
nud Charing Cross. My calls are mude, 1
turned up St. Martin's Lane, as niy nearest
way home, and was walking carelessly aloug
that classic thoroughfare, when whom should 1
see a little way in front of me, staring intently
into tho window of a jeweller's shop, but the
"fishy-looking cove" of my frieud tho conduc
tor ! I rccoguized him iu a moment, haviug
taken particular notice of hiui while he was
my fellow-passenger iu the morning. Not that
there was anything either iu his appearance or
manners thut made nie suspicious of his hon
esty, but rather that he offered such a marked
contrast to tho respectable well-tododookiug
man, dressed in black ; with a hat and boots
that had been carefully "doctored," and might
still <lo some weather service, but which
were \\\ calculated to stand the brunt of a rainy
day. His mouth was that of a habitual dram
drinker. His eyes were weak aud watery ;
and his high-ridged aquiline uoso had an in
flamed look about it, suggestive of many a
deep potation. His chin had ovidently not
felt a razor for several days; and the minute
fragments of straw and chaff which cluug to
his dress, and wore mixed up with his unkempt,
hair, Hinted at the style of accommodation to
which ho had been reduced during tho pie
coditig night. Yet with all this, the fellow
carried a jaunty little banc, which he swung
to and fro as though he had not a care in the
world; aud he had on a pair of dog-?kiii gloves
that would Have looked stylhd? \f t|ipy ]iflu
uot been quito so dirty.
But was it ho who took tho youug lady'a
purse? That was the question ; and tjip often* j
or 1 looked at the man, tho more inclined I Jolt
to endorse tho opinion of the 'bus con- |
ductor. A brown morocco purse, con
turning fifteen-and-aixponco in cash, an? ^
lady's 'diamond ring of tho Value of fifty guln
eas?-not a bad morning'svork fur ft -'gentlehian
in reuVtced, cirouuiBtantics. rln.s?ch , ?'case,
however, al| tho.su^misiqg'in.^o world was of
no avail. No ono had seen him t^yfhe purse,
and ab long as he kept his own counsel, ho wasj
bnfe"from detection. The grand point wan to}
ascertain whethcr'hc really had tho ring dr a
pawnbroker's duplicate for it about his person !
Buidiow to do this ? ^ ,r *
This was the , problem that 1 kept turniug
over and over in my mind as I cautiously fol
lowed \tf> my man when he went on his way
from the jeweller's shop. At the top of the
lane ho seemed to hesitate for half a, minute ;
then h,o turned, to the right, and went up Long
Apre, I, still following cautiously about a dozen
yardB in the rear.
'?I will put you to a simple test, my friend,"
th?tight I; "and as you come out of it, so will
I adjudge you innocent or guilty."
Hurrying up behind him, I tapped him
lightly on the arnr. "I beg your pardon/? I
said, "bu.t did you drop this pencil-case Just
now ?" i .. <?
He started as I touched him, aud seemed
for a few seconds as if he could not take in the
meaning of my question. He looked at me
with eyes full of suspicion. Whether he re
cognized me ns one of his fellbw-passengors by
the morning's 'bup, I could not determine.
We had halted opposite a large shop, and the
light from the window shone full on my silycr
pencil-case, oh which, at length, when he was
apparently satisfied with his scrutiny of my
face, his glanco fastened greedily. ?
"Picked it up, did you say V ho asked, as
he bogan to fumble with thumb and &nger,.iu.
his waistcoat pocket.
"Just behind you/' I answered. '^But if
it's uot yours, I shan't" L^her any 'more about
it, but pocket it myself." ?
"But it is mine," ho put iu eagerly. "How
stupid of me to lose it!"?I put the iponcil
case in his hands without hesitation.?"I am
really much obliged to you," he went on, "for
your kindness iu returning it. As you urow
older, young gentleman, you will fhf? that hon
esty is thtil exception .in thia world., nnd not the
"AVefrj Pnf glaa to have found the owner,"
F saftd, with a laugh. "You seem to value the
case?" '? ?'
"I do value io. youug gentleman/' unswercd
the old hypocrite. "Less, perhaps, frem its
intrinsic worth, than from tho fact ?htui it is
the sole relic now left mo of a very dear friend.
Friendship.ever let us cherish, A truly noble
sentiment !"
"Thon, if you value it ao highly," I said,
"you can hardly object to stand half a go of
brandy for its recovery."
"Half a goof brandy !" ho said, in a horri- \
ued tone. "Young man. young man. I'm vorv j
much arVftid??"
I had taken out my watch, a valuable gold
tavcr. As his eye fell on- it, his intended re
monstrance came to an abrupt conclusion.
"Well?ah?yes. you are quito right," he re
sumed, "and 1 shall be happy to treat you to a
go of brandy. To what place shall we ad
journ ?"
"To the nearest house, plcaso. I want to get
home to my dinner."
So wo went to the noarcst tavorn, where my
new acquaintance ordered a glass of brandy
for me, and half a pint of stout for himself..
Not to be behind-luiud, I ordered a couple of
cigars.
"Been in London loug?" asked my compan
ion, as I was lighting my weed.
"No, only a few mouths. Fresh from the
couutry."
"At the risk of being thought impertinent,
may I just inquire to what particular line of
business your talents are devoted'/"
? To no line at all, j?:at at present. The
fact is," I ndded, lowering my voice to the
proper confidential toue, "I had a little mouey
left me about a year ago, and I am up iu Lon

ment. But I've mqt with nothing to niv Hk
trig, so far; in fact, I'm getting tired of town,
""'J have naif a mind to go back home, and
take my money with me."
I could sco tho old scamp's eyes brighten as
he drank in my words eagerly.
"My dear young friend, if you will allow mo
to call you so," he began iu blandly persuasive
accents, "let me couusel you to do nothing
rashly. Thoro are thousands of excclleut in
vestments in London. Hut what uou want is
a until at your back who knows all the ins and
outs of this great, city ; who knows how to
