[By fecial Arrangement.-Copyright] THE DANCING DOLL, I By EDITH S. DREWRY. i Author of On Bangerous Ground," Only an Artrese," Ac., &c? Quite a little knot of people bad by degrees gathered on the pavement to watch the child, for a man was playing & piano- organ in one of the west central ensnares, and she was dancing to it, evidently with inuense enjoyments-only a poor, little home- less oity Arab, ragged, ill-fed, unkempt, but such a pretty little creature, and every move- ment as lithe and graceful as a kitten, keep- ing not only perfect time to the music, but perfect rhythm, and as light as a feather. "Why, the brat's a born dancer," remarked a man who had paused some pacee off near a dashy West-end looking hansom cab, whoae driyer had pulled up his raiber restive and objecting horse to watch the child. He was a young, good-looking young fellow, and quite a swell sort of cabby." Yes," he answered the man, and it was a pleasant, soft-toned voioe, so she is, but look at the steps and movements; there's a bit of stage dancing there, and no mistake— some teaching. I'll bet she's been in last Christmas panto." Likely enough," returned the other. Perhaps the organ-grinder gives her a copper to d-anoe, seeing a-s how it draws an audience and pence for hisself." L £ aybe. There, he's moving off, and the brat too, so I'll travel. Good day." The little crowd had melted avrav, and the cabman turned south, down a very quiet street running into the next square, holding his horee, still fresh and restively inclined, well into a walking pace, whilst he—the driver—kept his bright eye on the alert for a fare. At present, however, the street was almost deserted, save for one or two ladies who passed him near the top and the little Arab be had been watching-, but at the moment she must have passed by on the pavement he was looking towards the other side. scanning the windows, so that the first he noticed was the child ahead of him. By Jove: I'll just ask the brat about the panto," said the young fellow to himself; and his horse, perhaps feeling the reins slightly slackened, made a sort of start forwards to cruicken his pace. "No, you don't, Charlie, boy!" apostrophised his master, giving the reins a sharp pull up. Ila' Good God!" for suddenly the left-hand ribbon snapped asunder, doubtless at some flaw, about two feet from the bit. and the horse, feeling the restraint gone, instantly started forward for a bolt. A hansom cab driver's perch is at its baet an unsafe seat., and without the controlling reins he is, of all drivers, perhaps, the most helplessly at the mercy of his horse if it bolts. No one was in the quiet street just then but that one girl-child, a few paces ahead, and the man saw at once that he had to faoe in the next few seconds a frightful crash, and, perhaps, a sudden, terrible death. But almost at the moment the horse sprang forward, swaying the cab, even then the little Arab, daring, obvious of her own danger, had darted into the road, caught the dangling bit of rein in both handa, and hung on to it wil-h desperate tenacity. Charlie's career was instantly arrested by the-weighit at 1i1B head, dragging it down, and which even his angry attempt to rear could not ?is ge. He had not much chance for a battle royal certainly, for in the moment his bolt was so daringly axrerted, the driver, tall, slight, and active, had swung from his perilous perch, and seized the struggling horse's head with a powerful grasp, thait quickly forced Charlie to recognise a master, and stand still trembling and cowed, as if a trifle ashamed of his escapade—ae well he might be. The child had loosed her hold directly the driver seized the off-rein, and now, still hold- ing it fast, the young fellow turned to her. You plucky little thing," he said, huskily. The brute might have knocked you down, and killed you. Are you hurt?" Lor', no sir. thank ye. Only pulled my daddies and anna a bit; but you'd ha' been smashed dead as dead if he'd bolted on," said the child, with a shiver. I see he wor restive like when I was a-dancing." You've sa-ved my life, lit tie 'tin, and no mistake," said the man. "I never did see such a plucky little girl, and-etop a minute till I mend the ribbons. Oa-tch hold of this. That's it," as the child obeyed, observing, I often 'olde hoases for people." A few passers-by had paused curiously and grazed, but seeing no signs of injury had gone on. The driver meanwhile knotted the broken rein, and i a shed it over strongly with string, so that he could safely trust the reins till he could get the job properly done. Ah," he said, still busy; "and yoU'Te been in the panto, too, ain't you? You was dancing so pretty." Oh, I loves dancing, Cracky! Don't I just!" exclaimed the child enthusiastically, her great dark eyes sparkling. Taa, I wor in the panto, last CSiris'm's." I was most sure of that, kidabby, when I see you. How old are you, eh—eight, ten?" I dunno, sir, 'bout that there, I s pose," said she, with a pretty amile that showed a glint of white teeth, Is them reins done, then? For now the driver replaced string and knife in his pocket and wae searching there for something else. Yes, I've done, and you cam let go Charlie's head. I've got the ribbons. Come round to me—here's—no, bother, that's not the one I wanted—a Tommy Dodd,' too, it is," quickly replacing the smooth old sixpence by a larger ooin 'bright and new. There's a new bob, little 'un." "Oh, sir, thank yon! You. is kind!" ex- claimed the waif, gazing in wondering delight at the coin in her pretty, dirty hand-the largest coin probably she had ever yet pas- sessed. "I never did 'now-ø. new bob! Oh, my eye!" Cabby laughed, patted the curly, unkempt head of chestnut locks, and aeked what she would do with it. Git some nioe tommy," said the small Arab promptly; "a pork pie and jam tart, p'raps. Not a ha-p'th o' fly bolster to-day." Duff for to-morrow then, eh? Good-bye, then, you pretty little Dancing Doll." With a light smile and nod he mounted to his seat and drove off. Looking back at the end of the street, he saw the child dancing along round the corner. Poor mite!" he said half aloud. "And so pretty and intelligent. Well, there's some- thing to tell mother of to-night; there'd have been a dinger for you but for that brat's pluck,-you bet, Frajak Manners." This was about two o'clock, and the child, being doubtless hungry, made her way to a third-rate shop-street not far off, and bought a penny loaf aaid a pennyworth of cheeae (an I extravagajit dinuer thus expending her only copper. The food she boon consumed, sitting under the arehwjy into a mews. Perhaps she wished to enjoy the rare sense of possession of riches for a few hotirs longer by reserving her feaet for euBper. for it was dark- before I the little Dancing Doll betook herself, being I then in the Strand, to a side street wherein was a certain cookshop, into the window o! which she had cffcen hopeleldy gaxed, being & cut above <htS pudd'n or its current 1 variety of ny baftter.- It requimd man J oocrMW m the mvcà m?? zagzxl ratt-iing good shop than to dash at and hanzo on to the nose of a, plunging horae; but at length she did push open the door. Hulloa! what's for you?" said the man behind the counter, suspiciously, as the street Arab boldly advanced, clutching her wealth. Please, sir, I wante one o' them pork pies and a jam turt." Where s your money?" said the man, gruffly, not at all liking such a customer; but he came round the counter ready te reach the dainties indicated from the win- dow. Let's see if you've got enough, child! Mr. Martin was a hard, gruff sort of man, but he had, doubtless, cause for suspicion. "Them street brats," he would say, truly enough. are the veriest imps for prigging and tricks—the gals is the worsest." Eight again; he had suffered from the street Arab tribe more than once, and this one was not going to fciiatch the pies and run off; no, pay first. The Dancing Doll held out the new bob" with a superb air that was inimitably comio. There, sir, and mnap'nc-s change out, please, eir," said she. prrandly. her big brown eyes looking up proud and straight to lus faoe. He took the shilling wit-h a surprised "-h ew" looked at it, and rang it on the counter twice. young limb!" he said, roughly turn- ing on the child, whose thin, hollow cheek had gone white as death. "It's just a flash coin, and you're one of a reg'iar gang, you. little thief. Here. George!—George. I say-" "I ain't a thief!" cried the child in sudden wild terror and indignation. I ain't a gang. A cahbjr give me the bob-he did." Shut up you! I won't be done again i. one week. I'll make a example this 'ere time. Go for a p'liceman. Georgs. Slick's the word." No. no, no! Oh, don't fetch the copper," sobbed the poor little creature, flinging out her hands frantically. I ain't a thief. It Vior give me. 'Ds.ed it wor." Shut up them lies, will y.r? Cabbies tin't quite so rich as to chuck shillings at the like of you. Here they are." The city Arab shrank back instinctively at the sight of her natural enemy, the "copper," who, tall and stolid, now heard Martin's statements, and examined the coin, which the man had broken in half. It's flash, and no mistake." said the con- stable. There's a gansr of smashers now wanted as lias lately circulated a pile of ewellish coin, What 'ave yon got to say, young un? Where did you get this bob?" The child's sobs bad ceased, and she stood awaiting her fate, fiercely sullen. A hansom cabby give it me, for gtoppin' of his hor»e boltin' ehe said. shortly. Bobby looked down with sardonic amuse- ment on the slight childish figure. You're a. big 'nn. ain't you, to stop a boltifi horse?" said he. drily. "And Jehu-richer than me. You'll have to come along o' me to the station, anyhow, and you. too, Mr. Martin, if you gives her in charge." Poor Dancing Doll' The grateful fellow who so dubbed her had little guessed the trouble his scrvice wou;d bring on its recipient, or that that night she sobbed her- self to sleep on the hard pallet in a police cell. So the next morning poor little Margaret, the pretty "Dancing Boli," was brought up at Bow-street and duly charged. She told her story simply, apd the magistrate finally remanded her for a week; but to the work- house. begging the press to mention the case, so that the alleged cabman might perhaps see it and come forward. When the Dancing DoH was once mora placed in the dock. Martin, the prosecutor, quite stared—so transformed was the child by cleanliness, decent, if rough, dress, and wholesome food for a week. She looked prettier than ever, and smiled brightly, too, as she dropped a curtsey grace- fully to the magistrate. "Well, little girl, and have you been a good child this week—eh. policeman? What is the report ?" "Very docile, your worship. The matron gives her a very good character; but we haven't yet found the cabdriver she SIMra gave-" There he was interrupted by a slam at the door, and & sadden, jrttseionate cry -of joy from Margaret. "That's him '-that*s him as give me the bob!" and stretched both hands eagerly towards the superior, good-looking young fellow who made his way in, followed by an elderly woman. "Yes, it's me," he said aloud, nodding to her; then iatantly addressed Sir William, respectfully doffing his felt hat. "Please, your worship, I've come to speak for the child, if you'll allow me." "Certainly, my man. Step into the witness- box." Every eye followed the tall, alert figure as Prank Manners obeyed, his colour coming for a minute under such hre of eyes; but he kept his own -bright, honest eyes on the magistrate as he spoke: "I only read the report of this to-day, sir. I don't usually see much of the daily papers- only Sundays; and I often don't read the police news at once—so I only read it this morning. I'd have been here, sir, by ten. only I had a longish fare, and couldn't." "You are quite in time. Is the prisonges story true?" "Every word, sir." said Frank, emphatically, and there was a subdued little burst of applause in court; "it was the pluckiest thing I ever see. Me and the cab would have been smashed if she hadn't caught and hung on to the horse. I'd brought a fare from Park-lane to the Midland, and I think that shilling, sir, was part of his fare, but I ain't sure. I give you my word, I hadn't an idea it was flash, or I'd never have passed it- least of all to this poor mite. She's as innecent as a baby of the charge, and I can't say how sorry I am that I've got her into this." "You are in no fault at all. and I am very glad to at once discharge the prisoner. I only rrg-rat that I can only do that, there. being no immediate way "Please sir. pardon me interrupting you." said Manners, eagerly, "but we—my mother and me—will take charge of the child if ebeTl come along. It's all I can do for her." If!- the child's face was answer enough. "Do you live with your mother, or are yow. married?" asked Srr William. "I'm not, sir. I support my mother, but I can keep the little one too, and my mother will treat her like her own; she s in court, sir. "My good fellow, I don't doubt you. and I am very glad," smiling, "your little 'Danc- ing Doll' has found such good friends. I hope she will prove grateful." There was an irrepressible lyatst of applause ?anded over to hoi- as Margaxet was quickly handed over to her new friend, to ride in a hansom oa.b for tha first time in her life. to a humble but good home—for the first time also. "And you shall be a real dancer, too, if you like, dear," eaid Frank Maimers thaz evening. Ten years later the prettiest dancer at the —- Theatre was Mademoiselle Marguerite, the second dauseucze, and as good a girl as she was pretty and graceful. From child to girl either Mrs. Manners or Frank have fetched her from wherever she danced. By this time between their joint savings Frank is quite a cab proprietor in a moderate way; but he is still single, and even unengaged— till one Sunday evening, when after church, he a.nd pretty Margaret are waiting supper in the parlour for the dear "mother," who ia on the doorstep chatting to a neighbour. "Isn't it just cosy as cosy her, Frank?" says Margaret, smiling up in his bronzed faoe-.op sweet, half-shy sruUe, too. "Very dear. but it still wants one thing," answered Frank, softly; "or rather—I do." "Do you? Why, what?" "Why, to make my 'Dancing Doll' my wife.- Oh, Frank! "She will then, sweetheart?" "Ah, yes." She lifts her face for his kiss, as he whispers tenderly: "I have loved you for years, you know, Margaret. THE END. TO-MOB&OW—" HER ATONEMENT," by FLORA MACDONALD.
