Isaacs, though often ready to as she whiiipered more than once to Rachel, never lagged for moment, but eame up smiling at approach of every new friend; while liana, after flabby hand regarded the visibly with a geeintilly dieirsetta eye. It was fortunate for the harmony of the day that Mr. Mike Myers did net mike Ids appearance. Leon's happiness was not without its cloud. He parteulaly initial his father to appear in an amiable mood on this day, and it vexed him to observe that Solomon hates took no pains to make himself agreeable to their friends.

Come along 'cone, and gft to hod: Isaacs here gave a lurch, and fell his kingth upon the herb, where he lay for a moment or two, gazing at a muddy redaction of himself in the gutter. It was not without dculty that he was raised to his feet again, and supported home and all the time he never ceased from reiterating his conviction that Moses Levy had secret hoard of money, adding that it would be worse for bun if such was not the case.
Mrs. had idea of the meaning of them mutterings Solomost lasses had said many a lately that she had given tip all hope of lag him, and at times she was haunted by the fear that the man was going out of his mind. She was frightened to confide in anyone. for her husband the enictest secreey upon her, hinting darkly that if a soul to the world suspected soy. thing, it wooild be the ruin of declaration which threw no light upon the mystery, and only added to her uneasiness.
From all this it may be Inferred that Solomon Loses had a Kong which be deemed it wise to keep to himself. What that secret was will presently be revealed. In the mean time, the courtship of Rachel and Leon programed famously, and it appeared as if, for once, the proverb that the of true love love never did rue smooth was shoat to be TheLyeang people went out and visited together, and Leona every spare hour was spent in Rachel's company. Re began to save for the modest home; such tithing as a house was out of -the question; they would commence their married life in lodgings in Spiteldelds, where itachera father and his own parents could cane and spend oomfortablieey with their children. In this way, gladdened hopes, few happy weeks penal, a rumour began to be circulated in couneetiou with Solomon Isaacs which made all his acquaintances excitedly interested in him, and the verification of which caused the good boat Trite Love to drift into troubled waters.
CmArras VII. HOW SOLOMON MACE 01111 .11.101. The rumour which so excited Solomon I.asos' neighbours and sossalutruiceo was that he had made his fortune. It was fact. Solomon Isaacs was a rich man.
He was an old.clo' man, as Moses Levy was, but he had divan shrewder bargains, and, by PO doing, had, little by little, saved smell sum of money. It was hard work at first hard work. In each eirenmstanese it behoves one to be careful and merit. If your poor Wends know you have little money put by, they will be sure It weal to borrow of you. Solomon Isaacs had no desire to be worried, and the first Awe-pound note ha saved he sewed in the band of his trousers.
In mares of time second was added, and a third, and as he plodded through the streets on cold days, the knowledge that he was walking money.bos kept him warm. So be went on from year to year, until one day, with fear and tramblies, be invested his sayings in a foreign Mock which he believed had reached its lowest ebb. He sacred tortures for mouths, dazing which the cinch still farther decreased in value, and he could not realise, even at a lON, LIAO looney he had in. seated; but he waited, ant suffered, and bided his time, eoulianing his okbelo' pursuit 'steadily all the time, until a tarn in the market took place, and the shares began to rise. He watched them rising higher sad higher, and when they were quoted at three times the price he had paid for them he sold them: He wal an eccentric man, but having an enormout organ of secretive.
nese, he concealed his ceceutriciues from human eyes, and with the money in his hand he went to his bedroom, while Mrs. Isaacs was out marketing, and spreadial it upon the bed. actually danced and rimmed before it, waving his arms, and his timers in defiance of the world. It was his fetish he bowed before it, and his eyes sparkled, and his features worked triumphantly, and he jumped Meat the mom till he was tired and sobered down. His wild fit at an end, lie pocketed the money, buttoning his pocket tightly, and walked about itallields in bumblebees, complabling of the hardness of the times.
Within a week he re' Invested his money in another commis of which he had reason to think well. The result of his second venture was almost as fortunate as that of his first, and old Solomon who, it must be confessed, did not know the letter A from a bells foot, saw spread before him a clear avenue to fortune. But not even to his wife did be whisper word of his good lock not soul should know it till the proper time, 004 a soul. Like many another gambler, he was supers', itiour and he feared that, If he confided in say one, things would go wrong with him. He ventured again, and again he won.
Seeress made him bolder. and he began to lend money to tanks. manand others, emetly. When he launched into this new phase of speculation he grew more mistime than ever, and more humble in his demeanour, always complaining to Moses Levy of the bard times, saying that the clothei Meioses was going to the dogs, and that he did not know what Clung. 'were coming to.
In this way he pot everybody of the scent and good luck pursued him. Omer. trinity threw in his way an affair which, requiring more than ordinary prudence and shrewdness. lid Solomon Isaacs into the very lap of Fortune. It is not neesseary to give particulars of this bedew ft was no worse than many another, the traumetces of which, having full parses, are held In honour by the world; and, like many another, a second person was concerned in it, who at a sudden and critical time was cony eniently not to be found.

They Immediately set the law in motion, and took steps to ham him la Workload (best to pet it politely) on his arrival at his destiaatioa. No; how was it that this proceeding reached Solomon Isaac's ewe, and why did it have such an effect upon him that be slat himself up in his bedroom, and wept and tore at the small quantity of hair on his head of which Time had not yet robbed him In the quietude of his chamber he did this, and what be mourned in sackcloth and ashes, the walls were the only witnesses of the pitiable spectacle.

Into the shop of this red-eyed Irishman, who was popularly known the Vampire, did Solomon Isaacs betake lammed, end them and then offer his old-clo' beg for sale as ram asking so much pound for it. The two men communed to haggle. What passed between them is not known, but presently Solomon Isaacs came out of the shop with a flaming face, clasping his old.clo' bag with trembling hands, muttering, I'll keep it, the Irish thief I wouldn't sell it 'ha if he went down on 'is knees to And some other words to the elfeet that the Vampire after driving hard bargain for the bag, after beating him down to the last farthiag, had tried to pass it bad half peunj upon hint The Vampire, following Solomon Isaac. to the door of his Shop, attacked him with such violence that crowd assembled, who listened with delight to the compliments exchanged between the two.
Bad language U.S used, the record of which can be dispensed with, and Solomon Imacs retired to his Englishman's castle In a At of great indignation. Wien ha declared that he would keep hie obi do' hag he spoke the tank. He made no further adapt to dispose of it. Throwing it to hie wife, he bared her to burn it, or do anything else she liked with it. Before two minutes had elapsed, the whole neighbourhood rang with the news that folly they and the Vampire bad had a desperate row, and, as it was the breathingtime of the day, the residents were prepared to enjoy the excitement.
Mrs. Simons, Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Lilienthal, 'and a number of other intimates, rushed from their houses into the street, and discussed it with animated gestures and eager tongues, while the Vampire raged and stamped in front of his dale, uttering dreadful imprecations, and challenging Solomon Imam to COMO On and have it man.
If his allusions had been confined to the object of his wrath, the neighbours would have listened to them with enjoy meat and satisfaction; but as they affected the general body of the Hebrew community, it was not long before the Vampire found himself pitted against 600111 or two of indig. naut neighbours, whose nerves were quivering at the insults burled against their religion by the irate This sailed him exactly; he was In his element; and very soon all Spitalfields was in a ferment. Never 'was a call to arms more eagerly responded to. Ghia and boys swarmed, as though by magic, in immense numbers; men ten from their roonie with their shirtsleeves tucked up; women joined the throng with their seesaw their bands; the click of the sowing was suspended; borrows were left to take owe of themselves; the policeman, for whom such excitements had no joys, strolled pensively from the battle-field to enjoy the sweets of repose; first and second floor windows were thrown up, necks were craned to the utmost tension, and verbal defiance" flung in every direction. It was a curious feature in this ebullition of feeling that it was the direct means of stirring up personal animations which had loom been peacefully slumbering, and which had nothing whatever to do with the particula point at isms.
You may imagine the scene; the perfect Babel of sound; everybody quarrelling with body; the red faces, the talons gesticulation; the running from one to another the unintelligible and deeply interesting explanations; and at its proper stage (all the feel being burned) the gradual oor down of the volcano, the shutting of the era and second floor windows, the dropping of of the exhausted combatants to look after their hoes. bold affairs, the melting away of the boys and girls, the return of the policeman, the excited exit of the Vampire into his shop, and the small group of seighbours left standing in the middle of the road still endeavouring, with pertinacons cariosity, to arrive at some nuderstanding of the matter. One fact this small and devoted band did elicitthat the quarrel arose during the of a bargain between Solomon Lilacs and the Vampire, In of which the Vampire had attemstioi to pass a bad halfpenny upon the old-do' demise.

Solomon Isaacs, however, did not make his appearance, being, as we know, very busily employed in calcuist ling his tithes gad Moses Levy and Rachel sat madly silent, he pretending to be bay with his Hebrew book, and dm quietly employed in her waistcoat making.

Solomon Isaacs, despite the attention he lavished upon himself and his penonal found time to watch the pewees of the game, and thought, "Ow badly Rachel Levy badly she plays l' She did play badly she hardly knew what she was doing.
Her eyes were so dim that she could hardly tell hearts from beeillee hearts and diamonds was really the game that was being played in her life just then.
