Jacobs looked COMPOUNDED. At first he was
strongly tempted TO get angry, and speak out
Il piece Of his mind pretty freely but he res
trained his feelings, and merely remarked IN
a low tone that reached only his debtors

then turned off abruptly and left the store.
Poor Jacobs was terribly disappointed at
this unexpected issue. He had watched all
Of WoodialIs operations with an anxious eve,
counting every dollar he made, and seeing in
his evident prosperity of the money. Now
his fond hope so long cherished, Of recover

in gloom and dependency.
On the next day he met WoodfA!l in the
street and was abou, passing him, when thHi
individual paused, and reaching out his hani,
s1id with the most perfect self possession, as
ifnothing had happened 10 interfere will their
friendly relations-
'Ah, good morning, fiiend Jacobs. How
are you to-day
Jacobs yielded his hand reluctantly, and
replied colliy-'I an WELL
