had occurred under her own observation AZ
the selling-Of- f-at-less-than-cost store ON Cheap
street.
And then she would hint that there was
| some catch about twenty Eve cent silks or.
Why should he make that clerk 20 away so
quick! But she couldn't fathom il, nor did
she spend any money there, and she advised
her neighbors to 90 to that smaller store on
Fair street where she made her purchases.
and where they kept nice things and did not
make a fuss about il. And then after little
reflection Mrs Green would add, "I thought
they must be very good TO hire those big
stores and sell of their goods for less than
what they cost them, but find they are rs-
ther different from what L expected before L
went in ~
That night when Mr.. Shrewd has retired 10
MS private sitting room, he narrated 20 his
wlte many Of the events Of the day. and the
circumstances concerning the silk But when
he mentioned that Stephen was going 10 leave
them because he was too honest TO do as the
other clerks did, Mrs. Shrewd expostulated
with him, and tried 70 persuade him TO engage
In some business that did not require such
desperate measures to make il successful
Why, what more harm is il for dry goods
merchant to lie than il is for lawyers and-Mr.
Shrewd did not complete the sentence for at
that moment he discovered that the bed-room
door was sjsr and Charley hadn't been in bed
but few moments. And the next day when
his mother reproved him for falsehood. he
replied, why father tells lies-it's no harm. "
Alas. who will be responsible for the hon.
esty of the next generation?

sorts Of people can be suited within an area OF q
