Cashiers. that tgalo was very dull,-ab-
normally 80, wien tho season Ia taken
into consideration. THO demand for diseounts
was unusually light. Dcpositors betrayed
no anxiety whatever, and the calls for currency
from the country banks were exceedingly light.
A few $4,000 packages were sent out, and como
smaller sums were ordered, aggregatlng In all
not over $l50,0W, all unusually small SUN
in the midst OF all exceptionally good harvest.
Letters from Mtnhcauta anu WISCONSIN bankers
stated that the ta1lntss were unwilling to dis
p1sc OF thntr wlcAt at present prices, and, Until
they feel disposed to do 70. there will be ycry
little currency required. .

Sixteen years after that day Thord stood
once more in the Parsons study "Thou
keepest on quite well Thord," said the Par
son; he could see no change in him.
"For have no griefs," answered Thord.
To this the Parson said nothing, but after
awhile he asked: "What is thy errand to-
night?"
Tonight have come for my sou. He is
to be confirmed tomorrow.
''He is good boy"
81 would not pay you until I knew what
place he was to have among the other boys"
''He is number one,''
81 hear so, and these ten dollars are for
you."
rs there anything moreb asked the Parson
he looked at Thord."
"No, that is ALL" And Thord went away.

der his feet, gravel and dirt slid down, else
all was still; only the river behind moved on
with low but never-ending roar. Some
way up the cliff leaned forward. Left hung
for a long minute by one hand, sought the
way with his loot but could not see. Many
mostly women-turned away, and said he
would not have done this if he had had
mother or father alive. He found footing,
though, began to grope upward again, first
with the hands. then with the feet, slipped,
slid, but caught hold once more. People
who stood below could hear each other draw
the breath. Then arose tall young girl,
who had sat alone on a stone; people said
that she had given her word to Left long ago,
though he was not of the clan and her par
ents would never give their consent. She
stretched up her arms and cried "Leif, Left,
why is this!' All the people turned towards
her; her father stood close by and looked
sharply at her, but she knew him not "Come
down, Left" she cried, ''for it is 1 who love
thee; up there thou hast nothing to Win."
Lett was seen to halt, bat only Tor mo-
ment; then he went on again. His hand was
strong; his foot was sure; for while he
succeeded well; but midway he began to
waver, and halted often. A small stone came
rolling down, and all eyes followed it to the
bottom, for ii struck them as a forebodng.
Some could bear it no longer and went away.
But the tall girl stood still as If planted on
stone, with the hands clasped over her bosom
and the eyes fixed on the rock. Left groped
with the one hand, but slipped. She saw it.
Then he thrust upward the other hand, but
slipped again. ''Leif." she shrieked so it cut
into the rock. "He is falling" the others
cried, and spread out their arms toward
him. Yes, he was falling. Raising the
sand and earth around him, loosening the
gravel and pebbles in his way, he kept falling
and falling, fast and faster, with the grating
and crashing of torrent, until at last it al
ended with the dull thud of the falling of
heavy load of moist earth.
When people who had drawn back from
the place and turned away their faces, looked
around once more, there he lay, one smoth-
cred mass, never to be owned man any
more. The girl dropped down on the stone,
and was carried away by her father.
The young men who had encouraged Left
to the venture were shy now to touch him;
some of them could not even bear to look at
him. Thus the old men had to do what
was to be done, and the Oldest among them,
said: "This is very sad. "But, perhaps" he
added after a while, looking around. cit is
well that something should hang so high that
not everybody can reach it."

On bank and brake, and without neat 10 iaH
Zen 'gainst the gardens cleaning southern wall;
And colder still it blew. till one bright morn
1t lulled a~ hile upon the spreading tnorn;
The feld-fares bickered at the ruddy haw,
And loud the finches chirruped in the trees:
While nigh o'er all, in blue, thin columns broke
All things shone crisp and cold till from The sea-
Between the east and north rose gradually
great gray woolly cloud, thai grew and grew
Vouminou- till from he ether blue

And wrapt The ghosily garden, tree and bower,
In It's thick folds obscure. Then from on high
To earth slow spiralIng adown the sky,
The flrst great feathery fakes made their way
Til all the garden changed from black to grew
From grey 10 white. Then Iose the wind again
From the fell north and growled against the pane
Ana round the house, and each successive blast
AS the night fell grew stronger thau the last,

In some far bav anear the shining poe.
Gambol in thunder, while the wateSs boil
Around them ike the Maelstrot khirlng COIL
And high to heaven the eheeted foam wreaths toss
SO that strong wind among the feathery floss
