crossed the street and dIs4ppeared-
Within ave MINUTES he retarued,

of the coverted stock.
Keep it rs quiet as you can, Mr..
Algernon," he said. And remem-
Der one good turn deserves another. T"
l had barely time to thank him.
l thirsted to be away upon the
wings of friendship to tell Charley
Martindale of bis good luck; on the
strength of which we dined together.
Mex. morning I had hardly been
seated in my Office ten minutes when
Uncle Fred's jovial tones were heard
with touch Of dismay in them.
"Who has been buying all these
Goojerats p And if I did not know
that Uncle Fred objects to profane
language, I can almost swear he
said d" darned Goojerats."
ct bought them" I cried in tri-
umph. " For Mr.. Martindale
you will not find them entered"
"Bless my SOUL" said Uncle Fred; !;
but he made no further public COM
ment on the matter. He came to
my desk, and lowering his voice,
asked me how it came about; and
quietly listened while I, nothing 10th,
narrated the story of my success.

In quarter of an hour he was

much are they better?"
"Better ?" answered Uncle Fred.
"Thsy are down five this morning;
and I could only sell third of them.
Your young friend will lose all his
money"
"That is very AWKWARD" re-
marked.
awkward is very good word, "
said my uncle, with a genial smile.
"a very useful word indeed, AL
gernon, in our business"
The upshot of the affair was that
before Uncle Fred could close the
cursed Goojerats, the whole of
Charley Martindale's five thousand
pounds disappeared. And to Mr..
Bacon's credit as man of business,
it should be said that he transferred
the property to me at its zenith,
whence it gradually declined until
it was utterly without value of any
kind.
My senior suggested that I should
cease to act in the department Of
buying and selling. 1 was a little
indignant at the notion. and ex-
planned that my uncle hardly looked
at the matter with his usual acute
ness. We had lost no money by the
