plishments--Mary sang and Played fol
her cousin; and his visit ended in singu
lar contrast to the stormy way 1t com
mepced. Edward refused the fve-dol
lar note rendered to him at parting fol
his travelling expenses
Tho old man smiled as no returned
the note to his pocketbook.

the door closed after his guest, "It's
IN him, If it only can be brought out
We shall see, we shall see."
A good deal for father to say" was
Mary's inward comment, who thought
her cousin the most agreeable young
man she had ever met.
Three years later Mr.. Stone and his
daughter paused in front Of a small
but neat pleasant looking shop, on the
plate glass door of which were the
words: Edward Stone, Stationary and
Bookstore"

was the cheerful response. UUrOusly
enough it is the same business that l
wanted to buy then. The man who
took it had to borrow money to pur-
chase it with, getting so much involved
that he. had to sell at sacrifice
"Just what you wanted to DO"
Edward smiled at the point made by
his uncle.
"lt isn't what I've done though. I've
saved four dollars q week from my sal
ary for the last three years; and so was
not only able to pay the money down
but had fifty dollar! besides"

Edward did not fail to accept the in
vitation so frankly extended--a very
pleasant intimacy growing up between
the three during the twelve months that
followed. Oar herO's business grew and
prospered until he began to think of re-
moving to larger place. His uncle
had given him several liberal orders, as
well as sent him number of customers,
but said nothing more about assisting
him in any other way until Christmas
eve, Entering the room where Edward
and his daughter were sitting, he said;
" ! mustn't delay any longer the little
