 Three or four years later Mr. and Mrs Philip Harmon were seated together one evening in their home.
 Another young fellow gone down." said MT. Harmon. "James Rande has been con- victed of that forgery and sentenced. Poor fellow! thought he had very bright pros. poets when we started out together''
 "How has 1t cCme about?" asked Marian.
 "Oh, he was an open-handed, reckless fellow. Always going in for every thing, whether he could afford it or not. By the way, Marian, do you remember that ex- cursion on the lake you went to with me two summers agoa"
 "Yes, very we'll"
 "Do you remember that when we put in to Rocky Cove, you and I and James Rande and Ellen Foster wandered of over the hills and managed to get left, as the steamer went further onr'
 "Yes."
 well, 1t was pleasant enough just where we were, I am sure, and could have stayed there week-with you. you know. The boat was coming back in two or three hours, but If you remember, Ellen got very i'm patient of remaining there, and James pro- posed hiring tug and following"

Marian, put back the money. and the next day there were some investigations made which would have led to the discovery of what ] had done. Mr. Gurney was a hard man honest up to the last degree and inflexible in his dealings with others. If had been found out 1t would have been disgrace More than one poor chap has been ruined for no more cause than that. tell you il scared me and I made up my mind from that time that I'd better be taking the other track"
 70, how glad, glad am," said Marian, in a low voice.
 "Yes, be glad, dear. wish every girl in the world were as wise and as kind as you have been to me."-Sydney Dayre, in Ladies Home Journal.
