BORROWED" MONEY.
The Good Things One Wise, Kind
Girl Did

Mr. MoreM was reading In the evening
paper 10 MS wife and daughter.
Here's surprising thing. Robert Har-
vey under arrest
Robert Harvey" exclaimed Marian, in
an amazed tone.
Under arrest" said Mrs. Moren. quite
a. much surprised a. her daughter. FOR
whatr'
"Embezzlement At least that's the po-
lite name given 10 such things. The plain
Eagish Of IL is simply that he has been
stealing from his employers"
Il can't believe it, said Marian.
He certainly Is the last person Of whom
we could expect 10 hear such thing,n said
her mother
That IS true" said Mr. Morell al
always supposed him TO be faithful re-
liable young man"
Il don't ike 20 believe il until I hear
more" said Mrs. Morell. There must De
some mistake about It. Why have known
his mother almost all my life and would
almost as soon expect one OF my own bows
10 go wrong as hers. IL VIII surely break
her heart"
II viii inquire into the matter to-mor-
row" said Mr. MorelL
Aud on the following evening the first
question was:
What have you heard OF Robert Har-
veyr'
We'll, the newspaper account Of the
matter is substantially correct-enough so
al least 10 cast blot upon poor Roberts
character, which will probably cling to it
for life. He has simply, for two or three
years past, been IN the habit OF helping
himself 10 small sums Of money from the
safe Of his employer, always in the hope OF
returning II, but. as is sure 10 be The case,
always getting deeper and deeper II. I've
known of others who did exactly the same
thing, without a thought OF being dis
honest. They go on, d-ding 1t harder and
harder 70 make restitution, and at length
discovery comes, sometimes resulting, as
in Roberts case, IL Olsgrace and arrest,
sometimes in loss of situation and ruin or
prospects. OF course, there are very few
employers who have the magnanimity TO
overlook such a thing and give a young
fellow another chance
But what has Robert been doing with
the money!" asked Mrs MoreH
Nobody seems exactly 10 know. He has
not gamDled, he has not speculated, he has
not been extravagant in any special way,
30 far as l can learn. He appears simply 10
have lived a little beyond his means"

very fond Of society and goes out great
deal Aud you know young fellow can
not 90 that without spending"
Young fellows should rot spend moro
than they honestly can spend" said Mr.
Moreu.
"Of course not, father. But can't help
seeing how hard it. must be for them 70
know where 70 stop. Ii has got 70 be the
fashion, when q young man takes a young
lady out, 70 send her flowers, ana as likely
as not a carriage, too. It's lectures AID
concerts and receptions IN winter. aud boat
rides aud picnics and ice creams N sum-
mer One thing seems 10 lead 10 another,
and how can one stand back from doing
what the others dol They get into IL with
out meaning it, you see. II Is expected Of
them"
/ 1T is al wrong" said Mrs. Morell, shsk-
Ing her head
Il think so too" said Marian, ''but what
! can be done about ia Must young man
kee . out Of society,"
That would be rather hard on them"
| said ner mother. MANY or them are JUST
1 such fun-ioving, generous fellows as Robert
, Harvey, ready % run into things without
stopping TO count the cost. T. is great
/ pity that they can not indulge their
natural taste for the society OF each other,
and q nice, good girls, without being led
iato such embarrassmeuts. And / do
think. Marian. that these same nice. good
girls might DO great deal 70 correct the
matter"
