"So it appears, ,'' said James, non chalantlv.
 "What am to think of that ~ "Really, old gentleman, for l haven't the pleasure of knowing your name, you appear to concern yourself considerably in my affairs. May l suggest that don't see any necessity for it.
 Perhaps you will when you know my name"
 All right. Let me know it. -
 ''l am Anthony Wallace.'
 "What.' exclaimed the young man, starting as if he had been shot. My uncle. Are you not dead them
 Il am as much alive as ever l was.
 Il don't understand it," said the nephew, pale with alright.
 Then l will explain. have no others to inherit my property except you and your Cousin John. Not wishing my money to be wasted in extravaganza, and being able to think of no other ordeal, took the course did. To my modification, l find that you have run career of extravaganza and dissipation. l recall the inheritance. and shall make John, of whom hear excellent re- ports, my heir, As for you, l will pay your debts and will allow you twelve dollars a week for three months. During that time, l advise you to obtain situation. After obtaining it l shall watch your course, and if it meets my approval l will give you an income of fifty dol lars month. That is the utmost you need expect. Had things been different, you should have received the fifty thousand dollars which is but one-half of my property.'
 James Wallace's modification was extreme, but he had no one to blame but himself. His cousin re- ceivcd the inheritance, of which he made a worthy and noble use, and has since inherited the balance of his entire property. James is still a clerk on small salary.-C Horatlo Alger, Jr., in Yankee Blade.
