''Hush, Dita,'' said Mamie, rather SOL

my career were about to commence"
"But you are so clever and I am so
foolish, cried Mamie, sobbing.
Andrew, kindly patting her shoulder,
went on: 1--WE shall have between ten
and twelve thousand a-year, and there is
very large sum Of ready money, with
which my Door brother had intended to
buy an estate in the country, and settle
down as and English squire.''
Mamie raised her head, and dried her
eyes.

very clever; he knew when to buy, and
when to sell. The income we shall en-
iov comes from the large estates he has
bought-great sheep farms; and these
are in very trustworthy hands, in which
he always meant to leave them when he
came home"

but his thoughts were in such a whirl,
and he was already building such castles
in the air, that he scarcely took in the
tervor of her words.
Dita, longing to tell the news first to
some one, had slipped off Nannie's knee,
and flown into the shop to Jaques.
Some one was buying book, and she
had to stand impatiently waiting till the
customer was gone; then she climbed on
to the counter, and began her story.
"Father no more shop-we all going
away to live with ducks and the daisies"
Jacques looked bewildered as we'll he
might.
''Going away, MISS he repeated.
"What do you mean?'
"We rich-quite rich. and live with
the ducks and daisies; and Fluff have
silver bell, and you have new fiddle
with paint all over it,
Jaques shook his head, and went on
folding up the books that he had sold in
neat parcels, and directing them with a
pen which he took from behind his ear.
She was accustomed to his going on with
his business while she talked, and had just
begun: ''YOu must come, too, JaQuY,"
when Andrew came into the shop, and
briefly told Jacques what had happened;
he was touched by the lads manner;
Jaques' eyes filled with tears, and he
seized his masters hand. saying earn
estly-
"God bless you, sir, wherever you go!
you have been good master to me-"
A gentleman came into the shop and
asked for rare edition of "Dante."
Andrew did not quite know where it was.
but Jacques knew every book on the
shelves, and produced the copy required.
This was no time for sentment-this
busy time of year-the middle of the
London season.
Mamie went about her work with her
heart so full that row and then the large
tears rolled down her cheeks; she kept
telling herself how glad and thankful
she ought to feel, and what jov this
new wealth would be; but the RESPONSE
bility seemed to outweigh the JOY, and
her unfitness for such responsibility made
her dread it beyond measure.
When Andrews last customers were
gone, he leant YEARLY against the
counter, while the ever-actve Jaques
was putting up the shutters.
Il shall not sell another book, Jaques."
he said.
Jacques eyes opened wide.
''Not one; those that remain will form
the commencement of library for me-"
"Oh, master, master!' cried Jacques,
in an agony; why did you let that
Dante go?"
Il was fool!'' cried Andrew, striking
his hand on the table; ''but I am be-
wildered and tired, Jaques, and it is al
ways in my head
at never heard d passion so confused
So strange, outrageous, and so variable,
AS the dog Jew did utter in the streets.
My ducats-O my brother-O my ducats
First one, then t'other, I am up and
down with JOY and grief like buckets in
a we'll. To morrow, Jaques we will write
up that the shop is closed"
