How pretty he thought her as she was
speaking! Her delicate, hig!i-b bred face,
with its pure coloring, and soft, besecch-

thus warmly defended her friend, Frank
Florence thought with throb OF manlike
selfishness. that this girl had loved him,
perhaps loved him still, AMI that in her
heart he could find refuge from all the
storms Of the outer world.
All night, in his old room. he dreamed
Of the far-away days of his youth, of slit-
tie Chipp," Of Dora, of their games to-
getber and of their school-days.
Then. when the morning sun glanced in
through the curtainless windows and par
tally awakened him. he dreamed that il
was his school-time. and that his brother
opened the door on his way to the factory
and cried:
"Up with yon, lazy bonesr'
That good. kind voice, too real for n
dream. made him start up and open his
eyes wide.
There stood Florence, watching him af-
fectionately. and whose joy at seeing his
brother again found expression in the old
words

PETER cooPERs ILLUSTRATION.
How Hs Cured n Merchant OF the Habit
OF borrowing at Ruinous Rates.

Mr.. Cooper was always careful
and prudent business man. He was

many merchants, who launched out IN
exiravagant enterprises on borrowed
money, for which they paid exorbitant
rates of interest. Once, says the n.

would-be borrower.

"Of course will," said the mer.

"Yery well," said Mr.. Cooper, "jusi

three years, and give me your check

"But where is the money fer me?"
asked the astonished merchant.
"You don't get any money" was the
reply. "Your interest for thirty-siS

therefore. your check for $500 just
