SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

While war with Great Britain would
be a serious matter, it would not be en-
tirely without its compromising fea-
lures In the very nsture OF things the
South American republics would all
aympathizs with the United States in
its conflict for q principle Of such vital
Importance to them. Again, it could
not but tend greatly to the promotion of
commercial intercourse between these
republics and the United States to the
detriment of England. A war with
Great Britain would shut of English
goods from the American market, with
the consequent revival OF industries in
this country.
The loss of English demand for
our products would be compensated by
the greatly increased needs Of the army
and navy at home. Thus as was tho
case at the North in the last war there
would temporarily, at least, be great
revival OF industry and trade to meet
the exigencles OF war. All the vast
energies of the country would be con-
war SUCCESS, and at It's conclusion the
greatly improved relations OF the United
States with the South American repub-
lies would open up vast field for trade
and commerce. which we would be in
position to take advantage of at onoo.
With all our Industries stimulated by
enforced protection, as soon as the war
was over, South and Central America
would be flooded with goods from the
United States aud the commercial
agents of this country would soon be
traversing the entire field with the
Bame energy and industry they now
show in moving from State to State.
Altogether war with England over the
Monroe doctrine might, like the last
civil war, result in the increase OF tho
power and prestige OF this republic and
large and more rapid movement OF the
United States towards the accomplis h
ment OF its manifest destiny"

when his customers tell him they have
not got the cash. he tells them in his
ood-natured way: "Call at my coun-
ter and get 1t, and then buy what you
want" The funny part Of the business
!s that he does just what he says he
will do, and this is how he does 1t: A
customer makes out list Of the things
he wants. 1t Is submitted to the CASH
Ter. The cashier afftxes the price to
each Item, adds up the amount. makes
out a promissory note for the amount,
presents 1t to the customer. the GUS
toner signs 1t, then-without discount
the customer is given the amount in
cash and told to go forth into the store
and buy the goods he has inscribed on
his list. This Tempe grocer has solved
q long-lost problem, one which the groc-
ers will, in all probability, be only too
glad to jump at. 1t gives them a prom

: CHAPTER XII


The trust that Mrs. Dene had put In
Colonel Prinsep was fully justified. His
conduct to Jane during their journey was
as cOldly courteous as she would have
wished. Most Of his time was spent In
the adjoining compartment on the plea
Of wishing to smoke; but he came to the
door Of her carriage at every stopping
place to see If she required anything, and
that she was provided with plenty Of pa
pers and some fruit.
II am afraid l have not done my duty
to my neighbOr," he observed, as he took
q seat, when nearing the end Of their
journey.
THAT all depends" said Jane. "on
where ones duty begins and ends. You
have been very good in getting me papers.
l have not read half of them yet, and the
mangoes were delicious"
Both felt relieved when they reached
their destination. Jane had jumped from
the carriage before Colonel Prinsep could
assist her and had flown to her fathers
side. She took his big brown hand in her
own. and clasped it as though she would
never let 1t go.
Mr.. Knox was a little bewlldere6,
though fattered ut his daughters delight
! at seeing him again. in spite of the con-
trast he must afford to those with whom
she had been. He looked down at her
with critical fondness. Was it possible
In spite of the rnpturous letters they had
received from her every day, that she
had not been happy with her fine friends
But when COlenel Prinsep came up he
forgot these doubts in seeing his evident
consideration for Jane and attention to
her wants. And the child accepted hi,
civilities with such easy grace.
Little mink! She has inherited this
self-possession from her mother, whose
proper pride, as she herself calls 1t. is
generally equal to the most embarrass ssing
occasions" For his part it was as much
as he could do to keep his legs In an en- sy
attitude. and he had even more difficulty
In refraining from giving a military So.
lutte to his colonel, although in plain
clothes.
To escape from what he felt to be nm
uncomfortable situation he moved away
toward the luggage-van, staggering in
his walk the more nOticeably that he was
not entirely at his ease, Jane looked
after him, and Stephen Prinsep looked al
her.
A moment later their eyes had met, and
Jane seemed to guess instinctively the
reason of his former imperturbability.
1t was not because he did not care. but
because he cared too much.
And Colonel Prinsep? He saw that she
had surprised his secret in the same in.
slant as he had realized that he had q
secret to be concealed.
After answering at random her father 9
questions for about ten minutes, the
knowledge that they were nearing home
