possibility decided HIN against the pru-
Dental evasion he had for moment
contemplated. There was no help for it !;
he would have to go himself. But now
that John was gone, he knew not where,
from whom could he obtain the neces-
sary means? Why, from the pawnbroker,
Of course. Strange that he had not
thought before Of everybody's uncle"
who would certainly advance him a
handsome sum upon his superb Jergen-
sen watch, a present to him from his
father. That happy thought so far light
ened the gloom of the situation that he
went to his bed in measurable content
and slept the sound sleep of weary
youth.
Early in the morning he proceeded to
test his new resource and was not dis
appointed. The pawnbroker let him
have $500, and the young man resolved
that after this final night of fashionable
dissipation, in which he would be as
economical as he becomingly or prudent
ly might, the remainder Of the sum
should be so carefully husbanded that it
would give him subsistence for weeks
to come, until he found some occupa-
tion.
Remembering that the buttons of his
dress coat showed signs of wear, he
bought new set, intending himself to
replace with them the old ones, and
with this purpose in view went directly
home. Needles and black silk thread he
already had.
Carrying the coat over his arm, he
opened the communicating door from
his little hall room to his friend larger
and warmer apartment, where he pur.
posed doing his amateur tailoring, but
upon the threshold stopped as if para
lyzed by establishment. The room al
ready had tenant, very pretty girl,
who sat sewing near one of the win
dows. She looked up at his entrance, but
without apparent surprise said "Hellol"
and went on with her work.
