ssed through Elk
Ice into Broadway,
Rour crowded with pedes
Id vehicles -he mounted
z stone steps in frontof a banh
on the corner, to stop and think,
His brain was in a whirl. The
1 modest check he had handed over
to the broker, with Mr.. Meeker's
letter, In return for which he had
received an insignificant memor,
andum slip, represented practi.
cally all his available assets. Il
that went,-if Meeker proved
faithless, then!
Mechanically, he drew from
his pocket the pledge Meeker
had given him the previous even
ing, and, a. he read it, with deep
and labored breathing, his panic
Iabated and confidence returned.
He folded it up, with extreme
care. and re-deposited it in his
rest pocket. Then, all hot as he
was, he buttoned up his frock
coat and walked leisurely up
town as far as Fourteenth Street.
That forenoon walk, fighting his
way through the crowds, but
fighting a tenfold fercer battle
in his own breast, was one to be
long mbered.
1t was late in the afternoon,
when Mr.. Cherrival returned to
Sparville. At the station, he
caught glimpse of Mr.. Meeker,
as the latter was driving away
with a friend who had accom-
panied him, on his return from
the city, on the same express.
See Finck 2" cried Silas, in
passing.
Yes.
Did, eh ? That's good This
latter he shouted over his shoul-
ers, in response to Mr.. Cherri-
val's nod
The village parson walked
home with a more hopeful feel
ing. At Meeker's words, few
though they had been, his de-
preston vanished wholly. Il was
the turmoil and hustle of Broad
Street that had upset him. he
concluded, nothing else; justa
little Of the nervous fever Incl
dent to a first experience in spe-
culation. He would soon gel used
to 1t, he felt sure. Besides, he
would not need to go back to
town until it was all over. No one
at home would be the wiser.
That night, after the usual
simple evening service which
Pastor Cherrival never omitted,
and when the girls had kissed
papa and slipped upstairs, the
good man felt a lump of com
junction sticking in his throat,
as his eyes sought his wife's face.
Never before. in his whole mar
ried life, had he held a secret
from her for moment, and he.
felt like a guilty man. Why
should she not share with him
the precious knowledge of their
coming good fortune? Besides,
IOh, the selfishness of man he.
could stand the strain easier if
he shared it with her; he knew
he could. Mr.. Meeker had said
