"I don't see what I feel like thief for, :.
he said to himself, impatiently, as he rolled

| By morning, however, he had quite. con-

Before two weeks had passed, he had rea-
| son to feel very uncomfortable about the
matter again. The boys were talking about
leasing a lot on the outskirts. Of the village
and erecting stand from which spectators
could watch match games. and Nelson knew
that if they decided to do this, they would tell
him to pay the rent in advance.
"What would they think if they should
find out that had used the money for some
thing of my own?' he said to himself, flush
ing hotly, as he thought of the disgrace. II

Nelson hesltated.
he did not know any one of whom he
could borrow 80 large sum as twenty dol
lars. But one way in which he could get the
money, unfortunately occurred to his mind,
and he almost reasoned himself into the be-
nse the money which had been entrusted to
his keeping.
He wanted camera so very much. and he
might never have a chance to get such a bar
gain again, and his uncle had always .giver

day present so there could not possibly. be
any danger of his not being able to replace
the money if he borrowed it.
He was the treasurer of the school nine,
and that very day they had held a. business
meeting, and the members had paid in their
dues; SO in Nelson's pocket at that moment,
was money enough to get the camera, and
sufficient, besides, to pay any little expenses
that he might have to meet for the club.
"Ill come back IN few minutes, and let
you know whether / can take it or not" he
said.
And then he slowly walked around the
block, thinking the matter over.
When the thought first found its way into
his mind, he knew that it was not right for
him to touch cent of the money that had
been intrusted to him, as treasurer, for any
purpose of his own, but his anxiety to obtain
the camera quite overbalanced his sense OF
right, and he yielded to the temptation.
1t would never do to let some one else get
this bargain, and no one need know where
he got the money until he had replaced it.
In a few minutes he returned to the store,

be glad enough to take it back and sell it to
some one else, as it was such bargain; l
haven't opened it; so it is just as good as

This plan kept him from being as fright
ened as he otherwise would have been, when
a week later. the boys decided to lease the
lot, and empowered him to pay over twenty
five dollars to the owner as rent in advance
for the first year.
He grew pale, as the storekeeper shook his
.''We couldn't possibly do anything of that
kind, sir; it would be against all our rules"
bly?H pleaded Nelson.
Something in the despairing look on the
boys face touched the mans sympathies, and
he added, more kindly:
is out our usual line of business Ii you bring
me, the outfit, will try to sell it for you,
and not charge you any commission. That is
the very best / can do"
Nelson caught at the hope that even vet he
bring the outfit at once
Ihe next few days were days of intense
anxiety to Nelson. He could think Of M.
thing but the twenty dollars that must he
paid, and he haunted the store to see if the
keeper became annoyed, and told him that
he would not help matters any by watcbine
it all the time. and that as soon as it was snl5
he would send him word. ""' So'o
The last day came all too quickly for NJ,

On the following morning he would re

both of which things seemed equally I'M
possible to him Just then.

his way to bis uncle's house.
AS he had expected, that gentleman was
at home, and met his nephew at the door.
''Why, Nelson, is this you?" he exclaimed
II was just thinking about you. Come in !"
"Could see you a moment alone, please? p"
asked Nelson, as his uncle would have led

Nelson never forgot the half-hour that fol

him, by making light of his wrong-doing.
He told him plainly, though kindly, tina
he had done just the same thing for whic
many young man is serving a term

erty, without his permission, is nothing be-
