the next morning, in ample time to catch the boat train for Southampton, seemed reasonably clear evidence that he had found the chap" and acquit- ted his indebtedness There was fur ther confirmation in his high spirits, which, despite a painfully sprained wrist and a court-plastered abrasion of the knuckles of his right hand, made him almost juvenile
 On the way across. he explained to his companion, in detail, the concep- tion and encompassment of his. to him at least, clever and praise-worthy scheme of financial rehabilitation. and was surprised and not a little disap- pointed to discover that, while she ap- preciated its ingenuity, she was far from according it her approval. He learned indeed, that she was pos sessed of a scrupulousness of con- science that found no more excuse for commercial adroitness than for burglary or highway robbery.
 Its my training. suppose" she ex plained. II was brought up on the rule, It is a sin to steal pin and I can't see any exceptions to it.'
 Her views. just then at all events, had a prodigious weight with young Fultener, and he began to question whether to be the son of his father was to achieve the eminence of worth he had hitherto fancied it involved. As a consequence, he arrived home more ashamed in his heart than he cared to let any one know.

 "T am sorry, sir" he said contrite- ly. "It was a case of mistaken Judg- ment, sir; that's all.'
 The eyes of the elder man became, abruptly. interrogative.

 "I mean" explained his son, that lost three. hundred pounds, and that. as I was not to cable for more. not 10 borrow, and not to ask credit, l had to rely upon my own inventive powers to get out of the hole"
