They debated that point Once the
possibility of Helter, Shelter & Grab
giving credit was admitted, it was
pleasant to begin sweating the ac-
ceptable minimum. For some half
hour over tea the second day after
Winslow's discoveries they were
quite cheerful again, laughing even
at their terrific fears. Even twenty
pounds, to go on with, might be con-
sidered enough. Then in some mys-
terious way the pleasant prospect of
Messrs. Helter, Shelter & Grab tenn
pering the wind to the shorn retailer
vanished-vanished absolutely, and
Winslow found himself again in the
pit of despair.
He began looking about at the
furniture. and wondering idly what
it would fetch. The chiffonier
was good, and there were Minnie's
old plates that her mother used to
have. Then he began to think of
desperate expedients for putting off
the evil day. He had heard some
where of Bills of Sale-there was to
his ears something comfortingly
in the phrase. Then why
not go to the money lenders? -

in state of grim wretcsedness-a
martyr under the harrow of fate. AT
any rate, it should not be said he
failed for want of industry. And
how he had planned and contrlved
and worked! All to this end! He
| felt horrible doubts. Providence
and Bandersnatch-surely they were
incompatible! Perhaps he was being
tried" That sent him off upon a
new tack, a very comforting one.
That martyr pose, the. gold-in-the-
furnace attitude, lasted all the morn
ing.
At dinner-"potato pie"-he
looked up suddenly, and saw Min
ME regarding him. Pale she looked,
and a little red about the eyes.
Something caught him suddenly
with a queer effect upon his throat.
All his thoughts seemed to wheel
into quite new direction.
He pushed back his plate, and
stared at her blankly. Then he got
up, went round the table to her
she staring at him. He dropped on
his knees beside her without a word.
|"Oh, Minnie! p he said, and sudden
ly she knew it was peace, and put

sob and weep.
He cried like a little boy, slobber-
ing on her shoulder that he was a
knave to have married her and
brought her to this, that he hadnt
the wits to be trusted with a penny,
that it was all his fault, that he "had
hoped so"-ending in howl. And
she, crying gently herself, patting
his shoulders, said, SSH" softly to
his noisy weeping, and so soothed
the outbreak. Then suddenly the
crazy little bell upon the shop door
began, and WinsIow had to jump to
his feet and be man again.
After that scene they talked it

whole enterprise.
He had been dreaming these past
six months of a bright little shop, of
"a happy couple, of a modest but
.comely profit flowing in. He had
suddenly awakened from his dream,
The braid that bound his decent
black coat-it was a little loose
caught against the catch of the
shop door and was torn loose. This
suddenly turned his wretchedness to
wrath. He stood quivering for a
moment, then, with a spiteful clutch,
tore the braid looser, and went in to
Minnie.

proach, look here! You might look
after chap a bit"
Il didn't see it was torn.' said
Minnie.

with gross injustice, until things

The next morning, and the next,
after the discovery, Winslow opened
shop late. When one has been
awake most of the night, and has nc
hope, what is the good of getting
