 Look a here, Baynes," Mir. Grim shaw began in that familiar scolding tone of his, "I know what you want an we might jest as we'll git right down to business first as last. You keep this boy still an I'll give ye five years interest"
 Aunt Deel gave a gasp and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Uncle Peabody changed color as he rose from his chair with a strange look on his face. He swung his big right hand in the air as he said:
 "By the eternal iumpin'-"
 He stopped, pulled down the left sleeve of his flannel shirt and walked to the water pail and drank out of the dipper.
 Say, MT. Grimshaw, I'm awful sorry for ye," said my uncle as he returned to his chair, "b1t I've always learnt this boy to tell the truth an the hull truth. know the danger I'm in. We're gett,n' old. It'll be hard to start over ag'in an you can ruin us if ye want to an I'm as scared O ye as mouse in cats ra'-', hut this boy has got to tell the truth right out plain.

 MT. Grimshaw shook his head with anger and beat the floor with the end Of his cane. .. ..t,.'....
 Nobody knows anything O the kind, Baynes," said Mir. Dunkelberg. 'tOf course Amos never thought O killing anybody. He's a harmless kind of a boy. know him we'll and so do you. Under the circumstances Mir. Grim- shaw is afraid that Bart's story will make it difficult for Amos to prove his innocence" q. ..
 Uncle Peabody shook his head with a look of firmness.
 Again Grimshaw laughed between his teeth as he looked at my uncle. Tn his view every man had his price.
 "I see that Pm the mouse an you're the cat" he resumed, as that curious laugh rattled in his throat. Look a nere, Baynes, I'll tell ye what I'll do. I'll cancel the hull mortgage"
 Again Uncle Peabody rose from his chair with a look in his face which I have never forgotten. How his vol < rang out!
 "No, sirw he shouted so loudly that we all jumped to our feet and Aunt peel covered her face with her apron and began to cry. It was like the eX- plosion of a blast. Then the frag- ments began falling with loud crash:

 "Amos, I've a boy O my own an feel for ye," said the schoolmaster ''Im going to come here, now and then, to cheer ye up and bring ye some books to read. If there's any word of advice can give ye-let me know. Have ye lawyer?"
 "There's one coming tomorrow"
 Don't say a word about the case, boy, to anyone but your lawyer-mind that"
 We left him and went to our home and beds, I to spend half the night thinking of my discovery. since which. for some reason, I had no doubt of the guilt of Amos, but l spoke not of 1t to anyone and the secret worried me.
 Next morning on my way to school passed a scene more strange and memorable than any in my long ex- Lperience. I saw the shabby figure of Old Benjamin Grimshaw walking in the side path. His hands were in his pockets, his eyes bent upon the ground, his lips moving as if he were in deep thought. Rowing Kate, the ragged, silent woman who, for the fortune of Amos, had drawn gibbet, the shadow of which was now upon him, walked slowly behind the money lender point ing at him with her bony forefnger. Her stern eyes watched him as the cat watches when its prey Is near it. She did not notice me. Silently, her feet wrapped in rags, she walked behind the man, always pointing at him. When he stopped she stopped. When he resumed his slow progress she fol- lowed. It thrilled me, partly because mysterious power of the Silent Wom- aG. I had twenty minutes to spare end so turned into the main street behind and close by them. I saw him stop and buy some crackers and an apple and a piece of cheese. Mean while she stood pointing at him. He saw, but gave no heed to her. He walked along the street in front of the stores, she following as before. How patiently she followed!

I was angry and decided not to speak to her until she spoke to me.

HIS WITH ALL YER MONEY D-N YOUW
 It was like the shout of Israel from the top of the mountains. Shep bounced into the house with hair on end and the chickens cackled and the old rooster clapped his wings and crowed with all the power of his lungs. Every member of that little group stood stock still and breathless.
 I trembled with a fear I could not have defined. MT. Grimshaw shuffied out of the door, his cane rapping the floor as if his arm had been stricken with palsy in a moment.
 Mir. Dunkelberg turned to my aunt, his face scarlet, and muttered an apol- ogy for the disturbance and followed the money lender.
 Come on, Bart" Uncle Peabody called cheerfully, as he walked toward the barnyard. Let's go an git in them but'nuts."
 He paid no attention to our visi- tors-neither did my aunt, who fol- lowed us. The two men talked to- BclhGI u horses, got into their buggies and drove away.
 "Wal, I'm surprised at MT. Horace Dunkelberg tryin' to come it over us like that-ayesl be-" said Aunt Deel.
 "Wal, ain't," said Uncle Peabody. "Or Grimshaw has got him under his thumb-that's what's the matter. You'll find he's up to his ears in debt to Grimshaw-prob1y."
 AS we followed him toward the house, he pushing the wheelbarrow loaded with sacks of nuts, he added:
 At last Grimshaw has found some thin that he can't buy an he's awful surprised. Too bad he didn't learn that lesson long ago."
 He stopped his wheelbarrow by the steps and we sat down together on the edge of the stoop as he added:

 The days went easier after that. The boys took me into their play and some of them were most friendly. I had a swift foot and good eye as we'll as strong arm, and could hold my own at three old cat-a kind of baseball which we played fin tho schoolyard. Saturday came. AS we were sitting down at the table that morning the younger children clung to the knees of MT. Racket and begged him to take them up the river in boat.
 Good Lord What wilt thou give me when grow childless?" he ex- claimed with his arms around them. "That was the question of Abraham, and it often comes to me. Of course we shall go. But hark! Let us hear whatrthe green chair has to say"
 There was a moment of silence and then he went on with merry laugh. Right ye are, Michael Henryl You are always right, my boy-God bless your soul We shall take Bart with us an dOughnuts an cheese an cook les an dried meat for all."
 From that moment I dateN the be- ginning of my love for the occupant chael Racket. Those good people were Catholics and Protestant and yet this Michael Henry always insisted upon the most delicate consideration for my faith and feelings.
 "I promised to spend the morning in the field with Mir. Wright, if I may have your consent, sir" said.
 '"Then we shall console ourselves, knowing that you are in better com pany," said MT. Racket.
 MT. Dunkelberg called at the house in fishery lane to see me after breakfast.
 ''Bart, if you will come with me l should like to order some store clothes and boots for you," he said in his squeaky voice.
 For a moment I knew not how to answer him. Nettled as had been by Sally's treatment of me, the offer was like rubbing ashes on the soreness of my spirit.
 . Iblushed and surveyed my garments and said:
 I guess I look pretty bad, don't IT. "You look all right. but thought maybe you would feel better in softer raiment,. especially if you care to go around much with the young people. l am an old friend of the family and l guess 1t would be proper for me to buy the clothes for you. When you are older you can buy suit for me, some time. if you care to"

and buying for the coming holiday.
Stores throughout the city are mailing

are a mass Of slowly moving people bent

The hotels have but very few guests N

men passing through the city has de-
creased steadily during the past week,
and will reach its lowest point during

Carloads of eatables are being ship
