Creeping noiselessly down the stairs, she laid the bundle down and put on her bonnet and shawl, then walked over, and looked long at the unconscious face of her father as he lay in a heavy stupor in his chair, with his head fallen on his breast. I have done the best I could by you, father, I have tried and failed. I wont stay and be made to marry that man. No! not even to save the roof over your head!

You know how my road to prosperity opened. My parents were gone before I knew them. My grandfather died when I was 9, leaving me to a family that lost no opportunity to show how much of a burden I was. Ons day a group of boys were going down the street; a stone was thrown. It caromed on the pavement, went through a plate-glawindow, the proprietor came out, the other boys ran, I confessed to being the guilty party, my arm waa gripped as If In a vise, and when asked why I had not lied, I said grandad had taught me not to, and, with tears on my cheeks, I was taken Inside. As we talked I was offered $3 a week to look after the shop, A little later in the conversation I was to have a room off the workshop, then I waf to be boarded, then clothed and then supplied with books. Ills wife drew me to' her side, kissed me and said what a brave, good boy I had been and what a noble man I would make. I've heard the story a hundred times. So have T, almost every day. Toi years my old patron would tell It after saying that 'this Is my new boy, r, ibis Is my clerk, this Is my this is my partner, and finally, J.cu-- . this Is my My wife madeit the' me a hero and loved me from the time meip-sh- e heard tha story. It brought ms friends, credit, sound business advice, trade, confidence and wealth. It made my children prouder, happier and better. It will bear fruit In their children, ' for It Is the family Ideal and tradltrfm. But where do the false pretenses come In? Well, I must tell some one. I never threw that stone. .1 never broke that window. My tears were not for grandfather, but were wrung from the grip on my arm. Like Topsy, I was In a state of moral exaltation, and acknowledged a wrong I never did. I did wrong through a heroic determination to always do right There bas never been a time that I could confess and have lived up to my character. I wouldnt destroy the idol and he humbled In the dust before my wife anil children for the world. I would pull a moral prop from under them that may yet stand for ages.
