emhcodemect at least thats the polite name given lo inch things the plain english of it ts simply that he has been stealing from his employers i cant believe it said marian he certainly is the lastperwn of whom we codld expect lo bear such a thing said her mother that is true said mr moreu t i tlwaysfscppcsed him to be a faithful re liable young man i dont like to believe it until i hear more said mrs moreil there must be some mistake about it- wh i have known his mother almost all my life and would almost aa sooa expect one of my own boys to go wrong as hers it will surely break her heart i will inquire into the matter tomor row said mr moreil and on the following evening he first question was what have you heard o robert har vey well the newspaper account of the matter is substantially correct enough so at least to cast t blot upon poor roberts character which will probably cling to it for life he has simply for two or three yean past been in the habit of helping himself to small sums of money from the sale of till employer always it the hope of returning it but as is sure to be the case always getting deeper and deeper in ive known of others who did exactly the same thing without a thought of being dishonest they go on finding it harder and harderlo make restitution and ai length discovery comes sometimes resulting aa in roberts case ic disgrace and arrest sometimes in loss of sifuatfon and ruin of prospects of course there lire very few employers who have the magnanimity to overlook such a thing and give i young fellow another chance i but what has robert been doinj with the money asked mrs moreil nobody seems exactly to know he has pot gambled he has not peculated he has not been extravagant in any special way so far aa i caa learn he appears simply lo have lived a little beyond his means i cao guess said marian robert ia very food of societyand goer out a great deal and yoa know a young fellow can not doaoat without spending oung fellows should not spend more than they honestly can spend said mr moreil of course uot father ball cant help seeing how hard it must be for them ui know where to stop it baagot to be the fashion when a youngmaihakes a young lady out to send her ftowers and as likely aa not carriage tool- its lectures and concerts and reeeptiousin winter and boat ridea and picnioa and ioa creams in sum mer one

her head i think so too said marian but what can be done about it must young roan keep out of society that would be rather hard on ihetn said her mother many of them are just such fanloviog generous fellows as robert harvey ready to ran into things without topping to count tho cost it is a great pity that they can not indulge their natural taste for the society of each other and of nice good girfsfwiihout being led into inch embarrassments and i do think marian three or foar years later mr and mrs philip harmon were sealed together one ereaiti5 ia lhir home another yoapg fellow gone down said mr harmon james rimes has been convicted cf that forgery and sentenced poor fellow 1 i thoaght be had very bright prospects when vie atarted oat together how has it come about asked ma rian oh he

of remaining there and james proposed hiring a tug aud following yes l remember thai too l would have cosf seven or eight dol lars id do il of coarse i couldnt say no wbeu ellen seconded his proposal and wo should have done it if you had not objected very strongly lo it why did yoa do it lcanatkroa now because t thought it a great deal of mpaey to spend in sach a useless- manner j marian went on

fact i rememberallalouglhose times you ased to stand in the way of my spending money it wis my father and mother taught me that said marian i wish to my very heart moregirlswere like you said philip j they dont begin to know the straits poor fellows are in some times or how helpless they are when it seems the thing to spend some money on a girl what can they do well marian i put back the money and the next day there were so me investigations made which would have led to the discovery of what i had dooe mr gnrhey was a hard man hon est up to the last degree and inflexible in hia dealings with others if i had been found out it would have been disgrace morclban oue poor chap has been ruined for no more cause than that i tell you it scared inc and i made up my mind from that time that id

known substantial farmers who did not disdain to go oat of their way for the parpose of picking wool off the thoras and hedges and the wool thus gleaned was faand very asefal along with the beltings of sheep for staffing horse collars cushiona mattresses etc in earlier umes before the spinningwheel was abolished and that household note of of industry was stilled forever when moreover wool was dear and bard to pro- care unless one bad sheep of ones own the wool so procured would be of consider- sertice to cottagers for into blankets and it is quite a mistake to sup pose that oar proverb has aoy contemptuous intention it refers rather to the wide and irregular range of sach wandenogi as the woolgatherers in some parishes where there were acres of gorebushes and the hedges were mostly
