joarjii jo ha sharp er old john waa the owner of the pnnci pal rlore in t urge and hrinnr kew england viiuge like all storea of the kind it furnished the people of the town with dot everything thai eonld be kept oa tale and since the railroi d bad brought the town ao ceur the city the farmers foaod ready market for aboq all they had to sell sir sharpers character ia safficientlj exposed in the oonveratiaa e hae oer heard and we can alo see tiiat his son is coming op m the practice of the same harp method kit store aa the oldest m the village with a central location and having money oa hand he wax ahhrto pay cafih when it wu for hia interest so lo do i and there are times when a roar farmer lor a poor ans thing else for hat matter will sacrifice a great deal for a small scm of readj money and be iare it never jarred on john sharper f conscience to rob a man if he coald do it nider cover of seeming law william snow wiu a jonnc man of oae and twentj whom sharper employed aa bookkeeper and clerk heuas the sea and only child of a widowed mother with whom he resided and whmhe mostly sopported while father and son had been engaged in their characteristic conversation an honest old farmer ben pitker by name from an adjotaing town had autered the store and espying yoaog snow at his desk had approached htm he had known billy snow from his babyhood and he had confidence in him audit was him he wanted on the present occasion billy aaid he after he bad passed the uinal compliments of meeting and had asked after his dear old fnsnd the boys mother i want a bit of ybar help ive got tbe best lot of wool i over bad and yoa know what my wool isjjast cotewold enough in if to give it length and firm nets nowwbat had i oaght lo set for it why really mr parker laid the

i thought i wu i ve got two handred fleeces and theyllaverage four aad a half pounds each that good t it nine handred pounds yes ben that is a good shearing and yonr sheep are good too at una point parker became aware that mr sharper had approached the desk and the conversation was dropped the farmer nodded aad spoke a pleasant word to the merchant and then tarned to leave bat the merchant stopped mm by the way parker have joa sold oar wool yetv ko i haven t do yoa want cash for it fl wheal eil liyes well i ii take at a fair price howmuchi whatd joa call a fair price 4 well yoar sheep i

i get read to sell irebbe iii let joa know i aint safferin fir monej jast now and with that he tarned and walked awaj william said mr sharper when tbe farmer was beynnd ear shot has he been talking with j ou a boat his wool ha asked me what wool was quoted at eir and what did you tell bira 1 at first i told him it was not my buxi neas bat he appealed to me aa a friend and of coarse i told him

goods that a cus tomer looks al oare sore lo blab it and o hosier soorw joa can consider that i ve had eoqagh of joa john told me only last nifiht low joa gave me the lie j gae yoa it e lie eir les gave me the he repeated mr sharper in hoi wrath ion told mrs crehore that that piece of cloakine marked seen and sixpence had cotton it certaiclj i did 1 aje and llrs jackson was with her and i had told her only the day before that here wasa t a lit of cottoa in it well air iretarned the yoath who had borne aboat all he coald comfortably bear and whoie otter detestation of the merchant s methods was brought to the surface where will yoa put tbe blame m that bat wt will not argue the matter i am sorry i cannot please j et i am free lo aay that yoa can never depend upon me to deceive a customer for joar pecuniary benefit nor hash hash doa t j oa see les he saw two ladies had entered the store and were standing where they coald overhear and one of them was the very mrs jackson to whom sharper had declared that the cloaking staff had not a particle of cotton in it the coarerfatioo was dropped and at the c ose of business that eemog w illiam soow was discharged from the merchant s employ the joang man experienced t- seuae of relief m being thnx freed from the taint of that store had he been called to stand behind the eoanter as a regular salesman he could cot eiave borne it ss long as he had and as rt was he had suffered more than he coali tell often when he bad seen poor honest confiding people literally robbed before hia very face he had felt that he mast gue ap the situation and yet now that tbe place was lost taken from him he felt sad and down hearted and he had a paiticalar reason for it as we shall see soon his mother when he bad told her what had happeaeq wasnctiarpnsed she had long felt that mr sharper coald not endare hit presence a crest while hi personal hab la and boxiueiis cue hod being a con slant reminder to the merchant and his soaof their own dishonest never mlad she said kissing her be roved sou with infinite tenderness the good lord will not forsake us if we do not forsake careehes something will be found j ail n returned ilham not sadly but hopefalf j add with a smile that some thing maft be qmckly foand far we have nothiag laid up nothing bate my health and strength bat we will not complain i can dig and delve thank fortune william bad aaothor to inform of hit sit uation and 1 ere a darling plan of life mast be changed later in the evening he called at the cot tage of the widow winshfp lanra bad expected him and she herself answered his summons a lovely pretty girl wu laura winship a healthful hopeful truthful happy maid en the joy and the blessing of her widowed mother with a heart large enough to love evert thing worthy of love she and william had been betrothed to one an- other for more than a j ear and they had planned that at the close of the present season they would marry but that mast be pat off w a latter date and this it wu that hurt the yoath most deeply 0 willie i m glad voave come uocle sam is here dear old uncle sam and before be could answer a word she bad led him into the little sitting- room where sat ber mother and her mothers brother u oole sam lawrenoe he wu a pleaaaiitirankfaobd happylooking man of threescore or more but hearty and and healthy ai ever he greeted william be ealleij him billy my boy- with ardent generous affection and then waved bira we were talking of you my boy when yoa knocked theold mao uid laughingly put off all the unhappy looks for yoave got no bad news to tell weve heard tbe whole story just as straight probably u you could tell it yourself as william cast a wondering look around laura took it upon herself to explain we have heard the whole story of your trouble at tbvatore willie mrs jackson came directly hervtfter she left there she and mrs baldwin overheard the conver sation between yourself and mr bharper and u she happened to be the very person to whom joa had exposed the truth abont the cloaking of coarse she understood it thoroughly 0 i am glad jou are free from the place yonr own reputation might hate suffered in time certainly said the youth it is not pleuant to lose one s employment yet my leaving that place could only have been a question of time ihe moral taint of snch an atmosphere wu a little too much for me i say that here and dow because you all know bat i woald not speak it abroad and i trust joa will not repeat it from my laps and now my boy what do you purpose to do asked lode in his off hand hearty way i dont know yet i most look around then arcing to laura tbe happy day will keep darhng bat we mast pat u far ther from as i am sorry sorry bad we will love all the more and live on hope look e yoangmaa i dont know about this t have had my mind made ap to en joy that wedding this fall and to eat my thanksgiving dinner at yoar table and i dont mean to be cheated out of it if i can help it vow answer me what is to be done with that urge new building which hu been erected on tbe opposite side of the street from sharper s store it was pat hp for mr waldroo to be used u a tiuware manufactory and a store for stoves furnaces and like goods but tbe death of his son hu unsettled all his plans and he will not take i that hardly answers my question boy i uked you what is to be done with it why mr noble the builder wishes to let it ird he offers it very cheap how cheapf two hundred and fift dollars a year and he says be vyill fix it to suit any bosi neas that may be carried on n it cry well ishall call on mr noble to morrow and take bis building loa cried william in blank surprise yes- aud moreover i wish to engage you to superintend matter la short my boy theold mm went on with soal sent earnestness j propose to have an honest and honorable merchant in this village and i propose that yoa shall be that merchant hold ou not a word i ve got it all ar ranged it seems u though there wu a providence in this affair i have had this thing on my mind for almost a year ever since i knew thst jou and laura were sure to be man and wife and the plans were so far laid out that it required only this act of sharpers to hooorably set yoa free and the building of dan noble to give ui quarters and that will make a splendid store better than sharpers won t it ery much better better in every way but uncle tben it is the same u done broke in the impulsive old man i can have the goods here u soon as the store can be ready for them and the sign 0 we ii have a grand one wixluh sow isn coutixt i my little laara is to be the company for to her i give the establirhment the fact is i am not going to wait till i am dead and i gone for my loved ones to enjoy the little good that i cui give them no i prefer to see and enjoy some of it while i lire now tell me honestly he went on after a moments pause do you think you will be sure to make a success of it my dear uncle lawrence answered the youth with solemn assurance give me the capital and i will pledge myself if my health is spared to do more business and a far better baainess than john sharper is dom in short success is sure at the out set bat remember there must be a safiicient capital the bottom that mast be the foundation apon which to build tbe success and what is your idea of a shfficieat capital come come oo modesty about this 1 mean business i uk you because i suppose yoa know what woald yoa call a sufficient capital in cash william reflected for a little time with his bead beotr upon hia hands and when he looked ap his face wu bright and clear loa will understand be said that besides the cash paid for the goods which we place in stock we must l we would be whole banded have cash for the farmers who bring produce to sell there are cer tain articleaof farm prodaoe which are the sameucuh and he is fortaoate who sedur estheoj battercbeese eggs wool yarn honey and other things of like character i shoald say tea thousand dollars woald setap a fair baainess that is supposing we uk no credit atithe beginning fifteen thousand would start a stronger basiness and twenty thousand woald aot only make a sure thing but it woad give as the strength of a bank financially well sic said the great hearted old man bis face glowing with tbe radiance of perfect happmnf a tomorrow rooming you may put on yonr working clothes for i shall want yoa at the new store twenty thousand dollars it is remember the bonnets is yours not a word now about division of profits we u fix that when we have seen what they are if i furnish tbe money i will took to you lor the rest when william snow walked homeward that evening be seemed to tread on air he wu in a wondrous dream with he mystic lamp of aladdin in fall possession daring tbe following day yoaog john told bis father that bill snow had gone at work for dan noble let him dig i wu the elder john t re sponse r but in tne coarse otibe following week their note wu changed what in tbe world ia tbe young rucal doing the elder off and be sure he spread it and among tbe women mrs jackson aod mr baldwin were a power bet above and beyond all that the young merchant wu a powef jn himself not only honest but honorable in every word and every deed honorable and truthfal witba disposition and a will to do unto others lexactly what be woald have- others do onto him so hvtog and acting his word always a sacred pledge and his pledges sare o be fulfilled how could be do else thin succeed 4 remember tag of course that he had the field in which to work before the snow flew he and
