Then she thrust it back into the envelope, which she sealed hurriedly. As the train pulled into the station, she stood holding the letter in her hand, and it seemed to Harrison that there was a desperate look in her face when she turned to leave the car. Just as she reached the door, some one jostled against her, and the letter fell out of her hand, Almost at Harrison‘s feet, with the addressed side up. He stoopâ€" ed to get it, and there on the envelâ€" ope, in plain letters that he could not heln seeing, his own name and office address. For a moment he eyved the letter in speechless amazement. andâ€" then, auickly recovering himself, he picked it up as the girl turned. Suddenly the girl _ seemed to see what she was looking for, and walked anieklv to a letter box in a corner of the station. â€"U“'Scotch -granite paper," nodded Harrison approvingly. "I like that kind." ”She })ut the letter back into her bag and sat looking listlessly out of the window, oblivious of her surroundâ€" â€" "I wonder why she did not seal it," thought Harrison. "I suppose she wants to read it again before she mails it. On the whole, I am glad that I am not the man to whom the letter is going. I do not believe that it contains pleasant news for him. Perhaps it isn‘t a man, though; but E think it ig.‘ _ â€" He tried/to read, but found himself constantly wondering what was in the lefter and glancing at the girl, who sat looking so listlessly out of the window. ‘Yes. than‘k you " she murmured. taking it and l6oking rather at the letter than at him. The girl lifted the iron flan of the box, and half inserting the letter in the slit. beld it there and stared at it, her face the picture of contending emotions. _ Suddenly a flood of color surged into her cheeks. She snatched back the lotter and fairly ran from the box. The iron flap came down with a bang that made â€" Harrison jump. "she looks troubled," he thought. "I suppose even pretty girls have their worries. I wonder what hers is." He smiled. ‘"Perhaps her dressâ€" maker has disappointed her.". "She must have an exciting corresâ€" pondent," thought Harrison. No! by Jove, she is sending it away!" he ejaculated, as the girl took a stamp from her purse and affixed it to the envelope. § ings "I think you dropped this,‘" he said, holding ic out. In a moment inore she was walking through the station,. glancing about her uncertainly as she went. "She expects â€" some one to meet her," thought. Harrison. ‘"Wehat the deuce is she writing to me about?" "She is going@ to post my letter!" ejaculated Harrison in suppréessed exâ€" citement. 4 "Confound it! I.am nervous over a letter,"" he muttered impatiently. "What do Iâ€" care whether she posts it or not? The first thing I know she will see me watching her." But the girl bad no eves for him, She walked rapidly toward the ferry and went aboard the boat without a backward glance. and Harrison meâ€" chanically followed her. As Harrison sat waiting for the train to start, a girl entered the car and took a seat on the opposite side and some distance from his. Ae she passed, Harrison looked up. tA charming face," he commented to himself, and returned to his paper. girl. ‘m"l:i{e train was under way now. The girl took a letter from the dainty leather bag which hung on her arm. She read the letter through, and he saw that she was breathing quickly. As the craft sped across the busy North River she stood leaning against the rail looking vaguely back at the dying sunset. A pathetic picture of loneliness, she seemed to Harrison, who took pains to stand where she could not see him_ watching her, though it appeared to be a needless precaution, for, she took no heed ,of her surroundings. It had been a dull day in the marâ€" ket, and there was not much in Mexiâ€" can news except a report of a big strike in the Con Amore mine, hitherâ€" to considered an undesirable properâ€" ty. Harrison held a few shares of the stock, which he had taken in a trade, but not enough to make the report more than mildly exciting, and he found himself glancing again at the He was in a hurry to get back, for his partner, James, had gone to Mexiâ€" co on a deal, and a wire from him might come at any time. "Little girl," he ejaculated impulâ€" sively, "you are in some trouble, and I will help you out if you will only post that letter and give me half a chancee!" Then he took another look at her as she leaned, slim and pretty, against the rail. Walcott Harrison, junior partner in the firm of James & Harrison, New York, extensive dealers in Mexican mines, was returning that afternoon from a business trip to Philadelphia. Harrison started forward with a half formed idea of following her in another_cab, â€" and then _ suddenly checked himself with an exc‘amation, for there in the muddy gutter he saw the little gray envelope which he had looked at so often. He seized it eagerly. Yes, there it was, sealed, stamped and addressed to him. She had dropped it when she got into the cab with her hands full of newsâ€" papers. He saw that she still had the letter in her hand. She stopped and bought an evening paper, and then walked quickly to one of the cabs which stood waiting for a fare, and, saying someâ€" thing to the driver, which Harrison was too far away to hear, she got it The door slammed, and the cab drove rapidly away. 3 "By Jove, Walter Harrison! I half believe the girl has turned your head!" he murmured, smiling whimâ€" sically. The boat bunted its way into the slip on the New York side, the gates opened, the passengers crowded ashore, the girl among them,; â€"and Harrison following. He looked down the street. IThe cab had disappeared. "I can‘t return it toâ€"her this time," he declared to himself, ‘"for I don‘t MH L ADVERTISER, MIMICO AND NEW TORONTO it!" he went on irritably, "who would have thought that a girl with a face like hers would be mixed up in that kind of thing? It shows that I know mothing about women!" Then right at the beginning of a busy working day Walcott Harrison fell into a reverie which, from the exâ€" pression of his face, seemed not unâ€" pleasant. _ Finally he roused himself with a laugh. ‘"Why should I care whether she would or would not send an anonymous letter?" he asked himâ€" sell. Eut L do," he added; "L, Itke to think that she is square." As he turned again to. his mail, Holmes, his chief clerk, came in from the outer office and said, "Mr. Harâ€" rison, a Miss Almore fnd a man givâ€" ing his name as Black are waiting to see you." y ‘"Why do you say ‘giving his name as Black‘ ?" asked Harrison sharply. "Because I feel quite sure that he is Jake Derry, who got into Parr & Dunham out in Denver about three years ago to the tune of $20,000 in a bold mining swindle. He vanished along with their money. It happened while I was out there. I saw him only once, but I have a good memory for faces, and I feel sure that he is the man." ZAll right, Holmes; ) thank. you Ask them to come in, and please reâ€" main within call." In a moment the door opened again and a wellâ€"dressed, stocky little man whose quick, narrow eyes took in the room like a smapshot, appeared, and turmng with a deferential smile, held the door open for his companion to enter. At the sight of her Harrison startâ€" ed to his feet and stared, for she was the girl who had lost the letter! The man‘s smooth voice brought Harrison to himself. ‘‘My name is Black, Mr. Harrison, and this is Miss Almore. We would like a few moâ€" ments of your time if you will give it to us."" 2 "Certainly," answered Harrison. Ssit down. Take aâ€" chair, Miss Almore." f . "Thank you," she said quietly; but Harrison saw that her hand trembled. ‘"Well, Mr. Black, what can I do for you?" he asked, turning to the man. R Dear Sir: A man and a young womâ€" an named Margaret Almore will call at your office toâ€"morrow (Tuesday) morning with a mining proposition. Do not believe what they say. There was no signature. Harrison turned the sheet over. There was not another word. He looked at the letter with a savage sense of disappointment. ‘"Why is the girl warning me?" he exclaimed. "She might be in better business than writing anonymous letâ€" ters about another woman. Confound He passed a restless night, and reached his office at an unusually early hour the next morning. â€" He ran rapidly through his mail, and then a look of relief came into his face. "She did not intend to post that letter," he thought, "for if she had she would have written me another when she found that she had lost it." "Do you know anything of the Can Amore Mine, Mr. Harrison?" asked Black in a smooth, purring voice. ‘‘Yes, in a general way. Not been aâ€" very productive proposition, _ has 1t22 / "Ah, but a big strike has just been made there," insinuated Black smoothly. ; Miss Almore stirred nervously as he spoke, and out of the tail of his eye Harmison caught the swirt warnâ€" ing look which Black immediately flashed at her. "Yes, I saw a report of it in yester day‘s paper," said Harrison. That look decided Harrison. "I will see the game through," he said_ to bimself, and settled back in his chair. "Miss Almore owns three fifths o the stock," went on Black. "I congratulate you on the strike," said Harrison, turning to her. { soBut," put in Black hastily, "she is in danger of losing her holdings. You see Miss ‘Almore borrowed $15,â€" 000 on the stock to put into another "I can‘t leave it here in the gutter for some one else to find. I can‘t return it to her. â€"I might post it," he laughâ€" ed. ‘"What nonsense!" he argued. It is addressed to me. It it my letter. I will open it. And, besides," he conâ€" cluded weakly, ‘"if I don‘t I shall never know who she is." The tempâ€" tation of this last argument was irâ€" resistible. He tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter, and read: Mr. Walcott Harrison loan, amounting with interest to $16,â€" 000, is due toâ€"day. The man who made the loan is named Jenkins, ana is what you . may _ callâ€"erâ€"â€"strictly business, and if the loan is not met promptly he will, in the light of the big strike, take the stock. It is deâ€" posited, together with the note, with the Longfield Trust Company. The instructions are to deliver the stock absolutely to Jenkins if the note is not paid toâ€"day. Here is a dupli¢ate of the agreement,"" he added laying it on the desk.. ‘"And now, Miss Alâ€" more," he went on, looking steadily at her, "suppose you put your propoâ€" sition." venture, which turned out badly. ‘The She looked back at him and hesiâ€" tated, but his face was like flint. Then she began to speak like a child reâ€" citing something. by rote. "Ao big strike has been reported in the Con Amore Mine.

Something of this must haveâ€"shown in his face, ftor as he turned heâ€"caught a gleam of greedy satisfaction in Black‘s eyes. He turned the letter over and over, and eyed it curiously.. ‘"What shall I do with it?" he demanded of himself. know where to find her." Harrison affected to consider. "Exâ€" cuse me for a moment," he said. "Let me see what information we have in the office concerning the mine." Going into the ‘outer â€"room he beckoned to Holmes and â€" heid & whispered conversation with him. At the end of it Holmes nodded quietly and Harrison returned to his private office. > "Well, Miss Almore," he said. smiling, "it is something of a gamble, Harrison opened the telegram. â€"It was from his partner, James, and in their private code. "If you and Mr. Black will excuse me," said Harrison, turning to Miss Almore, "I will decipher this wire while we are waiting for Holmes. Here is the morning paper if you care to _ see it." She took the paper mechanically, and Harrison began to translateâ€" his telegram. The office was very still. Black watched the door nervously. When Harrison had finished transâ€" lating the wire, he read the result with a start of amazement, and glancâ€" ed swiftly at Black. ‘Then he returnâ€" ed to the message again and was reading it through a second time when he was interrupted by a sharp cry, and starting up he saw Miss Alâ€" more gazing fixedly at the newspaper which he had handed her. ‘"What is the matter, Miss ATâ€" At this moment Miss Almore sprang forward impetuously and exâ€" claimed: "Call back your clerk, â€"NMr. Harrison! The loan is a pretence! I bave not. borrowed a penny! _ This man is Jeakins! He will get your $16,000! _ All of it! The report of a strike is false! It was sent in by this man‘s confederate! The stock is worthless! We have defrauded you!" In her excitement she seized Harâ€" rison‘s arm. , Black started toward her. "You must be crazy!" he exclaimed. "Iâ€"" "Stand back there, Mr. Black!" â€"orâ€" dered Harrison. _ "It will be better for you. Now, Miss Almore," he added, turning to her, "go on." & ‘"We have defrauded you," she deâ€" clared again. ‘"My brother hadâ€"had done wrong. This man held him in his power, and threatened to expose him and send him to a Mexican prison unless I would doâ€"what I have done. My brother was incurably â€"ill. He was weak and despairing. He pleaded with me not to let him spend the last months of his‘ life in prison. He was my brotherâ€"hardly more than a boyâ€"and I loved himâ€"and soâ€"I did this to save him. I am only telling you why. He is free now. Do what you like‘ with me.""_ : There was ‘silence in the room. Then Harrison looked atâ€" Black. "What have you to say?" he asked. As he put the question there was a quite knock, and Holmes appeared in the door. ‘"Here is the stock, sir," he said, and handing Harrison an open buneh of Coxn Amore certificates he went out and closed the door. ‘"Here is the order on the Longfield Trust Company in the Con Amore stock transaction which I _ explained to you a few moments ago, Holmes, and here is my check for $16,000. As soon as you have concluded the busiâ€" ness, bring the stock to me." ‘"Very well, sir," answered Holmes. ‘"Here is a telegram which came~â€" a moment ago." _And laying it on the desk, Holmes left the room. more?" he exclaimed ‘"‘My brother," she gasped, pointing to the paper. "He is dead!" As she spoke Black‘s face changed and he roge hastily. Harrison saw the motion, and quickly walking across the room, stood before the door. The girl looked swiftly at him. His face was bland, but his eyes were cold as ice. She signed the paper. Harrison took it, and writing a cheque for $16,000, called Holmes and said: Black took a quick, triumphant glance at them, and turning to Harâ€" rison with an easy air of assurance, said: "You want to know what I have to say, do you? Well, I say this: You have the stock. I am going to the trust company for my money. If you relied for the value of the stock on a mere newspaper rumor, that is your lookout. The papers regarding the loan are duly executed, and the trust company will recognize my right." Saying this, Black started toâ€" ward the door. but if everything is as represented I don‘t know that I mind taking a chance." And sitting down at his desk he wrote a few words on a sheet of paper and passed it to her. ‘"The first step will be sign this order on the Longfield Trust Company to deâ€" liver the stock to our firm on receivâ€" ing from us $16,000 for Mr.â€"erâ€" Jenkins." "Just a moment, Mr. Black,‘ reâ€" forted Harrison. ."If you will look a little closer at â€"these Con _ Amore certificates you will see that they are not Almore‘s atâ€" all. ~They are a few which I own myself. Holmes brought them in at the psychological momient, so to speak, at my.request. The trust company still has Miss Almore‘s stock." Black‘s face changed. f "Did you suppose, you scoundrel, that you could take me in with such a clumsy trick?"" went on Harrison hotly. Black took up his hat with an insolent ‘smile. "*Would you like to prosecuteâ€"us?" he asked. ‘"No," answeredâ€"Harrison. "I thought not," said Black suaveâ€" ly. ‘"For protection there is nothing like baving a charmingâ€"erâ€"accomâ€" plice." . The girl looked at the paper and hesitated. "It is allâ€"right,â€" Miss Almore; sign it," said Black, and his words snapâ€" ped like a whip. Harrison took a step toward him with clinched fist. ; "Oh, don‘t trouble to see me to the door," said Black ironically. "Good morning." y ‘"Just one moment before you go," returned Harrison in a_ voice as smooth as oil. "Miss Almore is enâ€" titled â€"to ~herâ€"stock, Mr. ~Black,. the loan being a mere pretence." ‘"Well, she won‘t get it," snapped Black. : "Oh, yes, she will, Mr.â€" Derry." The man looked up quickly, and the expression on his face changed. "Oh, well, perhaps she is entitled to the stock," he said with a shrug. "I thought that that would be your conclusion,‘"‘ nodded â€" Harrison, _ and turning to his desk he picked up the agreement which Black had handed him. ‘"Now, Mr.â€"erâ€"Jenkins, please write across this a â€"release of all claims and an order to the Longfield Trust Company to deliver the note and the stock to. Miss Almore." Black complied without a word. Harrison turned to the telephone and called up the trust company. "I have the trust company on the wire, Mr. Black," â€"he ‘said. "Kindly tell them in my presence what you have done so that there may be no misâ€" take." The man did so. "Now," went on Harrison, opening the door, ‘"‘there isâ€" just oneâ€" more favor I will ask of you, Mr. Black: Kindly tell Mr.. Jenkins that if he ever crosses my path again, his name will beâ€"â€"Derry. _ Good morning," he added coldly. â€" The door. closed;, andâ€" Harrison ORIGIN OF SOME FOOD PLANTS Asparagus was originally a â€" wild seaâ€"coast plant of Great Britain.

The gentleman of the many names seems to have been something of a prophet without knowing it. The cipher telegram which I received a little while ago was from my partner who is in Mexico. He wires confidential inâ€" formation of a rich strike just made in the Con Amore Mine. ‘That is why I was so anxious to get your stock released." Miss Almore looked at Harrison, her lip trembling. ‘"You are heaping coals of fire on my head," she murâ€" mured. â€""There is no. reason why you should want to help me." "Oh, yes, there is,"â€" he said quietly. "I cannot tell you all of the reason zow, but a part of it is because you did not post this," and he took from his pocket the letter which he had picked up in the street.

When we do realize that, and that God does not ask us to do anything (Rom. 3: 24; 4: 5), our consciences are purged from dead works (delivered from the burden of our selfâ€"efforts to atone for sin) to serve the living G@od (Heb. 9: 14). In verse 27 we have God. dealâ€" ing in grace. Now it is all grace, just as it was before all law.. ‘‘The Lord" does not extend the time of paying the debt, but fully remits it.

If we will not listen to the cry of our debtors, then we shall hear the voice of our creditor. God freely offers forgiveness for all our $12,000,â€" 000 indebtedness, but if we truly acâ€" cept it we will prove it by freely forâ€" giving others.

We are now back on the Jaw basis, and we shall be delivered to the tormenâ€" tors till we pay "ALL THAT ISs DUE," That we can never do, so our torment will be everlasting. There is no merâ€" cy for the man who shows by refusâ€" ing merey to others, he has despised it for himself (Jag. 2: 13). ‘The enly way to learn to be merciful is by beâ€" lieving in the merey of God revealed in Christ toward us (1 Jno. 4 19 R.V.)..
