"If yen will consent te becorue their trustec, Marchmont," the dying nman hn.d said, 111 shall appoint ne one te act with yen.

I k now you wil do your bost for hini and Ellie, anid keep the meney where it is -in good. safe, nonspeculo.tive inveat- lielti5." Mr Marchment, thon a prosporons niercha.nt, had readily undertaken the charge laid upen bim, and fulfilled it it honeqtly enough until within a year or se before the time ou? tûry ceon- inences, but there had been a tirne of great financial depression and Mr Marchrnonts tirni hnd suffored like the rest of the world and thon in a fatal heur he had hoen attempted te gainl>1. on the stock exchange. Ilad won and lest &gain grown reckless and now that £30,000 which should b. handed over te lHarold and his sister in an- othor six weelrs was as nonexistent as wus Mr Marohrnonts own private for- tune. Business was much depressed stili and Jenkins the other partner had begun te advecate boldly faoîng the. real condition of thiîxgs and wind- ing up the firnis affaira, but Jenkins wvas, of course, ignorant of bis part- ners ernbezzlernent of trust funda. t is on. thing for a business man whose affaire have becoone involved through unexpectediafertunew te cail a meeting cf creditors and lay th. facta plainly before them and anether te have a confession that a trustehbu -te put it bluntly-mnade away with nney which does net belong te him.

'II have madle my money and 1 don't mean te nrisk it in any business isgain," remarked thie gentbemn. Thanka te, this unexpected stroke cf luck, Mr Marchmont was ahi. te look forward te tth. dreadéd trust audit with miore composure. t was noces- sary, cf course, te prepare a very ela- borate and fictitieus seriés cf accounts te conceal the rea facta, but mt leut thé money was there te bt handéd over, and recipients are usually satis- lied te receive théir own without in- dulging in tee close scrutiny as te bhow it boa beén dealt with béton. it ar- rives in their banda.
