J, WINTER, AlUiny, pushed ii:tked ; when h consult ins wo And so Aaron 1ittle dimissed the subject. He wa in considerable doulit and perplexity of mind. Things had not gone well with him for a year past. Duli 1 illness and bad debts hail placel hUaffiirs in rather an unpromisiug condition. Taking trade as it had been for the pasd months, he could not imagine how. with the re sources at hi- command, his payments were to ho made. "I must get more capital," he said to himself. That V, plain. And with more capital must come in a partner. I don't like partnership-?. It is very dillicu't for two men to work together harinouiou-dy. You may get entan jrTcd with a rousrh. It's a risky busi ness, but I see no other way out of this trouble. My own capital i too light for the bnduess I am doing, and as a measure of safety, more must be brought in. Lawrei ce is anxious to join me, and he savs he can command ten thoumd dollars. 1 do not like him in all re -peets ; he's too fond of pleasure, lint I want his money more than bis ni l in business. He might remain a silent partner if he cho"-e. I'll call and see him thU very night, and we will talk tlie matter over. If he can bring in ten thousand dollars, I think that w ill settle "the matter at once." With this conclusion, Aaroa Little returned home, after closing his ware house for the day. Tea being over, he made preparations for going out, with the intention of calling upon Mr. Lawrence. As he reached his hand for his great coat, a voice seemed to sav: " Tell your wifb. Talk to her about it." But he rejected the thought, instant ly drawing on his coat. " Where are j-ou going. Aaron?" asked his w ife, coming forth from the dining-room. "Out for a little while," he replied. I'll be back in half an hour or so." "Out where?" Tell her Aaron, tell her all "about it," said the voice speaking - iu his mind. Nonseuce I She don't understand anything about business. he can't help me," lie reasoned. " Tell your wife." Tlie words scenic d as "if uttered nloml in las eu.

That would be pure. to inrike a certain loss. Furni ture sold . nt auction never realizes above half its cost." 'It would be a certain gain, Aaron, if it saved you from bankruptcy, with which, as f understand it, you are threatened." "I think," paid Aaron, "we could get on without that. I "like the idea of your wining into my warehou e and taking lioison's place. All the mouey from retail sales passes through his hands, and he has it in his power if not honest to rob me seriously. I've notfe.lt altogether easy in regard to him of late. Why, I can hardly tell. I've seen nothing wrong. But if you take his place, twelve hundred dollars will be saved certainly. "But if I have 1113- "house to keep," Mrs. Little answered to this, "how can I help yon at the warehouse? The first thing in oi-der is to get the house off 1113' hands." "Don't you think that Annie could be induced to come and live with us for a few months, until we try the new exiieriment ?" " "But the money, Aaron ; the mon ey this furniture would bring?

Depend upon it, that's the right thing to be done. Fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars in hand will make you feel like another person, give 30U courage, confidence and energy."

"Shall I say coward f Are you afraid to do what common prudence tells 3011 is right." "1 was afraid, Betsy, but am no longer faint-hearted.
