financial craab. I had been in the factory
about three month, and wta, getting uaed to
the general ran of thinga; and though it waa
out of my line, and none ol my businraii, I
could not but notice how alack-trade teemed
to be. Ituniora of failure up the atn et, down
the atreet, on the corner, at N6. 35 ami 37

Well, old Harknuaa kept on with hla manu
facturing, though I could aee that, day by day,
fewer calls for work were made. He alwaya
wore a cheerful smile throngh tboee troublon

went to ace a model man of bnalneee. don't
peculate. don't gtt involved. Mark my
consequent prosperity." Now when I aoe a
man with a good deal of Mnater and awagger
about him, I alwaya make np my mind that he
la a coward at heart. Aud when some ptoile
parade their financial soundness, the Wall

that I began to auspect that Uarkncaa wasn't
