Strong and Steady By HORATIO CIIAPTKH X. In tin time, to Joshua's great delight, the lottery ticket reached him. It a several day In coming, anil lie had t most given It up, but the sight of it rais ed his spirits to the highest pitch. It teamed to him the firt lrp to a fortune. II began at one to Indulge In dniiling xtslous of what he would ilo when the prlxe cum to hand; how the "old man" would I astonished ami treat him with Increased respect; how lie would g to tb city anil harp a good time swine the llonn, ami fruni henceforth throw off the palling yoke of ilepetutrnce w hich hi fath r's parsimony bad made It ro hard to Unr. Whenever he wn by hlnwlf. he used to pull out the ticket and gaie at It vtith the greatest satisfaction, a the key that w-n to tinlork the portal of fortune, in dependence and happlne-v Hut at length the long-expected letter arrived. Joshua did not like to ojien It In the lwtoflT, let It should attract the attention of the HVtnater. lie there fore withdrew to n place where he wa lint likely to be disturh.il. and with trem bling finger opened the letter. Some thlag dropped out. "I wonder If It I a cheek)" thought JoHim, stooping over and picking it up. Hut no. It w-n an announcement of the drawing. Joshua's numbers for each lellery ticket contain three number wore l. 13. Til). Hut of the thirteen hi'ky number drawn out of sixty-live, neither of them wan one. Slowly It dawned upon Jo4iua that he bad drawn nothin;, that lit five dollar had been absolutely thrown away. Hut there ni a letter. Ferbap thl would explain It. Josbua read as follows: "Dear Sir We regret to nay that we are unable to send you a prlxe thl time. We boie, however, you will not lie dis couraged. Some of our patron who have been most fortunate have commenced by Ixdng unlucky. Indeed, ainsutarly enough, thin In a general rule. "Hoping to bear from you again, and to send you In return better new, we subscribe ourselves, very respectfully. "CUAHH CO." The effect of Johua's III suc-cens wa to make htm very deirpondcnt. lie thought of all he had Intended to do, and now hi castle bad crumbled, and all In con sequence of thin letter. lie bad licen no sanguine of success. Now be must write to Sam that bl visit to New York was Indefinitely postponed that Is, unlets he could Induce hi father to provide nlm wltb money enough to go. The prosp.'ct "as not very encouraging, but be felt des perate, and he determined to make the attempt. Accordingly, Just after supper, be detained his father, just as be was reluming to tba store, and said: "father, I wish you'd let me go to New York on a visit." "What for)" asked Sir. Drummond, ele vating bis brows. "Kecause I'm eighteen years old, and Fve never been there yet." "Then, If you're gone eighteen years without seeing the city, I think you ian' go a while longer," said bis father, un- der the Impression that be bad made a witty remark. Hut Joshua did not ap preciate the humor of It. "I've lived In Staple-ton ever since I was born," grumbled Joshua, "and hive got tired of it. I want to see something of life." "Do you? Well, Via sure I've no obe Hon." "May I go, then?" "Yea j but, of course, you will pay your own expenses." "How can I?" exclaimed Joshua, in on Cff d(sapoIntment. "I bare no motley." "Then you can sare up your allowance till you hate enough." "Have up en twenty-live cents a week ! 1 couldn't go till I was nn old man I" "I know of no other way," said Mr. Drummond, with provoking Indifference, "unlesa you earn the money In some wi.v," "You treat m like a little boy!" said Joshua, angrily. "lou are Utter off than I am. I have tu work for all I get. You get your board, clothes and pocket money for nothing." "Other boys go to New York when they are much younger," "I have told you you can go when you like, but you mustn't expect me to supply the money." Mr. Drummond put on bit hat and ciossed tin street to tba store, leaving Jothua In a very unfillal frame of tolud. CIIAITFIt XI. Two days later two women entered Mr. Drummond' store. One was Joshua's customer und she woro the same shawl which she had purchased of him. It Imp-jit'-ned that Walter was out, but Mr. Drummond and Nichols were both behind the counter. "Have you got any more shawls like this''' asked tho first lady, whom we will uU Mm. Hlake. "Mrs. Hplcer, uhp If a neighbor of mine, liked It so well she vunts to get another Just like It." ;'j)id you buy this bawlaof us?" nuk ed' Mr. Drummond. "Yes, sir, I bought It about a furt night ago, and paid live dollars for It." "l'lve dollaml There must be some mistake. We never aell such a shawl as that for less than ten dollars." 'I can't help It," said Mrs. Illoke, pool lively, "I bought It here, and paid Dye dollar for It." "Why, those shawls cost me seven dol lars and a halt at wholesale. It 'la not 1LGCR, JR. likely I would sell them for five. Mr. Nlcholt," said Mr. Drummond, "did jou rV this lady the shawl she Is wearing, for five dollars)" "No, sir; I have not sold a shawl I'ke that for two month. I know the price tll enough, and I wouldn't sell It tor !- than ten dollars." "I didn't buy It of htm. I bought It cf .1 Niy," said Mrs. Hlake. "It mint have been that stupid Con rail." rsctaltncd Mr. Drummond, angrily. "Walt tilt he comes In, aud I'll haul h'tn oer the coal." "Then you won't let my friend have another like It for live dollar)" "No," said Mr, Drtimmoiid, provoked. "1 don't do business that way. I've let nearly three dollar by that shawl of yours. You ought to HMke up the whjle- stie price to me." "I sbau't do It." said Mr. Hlnke. "If you've made a mltake. It's your lookout. I wasn't willing to iay more than the dollars." The two ladles were about to leave the tore when Mr. DrumUMind said: 'The boy will U bark dim'tly. I wish you would wait a few minute, so that if he denlr It you can prove It upeu hint.' "I've cot a call to make," said Mr Hlake, "but I'll come In again In aUwt an hour.'' They left the store, and Mr. Drummond In-tan to berate the nbvnt Walter, tie wa provoked to find that he had lt twu dollar ami a half, ami. If Walter bud been In receipt of any wage, would hive slopped the amount out of hi salary. ItJt, unfortunately for this plan of reprUal, our hero received hi hoard only, ami that could not very we4l bo levied upon. However, he might have an me money In hi potmlou. and Mr. Drummond decid ed to require him to make up the lixs. "When did she say she Uiught the sbawl, Mr. Nichols)" asked hi employer. "Alout a fortnight ago." "Will you look on the books, and see if yon find the sale recorded) I am sur prised that It ecaed my attention." Nichot looked over the look of sale, and announced that no such entry could h found. Mr, Drummond was surprised. Though not Inclined to Judge others rf.iy too charitably, be bad never suspected Walter of dishonesty. "Are you sure you looked back far enough)" he asked. "Ye." satd Nichols; "to make sure. I looked back four weeks. The woman ild only a fortnight, you know," "I know. Then It seema Conrad has concealed the sale and kept the money." "IVrhapn," suggested Nichols, who rather liked Walter, "he forgot to put It down." "If he did, be forgot to put the money In the drawer, for the cash and the sales have always balanced. Ilea an ungrate ful young rascal," continued Mr. Drum mond, harshly. "After I took him into my house and treated- him as a son" this was not saying much. If Johua tie believed "be has robbed me In the most cold-blooded manner." Nichols was astonished by the evidence against our hero. He did not like to think him guilty, but it certainly seemed as if he must Is. "What are you going to do about It, Mr. Drummond)" he osked. "I supio I ought to have him arrest ed He deserves It." "I hop you won't do that. He may be able to explain It." "If I ilo not proceed to extremities, it will le on nccount of bis relationship, which I blush to acknowledge." The time bad been, and that not long since, when Mr. Drummond felt proud of hi relationship to the rich Squire Con rad, of Wllloughhy; but that was tx-fore his toss of property. Circumstance al ter case. Quite unconscious of the storm that wa gathering. Walter at this mo ment entered the store. "So you've got IxukV" said Mr. Drum mend, harshly. "You haven't Ixt-n In any jiartlcular hurry. However, that was not what I wlshol to speak to you about. We have made a discovery since you wtnt out, and not n very agreeable one." "I nm sorry for that," said Walter, uot knowing what elm was exiected of him. "No douM you are sorry," sneered Mr. Drummond. "I should think be would be, eb, Mr. Nichols)" "I am sorry also," said Nichols, who, thcugh rather weak-minded, was a good- hearted young man, "So am I sorry," said Mr, Drummond. "If strikes me I hate.most reason to bo sorry, considering that the loss has fallen on me. I have discovered bow you have repaid inn for my kindness. You didn't think I would find out, but your Iniquity lias providentially come to light." "I don't know what you are talking about, Mr, Drummond," said Walter, Im patiently. "I wish you would stop talk ing III riddles." "Did you ever witness such brazen ef frontery, Mr. Nk'boU)" demanded Mr, Drummond, turning to Id bead salesman ; "even when he I found out be brazen It out." "Wouldn't It be as well to tell hi in wlmt Is the matter, Mr, Drummond)" niked Nichols, who was In hope our hero would bo able to prove his Innocence, "To come to tho point, did you, or did you not, a fortnight since, sell one of those shawls, such at you see on the coun ter, for Are dollar)" "I did not," said Walter, promptly. "It might not bar been exactly a fort- night, Ilnvr you sold such ft shawl with u four weeks) "I have nut "old such n shawl since ine been tii your employ, Mr. Drum iiuiml." "You hear what In mj, Mr. Nichols," nld Mr. Druuimnml, "You sec how h add falsehood to dishonesty. Hut Hint I tint uncommon. It I only what I ex- petted. IK you mean tu say. Walter Con- rnd, that you didn't sell such a shawl mr live miliar only unit price ami, in stead of entering the sale, put the money into your own pocket)" "I do deny It nnt emphatically.
