The day for the family party arrived, and
Robert With's* was there, w:th his bag ot

was. They ..sore all seated et the tablet
and so the middle of the meal there was •

the eller son, in surprise.
1 don't know,- replied her husbwod,
but hearing the mud go •lunar the passage
he said, " Sarah has gone to see, and we
shell soon know."
In a minute or two Sarah came back and
said, " Mr t;illott wishes to see Mr Rob-
ert Witham', and is waiting in the sitting-
room."
The old men got up front the table in or-
, der to answer the summons of hie friend.
and return in a few minutes. As he took
his place again one of the women said -
-' 1 wonder what was the business that
caused Mr. Gillett to acme and disturb
father !"
" Oh, nothing much, ' he said with •
smile.
" But, father, ' she said. " 1 know it is
something interesting, for it makes you
smile so.'
" Then 111 tell you, my dear," he re
p11ed. " Mr. Gillett is a very old friend of
mise, but is rather hard up, w he come to
borrow 1:200."
" And oome in vain, I suppose!" she
asked.
"Oh, no," he replied. " I happened to
have at with me, and so 1 let him have it.''
There was •11402 Xi et the table for the rest
of the meal, which was only broken by the d

were handed from one to another. w
