It was almost like chill- ing to see an old friend. 'Perhaps you would like to seo Miss Daly,' Fresh- water said to me just now!; and 'By 'love! I should,' I told him. And that is the reason for my troubling you." "No trouble at all," said Miss Daly, smiling again, and taking up her pen, at which significant hint he turned to go away, holding out his hand once more to her after a monaert's hesitse tion.

Two months had gone by before Ma- jor Crawshaw entered. the huge cara- vansary again. It was six in the even- ing when be commenced his dinner there; it was half past eight ere he had finished his last glass of claret, over which he had brooded in a strange, melaiaoholic fashion. It was a quarter to nine when he took the liberty of Pro- ceeding to the counting -house, which Miss Daly was thinking of closing for the night as he appeared. Good ,eveningieMiss Daly.

"Why should you think that ?" he asked, almost peremptorily. "I thought you dined here very fre- quently—at least I understood you to say so, remarked AI* Daly. I did say so. I -aged to dine here very frequeetly," said the major ; "but I have altered my habits lately." "Besides," he added, with a sudden- ness which made iiliss Daly jump, "I did not want to be a spy 'again upon you and nay nephew. I—I thought if he chose to corae here, and had made up his mind to come here, I had better keep away, and leave you to s your- selves." "That was very kind of you," said Miss Daly, quietly ; "but his mamma and sisters would have been very much alarmed; and not at all obliged. to yore" "I don't care," said the naajor, bluffly., "Oh, but you did care once." "I'm not afraid now of your making a fool of my nephew, or of my nephew's being able to make a fool of you," he said. "And it has struck me that if he svere really in love with you, he could not have a more sensible wife, and the sooner you settled the matter the bet— ter, if it's. coming round to that. There." "Thank you," said Miss Daly. "And if he has said anything to you —he's infernally sly, and I pardt make • him out at all—I should like—" "I have not spoken to Mr. Todd.

The major looked astonished; but he took her hand, promised not to tell young Todd, hoped he hacl_not offended her, and went his way. He came very regularly to the Inter- national after thie ; he altered his hab- its again. He was evidently a man not veryblong of one mind, thought Miss Daly. , The Old Cronies' Club, Pall Mall, saw very little of him once more. Es peace and rest, its capacious arm- chairs in the snaoke-room, its snug din- ing room, where the viands svere to his taste, and. the waiters not hungry for fees, were all deserted for the stir and bustle of the flash establishment at Lambeth Bridge, and the mixed as- sembly which poured into its main - moth dining room every evening at six, and talked and laughed loudly, and took too much wine at dinner now and then, and went out red-faced and star- ing into the streets. was in the counting-laouse-Lsafe in the counting-house—a;nd that. no young Todd was hanging about the doors, and that was enough for him and hia pur- pose. For his purpose, thought Miss Daly, a little indignant, now and then, was to keep his eye upon her, to .suS- pect • her; his mission in life was' to keep guard on his nephew and herself, despite all that she had said. As if she were not to he !believed and trusted ; as if he bad any right to :watch her in this odd, meaningless fashionl as if it answered . any good purpose, dr would , have been of any use, had she been dis- posed to assert her rights, au.d.elude his old-fashioned vigilance. And yet he was not a spy, and scarce- ly acted like one. He had expressed his horror of playing the spy even, and reseemed an earnest, thoughtful, grave ,igentleman at most times. She won- dered why he came so often to the In- ternational, for she was sure he did not like the hotel, and she could not under- stand why he put. himself out of the way so frequently to exchange a few words with Mr. Freelawater, she being also, sure that he did. not like Mr. Freshwater, whose manners were ob- trusive and "loud," and whose hea,c1 had been not a little turned by the success of his mammoth establishment. , Ile must come to make sure his nephew was not hovering about gill, othersdise there seemed to be no valid reason v to rendee tel before he should take so much pains himself uneomfertable.

He scowled at the min -i isters—there were three divines to tie up young Todd.and his bride securely ! he prompted young Todd in his re- sponses in an unnecessarily high key ; he swore profanely at the beadle on the church steps for getting in his way and tumbling over him, iu undue haste to participate in the geueral distribution of fees ; and at the wedding breakfast he was graver and erimmer than befit- ted the occasion. IL was very 'thought- ful, also, and made but a clumsy, splut- tering speech in return for soine one proposing the bridegroom's relatives, and sat down disturbed in temper af- terwards at his own miserable failure.

Our reasons for ,this determination will be found. fully set forth under the follow- ing heading:, : While doing a credit business it is impossible to avoid contracting bad debts, for the reason that if credit is given to one man his neighbor expects it aleo, and if refused will be offended.. When the goods are required, the cus- tomer may be perfectly solvent, but owing to unforseen events, may be bank- rupt before the time for payment ar- rives. Every busiuess man who does a credit business loses, annually, large sums in this way. These losses have to be made up by good. paying customers. If these losses were not incurred the goods could, be sold at just so much less profit, as the good would not be requir- ed to pay for goods purchased by the bad. payers. We have determined to avoid. these bad debts in future, and give our customers the benefit. Nearly every business man who becomes dnsolvent, his bad debth were at the bottom of his misfortunes. LONG WiNDED PAYERS. or the mann affect him What was th (To be Continued.) What a truly beautiful world we live in! 'Na- ture gives tis grandeur of mountains, glens and Oceans, and thousands of meane for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and wor- ried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily obtain satisfattory proof that Green's August Flower will make them hs free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint is the direct cense of seventy-five per cent. of euch maladies as Bil- iousness Indigestion, Siek Headache, Costiveness, Nervous 'Prostration Dizziness of the Heaa, Pal- pitation of the Heart:, and other distressing symp- toms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it. There is another class of cus which attach to the credit syste which may be designated as winded payers." These are pe good for all they buy, but requir one to three years' time. The on that such customers can be made promptly is to sue them, and this alternative which no business ma to resort to. These long wiude tomers are numerous, and as the t man has to pay cash for his stoc wages, on account of them, he mu roW money with which to meet hi ments. For this money he mus heavy interest. This interest he to his selling price, and thus,•agai prompt payer is taxed for the negli of his long winded neighbor.'

We will now state what we intepd doing ourselves : FIRST—On and ..after the 22nd of September our books will be closed, and frorn aud after that date no credit ruwi111e. be given. No exceptions to this SECOND.—We will mark our goods at a figure so low that no dealer who does not do a strictly cash business can compete with us. Small profits and quick returns will be our motto. THIRD—We will keep, as ,formerly, all grades of work, including our own manufacture. Our stock, for variety and choice, is unsurpassed in. this sec- tion of the country. FOURTH — We are determined to collect all outstanding debts forthwith, and all long-standing accounts will be' placedin Court without further notice. FIPTH—Iia our new departure we expect to be even more liberally sus- tained than in the past. We call upon all who, pay their way, and. who want to get the best value for their money, to aid us in doing away with the pernici- ous credit system, by extending to us their custom and paying their money. We will make it well worth their while to do so. THE GREAT SALE 7'10— CONTINUE THIRTY DAYS LONGER Piles of Thy Goods still left at 1?ogers'.
