"When thoy reached the sitting-room, Wilton Cunningham cloned the door, and then taking a scat, he drew Alice to his side, and told her all that had transpired. His voice was firm, for he had schooled himself to the task. "And now," he Continued, as he finished his St?ry, l,I have thought, Alice, that it would be bettor for inc to tell you this than to have it conic to you from other lips. 1 know not how it will turn out, but 1 fear that I shall be un able to disprove Mr Randall's) charge. In all probability I shall this evening be called before 'Squire Bullard tor examination, and the event cannot but cast a foul stain upon my reputation. It is a painful thing.to be situated thus, for others must sutler besides myself; but you, Alice. I would free from?" Wilton hesitated and wiped a tear from his eye, but he soon gain his sell-posse.-sinn, though his voice fullered as he conti tied : "You know our relations, dear Alice, but if this stain falls upon ine. I must release you from your vows. One so pure as you should not he united with a man upon whose name even a suspicion of crime can fasten itself. It is like taking my life itself thus to?" uHold, Wilton." uttered the lair girl, who had managed thus far to keep back her tears. "Arc you guilty of this thing"'" "It is cruel to ask me that. Alice." "I ask it. nevertheless." '?As there is a Cod who hears me now, the thought, even, of such a crime never entered my mind. The person does not live who can ^ay-,with. truth-thai.. .1 ,^vy??-^?,?ti^?hai?iiiaMifc ! "her." j "I believe you." returned Alice, hiving her ; hand upon Wilton's shoulder and gazing aflcc tinnately into his lace. "1 Ituow you. and j knowing you as I do. 1 shall never forsake you. When 1 promised to be yours for life. 1 did it upon mature deliberation, nor did I mean that the fust time the cold breath of slander or sus picion fell upon you, that 1 should throw you I off." ?Noble, generous girl!" murmured Will on. as he wound his arm about her. ? this takes away half the sting; but you must remember well what you do." "I hiuni- what 1 would d.i. Wilton. Ah, if I could forsake you in your tmblo, how unwor thy should I he of the sacrttl office of xci/c! Rut tell me. have you no suspicious ? You say that for some time various small .sums of money have been taken from Randall's drawer." ? Yes. dearest ; fVrr over a year there have frequently been discrepancies between cash re corded and the amount in the drawer : but. in many eases, it has been the result of Mr. Ran dall's own carelessness in taking money during the day for small purchases without giving a] minute of it ; but. some instances. I know that money has been stolen." "And have you no suspicions of who took j it ?" :isked Alice, with much carncstnc&s. "I do not know who took it. and it would he ungenerous to tell of mere suspicions." "Well, I have my suspicions." said Alice. "I was in the Store lifter you went away to Blip last Wednesday evening, ami 1 waited some time for yon t.'. come back, but 1 got tired ; so I came away without seeing you." "Weli," utteici t?? jnungmah. tu almost j breathless anxiety, '-did yon mc anything out! of the way ?" "Not that 1 know of; but while 1 was there. I saw Mr. Randall go iiwsi) from the de.-k where you write, ami put some heavy pieces of silver into the money-drawer, and when he went out of the store, I went too. for 1 did not like to remain alter he had gone." "That was probably the money he marked,* and it was after he had gone ho.ta that that money was taken*, for when the drawer was taken out of the safe, the next morning, he says it was gone ; and it was after that, too, that I paid Mr. Willcy." For sonic tiiuc Alice Drake- sat in deep thought. Her lingers' ends were placed upon her brow, and weighty ideas scorned revolving in her mind. At length she raised her head, and in a hopeful tone, she said : ??You have many friends, Wilton, and some who may help you iu this emergency. I will myself seek them. Ah. there goes 'Squire Rullard now. Von had better return to your own cottage, and, trust inc. a woman's wit may he a match for them all." "Hut 1 cannot consent to this. Alice, that you should?" "Let inc. have my own way this time," inter rupted Alice, ? and I aKftirc you that you .'hall ' not often find me so stubborn. The merest ac cident in the world may turn the whole currcut o| affairs." j| "Well, he it as you like," returned Wilton, as .-ho arose from his scat, "though it will be a nicety accident that Bottles this in my favor, though God knows it would be a juBt one.",' CHAPTER V. .THE DENOUEMENT. Shortly afterwards young Cunningham kissed Alice, and then turned his steps towurds his home. Ho hud been in the house but a short time before be saw Alice ride post alone in her father's wagon. He had not yet dared to tell his mother that he expected to be taken to a lawyer's office, and rather than she should know ?of it till the result hud appeared, he resolved to seek Mr. Randall ore he should be scut for, and with this view ho told his mother merely that lie. was going- to the store, and then left the house. Before he reached the store, however, he met the deputy-sheriff, who already held an order for bis arrest, Mr. Randall having en tered a complaint. .^It was not until after dark that Wilton Cun ningham was convoyed to the office of Mr. Bul lard,- and who,'! be arrived he found not only Uiiaccuser and bis witness there, but also sev eral'of the towns-people besides. jjjThose who know anything about the prelimi nary examination of a complaint in one of ou^r country lawyers' offices, understand pretty well the latitude that is generally given to not only witnesses, but also to plaintiff andi defen dant. ? .Mr. Bullard opened by reading Mr. Run (hill's charge, to which Wilton, of course, re sponded ;,uot guilty." Randall then made bis statement in full. His sou. Lymail, was called upon to testify to the tiiet that money had fre quently been stolen from his drawer. Just ns young Randall was delivering his testimony with a brazen-faced, off-hand manner, old farm er Jones entered the office, followed by Alice Drake and Murk Loud, the latter of whom was a hostlor in Mr. Willoy's stable. * jg^KajT 1 -ab'^'ti jiniT^r *'h^n br ?aw Jouo? ou ter, fur he did not like the man at all ; but Lynmn betrayed the most trepidation, and why will shortly he seen. Mr. Willcy was then, called upon for his evi dence, which he gave with precision and confi dence. ' This thing looks rather dark," remarked Mr. Bullard. bending a sort of compassionate look upon Wilton. 4i 'Squire," said fanner Jones, in his usual blunt way. rising slowly to bis feet, "I don't know much about your law regulations, but 1 I 'spose you wouldn't have no objections to my asking a few quest ions just about as I've a ! mind to V ! "Certainly not," returned the lawyer, with an air of deference, for farmer Jones was one of the most honest, upright and iufluenti.il men in the town. I "Well, then, 'Squire ; 'bout an hour ago Miss Alico Drake come driviu' up to my bouse, an' asked mo if I didn't remember of bein' in Randall's store last Wednesday ni^bt, an', of course. 1 remember it. though I don't 'gposu 1 should ever have thought of it agin in the world, if she hadn't 'ave mentioned it. Well. I come right down with her, and at ween us both we've got up a considerable story. Now, I slmuld just like to ask Mr. Kamlall where his son was Sunday 'fore last." "lie was at P-Hill, to attend meeting all day," returned Kamlall; but when he saw how bis son trembled, be evinced some strong misgivings on that point. "Raytlier guess you're mistaken on that point." said .Jones. "1 saw him an* old Samp son's b>y. with one of Mr. Willcy's wagons post in' off airly iu the inornin' in another ?II- j rectiv:,i a" ' '' ? mistaken, they spent a good part of the day "h Thompson's Pond a fishiu'." Mr. liandall turned sharply upon his son. and ask:d if that was true. Lynmn at first dc liicd the gentle insinuation, but. at length, he was obliged to own it. "Well, that's so much gained," continued Jones; und then, with lawyer-like tact, he turned to .Mr. Willcy. "Mr. Willcy," said he. ?bow do you know that Wilton .Cunningham gave you that crossed dollar that liandall lost out of his drawer V "Because no one else paid me any such mon ey on that day." answered Willcy. "Where did you put that money when you got it '(" "In my drawer." "And doCMi't somebody elso ever go to that drawer?" "No one but Mark Loud." "Well, continued Jones, "last Wednesday night I left my horse in your shed, and after the store was shut up 1 went after hiin, and just as I was onhitchin' him, Mr. Lynmn Han dall steps in and pays Mark Loud for the horso he had the Sunday hefore, though ho didn't notice me when he did it. When I turned into the rdrcct, T . nv Alice Drake, au' I offered <rt carry her home, though I had to go sonic dis tance out of iuy way. As we were riding aloug, we got to speaking about Randall, an' 1 (told her all about Lyman'? ridin* off Sundays, an' that's they way she happened to hit ou ma in this case." "Rut what has all this to do with my com plaint ?" asked Randall, in considerable pas sion. "Only just this," returned. Jones, with a pe culiar 15c-: "It was your son that paid that crossed dollar t t'lt's a fact," said Mark Loud, Inur ing up from his seat. "Lyman Randall paid it to iue for the horse, and I put it into the drawer with sonic of the others, and if you'll look on the book, you'll find that I gave him credit fru it." . "I remember now that I noticed the credit," said Mr. Willcy ; "but there was only the same number of silver dollars that I put in there myself, for I counted them." "Because I gave ono of them to'Snm Ken dall in change fur a two dollar bill,*" explained Mark, "and that was before I took the dollar of Lyman." "And how do you know that it was the crossed dollar you took of my son 1" asked Mr. Randall "Because I took particular notice of it," re turned Loud. "You see when the Portland stage got in, and after the horses were put up, the driver wanted to conW and evjen' with me to sec who should' carry the moiL up to- the- post office; sol lookout this dollar?for I hadn't had a chance to carry it iuto the office,?and I agreed to let him guess on the date of that, und when 1 come to look at the figures. I found a little cross that looked as though it had been cut in with a knife, and one end of it catue right down to the date. If that's the dollar that Randall's got#you'll find it just as I've said." This produced quite a marked sensation j and when Mr. Randall was asked to show the dol lar, he freely acknowledged, though with accu mulated wrath, that there was no need of it. '?Then, of course, you withdraw your com* plaint," said Bullard. "Yes." returned Rand.-vJl; and then turning savagely upon his son, he hissed out from be tween his clenched teeth : "Lyman. you scamp, you shall suffer for this. Come, six, aud I'll teach?" Rut the hoy did not choose to hear any more, for quickly turning at bay. he retorted : ??Now look here, father, you'd better keep dark, for 1 think lean till some things its mil as you.'" Klias Randall was humbled in a moment, and like a whipped cur. he turned to leave the office ; but before he did so he beard farmer Jones remark : '?Like lather like son. The boy's learned his lesson well!" There were tears in Wilton Cunningham's eyes when lie took Alice by the hand, but he could not speak ; nor could she. for her excite ment had been too great; but of one thing I am sure : in.loss than two short months, they had spoken to some purpose, for they had become one for life, ami on the Monday after wards. Wilton opened a large store with a freely-loaned capital of eight thousand dollars. Just seven years have passed away since then. Mr. Randall lost all his customers in loss than a year after the opening of the new store, for, through Cunningham's honest trading, the people fouud how shamefully they had been cheated, and the latter has not' only cleared enough to refund his borrowed capital, but he has gained a large circle of true hearted friends, such as true honest worth never fails to win: Lyman aud Randall was just in time to take the fit>t "Oregon fever;" while his father went to Canada, and entered iuto horse trading, but lit) one ever bought a horse of him the second time, and he has surely lived to appreciato the old ailage: ? lie who swims in sins, will sink in K;o?'cr sorrows."

In a year or two these tops will take rend, and when well rooted, cut the branches containing these reversed and rooted branches with the tree proper, and this revorsed peach tree will pro duce fine peaches without stones." The same experiment may be. tried with plums, cherries, and currants.
