Troubled came in troops. "Looking.over hfijp. fntlici'"8 papers one day, Amy disco'verea a note addressed to her.' It, was in the neat band .of.-the( general. It told her that lie wrote' llvi$ for her in ease anything should happen to liitn?that IhcAVOjh^ after ho wan gone, mighl judge min anil-.-. That he had, it is true, wronged her, l.is s>\Yeci, beloved daughter; that he had been false to b.is trusteeship; that their.moj^a; were all gone with the broken land bub ble?that his heart and thought were long sitk with the seciot of it ; thnt, .May the 10th ?f such a year, he bad found his cash unaccountably short, and .no man yet know it. If he lived long enough he should mal e it up; yes, make it up, every eent; but Amy must wait for hers; perhaps be. could never make that up, and if be did not, would hi.s darling duughter forgive him? "Amy bowed beneath this blow. Now appeared the reason of the un paid bills and the ill-supplied household. And the thought came to the stricken girl, how once sho hail proposed to sell a share of her bank stock and buy a gold watch and chain, and on New Year's morning she found them under her breakfast cup, a present front her falb er. I get all this from sister Noll, of whom she made a confident. Yes, Hal, Amy bowed as the lily bows when blown upon. She was lily without and rock within. She sent for Roy Elwcll. She pressed Hoy until she drew from the reluctant fellow the affair as viewed by the directors. It was a plain caso to them. A land enterprise?an oppoitu? i nity for making money?and the cashier yielding to temptation, borrowed the funds of the bank, thinking to enrich Himself/ and return the money. Thoy were all the more ready to look on the dark side for him, as many of their dol lars had gono the way of Iiis. The fever had been among them, too. '?This pojrit of vKew was not plain to Amy. Through Elwcll, who had been cashier after the death of the "general, oho obtained pui'mii?sion from the officers, to make a personal examination of the books, to be aided by Roy!

The search among the contents of tho (loset was assigned for the next day. Was it narrowed t > tills, the ehAncb'of finding a valuable paper in the rubbish? She would havo had mure heart, but for the knowledge of those occasional hand Tills taken for kindling.

He proposed going up to see. Boy wont ahead and opened the skylight. Tho place was dusty as a grave, and just au jolly.
