election, measured by its effect upon
business, was 1500,000,000. It is stated
that the clearinghouse reports show thii
estimate to be correct.

Will backward turn to haunt some oM

Perchance some mouldering chamber,now in
dearth
of all that fitted it onca with neaca nr mirth?
Eo not like them, if such poor souls there bo;
Seek not thy joys iu memory's hollow
Nor make thyself a ghost therein to
But rise to nobler life, an 1 thou shalt soo
All that deserved tliy love arise with thee.

Her mother helped her to dress for the

The ~, , kradly . tone of the man reassured
p o Mly, and she told her story simply, in
a manner that convinced most ot her
fearers of its truth, tne member of the
j Howo.er, mm* • I**

“With whom are you staying in the
city?” he asked.
“With Mr, James Martin’s family on

“Very well. I shall go with you to Mr.
Slartiu’s house, and see how much of

Folly’s tears and confusion only
strengthened the man in his icsolvc, arid
she was forced to walk home with him,
fteiiug more than ever like a criminal.
Mr. Martin happened to be at home,
aid easiiy convinced Polly’s escort that
she had told h rn the truth; but she could
not shake off her feelings of intense
chagrin and humiliation.
The next day she gladly turned hcr
face homeward, resol zed to tell the whole
story to her parents at once. It was
