John Rorlnn was a country boy who
had gone to the city to make his for
tune. He had parted, the night before
leaving home, with Mabel Burroughs
at the gate of her father's home, both
pledging themselves to bo true to eucli
other till John's return, when lie had
become successful, and they would he
married.
Mabel was n practical girl. She bad
known of other young men goiug to
the city to make their fortunes, some
of whom had come back threadbare
and hungry and some remained away,
but she had never heard of any of
them making fortunes. Ono had been
crushed under the wheels of the jug
gernaut car that rolls over those who
fall In the struggle In a great city.
While John wns picturing to her how
he would work early and late, saving
all he made except for a bare living,
she listened donbtingly.
“Anyway, Johnny, whether you come
back rich or poor, you'll find me here
watting for you, and I’ll welcome you
Just as heartily If you are poor ns if
you are rich. But against one thing
let me caution you. If you And that
the battle Is going against you come
back. Don’t stay lu the city to be
crushed.”
John promised, and with a long em
brace they parted.
When John rolled on the ruised
tracks through the outskirts of the
city end saw the miles and miles of
houses, the throngs, the truffle, his
heart sank within him. But he re
pressed the feeling of despondency,
gritted his teeth and resolved that he
would succeed. He had read the story
of Whittington, who went to Londou
a poor boy, became discouraged at the
sight of the great city in the distance
and resolved to go back to his home.
But he heard the bells ringing, and
they seemed to say, "Turn again,
Whittington, lord mayor of London."
He entered the city and became enor
mously rich.
This story, familiar to many a school
boy, came back to John Borlan and
gave him courage. When he alighted
from the train he felt strong enough
to breast the tide that seemed rising
to oppose him.
The game of life is similar to a game
of cards. If wo have good cards,
which is the same as having good luck
we win. A few there are with such
aptitude for the game that they may
win with poor cards; but, generally
speaking, poor cards mean the loss of
the game. In other words, success
comes with opportunity.
John Borlan found one bit of op
portunity in the city or. what is the
same thing, a bit of luck. But this did
not come to him for several years aft
er he had entered the fray there. On
his arrival he spent a month looking
for a Job and just as his money ran
out found one in running an elevator.
A gentleman whose business was in
the building took a fancy to him and
gave him a subordinate position. Doit
this man failed, and John was thrown
out. Again he walked the streets hunt
ing a job.
John's hardships are not interesting,
and I will pass over them for his op
portunity. After drifting a long while,
sometimes earning a few dollars a
week and sometimes hungry for food,
when in the latter condition be remem
bered his promise to Mabel that If lie
found the bottle going against him he
would go back to the country. At the
time of his arrival he had put away
enough to pay his fare on the train,
but he had spent it for sustenance, tie
had no money to take him borne, but
he resolved to keep Ills promise and
■would set out the next morning to
tramp the distance.
To one person in the metropolis be
resolved to say goodb.v. That was the
man who bad given him a position
when he was running an elevator. On
his way to this friend lie saw at Ills
feet on the sidewalk a poebetbook. He
picked it up. It was rectangular In
form, about six inches long by three
wide. Just large enough to hold a bank
bill not folded Opening it. be found
a number of such bills Inside. He
closed the poeketbook without count
ing them and looked about to see It
any eye was u[>on him. Since no oue
seemed to be observing him be thrust
his find into his pocket, for he desired
to have time to think over what he
Bhonld do In the premises. Finding a
place where he would be alone he
counted the money lie had found.
There was $3T>4.
Johnny was one of those men who
cannot bring themselves to appropri
ate anything belonging to another. Be
sides. he had the sense to discover that
anything so appropriated would do him
no good and might do him harm. He
I certainly could not return to Mabel
! without an effort to find the owner
I of this money for she would condemn
him If he did. He knew that the own
er would advertise the loss of his prop
erty. and it was his duty to look for
j such advertisement.
The next morning he went to a news-
! paper stand kept by a man he knew
and received permission to examine the
' principal journals. He found n notice
of the loss and the offer of half the
Average Tobacco Consumption.

Belgium second and the United States
third.
contents for the return of the poeket
book at a given location.
Johnny went to the place named and
found a seedy looking tnau who proved
to him that he was the owner of the
poeketbook by giving the exact num
ber of bills It contained. John was
about to extract the reward when the
owner said to him:
"There were certain vouchers in the
poeketbook which are m«se valuable
to me than money. Are they with the
bills?"
There nre uo vouchers and were
none when I found the poeketbook,"
was John's reply.
The man began to storm at John,
calling him n thief, and while doing so
attempted to snatch the poeketbook.
John resisted, and a scuffle ensued.
Tenants lu rooms adjoining came in
and, seeing what was taking place,
called the police, and the two oppo
nents were arrested and taken to a
station.
When the case came up for examina
tion the justice directed that the owner
of the property in question bring suit
against John for the recovery of his
property. This having beeu done, the
Justice assigned John counsel, and the
case of Hargrave versus Borlan was
tried ut once.
Hargrave told how he had lost his
poeketbook. He had been walking the
street when he was jostled by some
men. He shouted for the police, and
the men ran. On reaching home ho
discovered his loss. He supposed that
the robbers hod dropped the pocket-
book in their (light.
John's counsel, a lawyer named Dex
ter, advised his client to summon ns
many persons as possible who knew
him to testify to his honesty. This
wns done, and quite a number were
present. After taking their testimony
Dexter called Hargrave to the stand.
“Why did you not mention in your
advertisement." asked the lawyer, "the
vouchers you claim were in the poek
etbook ?"
Because they were not money and
of no value to any one but me.”
What wns the nature of the vouch
ers?"
The witness hesitated, then claimed
that thoy were receipted bills for
money expended.
Before the case went to the jury
Dexter claimed that he had proved
John’s good character and that there
was neither any evidence that he hnd
stolen the vouchers nor any necessity
for such evidence, because if he hnd
been n thief he would have taken the
money nnd left the vouchers instead
of taking the vouchers nud leaving the
money. He also claimed that his client
had a cause of action against Hargrave
for slander and that the evidence hnd
shown the plaintiff to be a miser. To
this the Judge ndded Instructions that
were favorable to the defendant.
When the verdict was brought in the
foreman said that the jury had found
for the defendant. Since the pocket-
book contained other articles than had
been mentioned by the advertiser, it
could not be the one for which he hnd
advertised. Therefore the property be
longed to the defendant until a claim
ant for It could prove that it wns his.
Before John nnd his counsel had left
the court Hargrave’s counsel came to
John and offered, on behalf of his
client, nil the money that was In It
and $100 for the book. Dexter at once
■became suspicious and made an exami
nation of the poeketbook. One side
being remarkable for Its tbickness. he
Inserted his knife between it and the
lining and took out seven $1,000 bills.
He at once called his client to him
for a private conference and showed
him the find. John was astonished,
■but he had decided to return both the
money lie hnd found and ttie pocket-
book to Hargrave, to whom he believed
It rightfully belonged. He now took
the same ground with respect to the
■oonoeuled bills.
•You will do no such thing," said
the lawyer. ",I am acting In your In
terest. nnd It is my business to protect
you in your rights. The miser tried
to bent you out of the reward offered
and accused you of being a thief.
Leave the matter to me and I will
make an equitable settlement for you.”
John -finally consented to abide by
whatever his counsel did In the mat
ter, and after a long conference with
Hargrave's attorney John's lawyer an
nounced that a compromise bad been
effected by which one-half of all the
contents should go to John and the
rest to Hargrave, this being the reward
offered lti the advertisement for the
property.
“And now. young man.” added Dex
ter. “1 would advise you to take the
money that tons come to you and go
back to the country. You are not fit
ted to make your way In the city.
There is plenty of honesty here, but
there Is a lot of sharp practice. You
would be better where you were bom
and raised If .von remain here this
money will soon slip through your fin
gers."
When John asked his lawyer for his
hill for legal services he waR surprised
at the modest charge of $10.
John returned to the country witta
his capital and found Mabel waiting
for him. Notwithstanding his lawyer's
opinion she did not like to have him
take money that he had found. After
much conference they decided to use
it for a starter and If they succeeded
in rolling up a snowball to resign it.
John bought a farm. They were mar
ried and prospered. At the end of
five years they inquired for the miser
from whom it had been derived and.
finding that he had died, gave the
funds to charity.
It was thus that John Borlan found
bis opportunity. But he never refer
red to it with pleasure and felt relieved
when he turned it over to those who
he considered had a bet'ter right to It
than himself. To this his friends as
sert that Providence designed him as
an agent to turn It Into a useful chan
net.
