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. In the per capita consumption of obacco Holland leads the world, with 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. One View of Foreign Travel.
