did not expect this.’ He then turned oil' abrupt
ly and left lire store.
Poor .Jacobs was terribly disappointed at this
unexpected issue, lie had watched all of Wood
fall's operations with an anxious eye, counting
every dollar that lie made, and seeing in his evi
dent prosperity the surety for his money. Hut
now the fond hope, so long cherished, of recover
ing his own, faded away, and left his mind in
gloom and despondency.
On the next day he met Woodfall in the street,
and was about passing him. when that individual
paused, reached out bis hand and said, with the
most perfect self possession, and as if nothing had
happened to interfern with their friendly rela
tions—
‘ Alt, good morning, friend Jacobs, flow are
you to-day?*
* I am well.*
* How are you getting on now V pursued
Woodfall.
4 Badly enough,’ was briefly returned.
‘Iam really sorry to hear it. But don’t be
discouraged ; there is nothing like perseverance.
It is one of the main springs of success.’
This made Jacobs angry, and he said with a
good deal of warmth—
4 There is little good in perseverance, if, at last,
yon are to lose the hard earnings of four or five
years at a single stroke of an insolvent’s pen.’
4 You allude to me, I suppose ?’
41 certainly do.’
4 Don’t make yourself uneasy, my friend ; that
matter is safe enough. 1 will pay you every cent
I owe you before long.”
4 Didn’t you deny being my debtor to the a
mount of a single cent, yesterday ?’
4 1 did ; but that was in the presence of a wit
ness. Do you understand ? I am not quite ready
to pay you, and don’t intend acknowledging the
debt until I am. But make yourself easy about
it; your money is safe enough.’
Thus answered, Jacobs felt relieved in mind.
His business was bad, not really yielding him a
comfortable support for his family ; but the promise
of Woodfall buoyed him up, and inspired him
with new energy. He counted on his five hun
dred dollars as certain, for his debtor was making
money last, and would, without doubt, feel per
fectly able in a little while to make all straight
with him.
