CHAPTER I " What makes you look so dull this morning, Ellen ?" inquired Mr. Chester a young merchant in a small way, of his wife. They had been married about a year, and thus far not an ill-natured word had been spo ken by them. At his marriage, Chester had ta ken a small but neat and convenient house, in the upper part of the city. He had been able to furnish it only in a plain manner ; but since his marriage hi; business had added many lit tle articles of luxury to his small establish mint. The " times" had began to tighten up. how ever, and business was dull. The notes were due, and he had to bestir himself to make his payments. Fortunately for him, however, as the stringency in the money market began to weigh most heavily, his father's administrators` placed him in possession of two thousand dol lars, which bad been reserved to await the con tingencies of a law suit, and which had now been satisfactorily adjusted. With this sum he had been able to pny off his more pressing demands, and to lay by a surplus of live hundred dollars, to meet a note which would fall due some two months hence. The receipt of this sum had also induced him to increase the luxuries of his house. The par• lm• had been newly furnished, and the old par lor furniture placed in the sittitig room. They had everything that was necessary for comfort, and for a creditable appearance in the world. '• You look very dull," continued the hus band, as he rose from the breakftst table. Ellen looked up at him with a languid smile, but made no reply. • What ails You ?' 1 was thinking how lonesome I should be here all day,' replied she. ' Lonesome! Why don't you go out then, and take the air ? Walk down Washington street, round the common—it will revive your spirits.' ' How absurd you talk ! Walk found the Common in the month of December I—Why I should freeze to [lentil.' ' Not so bad as that,' replied the young hus band, chucking his wife under the chin. •Go to the Atheneum and see the pictures.' • I couldn't do that every day, and you don't know how lonesome I am • Can't you read ?' I don't want to read all the time.' ' Read part of the time, then.' ' But Fred, I have been thinking of some thing,' and a smile played upon the pretty lips of the young wife. • What, Ellen ?' ' I miss something in our house.' • De you ?' 0, very much indeed.' Well, Ellen. wliat is it ?' A piano, it would be so nice to practice these long dreary days. I should be as happy as a princess if I only had a piano.' Mrs. Chester's father was in affluent circnm• stances, and before she was married slip had been accustomed to many luxuries which her husband's limited means would not permit him to provide. But Ellen, I can't afford a piano. The times have not been so hard for ten years.' 'You have five hundred dollars in the bank.' . But I have reserved that to pay all notes.' Don't you expect to make enough •to pay EMI It is very doubtful ; my business hardly pays expenses.' • You will be able to pay that I know,' con tinued the eloquent petitioner. ' Well, well. my dear, you shall have the piano.' ' Yon are a dear husband ! You will get me ono of Chickering's ?' ' Any kind you please my dear.' And before dinner time the instrument came home, and Mrs. Chester was as happy as a piano could possibly make her, albeit she had little idea of the significance of 'three per cent. a month," and. protested notes. CHAPTER II Men said the times would be better, but the prophecy was vain. Merchants failed, brokers failed, hanks and insurance companies failed. Business was duller than it had been for the last twenty years. Poor men lounged at the corners of the streets, vainly waiting for n job, while the wives and children shivered with the cold and hungered even for a crust of bread. Ruin and disease were the order of the day, and men wondered where would be the cud of it all., Fred Chester's business did not pay his shop expenses, to say nothing of his household, and when that dreadful note became due he had not a dollar towards redeeMing it. Ruin stared him in the face, and it.was now his turn to look sad. Five hundred dollars was a small sum, yet he could not raise it. Even three per cent. a month, without " collateral" would not pro cure it. Something must be done. Some friend must get him out of the scrape, or he must certainly fail. His wife's father was wealthy, but he had married his daughter against his wishes, and there was no hope in that quarter. But Ellen's uncle, a blunt, hon. est master mason, had always looked kindly upon him, and perhaps he would 'open his purse strings. The note was due on the following day and he decided to make the application to uncle Luke as he was familiarly called. In the course of the forenoon, however, he happened to call at the store, and Fred stated his posi- tion. Eh 1' said the blunt • old mechanic. I thought f things were going on swimmingly with you, So they were, but the times are so deucedly hard that I cannot make enough to pay expen ses,' replied Fred with a dolorous expression of countenance. Where's the two thousand dollars which you received from your father's estate ?'

I will.' Somehow, in spite of the extraordinary prep arations Ellen had made for the reception of the uncle, the dinner did not pass very pleasantly. There %•as a reserve on his part which threw cold water on the whole afftir. But it was fin ished at last to the !chief of all. ' Now, uncle, come into the parlor. and El len shall play you a tnne or two on her piano,' said Eyed; leading the way. ' On her what ?' said the old man with a start ot surpi ice. On her piano, of comae.' ' Then you keep a piano ?' ' Certainly, we could not get along without one, could_we, Ellen ?' ' I'm sure we couldn't' replied tho young wife ' Oh, it is such n comfort.' Such a luxury, yon mean,' answered Lithe, with a cold sneer, what did you give for it ?' • Five hundred.' Is it paid Inr ?' ' Certainly it is.' ' And your note due to morrow which you cannot meet.' Fred glanced at Ellen, who looked as woe begone as though she had lost every friend she had on earth. • It was not his limit, uncle ; I teased it out of him,' said she. • Then he is a bigger fool than I took him to,' replied Uncle Luke, contemptuously.— ' And when he is not doing business enough to pay expenses, you dine on roast turkey, and all manner• of fancy stult' Uncle Luke, though conscious that ho was meddling with that which did not concern him, could not control his indignation at the wanton extravagance of the 'young people. He felt kindly towards them as he always had, and though his words were harsh and cold, ho in. tended to do them a kindness. Yes, and Ellen, you wear n silk gown for every day, and to crown the whole you have got a piano. Do you expect to pay your notes in this manner. Fred ?' continued he, `here is the secret of hard times—extravagance—silk dressed, roast turkeys, ice creams and pianos.' Things were going very well with me when I bought the piano,' suggested Fred. 'No matter, you are a fool. Now I want to tell you what the Philosopher's Stone is.' I. ncic Luke paused and looked coldly into the eyes of the young merchant. • ` Well, uncle, What is it ?' ' Live within your means. If you do, not earn but a dollar spend only "seventy-five cents,' and Uncle Luke put on his great coat and had edged towards the door without even alluding to the important topic in which Fred felt so touch interest. • But Uncle !Mice can you lend me the mon ey I want ?' asked Fred, dismayed at the thought of failure. No, I cannot.' ' 'nun I must fail.' You ought to have thought of that when you bought the piano.' replied Uncle Luke, sternly. Do you know Waters the carpenter ?' Yes.' • Apply to him and ho will lend you the mon- ey.' • But he is almost a stranger to me.' ' No matter, go to him, and Uncle Luke let the house. ' Oh, Fred, this is all my fault,' said Ellen, bursting into tears. Fred did apply to . Walters. • What-security can you give ?' asked the carpenter. • I don't know,' replied Fred, doubtingly. ' Mr stock is all mortgaged.' • household Furhiture ?' • • No.' ' What have you got ?' ' A piano, and ' That will do, give me a bill of sale•of that. If not paid within thirty days the piano is mine. Fred assented and received the money. The papers were executed, and Fred got out of the scrape. During the succeeding thirty days ho tried hard to raise the money to redeem the piano, without success. Waters took it at the ap pointed time, and' seemed perfectly satisfied with his bargain.
