"lam ruined, Jessie! My bank has failed, and my fortune is swept away. That is not all. Our old home is in the hands of creditors and I am a bankrupt a bankrupt at the age of fifty. " Jessie smiled bravely through her tears. "I am distressed on your account, papa dear, but you must not worry in the least over me. I have money, papa ; lots and lots of money. I have saved nearly two thousand dollars out of my allow- ance. We shall get along famously. I can more than earn my own living, and I shal...l see that you grow young again and regain all that you have lost. " That evening, in the modest apartments he had rented, General Garden told Jessie the story of his downfall. The unexpected depreciation of a certain stock, coupled with heavy demands on his bank, had forced him to the wall. Randolph Morris was his principal creditor, and negotiations were then in progress by which he hoped to transfer his L. & O. Stock to Mr. Morris, in consideration of a loan which would enable him to settle with his minor creditors.
