Want of space forbids our copying some good things from this little volume, but the following will interest not a few of our readers: \u2014\u2018 \u2018Baldness is more common in men than jin women, but both are alike subject to certain predisposing influences, such as heredity, debilitating fevera such as typhoid general ill health, neuralgia, gout, sudden shock, inflammation of the skin of the scalp, called eczema, and the general worries of life that lower the vitality.Why, then, are young men bald sooner than women?The truth is that among the upper classes, who suffer in this respect more than their poorer brethren, the habits are not conducive to growth, even though they may in no way affect the general health.After the morning bath the head is vigorously rubbed with a rough towel, and if this dries the hair it is quickly wetted again in order to make it, with the aid of a pair of hard brushes, lie smooth.All this scrubbing and wetting refreshes the body, no doubt, and has a very exhilerating effect generally, but it is bad treatment for the hair, much of which is rubbed or brushed out.But this is not all.After breakfast the crown of the head is encased, as with a tight band, in\\ the upright hat of civilization, which encircling the forehead at the temples, cuts off much of the pure blood supply intended for the 85 scalp, and at the same time cauess nervous congestion by pressure on the superficial veins.Hence it is that baldness generally begins on the temples and crown, while it rarely, iu- deed attacks the back of the scalp, which is nourished by other blood vessels so deeply seated as to escape pressure.The hair, however between the coat collar and the hat, that is never covered, always remains long after the rest has been shed.But the conventional hat does more than con- trict the vessels.As it possesses no means of ventilation worth the name, the skin within it soon becomes heated, and perspiration follows, and this causes the hair to rot and to fall off.\u201d mao \u2018Gentle as the Breese of Bvening.Thie line of un old hymn is quite appropriate when appiied to \u2018Pleasant Purgu- tive Pelieta.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t like to take pills it 1 can avoid it,\u201d we often hear persons av, \u201cbecause they constipate me ro.\u201d Now the \u201cPellets\u201d usver do thin.They are #0 gentle and mild that their effet is almost precisely similar to @ natural movement of the bowels, 81.d uo unpleasant effects are left behind.[SSE A bag of hot sand relieves neuralgia.WASHINGTON LETTER.(Fron our Regular Correspondent.) Wasningron, D.C., Nov.19, 1886.The week has been & very quiet one here.So thoroughly engrossed is the President in the preparation of his message, that he cannot endure the slightest interruption.He sees ouly those persons who come to the White House at his request, those whom he wishes to consult on important business.\u2018The approaches to him are carefully guarded, and he is left in seclusion with Col.Lamont.The Capitol presents a busy scene of preparation for the approaching session.It is an immense work to renovate this great marble structure inside and out, even once a year.JIn- cluding the recent extcnsion at its base, the marble terrace which surrounds the North, West and South sides of the Capitol, replacing the grassy earth work previously the building covers about five acres, and one will have to walk half a mile to go around it.This improvement adds much to the height of the building and gives it much better proportion.Formerly, when seen from a distance, it looked too low for its great length and width.An optimistic Senator says the approaching session will be one of unusual activity.He thinks the House will be in condition for harmonious, energetic action.The defeated members are free from restraint and at liberty to do what they think right, and the re-elected members have the re-assuring knowledge that they have two years in which to heal over any trouble they may make for themselves now among their constituents.He draws the inference that all the President's recommendations will carry more weight and meet a more ready response than they did a year ago, and that the second session of the Forty-Ninth Congress will accomplish more than the first in one half the time.Many novelties are wandering about through the sphere of political economy now, and bills of new character will be introduced in Congress this winter.Questions relating to the wage winners of the world overshadow other things.Labor has caught the ear of mankind at last, and the greatest and mightiest have paused and listened respectfully to what it has to say.Among the new schemes being earnestly pressed by political economists whose aim is to relieve the sad features in the life\u2019 of the toilers, is one providing that helpless old people be cared for by the state after reaching the age of sixty-two.To raise the requisite fund for this plan, it is propose that youth be compelled to look out for old age in the following manner: For each child born the parents are to deposit ten dollars withe government, which is to be placed to the credit of the inatitu- tion at a fair rate of interest, and the deposits of those who die are to be transferred to the credit of the surviving members of the same class or year.Forty dollars is the minimum sum with which a person can sustain life for une year, but in order lo give the old that assistance which would relieve it from care, it is proposed to give the sum of $90 yearly to needy persons after they have passed their seventy second year.At seventy-three most persons are incapable of manual labor but from sixty-two to seventy-three many are able to earn something, and therefore the pension can be graded in those years, increasing each succeeding year until reaches $90, and this amount is to be continued until death.This is of course, merely one of the many plans that are suggested in behalf of the poor man, but itis one that will appeal to his heart.To feel that absolute want will not overtake him in the evening of life would greatly relieve the hardships of manbood, and the trying conditions of the pres- eut could be faced with greater courage.\u2018 There is little doubt that the curious question will be tugging energetically at the heart strings of this nation before a great while, and that Congress will have to deal with itor something similar.Evidently nothing can be done at the approaching short session, but the leaders of the labor movement are credited with an intention of urging the President to call an extra sension of the Fiftleth Congress as soon as the present one adjourns, tor the purpose of considering legislation in the interest of the workingmen.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014@>-\u2014 \u2018Yes, Mr.Oldboy,\u201d she simpered, I have seen 27 springs.Would you think it?\u201cWell, yes, ma'am, I don\u2019t know but what 1 would,\u201d

SNOWSHOE, Sam Graves in Hartfurd Evening Pist.November.Without, the snow is silently falling, and the wind sighs softly through the leafless trees.No- vember\u2014the eve of winter, and this year it shall overtake me, not in the little village in Canada that I call home, but hundreds of miles south, in another country, another clime.And a8 I sit in my room my gaze wanders to the other side and there, hanging against the wall, are my old snow shoes, silent reminders of the happy times gone by.Old friends are we, and many are the long tramps, that of a moonlit evening were taken together, independent of path or roadway, when O\u2019r hill and dale the snow is spread, And silences our hurried tread ; The pines bend low, and to sud fro The maples toas their boughs o'er head.In the corner stands my toboggan; serving the humble position of photograph and card holder.Is it, too, longing for a return of the old times when it sped down the long, narrow chute, carrying its precious freight?Why, the old fellow ssmed almost endowed with life, and many times I've almost imagined I've seen him shake with laughter as some old lady for the first time gathered her skirts together and nervously took a seat, and when, after much misgiving and many expostulations, she reluctantly gave the word, away he would shoot down the long icy slide, scare the old lady almost to death by careening from side to side and then deposit her with a dull thud and in a convenient drift at the bottom.Then the pleasure of taking down a young fellow and his sweetheart.How evenly he would travel, giving the best of chance to encircle her waist\u2014to hold her on of course -and then when about half way out, to give a sudden swerve, and, OUT THEY WOULD SPILL, laughing, struggling, sliding to the bottom, where they would recapture the toboggan and scale the slippery hill for another run.Yes, I think, \u2018if it remembers at all,\u201d it remembers those old time ; but they are now numbered among the pleasures of the past, and all we have left is the pleasant memories that we share together.And, perhaps, if I should trundle my table to the window and in the fading light transpoee my thoughts to paper, they might interest some readers of the Post.If so, and you will take a seat in this fairy car of ours, borne on the wings of imagination, we will shortly find ourselves away up in a handsome little village in Canada, surrounded by a troupe of ladies and gentlemen, all wearing the hlanket uniform, under the dome of an evening sky.And what an cvening! The sky of a deep, dark, fathomless blue, the moon at its full, and shining with a clear silvery light; the earth lies still, white and beautiful under the pale clear beams; the hard frost makes the tall leafless trees look darker, and the hoar frost shines and sparkles in the light of the moon.The wind wails softly among the trees, nodding their tall heads, and shaking minature snow storms from their great limbs.But we must not wasle precious lime admiring this lovely scene, but follow the example set us hy the others, and tie on our snow shoes, \u2018time has not changed them\u201d \u2014that were originally invented to agsiat the ved-gkin in crossing the snow ip pursuit of game.No modern science or ingenuity has been able to better them ; they are the SAME OLD INDIAN SNOWSHOES.refined a little, perhaps, by time, nothing more.But now we are ready and away we go in Indian file, with a long, steady, sweepting stride, o'er hill, through valley and dale, not a vestige of anything is to be seen, not even the fençes ; everything is covered from eight from this robe of lustrous white.How keen and dry is the air! How good it feels to drink in great chests full of this pure, life-giving oxy- gerr: How musical the snow crunches under foot ; what harmonious ring has every voice! Our gaze pierces vast distances, seeing remote objects, that at other times would be invisible.Presently some one starts the old snow shoeing song, and as, onc by one, they join in, their voices float out clear and distinct in the evening air: Hillop, hillpo.hilloo, hilloo Gather, rather yo men in white The winde blo« keenly, tl e moon is bright, The sparkling snow lies firm and white.Tie on the shoes, no time to lore.We must be over the hills to-night, And so with an occasional snatch of song, and many a merry peal of laughter, we tramp along till the \u201calide\u201d in reached, and then what a gals spectacle greets our sight.But let us not spend our time in admiring it now, but as soon us possible secure a badge that we may join in the sport.The proper official is at last found, and after making know our request, we are given à tri-colored ribbon, on which in gold is printed the name of the.club, \u2018Genesta,\u201d appropriately named, as it would be à grand slide indeed that would take the broom from it.And now as we wait, TOBOUGAN IN HAXD, for our turn, let us look about us.Away from our feet stretches the magnificent 630-foot chute, with a run at the end as long again.The whole has been thoroughly iced till it resembles a track of silver in the glare of innumerable torches adorn ils either side.To our right rises a dark, frowning forest, making a hackground for this ever moving panorama.At the foot of the hill lies the frozen viver, and the merry shout of a gay party, that have driven down its smooth surface, from above is borne on the breeze to our ears.We are admiring the pretty picture the club cafe, with its blazing lights and ever changing throngs, when we are called to ourselves by the sharp \u201cNext\u201d of the attendant at the head of the chute, so with a hearty confidence we seat ourselves on the thin sled, trust ourselves to the steerer, give the word, the lever is pulled and away we go.But how shall I proceed?What pen can describe the sensation of a first slide.The terror of the start, the lightning speed, strongly suggestive of peril, the frail feather of a thing flying against the wind, down, down, it scems as though it must be to certain destruction, and then the gradual easing off, the perfect feeling of security and pleasure, the thirst for more, the longing to try it again, and the unconsciousness of fatigue.Who, I say, can describe it?What rapture of life is richer?And then the supper at the restaurant on the hill.How good the common food, with the sweet sauce of hunger added tastes.And after all to again BUCKLE ON THE SHOES, sling our toboggau strap over our shoulders and turn our faces toward home, with the merry voices of many remaining sliders, ringing in our ears, singing.Ani shout \u2018so the RRA?hear us, Sorrow may wail in to-morrow\u2019s gale, But tonight she shall not come near us! Ar swiftly we race in the down-hill chase, That she with her sad tears blind us, Can never keep up with our flying pace, But is left in the shade behind Se And as the last notes die out on the air, we alight from our car and find ourselves at home again.Has it heen an interesting journey to you?I hope s0.And now after accompanying me through these bright aceues, can you wonder that I sit idly here picturing to myself that far away home, in that country that Providence has endowed with A lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly.A hearty season to stimulate men to activity in work and sport, to develop a hardy race, and inspire poets ?That I let my mind revert back to those many hours I have spent in these glorious and rare sports?To imagine myself again clothed in truly national rig, of blanket and toque, and again feel the rush of wind in my face as, seated upon my trusty old hickory toboggan, I speed down the chute?Ah, when would I weary of musing and writing of those happy times of yore.But I should like to sec interest enough created so that a club might be formed to erect u slide here in Hartford, and I think, yes, am certain, that if rightly managed, it would amply repay them for any time and 1nouey they might devate to it.J A Race for Life.Mrs.John White, living a few miles from this village, has a mounted rat- tle-snake skin four feet and a half long, with an imperfect set of rattles in the tail, which she is proud to show to visitors, while relating how the snake, when alive, chased her, though involuntarily, for nearly half a mile, and kept up the chase cven after it was dead.Mrs.White was standing by the roadside one warm day, when she hoard a rattlesnake sound its \u201cbell\u201d immediately behind her, and at the tame time felt a tug at the skirt of her dress.She looked around quickly and saw that a hig rattlesnake had struck at her, and that its fangs were fast in the bottom of her dress.Mrs.White started on a run for home.The snake's fangs were so securely fastened in the dress that the snake was carried along.Mrs.White ran go fast that the rattlesnake was whipped and snapped about like the tail of a Kite.: The house was almost half a mile away, and when Mrs.White reached her door she was so much overcome by ber fright that she fainted on the doorstep.Her daughter ran out.When sho saw the snake, with its fangs fast in her mother\u2019s dress, and her mother lying pale on the stepe, she suppose that the snake had bitten her mother and killed her, and the girl ran screaming to & neighbor's half a mile further on, where she alarmed the household with the news that her mother had been killed by a rattlesnake.A man ran back to White's.Mrs.White had revived sufficiently to drag herself into the house.The snake was dead, aud was stil fast in the dress.The thrashing on the stones and against the ground had beaten the life out of it and broken off the lower part of its rattles.Seven were left, from the size and gradation of which it was calculated that the perfect set contained at least 13.The snake was skinned and mounted and has ever since been an object of great curiosity in the community.The shock to Mrs.White prostrated her for several days.\u2014From a (Pa.)

Monthly for November.We may call it a hea- en home if we will, but it is still a home, and replete with suggestive home history.Well do I remember one such, n grand old house of solid timber, 69 feet broad hy 100 deep, with lofty rooms and long, wide corridors.Its one story had an immense and imposing sloping roof, which covered 14 upartments and many balconies.The sliding partitions could all be removed and wake on occasion a noble hall with many columns.The ceiling was made of fine-grained wood, and fifteen feet from the floor.The front of his house was protected from the inquisitive gaze of the world by a wall of tiles built with cement, and lined with a row of firs with mighty girth and far-spreading branches which \u2018measure their height by rods and their shadows by furlongs.\u201d The main gate of the court yard was supported by heavy tree trunks, and covered with a handsome roof, while just within was the porter\u2019s lodge.Near this lodge was a clump of evergreens, and under their shadow stood ao ark cut from solid stone, perhaps four feet high, used as the family shrine, and boldng in its depths sacred cmblems and holy symbols.Just beyond was a rockery of great beauty, where fountains tossed their spray and played with the sun noonbeams.Here and there the mockunji tree shed its purple blsosoms to the breeze from lofty heights, while azalias and starry asters blossomed about its foot.All about the garden, camellias of their lovely buds from low growing shrubs, while now aad then a cawellia tree towering fifty feet in the air drew the eye with its lovely waxlike blossoms.\u201cA Pleasant Girl.\u201d An Easiern paper says that a traveler in Norway, last summer, came to a village early one morning, and was struck by the air of gloom that pervaded the streets.Unable tospeak a word of the language, he could not ask the cause of this, and concluded that sme sickness or financial trouble had fallen upon the community.As the day wore on towards noon, however, the houses were closed, shop windows were covered; all trade and business ceased.It was death, then.Presently he saw the people gathering for the funeral.There were the village official, the nobleman from the neighboring chateau, and apparently every man, woman and child, in the village.It must be some dignitary of the church who is dead, or some other county official.As he stood watching the crowds passing down the little, rocky street, he caught sight of the face of a German known to him.He beckoned to him.\u2018The town has lost some great magnate apparently?\u201d \u201cAL, no.It

we treated as an cvery-day matter while she was with us.Go into a family or social circle, or even into & ball-room, and the woman who bas the most friends there, as à rule, is not the belle, nor the

York World of last Saturday contains nearly s column article under the head line \u2018\u2018Anothar Row in Church\u201d in which is set forth the unhappy state of affairs existing at the Madison Avenup Congregational church.From the article referred to we learn that the church is out of existence as a place of worship, the church edifice being now the property of and under occupancy by the faith- healing sect led by the Rev.A.B.Simpson.Literally speaking, the church is not yet dead, for the church organization is not yet extinct, having never been annulled.Just now, however, the majority of the board of trustees is in favor of winding up the affairs of the society, being opposed in their efforts by a minority of the members.The source of the present conteution centers in the pastor now at the head of the society, the Rev.W.F.Price.This gentleman, a man 30 years old, a Harvard graduate, was engaged to minister to the flock last October.Prior to that he had preached in this city his first call.* The young minister was accepted at a yearly salary of $2,500.Several members of the board of trustees, however, ussert that Mr.Price was accepted to the pastoral charge with a full knowledge of the financial straits of the society, as well as of the likelihood of its collapse in the near future.Knowing these things, they say he promised to resign when so requested, not only for his own sake, but out of accommodation to the trustees, who might desire to wind up the affairs of the society forever.Last April meetings were discontinued altogether.A meeting of the hoard of trustees was called, at which the youthful pastor was present.Then the now opposing factions of th: society seem to have struck their first difference under Mr.Price\u2019s leadership.At that meeting it is asserted that Mr.Price\u2019s resignation was called for in accordance with his alleged promise, so made when he accepted the call.He agreed to resign, so the story goes, October lst, meantime to be paid his regular salary, as well as to receive a $500 bonus.He came to New Yoak, it is said, with recommendations saying that he had won $1,000 in prizes at Harvard, while the college records show that his only \u201c\u2018briifisct red pHvest White ANTON fprite WA of for excellence in elocution.The little episode of Mr.Price with Rev.Dr.Cook at the Cheshire house, faithfully recounted in the Cleshire Republican at the time of its occurrence, and which was republished in newspapers throughout the country was referred to.In an interview with a World reporter Mr.Price said : There is a covspiracy against me in the church.I have, in private ®on- versation, said 1 would not resign, hut 1 bave never so announced my intention at a meeting of the society.I will resign whenever I am asked to by à full meeting of all the church members, many of whom do not ask me for my resignation.I am anxious to be pastor until I see that the money in the treasury is properly disposed of It is even possible that the church can be put on a solid footing once more.1 am willing to have the mouey given to the Congregational union.If my enemies have anything damaging to my character, I'm sure I don\u2019t know where they got it.1 am innocent of any charge of misconduct prior to my coming here.\u2014 Chesire Republicon, October 15.* Mr.Price\u2019s first \u201ccall\u201d was to the

a power that uses him to step upon ; to grow fat upon by devouring him; and that takes the manhood out of him.We need say nothing against the saloonkeeper ; we need to indulge in no tirade against rum; not to preach against the drinking of intoxicating liquors on moral grounds; nor to say a word about prohibition or license ; it is enough to point to tbe spectacle of the workingman\u2019s delivering himself over to a degrading life where the brute is developed in him and his ennobling qualities are suppressed.It is the degradation of the man that is so conspicuous; he throws himself away and for nothing.After his hard day\u2019s lsbor he goes to the saloon and in an hour he has nothing to show for that labor\u2014nothing but stupidity, or a drunken fight, or a crime committed.The workingman wbo can make no better showing than this for the expenditure of his day's wages is a fool \u2014yes worse than a fool, for the workingman has respousibilifies for his conduct that the fool has not.The workingman may as well say to his fellows: \u2018Let's work hard every day for ten years and see how rich we can make the saloonkeeper on the our- ner ; we will then make hin a bcodie alderman, so that he may become richer.\u201d Yet this is what is done in many cities in this country though the workingmen may not plan it beforehand.What worse could a workingman do with his earnings than to spend them for drink?He might better throw them into the river or bury them in the ground, for then there would be no tyrant ruling over him.Wages well cared for will roturn a vast amount of happiness to the workingman.Js it better to ov.2 howe, or to be in the clutches of ih: saloun- keeper?Is it better to have inoney laid by for a rainy day, cr ts b.suak in wretchedness and poverty?\u201d The saloon receives you in welcome when you have money and kicks you out when it is gone.It takes you a man and makes you a beast.It consumes your energies and thrives while you depart a beggar.It is useless to quote the figares of the nation\u2019s annual liquor bill; to this workmen contribute millions, that they may deprive themselves of comforts and never get near enough to a luxury to know what it is like.They part with millions that might be invested in homes, in the education of children and securities.What many 8 workman suffers from to-day is a want of savings.By these he might elevate himself; he might be a lender instead of a borrower; he might become an employer as well as employed ; he would buy cheaper for cash than he does now for credit; he would be happy in temperance, in a good home, in having promising children, in the respect he would receive from the public, in the confidence that he would have in his manhood.Above all, he would not be making a fool of himself by dumping his wages into a saloon.A Hundred Years Ago.It is not an easy matter to obtain accurate information of the condition of the laboring classes in America a century ago, but enough is known to assure us that the condition of the Ia- boring man of to-day is vastly im- days when the Republic was founded and the wars of the American Revolution were on.Both as regards wages and the comforts of the laboring man, times are vastly improved.In the matter of clothes the stuff was meaner, the food coarser, and wages one-half what they are at present.A man who performed unskilled labor\u2014 sawed wood, mended roads, mixed mortar, carried wood to the carpenter, or helped in harvest time\u2014received two shillings (50.) a day.If at the end of the week he touk home to his family fifteen shillings\u2014a sum now about as much as four dollars\u2014he was lucky, indeed.It was only by the strickest econcmy that the half- starved mechanic could raise his family.His dwelling possessed few of the ornaments and refinements which dec- rate many a mechanic's home to-day.Carpets were unheard of ; sand sprink- and china were unkown, and pewter furnished the material for all table ware.Matches were unheard of,\u2018and cooking stoves not invented.The wife struck a flint, or borrowed some coals from a neighbor, and cooked a rude coarse meal.He was lucky if he tasted fresh meat once a week.Corn was three shillings a bushel, wheat eight shilliugs and sixpence, a pound of salt pork ten pence.Fruits were comparatively unknown.Cane taloupes, tomatoes rhubarb, caulifiow- ers, egg plant, letluce, and many varieties of pears and peaches were unheard of one hundred years ago, and such luxuries as oranges and hananas were unknown even to the rich, while the fox grape was the only delicacy in the grape line that came to the market.The olothing of the citizen was such as no tramp would wear nowadays.Coarse leather breeches, a checked shirt, red flannel jacket, rusty hat, cocked at the corners, shoe of neat- skin set off with brass buckles, and a leather apron, completed the citizen's scant wardrobe.The leather was greased to keep it soft and flexible.Ore.A Hancock oounty, Ill, farmer sex à wolf-tran in his corn-crib, and the next morning found his near neighbor in dhe crib with both hands fast in the trap.\u2014\u2014 An Auburn, N.Y.,

I \u2014 The Stanstead Journal.THURSDAY DECEMBER 3, 1886.Quebec reports say there will be some fifteen cases of contested elections to the local Legislature, including Stanstead.\u2018The cry of coercion is again raised in Ireland.This arises from the fact that in the collection of rents under the agreement entered into by which rents are greatly reduced from former standards, the \u2018Nationalists\u2019 have interfered by holding meetings and advising, it is alleged, the renters not to pay.The constabulary have been called upon to break up these meetings and arrest Mr.Dillon and other nationalists so acting.It is hinted that the nationalists are attempting to provoke agrarian outrages with the purpose of provoking coercion measures.The leaders, O\u2019Brien, Dillon and O'Connor can make little reputation by posing as martyrs, but are doing great harm to the interests of Ireland.\u2014\u2014\u2014 We are asked the question \u2018\u2018when is the general election to take place ?\u201d Editors are supposed to know almost everything, but this query is a poser.We don\u2019t know, vou know, aud the same state of blissful ignorance prevails among the press gang of Canada generally.The Globe, we believe, gave the note of warning which set the Liberal camp in a flutter and their candidates at work.The Government have not indicated in any manner the speedy dissolution of Parliament, and consequent election of a new Parliament.It is evident that a general election will not take place until after the Ontario election, which Mr.Mowat sprang so suddenly upon that Prov- vinee.As that election will not be decided until the latter part of December, another election could not be held before the last of January if following immediately, which is not very probable.Items have been floating around the press for some time in relation to a new extradition treaty between Great Britain and the United States.That a modification of the present treaty is desirable is undisputable, as both countries are suffering from the presence of the rascals who flee from their native country \u2018\u2018for their country\u2019s good.\u201d It is now reported that the British Minister of Foreign Affairs has, in conjunction with Minister Phelps, U.8.Minister to England, agreed upon a treaty under which fugitives that are believed to have committed the following crimes in one country and fled to the other country, shall be delivered up, viz: \u2014Murder, manslaughter, rape, piracy, arson, coun- terfeiling, forgery, burglary, \u2018embezzlement larceny of $20 or more, fraud or embezzlement by any agent, trus- tree or officer of a municipality or corporation, ahduction, seduction or perjury.Political offences are excluded as before.The treaty to go into effect within thirty days after its ratification by the treaty making powers of the two governments.The new treaty lias been submitted to the Canadian government for suggestions, and has probably met their approval, as Canada has been the safe retreat of a large number of States ahsquatu- lators of various kinds.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Thing of Beauty.In past years the rage at Christmas time and long before has been the purchasing of Christmas cards for friends abroad as souvenirs.This year a change is taking place.The Montreal Star is bringing out a superb Christmas number, a mammoth paper of wondrous beauty, with twen- tyeight pages of magnificent illustrations, including a fac simile of the great picture purchased by Sir Donald Smith, at the Morgan sale, New York, at a cost of forty-five thousand dollars, about which the curiosity of a whole continent has been aroused.The engraving on the Star's picture is something of a rare delicacy.Besides the twenty-eight pages of illustrations there are stories, sketches and poems by the best authors.Professor Grant, of Queen's College, has written a powerful article, which every Canadian man, woman and child should read, while there is something from the pen of Professor Roberts, Nova Scotia, George Murray, Montreal, absorbing stories by E.W.Thompson, Toronto, poems by Poet Laureate Frechette and others, together with a large 22x28 plate supplement, said to be the most bewitching crayon ever issued on this side of the Atlantic.The whole of this paper, which competent critics say eclipses the London Graphic and Loudon illustrated News, is sent to any address for the amazingly small sum of 25 cents in postage stamps.\u2014 The publishers are Graham & Co., Montreal, who are giving beautiful prizes to the value of $300 to the little folk who write the most faithful short letter about the paper.\u2018This is really an age of wonders.Anybody who was fortunate enough to get a copy of the last Carnival Star will not be so much surprised at this latest piece of gigantic enterprise.The Mounted Police authorities at Ottawa have been notified that the recent robbery at Regiua was committed by Constable Cudlip.The five policemen who escaped with him simply deserted.No hope of capturing them is anticipated, as they are now across the lines.The amount stolen was $402.The report that the Blood Indians had murdered six whites in Southern Alberta is denied by the officials in the Indian department, They say there fs no truth whatever in the story.December Magazines.The December number of the Cex- TCRY colnmences the \u2018Life of Lin- ocoln,\u201d which promises to be the leading feature of the coming year.The first number contains a graphic account of the autecedants of the Lin- colu family.The second deals with Lincoln as soldier, lawyer and politician, and gives an epitome of life in the Mississippi Valley down to 1835.The work will be well illustrated.The opening articles are on Henry Clay, a prominent figure in American history for more than half a century.The \u2018art paper\u201d of the number is the first of a series on \u2018\u2018Comtemporary French Sculpture.\u201d The second half of \u201cOld Chelsen,\u201d is chatty and lively, and finely illustrated.\u2018The Food Question in America and Europe\u201d is a vital and suggestive study, by Edward Atkinson, of the victualling question as related to labor and wages, the comparison being favorable to this continent.A curious article is **A Little Mil- lerite,\u201d being reminiscences of the excitement of 1843 and 1844, by Mrs.Jane Marsh Parker.The topic in the war series is \u2018The Second day at Gettysburg,\u201d by General Henry J.Hunt and E.M.Law.In memoranda are notes on the \u2018Capitulation at Harper's Ferry\u201d **Ripley\u2019s Brigade at South Mountain,\u201d etc.The number contains two short stories by American writers.Mr.Howells novel, \u201cThe Mivister\u2019s Charge,\u201d is concluded.Stockton\u2019s \u2018\u2018Hundredth Man\u201d is continued and touches upon the boycott.The poetie department contains a variety of verses and the Editorial departmens deal with a variety of the topics of the times.ST.NicuoLas for December is a Christmas number.Mrs.Burnett\u2019s new tale, \u2018The Story of Prince Fairy- foot\u201d commences in this number, but in an entirely different vein from \u201cLittle Lord Fauntleroy,\u201d being a fairy tale.J.T.Trowbridge has a short story, and Frank Stockton contributes the first half of an entertaining shipwreck story.The most striking feature of the number is an article on \u2018How a Grcat Panorama is Made,\u201d by Theodore R.Davis, and is copiously illustrated.The number has excellent Christmas stories by J.R.Coryell and Rose Lattimore Alling.There are also a variety of illustrated verses, etc.The December Number of HArPER\u2019s MAGAZINE, jnst published, excels even its own high precedents as a Christmas feast of rich attractions.It is undoubtedly the most sumptuous number of HARPER'S MacaziNE that has ever been issued, and marks the acme of artistic and literary beauty in the periodical world.A specially holiday tone prevails throughout, from the charming frontispiece by Abbey to the clever Drawer plate by Du Mau- rier.Neatly half of the sixty cuts are full pages, and four are printed on plate-paper.The regular serials are omitted to provide larger space for the Christmas features.Every article and story is complete in itself.The place of honor is held by the extraordinary article on \u2018The Boy- loo®of Christ,\u201d by Lew Wallace, the author of \u2018\u2018Ben-Hur.\u201d W.D.Howells\u2019s farce, \u201cThe Mouse-trap,\u201d is fully equal to its predecessors, *\u2018The Register\u201d and \u201cThe Elevator,\u201d which distinguished the Christmas HARPER'S of 1884 and 1885.The same characters continue in new scenes with Reinhart\u2019s matchless illustrations.In Gibson's \u201cWood Notes\u201d the author-artist introduces us to many delight of his own experience in the woodland recesses of his favorite domain.The Number is unusuaily rich in short stories, containing no less than six, four of them admirably illustrated.The sprightliest, perhaps, is Thomas Nelson Page\u2019s Southern Christmas story, \u201cPolly,\u201d with Kemble\u2019s characteristic drawings.*\u201cThe White Garden\u201d is a delicate production by a new wiiter, Harriet Lewis Bradley, illustrated by Alfred Fredericks.Sarah O.Jewett contributes \u2018The King of Folly Island,\u201d a picture of eccentric and pathetic life on one of the Maine islands, with four excellent engraving after Dielman.\u2018La Mare Venus\u201d is a sketch by the artist George H.Boughton, A.R.A., recounting and illustrating a quaint portion of his professional life in Normandy.B.L.Farjcon\u2019s story \u2018Blind Willy\u201d is a strong English narrative of a devoted servant and his master.Among the wealth of illustrated poetry the familiar ballad \u2018Sally in our Alley\u201d is exquisitely elaborated by Abbes\u2019s eleven drawings.\u2018The Legend of Frey Bernardo,\u201d is finely illnstrated by Dielman, and Mrs.E.W.Latimer\u2019s Florentine subject,\u201d \u201cThe Legend of St.Nicholas,\u201d by Miss Mary L.Gow.Elihu Vedder's powerful painting, \u201cThe Cup of Death,\u201d is inserted as a plate engraving, with a poem by Louise Chandler Moulton.The poetical story of Western miner life in Wallace Bruce's \u201cInasmuch\u201d is effectively illustrated by A.B.Frost.The Editor's Easy Chair opens with a cordial Christmas greeting, discusses American politeness throws light upon the editorial method of dealing with contributions, and sketches the recent Deerfield Colonial Celebration.The Editor's Study discourses genially concerning several important biographies and other now publications.The Editor's Drawer, under Charles Dudley Warner's management, serves up a spicy sauce of humors, concluding with Du Mauriers Christmas view of English aristocratic life\u2014the first of a series of society sketches which will run through the year.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 To the Editor of the Stanstead Journal : Dear Sir:\u2014In closing my last communication it was not my intention to again trouble you or your readers with a matter which has been worn threadbare.However, Mr.Moore's recent letter seems to require some comment.His tactics are not new or original.Human nature, at its very best, is said to be weak and frail.He is not the first man, who, engaged even in a better cause than that espoused by him, has desired to draw his own indictment and to be tried before a tribunal of his own selecting.He goes even further.He prepares the charges and choses the umpire before whom he would have me appear.Magnanimous is Le not?Why does he not offer to prove his own assertions or pay the forfeiture?\u2018Turn the records up,\u201d look the correspondence, and it cannot be found that I bave stated that during the financial vear ending June 30th, 1879, Mr.Joly paid School Inspectors only $20,- 000.I have asserted that during the year 1879 he reduced this item of expenditure to that sum.In that year he passed the law so fixing it.Fortunately we hive over Mr.Moore\u2019s own signature his position.In his first letter he wrote as follows, expressing in substance what he said at the meeting: \u2018In 1880 the Conservatives were in power and paid the School Inspectors the sum of $20,000 only $8,625 less than was paid by the Joly Government.\u201d I questioned it.Hence the controversy.The proof is for him to make.In conclusion I beg to say, that upon a fair, impartial and honest statement of the question in issue I am willing to accept his offer and his tribunal.I am, Yours, &c., E.R.Jounsox.A Surprise from Ireland.Dusuix, November 26.\u2014The city is agitated by rumors of the wildest character relating to the Government's intention in regard to the suppression of the rent reduction agitators.Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chief secretary, and Gen.Buller have returned to the city, and have been in consultation all day at the Castle with the legal and military authorities.\u2018They attended a meeting of the Privy council yesterday, at which important measures were decided upon.The Marquis of Londonderry, lord lieutenant, who had intended to go to England, has postponed his departure.A great national meeting called at Sligo has been proclaimed.Another great ineeting of Nationalists called to assemble in the suburbs of Irishtown on Sunday will, it is thought, be prohibited.John Dillon has been summoned to appear in court on Monday to show cause why a criminal information should not be sworn out against him for publicly advising tenants to submit to eviction rather than pay rent.These evidences of the Government's intention to enter upon a vigorous policy are creating intense excitement throughout the country.The officials of the Irish national league do not appear to be disturbed.They are all pursuing their avocations in the ordinary way and ull of them say they have no idea of what the Government has decided to do if it has decided upon anything.The Irish Times (Conservative) says the Government has resolved to promptly suppress all anti-rent and other illegal combinations, to curtail the license of the press, to forcibly suppress intimidation, to enforce the laws governing the process for the collection of debts, to proclaim all meetings called for certain purposes and to arrest certain prominent agitators of the anti-rent policy.The Times also says it is reported that troops have been sent to the different points in the country where action against the anti- rent agitation is meant.The charge against John Dillon is that his language at the meeting held at Longford on the 7th instant led to an assault upon a bailiff and resistance to the execution of a decree, that at the Murroe meeting on Monday last he made a speech calculated to intimidate.The affidavit on which a summons was issued was made by the police inspectors and stenographers who were present at the meeting referred to.The citation calls upon Dillon to find sureties for his good behavior, in default of which he will be committed to jail.Messrs.Dillon and O\u2019Brien attended a meeting of Lord Dillon\u2019s tenants to-night.They urged the tenants to firmly resist all attempts to compel them to pay unjust rents.Mr.Dillon had arranged to speak at other meetings, and it is expected he will continue to fill all his engagements before he returns to Dublin.Oh his return he will probably give bail for trial and thus compel the Government to prove the illegality of his action at the Longford and Murroe meetings.The Government has ordered that all the taverns in Sligo be closed on Sunday.\u2014\u2014 Mr.J.R.Arnoldi, of the Public Works Department, Ottawa, has returned from New York and cities in the United States, where he was en- quring into the working of the electric light with a view to its adoption in the Canadian public service.Medical Graduates.Haxuver, N.H., Nov.28.\u2014The graduating exercises of the Dartmbuth medical college occurred at the college church to-night, Prof.C.P.Frost, presiding.The order of exercises were: Prayer by President Bartlett; address by George DD.Towne, M.D., of Manchester;

put a stop to navigation for the season.As fast as the lumber fleet arrive al Chicago the vessels are being stripped and sent into Winter quarters.Few of the lower lake vessels will leave port, and none but the propellers will make any attempt to do so.The season has been a good one as far as freights were concerned, but underwriters have suffered, and loss of life has been great.So far this season 33 vessels have been driven ashore or foundered.Not long ago the charred bodies of a family named Poe, living in Knox county, Ky., were found in the ruins of their house.Now, the ten-year- old son of a neighbor, and his concubine, whom the Poes slighted socially, says his father cut the throats of eight persons while they slept, and that his mother dragged them into the centre of the hut and set fire to them.After taking some articles from the house they fired it.The supposed wurder- ers are under arrest, and a scarch of their house has revealed a number of articles belonging to the

WEEKLY JOUR AL Las been warranted in putting forth the claims of a sterling New Eugland Newspaper based on its popular snd representative position ; and for the year 1887 it has to show an enhancement of these characteristics, not mereiy by the promise of the tuture, but by the performances of the paet, which are their vouchers.More than half a century of work and progress, in which THE Jourran has kept abreast of times when journalism made its most rapid strides, has given this paper a standing and stability that cannot be lightly questioned ; and instead of adding in price while gaining in ground for appreciation, it has minimized the cost to its readers; the reasonable rate of a dollar and a balf per annum being reluced to ONE DOLLAR, thus making it actually less than two cenis per week.COlub Rates.This reduction has not withdrawn any of the inducements to those who get up clubs.Ten copies and one extra to the organizer of a club, 10 Twenty copies and two extra, 20 One copy free to every ten subscribers.By these terms and in view of the journalistic value for which they stand, it is believed that our subscribers can congrat ulate themselves on securing the Cheapest New England Newspaper.For this trifling cost they can enjoy at their homes a journal which, unlike so many publications of the day, is in every way fit to enter there there, bringing with it an atmosphere of purity and unexcen- tivnable purpose, by no means inconsistent with a newsy, vivacious and engaging presentation of facts.To bea livingevidence of the truth that the morbid aud sensational are not essential to the pleasing qualities of a modern paper would seem to be in it- eelf a gratifying ground for existence ; aud supplementary to this is the proof in contravention of the theory that the day of the weebly paper as a vehicle of news is gone.To sift, to classify and put before the readers in most intelligible form Lhe news of the week is the continued purpose of Tus WEERLY JOURNAL; and in filhng this mission, so desirable in these days of fragmentary and misleading dispatches, the aim shall be to place the topics in the due perspective of importance from the standpoint of à New Liugland reader.The thirty-six ample columns will retain as heretofore the Gleanings and Gossip of distinctive interest to our population ; notes on the Industrial Avocations, Agricultural Maritime, Manufacturing wud Transportations; special reports on Marketa, Trade\u2019 and Labor, as well as Financial matters; Rambling Talks and Essays on Howe Topics ; correspondence from various parts of the world by our own correspondents; Congressional News; Political Jottings; Editorials on topics of living interest ; Po ems, Sketches, Miscellaneous and Household Matters.The excellent contributions of M.E.B, the Domesticana Articles, touching the varied interests of our lady renders, the Parisian Letters of Edward King, and the readuble sketches ot Kencbecker will de maintained ag interesting features throughout the year.The year 1887 bids fair to beonein which tiie advantages of a trustworthy medium of information will be specially called for, owing to the prospective developments ou matters touching the labor, taritt\u2019 and kindred questior.e and political disturbances both in America and the Old World.The changes 1n parties which | as caused many papers to become uncertain

Thank: Itwill save me five minutes.lake It in gold.\u201d He thrust an envelope into his friend's hand, and ran off without waiting for an answer.\u201cI say,\u201d said the Honorable Daffodil, \u201cwhy should I go tothe bank and do Dick's mes tages for him! I'm not his clerk, nor his father's clers, thouzh Norah is.Well, never mind.\u201d The bank lay ia his way to ths Crosby hall, where they proposed to take their dinner.He went in, presented the check without looking at it, receivel the money without counting it, dropped it in his pocket and went his way to the d.ninz place, where he met Dick and gave hm tho money They bad their dinner, and after dinner Daffodil went back to the hospital in Gower street, where he recsived with clieerfulness the congratulations of his friends on his accession to the family honors.These congratu'ations took the form common among medical students, who have, it inust be owned, small respect for hereditary rank.Yet, out of kindness, they promoted ther comrades, and gave him several steps in the peerage, calling the Right Honorable His Royal Highness Prince Daffodil CHAPTER 1V.\u201cWHO HAS DONE THIST' There were six checks lying before Mr.Murridge.All of them were drawn for ths same amount; all of them, in words and figures, were writen exactly alike, save for the date.Mr.Murridge himself wrote n small and well-marked hand, very neat and cleir\u2014each letter perfectly formed\u2014such a hand as might be expected of one who has been Lrought up ns an engraver.Yet, for that very reason.perhaps, easier to imitate than a more common and slovenly char- ac\u2018er.The signature, of these checks were 8) perfectly imitated that even Mr.Mur- ridge himself could cnly tell by the dates which were his own and which were forgeries, \u201cSix checks,\u201d hs sa'd.once more comparing the dates of ihe checks with his own diary, \u201cand four of them\u2014these four\u2014are forgeries.These four.\u201d Again he examined them closely.They were all drawn for the same amount \u2014namely, twelve pounds.It was nn estab- Lshed rule with this methodical man, a rule from which he never departed, always to draw the checks be wanted for priva'e and domestic use for the same amount\u2014namely, twelve pounds.This enabled him \u2018o know by a glance at the bank book how much he spent on his household.and on sa'aries, wages, personal expenses and office.Generally he drew this twelve pounds once a week Eometimes, however, he would have to draw oftener than once a week.But a check for twelve pounds, with his signature, payab'e to bearer, would be certainly cashed without suspicion or doubt when presented across the counter.The forger must have known that practice of his, Who did know it} He had before him, besides the checks themselves, his bank book cnd his check book.\u201cBix checks,\" he said, summing up the case, \u2018have been abstracted from the book; not taken altogether, which would have made a sensible gap in the book\u2014I should have noticed that at once\u2014but one taken here and one taken there, so as to escape observation.That was crafty, When oould I have left the check book lying about?and who would be in the office when I went out leaving It lying on the table?Kix checks.Four have teen presented and paid.There remain two more.\u201d Mr.Murridge\u2019s business was not one which required the continual paying into the bink of money and the drawing of many checks.He had his bank book made up once a month.His son generally called for it.On this oo- cesion be had himeelf, while passing the bank that very m: rning, three days before the usual time, look~d in and asked for it, Therefore it was probable that ths other two checks would be both presented before the customary day of sending for the bankbook.Evidently the writer of the checks knew perfectly well the routine of his office as well es bis signature.\u201cIs could not be the girl.\u201d said Mr.Mur.ridge; \u2018she could never imitate my handwriting, to begin with\u201d He looked at one of her papers.It was written in \u2018a large band, ratber clumsy, for Norah belonged to the generation which has not been taught to witty Sbatiy ps voi an inribiy.and the dav of the fine italian hand bas quite gone by.\u2018 Nobody why wrot> such a sprawling hand as bers could imitate even distantly Mr.Murridge's neat and clearly formed characters.\u201cShe may have stolen the checks for some ona, though.Khe may have a lover.Girls will do anything for their lovers Yet 1 have always thought her an honest girl The man who trusts any ons is a fool\" \u201cThe man who trusts any one is a foot\u201d Then h: thought of the office boy.He, too, was fuca able of such an imitation Yet he mi ht havo been put up to the job by some one outside, Very likely it was the loy.Mot likeiy it was the boy.There «sa nlo n (hird jerson who knew the Une of tbe offle», nud his own custoine rd sluicy tuiles Mr Murridge startod whem be thought of this third perse, and his face hardened for a momen:, but only for & moment, because the very possibility of such a thing cannot bo allowed to be considered.He placed all the checks with the bank book in his pocket, put on bis hat, and went slowly out of the office.He was so much troubled in his mind that be actually left the safe unlocked, and all his papers lying on the table, check book and all.This was a thing which he had never done before in his life, The office Loy observed this extraordinary neglect, and thought what a splendid chance would have been pres nted to Bpring-heel Jack had bis tyrant master left the safe open, Mr.Murridge was not the kind of person to begin by crying out that he was robbed.Not at all.He would first be able to lay his hand upon the man who did it.He therefore went to the bank manager and requested an interview with the clerk of the pay counter, merely stating that one of his checks appeared to have fallen into the wrong hands.\u201cCan you tell me,\u201d he asked, \u201cwho presented these chacka?\u201d The clerk was paying checks over the counter all day long, and it sesmed rather à wild question to ask.But there was one thing in favor of Lis remembering.The only person who was ever sent to the bank with Mr, Murridge's private checks was bis son, \u201cI cannot remember each one, But I re member somethin: about them, because your son usually comes with these twelve pound checks.\u201d \u201cWell\u2014what do you remember?\u2019 \u201cTwo or three of these checks\u2014I think three\u2014were pres:ntel by an elderly man with white hair, a white mustache and a foreign accent, which 1 noticed.Oh, and he had lost the forefinger of his right hand.He took the money each time in gold, and was a long while counting it.\u201d \u201cAn elderly man, with white mustacha, and one finger gone.You ought to be able to recognize him?\u2019 \u201cI think I should know him, Another of the checks was presented by a young lady.I should certainly know her,\u201d said the clerk, with moro assuranca.\u201cShe was well dressed, and very pretty.Oh, I am sure I should know hor.\u201d Ob! Is there anything else you can tell me!\u201d \u201cWhy, there was another check presented half an hour ago.\u201d \u201cThat makes the fifth,\u201d said Mr.Mur ridge.\u201cWho presente! that?\u201cA young man\u2014I think I should know him\u2014with light bair and a light mustache, He wora a pot bat and a red necktie, and bad a flower in his Luttonbols, He walked into the bank as if ths placa belonged to him.First he said he would take it anyhow, and then be suid he would take it in gold.\u201d \u201cAnd the o her tv.o-these two?\u2019 \u201cThey were pres»itol by your son, as usual.Your checks being always for the same amount, awl always beinz presented by your son, madi ma notice a difference.\u201d \u201cThank you.Observe that I have made a little alteration.This will, in future, be my signature; you ses the difference?Now, if acheck ia presente | without the variation, you will please detain the man who presents it, and give him in custody and send for me.That's all.\u201d He wont back to leis office, Something was learned.A man with a foreign accent and one forefinger gone had presented three of the checks A girl, good looking and well dressed, presented another, and a young gentleman in a pot hat and a red tie presented another, Not n great deal to help a detective, but something.His son had uot yet returned from his din- per, and the office boy was still alone.\u201cWhere 13 the call:rs\u2019 book?\" he asked.Tha boy produced the book.Mr.Mur ridge ran his finzer slowly down tha list, looking for sone ono to suspact.There was no ove.But the last name of all struzk him.It was the name of Mr.Hyacinth Cronan, Jr.The only visitors that morning had been those members of the Cronan family.He suddenly rememberel that Hyacinth, Jr., had a way of walking about as if everything belonged to him, and that he wore a po\u2019 hat, and generally had a flower in his button hole.Why, in a general way, the descriptions agreed, but then it was impossible, \u201cWhat did young Mr.Cronan come here fort\" be aske.l.\u201cI don't know, sir.Richard o'clock.\u201d Mr.Murridge gazs! thoughtfully at the boy.Young Cronan might have called at the bank on his way.\u201cGo to your dinner,\u201d he said to the boy, abruptly.The boy took his hat and disappeared in trepidation, becausa the history of Spring- heel Jack was in the drawer.Suppose his master was to open that drawer and discover it! This was exactly what Mr.Murridgo proceeded to do He opened the boy's drawer anl examinel it carefully, There was no'hing in it at all, exeept a boy's penny novel, which he turned over contemptuously, taking no he:d of the way in which the boy was spendins the office time.What did it matter to him what the boy did so long as he got through his work! Itis not until middle age tha: we learn a truth which is not one of the most important laws, yet is not without its uses\u2014namely that nobody cares how we do spend our time, every man being fully occupied with ths man!\u201d Two men there are who particularly re sent being robbed.The one is the man born to great possessions.He is always obliged to trust people, and he is the natural prey of the crafty, and he feels personally in- tulted by a breach of trust because it seems to accuse him of being credulous, soft, ignorant of the world, and easily taken in.The other is the man who spends his life in amassing small gains, and knows the value of money, what it ropresents, how much labor, self-restraint, and the foregoing of this world\u2019s pleasures for the sake of getting it, and very often how many tricks, and what crookedness in his pilgrimage.Mr.Murridge was the second of these men.His ton watched him curiously and furtively, as he continued wrathfully threatening vengeance and relentless pursuit, \u201cWell, sir,\u201d Dick asked, when the storm subsided, *\u2018as yet you have not told me any particulars \u201d \u201cI'm coming to them.I don\u2019t know very much; but I am sure it will move enough for a beginning.Many a great robbery has been discovered with fewer facts than these.Now listen and get them into your bead.A clever detactive would very soon get a clew out of what I have learned.\u201d He proceedad to relate briefly what woe already know.\u201cHave you got them all\u201d he asked.\u201cSit down first and make a note of the dates.They may be important, Remember, an elderly man with a foreign accent and the forefinger of the right hand gone.A girl A young fellow with light hair, a pot hat, a red necktie and a swaggering air.\u201d \u201cIt is not much to remember,\u201d said Dick.\u201cBut why do you want me to remember them so particularly #\u201d \u201cBecause I want you to find the thief, Dick.\u201d The ron started and lifted his head.\u201cWhat! he cried \u201cI want you to find tho villain, Dick,\u201d Mr.Murridge repeated.\u2018Me to find him?\u2019 \u201cYou shall show me the stuff you are made of.You'll never make a genealogist worth your salt, It's poor work spending every eveninz over a piano or out in the streets and all day drawing girls\u2019 heads ona blotting pal.1 don't believe you are without brains, Dick.And here's a chance for you to show wha\u2019 you can do.\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d said Dick, thoughtfully, \u201cBesides, I don\u2019t want to make a fuas about the matter.Let us work quietly, without the police and the bank and all.I don\u2019t want to arouse suspicion anywhers.\u201d \u201cI sce,\u2019 sail Dick.You want the\u2014the man who did it not to kuow that you have found it out already.\u201d \u201cYea It shall be your work.It will be an occupation for you Get to the bottom of this cass, Take a week overit.Do nothing else Think of nothing else.Lord! I should make a beautiful detective.I've often thought that I shoull have liked the work.But theres no 1yoney in it.\u201d Dick received theso commands with profound amazement.\u201cGo to the police, if you like.But I would rather you kept it entirely in your own hands.Anyhow, I don\u2019t care how you find it out.Here, take the checks; you may want thm and the check book.That may be uze- ful.Don\u2019t let the book lie about, though it would bs of no uss to anybody, because I've taken the precaution to stop the numbers And as for ihe sixth of the stolen checks\u2014 the one which is not yet presented\u2014I'm in great hopes, my lLoy-particularly if we keep quiet and nothing is said\u2014that the fellow will have tha limpudeuce to hand it across the counter to-day or to-morrow, when that joker will be pleased to find himself asked to step into the manager's room, while the police are called in to escort him before the lord mayor.And as for my signature, I've altered it.And it will be a good long time before anybody gets the chance of getting my check book again.\u201d \u201c1\u2014I will do my best,\u201d said his soa.\u201cAt present, I confess\u2014\" \u201cMind, Dick, when you've got anything that Jooks like à clew follow it up\u2014follow it up Never mind who it is\u201d He was thinking, 1am ashamed to say, of bis private secretary.\u201cFollow up any clew which offers, wherever it may lead you.1f you find rea- s0n to suspect\u2014even slight reason to suspect anytody\u2014anybody.I say\u2014find out where that person has lately speut his time and what money he paid away, and to what people and how he has paid it.Find out his assoc:ates.Then find out them.If necessary, make yourself chummy with them; make them believe that you want to cultivate their acquaintance; go to their places of amu-e- ment, And mind, not a word to any living creature.\u201d \u201cNot a word.\u201d his son repeated, shortly.He he'd in his hand the check ant the check Look, and he had a stra ige look of astonishment and hesitation.\u201cWhy,\u201d Mr.Murridge continued, \u201cwhat a r, miserable, sneaking thief he must bet e had six checks, and he could forgs my name so well that even I myself cannot tell the differences Among those seven checks 1 only know mv own checks by the numbers in the beok.Yet he fil'a them up for no more than twelve pounds each.He will ba arrested, committed, tried and sent to pena} servitud: for sixty pousds Why, he migh: have made it a couple of hundred.But he d.4 not know my balance, I suppo:e.Well, find him for me, Dick.Don\u2019.1% ms have the trou'le of huntine hitn down \u201d \u201c1 will de my test, 20e\" said Dich \u201c1 wil do my led, sir.\u201d s il Dock; bus bs lookel as if Le tinugh: doubtfully at the fob \u201cNow.there's romethin else, only this forgery in\u2018erlerel.t is this Clonsilla succession.It was I, you kuo., who gave ths doctor his title,\u201d \u201cYout \u201cNo o'her.He knew, of course, that he was a disteat cousin, but hs never dreamed of the titly faling to bin; uni thres years ugo, Dick\u2014three yous ngo when | talked the thing over with bin unl showed Lim that two lives stood Lei vn wun and the title, bo soli Lis revers:.: vy rights to me \u2014for a song Aud now ths reversion ls mine.\u201d \u201cà thought there was no mo.«y in it\u201d \u201clhere's a small Irish estate, which ut present is nor.h nothing, because the tenants won't pay.Weshall se about that But there's asnug iit:le English property, Dick, ab ut which t e docior knows nothing.It i-n'c à great thing, but there is a house upon it, witha few acres of land, and it stands in a good position.1 think it is let for three hundred a year, and perhaps we shall be able to ruu up the valus a bit Three hundred pounds a year, my boy, with a rood tenant, and I Lought it for two hundred ponds down.I'm a landed proprietur, Dick, and you are my heir.Youshali bea landed proprietor, too, by gad, when your turn comes!\u2019 He rubbed his hands cheerfully.His son's face, which ought to have responded with some kind of smile, only darkened more an.l more.Tua% was.perhaps, his way 0° expressing joy.The thought of that snug little English estate made Mr Murridge so cheerful that be for:ot his wrath concerning ths forge ry.\u201cIt wil ba a cheering thing,\u201d he said, recurring to the subject, \u201cwhen the case is completed, for you to think of the man you have cou lucie to the lord mayor and after wards to the central criminal! court.For sixty pounds\u2014the paltry sum of sixty pocuds\u2014he will have purchased the exciu- sive use of a whitewashed apartment, rent free, for sevea or perhaps ten years.There will be other advantages\u2014the privilege of a whole year spent alone, with an hour's exercise every day; then a good many years of healthy employment, without any beer or wide or tobacco, and no amusements and no idle talk.And when at last he comes out it will be to a world which will turn its back upon him for th» rest of his natural lita The hand of Justice is heavy in this country on ths man who invades the rights of property; but ths hand of Society is ten times as bard\u2014ten times as hard So it ought to be\u2014so it ought to be.For if property is not held sacred who would try to make money?\" Dick went back to his own desk, bearing with him the checks and the check book.He sat down and began to think.He had a week in which he would be left quite undisturbed to find out the forger.À good deal may Le done ina week, If he failed, his father would take up the case for himseif\u2014 his father, whose scent was as keen as a bloodhound's, and whoss pursuit would be as unrelenting.He had a week! For the moment he could not think what was to be done; he had no clew, perhaps; or, perhaps, he was not ratisfied as to the best way of following up a clew.Perhaps the problem presented itself to him as it would to an outsider.Given a robbery and a forgery.The robbery must have been committed when Mr.Murridge was out\u2014that was certain; the forgery must have been committed by some one well acquainted with the custom of drawing twelve pound checks, as well as able to imitate a signature, Th: only persons who had access to the inner office in Mr, Murridge's absence was himself, Norah Cronan, the office boy nnd the housekeeper; but the latter only when the offices wera clo-ed and on Sundays.Sus- p.cion might fail upon any of these four, but especially upon bimsel! and upon Norah.He put this quite clearly to himself.As fo: the office toy, no one vould suspect him: he was too great a fool even to think of sucha crime; and the housekeeper, too, wis out of the question There remained, as the most likely persons to Le suspected, himself and Norah, Having got ¢o far he remainel here, un- abla to got any further; in fact, ho came back to it again and again.\u201cMyself and Norah,\u201d he thought.\u201cIt: must lie between us two\u2014it must lie between ui!\u2019 The office boy watched him curiously.From his position at the other side of the fireplace lie looked, so to speak, over Dicks shoulder, and could watch him unseen and un-uspecte l.There were certain special rea- sons\u2014in fuct, they were concealed in the pocket of bis jacke'\u2014why the office Loy thought tbat something was going to bap- pen.Thero were oth.r reasons, such as a great incre:se in Mr.Richard's sulkiness, a jumpy manner which hal lately come over him and his rudeness to Miss Cronan, which made this intelligent boy believe that something was going to ba-pen very soon.Then Mr.Murridge had Leen shut up with his son for three-quarters of an hour.That meant things unusual And now Mr.Richard, instead of drawing girls\u2019 hea ts, was sitting in moody thought.You koow how strangely, wuen the mind is greatly exercised and strained, ona remembers some little trifle, or forgets some little habitual thing, +uch as brushing the hair or putting on a collar.Dick's eyes fell upon his pocketbook, which lay upon his desk.It was a diary-one of the diaries which give a certain small space for every day in the year and a pocket for letters.it belong, lika his purs: and his bunch of keys, essentially to hi: pocket.Yet ha could not remember whe he had 1ast carrie | it in bis pocket.Consider, if yon are eccus- tcmed to a bunch of kevs in your pocket, you do not feel th ir presence.but yet you ns: them when they are no longer there, Dick became suddenly consciens that for sone time\u2014perbaps an hour, perhaps a Whads ay.p rians mo e\u2014he Lai 29 feit the presenc» oŸ tho pocketbook Bul \u201cWh mind bad bee.s» much occupied by certain pressing anx «tis which beret him about this time, that Le had po ic d the abs nce of the book ha'f consciously.Now that he saw if lying on his tale ho suatche | it up, and began turning over the pages, at first confl- dently and then burried y, as oue looks for something lost.There was something lost.He shook out the leaves: h> lo>ked through them again; le scarched the em::ty pocket, Then be searched his own pockets.The boy tehind him watched with a broad grin of satisfaction, as if he understool the cause of this distress.Then Dick sprang from his chair and looked under the table, on the floor, in the blotting pad, in the letter rack and in the drawers.Tien he tegin all over again No Greck mime ever expre-sed mare vividly the anxiety, dismay and terror of one who has lost a thing of vital importance.'The loy fe) as if be should like to roll on the floor and scream.\u201cHave you y icked up anything, you boy?\u2019 Dick turnel upon him flercely, so that he was fain to repress the smile upon his lips and the lighto! joy in Liseve.\u2018Come here, you 1 ttie devil!
