As he stood match in one hand and cigar in the other be was still further startled to see the peculiar wink of a bnllseye lamp ps the slide was shot. Dropping the cigar and match into his pocket together he lni!t down, and securing a smooth round cobble tiptoed across the street, secreting himself behind a tobacconist's sidewalk sign out ou the curb nearly opposite the office. lie could see the police officer pacing along up the street a block or more away where the lamps were lighted as usual and would have called to him but for fear of giving a needless alarm. lot m m sw a I n . . "jf , , , llv into the office, he was soon rewarded ! tyaso!h'.'r flash of light as the slide of I the builseye was slowly bpened. and ' then beheld a hand on the combination ' kiiob of the safe door. One glance was euongh. One hand in all the world was as sum and peculiar between joints as Arthur Elite's, and if that was not pecu liarity enough a seal ring of peculiar pattern Clinched the proof. At this ln ; atant Jack heard the bolts shot, the door was swung open, and out of the . safe came a cash book and journal. That was enough, and drawing back his powerful ami the watcher prepared to deliver a . 'curve" toward that safe door that ; would have cracked it, but for a soft voice within fifteen feet of hiin and ap parently in the open office door. "There s no one coming. Use your l.rniD.

The foreman set his tPeti, together and was abont to change was sum to, auu irom over me transom ne keard low voices and the shooting of the safe door bolts. Then he heard the precious pair como lonu anu gouown the street. As they passed under the first Etreet lamp he saw that Arthur car ried a bundle which be had no doubt contained the records they had stolen for what purpose he did not clearly un derstand. Following as closely as he Oared, be saw them halt before the house they and their maiden sister ocenpied. A largo piano lamp threw its light out the full length window, and by its aid he raw them place the package beneath the steps loading up to the side door. Then they entered, and Jack drew near. He was thinking faster than he had ever thought before, and while he wanted to secure the books was fearful leet they might become a white elephant on his own hands before he could place them in the hands of their owner. Through tha window he conld eee Miss Bute fnt tiugbefore the fireplace in which a hick ory fire was blazing. "I want a witness I-when I take those books," he thonght. and his mind reverted to Simmons, with whom be had made his appointment. Eo was hesitating as to what he should do when he saw Arthur, who sat bo hind the sister, crook his thumb toward the fireplace and grin triumphantly. "They'll burn those books as soon as she goes to bed," he thought, and they don't darn bring them in till she retires. "I guess I've timQto call Simmons," and he started on a run down the middle of the street toward Simmons' residence, He arrived breathless, and found the old gentleman expecting him. His story told, Simmons nodded gravely and said: "Boy, this is about what I've been ex pecting. I haven't time to explain now, tint will later. Wait till I secure some less valuable fuel," and snatching a scrapbook and an atlas from the center table he started toward the door. "Come on. We've no time to lose. We must get those books. They may save a fortune that is, if twelve thousand dollars is one, and it is to me. Jack caught the old man's idea, and snatching the books from him ran up street at s pace the bookkeeper could hardly equal. As the old man arrived he found Jack on his knees beside the steps hastily unwrapping the precious volumes, and haste was necessary, for Miss Blite had gone to her room, leavin; the brothers alone. The bookkeeper saw Mr. Arthur arise and throw some more light wood on the lire, and whispering to Jack to make haste retreated across the streets. Jack joined him just as the business manager came out the door, and they saw him soon reappear in the room, Rearing the bundle in his arms. "Now if they undo that package our cake may be all dough," whispered the pld man, who shivered with excitement. "'They won't do it, though. See? In she goes. My, but won't Molly kick, thought That scrapbook was her pride, and shell miss it within twenty-four "Hang the sorapbookl" whispered Jack, exultantly. "Or rather burn it," rejoined the old man. "See those two fools star-d there and tvatch it burn. I suppose they think they are safe now." As Jack and Simmons prepared to do part they conld seo the brothers lighting up their cigars and sitting down before the fire for a smoke, linpy in their sup posed triumph. CHAPTER V. Arrived at Simmons' homo a compari son of notes followed, and r.t Jack's re cital of the afternoon's interview arid Margaret's spirited denial of the broth ers' claim the old gentleman kept ex claiming, "I knew it! I thought as much!" and seemed also to have a story to telL Aa he proceeded Jack under stood the motive of the theft from the safe. "Yon see," began Simmons, "while I have worked for Mr. Medbary many years, even before yon came, I have only run the books about let me think." "Eighteen months,"" suggested Jack. "Yes: that's just about the time, I guess. You were then at the case, I think. I wnsn't euro whether I took them while you were devil or not. At any rate, if Mr. Arthur hadn't been so ambitious to be a business manager and disliked bookkeeping ho much, he would probably have succeeded Mr. Perkins, and I would have been still out on the road collecting and cauv:issiag. "I used to envy Mr. Arthur at first, fot I conld see or thought I conld that he was bound to secure Perkins' place sooner or later, leaving me just where I was. Ho aimed higher than I thought. however, and his ambition was just what " , w . r J. . C i-iu lilt piVt. jJlkUil IIUIU IUC lecal stiff but a year or two before, he displayed more of an aptitude for secur ing advertising and for general manage ment thnn he did for the position of helper to Perkins, and as a result I was worked in. Perkins liked it best that wav, too, and declared to Mr. Medbury , ., praised Mr. Blito's capabilities as an ad vertising manager. It therefore hap pened that I was bookkeeper through Perkins" hist sickness, being called in off the ror.d, and my son w as si ven my place. Meanwhile Mr. Blite kept gaining in favor and the balances showed that a business manager paid. lie was there fore finally given almost entire control and had arrived at his present position about six months before Mr. MeJbnry's death. I relate all this that yon may know how it all came abont, fur you were in the business office very little and may have wondered why lilite was placed over all of us. The fact is I would .1...- -1 .tnn..l . V 1 1 hope some man will be found to take ,r t,v.-i - x . Mr. Blite's place at once. I don't want the responsibility. . "That's all settled, I suppose," said ; Jack, blushing, and the old man went on. 1 "Mr. Arthur was always very respect ful to me, but to the others, as yon know, was at times very overbearing and disa greeable. I was somewhat surprised, therefore, when he came to me one day last week and informed ine that, vhilshif brother would have full charge of the editorial force as heretofore, he (Mr.1 Arthur) would manage the business end.' and warned me not to have so in noli tc say to the men. I kucw that this charge was so unfotmded it must bo for a pur ' pnse. nnd R" pecting thnt he was seek ing some pretense to discharge mo kepi . perfectly c,niet. I only warned to hold my position long enough to see him go, and I guess I shall maybe to state's prison. Only day before yesterday he came in and fonnd me looking over the cashbook he stole tuoiht. I was look ing up an old acrouut claimed to have been paid, lt:t he gave me no chance tc explain, for he walked np, banged the book together, and in his overbearing ' way said I was not to 'study ancient history, bnt to go on with my work. I could see by his manner that he was sus picious of me, and a? a result I became at or.co suspicions r-f him. What he was afraid of I don't know for certain, bat I have a theory." "So have I," said Jack, "and Tve had it Eince I heard that interview tha after noon. If I'd been Miss Margaret I shouldn't have list my temper so easy, but would have seen those books before I went home." "That's the very thing," agreed Sim mons. "Those notes ore forgeries, and he knows the cashbook, which shows the receipt and expenditure of every cent, would give him away. Von see. I knew nothing about the note dodge, and while I was suspicions of theft should have been on the wrong track till too late. You say, then, he produces cotes for twelve thousand dollars?" "That corks 'cmf exclaimed Simmons. "Yes, Miss Margaret says there are three of them. They are for four thou sand dollars each, and War date of October first, eighteen hundred and eighty-fivo, January first and April first, eighteen hundred and eighty-six. The Blites called on her at the house Thurs day and told her they had some papers they wanted her to como to the office and look over, hat did not explain any thing, and as sho was busied about some other matters sho did not come down till this afternoon. They claim now that the notes were given the time the new dress and big stereotype pross were pur chased, but I recollect, now it s bronght to my mind, of .Mr, Medbury telling Major Benton near my case one after noon that he paid cash down for both, "Well, he might have done that and still borrowed the money, but I don't believe he borrowed a cent. If he bad, why should he have borrowed of the Blites? They never had tho reputation of capitalists, so far as I know. What's the use of conjecturing, however? We have the cashbook. Let's look it over." prawing the the cashbook out and proceeded to ex amine it. A volume of five hundred pages, it was a continuous record from January first, eighteen hundred and eighty-five, to December thirty-first, eighteen hundred and eighty-six. The balance brought from a former book was three thousand dollars, nnd tliiH had increased as the months rolled by alxnit fifteen hundred dollars per month till September .twelfth, eighteen hundred and eighty-five, when a balance of fifteen thousand eight hundred dollars was re duced to live thon.s-.uid three hundred dollars by tho payment of ten thousand five hundred dollars for a stereotype press and outfit. About thirty days later (October fifteenth) the balance, which bad again increased to six thou sand seven hundred and fifty dollars, wits again reduced to four thousand eight hundred dollars and forty cents by the payment of one thousand nine hundred and forty-nine dollars and sixty cents for a new news dress and a large quantity of job type. The journal agreed with the cashbook. "That corks 'emf exclaimed Simmons triumphantly. "There's a record of every cent the office received and of all it (Hiid out. I tell you a man's cash book, if it's kept right, is a key to his business, no matter whether he lives or dies. I don't wunder the Blites wanted to destroy this one. It's lucky we saved it from the fire." "But," interposed Jack. "Mips Mar garet says these notes are in her father's own handwriting body, signatures and all. They are not on a regular priuted blank." "The d-d-deuce you sayP gtped Sim mons. "Why, I never knew Medbury to draw up any paper hiin.-clf. lie al ways referred such jobs as that to the bookkeeper and attached his own signa ture afterward. He was not an easy penman, but did all his writing with a big soft lead pencil." "Yes, his copy used to look like lamp black put on with a brush." "Well, do you know I never saw him sit down and write with a pen but ov?e, and that was let me think. Why it was in the office the day he gave me my fountain pen. Say, do you know what kind of paper those notes are our" "Yes. That's the thing that struck MUs Margaret as 'funny,' as she ex pressed it. Those notes are written on a ruled, cheap yellow paper, such as they used to send np 'ads.' on. as near a-: I can understand from her description." "Jack," cried Simmons excitedly. 'Tve got the key to the whole bu&inees. I saw those notes written, and it wasmj fountain pen that did it. Those note; were written in blank, so far as the fig ures were concerned, by Mr. Medburj himself, and on my dft-k. It was while Perkins was alive. I lent Medburv my fountain pen oue day, so that he conld purchase one like it for Miss Margaret or her mother, I don't know which. I went out on the road, and when I cunt back he'd lost it. lie was somewhat plagued abont it, and went out and bought me another. He came over to toy desk, and throwing it down ou the fad said. 'Here's a better pen than you had. Simmons,' and he dashed off those three notes on that pad. "I remember how he tore off the sheet and laid it aside while I tried the pn on the pad. I remember ho used Mr. Charles' name, but urcd uo figures. The dollar sign was m.-tde, bnt ouly a dash where the face cf the note should have ' been, and I've found out since thai there was a peculiarity alxut the ink in that pen. This peculiarity will give thoe ' rascally BHtes away, even if the cash- j book diil not. I tell ye. the hand of Gud Is in it, acj those men will never be al- J lowed to rob Medbury "s estate. In the fUrhnm flint nV (.1 ra lilti.Ii l.lat- l. - in the nighttime, under auy ordinary light, it's green as grass." "Simmons, old man. well make the teeth of those two rascals chatter yet," and Jack fairly danced for joy. It was late that night before our worthy friends filially slept the sl-.-cp of the just, and the next day at church the minister's homily seemed unusually dulL CHAPTER VL "HI give ymi Jiurt fn seconds tn get out side Uitt door." ; "Good morning, Mr. Hazeley," was Mr. Charles Blite's polite greeting on the following Monday as at eight o'clock be found Jack seated in the business manager's chair in the business office looking over the morning's mail, which Simmons was busily opening up for his inspection. "What does this menn?" Mr. Charles demanded as he took in the situation, and he strode over to the desk, his suavity gone, his frown fearful to be hold. Jack coolly glanced over an advertis ing contract und remarked: "Keep your coat on, Mr. B. Don't get excited. Here comes your brother, and I want him to hear what I have to say." As Mr. Arthur came in Jack arose from his chair, buttoned his coat tightly around him, and raising his voice a trifle an nounced, "It means, gentlemen, that by the authority vested in me by Miss Mar garet Medbury I am in possession of this office in tho capacity of business manager, and that you two gentlemen are not wanted here in any capacity whatever." Brother Charles' heavy face became actually gray with passion, and as he shook his clinched fist toward Jack he snarled like, a wounded wolf in impotent fury. Finally getting his voice he be gan: "It does, eh? We 11 see. I in named as exocutor of the will cf Mr. Medhnry. That will comes up for prubute today, and well see who has charge of this office and property. Besides all this, iny brother and I have certain claims that may make the property or a portion of it ours." i . "Until yon get before the surrogate and substantiate your claims, however," said Jack, "I am in possession here. Ill give you just ten seconds to get outsino that door and stay out. If you don't go peaceably 111 throw yon both clear over that curb." As he advanced the broth ers retreated, and waiting not on the order of their going went. ; "You forgot to tell me how they se cured possession of those notes, Sim mons," he remarked as he settled down to work again. 1 "So I did, and to tell the truth I don't know. The lar.t I saw of them they were in Mr. Medbury's band as be Wlepped on the elevator to go up to his office. . I presnme ho laid them careless ly down with his exchanges, where they iwere fonnd later by Mr. Charles. May be be didn't find them till he moved in jsfter Mr. Medbury's death." "Very likely. Let's see. We appear before the surrogate today at nine, do !we? I believe Til send a carriage for 'Miss Margaret." to be coxtixved. Frosen Almost Solid on a Car Platform. When the Chicago and Alton "hum mer" drew up at Joliet Thursday after noon the passengers waiting to take the train saw a man drop off tho bumpers on the front end of the baggage car. Help was given him. when it was fonnd that he was dying. His ears, face and feet were frozen stiff. Ho was taken to the hospital, where the doctors and nurses tried unsuccessfully to restoro him. The doctors say he was frozen almost solid. His name was John Bnssey and ho was Ihirty-nine years old. He got on the train at Pontine to go to Dwight. getting on the front end of the baggage car, but the "hummer" does not stop until Joliet, fifty-five miles away, is reached. There Is no door in the front end of the bag gage ca and he had to stay outside. He met a terrible fate, the worst blizzard of the season catching him in full force. Cor. Chicago News-Record.

The colonel has an old flute that has seen service for many yr.srs, but is still mellow in tone and its t vtes are always true. The colo nel's 4 playing is. however, a secret. He ncx plays in public, but in the se clusion ot his room, with the door locked and the windows closed, the colonel often performs in tones that are cap tivating to the one who is so fortunate to hear him. The colonel can play "Ta-ra-ra Boom-dc-ay and "Chippie, Get Your Hair Cut" in the most approved style, besides all the old southern melo dies. Atlanta Constitution. Hceeut Mortality Anong Dwkea. The mortality among dcies. compar ing their limited numbers to the im mense concourse of untitled folk, has been exceptional during the last two ! years. The Duke of Marlborough makes the ninth who has died in that period, j It must be remembered that, excluding j royal titles, there are only twenty -seven dukes in the United Kingdom altogether. Therefore in two years or a little more one-third of the holders of dukedoms have died, while two of the titles Buckingham and Cleveland have be come extinct. London Tit-Bits.
