There was a great deal of what la called leakage In the store that Is. a certain proportion of all the gooda brought into It waa taken out, not by legitimate process. One of the Junior partners, Mr. Wat klns, waa given carte blaucbe to atop the leak. One eventmj in a pile of paper that had been used for wrapping and that had been tucked under a coun ter to be carried out were found souie Taluable lace. They were of light bulk aud readily concealed. The coun ter was attended by Helen Bayre, a girl of nineteen. The morulng after the discovery she waa aeut for by Mr. Watklus and accused of having placed the lacea where they were found with a view either to hide them to avoid detection or to take them away later. The girl could not eiplaln how tho tacee she sold lacee came to be where they were Instead of In the boxes where they belonged. She WM bewil dered and tongue tied. Watklns turn ed her over to the police aud prosecut ed her for theft Sluee no oue had seeu her take the gooda he did not expect to convict her; he simply de sired to make an example of her by disgracing her. 8he was acquitted, but every clerk in the store knew that her arrest was a bitter punishment and a warning to them. The morulug after ber acquittal a young man called at Mr. Watklns' pri vate office. "What can I do for you, sir?" asked Watklns. "You can give me 10,000." "What forr asked the dry goods man in amaieinent. "A wedding present for Helen Sayre, whom you have publicly disgraced. lou may call It a wedding present or an atonement or anything you like, but the money must be forthcoming. The real thief, being conscience stricken, has confessed by letter that she stole the goods In question and, seeing a floorwalker approaching, mixed them up with some castoff wrapping, paper and threw them under Helen Say re's counter." 'If Miss Sayre has such a letter as that she will be restored to her posi tion and the thief will be prosecuted." 'You will not be permitted to see the letter. Helen Sayre does not intend to return to her position. She will be married to me this evening. I will be pleased to take her the wedding pres ent I have mentioned." "Nonsense, maul If you have come here to bluff me you may take yourself away or I will call a policeman to eject you." "I came here to make a demand," said the young man, rising, "and I venture the prediction that In lees than one year you will comply with It." With this the speaker withdrew. Six months passed, and Mr. Watklns had forgotten the Incident when bis daughter, eighteen years old, was walking through the aisles of Hodkins & Co.'s store, when she was accosted by a woman, who said she would Uke to speak to her In private. Miss Wat kins, surprised, followed the woman to a secluded place, where the latter re lieved her of her reticule, opened It and removed several boxes containing articles of Jewelry. To the astonished girl she said: "You were In Nevins' Jewelry store this afternoon, were you not?" "I was." "You stole these articles. I hap iieued to see you take them. I know who vou ure. You are the daughter of a member of this linn. lie would not like the matter made public, if you will .;' home you arc welcome to do si. Tell your lutiier that lie will reive! ve 0 visit this evening from one until irized to arrange to keep this matter quiet," The woman left the girl, taking the retletilc ami Its contents, and Mies Watkins hurried to her father's ottlee and, bursting into tears, told tilra what had occurred. "Oh, papa," she cried, "don't con ilemn me! Indeed, I am innocent" Mr. Wutkms called a conveyance ami took his (laughter home. That evening a man called on Sir Watklns. He said that lie was from N'evins' Jewelry store. A Woman hud reported that she had seen Miss Wat kins take certain articles of Jewelry from Nevins' counter ami slip them Into her reti-ule. If the jewels were returned the matter would be bush ed up. lint both the reticule and Its con tents had p'lsaed from Miss Watklns' possession. "What are the Jewels worth?" asked Mr. Wnt kins. The man bunded him a memoran dum of the articles, with prices foot ing $10,0O. Watkins saw that cither he must pay for the lost Jewels or his daugh ter would bo published and prosecuted as a thief. He would have hired de tectives to ferret out what he knew to be a conspiracy, but the representa tive of N'evlns' told him that the mat ter was without their control and un b-rn the property was paid for those who had accused his daughter of the theft won 1 publish It at once, and they had pbiily of cvld nee to send his dim; -.liter to the penitentiary.
