last week and Informed me that, while hf s brother would have full charge of the I editorial force as heretofore, he (Mr. | Arthur) would manage the business end, and warned me not to have so much to say to the men. I knew that this charge was so unfounded it must be for a pur pose, and suspecting that he was seek ing some pretense to discharge me kept perfectly quiet. I only wanted 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 found me looking over the cashbook he stole tonight. I was look ing up an old account claimed to have been paid, but he gave me no chance to explain, for he walked up, banged the book together, and in his overbearing •way said I was not to 'study ancient history, but to go on with my work.' I could see by his manner that he was sus picious of me, and as a result I became at once suspicious of him. What he was afraid of I don't know for certain, but I have a theory." "So have I," said Jack, "and I've had it since I heard that interview this after noon. If I'd been Miss Margaret I shouldn't have lost my temper so easy, but would have seen those books before I went home." "That's the very thing," agreed Sim mons. "Those notes are forgeries, and he knows the cashbook, which shows the receipt and expenditure of every cent, would give him away. You see, I knew nothing about the note dodge, and while I was suspicious of theft should have been on the wrong track till too late. You say, then, he produces notes for

"That corks 'cm!" exclaimed Simmons. "Yes, Miss Margaret says there are three of them. They are for four thou sand dollars each, and bear date of October first, eighteen hundred and eighty-five, 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 come to the office and look over, but did not explain any thing, and as she was busied about some other matters she did not come down till this afternoon. They claim now that the notes were given the time the new dress and big stereotype press were pur chased, but I recollect, now it's brought 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 had, I why should he have borrowed of the ! Blites? They never had the reputation ' j of capitalists, so far as I know. What's 1 the use of conjecturing, however? We ; have the cashbook. Let's look it over." i Drawing the curtains they brought ' the cashbook out and proceeded to ex ! amine it. A volume of five hundred j pages, it was a continuous record from I Jamiary first, eighteen hundred and j eighty-five, to December thirty-first, .j eighteen hundred and eighty-six. The • balance brought from a former book j was three thousand dollars, and this had increased as the months rolled by about fifteen hundred dollars per month till j September twelfth, eighteen hundred j and eighty-five, when a balance of fifteen } thousand eight hundred dollars was re ! duced to five thousand three hundred dollars by the payment of ten thousand five hundred dollars for a stereotype press and outfit. About thirty days ! later (October fifteenth) the balance, which had again increased to six thou sand seven hundred and fifty dollars, was 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 'eml" exclaimed Simmons triumphantly. "There's a record of 1 every cent the office received and of all |it paid 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 wonder the Blites wanted to destroy this one. It's lucky we saved it from the fire." I "But," interposed Jack, "Miss Mar garet says these notes are in her father's > own handwriting — body, signatures and all. They are not on a regular printed blank." "The d-d-deuce you say!" gasped Sim mons. "Why, I never knew Medbury to draw up any paper himself. He 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 Bit down and write with a pen but once, and that was — let mo 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 on?" "Yes. That's the thing that struck Miss Margaret as 'funny,' as she ex pressed it. Those notes are written on a ruled, cheap yellow paper, such as I they used to send up 'ads.' on, as near as I can understand from her description." "Jack," cried Simmons excitedly, "I've got the key to the whole business. To be continued.) T. H. UNDRILL J [E. UNDRILL J , /> p -?v .;* . '"!•':* EVERY REQUISITE ON HAND.

SHI T RMPIIEHI CUHED ! #% ILa I ■& MB Eh W Iwl W 2% Kb V 9 BJood Purified,, Mrs. Mary Thomson, of Carlton (Melbourne), Tells the Story of Her Daughter's Sufferings, and of the Great Blessing Ayer's Sarsaparilla Was to Her. "For three years my daughter Edith suffered terribly with Salt-Bheum, j Which affected chiefly her hands, and for nearly six months at a time she j was constantly compelled to wear gloves. Her hands were covered with blisters, full of a watery substance ; the skin would often peel off, and the itching and burning were intense. I paid doctors' bills without number and bought medicines of all kind ; but all failed to give relief until I tried AYER'S SAESAPAEILLA. After using this medicine a short time an improvement was manifest, and my daughter took in all ten bottles,— continuing it even after all signs of her affliction had disappeared. The Sarsaparilla purified her blood, radically curing the disease, and we are most thankful for this great blessing." Be sure that you get the genuine The wonderful success of this great blood purifier has led to numerous imitations. The name— Ayer's Sarsaparilla— is prominent on the wrapper and is blown in the glass of each bottle. Befuse all substitutes. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., XT. S. A.
