MARGARET MELBURY'S MANAGERS.

(Continued.) I saw those notes written, and it was my fountain pen that did it. Those notes were written m blank, so far as the fig ures were concerned, by Mr. Medbury himself, and on my desk. It was while Perkins was alive. I lent Medbury my fountain pen one day, so that he could purchase one like it for Miss Margaret or her mother, I don't know which. I went out on the road, and when I came back he'd lost it. He was somewhat plagued about it, and went out and bought me another. He came over to my desk, and throwing it down on the pad 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 pen on the pad. I remember he used Mr. Charles' name, but used no figures. The dollar sign was made, but only a dash where the face of the note should have been, and I've found out since that there was a peculiarity about the ink m that pen. This peculiarity will give those rascally Blites away, even if the cash book did not. I tell ye, the hand of God is m it, and those men will never be al lowed to rob Medbury's estate. In the daytime that ink is a bluish black, but m the nighttime, under any ordinary light, it's green as grass." "Simmons, old man, we'll make the teeth of those two rascals chatter yet," and Jack fairly danced for joy. It was late that night before our worthy friends finally slept the sleep of the just, and the next day at church the minister's I homily seemed unusually dull,

CHAPTER VI.

"I'll give you just ten seconds to get out side that door." "Good morning, Mr. Hazeley," was Mr. Charles Elite's polite greeting on the following Monday as at eight o'clock he found Jack seated m the business manager's chair m the business office looking over the morning's mail, which Simmons was busily opening up for his inspection. "What does this mean?" Mr. Charles demanded as he took m 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 and 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 m 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 m me by Miss Mar garet Medbury I am m possession of this office m the capacity of business manager, and that you two gentlemen are not wanted here m 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 m impotent fury. Finally getting his voice he be gan: "It does, eh? We'll see. I'm named as executor of the will cf Mr. Medbury. That will comes up for probate today, and we'll see who has charge of this office and property. Besides all this, my brother and I have certain claims that may make the property or a portion of it ours." "Until you get before the surrogate and substantiate your claims, however," said Jack, "I am m possession here. I'll give you just ten seconds to get outside that door and stay out. If you don't go peaceably I'll throw you 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. "So I did, and to tell the truth I don't know. The last I saw of them they were m Mr. Medbury's hand as he stepped on the elevator to go up to his office. I presume he laid them careless ly down with his exchanges, where they were found later by Mr. Charles. May be he didn't find them till he moved m after Mr. Medbury's death." "Very likely. Let's see. We appear before the surrogate today at nine, do we? I believe I'll send a carriage for Miss Margaret.'^

CHAPTER VII.

"Hold one of these notes up where the light wiu not fall directly on it." "The provisions of this will command me to issue letters testamentary to Mr. Charles Blite, who is here present, I
