"Is thut my business here must be cdl’.t 'Jercd sacredly confidential There must be no possibility of its leaking ont. You understand •- “Quite so. Sir Johu; u nite so." replied the inauiiger "1 have beeu conducting this agency for over twenty years, and never yet has a patron of mine charged me with having given bis secrets away. We are as inviolate us the grave, tiros the grave itself." “1 have met with some losses of late In buying foreign bonds,’* observed Sir John as be drummed on the desk with bls fingers. “I see. sir." “And nt the present moment I am a little pn—rd for cash." “Ttiat is liable to happen to all of us. sir." "I shouldn’t be if I didn't w: nt to buy Lord Benson - steam yacht. He of sered it to me at a low price last w- -k. and 1 as gowl a» closeii the sale with him. I don’t know that it s a good investment. but 1 rather passed my word, you know." "Exactly. Sir John." smih-d the manager, who knew that bis patron was lying like a trooper ull the time.

If I bad a part of them I could raise the £5.(100 nee lwl ami replace the bonds again in a few weeks. The house is closed just now. but It would not require a great effort to get In, and I have the combination of the safe. I was thinking, you know—l was thinking''— Then they dropped their voices ,o wliisi>en«. and when interrupted fifteen minutes later they seemed to have arrived nt an understanding. Two nights Inter the country house was robbed The singular part of it was that only Sir John’s lady was deipoiled. AH her diamonds had been taken, but no else bad been robbed of even a stickpin. There was an outcry, but fortunately they had a keen detective on the spot, and he didn't watt for his breakfast before beginning to pick up trails. Before noon he decided that the most likely one led toward London, and he- followed It. A day or two Inter he returned and secretly handed Sir John’s lady a pack age of Peruvian bonds. She was not taking on about her losses half as much as her friends thought she should, but the detective assured every one that his clew was most promising. He returned to the city to follow it up. am! three days later the lady reeeiv.d a telegram urging her to come home at once for a few hours. Three hours later she was climbing the steps of the mansion in Grosvenor square. Sir John had opened the house and was waiting for her. “Madnn you nre here,” be said, with a wave of his hand. "Yes, I aui here." "Ami will you kindly explain, madam. when ami where you bad tlia stones removed from your jewelry and paste substituted':’’ "What do you mean, sir - :" ; 1 jn't attempt any denUL H«« are your jewels—your pretended jewels—of which you were roblted at Thorpe’s, 'hey have been in my iiossession for a day and a half. They are paste, madam, nothing but paste." Sir John did not think to tell her that the boxes had been carried to three different pawnbrokers to secure a loan, and it was through them that lie had learner! the pasty fact, and she was so In.-y op.iiiig a package die bad brought aiong that she didn't ask him. Wiieu she b id laid a dozen or so Peruvian bonds on the table she pointed to them in a dramatic way and exclaimed:

"And about those bonds, sir. You Isirgbt them at I<m; for investment. 1 leal you I’J.isiO to complete the deal. Ito you know wbat they are worth in the market today?" "About UKt, I believe." Le replied. "Forty cents, sir, and still going down I” ■ IL:t where did you get them? I have bewi roblssl!" "So have I!" "Madam, yen must have wanted to raise a loan. Tell me what it was for.” "You were in the same fix. Wbat did you want thousands of itounds for’:” Here is your paste Jewelry 1” "And bore are your forty cent Ixmds!" And a day or two Inter each received a bill by mail. The one read, "For * ealitig your wife’s diamonds.” and the otuer read. "For stealing your husband's bonds.” And tbe indebtedness was 1 l(M) in each case. llmi>U«tty and <’l»Mvhy Me -a::le at tile childlike simplicity of the kind hearted man whose charity “b< ieveth all things, bopetb all things,” even i f tLo*e whom tbe man of the world disirti-t* "But.” as Dr. Hulmes iy*. “tbe angel* laugh, too, at the good he ha* done.” Dr. Dobbin, an old fashioned clergyman of Dublin, was noted for bis kindle--* to the p<x,r aud for the simplicity with which he trusted them, as if they cculd be guilty of no d<y»»ption. Once a man was begging at the clergyman's carriage window. Having no change about him. he banded the beggar a gtiiuva. saying. "<Jo, my poor man, get me change for that, and 1 will give you a shilling. ’ He never saw tbe is-ggar’s face again.
