Archie Norton was a happy man
that evening, lie was paying bis last
visit to Mm inn Gilbert, who was to
become Marian Norton to-morrow.
V- tin- two sol together in the twi
light, murmuring dc'.icibuswords of
joy and hope, they were interrupted
by the entrance of a servant with the
announcement that two gentlemen
wished to see Mr. Norton immediately.
'Tell them they must, wait till an
other lime,' - said Archie; 'that I am
particularly engaged at present.'
'int I was to say, sir, if you please
that the business is very pressing, .mil
(liey must s<e you.'
i With itti impatient gesture Archie
' followed the servant into the passage,
where be found himself confronted by
two roiili looking men.
*y r. Norton, I suppose?' one of
thefii accosted him.
Archie bowed assent,adding with a
I 'euch of hmighti/ess. a request to be
informed of tlie object til their visit.
I 'It's along n' that missing money,'
p plied the man, curtly.
It is necessary to explain thait a
picket of bank notes, lirough' by a
depositor n few diiys before to the
hitlik in which A richie Norton was a
clerk, had disappeared mysteriously
(Vom the receiving teller's desk, tind
though tb.e most tborough search had
hrcn made, no trace was found of the
bist money.
Suspicion pointed naturally In some
of the employees, hut fastened upon
no particular one. All 'bat could be
done under the circumstances was to
procure a complete description of the
miles from the depositor, who, fortun
ately, bad preserved a memorandum
of their denoniuations and numbers,
j and to keep strict watch through all
available chsnncls, with a view to
discovering by whom any of them
might he put in circulation.
'The missing money !' exclaimed
Archie; 'has tiny clew been gained ol
it?'
'There has,' the man answered,'and
you're wanted right away.'
Archie had been among the most
I active in efforts to; solve the mystery,
and expressed his readiness to ac
company his visitors at once, and
render all the aid in bis power, ask
ing them to wait (ill he should step in
j and excuse his absence.
'Quite impossible,' said the spokes
man of the two, in a low dogged tone-,
I at die same time placing bis band on
Archie's arm and loading him out of
onr-shot; 'Can't stiller you out of our
sight, you sec.'
?Can't Slider me out of your sight V
'A' ; secin' as you're our prison -r.'
\ 'Your?your prisoner!' the young
man gasped, stupefied with amaze
incut.
'Yes; anil unless you want to make
ii scene,' rejoined tic other, 'the best,
thing you can do is to come along
quietly.'
'Hut what is the charge ?'disked
Archie; 'surely 1 am no! suspected'?
'Wo don't suspect, uothin',' inter
ruptcd the ollicer, 'which that aren't
our business, which is only to take
your body.'
I Seeing further parley was useless,
with what composure he could com
j maud, Archie, niter bidding the scr
vnut explain to Miss Gilbert that
urgent business called him away sud
denly, accompanied his custodians in
silence.
At the polico oflicc he learned that
ti note which he had paid out that
evening Htul been identified as one of
(lio.se stolen from the bank, which
fact Jotl to lii? present arrest.
A search was then made of the
prisoner, in whose pockctbook was
fmimi :v number of bank notes, every
one. of which Mas ployed,by itsnnm
her and other distinctive features, to
belong tt) the missing packet.
At this revelation Archie Norton
stood overwhelmed and speechless.
The stunning force with which the
blow hail fallen bereft him of all
power to make an explanation, if,
indeed, he had any to offer.
Next morning I received a sum
in oils from the prisoner, with wIidui I
I)ad been on terms of friendly inter
course, and one of whose wedding
guests I was to he. I found him in his
ce ], iii n half-dazed, bewildered slate.
'Surely,' I said, 'yon must be able
to account for your possession 6f the
notes found upon you.'
'Certain!} I am,' he answered;'I
got lhem yesterday from my uncle's
executor, Mr. Gordon, in payment of
a legacy. 1 was too much confused
last night lo mention thai.'
'Mr. Gordon is a very methodical
man of business,' I replied, 'and may
lie able to identify the notes he paid
you. In that case the ri (lair will be
easily cleared tip; for no one will sus
pect Mr. Gordon, ami it he remembers
from whom he received the notes, not
only wi 1 your innocence be establish
od, but a clew may be gained to the
discovery of the real culprit.'
'Jiy-ihe-way,' 1 added, 'in whose
company were you yesterday after re
eeiving the money from Mr. Gordon?'
'In Ilalph Cray son's,' he answered.
^Indeed !' I said, a little astonished;
for linlph Grayson, n fellow clerk of
Archie's, had been his rival aspirant
to the hand of Marion Gilbert, and
their relations had been far from
friendly. 'Then you and he have be
come reconciled V
'Oh, yes.' he replied: 'lie came home
with nie yesterday, aiid remained till
I started on my visit to Mari in.'
'Where was your pockctbook mean
time t"
?Wliy, in niy p >ckct, of course,' said
Archie, looking astonished at the
(]liest ion.
'All the lime?' I continued.
'AH the time,' he answered?'that is,
all except a few minutes that I was in
my bedroom changing my dress. I
had taken out niy pockctbook just be
fore to consult a paper, and laid it on
niy sitting-room table.'
'And Grayson was in the sitting
room ?'
'(Vrtniiily, but why do you ask ?
You do not think, surely'?
T think nothing at present,' I re
plied; and encouraging my friend to
hope for the best, took my leave.
My first step w. s to ascertain the
numbers and description of the notes
found in Archie's possession; the next
to call on Mr. Gordon.
'You paid Mr. Norton some money
yesterday,' I began.
?J did' was the answer.
'Did you keep a memorandum of
the numbers and denominations of t lie
notes ?'
'Ii is my invariable custom.'said
Mr. Gordon, 'and I followed it in this
instance'
'Then you will be able to tell
whether this is a correct list and des
criplioh of I hem,' I continued, hand
ing Mr. Gordon a memorandum of
the notes found on Archie
After consulting his book, he shook
his head.
'No; these arc not the notes.'
My Ii ist hope was dashed, but I
had still another.
'Will you suffer me to taken copy
of the description of the notes you did
pay Mr. Norton ?' 1 asked.
Tho permission was given and the
copy made.
Now for hope number two.
That evening found me in social
companionship with Ralph Grayson.
We had not been intimate hitherto;
for Ilalph was of a disposition too
secretive anil selfish to admit of much
coidiality between us. For once, how
ever, we got along fnRioosly, Ralph
was in gleeful mood, notwithstanding
his friend's trouble.
'Poor Archie !' lie saiilj 'it's a very
ugly'case they have against him.'
'Very ugly," I assented,
'I'm afraid lie's guilty,' continued
Ralph.
'Jt certainly looks so at present,'I
answered. 'By-the-way,' I added, care
lessly, 'could you oblige me with
change for a twenty-dollar bill, Mr.
Grayson V
Mr. I Grayson could and did, in the
shape of four lives. I excused myself
to my companion, mil look my leave
as soon as I could without rudeness.
On examining the four bills rcceiv
cd from Giayson, I found them to
correspond exactly with four of those
described in ?fr. Gordon's mcmornu
dum of the notes paid to Archie.
"Hope number two was realized, and
the problem solved !
I bad previously learned from
Archie that he had paid out no mon
ey between the lime of receiving the
sum from Mr. Gordon, and that at
which he separated from Grayson;
am' that the note which led to bis ar
rest, he hud paid at a jeweler's, w hile
on bis way to visit Marian, for a ring
which was Co figure in the coining
ceremony. It was clear now that
Ralph Grayson bail embraced the op
port unity offered him of replacing the
contents of Archie's pockctbook with
an equal amount of the stolen money,
without reflecting that means might
exist of tracing and identifying the
former.
Acting on this c< nviction, I lost no
lime in procuring a warrant for Gray
son's apprehension, in whose posses
sion most of the purloined notes wore
foil id; and', within a brief space, ho
was in Archie's cell, ami the latter
was at Marian's side, consoling her
for the liners of hitter suffering she.

Carrier D 'Ves.
These u-cful birds increase in value
with each new d .?vebeeu.m' of t'i M r
usefulness. 'I lib latest application of
the 'homing' faculty, as it is.called,
of this bird, is the establishment of
communication between lightships and
the shore, at times when it is imposs
ible to convey intelligence by any
other method. The maratin.e code
of signals is taken advantage of, and
two or three letters arc stamped on
the wing, intimating the nature of the
assistance required. The bird is then
let loose, ami makes its way to its
haunts on shore. By this means many
a shipwrecked mariner may be saved
from denth. In a great many cases a
'pigeon service' might be made to
supcrccdc the electric telegraph. This
would blithe reviving the practice id'
the great stockbrokers at the begin
ning of the century. During the war,
relays of pigeons were kept all along
the road from Paris to London, so
that these [speculative gentlemen ob
tained the earliest news of the course
of events. The carrier-pigeon came
into special prominence ditri g the
late, seigc of Paris; letters, photograph
ed on the minutest scale, were carried
to and fro by i's means. The Pros
si ins could m>t intercept tho bilds,
and ended by adopting the system
themselves. At the ptcsent time every
fortress and for tided town in Ger
many is provided with flocks of train
ed pigeons, by which means communi
lions could he seist itito town, if in
vaded by a hostile force.
On lit in of Indian Namkb ?The
.Sioux Indians name their pappooses
after events transpiring at the time of
their birth. As illustrative of this
peculiar trait, Red Cloud is known to
have taken that name from the fact
that the western sky wns over spread
with red clouds at the moment of tho
birth, while the bringing of a captive
horso with a spotted tail gave the tow
great chief the singular cognomen of
Spotted Tail. Sitting Bull received
his name because, a buffalo was, by a
lucky shot thrown upon its haunches
in plain sight of his mother's tepec at
the natal hour, while the cavortings
of a fractious pony furnished a name
for the redoubtable Crazy Horse.

The New Boy.
Ho made his appearance at oneuf
the Union Schools the oilier morn
ing, and arriving ahead of time, lie
prevented any feelings of loneliness
from seizing him hy licking three
boys and riding the gate oil'its hinges,
lie went in with the crowd when the
bell rang, and finding no empty scat,
ho perched himself on the woodbox.
When the children repeated the
'Lord's prayer' in concert, the new
boy kept time with his heel, and when
they came to sing he argued that
variety M as the spice of song and
attempted to sing one of his own?one
about a g.ntlcmnn named Dan
Tucker, who dreamed that he was
dead, nud so forth. The teacher
warned him to keep still, and he re
plied that he wouldn't come to that
school if hia musical qualifications
were to be overlooked. When school
finally opened the teacher secured his
name and began asking him questions
in older to find out how he should be
graded.
'Can you spell ?' she asked.
'What kind of spelling V lie
cautiously replied.
'.Spell house, please.'
'Frame or brich house ?' he asked.
'Any kind of a house.'
'With a mortgage on it?'
'You may spell man, ifyou will,'she
said giving him a severe look.
'Man ?'
'Yes.'
'I don't care much about spelling
man this morning, but I will this
afternoon. I've spelt it wi th my eyes ,
shut.'
'Do you know your alphabet ?' she
asked, chandging the subject.
'Never had any,' was the prompt
reply.
'Do you know any thing about read
ing?'
'I rend 'ike?lightning !' he answer
ed
'Let me hear you read.'
'Read right out loud ?'
'Yes.*
'I'm afraid it will disturb the child
ren,' he whispered.
'Go on, let me hear you read;'
He looked carefully at the'page
scowled his brow and read :
?If I were a lame boy and didn't

He handed the book back and the
teacher asked:
'Kichnrd, how many arc three and
three?'
'Three and three of what ?' he in
quired.
'Anything.'
'It's a good deal according to what,
it is,' he replied, as he settled back.
'I know that three and three cats
don't make a dog.'
'Did you ever study geography
Richard*?'
'Yes, ma'am.'
' W hat is geography ?'
'It's a book.'
'Is tho world round or flat?
'IIilia and hollers,' he replied.
'Richard, can you write?'
'Write what?'
'Can you write your name ?'
'I could, I 'spose; but I've got my
name without writing it.'
'Can you write a letter?'
'Who to?'
'To any one.'
'Yes, I could, if I had money to pay
the postage.'
'Well, Richard,' she said in des
pair, you'll have to go into the lower
room if you waut to come to school
here.'
'I'd ruthcr slay here.'
But you can't.
I'll bet you this knife agin ten
cents I can.
She took him by the arm to remove
him, but ho laid his hand on her
shoulder and said in a warning voice ;
Don't get mo mad now, or I'll let
myself loose.
Sho called the principal down, and
as he approached the boy he demand
ed :

continued the principal.
Well, don't sass me, Cor I wns never

moving his log--, as if he meant to get
down.
The principal tool; him by the col

on the shin and hi lien oa tho wrist,
and finally landed the young stu lent
on the walk.

tried to recover his breath.

You clear out or I'll have you ar

Hain't I a scholar in this school no
more ?
No, sir.'
Who owns this school house ? de
manded the boy.
'No mailer; clear out.'
Will you come out into the yard
where you can't hang anything? ask
cd the boy.
Rcgone, I say.
Don't draw no Derringer 0:1 me!
warned the boy as he backed olF, nor
don't think you can scare me with any
of your bowie-knives.
The principal walked in and shut
the door, and after the. now boy ivajl
stood there long enough to show that
he wasn't afraid he turned and walk
cdoff, growling to himself:

A Cloak of Feathers.
There is an industrious young lady
in the country, says the Kingston
(New York) Freeman, who is mak
ing a cloak almost entirely of partri
dge feathers. It will be a 'iniqtia
piece of clothing and very pretty and
comfortable, though it requires an
immense amount of labor and per
severance to put it together. In it
will be at least 10,000 feathers of dif
ferent sizes, the lower, portion of tho
cloak being made of the tail feathers
and then ranging up,the breast feath
ers come next, while tho variegated
plumage around tho neck of the bird
will encircle the white throat of the
lady. Jt will require about one hund
red partridges to fill but the regular
course of feathers, jvvhieh ar placed
in layers similar to the way in which
they grow <in the bird. When finish

probably double that amount. Tho

The sweetest and most signal re

to belittle our labors or underestimate
our abilities, is to do everything well,
to lead irreproachable lives, to earn
popular confidence and respect, to

to succeed in every ajt and labor.
