The Twenty Dellar Note,
“My dear,”” said the wife of the Rev, Mr.
Vivian, almost in tore, Jane, whom we
thoueht so much o,
o lwmpossible, my iove,” was the answer,
AeJane, our chamberuadd! Whom we have
;know n z 0 long!”’
- olt seems iucredible, T know,”” replied
‘Mrs, Vivian excitedly. “DBut there is no
l(l mbit of it—="
“No doubt of 1t 2"
“Yes! Youremember giving me, as u
sual the marriage fee, after pretty Miss
Howard’s wedding—dou’t you?”” Her hus
band no Lied, = Yell, my dear, T was tived
and sleepy, for we came home very late,
and instead ot locking up the money, 1
pinned it, by one corner, to the pin-cush
iononwmy dressing-tablo, Yesterday morn
ing, when [ ecame to look forit, it was gone.
Now, noboldy had been in the room but_our
colves and Jane.”
By this time, Mr. Vivian himself began
to look almost as serions as his wile.,
“You are sure,” he sail, “that nobody
el<e has been in the chiamber !
“Why, my dear, vou know we always
keep it locked, and that Jance is the only
servant that hias a pass-Rey.
“oun have looked everyvwhere 2
“Lyverywhere, through all my drawers,
in the pocket of the dress 1 wore, on the
Hoor, under the bed, in every possible place.
vHave you spoken to Jane yet?”
“No. 1 thonght I would consult you
first., Had’'nt we better have her trunk
scarched sceretly? Iwe let her know
she is suspected, she will find some way to
hid: the note away.”
“Tam ghvl you have not spoken to her.
[t is no little matter to take away a girl’s
character.”
“But the proof, my dear?”
“The proof looks strong, but it i 8 not
conclusive. Suppose, just suppese, that,
;:lf'm-r«lisch:wging Jane, and ro destroying
her character, you should discover, some
day, that she was innocent. T think T will
take a look at the room myself.”
o olt’s really a waste of time, my dear.
I have looked everywhere, Still,”” hesita
‘tingly, **it is but right to give the poor girl
(l' Ly '
very chance,”’
| “Ishould know the note, if I saw it, any
‘'where”” said Mr. Vivian. It was & pecul-
Adarly marked twenty-dollar greenback,
stained with ink at one end. The stain
attracted my attention particularly.
An bonr’s search, however, only con
firmed Mrs, Vivians story. The note was
nowhere to be found. Mr. Vivian had been
20 thorouzh in his examination, that he
even looked under th: lining of his wife’s
dress. *‘Sometimes,” he had said, **money
slips out of a pocket, and gets between the
lining and the silk: I know of a case
where a diamond ring was lost, in that
way, for weeks.”” DBut no note was con
cealed beneath the lining.
Mr. Vivian desisted at last.
“[ cannot believe it,”” he said. *I will
not give up my faith in Jane.”’
“But who else could have dome it? I
would not have believed it either. Let us
go up stairs and search her room. Bhe is
busy in the kitchen and will not know it.”
a thief.”
“No, my dear. If we search her room,
it is due her to tell her, first, of our int n-
tion,
“Then shall T call her?”
. “1 suppose there is nothing else to be
‘done,” said Mr. Vivian, wearily,
| Mrs. Vivian moved toward the door, but
‘before she had reached it, her husband
started to his feet.
“Stop,”” he said. *I have it.”
. Ilis whole face had lightened up.
; “1 have it,”” he said. *“My dear have
you never seen mice about?
- +Mice!”” Mrs. Vivian laughed. <Why,
my dear, are you crazy? mice don’t eat
twenty-dollar notes,”’
“But have you ever seen mice in this
room ? persisted Mr. Vivian,
“[ have heard them, at night occaxional
ly, but 1 have never seen them. DBut what
can that have to do with the money V"’
“I am certain now. I should have
searched everywhere,«in any event; but
now I feel sure the miice have done it
Don't look so incredulous, my dear. A
mouse wouldn't eat & bank note, she would
rather have a bit of cheese, but she might
think the note would make o very nice
nest for her little ones. We must have the
carpets up.” ‘
«“Oh! Mr. Vivian, whas do you mean?
Take up the carpets, and have the room to
cle: n again, an lev ry thing upside down.”’
“My dear I will begin at the most likely
place :by the hearth, say. 1 will take out
the tacks myself, and very carefully, there
<hall be no dust made, I assure you. Per
haps we will not have to look far.”
Mrs. Vivian knew, when her husband
spoke in this mild, yet decided manner,
that there was nothing to do but tc yield
gracefully. She went, therefore, to a clos
et, and brought out the tack hammer.
Mr. Vivian, clergyman as he wag, did not
disdain to get on his hands and knees, and
begin to draw the tacks. Ile had loosened
the carpet for about a yard, when he cried
sulddenly,
i “*Ah! here is & mouse-hole, at any rate.”’
- Mrs. Vivian, by this time began tocatch
the infection of hisexcitement. She leancd
over him breathlessly.
oI will feel down the hole,” said her
‘husband. “The handle of the hammer is
‘thin, and this iron at the end will cateh
‘the note, if it is here, ha! there’s a yustle;
gently now. DBless my soul, if this isn’t
the very note.”
' Sure enough, there it was! A crisp,
twenty-dollar bill, with the ink-stain on
‘one end.
Mrs, Vivian burst into tears.
“To think,” she said, at last, *‘‘that I
came so near discharging Jane unjustly.
I never again will believe my own eyes.”’
“My dear,” answered Mr. Vivian, “we
were both to blame. We ought to have had
more faith in Jane. It will teach us, |
hope, never to be hasty in forming opinions.
Especially should we be careful not to con
demn otherg, without, at least, ample ev
idence.”
Low as the grave is, only faith can climb
high enouzh to see beyond it.
