"Very well; I am enchanted to have met one of your profession so soon; let s go now; I am In a hurry." "Truly," thought the banker, "these thieves are not very clever at conceal ing their crimes." They left the hotel, the unsuspicious r.DK.!nman lollowed by Cassajon. The banker showed the stranger Into his private office and offr-red him a chair. The cashier seated himself. "Kindly give me your notes," said the banker. The Englishman sorted out these documents from other papers In his poeketbook, and handed them to Caji sajon. The banker erifled them, they were quite correct: they represented, in ed 400.000 franca. He shut them tp In his safe, shot the bolt of bis dix.r, and, whipping n pistoi out of his pocket aimed it at the cashier. "Monsieur," he said, calmly, "you are a rascal." The Englishman made a gesture of astonishment. "1 know very well who you are," went on Cassajon; "it's useless for you to deny It. You are the cashier of my esteemed London correspond- ent, Mahenscn & Co.

I will return them immediately, minus the 60,000 francs which yu told me to give him. Your generosity seems to have made a great Impression on him, and he thanks you In the name of his wife and children, and has promised to become an honest man again. Permit me, though to say, my dear friends, that though your gener osity Is most worthy of Imitation, still It seems to me a bad example to set, that of rewarding cashiers who steal one"s money." Py return mail the banker received this: "Dear Monsieur Cassajon: You have been the victim of a malicious and audacious thief! Our oafihler has not stolen a cent from us, he Is always at his post, and has never betraved our confidence. The notea you re turned to us are fonred.
