The Stolen Note.
Ex ept that he indulged too free
ly in the use of the intoxicating
cup, John Wallace was an honest,
high-minded and ex'raordinary
man. His one great fault hung
like a dark shadow over bis many
virtues. He neant well, and when
he waa sober tih did well.
He was a batter by tradp, and by
industry and thrifthe had secured
money enough to buy the house in
which he lived. He had purchased
it several years before for three
thousand dollars, paying one thou
sand dollars down, and securing
the balance by mortgage in the sel‘
ler.
The mortgage waa almost due at
tie time circumst nces made mo
acquainted with the affairs of the
family. But "Wallace was ready for
the day; he h«d saved up the mon
ey ; there seemed to be no possibil
ity of an accident. I was well ac
quainted with Wallace, having
done some little collec.ing and
drawn up some legal documents for
him: One day, his daughter An
nie came to my office i« great disj
tress, declaring that ber father was
ruined, and that they shou'd be
turned out of tbe bouse in whicl
they lived.
‘Perhaps not, Miss Walace,’ sai l
T, trying to console her, and give
the affair, whatever it was, a bright
aspect. ‘What has happened ?’
‘My father,’ she replied, ‘had the
money to pay the mortgage on the
house in which we live, but it is all
gone now.’
‘Hae he lost it ?’
‘I don’t -know. I suppose so.
Last week he drew two thousand
dollars from the bunk and lent it to
Mr. Bryce for ten days.’
•Who is Mr. Bryce?’
‘Ho is a broker. My father got
acquainted with him through Geo.
Chandler, who boards with us, and
who is Mr Bryce’s clerk.’
‘HoeB Mr. Bryce reluse to pay
it?’
‘He says ho has paid it.’
‘Well, what is the trouble, then?’
‘Father says he has not pai 1 it.’
‘lndeed! But the note will prove
that he has not paid it. Os course,
you have.tbe note !’
‘N j. Mr. Bryce has it.’
‘Then, of course, he has paid it.’
Tsuppose he has, or he could
not have the note.’
‘What does your father say ?’
‘He is positive he never received
the money. Tae mortgage, he says,
uuuet be paid to morrow.’
‘Very singular ! Was your fa
tber -’
I hesitated to use the unpleasant
word which must have grated
harshly on the ear of the devoted
girl.
‘Mr. Bi ice says lather was not
quiie right when he paid him, and
not very bad.’
‘I will see your father.’
‘He is coining up hote in a few
moments; I thought I would see
you first and tell you the facts be
fore he came.’
‘I do not sec how Br><e could
have obtained the note unless he
paid the mtmey. Where did your
father keep it ?’
‘He gave it to me, and I put i’
in the secretary.’
‘Who was in the room when you
put it in the secretary ?’
'Mr. Bryce, Gecrge Chandler, my
lather and tuy6elf.’
The conversation was bore inter
rupted by the entrance of Wallace, j
He looked paie and haggard, us
much from tbe effects of anxiety
as from the debauch from which he
was rcccve.-ing.
ble. has told you about it, I sup
pose ?' sai l he, in a very low tone.
‘Site has.’
I oi’tied him poor fellow. f« r two

for one to undergo to appreciate.
•Wliat passed between you on
that day ?’
‘Well, I merely stepped into lis
office—it waa only the day before
yesterday—to tell him not to forget
to have the money ready (or me by
to morrow. lie took me back into
bis offitfb, and as I eat there he slid
he would get tbe money ready the
next day. He then left me and
went into the front office, where I
heard him send George to the bank
to draw a check for two thousand
dollats, so I supposed he was going
to pay me then.’
‘What does the clerk say about
it.’
‘He sa's Mr. Bryce remarked
when he sent him, that he was go
ing to pay me tbe money.’
‘Just so.’
‘And when George came in he
went into tbe fron'. office again and
took the n oney. Then he came to
me again but did not offer to pay
me tbe money.'
‘Had you the note with you ?’
‘No! now I remember he said he
supposed I had noi the note with
me or he would pay it. I tol I him
to come in the next day and l
would have it ready —that was yes
terday. When 1 came to look tor
the note it could not be found.
Annie and 1 have hurled the house
all over.’
‘You told Bryce so ?’
‘I did. He laughed and showed
me hts note, with bis signature
crossed over with ink and a hole
punched through it.’
‘lt is plain Mr. Wallace, that he
paid you the money, as tilleged, or
has obtained fraudulent possession
ol the tote, and intends to cheat
you out of the amount ’
‘He never paid me,’ he replied,
firmly.
‘Then be has fraudulently taken
possession of the note. What sori
of a person is that Chandler, wh >
boi’ds wi h you.’
‘A fine young man. Bless you,
he wou’d not do anything of that
kind,’
‘I am sure he would not,’ repeat
ed Annie, earnestly.
“How else could B yce obtain
the note but through him ? What
time does le same home at night.’
Always at tea time. He never
goes out in the evening.”
•But, father, bo did not come
home till ten o clock the night be
fore you went to Bryce’s. He had
to stay in the office to post books
or something of the kind.’
‘How did he get in ?’
‘He has a night key.’
‘I must see Cbundltr,’ said I,
•No harm in seeing hint,’ added
Mi. Wallace,‘l will go for him.’
In a few mom.nts be returned
with the young man Chandler, who

manifested a lively interest in tbe
solution of the tuyslery, and pro
fessed l.itmelf ready to do anything
to forward my views.
‘When did you return to the
house on T uesday night?’
‘About twelve.’
’Twelve,’said Annie,‘it was not
more than ten when I heard you ’
‘Tbe clock struck twelve as I
turned the corner of the street,’ re
plied Chandler, positively.
‘I certainly heard some one in
the font room at ten,’ s il Annie
looking with astonishment at tbose
arout-d her.
‘We’re getting at something,’ said
I. ‘How did you get in ?’
The young man smiled as he
glanced u* Annie, and said :
‘On arriving at the door I found
had lost my night key. At that
moment a watchman happened
along and I told biin my situation.
He knew me, and taking a ladder
from an unfinished house opposite,
placed it agHtnst one of the second
Hoy windows, and I entered in
that way.’
‘Good. Now, who was it that
was heai d in the parlor unless it
was Bryce or cue o! his accompli
ces ? He must have fatten the key j
from your pock< t, Chandler, and i
stolen the note front tie secretary. j
At any late I will charge him with
tbe crime, let what may happen.
Perhaps he may confers when bard

Acti g upon this thought, I wrote
a lawyer’s 1. tter—‘demanded

mediately sent to Mr. Bryco. Cau

‘Wrll.jiir, wliat have you to say

‘A claim on the part of John
Wallace for $2,000,’ I replied, pok
ing over my paper perfectly indif
ferent.
Paid it,’ ha said, short as nte
crust.
‘Have you?’ said I, looking him
sharpily in the eye.
The rascal quailed. I saw that
he was a villain.
‘Neveitbeless, if within an hour
you d<tii»t pay me 82,000 and 8100
for the trouble and anxiety you
have caused my client, at the end
of the t ext you will be lodged in
jail to answer a criminal charge.’
‘What do you mean, sir? 1
‘I mean wliat I say. Pay or take
the consequences.’
It was a bold charge, and if ho
had looked like an honest man, I
should not have'dsrou it.
‘I have paid the money, I tell
you,’said he; ‘I have the* note in
my possession.’
‘Where Jid you get it ?’
‘I got it when I (iaid the—’
“When you feloniously entered
the house of John Wallace, on
Tuesday night at 10 o’clock, and
took the note front the Secretary.’
‘You hare no proof,’ said he,
grasping a chair for support.
’That is my lookout. Will you
pay or go to jail ?’
He saw that the evidence 1 had

Doing lim n a Woman.
I hearty schoolboy of tixteen
was complaining at the breakfast
tab o, the other day, in my pres
! ence, of some serb s of entertain
ments lor which fivo dollars were
charged fin a inu'i and only three
for a woman. ‘Fred,’ a,sked some
body, ‘would you be a woman for
two dollars?' ‘No!’ he ciied, ‘not
for ten dollars, not for fifty. ’
‘There isn’t a morning of my life,’
added the goolnatured blundering
fellow, 'that I don't thank myself
that I wasn’t bora it female!' I
suppose that be spoke the com
mon experience. In the Hebrew
religious service the man thanks
God that, ho was not tur n a woman,
while ti e woman, more humbly
and reverently, thanks God that
she was created according to His
will. Whence comes this wide
spread preference for iho one lot
ovi r the olhei?
Perhaps it is not spread quite ns
wide y n» it seems. In eatly
youth, perhaps, it is very nearly
universal. The childish pursuits
and traits o. boys and girls are
nit so very unlike, and if either ts
especially inclined to the ways of
the other it attracts little attention.
Until muturitv a healthy girl is
left almost as free us her brother,
in occupations, pleasures even
dress; indeed many patvn's even
welcome in a girl the robust and
free action that seems to belong
rather to the other sex. As I was
once looking down with that mag
nificent eiecimen of womanly
vigor, Charlotte Cushman, upon
the bo.’.ch at New) ort, some one
said, ‘How those boys enjoy play
ing i.n the sand,’ ‘I should think
they wouldl’ she said emphatical
ly, and added, ‘I know I did
when 1 was a boy!’ T.ie remark
seemed almost unconscious and
appeared the only fit thing to say.
How could she, in her s mug and
jubilant childhood, h tve beon any
thing but a boy? It is afterwards,
when long skirls and formal re
straint come in to impede activity,
that the young girl chtfes because
she is a girl. At that period of
life, the prefer) nee is almost uni
v rsal, at mtetn let us grant, ev
ery one, of either sex, would pre
fer to he a buy.
But later, when the brief dream
of girlish p'wet comeson; when
the maiden, if attractive, wields for
a few years a power more intoxi
cating and more boundless than
any man —be he statesman or gen
eral, orator or poet —can exercise;
when she finds her weakness
greater than man’s strength, her
smile their bliss, her indifference
their despair; when they lay aII
their laurels at her feel and are re
warded by a word; is it so sure
that, in that prime intoxication of
life, the prim ess would change
places w ith her slave and the wo
man consent to he a man? And
again in later life, would the moth
er wi:h her baby at ber breasi—
herjoy’thta man-child is born
into the world’—her ‘Philip, my
kiu, I' in her arms, would she
orange planes with her husband?
Nol I fancy that, whenever a
woman’s mature l'fo iB full and
healthy and successful, the early
impulse is found to be an error
and tbe woman is content with her
let.
But there are doubtless many
exceptions and what sh ill we say
of these? lam one of those who
believe that the universe is well
built, and that good predominates
enormously over evil. Il so, it is
impossible to believe that either of
the two great halves of humanity
has much advantage over the
oth( r; the laws of health, the laws
of happiness must he ns surely
discoverable among women us j
among men. -though perhaps j
mor- slowly. Tnat her fell devel

An e liter in Chicago rocent'y
ordered a pair of trousers from the
tailor. On trying them on they
proved to ba several incites too

night, the taylor shop was closed
the editor took the trousers to his
wife and asked her to cut t 1 ern off
and hem them over. The good la
dy, whoso dinner had perhaps
disagreed with her, brusquely re
fused. The same result followed
an application to the wife’s sister
and the elded daughter. Hut lie

took the pents and, cuttirg off j
six inches from the legs, hemmed j
them uo nicely and restored them

The idea degen' rated into a mon

planned from various points in the
United States nnd Canada, and the
bout was sold a few days a day ago
to a gargling oil company to be us
