ALDERMAN SEDLEY TAKEN BY THE HAND. "My
dear sir" said stranger, advancing and warmly
grasping Mr.. Sedley's hand, 81 have long wished
to see you-to know you-and now, at length, my
desire is gratifed'
"Really, you flatter me-" said the gratifed MIR.
Sedey.
mot in the least, my dear sr-not in the least.
And now let me tell you what motive has prompted
me-a stranger--to intrude myself upon you"
"Oh, no intrusion" said the Alderman gra-
ciously.
"Thank you-thank you a thousand times for
saying SO: But, in word wish to secure your
autograph"
II fear,' said Mr.. Sedley, with futter of vani-
ty at the request, that it would hardly be worth
the giving"
''Let me judge of that" said the stranger ear
nestly' II have already secured the autograph of
some OF the most distinguished men in the country.
Among others, the President and his cabinet have
kindly favored me-"
Since you desire it," said the Alderman, /" tho
must again repeat it is not worth giving, l will
comply with your wish"
Then please write your name there
The stranger took out q sheet of paper and
spread it before Mr.. Sedley and pointed out a
place at the bottom to which the latter at once af
fixed his name.
How can | repay you9n said the stranger with
emotion as he carefully folded the sheet and placed
it in his pocket-book. With low bow, he re-
tired.
A few days afterwards, Mr.. Sedley had occasion
to withdraw portion of his funds from the bank
