uu Saturday. but failed 70 realize on them,
and tic rc;t>on why he failed to realize may

months back the history Of young Fau-

att.prn Buffalo, and see what can he done
there in the way Of business. What he
does is this He gets some false keys made

N}rnrbmt for burglary. Here he proceeded
with due caution, and was already making

catastrophe came. Current funds were
running short. and it became necessary to

La>allc st., the son of the Rev. Mir. FauQuier
entered their broking office and inquired
HI" ~ ice of Saginaw school bonds. Well,
really, said Amber, those bonds were not
much in market just now, and he would
Inquire q little. He tclegraphed to De-
troit; Detroit telegraphed to Saginaw ;
and soon saginaw telegraphed back that
bonds Of such Il number had been stolen
al Clifton Springs, New York, and that
the? had better be looked after.
Nhereupon Amber ambled over to
finkcrton's detective agency, and set the
hounds on the toy's track. The latter animal

escorted 10 headquarters, where, OF search,
5000 Of the suspicious bonds were found

traced out. Mr.. Fauquier has returned to
clifton Springs, and will again avail himself
OF the h~ygtcnic benefits of that locality. He

came on TO escort him. Before leaving he
owned up the whole transaction, and sWore
