mentioned the name of gentleman who
was a particular friend of the back teller.
Il have heard him speak Of you, so that
feel that have known you for years." said
the stranger
The teller invited him to sit down and
join him, and gave him permission to bring
his companion, who was introduced as a
follow actor. They both proved jolly fell
lows, and the bank teller was taken with
them. They were together two hours, and
when they parted the bank teller had prom
ised to be their guest the following evening
at the theater. He kept his promise, and
after the performance he accompanied them
to the cafe where they had met the night
before, and there another two hours were
pleasantly passed.
A few nights after this a man accosted
the teller late one night on a lonely portion
of Madison avenue, near Sixty-frst street.
He said he was detective employed by the
teller's bank.
Its my duty to report to the president
of your bank that you are the associate Of
crooks and ex-convictS," he said.
"It's lie" retorted the teller.
But | can prove it. You have been seen
two nights in succession with two men
whose criminal history is we'll known and
whose pictures are in the rogues' gallery"
The teller Immediately thought of his
new acquaintainces. Could it be they had
deceived him and they were, as the de-
tective saids If it was true it would be
difficult to explain to the officers of the
bank
"If YOU have any terms to offer might
neglect my duty" continued the man while
the bank official was thinking of the plight
he was in.
"Ths is blackmail, and won't submit
to it," answered the clerk, regaining his
courage. IF those men are crooks you are
in with them" Then, turning on his heel,
he walked off, while the detective muttered
a threat. Going home, the teller awoke his
father and told him the story. They were
both convinced it was a case of blackmail.
The next dav the father of the teller visited
the president of the bank and laid the facts
before him. The head of the detective
agency was summoned to the bank and the
president told him he believed the teller,
and the detective was discharged. But what
he had said about the new acquai tances
of the teller proved true. AS there was
only the teller's evidence as to the black
mail the case was not pushed against the
detective.
All detectives are not like this. Many a
good-hearted detective has shielded bank
clerks guilty of little indiscretions, which,
had the facts been reported, would have re-
suited in dismissal.

treated the subject in an acceptable
manner.
An interesting discussion-Doest the
relation Of the Sunday School to the
church warrant the entire control of the
school by the church?--was opened
by the president, Mr.. S. G. White, in a
very able manner, taking the ground
that the control of the school by the
CHURCH depended upon circumstances.
Rev E. L. Scruggs, Mrs Amanda Ross,
of Decatur, Rev. E. H. Beverly, T. E.
Turner of Chicago, took part in the dis.
cussion which was made interesting by
the pleasant interchange of opinions.l
An important change was made in the
constitution, giving the Sunday chool
convention the right to choose it's place
