Monsieur Bichat said he would go inside for
the money. Presently he returned, holding
| a paper in his hand all covered with ink.
"You will have to draw and sign another
note, said Monsieur Bichat; "my partner,
| by accident, upset the ink over this one"
Paul saw at glance that it was not the
note which he had drawn, as it was on blue
lined paper, while the paper which Monsieur
Bichat held in his hand was white.
THAT is not the note" said Paul, inno-
Gently; lit was on blue paper"
| Monsieur Bichat was evidently confused,
and gave Paul glance that would have
come with effect from brigand.
LET me see," said the gentleman.
But Monsieur Bichat was too cunning to
do that, and, after examining the paper,
said:
"Well, now, Paul, you are right. What a
funny mistake to make!"
Then he went in and brought out the gen.
uine note and began to explain how the mis-
take had occurred.
"By the way" said the gentleman, taking
the note and examining it, you might make
the amount 500 francs. The three diamonds

rush at him Paul seized his hat and left
| the place. He informed the police the next
day, but when he went to the number of the
street, which he had carefully entered in his
book, there was no such persons as Monsieur
Bichat or Monsieur Richat, and when he

very offices, an old lady was seated in the
| back room directing circulars, and in the
| front room an old gentleman was painting
Autographs.
Paul tried hard for several days to get
employment, and then, as his money was
nearly all gone, he determined to go back to

friend couldn help him in some way. He
