The progress of the expedition was. on

Fly specks Cause a Discrepancy.

In one of our largo establishments con-
nected with the iron industry there occurred
recently an apparent discrepancy in the
accounts involving matter of 5000 pounds
of scrap iron, says the Philadelphia Record.
The clerks of the department were set to
work to unravel the tangled skein, and after
they had expended two whole days in the
search they were compelled to give up the
task and pronounce it beyond their compre-
days.
Several days later the office-boy decided
to keep himself in practice in addition by
footing up a column of figures on a sheet
which was lying on desk beside him in the
scrap-iron department. Bending his ener
gies to the task, he got along swimmingly
with the units, tens and hundreds columns
but when he came to the fourth column, he
could not make it agree with the footings
set down. Again and again he tried it, and
with the same result-3000 less. Going over
the figures one by one his attention was
drawn to queer looking one. A fly speck
was beside it in such position as to make
it appear like four. and as such it had been
counted by each of the clerks in the depart
ment. The boy had earned his promotion
and he got it.

As the first ray of sunlight waved like a

the savases rose from the ground where he
had been squatting, and with terrific yell
raised his spear. But rifle shot rang out
clear and sharp, and the man fell backward

whole band of white men had suddenly
fallen upon them.
The white captive was quickly released
