May, 1892.
The bookseller, apparently without noticing
the disparity between the date written Oh the
card and the date OF receipt, filed the order,
after taking time TO hunt up the books, which,
In The course OF ten years interval. had grown
still rarer. The surprise OF the author OF the

ORDER, he suddenly had this large supply Of

When he charged the dealer With neglect the
date on the card appears to have been ex.

that dealer would be justified in filing such
an order in spite of the antiquity or the written
date, because lie would have right to assume
that his customer mad himself been careless

sit seems that Mr.. Bonty had the return

In that pocket book. and somehow he lost it..
He didn't 60 on board the steamer until just
before the sailing time, and the steamer
sailed promptly. as steamers do nowadays.
and Bonty didn't discover his loss until the
