hastily placed them in his poCketbook,
thinking no more about the matter until
some one asked him for change. Imagine
his astonishment upon perceiving he pos

He fastened back to the store, told the
young lady cashier of her mistake and had
it rectified. She was badly frightened
The very thought of having SIS deducted

the honest man with thanks, and might even
