heavily.
1t seems that he came TO the night
clerk of the Palace hotel few evenings
ago, and with great display Of secrecy
handed him little pasteboard box,
with the information that it contained
valuables, Il want this placed in the
safe. Mr.. Hammen, he said, las many
costly things are in it. Twill go out
this evening with Mrs. Joy and would
prefer to have it III secure place -
''All right, sir. - Responded tho clork,
with one of his justly celebrated bows,
and the box was tucked away in far
corner, after Which the combination
was turned twice and tho congressman
went his way rejoicing.
The next evening he returned to the
office and politely said TO Mr. Martin,
81 will take the box of valuables left
with you last evening" Tho box was
delivered, and Mr.. Joy opened it before
the clerk. Greatly to his surprise, it con-
tanned nothing but tortoise shell comb
and few pieces Of tissuep paper The
clerk blnshHd and go did Mr.. JOY Both
gentlemen looked confused
Several attempts at explana ton were
INDUCED in, bat Mr.. JOY could not &C
count for the disappearance Of the jew
els. and Mr. Martin knew the box had
not left tho safe. There was long, pain
ful spell Of heavy silence, and both gen
tlemen grew very polite to each other.
Everything was looking peculiar to va
rious people who stood srouad and
thought all by themselves. Very little
was said, however. Finally Mr.. Ham
mon, who received tho package, was
sent for lie also knew nothing. The
participants were all OH the defensive,
but not a blow was struck But it was
getting frigid for somebody.
Presently the congressman went MP
stairs to sec Mrs. JOY about the strange
disappearance. In short time he re-
turned and sneaked around to the cash
Ter. Those who were near enough heard
him whisper:
Say. old man. the wine is on me.
My wife gave me the wrong box, and
the jewels have been up stairs all the
