a man who had served o term In prison
for cmbezzlemont. he said that the FIRST
step In his downfall was the stamp
drawer. The clerks In that store, rs In
many. II not In most stores. helped
themselves In stamps from this drawer
for their private letters, using the firms
stationery also. What more natural
than that they should take few more
stamps u they were ordering some triilo
by mail? Having made this start aud
seeing no trouble therefrom, how easy
d was to take a larger amount when q
more expensive article was wanted,
The step from the dollars worth OF
stamps to the dollar Itself was not a
very long one. and then to larger
amounts, followed at length by dlscov-
cry and prison. This was the mans
story. and 1t set me to thinking.
