A few years ago 7 resided a portion
Of spring and summer near st. Cloud,
one of the picturesque, interesting en-
virons of Paris, and had as next door
neighbor an old dealer in tapestry, who
had retired from business with a mod
crate fortune, and who had settled his
three children comfortably in life.
This old neighbor was named Victor
Lamotte, and if all the inhabitants Of
this world were as sterling in charac-
ter and straightforward in their affairs
life would be more pleasant and peace
full than it is at present. Lawyers,
notaries, process-servers sheriffs' Of
ffcers and all that band Of men who in

ton considerably diminished, and earth
would be-what believe it was intend

his fellowmen in our commerce, and

lent difference Of opinion into a pro-
tracted law suit and proceeded stub

by his gentle ministrations and kindly
advice into the we'll of oblivion and
covered by reconciliation.

examining his purchase he came across
secret drawer containing 100 900
francs in bank notes. which had been
hidden there by an Old miser who was
afraid of thieves; that the miser had
died suddenly intestate, and he had not
confided to any heir where the treasure
was concealed. ~
