The MONEY LENDER.

AT Samuel's private residence which
was In one of the most fashionable quar-
ters of Mayfair, he kept open house at
who cared to gam ble. There was no re-
deeming feature In his character; his
whole body and soul were given to the
undermining the fortunes OF every one
who crossed his path. He had never been
caught red-handed at any actual fraud,
though he had sailed very close to the
wind. He was far too sharp n eyon his
lawsuits wero generally Iondueted
through some OF his poor relations, who
all lived and traded under different
names; hut Samuel was looked upon by
them as the flower OF the flock. Curl
ously he never had any difficulty In get.

rowers In the market who had not hank.
able securities, but who were lretty g,Cd
birds To pluck. Occasionally he made
some Dad debts and these had 20 bo

profit and loss account but there was
always large balance at the bank.
There were oftener greater demands on
him than he was able to meet, and ho
actually loaned out mooey for "a nobla

On this particular dny Samuel felt In
very good bumor, for ever since Lord
EskridRe had come Of ago he had longed
10 entrap him. MaoNamara had ex-
plained his lordship's eccentrioities, and
that everything must be In order before
he and Moore came, for In case of any de.
lay Eskridge might back out. So tho
note had been drawn out and Milmay had
been sent over to the bank, and 5000
pounds in crisp notes were lying in

A book that is very valuable to all who
have many note transactions is a "Diary."
Any ordinary diary will suffice II 1t is
diary headed With tho date and name OF
month and runs through the year.
Such a book assists the merchant In
keeping track of bills payable as they
fall due and prevents the damage that
would occur through the note being dis
honored by an oversight.
1t also prevents legal complications in
the case Of bills receivable not being pre-
/ sented on the date they are due.
This diary cuts no figure In double
entry bookkeeping. for II assists in no
way In proving" the books but IL Is a
very necessary adjunct TO the financial
end of tho system.
The bookkeeper. when entering the note
either in the Bills Receivable book or Bills
Payable book. should at the same time
enter the note In the diary
The following example will assist.
He turns up in tho diary May and
enters:

II necessary diary could be used de-
vised with cash columns on both sides. so
that bills receivable could be separated

to keep the bills receivable separate from
