he had watched that little scrap Of
gray as he lay helpless in the grasp Of

At first it had meant nothing to
him but so much blank space, that
patch of sky.
Then it began to take on new
meaning, as he noticed that It was
often the background for a picture a
charming silhouette of a girlish face
with a little tip-tilted nose and tender
curves of cheek and chin and waving
masses of hair surmounted by tiny,
stiff cap of diaphanou5 white.

ashamed to find tears in his eyes.

A good story is told of a young man,
who, besides being Of the spendthrift
order, is a splendid mimic, and can
initiate his fathers voice to nicely.
Not long ago the young man wanted
without delay some money to pay
bill. and he knew that his father
would treat a request for the same
with cold contempt. Waiting till he
knew that his father would be away,
went to the telephone call room and
rang up the office, calling for the
cashier The cashier was forthcoming
and when he was at the other end the
young man initiated his sire's voice.

PROFIT in LOSS OF IT'S NOTES.
source of Steady and Enormous Income
to the Bank of England.

to the Bank of England.
1t is a fact that, to many minds no
doubt. must be very curious, that the
Bank of England has always had a
pretty steady source of profit in the
loss and destruction of its bank notes,
SAYS London News What it has gain
ed of late years in this way we are un-
able to say, but during a period of
fifty years preceding 1882, the bank had
made a Gle profit of f1,330,00O from
outstanding paper never likely to be
presented for payment. When the
destruction or the irrecoverable loss Of
a note can be proved, as in the event
of a fire or wreck it can, the bank, of
course, will always pay the money 1t
represents, and even when there is
doubt about it, the cash is paid on Sc
curitv being given for indemnifying the
bank should the note ever be present.
ed. The ECO 600 worth Of paper-or E2O,-
600. as it appears to have been reduced
to-taken from the Parr bank, will
therefore not represent loss unless
the crisp little billets have some day
to be honOred at the Bank Of England
counter. In that case the cash
paid in exchange for them will
have to come out of the Golfers of the
pIundered bank Many years ago a
bank direc or lost a note for 100000.
But being a man of credit and as there
was 10 doubt about the loss of the
bin, lie gave the usual indemnity cad
got the money Many years after, wheH
the man had been dead, the paper was
presented 1t was payable on de-
mand and had come from abroad in
the ordinary way of business and the
sum it represented had to be handed
over. and as the indemnity that had
been given was repudiated by the
heirs of the man who had given it
and for some reason could not be en-
forced the bank on that occasion had
to put ESQ 900 on the debit side of the
account. For once in a way they paid
the double honor to a bit of their own
paper. There is another story of a
sum of 100000, which the bank in its
early days for a short time refused to
hand over in exchange for its own
notes They were presented by Jew,
whose assertion that he had bought
them was not disputed, and whose per-
sonal integrity was above suspicion,
They had, however, undoubtedly been
stolen and on that ground the bank
refused to pay the money. The Jew
went out into the city and began to
spread it about that the bank
was shaky and couldn't cash his notes
and, as he backed the assertion by dis
playing his indisputable paper, the as
sertion would in all probability soon
have caused run on the bank and in
a few minutes a messenger came to
say that the notes would be cashed II
lie would present them again.
