A Genius.

"Whew4' remarked the head Of the
firm after he had listened to the report
Of the chief collector. "Who can the
rascal be? And all these people say that
they have paid and hold 1eceipt?'
"Precisely. Some fellow has been go
ing the rounds, and wherever my mel
are sent they find that at least IS per
cent of the bills have been paid. He has
even collected a lot of bills that we
considered bad. He certainly must be a
villain of the deepest dye, sir. and 1
have taken the liberty of notifying the
best private detective in the city"
''Perfectly right. Send the detective
to me as soon as he puts in an appear
ance. We must find this villain.
Half an hour later the head of the
)rm and the detective were closeted to-
gether.
"Can you find him p asked the for
mer.
''Sure! I'm satisfied now that know
who he is, and III have him inside the
bars before morning."
