A MAN OF INTUITION.
The Investment of u Small Sum of
Money That Was Made to Good
Advantage.

81 had just come back to the store
from my lunch one day." said the
merchant, as burglarproof safes were
under discussion, says the Detroit
Free Press, when middle-aged man
with a hard-up look entered my pri-
vate Office after me. The object of
his call was to strike me for half
dollar, and / am surprised yet that
l didn't at once turn him down. l
guess it was because he had the look
of a tirst-class mechanic out of a job,
and because trade was rushing with
me. To accede to his request / had
to open my big safe, and as I handed
him two quarters he thanked me and
added:
"'EXcuse me, sir, but isn't that safe
of yours too dead easy"
"'How do you mean?' l asked.
"'Why, it's a four-number combi-
nation, but you have it set only on
two. l think l could open it in
couple of minutes
"'If you can, II give you five dol
lars | said, feeling a little nettled at
his disparagement. | shut and locked
the door and stood back for him, and
in less than 40 seconds he had swung
it open.
- told you it was dead easy he
said, without a smile.
"'But how did you get on to the
combination"
"'Oh, it's intuition, I guess. Bet
ter call in a man and have the lock
set on four numbers. 1t could be
opened then, but it might take an
hour or two. Thanks again, and good
day
Il didn't let the grass grow under
my feet" continued the merchant,
land from that day on | carried
heap less money in the safe. The man
might have been a mechanic, but
somehow I've always had the idea
that he was a safe cracker, and that
l made a good investment when 1
handed over that $3.50. He might
have got $4,000 that night as easy as
rolling off a log"

"You can talk all you've mind to
about romance" growled the man who
can never keep anything to himself,
i've had enough of it,"
"Why, what's the matter?"
"WeIl, you know l have always
judged people more or less by their
voices. The other day got call ON
the telephone from somebody up on
Connecticut avenue, and the voice was
sweet enough to make you dream Of
peaches and cream. 1t was real
sweet, coaXing kind of voice. / looked
the house up and found there was one
unmarried girl living there with her
father, a widower, and / got an intro
duction just on the strength of that
voice.
"Well, she was 40 years old, with
voice like a blnzsaw. The girl who had
come to the telephone was the maid,
and she was about the color of good
chocolate. ."-Washin Times.

done it yet Mr.. Hayle," / continued.
bringing my fist down with bang
upon the table, land what's more,
clever as you may be, you are not
likely to accomplish such an end.
You'll discover that / can take very
good care of myself, but before very
long you'll find that you are being
taken care of by somebody else"
This is a strange affair indeed,
Mr. Fairfax" said the manager, land
it is evident that | have been of some
assistance to you. / need not say
that | am very glad, the more so be-
cause it is evident that our company
is not involved in any system of
fraud. l will not disguise from you
that | had my fears that it was the
beginning of trouble for us all"
You may disabuse your mind of
that once and for ALL" l answered.
"If there is any trouble brewing it
is for our friend, Mr.. Hayle. That
gentleman's reckoning is indeed like
ly to be a heavy one. ] would not
stand in his shoes for something"
There was a brief and somewhat
uncomfortable pause.
'And now allow me to wish you
very good afternoon" the old gentle
man observed.
Good afternoon" replied, "and
many thanks for the service you
have rendered me. 1t has helped me
more than | can say"
pray don't mention it, my dear
sir, don't mention it," replied the
kindly old gentleman, as he moved
towards the door. 81 am very glad
to have been useful to you"

name in our employ. 1 fear the man,
whoever he was, must have been
playing a trick upon you. l sincere
ly trust he has done no damage.
Might I ask what he called upon you
about?"
He called on me on behalf of your
company" l answered. "He informed
me that for some time past you have
ascertained the grayest suspicious
concerning the manager of your
mines in the Argentine. lie said that
information had reached your ears
to the effect that the man in ques-
tion was in league with a notorious
swindler i9 New York, and, though
you could not bring any proved
charge against him, you we're equal

in order to fill his own pockets. He

suade me to go to the republic at

was to be away three months, and
was to be paid C 5000 and my ex-
penses for my trouble"
"My good sir, this is really pre-
posterous," the old gentleman re-
turned. 81 can positively assure you
that there is not a word of truth in
his assertion. Our manager in the
Argentine is an old and valued
friend, and l would stake my life on
his fidelity. Nothing would induce
us to think even of sending a detec-
tive out to spy upon him."
Il am beginning to believe that
should like to meet Mr.. Bayley
again." l remarked. "He has a fine
imagination, and, from what you tell
me, it seems that | should have
looked a fool had / gone out to
South America on such an errand"
"It would have been exceedingly
inconyenient not only for you, but
also for u.s." said the manager. 81
shall report this matter at the board
meeting to-day. We must endeavor
to discover who this man is. and also
bis reasons for acting as he has done.

A SILENT MESSAGE.

Trembling 7 went to gaze upon the dead
With fear some nameless horror there to
see.
But 10 ms heart its sculptured silence said:
20 qulch and strong, be not afraid of me!
sThere is no terror in this silence white,
This muted pause in life's activity;
Spare expiation vow, memorial rite,
But for thine own hearts ease weep over
me!
"Fast on my closed and heavy-lidded eyes
Lie youth, love, passion, age, eternity,
The deep sea soundings of the centuries
Fen life itself is but a part of me!
"Touch me or not upon the lips and brow,
Love will not wrong me In its memory;
Love cannot pierce my isolation now;
Give to the living all thou owest me!
MATTERS it not the pyre, the sea, the soil,
For this that was the mortal part of me.
Fearless take up thy sacramental toll;
Fearless meets death, ufe's crowning
victOryn

work, II not to take my life. When
| reached my hotel again, and went
to bed, | lay awake half the night
endeavoring to arrive at an under
standing of it; but, try how | would,
l could not hit upon a satisfactory
solution. Upon one thing, however,
had quite made up my mind. AS
soon as the city Offices were open, |
would call at that of the Santa Cruz
Mining company, and put few ques-
tions to Mr.. Bayley which l fancied
that individual would find difficult
and rather unpleasant to answer.
This plan | carried out, and at ten
o'clock | stood in the handsome
outer office of the company.
Il should be glad to see the man
aging director, if he could spare me
few moments" l said to the youth
who waited upon me in answer to
his question.
Hes engaged, sir, at present" the
lad replied. IF you will take seat,
however, don't fancy he will be very
long"
/ did as he directed, and in the in
terval amused myself by studying a
large map of the Argentine Repub-
lie, which hung upon the wall. l had
practically exhausted its capabilities
when the door opened, and a tall,
military-looking man emerged and
passed out into the street
"What name shall l say, sir?" in
quired the clerk, as he descended
from his high stool and approached
me.
Fairfax" I replied, giving him my
card. 81 think the manager will
know my name"
The clerk disappeared to return a
few moments later with the request
that l would follow him. Preparing
myself for what l fully expected
would be a scene, ] entered the di-
rector's sanctum. 1t was a hand
some room, and was evidently used
as a board-room as well as an office,
for there was long table in the
middle, surrounded by at least a
dozen chairs. At the furthest end a
gentleman of venera BILE appearance
was seated. He rose as l entered,
and bowed to me.
In what way can be of service
to you, Mr.. Fairfax?" he inquired,
after | had seated myself.
81 am afraid there has been a mis-
take" l answered, looking about me
for Mr.. Bayley 81 told the clerk
that l desired to see the managing
director"
"You are seeing him." he returned
with a smile, ''for / am he"
"In that case | must have misun-
derstood the gentleman who called
upon me two days ago." L replied,
with some surprise.
"Do l understand you to say that
gentleman from this office called
upon you?"
"Yes, a Mr.. Bayley, a tall, good
looking man, of between SO and 40
years of age"
The old gentleman stared, as well
he might.

! must confess that the discovery
had made behind st. Martins
church, and which l described at the
end of the previous chapter, had
proved too much for me. What pos
sible reason could Mr.. Bayley have
for wanting to rid himself of me?

interests of his company, and now
here he was hiring a couple of ruff
fans to prevent me from doing my
