was increasing hourly, but it did not

set to work to examine it. He
opened the letters while I perused
them and dictated the various re-

uttered an exclamation of surprise.

Hindred Vices.

Rev. Justus Forward, settled in Bel

once reproved workman for swearing
while he was blowing a new field.
"Swear!" said the man. "Iguess you'd

Mr.. Forward took the pillow and hur
ried after it, Indignantly denying the
charge. Then, as the fed besame more
impossible, he began painting:

round the field he stopped, breathless,
and said:

and these were exactly the men I
wanted. Addressing myself to them
I inquired how long they had been
in their present position.
"Best part of an hour, gunner"

deep down into his pockets, and
executing a sort of double shuttle as
he spoke. "Ain't dom any harm

questions l am going to ask you," l
replied. Ibid either of you see a
gentleman come down this street,
running, about half an hour or so
ago."
"Was he carrying rug and a
bag?" asked one of the men, without
hesitation.
"He was" 1 replied. "He is the
man l want. Which way did he go
when he left here?"
ssHe took Jim Boulter's cab," said
another man, who had until few
moments before been leaning against
the wall. 'The Short I'm was alooll-
in after it for i'm, and 1 heard him
call Jimmy myself. He tossed the

"Where is the Short I'm, as you
call him?" I inquired, thinking that
it might be to my advantage to in

The words had scarcely left my
lips before deputation had entered
the house in search of the gentleman
in question. When they returned
with him one glance was sufficient to
show me that the Short I'm was in a
decidedly inebriated condition. His
friends, however, deeming it possible
that their chance of approaching my
liberality depended upon his condi-
ton being such as he could answer
questions with some sort of intelli-
