To say that this splendid work of

based on sound sense and usefulness,
is an insult to the intelligence Of mill

this to any reasonable person. Added

as possible all that was known about
the strange lady. Finally, Miss Tai

Cashiers Matters at the Bank.

could be said to rest when half a dozen
bank officials aided by young Osborn,
were industriously turning over all the
bank books, looking up the collaterals
and deposits, which at one point

two erasures in the balance sheets,
difficult to understand, and yet which
might be made to come right in the

too soon to say there was anything
wrong. Besides. Mr.. Hamilton was
possessed of ample means, and would,
no doubt, place matters on a firm foot

books which had been examined had
been found absolutely correct. Still,
as L have said, the officials, with
anxious faces and behind closed doors,
pored over the ledger and CASH books
from dawn till nightfall.
Constance knew nothing of all this
stir for there was no one to tell her.
Mrs. Fry was very indignant at what
she deemed the unworthy course of
public feeling, and walked the whole
