 Tn the morning the two journeyed to Brookdeld.
 "I won't go to the bank with you" Crane said; T wish you would go in alone. Just see if the man you got this note from is behind the rail. I'll wait at the hotel.''
 Tn fifteen minutes he was lrejoined by Farrell.
 "Well?" he asked.
 t.He's there, right enough"
 "A short, dark little chap?" ques1 toned Crane, hesitatingly, putting Alan Porter forward as feeler.
 "No. A tall fellow with a mus tache.''
 You are sure?"
 Dead sure, unless he's got double, or twin brother
 Crane felt that at last he had got in disputable proof; evidence that would satisfy even Allis Porter.
 we can go back now," he said to- Farrell; i've may as well walk leisure ly to the station; we can get train" he pulled out his watch--"in twenty minutes
 Crane had made up his mind not to show himself at the bank that day.
 AS they walked slowly toward the station Crane met abruptly the girl who was just then so much in his thoughts. Her sudden appearance quite startled him. She had gone in to do some shopping, she explained, after Cranes greeting.
 FarrcH continued on, and suddeA determination to tell the girl what he had unearthed took quick possession, of Crane.
 He began by assuring her that he had prosecuted the inquiry simply through a desire to establish the inno- cence of either Mortimer or her broth CT, or, if possible, both. He related how he had traced the stolen note, how he had discovered 1t. i how he had brought the tookmaker down, and how, without guidance from l him, Farrell had gone into the bank and identified Mortimer as the man who had bet the money.

 .'I'm sorry" he offered as atone ment. Perhaps I shouldn't have told you; it's too brutal"

other, pointing to two consecutive numbers of one thousand each.
 That was the other way about" an- swered the bookmaker; that was pay. A thousand to one hundred twice over Lauzanne. I think it must have been stable money. for one of the guys was like big kid; he didn't know ;nough to pick a winner in thousand years"
 The coincidence of this amount with the win attributed to Mortimer ap- pealed to Cranes fancy. You remem- Der the man who made this bet. then?" he asked.
 ''Yes, sure thing. There was two of 'em, as you see. remember him be- cause it took some explainin' to get the bet through his noddle. He was soft mark for bunco steerer. It must a-been f1rst-time luck with him, for he cashed.'
 1 Gan you describe him?"
 The Cherub drew an ornate verbal picture, cognate enough to convince { Crane it was Mortimer who had made one of the bets.
 Now find this thousand-dollar note for me-" he said; take trouble over lt, 6Ot AC1P II ACCCSShIyI SO pO every bookmaker that was in line that day. If you find the note, exchange other money for it and bring it to me-"
 There may be chance,' comment ed Faust, scratching his fat poll medi- tatively; "the fellows like to keep these big bills; they're easier in the pocket than whole bundle of finn sies. The next day was getaway day, an they wouldn't be payin' out much. I'll make 8 play fer it."
 The next afternoon Faust reported at Cranes rooms with the rescued note in his possession.
 T give dozen of lem a turn," he said, before run again Jimmie Far rell."
 Does he know who bet it?''
 Some stranger; he'd know him if he saw him. he says"
 The scent was indeed getting hot. Why not take Farrell down to Brook field to identify Mortimer.
 'I'm much obliged to you" he said to Faust. T won't trouble you fur- ther; I'll see Farrell myself"
 That evening the banker saw Far rell. There was little crooked work over that thousand Faust got from you he said, ..an' if you could hnd 2 tirue to go with me for an hours run

 mind working smoothly to the hum of the busy wheels beneath his coach.
 He reasoned tlat Mortimer had taken the thousand-do note think ing to win three or one thousand at least over his horse, The Dutchman, and then replace the abstracted money. Crane was aware that Alan Porter had told Mortimer of The Dutchmans almost certain prospect of winning; in fact, the boy had sug- gested that Mortimer had taken it for this purpose. Mortimer would not have changed the note; would have taken 1t straight to the race course. He must have lost it to some book maker over The Dutchman Crane knew the number of the stolen note The three ne-thousand-dollar bills were new, running in consecutive numbers, B CHASE, ,-83-84; he had mo- ticed that quite by chance at the time; it was the middle one, B 67,483, that was missing So he had a possible means of identifying the man who had taken the money. Mentally he fol- lowed Mortimer during the day at Gravesend. From Alan he knew Of his winnings over Lauzanne.
 Crane reasoned that Mortimer, hav- ing risked the thousand on his horse, had been told that Lauzanne might win. This had perhaps frightened him, and being unfamiliar with the folly of such a course had backed two horses in the same race-had put a hundred on Lauzanne at ten to one to cover his risk on The Dutchman, feel ing this made him more secure. He would either win considerable stake or have sufficient in hand lo cover up his dedication. The first thing to do was to find the note if possible. Faust you'd be the man for this commission
 Immediately upon his arrival in New York Crane telephorGd for Faust asking him to bring hilsA citing sheet for the second last day of the Brook lyn meet. When Faust arrived al Cranes quarters the latter said: "I want to trace a thougand-dollar note No. B 67,4S3. think it was bet on the Brooklyn Derby, probably on my horse.
 Faust consulted his bet@ng sheet 'sI didn't have no thousand in one bet on that race, he said

 t'God-by, my hero" She raised her eyes, blurred with tears, and held out her hand gropingly, as one searches in the dark, for the room whirled like a storm cloud, and just faintly she could see the mans strong face coming to her out of the gloom like the face of a god. He took her hand Good by, = his voice vibrated brokenly: Tiff justice wills that my innocence be- known some day, may I come back2 Will you wait, believing in me for little?''

 He drew her to him by the hand he still clasped. and put his strong arms about her. What mattered it now that he had been falsely accused-what mattered it to either of them that he must accept the grim penalty of his endeavor? With them in the soft gloom was nothing but love. and faith, and innocence: and within the strong arms 8 sense of absolute security, as though the false accusing world had been bafded, beaten down, and the vic- tory theirs-love.
 He raised the girls face and kissed her. Let God witness that press your brave lips in innocence" he said; ]; land in this pledge I love you forever and ever.''

Emperor's Little Joke.

The Emperor FRANCIS Joseph some.
times rebukes his officials in fashion
which. in less exalted persdnage,
might be looked upon as a practical
joke. A short time ago the emperor
noticed that the roads were in a very
bad condition, so he sent message
to the official who was responsible for
keeping them in order that in a couple
of days royal carriage would be sent
to bring him to the castle of Lainz.
On the day appointed the coachman,
who had received his orders, drove the
official over the worst roads in the dis
trict, going at full gallop, with the re-
suit that the wretched man was
s?@ashed with mud from head to foot
When at last he reached the castle, he
began profuse apologies for the state
of his clothes to the grand duke who
received him, but was met with the
laughing reply, 20, that's nothing! The
emperor comes home like that. every
time he goes out for a; drive In .;
few days that official had put his roads
in perfect order.-Boston Globe

BESSIE PLAYED BARBER.
And When She Got Through with the
Boys They Were Perfect
Frights.

Bessie is the six-year-old daughter of
Chubbs, who owns a fine house on the
eastern side of Central park, just off
Millionaire's row, relates the New York
Press. Bobby is the four-year-oid
darling of Blubbs, who lives a block
away. Harry is the curly-haired gem
of Hubbs. The three families are mu-
tual friends. The children are sent to
the park under the charge of one nurse
maid. This estimab]e person takes her
sewing with her and sits on bench
while the three children, wander of to
play.
One afternoon the nurse espied
friend. She dropped her scissors on
bench and hurried off to see her. She
was gone ten minutes, according to her
own account. Meanwhile Bessie had
discovered the scissors
Lets play barber" she said, 'and I'm
the barber
So far as Bobby and Harry are con-
cerned Bessie is usually anything she
wants to be. When the nurse returned
she almost tainted. The six. long,
golden curls that had adorned Harry's
head when he entered the park were
hanging gracefully over the back of
the bench. Bobby's own "clubbed"
haircut straight across the back, with
bang in fr0nt-looked like well-worn
feather buster.
What shall I do?" shrieked the
nurse, to policeman who responded to
her screams. -
calmly surveyed the wreck and then
observed:
do? Why, take the kids home, and
be thankful We didn't bring razor"
