ly-'I didn't"
"And while, of course, there's a lot
of talk going around about Hank suing
you, and some folks are criticising me
for keeping you here till it's cleared
up, just tell you what I'd do" and
Grocer Bington brought down his fat
hand hard on the top of a sugar bar
rel. ''If took that money, I'd confess
and give it up-but if 1 didn't, I'd see
'em in H-h-Hanover first! That's
what I'd do"
"And that's just what I'm going to

CLEAN of determination in his eye.
Let me off to-day and I'll get my de-
tense ready and begin the fight. It's
rainy and bad anyhow and there won't

Grocer Bington was reading the
morning paper when, three weeks lat
er, Hank Somers, much excited and
evidently bursting with concealed intel
ligence, clandestinely slipped through
the rear door of the store and beck
oned cautiously to Bington to follow
him into the alley.
Got all three of 'em this mornin'-
been sick and couldn't git in afore-
had the rheumatic This uns mailed
on the 9TH, this I'm on the 9th, and
this un on the 11th," and Hank
thrust three letters, one by one, into
the hands of Bington.
The groceryman, bewildered, won
dering, opened the first letter, written
in cramped and unruly hand, anu
read:
Deer Sur: My gilty conshuns is
trublin me. Now, Hank Somers, I
found yer mony miself atween the
kofe kan an the pickul key and
hearn you air trim to lay this on Ezri
Norton who never done it. My con-
shuns wont stand it and i'm sendin

"And the hull $50 is in the three
letters whispered Hank" joyously,
but" his face falling perceptibly,
''Tm mighty sorry fer layin' this here

but you jest git a nice pair O. mittens

with my compliments, an'-oh, yes,

Grocer Bington studied the letters
long and carefully, scrutinizing the
writing and the paper, but at last he
gave it up as beyond his power to fer
ret out the guilty person. In his heart,
however, he rejoiced that the stigma
attached to the good name Of his
clerk could now be lifted. He would
put the letters in the safe and save
the surprise until evening, when the
village strategy board" met about the
grocery stove to settle "p'ints" of

Thrusting the proof of Norton's in

shut the ponderous door. AS the mass
of iron and steel settled into its place
with jar, a notebook fell from be-
hind the safe to the floori
Bington picked it up absently. He
did not remember of having such
pad. Opening the cover carelessly,
the groceryman gave sudden start.
CHANGING about hurriedly, he reopened
the safe and took from the pigeon
hole where he had placed them Henry
Somers' letters! Holding one Of the
sheets to the light alongside sheet

feelingly.
