The letter was not signed, and there
was nothing to indicate from whom t
had been sent. Mr.. SPARKLING knit his
brows The writer had either been un-
conscious Of the gross injustice to the
clerk under whose counter she had hid
the stolen articles or had ignored IT,
Tapping a bell he gave directions that
the case be investigated and waited d
report
1t was some time before the report
came in, and when 1t did it was not
calculated TO alleviate the merchants
Indignation. Mabel wainwright was the
clerk who had suffered. She had been
found In d condition Of great distress,
which had been continuous since her
discharge. Her mother had succumbed
to her misfortune. and Mabel was left

SPARKLING directed that she be request

She did 50 with terror, fearing that
the firm had after all determined to
prosecute her for theft and send her to
prison. When one morning she was
usbered into his private Office and the
merchant looked 1t her wan face his
kind heart was overnowing with sym

Mabel was only too glad to be re-
stored, especially on such terms, and
resumed her connection with the firm
the next day
This was not all. Mr.. Sparkline, who
was law unto himself determined
that those belonging to the better class
Of kleptomaniacs should contribute 70
atone for the injustice done this girl.
The way nc contriyed II was this He
directed that bills for various amounts
be sent ID those responsible for them.
He was not required to explain the
matfer, for each person who received
one Of these bills. supposing that the
one for whom he was responsible had
stolen the goods promptly sent a
check. The amount adding largely 10

Original Justice
lorLglnaLl

lOriginall
SPARKLING & Co were the proprietors
Of large dry goods store They lost
50 many articles BY theft that at last
they organized their own detective
force to watch shoplifters, reclaim
goods taken and at times prosecute the
offenders They found that among
those who took things from their coun-
tiers were a number Of kleptomaniaes
that IS, when they are wealthy they
are called kleptomaniacs, but when
they are poor they often have to sui
fer like any other criminal
Mr.. sparkline, the head Of the arm,
was an excellent man. lie had way
OF managing his affairs TO suit himself,
but was very kind hearted and treated
his employees with great deal Of
consideration. He was also very indul-
gent to the kleptomanlaes. They both
cred him a great deal, repeating their
offenses frequently, but he was patient
with them and usually permitted them
or those responsible for them to return
the articles taken when they could not
afford to pay for them and taking pay
when they were perfectly able.
Among SPARKLING & Co.'S employees
was Mabel wainwright, a girl Of eight
cen. She had very sweet face, but a
sad one, for she was the oldest Of sew
eral children. none but herself being OF
an age to earn money, ana her mother
was an invalid and widow, 50 that
Mabel produced about an the family
had to live on. One evening after Ma
bel had gone home one Of the firms
detectives while looking about for
some articles that had been missed
found several pairs of gloves, a dozen
handkerchiefs and some silk stockings
ON shelf under her counter. They
were not covered or tucked away as If
for concealnent. but their being found
where they were told against Mabel.
Mr.. sparkline was away at the time,
and, the case being referred to hts
partner, man who was opposed to
the head Of the firms leniency In such
cases, he discharged Mabel without
any very thorough investigation
Mabel and the case passed into OBJ
livion so far as sparkline & Co were
concerned, and goods continued TO be
sold and stolen as usual TIL three
years had slipped by, then one morn
ing the head Of the firm read a lett II
containing d check that had come in
with the mail.
