cred, and il soon became certain that the
sum missing would be large.
The firms head was notified and the
young bookkeeper was confronted with the
situation. He confessed that he had used
about $4,000 Of the firms money, but re-
quested permission to communicate with
his family before any further steps were
taken.
His fami ly and his hancee live in Buda-

summoned the young man to attend. He
secured permission TO go, but on the same

the earnest desire Of all that the trouble
should be kept secret. The young mans
father and prospective father-in-law made
up the shortage and forgave the young
man. Not to be outdone, the head Of the
