Uncle Leonard watched the small
teacher and her renowned scholars.
Lord Tennyson will please recite his
New Years poem, beginning:
"'Rlng out, wild bells, to the wild
sky"
Whereupon Rosetta selected book
from the pile, and keeping her finger
in the place, recited the lines with
very little hesitation.
"Well donew praised her uncle.
"Thank you,' said Rosetta, blush
ing.
The next card bore the face of Alex
ander Pope, and the teacher said:
"Ar. Pope; you may recite two lines
from your Essay on Man." and again
Rosetta spoke for her pupil:
"'Honor and shame from no condition
rise;
Act well your part, there all the hon.
or lies"
Then she turned to her uncle with
a smile.
Il can't understand much of his" she
explained; 'but seeing our names are
the same, | thought I'd have to put
him in somewhere, and he's learned
those lines so well, he stays up near
the head"
Uncle Leonard burst out laughing,
but was checked by Rosetta's warning
finger.
"Mr. Cowper, please give us the first
and last verses of John Gilpin.'"
Rosetta began bravely enough:
"'John Gilpin was citizen
OF credit and renown;
Silently she puckered her forehead,
| and then said, in voice supposed to
| be stern:
"Mr. Cowper, you may so to the
foot!' adding to her uncle, Il never
can remember that, but | like it,"
"And how often do you have this
sort of thing?" asked Uncle Leonard.
"Oh, whenever | get lonesome. l
guess I'd rather have you talk to me
| now" and with one sweep of the hand
she gathered her famous pupils into
pack, and tossed it on the table.
"Tell me about Cousin Maud,
pleasew she coaxed.
zone thing about her is that she is
| lonely most of the time, we live so far
from neighbors. l think I'll buy set
of Authors on my way home, and tell
her about this school of yours"
"Oh. dor' cried Rosetta. "And then
| when she comes down here next sum-
mer we can play it together. Mamma
likes it, because she says it teaches
me so much
II should say so! l shall have to
coach Maud at first; she doesn't know
| one author from another"

BIG THEFT WAS RESULT OF BET.
Mystery Of Robbery of $35e,ooo in Sc
curities Is Cleared Up.

New York, Oct. 4.-By the confes-
sion of Henry A. Leonard, young
clerk in the employ of Halle & Stieg
litz, brokers at 80 Broad street, the
mystery of the robbery on Wednesday
last of $359,000 worth of securities
from the National City bank was
cleared up yesterday. Leonard, who
lives with his parents at $50 East
136th street, was arrested Sunday and
kept in close confinement while the
detectives continued their search for
the missing securities. every dollar of
which was recovered yesterday.
The prisoner, who is only twenty
four years DID, and who has previous
ly borne the reputation of an indus
trious and thoroughly reliable clerk,
made the astounding statement
In His Confession
that he had planned and carried out
his scheme of forgery and robbery,
not from any criminal motive, but
solely to show by what a simple de-
vice the elaborate safeguards of New
York banks could be set at naught.
That this statement is true is in a
measure corroborated by the facts in
the case and is the belief of the young
mans employers, by whom he was
highly esteemed.
Soon after the theft Leonard mailed
a package containing 100000 in Sc
curities to the residence of Dyer
Pearl, senior member Of the firm of
Pearl & Co., by whom they were
owned. The package was received by
Mr.. Pearl Sunday. Yesterday Leon
ards father turned over to the police
the remaining $50 900 in stocks and
bonds. which he said had been
Found in a Wardrobe
in his house, where his son had said
after arrest, he had secreted them.
The first clue that led to Leonard's
arrest was obtained when the detec-
tives traced the rubber stampmaker
whom Leonard had employed to make
the imitation certification stamp used
in the check he presented at the Ma
tional City bank. AS a model for the
stamp he gave the maker an old certi-
fed check bearing a fragment of the
signature of Halle & Stieglitz and also
a memorandum in his own hand which
was identified by his fellow clerks.
Leonard was held in the Tombs po-
lice court in $4,000 bail for further
examination. On leaving the court
room on his way to the prison he said
in answer to question::
II did it on a bet."

assured that he had already done so
