AN UNGRAClOUS ACT.

A good story is going the rounds at
man, of Bel Air. "a kinder gentleman
never trod the earth" than he, whom we
shall designate as Mr.. A. for convenience.
Not long ago while driving down the
Churchville road. he came up to a foot
traveller, who looking rather worn and
weary appealed to his sympathy. Mr..
A. promptly drew up rein and asked the
man to take a ride. He at once engaged
him in a pleasing conversation and being
good raconteur soon had his guest
very much interested by telling him a
number of delightful stories.
But all good things must come to an
end and about this time, the stranger
discovered that his pocketbook was
missing Mr.. A exhibited genuine in
terest in trying to help him find it, and
urged that he search all of his pockets
| AS the missing wallet was not forth
coming the stranger became suspicious
and suggested that Mr.. A had better
follow suit This was carrying the joke
a little too far and created very en-
barrassing position. The man perhap:
did know that he was being accommodate
eddy an angel unawares and on polite re
fusal, creased his insistence. The affair
was terminated in rather an ungraciou:
way in having our Nh. A accused o
being a pickpocket after which eacl
