THE CAT AND THE MOUSE.

"a down the garden path. Per
~ haps he was looking for the
moon. But the moon was hidden be-
hind the barn.
Buzz, the cat, was sitting beneath a
currant bush. When the mouse came
by he bounced upon him.
"Ah, my fine feilow!' he purred, 81
will eat you in a gray coat this time!'
Then he climbed to the roof of the
she'd, and took the wise cid mouse with
him.
The mouse began a little. peeping
song.
why do you sing?" mewed the cat,
putting him down on the roof, with one
paw upon his back.

Happy to have you sing with me-"
This pleased Buzz, who was vain. He
stretched up his neck. as IL to look
over the barn at the moon. and began
10 sing.
The wise mouse peeped softly. but
the cat was fond Of his own voice, and
sang with all his might.
Then he took his paw from the mouse
to beat time.
When the tune was one Buzz looked
down and saw only a hole in the roof.

of it a in this way:
"A desperate attempt at robbery, cul-
minating in the death of one man and
the capture of the criminal. occurred
this afternoon in this city. For some
time back Mawson & Williams, the
famous financial house, have been the
guardians of securities which amount
in the aggregate to a sum of considera-
bly, over a million sterling. So con-
| scious was the manager of the respon-

consequence of the great interests at
stake that safes of the very latest con

armed Waterman has been left day and
night in the building. 1t appears that
last week a new clerk named Hall
Pycroft was engaged by the firm. This
person appears to have been none other
than Beddington, the famous forger
and craftsman, who. with his brother,
has only recently emerged from a five
years spell of penal servitude. BY
some means, which are not yet clear,
he succeeded in winning, under a false
name, this official position in the office,
which he utilized in order to obtain
mouldings of various locks, and a thor

strong room and the safes.

clerks to leave at midday on Saturday.

that a daring and gigantic robbery had
been committed. Nearly a hundred
thousand pounds worth of American
railway bonds, with a large amount of
scrip in mines and other companies,
was discovered in the bag. On exam
lining the premises the body of the
unfortunate Waterman was found
doubled up and thrust into the largest
of the safes, where it would not have

SYNOPSIS.

Sherlock Holmes and his %chronicler,
DIR. Watson, are called in by Hall Py-
croft, a Stockholders clerk, who tells
them that, having lost his position
through the failure of his firm, he has
secured another with Mawsop & Will
Jams. Before starting in he tells or
being approached by Arthur Primer
financial agent, who praises Pycrofts
business ability and offers him a job as
manager of the Franco-Midland Hard
a Company. Limited, at a larger
salary than offered by Mawson & VIII
Jams. Pycroft recites 10Y he mao
promised to meet Primers brother Sc
that details could be arranged.
Upon visiting the brother ne tells
how he discovered it was no other thar
Arthur Primer himself, disguised by
being shaven and wearing a wig. lie
recites how he looked through a direc-
tory to secure names for the man and
then decided all was not straight.
Holmes and Watson accompany him to
see Primer, and find him in his office,

position was therefore secnre, as [

mot a SOUL groaned Hall Pyeroft.
Every good. Of course it was of the
utmost Importance to prevent you from
thinking better Of it. and also to keep
you from coming into contact with any
one who might tell you that your
double was at work in Mawson's office.
Therefore they gave you a handsome
advance on your salary. Inc ran you
off to the Midlands, where they gave
you enough work to do to prevent your
going to London. where o might
have burst their little game up. That
is all plain enough"
But why should this man pretend
to be his own brother?"
1"Well, that is pretty clear also. There
are evidently only two of them in it.
The other is personating you at the
office. This n acted as your en-
eager, and then found that he could
not find you an employer without adj
hitting a third person into his plot.
That he Ia most unwilling to do. He
changed his appearance as far as he
could, and trusted that the likeness,
which you could not fail to observe,
would be put down to a family resem-
blance. But for the happy chance of
the gold stuffing, YOU suspicious would
probably never have been aroused"
Hall Pycroft shook his clinched hands
in the air. Good Lord!' he cried,
while I have been fooled in this way.
