Vienna is suffering from too many
pigeons, and the authorities are at a
loss to know what to do to mitigate
the nuisance. The birds, which mum
Der some thousands, have a privileged
existence; no body molests them in
any way, so that they flourish and in.
crease rapidly.
Recently so many complaints have
been received from house owners OF
the dirty condition of the facades OF
buildings caused by the pigeons, that
The Vienna magistracy decided some
thing must be done to reduce the num-
Der. In their perplexity the magks-
tracy appealed to the Vienna Society
for the Protection. Of Animals to aid
them in a legal slaughter of the of
Tending birds, always having regard,
however, to the provisions OF the new
birds protection law.
The society answered h a 1t would
,be hardly consistent with the princi-

engage in a massacre Of pigeons n
therefore they must reject the official
appeal.
The magistracy are now wrestling
with the problem alone. Perhaps the
unemployed of Vienna might help
them.

CHAPTER Y.

Wheaton had not long been an officer
of the bank before he began to BE- aware
that there was considerable mystery
about Portcr's outside transactions. por-
ter occasionally pernsed with much in
tercst several small memorandum books
which he kept carefully locked in his
desk. The president often wrote letters
with his own haud and copied them him
self after bank hours, in a private letter
book. Wheaton was naturally curious as
to what these outside interests might be.
1t had piqued him to find that while he
was cashier of the band he was not con-
suited in its larger transactions and
that of Porter's personal affairs he knew
nothing.
One afternoon shortly after Porter'S re
turn from the East, Wheaton, who was
waiting for some letters to sign. picked
up n bundle of checks from the desk Of
one of the individual bookkeepers. They
were Pointers personal checks which had
that day been paid and were now being
charged to his private account. Wheaton
turned them over mechanically it was
not very long since he had been an indi.
viduai ~bookkeeper himself he had en-
tered innumerable checks bearing Porter's
name without giving them a thought. AS
the slips Of paper passed through his fin
GERS, he accounted for them in one way
or another and put them back on the
desk, face down, rs q man always does
who has been trained as Il bank clerk.
1Rhe lSSt of lcm he held and studied.
Il was a check made payable to Peek
ham, Fanton's clerk. Tho amount was

as a paynAt for services; Tor Peckham
was an elderly failure at the law who
ran err7nds To the courts for Fenton and
sometimes took charge of small collection
matters for the bank.
A few days later, in the course of bust
ness. no asked Porter what disposition
he should MAKE of an application for a
loan from a country customer. Porter
rang for the past correspondence with
their client. and threw several letters to
Wheaton for his information. Wheaton
read them and called the stenographer to
dictate the answer which Porter had in
dicste ted should he made. He held tn"
Cheats last letter in Iris baud. and in
concluding turned it over into the wire
basket which stood on his desk. AS i:
fell face ~downwards his eye caught sou"
figures ON tho back, aud he picked it up
tbinkin: that they might relate to the
letter. The memorandum was in Por-
ter's lauGe, uneven hand and read:
