The next afternoon a summons came
for Johnnie to go to the Office of his
employer. Eben Huyser. The young
accountant noticed from his chiefs ex-
wind. and the first words confirmed
his surmise
"What have you done with the
money you have taken?'
Half an hour later, after a vain at

boy, Huyser sent out for policeman

At once it occurred to him that Coulter

had no difficulty in convincing him of
her husbands innocence. She conceiv-
ed plan of liberating her husband
by taking his place, he escaping in her
clothes. In order to do this she re-
quired Johns assistance. At the crit
ical moment he must attract the
warden's attention by pretending to
have become ILL., John consented, the
scheme was successful, and the pris-
oner, Thomas Nolan, got away. Mrs.
Nolan was very grateful to John and
offered to assist him in an effort for
his escape. But John declined to do
anything that would look like a con-
fession Of guilt
One day John was released. On in
quiry he learned that Coulter had
made good the money the assistant
was charged with having stolen and
had been admitted as a member Of
the firm. 1t was at his request that
John had been. released The boy
found his mother in a pitiful condition.
And, worst Of all, after the charge that
had been brought against him there
was little hope of his procuring posi-

who had heard of his release, came to

Many years ago when New York
was comparatively small town, two
men were at work over set of COM
mercial books in the Office of a small
store in Canal street. The older was
man of forty, the younger a boy of
nineteen
"Mr. Coulter" said the younger, II
can't make this trial balance come out
right-will you help me?"
Coulter turned a crafty face toward
his assistant. An idea seemed to be
crystallizing in his brain. Then, leav-
ing his books he walked over to where
Johnnie Brainard sat on his high stool
and began work on the trial balance.
An hour later it was finished, a very
beautiful statement of red and black
ink
What good man you are, Mr..
Coulter" said Johnny. 81 could never
have done it without your help"
The other. making no reply. turned
away and resumed his work on his
own books. But the boy noticed that
his hand trembled

support Of his mother, a widow, and
several brothers and sisters all much
