 When war stocks were jumping up and down a few weeks ago the brok- craze house in questioR found it's cash was short by sS2,OOO. The counsel for the firm, well known Wall street lawyer. was called into the case The investigate fastened suspicion on the youthful empIoye.S
 The young feIlow-he is scarcely more than a boy-was~ confronted with the evidence and confessed that he had used the firms money. The brokers braced themselves to hear how their money had been lost, but this is what they heard:
 Your money is all safe I have a i pretty good account, too, and it's all velvet
 The youth gave the names of his brokers and when the market open ed the next morning, the employers and their lawyer were on hand. They sold the stocks-1.0 900 Reading and some copper securities-at the open ing prices and after commissions were deducted there was a net profit of $8,5O0. That afternoon there came into the offices of the lawyer a, fearful miss who brought along her handbook. She said the youth had given her sum to bank each week so that when they were married they could furnish an apartment. Later there came to the office the mother and father of the boy who pleaded in tears that he be not prosecuted.

 Amid protestations of regard from the parents and ancee, the lawyer, al busy man, waved them away. They went-aIl but the boy, who fingered, shifting nervously from one foot to another.
 "I don't want your nushy grati-s tude,' said the lawyer. T was easy on you for your parents sake. Now got"
 The young man did not go.
 What do you want?" snapped the lawyer.
 How about that $S,50o proht2's he blurted out.
 ".Now, see here,'' said the lawyer. ''I changed my mind about sending. you to jail. If you are in this office one minute longer I'll change it back again.
 The young man was gone while the lawyer was pulling out his watch.
 The rest of the story is that the lawyer. reported his decision to his clients and told them that he had brought them the $S,5O0 profits be- cause it belonged to them, having been made with their money.
