AT LAST-A TRUTHFUL MAN!

A Boston physician tells of a pr. Reed who in his time was one of the prominent medicos of the Hub. His large practice included many pa tients outside the city limits, and these he visited in his buggy.
 one day pr. Reed bought a new horse with which he was much pleased until he discovered that the animal had an insurmOuntable ob- lection to- bridges of all kinds, and could not be made to cross one.
 Inasmuch as at that period it was necessary to cross certain bridges in order to reach any one of the sur rounding towns. the doctor decided to sell the horse. He did not think it necessary to mention the animals peculiarity, but was much too honest to misrepresent him. and after some thought produced the following ad- vertisement which he inserted in a local paper:
 "For Sale-A bay horse warranted sound and kind. The only reason for selling is because the owner is obliged to leave Boston"

There was trouble in the Foliansbee
family. A young woman had been In
troduced TO teach the younger children
and Ned Follansbee, the eldest. son.
had fallen in love with her. But this
was only part Of the difficulty. Ger
tain Jewels belonging TO Mrs. Follans-
bee were missing. They had not all
disappeared at once, but one at time.
This indicated that they were being
taken by some one within the house
Mr.. Follansbee had talk with his
son Ned about the matter and accused
Miss Winters, the governess- Ned IN
dignantly denied the charge on behalf
Of the girl. He did not make scene
for he realized that since Miss Winters
was suspected she must be exculpated.
After the first not words between ia
Their and son it was agreed between
them that neither should say anything
about her being suspected
This conversation occurred after
valuable bracelet had been missed from
safe built into the wall for the stor-
age of silver plate and jewels The
only persons in the house who had ac-
cess to the key of the safe were Mr..
and Mrs. Foiiansbee. Mr.. Follansbee
was nervous man and occupied
sleeping room by himself When the
Jewels began 10 disappear he was
keeping che key and suspected that
some one had stolen it from his room
when he was asleep, for he put 1t I'M
der his pillow with his watch every
night when he went to bed.
II was agreed between the father and
son that they should watch alternate
nights for awhile with a view TO solv-
ing the mystery; but, finding this more
wearisone than dividing the night be-
tween them. they changed to the latter
plan. Mr. Follansbee watched from
bedtime till 2 in the morning and Ned
from TIL daylight
Meanwhile they were both very care
full to conceal their vigils from the
rest of the family, especially Miss
Winters. Ned had perfect confidence
in her innocence and had no difficulty |
in treating her as he had always done. |
AS for Mr.. Follansbee, he saw very |
little of her, and there seemed to be |
no occasion for his betraying his sus- |
picions.
There were several servants in the |
bouse-a cook, a housemaid and |
chauffeur. Ned suspected the house

Of the house at all times. He had ev-
cry confidence that by careful watch

she had taken away wax impression

We erst bought goods OF Teutons made

And found them satisfactory, in many

We've got good goods from Amster-

Are far, far better than they sound,
which is much like an oath.
We've taken toll of Slams wares, and

From Greenland's icy mountains and

We've purchased wines from far To-

And products of the artisans who

And from the cline of midnight suns
and happy, smiling lands,
And deserts bare where camels crawl
across the burning sands.
We know the goods of all the world,
wherever trod by man,
From Russia's endless wastes of snow
TO temples of Japan.
Each nation proudly brands its wares,
ere cross the seas they go;
In letters bold the legend states Tis
