FeaIty Of Partners,

A member of the NSw York supreme
court, reproving a New York firm of
architects for canceling an agreement,
says: Authorities unanimously agree
that there is scarcely any relation in
life which calls for more absolute good
faith than the relation of partners"
Also. "a purer and more elevated NOR
ality is demanded of partners than the
common morality of the trade" The
meaning is that an individual who
transacts business for himself may
look out solely for himself. while a
partner must never consider his own
advantage apart from that of his as
sociates.

So the Colonel Began to Talk.

in financial troubles. which was pretty
often. he could count upon the assist
ance of Mr.. Tryon, benevolent ancient
man of wealth. Tryon never refused
him money, but didn't hand out as
much as the colonel thought was nee
essary. Mr.. Tryon's mind ran on shil-
lings, while that of the colonel ran on
pounds. In those days, as in our own
times, the man who makes a business
of high wasSail needs large income,
and the colonels embarrassments grew
and multiplied. He realized that a
good haul was necessary to get him out
of his difficulties. The idea OF robbing
Mr.. Tryon at once occurred to him. OF
course it was rather mean to pillage
man who had befriended him SO
much, but no good business man allows
sentiment to interfere with commerce.
So it happened that on the night of
January s, Mr.. Tryon woke from a
deep dream of peace to find a huge
masked figure bending over his bed.
The figure held lanthorn in one hand,
and horse pistol, about the size Of n
hitching post. in the other. While this
intruder stood guard, a second robber
bound the old man cruelty and gagged
him. He was trussed up SO tight he
had great difficulty in breathing.
Leaving him in this shape. the maraud-
ers ransacked the premises and carried
away $1,000 in money. and Jewelry to
the value of $4,000. After two or
three hours of misery, Mr.. Tryon man
aged to free himself of the gag, and
yelled so shrilly that the night
watch came to his relief.
The robbery remained mystery for
about twenty-four hours. 1t happened
that Mr.. Tryon had friend. an alder
man, who was fond of sleuthing, and
this alderman soon traced the crime to
Turner, and recovered the money and
Jewels where that gallant warrior had
hidden them. And as Pepys intimated.
the robbery was the talk of the town,
and continued to be for many long
day. 1t was one of the first important
burglaries in the criminal annals OF
England.

Col. James Turner was the sort of

gambler and spent his evenings in the
inns, where he kept the varlets busy
drawing sack. In his day he had been
a mighty soldier and had demopstrat-
ed that he was brave man upon sew
eral fields. He had made a hit with
King Charles, too, for he was man
after the kings own heart. He was
humorous and jovial, and had no re-
spect whatever for the moral law.
