Charlie Wilson had expended a great deal of thought on the most important factor in the great land case of Arnold vs. Sharp, the missing deed to the im mense tract of Western land, and for the past month he had spent his idle moments visiting junk-stores, in the hope of somewhere running across the parchment. j In the course of his search he had overhauled tons of old paper, but so far he could discover not the sjightest trace of the missing document, and hundreds . of others who had been tempted by the large reward offered for its discovery, were equally : unsuc cessful. ... . To-day he thought more about the deed than he djd of Coke -and Black- stone, and was so restless and pre-ocr cupied .'that' when- the 'clock struck three he laid aside his books and. left the office. Mrs. Bevan and her pretty daughter lived in an old farm-house in the suburbs. , . Madge was employed as a copyist in a big Market Street publishing house, and she usually finished her day's work at 4 o'clock. Until that hour, Charlie paced slow ly up and down the sidewalk in front of the tall building where she worked. They walked home together, and Charlie, of course, spoke of the miss- ng deed. They amused themselves with dis cussing what they would do with the reward, supposing they should find the important document, and were yer now, and every year his wlfesendslof GaWftld.' rcisia - . !

One glance convinced them that their student had secured the Ion g jost deed, and the good news was, tel egraphed to their . client, who lived in 'ew York. He came on the next day, and they told him the story. At Its close he drew a cheque for five thousand dollars, payable to Charlie's order, and the following week Charlie and Madge were married. : . Mr. Arnold won his suit,' and one day paid a visit to the bid homestead where Mr. and Mrs.' Wilson and . Mrsi Bevan still lived.

"Madge," she finally managed to say, "the rest of the jars are in the cellar, on the swinging shelf." Charlie dashed down the cellar stairs. and there, on a shelf in the middle of the cellar, were two-dozen jelly-jars, lacking one, each with a piece of parch ment tied over it for a coyer Take them up stairsl" he ordered to Mrs. Bevan and Madge, who had followed him. And he gathered up as many of the jars as he cauld carry. When they were placed on . the table he removed the covers. It was an anxious moment and his hand trembled as he fitted the bits to gether. At last the thing took definite shape. Xotaline was wanting. A few of the and whereases" and pro vided alsos" were a trifle sticky, and a few of the words had lost a letter or two; but the main points were all there, and Charlie Wilson fairly danced with glee.
