Ami the yinilli who had been addressed by his coiiiinnioii us Marshall, look mil his porke'.-lmok 11 ml pill the bank nolo carefully ii it by tin: side of one of the fame denomination (hat was already ileposiicil there. Archie Marshall ami Kilvvard Frank lin were fcllovv-cleiks in tbo large wholesale lioiiscof Zimmerman & Co., ami being about the same age, ami formerly schoolmates, were very inti mate, both in ami out of their busi ness associations Marshall lived with bis parents, ami Frank. in was an orphan, but bold were boys of excellent character, tunl served their employers faithfully: jet, while Archie was economical in his liabils, Fdward was just the reverse, mill spent bis wages freely. This ex plained the request made of bis frieml. While the two boy, were talking uboul III,' money, Mr. Zimmerman, the senior partner of the linn, paed liy on bis way to the counting; room, and scanned thciu closely as be noticed the transferor the money to Marshal's pocketbook. A few moments later, an errand boy told Marshall that Mr. Ziinmerinsn would like to see him in the counting room. Dropping bis work, Hie young clerk proceeded lit once to see bis employer, wonderment t ho slrango summons; for he bail never bad one of the kind before. lie found Mr. Zimmerman alone in li is private olli-c, and look ing; unusual ly severe and M-iion. As A lehio knocked at the door, the merchant without looking-up, told him to eome in and be seated. After u few inoments silence, Mr. Zimmerman looked up. "Marshall," said he, "I'm a plain spoken man and will not beat about the bush hi all. We have lately been missing small Minis el' money from the rash drawer, and, while I am loathe to suspect j 011, I would like to examine that five-dollar bill which you have iu your pocket." 'Certainly, Mr. Zimmerman," re plied Archie, promptly handing hi.-, employer bis pocket-book; "but, ex cuse me, sir, I don't think I ijuilo understand you, sir," bo c intituled with hesitation. Mr. Zimmerman looked at the frank face of his young employe a moment, and said, with equal hesitation: 'Well, Mar-ball, it is jti.-t this. As 1 told J 011 before, w e have been miss. ing money, and look the precaution to mark some bills iih a private mark iu the cll'ml lo trace the polity person. A' 1 passed you iu the store n little while ago, I saw Franklin give you what I thought I recognized as one of those marked notes. Ah! here it is now!" coiiliiiued the me chant : 'and here is the ma; k !" Savin:; Ibis, he drew forth tin note which Franklin had given Marshall, and pointed lo an "X" iu one corner, which had apparently been made in red ink w'lh a quill pen. 'And here is another !" be ex claimed a moment later, as lie dis closed the ot .it Hole belonging to Marshall, which also bore the guilty mark. The young clerk vas too much shocked and sin prised, for a lime, lo make any answer. His face flushed and paled by turns, but it was not wilh emotions of puilt or fear; and be looked squarely into the men-haul's face as be strove to collect bis scat tered thoughts. "I i aunot imagine how tills can be, Mr. Zimmerman," he finally gasped. "Tbi lii'sl note you saw belong lo Franklin, and the other I got as part of last week' salary. Franklin can not save money, and he asked mo to keep his live dollars for him." "I am very sorry, Marshall," re sponded the merchant, "but tin: proof is loo plain. Your resignations w ill be accepted, to take ollect at once. Of course it will be impnssjl le to keep you or Franklin longer in our employ after this evidence of guilt on your part." "Hut vou will allow me to call Kd waril, will you not, Mr. Zimmerman?" pleaded the young clerk. "Oh, yes," replied bis employer; but I cannot see what possible good that can do." "He. eau tell where be got bis note," explained Marshall. When Franklin entered the ollice, iu response to the summons, his fellow clerk asked him : "Where did you get that live dollar bill you gave mo to keep for you, Fdward i" "It was a portion ot my last week's salary," replied Frank, al n loss to understand the query. "There in some terrible mistake about this, Mr. Zimmerman," pro tested Archie. "I never stole any thing iu my life; and I certainly would not begin now, when I have everything than I need and am gelling well paid for my work. You bear Fdward say be got bis note in bis salary, and that is where I got mine." "That will do, Marshall," said the merchant coldly. "You and Franklin will hand in your resignations imme diately. could make it g i a great deal harder wilh you, but I hope, this will serve as a salutary lesson lo you in lln' future. On this account, and in eoiisideiaiion of your youth, I feel disposed to be lenient toward you.'' Archil; turned about w ith flaming checks mill li-cinhlilii' litis, .mil was in ! the act of leaving the ollice with his fellow-clerk when Mr. Ford, the junior partner, came in. "Halloo, Mar-hall? what is Iho trouble?" Mr. Ford asked, noticing Archie's iinu-ual appearance. It was as in;. eli as the young clerk could do to keep b ck the teal's as he answered, falleringly : "Mr. Zimmerman has accused Franklin and me of stealing, ami wu are ill-charged without an opportunity of s 'lf-defense." "How is tha', Zimmerman?" i.sked ! the junior partner. "Simply this, Ford; both of them had marked notes iu their possession, and acknowledged them to be theirs." "Let me see the notes," said Mr. Ford. Mr. Zimmerman handed him the marked bills, and be examined them very closely. "I don't know, Zimmerman," be said, "those crosses look dull and blurred, as though limy were part of Hie notes. IVrhaps they are al engraved iu this way. "No they are not, rejoined bis part ner angrily. "Look at these," and taking a roll of bank-notes out of his pocket, he threw l wo live dollar bills carelessly over lo bis p inner. Mr. Ford scanned lb for a mo ment, and then laughed heartily. "Why Zimmerman," said he, "these, are (he very notes we marked." "What!" cried the merchant, "they are the same?" Ye; and thee of Marshall and Franklin are merely impressions of them. You know I told you to use the nlotting pad when you were mark ing thorn, and you said it was not ncc-es-ary, the ink would soon dry! It did led dry and the roiiseiueneo was that the imprint was left on the notes you put on top of them." I really believe you are right," nc knowlepeil the senior partner, exam ining the four noes iu liiru. "I recollect mixing Ihe marked notes wilh others of the -ame denomination, and 1 1 u I tin lliein all in the cash drawer log"! her.

One hot summer day I chanced to spy fro'ii my study window a huge dog ilipnriiug himself w ith provoking coolness on my law n in the shade of an evergreen. Hushing iu hot haste lo my study clo-ct and snatching up a hearth brush. stole softly along the front porch, where, concealed partly by clu-tei ing hies nf honeysuckle, I took aim and hurled it full at the tres passer's head. I had counted emili denlly on seeing him trrrilied by the projectile al d taking himself oil' wilh a bowl of pain ami alarm, liul judge of my su prise to see ihe unsurprised brute take tirt a perfectly quiet and leisurely survey of I be missile, then ib'libei ately pick it up with his teeth and trot complacently nil' wilh my brush. Meel ing the same dog on the street later in th day, I could not help think ing from his knowing look, though h) carried a sober face that le was in wardly laughing al me. Ami then it all at once flashed upon me what good slead this dog's philosophy might do superior beings, and what a world of vexation we might save ourselves if we would but carry away and bury out of sight forever the weapoi s of detraction hurled at us by Ihe- hidden hands of envy and hate. , lur Animal Friends.
