There is no date upon that blurred cony of llgures.but If there were you would Ilnd It originated on the night buforo 1 was to bo married , twenty years ago. You nro short of 30 now. i was short of 80 then. You are now In wlint I should then have considered afllucnt circumstances. I am going to glvo you tomorrow our only child and a fourth share In the business of Strang way , Mayfield & Co. , of which I nm the solo Surviving partner , nnd that fourth share ought to bring you 1,000 to 1 , 00 n year. The night that document over the chimney came Into oxlstonco I was accountant to Strangwav < Ss Co. at n salary of 150 pot * annum. " My father-in-law paused nnd knocked the ash oil his cigar. "At that tune , " ho wont on. resuming his story , "tho business of Slrnngwny & Co. was ir LJroad street.Vo had wiro- houses on the ground floor and in the cellars , the ofllco1' were on tlio llrst floor and warehouses Illlcd from over tiio llrst floor to the slates. "Tho olllccs closed at 0 , hut , us I was anxious to put everything In the finest order before starting on my honeymoon , I wns not nblato leave at thut hour. In addition to the bookkeeping I did most of the routine correspondence , and I had some letters to write. When tho.v were finished I shoufd lock up , put the keys in my pocket , lo.tvo them at Mr. Strung- way's house on Clapham Common and go on to my lodgings in Wandsworth , and from my lodgings to my sweetheart Mary's homo , in Wands'vorth , too , "An I w.is working away , writing letters - tors at ino top of my speed , and quite alone in the olllco in the whole house Stephen Giainly , ono of our travelers , rang the boll , and , much to my suroi'lso nnd annoyance , when I opened the front door walked upstairs , following my lo.id through the unllghted passages. I never cared for Stephen Grainly ; no one in the ollico liked him oxcout Mr. Strangway himself , Grainly was an excellent - collont man at his work , but to my taste tuo smooth and good too sweet to bo sound. "What , Mayfield , ' ho cried , 'working away stilll Why , when I saw the light I made suto it must bo Broad wood ( our nsaistant accountant , who was to tuko my nlnco while I was away ) , nnd as I hud a goodihh hit of money I thought I'd bettor bank hero than In my own homo in Iloxton ; I am not satisfied it is stfo to stow yOO in eiisti in my humble home. ' "All right'said I ; 'but I wish you' had cotno earlior. The safest place to bank money is in the bank. ' lip did not know I was going to bo married next day and i was glad of it , for the man always made mo fool uncomfortable , and I uiu not wish him to touch my little romance oven with u word. " 'Bo hero at 4 o'clock ! ' ho cried. My dear follow , I couldn't do it. How could I ? Why , I didn't got to King's Cross until 6:45 : ! Hero you arc. ' Ho produced his pockotbook. 'You needn't glvo mo moro than two minutes. Checks , IIvo hundred and seventy-four , eighteen six. Notes , two hundred and forty-five. Gold , forty-eight. ' "As you miiy fancy , I was in a hurry to get rid of him. lie sootned in no hurt y to go. Ilo sat down , pulled out his hanukorchif and botr.ui wipitig his forohoid , ultnough it was October , and by no means warm. " 'You will initial my book ? ' said ho , and ho handed mo his order book , p irt of which was ruled in money columns , where ho had a list of the money ho hud collected. The whole was 307 , 18a and ( id , nnd for this 1 signed. * 'Have you taken the numbers of the notes ? ' I asked. " 'No , ' said he. "I made a list myself of the numbers on a sheet of paper , and pushed checks , notes and gold up to the Hut , middle part of my desk. I did not want to tnko out any of the account books that night , and when I had linishcd the letters and ho was gone I should put the money in the nafo in the back room. The memo randum of the numbers I should leave with the keys at Clapham , and the whole transaction would bo dealt with by my assistant , Broad wood , in the morning. "Makingout the list had taken a little time , as the notcb were all small and no two In sequence ; they had been col lected for minor accounts Iti the country. "I put my list of notes on the desk beside me , and wont on with my letters , bcvoril of which were flow ready for -ho copying press. "That evening Grainly talked a lot about the business and the news of the day , and all sorts of things. I could not tell him to go away , for he could see I was not myself leaving yet. and copying the letters , putting them to dry , in closing thorn in envelopes and address ing them was not occup ttion for which a man could reasonably claim quiet. "When ray batch of letters were ready , seeing half an hour's work before mo , I hold them out to him nnd said , 'When you are going I should bo obliged if you would post thcso , as I am not nearly finished hoio yet. ' " 'Certainly,1 said ho , taking the hint and rising. " 'Anyone in the place who could show mo out ? All the gas Is turned oil below , and I have never gone down in tlio darkness , ' tuid hu , moving away. " 'There's no ono bat ourselves hnro. I'll show you the way ' I said with alacrity , delighted to got rid of him. "I had led him through the long , dark corridor and half down the stairs , when ho fauddcnly cried out , 'My stick ! I loft my stick above. I won't bo a mln- uto. Muyfiold. Just wait hero for mo , ' "Ho ran upstairs to fetch his stick , nnd wan back with mo in the darkness in a few seconds. " 'I found itall rlgnt , ' said ho ; 'it was just at the uoor. I got it without going mat all. ' "I struck a mutch to llcrht him , and prc&ontly ho was out on the asphalt of Bread street , walking rapidly toward Choapsldo. "When I got back to tlio counting house the chocks were on the flat top of the desk. The gold nnd notes were gone ! "I had taken the numbers of the notes on a sheet of paper , and loft the list on the sloping purl of my desk to dry , before - fore putting it into my pocket , "Tho paper on which I had talc on the numbers of the notes was also gone ! " As my fathor-iii'luw spoke I rose to my foot and t-ippcd the glass over the document lot into tlio oak above the fireplace , saying , "And this is I ho paper with the numbets of the stolen notes on it. " "And that Is not the paper with the number of the stolen notes on'it , " said Jinnee Maylleld , ' 'Fiom the moment I loft the counting hotibo to show Grainly out that night , twenty yearn ago , no ono has ever soon the list I made of the notes. Grainly must have destroyed it the moment ho was out of Bread street. My fathor-in-iaw finished his glass of port and resumed his story : "Hero was I , on the eve of my mar riage , simply ruined.

It was plain no marriage could take place tomorrnw , morning. It was plain my course was to go without the loss ) of n moment vtq Mr. Strnngway nnd toll him what hnd happened. Whether ho would believe mo or not , who could say ? Not I , anyway. Ilo might rea sonably order mo into custody. Very well , if ho did I must not grumble nor feel aggrieved. Our wedding was fixed tor 11 o'clock next morning. By 11 to- monow t might bo in jail , charged with stealing the money or being an uccom- pllco in the robbory. "I locked the otllce , telegraphed to Mary that i had been unexpectedly de layed , jumped into a Irinsora , and drove to Strangway's house in Clapham. "I told the servant to take in word that I wished to see Mr. Strnngway particularly. I suppose Hho hnd hoard about my wedding ; anyway she smiled very knowingly and sikl : 'I hope you'll have line Heather and uood lunlc on your holiday , Mr. M.iyflold ; though it is rnthor hilo in the year to expect line weather. Gracious , Mr. Muyfiold. are you illi" she cried at the end. I dare say my face told tulos. " 'Not III , ' I s ild , 'but very anxious to see Mr. Strnngway nt once , if you ploaso. ' "Sho showed mo Into the library , hur ried oil , and in ti fowsocondsMr. Strung- way entered , smiling. Ho , no doubt , thought my anxiety lo see him was con nected with my marrlugo. ' 'When ho hoird my story ho was grave enough. Two hundrcd'nnd nine ty-throe gone ? " said ho. frowning. " 'Gone , btiid I. ' ' 'And the numbars of the notes gone with the monoyr" said ho , looking mo full in the face with a heavier frown. " 'Not a trace loft of the paper on which I took the numbers. ' " 'Aro you sure no ono but Grainlv could have entered the counting house' ? ' ' 'Perfectly sure. All the doors com municating with the other parts of the house were shut had boon locked for the night. I had not been outside the counting house since luncheon. ' "For a few moments ho reflected. 'Tho awkward part of it , Mayfiold. said ho , 'is that you are to bo married to morrow. Of course your marriage must go on. But I'll tell you what I think would bo bust for you. Suppose you attend the ofiico us usual tomorrow morning ; you could leave for a couple of hours , later , got , the ceremony ever nnd ooino back. ' / " 'Oh ! ' I said , 'with this hanging ever mo ? I half expected to bj locked up to night. But I could not got married until the money is 'found ' , Air. Strang way. ' ( t ' "Found ! Found ! The money can never bo found. W'hy. wo have nothing to go on ! Anyway , I shall not tuico stops tonight. Perhaps-it would bo best to postpone your marriage. Yes , it would not do to many under the circum stances. I am very sorry for you. But ull that can bo done in the interests of justice must bo done. Keep the keys , and bo in Broad 'streot , at the ordinary time in thc-morning. ' " My father-in-law paused hero. Ills cigar was smoked out , but he had not finished his story" . "He did nqt olTor to move and sat still. < A'f tor a few moments ho wont on : "I will bo merciful to you and tell you nothing of the scene at my wife's pluco when I called later. Her father and mother were then living. I told mystery story to all three as 1 have told it to you und all agreed the best thing waste to postpone the marriage for a month. "Well I'm fast I , not getting on as us promised , but I shall not kcop you much longer. "When I reached the ofllco in the morning I had another gobd look around , but nothing whatever was dis covered. I turned the whole place in- sitlo out. Nothing , absolutely nothing , connected with the case turned up until to my iiRtonlslnnent Stephen Giainly walked into the olllco. Until his ap- po'iranco I had , in a dim way , made up my mind that all would bo cleared up and my innocence established by his absconding. His arrival showed that ho meant to braxon the thing out with mo nnd I felt from that moment helpless and paralyzed. " 'Grainly , ' said las soon as I could talk , 'when you ctirao back for your stick lust night did vou notice the money you gave mo on the desk where I put it ? ' " 'No , my dear Muyfiold. I did not cross the threshold of this room. ' " 'You did not see or touch the money as tlio plcco of paper on which I hud taken down the numbers of the notes ? ' " 'No , certainly not. I could riot see your desk from the door , and I was not further than the door. You do not seem well. I eincoroly hope there Is nothing tlio matter. ' " 'Tho rash you brought in last night the 203 has boon btolon , that's all , ' said I. A " 'StSlonl' ho cried , falling back. 'You don't mean to say thut ! ' " 'Aj , and stolen within an hour within half an hour of our being to gether hero lust night. ' " 'I cannot I will not believe such a horrlblo thing. Stolen ! And in the very ollico , too. ' "I never saw boltor noting in all my life than his indignation and horror anil astonishment. I could hardly believe my eyes and cars. I hud spent a sleepless - loss night und was half dazed and wholl y stupid and in despair. Foruwhllo I felt that , after ull , ho might bo innocent- and that I , in a moment of excitement und haste , hud . .placed the money und memorandum in Jomo place of security which I could not jtow recall. "Mr. Strungwny.on reaching the of fice , half un hour tmrlior than his usual tlmo , gave orders for another search. It was quito unavailing. No tale or tidings came of the caso'th.it ' day. "No socrit was mudo of the affair In the olllco , und , at > ( the hours went on I was confident vliut in Mr. Strangway's ' eyes I was the criminal.

"Tho loss of the money 1 could beat * , ' said lio'but the I'.igratltudo 1 will not stand. ' 'This was as ( rood as accusing mo n ( the robbory. Again I wonder Unit I was not moro put out , but I felt ilttto or nothing beyond helpless und numbed. "Before I loft Broad street that evening Orninly sent mo a note bogging me , for my own sake , not to think of ooltlngl 'Bolting , ' Bald ho , 'In a ciso : of this kind would bo t-ikon us tin admission of the very worst. ' "Even this during Impudence did not reuse mo , did not weaken mo ; through the whole tori-iblo nlTiilr I do not think I was oven us much excited as I nm now. "Next day M . Strangway said not n syllable about employing the police , or , Indeed about the affair ntall'nor did ho , as far as I know , take atoua In the mat- tor. On the day following ho made an astonishing ann'ounoomont. Ho called Gralnly und mo into his private olllco , and sum : " 'The present Is the first time In the history of our firm that anything of this kind has occurred that wo have boon robbed from the inside. I have made up my mind not to do anything about It just now. I kcop an onoit mind. Some day wo may ilnd an crxjy explanation of the mjMtory , or it miy never bo cleared up. I accuse no one. i will s.iy no moro of the alTalr until I can olthor put my hand on the man who did it , or toll you both face to face , as you are now , thut 1 have discharged from my mind forever the notion that any man who takes my money as a servant took It also as a thlof. ' "A fortnight after the loss of the money n telegram came for Mr. Strung' way. It was sent Into his private ofllco. Presently ho opened the door and beckoned mo to no In , and wlion I had entered he motioned mo to a chair. " 'Mr. Mayflold , ' said ho. 'I wish at the earliest moment to relieve you of what must have boon a terrible anxiety. The thlof has boon found and is now in custody ! ' Mr. Strungway waved the telegram. 'I have just got the message saying Stephen Giainly , with the bulk of the notes on his person , Is In the hands of the police. Ho was about leav ing this country for Spain , it is sup posed. Ho stole the money a fortnight ago , and stole the list you'had iniido of the numbers of the notes. Knowing the way in which the notes had como into his own hands in the country , ho felt confident they could not bo traooa from their source to him , tiud of course they could not bo traced from him to the Bank of England , as the Hat of numbers was destroyed by him. ' " 'Then how in the world , sir , wore they tracedi" said I. "Mr. Strangway raised the blotting- pad and took from under it a piece of paper , the back of a loiter. " 'Tho news of the robbery cot about. ' said ho , 'and of course all of our custom ers were interested in it , Mr. Young of Horshum among the rest. Mr. Young of Horsham was ono of tlio people you wrote to thut evening , the evening of the robbery , and you sent him moro than you intended. ' " 'Not the mUsing shoot witli the numbers ? I know I couldn't have done that , for I b.iw the memorandum on the slop of my desk after closing his letter and handing it with the others to Grainly. ' " 'No , but you put the memorandum on the slope of your desk with the ink side up , and you copied Mr. Young's letter in the copying press , and while it was damp put it down on the list of notes in iinblotlod copying ink , and the num bers of the notes wore faintly but clearly copied , reversed , of course , on the flyleaf - loaf of Young's letter , and Mr. Young sent the copy back to mo privatolvl Look. ' "Mr. Strangway hamled mo the fly leaf of Younjr's letter , and there wore the numbers of the notes , dim , to bo sure , but not quite as dim there as they nro now under the glass lot Into the oak of the mantel. Grainly had put a few of the notes in circulation , and they had been traced back to him. " 'Ho stole the money , Mayficld , ' said Mr. Strangway to me , 'and he tried to ruin you , or anyway ho wanted to . id- dlo you with the theft , and for a while I more than suspected you. But all is clo ir at last , and I'll pay you hand somely ono day for susnucling you. ' "And so lie did , " said my fathcr-ln- law. "Ho lent mo the money to buy a partnership in the Ilrm , and I nm the linn all to myself now and shall bo until the now partner comes in tomor row. " lie rose and shook mo by the hand and tapped moon the bhouldor , saying ; "Your partner for life will be wonder ing what has kept you. Hun away to Kate now , my boy. " THE EMPEROK'S HAREM.
