The Stolen Bills
The bank of Messrs. Gerald, Gerald &Co.,
city, bad extensive dealings.with the bank
of H. Derive!, Frankford. One morning,
direct-from Frankford, came among other
correspondence, the following, just in the or
dinary characters, and bearing all the marks
of the other letters by the same mail, only
this was later in date, and appeared to have
been written on the steamer.
"Gmsrt.rxEN—A clerk of oor establish
ment lies absconded, bearing bills and notes
to the value of four thousand pounds. We
have traced him, by unfrequented routes, to
Boulogne, where be embarked for England.
"He is a nephew to the principal, who is
in the greatest consternation, and his char
acter was hitherto unimpeachable. As it is
probable he will immediately seek to change
his bills into cash, so far as he can, (though
many are valueless anywhere but here) use
no delay-in seeking fur him. He is sure to
come direct to London beyond this. You
will know best the most likely place to find
him, and I am instructed to say you may pay
him four hundred pounds if ho will deliver
the bills into your hands and go to Austra
lia, M. Dorival will not hear of a prosecu
tion, if it is possible to obtain the papers by
other means; but if you find him, and be will
not deliver them entire, according to the
list sent herewith, he is to be given into
custody.
"His name is Jules Dorival, and he is five
feet seven inches high, of fait• complexion,
light curly hair, nod a handsome moustache
of the same color. He will probably have
shaved this off, and otherwise have disguised
himself, but there is a large brown egg
shaped mole immediately below the left ear,
which cannot be hidden, and by this you
may be sure to recognize him. He also slut
ters slightly when excited, but otherwise
speaks good English.
"Use all speed, and should you be fortu
nate enough to obtain the papers, forward
them without a mail's delay, as they are of
greatest importance. Yours, pro M Dorival,
"A. Leone."
And here followed a concise list of miss
log hills of every denomination. Acting
urn the advice contained herein, the
Messrs. Gerald instituted inquiries every
where; but they were utterly fruitless.
Nothing could be heard of a man answering
the description.
A week had elapsed, and nothing learned
of him. The elder Gerald was on 'Change
and sulking to a junior partner of the bank,
when his attention was attracted by the
rather singular conduct of a stranger, who,
after addressing a number of members in a
most un-English way, was sauntering up
and down, apparently very well pleased with
his own personal appearance thorn. Mr.
Gerald fixed his eye upon him, and purpose
ly, thought as it -were by accident, passed
him. Ile had no moustache, nor could he
observe signs of the mule mentioned; but in
other respects be anewered exactly the de
scription given. In passing him again be
purposely stumbled against him.
"Beg pardon, sir," said ho.
"G
-g-ranted sir; I think the fault woe
mine," was the reply, as Mr. Gerald moved
away.
"It's the man," he said to his companion,
when they were out of hearing. "Keep
your eye upon him till we near the gate, and
then leave me, and taken detective to my
chambers at the bank and keep him in the
inner room, unless I ring the boll. Ido not
like this in Dorival, and he ought to be
prosecuted. Personal feelings should be
subservient to the public duties where the
justice and well being of the world is con
cerned."
"We can't afford to loss Dorival's busi
iness," said the junior, with a keen eye to
profits.;
"I know," was the rejoinder, "and shall
act as desired; but Ido not like it. Here
ho is again. Now, use speed, and I will de
vise some means of bringing him." Then
ho added, aloud, "Good morning."
"I trust I did not hurt Mons—you, sir,"
said the stranger, opening a conversation
Mr. Gerald was puzzling himself to find a
pretest for, and sauntering up - with a
simper.
"Not in the least," said Mr. Gerald, nod
ding, and changing his side from right to
left, ostensibly for the purpose of speaking
to some one, but in reality the better to ob
serve Lie companion and 13ok far the mole.
The hair was so arranged as to hide the left
ear and part of the cheek."
There were many speculations as to Ger
ald's intercourse with a stranger whom halt
the members present had been ridiculing,
and whose appearance there at all was an
enigma; but still that gentleman walked up
and down by his side, endeavoring to discov
er the sign which would provo his identity.
The wind freshened, and "It's an iliwind
that blows nobody any good;" so, after turn
ing over a few bats, and leading their own
ers some pretty games at '•Follow my lead
er," or, rather, "my bat," the friendly wind
lifted the tuft from Jules Dorivare cheek,
and displayed the egg-shaped moie,•to the
entire satisfaction of Mr. Gerald. Again
the stranger relieved him of introducing a
difficult matter.
"I have some Frantford bills I want dis
counted," said Jules, blushing up to his
brow.
"If yen will pill of our ofte• we will look
111,50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; *ZOO IF NOIN ADVANCE'
at them," said Mr. Gerald
"What address?"
"Number twenty-four—. Oh !am going
down, and you can walk with me," Gerald
replied, hurriedly; for he bad nearly betray
ed himself, and of course he would know
and avoid the house Dorival dealt with.
The stranger very readily felt into his
views, and the two walked away together-
But when they reached the door—over which
was written "Gerald, Gerald '.'Co."--he
changed from red to white and back again,
looking round fur a street by which ho
might escape; but there not being one, ho
pleaded a previously forgotten appointment.
Mr. Gerald turned round and said, plant
ing himself before tho path he was starting
on, "Jules Dorival, I must speak with you.
Come in. Don't make a disturbance here."
The person he addressed was evidently as
tonished to find himself known, and entered
reluctantly into the banker's chamber;
where he was still more afraid on observing
the gentleman in whose company he had
just seen Gerald, and who now whispered to
his principal and then left them alone.
"You've made a mistake, sir," stammered
the duped clerk; "my name's not Dorival."
'•Your name is Jules DJrival, late of the
Frankfurt &wk. Here is a description of
ytur appearance. Have you not an egg
shaped mole below the left car? There it
is," amid Gerald, railing the hair at the
wondering ex-clerk; "arid here ii a list of
the bills you desire me to discount. Is it
not au?"
The stern unflinching manner of his accu
ser, the suddenness of the charge, and in
guilty conbcience were too much; and after
a feeble attempt to etatnmer out a denial,
was interrupted by Mr. Gerald's taking up
a bell and adding:
"I have but to ring this, and an officer of
justice will appear."
Jules Dorival admitted all, and produced
the tnibsing documents, pleading for mercy.
When ho had delivered them all (and
there were more than the advertised num
ber) the banker added:
"It is well for you that I have not the
absolute power of showing or withholding
mercy from you; and it is little credit to the
house of Dorival that you are to go at large.
Are you willing to go to Australia?"
"I will go 'anywhere to hide my dis.
grace."
"Then be ready by to-morrow, and, by
your too lenient, unjust uncle's command,
which it dues not suit me to disobey, you
will go free, and with (Cr hundred pounds.
But if you are found hire longer than neces
sary fur an outfit, you will yet be prosecu
ted. To-morrow, when I have gone through
these hills, present that order at the coon
ter yonder, and you will have the money.
Now Leg one."
Ile was about to reply, but the unwaver
ing, frowning face of Mr. Gerald made him
glad to pass through the open door without
a word.
That night the recovered bills were eont
off to M. Dorival, with an exact account of
the entire affair from Mr. Gerald's own pen,
and a strong reproof against this "mistaken
generosity," as he chose to term it. That
night, too, after bank hours, Mr. Gerald re•
oeived a note, the contents of which were as
follows;
•'Ste—There is a vessel starting for Aus
tralia to-morrow, and by traveling to-night
I moy go with her; therefore, if you can pay
me I will call to-night. Oh believe me it
was my first crime, and I long to hide its
remembrance forever by mingling honorably
in the work of a new world. If you mention
me to my uncle, say that I shall always pray
God to bless him for his kindliness and for
giveness of me, though I feel unworthy of it.
Yours remorsefuly.
"Jut.cs Du RIVAL."
Mr. Gerald dispatched an answer to say
he might have it, and an hour after paid the
sum into his hands. Ile seemed so thor
oughly repentant that Mr. Gerald was in
duced to think less hardly of Gorival's o'er
looking it, and giving him a start in the
world.
By return of mail came back the bills and
a letter of inquiry from Darival. We shall
best explain its import by en extract :
'•We know nothing of these bills—they
are forgeries—and cannot understand your
letter. No clerk of ours has absconded. We
never had one who bore the name of Deri
ve'. You seem to answer a letter we did
not write, and also, we fear, to have paid on
advice of the forged latter the sum of four
hundred. We can only hope it is not so.
Yours. M. DORIVAL."
But it was so. The firm of Gerald, Gerald
4i. Co. had been swindled I

A Washington correspondent of the Chi

here is the . way he describes the animal :
A ring at the door-bell, and a recent:lois
canoe through its grated upper, half by a
stalwart neg - ro, then up a pair of stairs,
through an ante-room, and we stand in the
carpeted, elegant jungles of the modern "ti
ger." There are two wide, lofty rooms, di.
vided by folding doors, both dazzling with
light, softly carpeted, decorated with elegan t
and voluptuous paintings,and seemingly just
the spot where poor tired humanity would
come to get a foretaste of glen, and recu
perate for the stern battles of life. In the
first room is a sideboard, upon whose shelves
are rows of elegant decanters, through which
blushes the purple wine or flalheit' the

moodily watching the game. .

with the most perfect nonchalance, betting
from one to fivo hundred dollars upon,bis
