He gave orders that the Common Man

discharge a faithful clerk because he voted

glar was as geed as his word, and at two

found it,
Se far all was simple and straightfor
ward enough. But new comes the curious
and incredible part of my story.
The fifty-pound note was part of the pro
ceeds of a previous burglary. The number
of the note was known, and traced te old
Reginald, who had te account for its being
in jii possession.
New the twelve burglars had in the
meantime been arrested by the police (this
also is incredible), and were condemned te
penal servitude for life.
Se Old Reginald had nn lincifnfinn in
stating the facts as I have stated them.
Ne one believed him, as no one will
me.
Se he appealed te the honest burglar te
corroborate his story.
But the honest burglar, having discov
ered the whole thing, coll'ee-pet, salver and
all, was she commonest electro, was se
shocked at old Reginald's dishonesty, that
net only did he decline te corroborate
his story, but actually, and I think very
properly, identified him as an accomplice.
And old Reginald was also sentenced te
penal servitude, and he and the honest
burglar worked for years together en the
same works, and had many opportunities
of talking the matter ever from its moral,
social ami political point of view.
