I wait a green i baud, but i fi:iu ri;- ?n io me degree 01 r 'plain cloth i*,' nr- i was beginning to f Ket u reputation *'ith the department fc and tbe newspapers wheu the Kauf- h uian case came up and put me to the d bad for kee|m, especially with the L police reporter*. "Old man K'.ufman was cashier of o the Dexter Nat onai Bunk and lived u in Cedar Grove, a Nubr.d chiefly noted e for "exclusive aociei/." Half the pop- b ulatlou kept poor trying to cut a wide o *ocial swath, und the other half lived <t in misery from envying their neigh- it bors. Nobody was very rich, and no- j body was very poor, aud it was one of f< those places where the people are al- h ways talking about 'our first families,' r< [>uillng olF 'function**' and pitying the p plain people.' Of course I didn't class w jp very well, being a detective, out old n inau Kaufman overlooked that, and b -vaa the i-eet, perhaps the only friend I o lad among the swells. a] "Ht> hail aliiv family, about seven f< :hildren?all grown young women of hi he 'high-eociety* kind?and they lidu't do a thing to the.old man's lin- gi met*. What with summer tours and tl vinter gayetles, pink teaa, soirees, it heatre parties and all that sort of 8| lolngs, they kept the old fellow's hi lose to the griuu*t>>iie for true. He ic lidu'l have a thiug n the world but tt lis home and his salary, und 1 don't ol hink that was over three or four p housand. I used to sit with him in fa he train very ofteu, and a* he was e< tuck on talking and!I waen't, I came w o know a good deal about his affairs, f don't think he was very strong at pj he society game himself, but he was 0i il wrapped up iu bU family aud let si hem work him to the limit. tt -rue 'DiaeK sneep' 01 uetiar urove 01 wued the house next door to Kuuf- Ht ami's, and the chief ambition of the gi ashier was to buy out his objection- w >ble ueigbbor. His name was Heck- n< ?urg; he was a professional gambler, kl ,nd hi* wife was what the suburban!ies call "vulgar." Once about every tc onth the Heckbur^s would have vbat they called a 'house party,' but it tobody ever came to it except a lot of w lash-looking guys frum town. That oade the Kaufman ladies wild, and, ec s Heckburg's was a dingy wort ofa ottage, built right up agninst Kuuf- tfc dan's lot, the old fellow, his wife, and m tis high-toned daughters had their tearts set on guying it. nj "'Itain't worth more than ?1000,' ^ "anfin?n witiliiiiiMl In iriM mm mi/lit. it tud I could have bod it for $2500 lane a} ummer when Hecuburg went broke bt in the races.

"Ofcourse I didn't live *u the ttwell * mrl of Cedar Orove, but at that ray " oom wasn't m?re lhau nix or seven IM tlocks from Kaufmau's. It was aliout . bree o'clock oue w;uter morning, just * tefore Cbrlsttuw when 1 was routed iut of bed by 1 aufmat.'s coachman. * lit the gas and lut him iu, aud while m : was dressing he tola me that the old uan bad just been murdered. "Taint -%j' uore'u three days ago he told me if ^ tuylhing ever happened to call you, f* nut ho I came here first.' I thanked l(n uy stars that I was to have the first hance, and in live minutes we were nidging through the snow to the Hl Kaufman house. From the coach- ^ nan's talk I learned that the first in- cl iication of trouble had coiue about a ialf-hour before, when he aud the ramily were awakened by the report of i shotgun, followed almost lmmedi- ? itely by a pistol shot. "He slept in a room over the barn, 81 out had run over to the house and reached the side porch before anyone al iu the house had appeared. He found 4,1 jld Kaui'man lying facte down, dying, !" on the |s>rch fioor. His shotgun lay , beside him, aud, further away, a pis- {* tol, which he supped uiunt have j! been dropped by the burglar. When I got to the house it was all lighted up, the women were upstairs screaming mid goiug on, aud two or three neighbor*, attracted by the shots, were just arriving. The poor old hanker was el yet where lie had fallen, and nobody d; seemed to have the uerve to take even s< a second look at him. I made everybody stay in the house, got a .lantern, w aud stationed the coachman at' the a< front gate to keep newcomers from tracking up the suow. si "Oue of the first things I did after u making sure that Kaufman was dead was to exauiiue his (sx-kets IIin a watch, a good gold one, w?m iu his vest h which was unbuttoned, ss if he might have hurriedly thrown it aud the coat b on. He was fully dressed, even to the u lacing of his shoes, 1 remembered h about the &i,000 which he was in the f< habit of carrying iu his inside vent s pocket, aud !<>oked for it. It was gone, a The pistol ball had entered his forehead, was powder-burned. 1 looked for tracks iu the snow and fouud only the hinj{le truil or the coachman ?i? he ji cuioe, from the ntahle and thofeeofu'u I fox terrier,{Kaufman'*, which wan now v following iue about ill the yard. An i must of the tmowfall had come aitice midnight, I be^au to be my*lit1ed about the burglar?bow he hud come and bow he had gone. Then I looked . about for Hignti of the tdugle discharge of theahotguti, and found the idiot had imbedded ! ?e!f in the Hide of Heekburg's houai ju-t u< ro?8 the lawn from * ; Kaufman's j?or<*h. "Well, the tow n authorities*itoon ar- I rived, and the or >uer and all of them j made a thor n.gh examination of the i whole premises. They decided that Kaufman had frightened the burglar iway before the latter had a chance to oh him. The neighbors began to tell >'ariiM about 'suspicious-looking tramps laving l?t?en ween, and of course the lext day's papers played it for a rayn- i erous murder, which was 'baffling the rbole police department.' I got i diarge or the case and wax still workup on it when the Kaufman family I noved away to ;town. All I found i rom them was (hat 'poor papa had i lad been late that night searching the i muxe for Home paper he had lost two < lays before,' and that since his loss he i tad been much worried. The next day I weut to the President < f the Dexter Natioual Bank, aud, af- 1 t?r swearing to keep the secret, leana- I d that the semi-aunual count of the i ank'tt money made by the directors j n the day after Kaufman's murder t Ifit'lDheu tt Miiiria^c. nuw umvu waa c .?

I got the key* t f the Kaufman houte and lived there i loue, searching it for three daya be- J re I got a cle*\ And what do you / jpiKXM) it WflH? i "I nimply found a lot of chewed-up J reentMioks in the empty doghouse in J ie back yard ! Then I kuew that A le fox terrier waa the burglar. I / fted the old straw, waited until the / low waa gone, and raked over every / ich of that yard, looking for piece* of / ie money. I found nearly a hatful / ! faded, tattered shred*. You can / lem the rest. I took the old pistol A iund beside poor Kaufman and showi it to every pawnbroker in towu. I n anted to tiud out who bought it, for e knew that Kaufman never kept a y latol in the house and never carried tj le. At last I landed in an old junk- p top on the West Side and showAl j te pistol. The owner recognized it at 0 ice. He kuew me and made a Q might story of it. He had sold the t| in to a linelooking old man who 0 ore aide whiakera and waa very ? ervous. "He toid mo ha wanted to t| III a vicious dog with it" explained n ie dealer.

The Hubjoined statement*, showing in a variety of forms the rapid increase arising from interest (rent or usury being very nearly synonymous terms) charged for the u?te of accumulated wealth?which we take from a lecture delivered in Association Hall, New York, by Wallace P.

Many carlecsly Infer that the In:rease of money at six percent, is just :wiceas rapid as at three per cent.; >ut in reality the increase is vastly sore rapid than this. Iu one hundred jrears, at six per cent., the increase on my given sum is about eighteen (iiiiea is much as at three per cent. If one dollar be invested and the inerest added to the principal annually, it the rates named, we shall have the ollowing result as the accumulation if oue hundred years. t.VE DOLLAK, ONB HUNDRED YEA US.

If any doubt bis, let tbem reckou the amount, estijatinjr the entire outfit to have cost nly the small amount of five tbousnd dollars, and remembering that , loney doubles at six per cent., lu a ' ittle less than twelve year* -or acculately, in eleven years, ten months, < ud twenty-one days. Allowing It to ouble every twelve years, this five housand dollars at interest at six per ent. nince 1492, it will be found, rould have amounted to $17,895.700, i DO,000; which, estimating the |>opulaIon of the entire continent of America 1 North and South) to be eighty-five Billions, or seventeen million families i averaging five members each), would ive more than a million dollars as lie possession of every one of these, 'be interest upon a million dollars at ix per cent, is sixty thousand dollars, i rhicb would be the priuoely annual | 3come of each of these seventeen < lilllon families from the accumula- ( ons up to (his time upou so small a iini us that uamed for the outfit of the ifrcoverer.

It in lain therefore, that the great mistake uost men make to in attempting to ise borrowed capital at an immensely ligh rent, ordinarily termed interest. Vhile the growth of the national health remains at the present rate, he average man who attempt* to jwy per cent, for all the capital he can ;et, should not expect to avoid baukuptcy as the result.

If you are the kind of a boy?we ' know tome who are?who foolishly alI lows auother boy to use him an a tool j for fathering schemes he is afraid to lay his own hand upon, read the fol- c lowing told by the Australian Record : One day a well-fed aud sagacious rat came acros* an object made of stout wires, whose sole occupation xeemed to c be to take care of a liberal piece of > cheese. Having had several years' ex- r perience with men and their machina- t lions, the rat looked the ground overja with great care, and he was still en- i gaged in this occupation when a mouse a appeared and wanted to know what t was up. i "Well, the fact is," replied the rat. t "I have more cheese here than I can t possibly cat at one meal, and. as cheese c quickly spoils in this climate, I was t waiting for someone to coma along and e accept a portion." "You are very, very generous," said J the mouse. a "Don't mention it. Just step inside c and pass the cheese out, will you ?" e The mouse no sooner nibbled at the u bait than there was a crash, aud he p found bimnelf trapped. p "Ah, thai'* tb* way it works, is it? li queried the rat *'I couldn't just make v it out. Um ! I see. Spring there g home where. Very good idea.'' p "But I'm caught!" exclaimed the a mouse, in great agitation. n "80 I observe." ? "And what's to be done?" s< "Well, I leave that for youtode- n cide. I let you in on the ground floor, ci and my responsibilities cease there, w Fine day.
