have briefly descanted on are known
to many on Wall and Broad streets
and on Expliange place.
-Somefive years ago two or three
good places were Wanted in Tem
pleton for certain quite i-eipectable
old 'geitleman. They were by' no
mean superannuated men, nor had
they gone beyoud their period of
usefulness. These old gentlemen,
who were. perf&tly suave, honest,
and corrxt, li&bien unlucky in
life, bue'1oitg te enough to
have yo :ihfrie& whom they
(the old g 7R'h ad helped at
ercareerPs, iedks
had.got to ba men of wealth: and
position, while the old heads of t'he
firms who had first employed them
had gone down in the world. .
A savings bank, the Fountain,
with an ample capital furnished by
the younger men, was founded, not
so much for the --accommodation of
the thrifty poor, as for the personal
advantage .of the two eminently
honest,, quiet and respectable- old
glemen, woJ~rawini ~a m"odest
$1,500'& $1,'O ife*,'dould man
ag matters quite satisfactorily for
eFouidain Sa'vings Banc, the
stockholders, t4le depositors and
themselves. As economy was a
paramount considdration,. no extra
clerks were to be hired. The two
old gentlemen were to act as
nashiers treasurers, book-keepers,
entry clerks, and general account
ants.
jhatters went on quite pleasantly.
Occasionally deposits came- i n,
which-were inc-eased, and the old
euitlemen, cultivating the neigh
bo9od, warmed up with the work,
and conscientiously did their duty,
when they advocated thrift' andl

One day there lounged in a quiet
looking man, certainly a mechanic,
and of the better class, too. The
man's clothes were decent, a trifle
worn, and he bad on a coloredslhirt.

A week afterward he did call, ac
eiompaniedl by a friend, and the two
old genitlemen felt sui-e of opening
a new account.
"It's the boss. He believes in
savings banks, and he and the old
woman says-they think-you are safe
-they do' "said the carpenter. "Pity
you hadn't thought of it before,
M.osea," said the boss, "though I
ain't a bit better off nor you. What
I have got is some -mighty sorry
houses-had to take 'em from a
mechanic's lien. Hang me, if work

for a circular, the boss ceased
speaking
The journeyman carpenter haul
ed out a wallet, and counted oul
slowly, one, fvo,. five,: fifteen, twen
ty, thirty dollars-most of it one
dollar bills, and a great deal of it in
fractional currency and some five
cent pieces. Some of the small
bills fell on the floor. Now the
obliging Cashier made it seventy
five cents too little, and n6w it was
fifty cents too much. ' In the mean
time the other old employee was
looking up a circular. He wanted
a fresh one, with a pea green cover,
for Hosea's boss. At last the count
was made correct, a pass book was
bi-ought, and the big book for sig
natures was graced with Hosea's
signatuie after quite an amount of
labor and a blot. The circular of
the Fountain Savings Bank with
the pea-green cover, was then po
litely handed to Hosea's Boss, and
they left, as did at the same time a
certain tin box, contaiing' . exactly
$20,000 in United States bonds, the
property of .ther. before-mentioned
Fountain Savings Bank of Temple
ton.
How it was done, no one Over
knew, and no one will eyor pretend
to know. AU the: old gentlemen
knew about it was, that when the
da&y's labor was over, some five
hours afterward, when they went to
lock up the safe, the, black jacquer
.box was gone!
Police ! Detectives!

straight, and they rnoused over it

ives up:
Queeusby was one of the Direct
ors of the Fountain, and theugh:the
loss of the $20,000 never worried
him at all, as the Fountain was per
fectly solvent, and if necessary: he
could have made up any deficiency
i& their capital in five inorfits, nev
ertheless Queensby was curious to
know how the trick was done. Be
ing of a singularly persistent, and
obstinate nature, he thought it over
for minutes, and ten was forced to
-rob:
- ~ dor
1w lark. hd an
enagemut with a.epitalist, and
was waiting for him. -Presently a
gentleman came toward him, look
ing him right straight in the face,
and said: "Are you- not Josepli
"I am," was the reply.
"Well, then," said the person,
presenting a card, "thisismyname.
Take it It may be of use to you
some day."
Mr. Queensby took the card and
read, "Chaucer Loftus."
-"Mr. Loftus? -And how can you
be ofuse to me?"
said Mir. Loftus, "thonugi ridke
e6 ointments. People mostly
find me when tlley want me," added
Mr. Loftus, rather shar'ply.
can serve me," replied Mr. Queens
by.
"What about those bonds ?" in.
quired Mr. Loftus, in themast non
chalent way, and, bowing to Mr.
Queensby,. vanished.
Now there was nothing remarka
ble about Mr. Loftus. His mien
was quiet and his bearing that of a
gentleman. He wore no jewelry,
save a quiet guard chain. His
mustache was not dyed, and there
was not even the faintest glimmer
of flash about him. If there was
anything remarkable about the mat
it was that his linen was particular
ly well done up, and that his hands
and feet, of peculiarly elegant pro
portions, were neatly gloved and
shod.
"Bonds !" said Mr. Queensby;
"can this man know anything about
them'? Can he be a receiver'? lImi
possible." Nevertheless Queensby
found it worth his while to frequent
the Corridor Hotel quite-often.
Once again Chaucer Loftus, Esq.,
quietly approached h i m. The
words were few."
"Bonds !" said the,Director.
"Precisely," was the i-eply.
"You have them'?"
"I never said so."
"To come to business-what are
they w orth? I ask .for cu
riosity's sake. What would we
have to pa'y to get them back'?"
"Twenty-five per cent. on the
dollar-say $5,000, neither more or
less," and away went Mr. Loftus.
Police and detectives again.

l seem as if they would stand some
small amount of tugging, but when
a true strain was put on them, they
commenced parting again,like rotten
fishing lines. Now and then some
thing was hooked up, but when it
did come up, the snoods, were
found either to have had their
hooks 3napped, or to have brought
to the surface bunches of worthless
weeds. Every possible preserve
was fished; and at last, at last
some person was -arrested who had
been trying to sell the bonds. Not
that the detectives found it out, but
it came to the surface in a natural
way. Examination took place, and
the court got up a blind alley. Jus
tice sometimes gets there of its own,
accord,the goddess being blind itself,
and that was the end of it. Young
man who had the bonds honorably
discharged-only saw the bonds foi
a second-never handled them, and
that was the proper conclusion, for
!the young man was undoubtedly
innocent.
Now,the Fountain Directors met
again. Wiggles made an impres
sive speech, as did Woggles, (the
latter the more exhaustive.) The
two old gentlemen who took Hosea'a
$30 when he took their $20,000,
with the assistance of' his boss,
were catechised for the five-hun
-dredth time, and were worse mud
dled and more at sea in their state
ments than ever. Like the eat in
Little Alice, all they could say was
that "it vanished." The poor . oll
gentlemen went home, utterly ex
tinguished, and took to their beds
for weeks. Wiggles said: "Philan
thropy demanded that the money
must be found ;" and so did Wog
g1s. "-juchgood can be don with

"Hfowmuch noe?" asked Queens

Corridor.

"It was 25 before."
"Now they are 35; they may be
50 before long."
"Is .this your address ?" asked the
acting Director.
"Certainly it is, and not ashamed
of the neighborhood."
"I will think-over it. I may see
you again to-day.
Queensby went to his bank and
d-ew I' certifia :cheBoid 7,000,
:aid henrried to the addre~s n Mr.
Loftus' card.
It was a neat, quiet-looking resi
dence. A tidy maid-servant who
opened the door said, "Mr. Loftus
was in," and Queensby was ushered
into tbhe drawing-iboni. .:he parlor
vias plainily, yet~ coniforFtably fur
nished; on the walls there hung
quite a neat collection of engravings,
and the table was covered with' mag
azines and with two or three recent
ly-published English works of mer
it.
Mr. Loftus came in after a few
-moments.
* "I have brought with me this cer
tified check for $7,000, and now the
bonds," said Mr. Queensby.
"What bonds ! Bonds ? You must
be mistaken-an error, doubtless !
I never had the pleasure of seeing
you before. Catharine?"' M:r. Lof
tus touched the bell. "Show this
gentleman the door."
"Is this your card, Sir ?" asked
Mr. Queensby, enraged.
-"My card?i Strange! How did
it come into your hands ? A mis
take~a comedy of errors.. Cathd
rine, show this person to the door;
and say to your mistress .to have
little Gertrude .dressed, and that
her papa intends taking a istroll
with her.".
Queensby was dumbfounded at
this coolness, paused a moment,
then left. Next day he was again
at the Corridor Hotel, and there
was Mr. Loftus. .This gentleman's
words were brief.
"If you ihink I am such an infer
nal fool as to take a certified check
you must .have a very poor. opinion
of my ability. Bring notes to the
house any time within an hour."
And Mr. Loftus, evading any more
,conversation, left.
Queensby drew out the money,
and in an- hour afterwaids was at
'Mr. Loftus'house.
"Now my sweet pet," said Mr.
Loftas to a pretty blonde-baired
child, who was building blocks on
the floor as Mr. Queensby entered,'
"Papa has business iow, and can
iot be disturbed. o6, ow,'that's
a darling; run to Catharine and get
dressed, and by-and-by papa will
take you out for a walk., .You will
excuse ie, Mr.' Queensby," contin-'
ned the fond parent, as he kissed
the child and waived her .to .the
door. "Little girls want.so much
more petting-than boys." Now the
child was gone, and" Queensby and
Loftus were alone. His manner!
hardly .hanged.- "41; I perceivej
you Ihave the notes. You will
count them. Seven thousana dol
lars? Correct.. You will give them
-to me.'
"And the bonds r' inquired Mr.
Queensby.
"You shall have them; but Iwant,
I and must have the money first," said
Mr.. Loftus,just as. quietly as ever,
cutting-the Ieaf of a.magazine with
a mother--of-peal papr-knife.
"What security have I tbat the
bonds will be returned?" inquired
Mr. Queensby
"The Word of a thief, Sir," said
Mi. Loftus, closing the book with
a snap, and looking squirely' at
Queensby. If yoa will give. me'
the money,. I shall lock it up here,
and you must trust- me. If not,
take your money away with you. - If.
you consent to my terms, in five
minutes the bonds . will be in yogr
possession. I could not give'them
to you if L wanted to, for they are
not here."
With a tremor Queensby handed
over the pilesof bills to Loftus, who,
opening a safe in:the .back room,
locked them securely up;
"We will now go to the Hotel"
and saying this Quesby and Lof
tus went into the atreet. The wes
ther was cold, and,both had on
their overcoats.
"A drink this-raw inorning would
be excellent," remarked Mr. Loftus.
"The braidy at the Corridor is

himself, "been fool enough to throw

ing him. What about thbse bonds ?"
he said aloud.
"Bonds! Why, my dear"'Sir, my
dear Mr. Queensby, here you hav
been carrying on .Broadway, in tNe
most crowded thoroughfare of the
city, some twenty thousand dollars'
worth of United States bonds -wrap-'
ped up in an old newspaper in your
pocket. -It is a; mercy you have not
been robbed. Your escape can on
ly be accounted for b~y the fact that
the outside of the package by no
means represents the value of the
contents."
Mr. Queensby felt in his overcoat
pocket, and sure enough there was
a goodly-sized package.- The hotel
was reached, and in aprivate corner
the package was examined, and the
bonds, twenty thonsand dollars'
worth in all, was found to be cor
rect. Whether Queensby and Lof
tus tried the brandy at the bar of
the Corridor we do not know. How
the bonds came into Queensby's
pocket can only be accounted for by
the supposition that the newsboy
put them there, but how these bonds
-e taken from the Fountain, is
a mystery.
-This is precise'y how, in this par
ticular circumstnce,..a felony was
compounded. Therea was no safer
savings bank than.the Fountain of
Templeton,and during the late pan
ic there was not.even a run on it.
- Of course no pitcher can always
keep going to the well anud not get
broken. So Chaucer Loftus, Esq., or
the forger and bond thief, whose
re;l name is Spencer or ,"Spence"
'. .is, got hauled up in due process
of time, and is now an inmate of the
State Prison of Massachusetts
