Change Id a Bank Note. Archie Norton was a happy man that evening, lie was paying bis last visit to Mm inn Gilbert, who was to become Marian Norton to-morrow. V- tin- two sol together in the twi light, murmuring dc'.icibuswords of joy and hope, they were interrupted by the entrance of a servant with the announcement that two gentlemen wished to see Mr. Norton immediately. 'Tell them they must, wait till an other lime,' - said Archie; 'that I am particularly engaged at present.' 'int I was to say, sir, if you please that the business is very pressing, .mil (liey must s<e you.' i With itti impatient gesture Archie ' followed the servant into the passage, where be found himself confronted by two roiili looking men. *y r. Norton, I suppose?' one of thefii accosted him. Archie bowed assent,adding with a I 'euch of hmighti/ess. a request to be informed of tlie object til their visit. I 'It's along n' that missing money,' p plied the man, curtly. It is necessary to explain thait a picket of bank notes, lirough' by a depositor n few diiys before to the hitlik in which A richie Norton was a clerk, had disappeared mysteriously (Vom the receiving teller's desk, tind though tb.e most tborough search had hrcn made, no trace was found of the bist money. Suspicion pointed naturally In some of the employees, hut fastened upon no particular one. All 'bat could be done under the circumstances was to procure a complete description of the miles from the depositor, who, fortun ately, bad preserved a memorandum of their denoniuations and numbers, j and to keep strict watch through all available chsnncls, with a view to discovering by whom any of them might he put in circulation. 'The missing money !' exclaimed Archie; 'has tiny clew been gained ol it?' 'There has,' the man answered,'and you're wanted right away.' Archie had been among the most I active in efforts to; solve the mystery, and expressed his readiness to ac company his visitors at once, and render all the aid in bis power, ask ing them to wait (ill he should step in j and excuse his absence. 'Quite impossible,' said the spokes man of the two, in a low dogged tone-, I at die same time placing bis band on Archie's arm and loading him out of onr-shot; 'Can't stiller you out of our sight, you sec.' ?Can't Slider me out of your sight V 'A' ; secin' as you're our prison -r.' \ 'Your?your prisoner!' the young man gasped, stupefied with amaze incut. 'Yes; anil unless you want to make ii scene,' rejoined tic other, 'the best, thing you can do is to come along quietly.' 'Hut what is the charge ?'disked Archie; 'surely 1 am no! suspected'? 'Wo don't suspect, uothin',' inter ruptcd the ollicer, 'which that aren't our business, which is only to take your body.' I Seeing further parley was useless, with what composure he could com j maud, Archie, niter bidding the scr vnut explain to Miss Gilbert that urgent business called him away sud denly, accompanied his custodians in silence. At the polico oflicc he learned that ti note which he had paid out that evening Htul been identified as one of (lio.se stolen from the bank, which fact Jotl to lii? present arrest. A search was then made of the prisoner, in whose pockctbook was fmimi :v number of bank notes, every one. of which Mas ployed,by itsnnm her and other distinctive features, to belong tt) the missing packet. At this revelation Archie Norton stood overwhelmed and speechless. The stunning force with which the blow hail fallen bereft him of all power to make an explanation, if, indeed, he had any to offer. Next morning I received a sum in oils from the prisoner, with wIidui I I)ad been on terms of friendly inter course, and one of whose wedding guests I was to he. I found him in his ce ], iii n half-dazed, bewildered slate. 'Surely,' I said, 'yon must be able to account for your possession 6f the notes found upon you.' 'Certain!} I am,' he answered;'I got lhem yesterday from my uncle's executor, Mr. Gordon, in payment of a legacy. 1 was too much confused last night lo mention thai.' 'Mr. Gordon is a very methodical man of business,' I replied, 'and may lie able to identify the notes he paid you. In that case the ri (lair will be easily cleared tip; for no one will sus pect Mr. Gordon, ami it he remembers from whom he received the notes, not only wi 1 your innocence be establish od, but a clew may be gained to the discovery of the real culprit.' 'Jiy-ihe-way,' 1 added, 'in whose company were you yesterday after re eeiving the money from Mr. Gordon?' 'In Ilalph Cray son's,' he answered. ^Indeed !' I said, a little astonished; for linlph Grayson, n fellow clerk of Archie's, had been his rival aspirant to the hand of Marion Gilbert, and their relations had been far from friendly. 'Then you and he have be come reconciled V 'Oh, yes.' he replied: 'lie came home with nie yesterday, aiid remained till I started on my visit to Mari in.' 'Where was your pockctbook mean time t" ?Wliy, in niy p >ckct, of course,' said Archie, looking astonished at the (]liest ion. 'All the lime?' I continued. 'AH the time,' he answered?'that is, all except a few minutes that I was in my bedroom changing my dress. I had taken out niy pockctbook just be fore to consult a paper, and laid it on niy sitting-room table.' 'And Grayson was in the sitting room ?' '(Vrtniiily, but why do you ask ? You do not think, surely'? T think nothing at present,' I re plied; and encouraging my friend to hope for the best, took my leave. My first step w. s to ascertain the numbers and description of the notes found in Archie's possession; the next to call on Mr. Gordon. 'You paid Mr. Norton some money yesterday,' I began. ?J did' was the answer. 'Did you keep a memorandum of the numbers and denominations of t lie notes ?' 'Ii is my invariable custom.'said Mr. Gordon, 'and I followed it in this instance' 'Then you will be able to tell whether this is a correct list and des criplioh of I hem,' I continued, hand ing Mr. Gordon a memorandum of the notes found on Archie After consulting his book, he shook his head. 'No; these arc not the notes.' My Ii ist hope was dashed, but I had still another. 'Will you suffer me to taken copy of the description of the notes you did pay Mr. Norton ?' 1 asked. Tho permission was given and the copy made. Now for hope number two. That evening found me in social companionship with Ralph Grayson. We had not been intimate hitherto; for Ilalph was of a disposition too secretive anil selfish to admit of much coidiality between us. For once, how ever, we got along fnRioosly, Ralph was in gleeful mood, notwithstanding his friend's trouble. 'Poor Archie !' lie saiilj 'it's a very ugly'case they have against him.' 'Very ugly," I assented, 'I'm afraid lie's guilty,' continued Ralph. 'Jt certainly looks so at present,'I answered. 'By-the-way,' I added, care lessly, 'could you oblige me with change for a twenty-dollar bill, Mr. Grayson V Mr. I Grayson could and did, in the shape of four lives. I excused myself to my companion, mil look my leave as soon as I could without rudeness. On examining the four bills rcceiv cd from Giayson, I found them to correspond exactly with four of those described in ?fr. Gordon's mcmornu dum of the notes paid to Archie. "Hope number two was realized, and the problem solved ! I bad previously learned from Archie that he had paid out no mon ey between the lime of receiving the sum from Mr. Gordon, and that at which he separated from Grayson; am' that the note which led to bis ar rest, he hud paid at a jeweler's, w hile on bis way to visit Marian, for a ring which was Co figure in the coining ceremony. It was clear now that Ralph Grayson bail embraced the op port unity offered him of replacing the contents of Archie's pockctbook with an equal amount of the stolen money, without reflecting that means might exist of tracing and identifying the former. Acting on this c< nviction, I lost no lime in procuring a warrant for Gray son's apprehension, in whose posses sion most of the purloined notes wore foil id; and', within a brief space, ho was in Archie's cell, ami the latter was at Marian's side, consoling her for the liners of hitter suffering she. bad passed on bis account. Carrier D 'Ves. These u-cful birds increase in value with each new d .?vebeeu.m' of t'i M r usefulness. 'I lib latest application of the 'homing' faculty, as it is.called, of this bird, is the establishment of communication between lightships and the shore, at times when it is imposs ible to convey intelligence by any other method. The maratin.e code of signals is taken advantage of, and two or three letters arc stamped on the wing, intimating the nature of the assistance required. The bird is then let loose, ami makes its way to its haunts on shore. By this means many a shipwrecked mariner may be saved from denth. In a great many cases a 'pigeon service' might be made to supcrccdc the electric telegraph. This would blithe reviving the practice id' the great stockbrokers at the begin ning of the century. During the war, relays of pigeons were kept all along the road from Paris to London, so that these [speculative gentlemen ob tained the earliest news of the course of events. The carrier-pigeon came into special prominence ditri g the late, seigc of Paris; letters, photograph ed on the minutest scale, were carried to and fro by i's means. The Pros si ins could m>t intercept tho bilds, and ended by adopting the system themselves. At the ptcsent time every fortress and for tided town in Ger many is provided with flocks of train ed pigeons, by which means communi lions could he seist itito town, if in vaded by a hostile force. On lit in of Indian Namkb ?The .Sioux Indians name their pappooses after events transpiring at the time of their birth. As illustrative of this peculiar trait, Red Cloud is known to have taken that name from the fact that the western sky wns over spread with red clouds at the moment of tho birth, while the bringing of a captive horso with a spotted tail gave the tow great chief the singular cognomen of Spotted Tail. Sitting Bull received his name because, a buffalo was, by a lucky shot thrown upon its haunches in plain sight of his mother's tepec at the natal hour, while the cavortings of a fractious pony furnished a name for the redoubtable Crazy Horse. -~?>. ? ? - One of the reasons that a side sad die resembles a four quart jug is ho cause it holds a gallon. The New Boy. Ho made his appearance at oneuf the Union Schools the oilier morn ing, and arriving ahead of time, lie prevented any feelings of loneliness from seizing him hy licking three boys and riding the gate oil'its hinges, lie went in with the crowd when the bell rang, and finding no empty scat, ho perched himself on the woodbox. When the children repeated the 'Lord's prayer' in concert, the new boy kept time with his heel, and when they came to sing he argued that variety M as the spice of song and attempted to sing one of his own?one about a g.ntlcmnn named Dan Tucker, who dreamed that he was dead, nud so forth. The teacher warned him to keep still, and he re plied that he wouldn't come to that school if hia musical qualifications were to be overlooked. When school finally opened the teacher secured his name and began asking him questions in older to find out how he should be graded. 'Can you spell ?' she asked. 'What kind of spelling V lie cautiously replied. '.Spell house, please.' 'Frame or brich house ?' he asked. 'Any kind of a house.' 'With a mortgage on it?' 'You may spell man, ifyou will,'she said giving him a severe look. 'Man ?' 'Yes.' 'I don't care much about spelling man this morning, but I will this afternoon. I've spelt it wi th my eyes , shut.' 'Do you know your alphabet ?' she asked, chandging the subject. 'Never had any,' was the prompt reply. 'Do you know any thing about read ing?' 'I rend 'ike?lightning !' he answer ed 'Let me hear you read.' 'Read right out loud ?' 'Yes.* 'I'm afraid it will disturb the child ren,' he whispered. 'Go on, let me hear you read;' He looked carefully at the'page scowled his brow and read : ?If I were a lame boy and didn't get any peanuts in my stockings Christmas, dum my eyes! but IM make Illings jitup nround that house next morning !' He handed the book back and the teacher asked: 'Kichnrd, how many arc three and three?' 'Three and three of what ?' he in quired. 'Anything.' 'It's a good deal according to what, it is,' he replied, as he settled back. 'I know that three and three cats don't make a dog.' 'Did you ever study geography Richard*?' 'Yes, ma'am.' ' W hat is geography ?' 'It's a book.' 'Is tho world round or flat? 'IIilia and hollers,' he replied. 'Richard, can you write?' 'Write what?' 'Can you write your name ?' 'I could, I 'spose; but I've got my name without writing it.' 'Can you write a letter?' 'Who to?' 'To any one.' 'Yes, I could, if I had money to pay the postage.' 'Well, Richard,' she said in des pair, you'll have to go into the lower room if you waut to come to school here.' 'I'd ruthcr slay here.' But you can't. I'll bet you this knife agin ten cents I can. She took him by the arm to remove him, but ho laid his hand on her shoulder and said in a warning voice ; Don't get mo mad now, or I'll let myself loose. Sho called the principal down, and as he approached the boy he demand ed : Roy, what aro you doing here? Gelling cddicasliuu! replied Rich ard. You go right down stairs now! continued the principal.
