"Somebody has taken te monish, and, py Cot! I vill find out who has got it." "Don't be so hasty in your conclusions, sir," said the clerk.

"Let us search the room carefully, and see whether it has not been mislaid by you.

It will never do," he added, "to charge anybody with having taken the money, when it may be lying about the room." "Vere can it pe lying ?" asked Mr.Swartz angrily.

"I tell you it vash on te safe, and tere ish no use looking any where else." "That maybe so, sir," replied the clerk, "but if you will give me permission I will search the room well before you take any further steps in the matter." "You can look if you like," observed Mr.Swartz, "but I know tere ish no chance of your finding it, and it ish only giving yourself trouble for noting." "Never do you mind that, sir," the clerk answered.

"I am willing to take the trouble." Removing the books from the top of the safe he carefully shook them out, but the package was not among them.
