Borisoff had lost noUiing of his pride. It was plain they IukI come to ask not pardon, but justice. X^t'V met no one on the gr<'at -^ 'stair V. ay, and were conducted by Gforget to the waiting-room at- tached to M. Dorgeres' oilios. This hall was empty, but the banker was rot alone, for th/ough the door of the office in which he had formerly dismissed Robert de Carnoel could be heard the sound of hia voice pitched in a high key. Mzsime re- quested Galopardin to remain in the waiting-room with Georget un- til called for, oixjned the door of thf office, and moving aside to al- Jow the countrss and Itobert do ^y Carnoel to pass in, entered immedi- ately after her. Alice, who was sobbing in the depths of an arm-chair, sprang to Ji<»c feet. M. Dorgeres uttered a cry of indignation on perceiving the visitors his nephew had brought. He â- would certainly have burst forth if thib former secretary only had been E resent but he restrained himself, iss out of resiiect for the countess ihan consideration for his daugh- •' tor, who was in a condition of ex- treme nervous excitement. To vent his anger on some one, be selected Maximo. "Why do you undertake to bring to my house persons who have io business here i" "My dear uncle," replied the ne- -- phew, quietly, "you will thank me presently for what I have done." "Thank you! you are mocking roe." "Monsieur," began the countess, jc.'ilmly, "I beg Jy'ou to listen to me" "It is useless, madame. I know what you are going to say. My daughter has already told me, and I do not believe a word of the ro- mance you have invented. As for the man who dares to apjiear before me when I have driven him away," he added, advancing toward Car- peel, "I am determined not to suf- fer his presence y i);y patron would tell you that â€" " "I know your patron, but no mat- ter about him. What did you come here iorV "Iâ€" I don't knowâ€"" "But I kr.jw," said Maxime. "Come forward, monsieur. Take that paper that is on my uncle's table." Galopardin obeyed mechanically, and as soon as he had the letter in his hands. e.xclaime<l : "Hold! this is the letter that I wrote." "You!" exclaimed the banker, "you wrote that ! We shall see pretty soon whether you are telling the truth. Here is a pen and ink. Copy the first sentence." Galopardin thought perhaps the banker before offering him a situ- ation in his banking house wanted to see if he wrote a good hand. He excused himself from taking the banker's chair, and set to work ca'Hgraphing with great pains. He had not written six words before il. Dorgeres seized the paper, and di^signating Robert de Carnoel, said : "Enough! I am satisfied. It was certainly you who acted as secre- tary to monsieur." "But â€" noâ€"I do not know him," stammered Galopardin. By the manner in which he and Ktbert de Carnoel looked at each other M. Dorgeres could see that they met for the first time, and ho began to change his tune. "Then will you tell me who dic- tated this letter?" "W'illingly, sir. It was M. Jules Vignory, your cashier." "You lie!" "I swear I do not. Vignory was my friend.

It cost me much to take this step, for you would na- turally reproach my heedlessness. A cashier who forgets fifty thou- sand francs in a drawer is guilty of culpable negligence. I was, how- ever, resolved to confront a blame I deserved only too well, but an (vil thought occurred to me. I had sometimes dared to dream of becoming your partner and son-in- law. It was a dream, but you had shown so much interest in me that it did not S2em one impossible to roaliie However, I spoke to no one of these chimeras which i s^z- retly caressed, and would never have permitted any one to sec that I entertained the shadow of such a hope. I resigned myself to love Mile. Dorgeres in silence, for I did Icve her with a disinterested love, ai<' would have wished she were poor I might aspire ojicnly to her hf.nd. 1 siifft red the more since f\vi did notâ€" she could notâ€" love me be'ause she was betrothed to Bob- crt de Carnoel, my comrade, my fiiend. And Robert, wounded by the repulse he had just met with, had gone away swearing that he meant to expatriate himself â€" that ho would never return. The ob- stacle which rose \\p between Mile. Dorgeres and me had disappeared. I carried my delusion so far as to believe the i\ay would come when ^he would forget the absent one iind would come at length to per- ceive that I adored her. "But tho day after 1 discovered the missing sum I received from Carnoel a letter, through which I learned that after a short journey to Brittany he had returned to Paris; that he would remain there some days in the hope of making arrangements for going to America, and menat to attempt a meeting with Mile. Dorgeres. He gave ire his address and asked to see me. This letter overwhelmed mc. All my plana crumblwl away, f-.ir I felt that Carnoel could easily justify himself if he was in a situ- ation to make explanations. Then despair seized me and jealousy sug- gested an infernnl thought. This mcney, which I should have re- ported t-o you, I would not keep it, Hiid dreaded, in returning it, well- merited reproaches.

Gentlemen,â€" I wish to cxpres? my appreciation of the 38 h.p. Daimler which you have delivered to me. Before ship- ping the car to Canada I made a three weeks' trial of it, cov- ering some 1,200 miles. The car ran perfectly, and I never had the slightest trouble of any kind, and I think it quite lives up to the many claims you make for it. The silence, smooth- ness of running, and power of acceleration on hills is really remarkable. • 1 1 My petrol consumption was IG miles to the gallon, includ- ing a great deal of driving in trnffic. The tyres show no ap- preciable signs of wear, and I think it will prove light on tyres. I am really delighted with the car.â€" Yours sincerely, (Signed) C. A. BOONE, of Toronto, Canada.
