Some years ago the directors of the Bank of England were startled to re- ceive an invitation to meet an unâ€" known man in the strongmom ot the bank at midnight. “You think you is all sate hand you bank his safe. but I knows better. ‘ I bin hinside the bank the last 2 nite hand you nose numn about it. But I am nott a then! so hit yet will mett mee in- the great Iquar room, with all the moneiys, at twelf 2 nite, Ile explain or] to you, let only thor 2 cum down, and say numn to nobody." The strongroom‘ was guarded the next night in spite of a disposition to regard the letter as a hoax by police andâ€"nothing happened. ..vâ€" -___ bank, with a letter complaining that the directors had set the police upon the writer, and that he had therefore not appeared as he promised, but to prove that he was neither a thief nor a fool he sent a chest of papers he had taken from the bank. Let a few gen- tlemen be alone in the room, and he would join them at midnight, said the writer. and to cut abort a long and strange chapter of bank history. a man with a dark lantern burst into the strongman of the bank at midnight after calling from behind the stone walla for the directors to put out the lights. He was one of a strange class of men who gained a living by search. ing the sewers at night. and through an opening from a sewer he had found his wax into the richest room in the world.- “-Tfihev neJ-kt phase of the fiystery was more astonishing than ever.

A Ihort time :30 he had to write n letter to a client in a neighboring clty regard- in: an important lawsuit that was to come up before the court in the course of a few days. The information he so- licited was highly essential to his case. In writing this epistle he made use of a letter head with his printed address at the top. In closing his letter he sign- ed himself thus, “John Langdon. ad- dress ut supra." After waiting several days for the reply, which did not come, he again wrote his procrastinating client and asked why he had not sooner answered his first letter. The next day he re- ceived a reply in which the client said that he had answered the letter and addressed it to “John Langdon. Ut Supra, N. Y.” She Will K'eep Ber Word.
