Faske put, up his ‘hand as though to check any indiscretion, and said, abruptly. "You remember, too, that at that time you, with Mr. Waldo, had the custody of the keys of the strong room '?” Mr. Surtecs bowed. "Before you go any further,” again interrupted Mr. Faske, - “it is right. that, Mr. Surtees should be told he need not answer any ques- tions, unless he likes. Whatever he says now will be taken down, and may bf: used by-andfby.” Mr. Surtéés Vtrurned {very pale as he realized the meaning of this forâ€" mula. "That Mr. Surtees did the trick," interrupted the detective ; "I’m as certain of it as that I’m standing here. But. if he’s to be 'run in’ we mustn’t waste time. He’s had more than enough already to ‘sling the swag.’ Dt- ' Mr. Dandy, in reply, rang the bell. ”Mr. Sax-tees," he began, speaking very very slowly. when the cashier came in, “it, will be in your memory that. some weeks ago a. large parcel of bondsâ€"Portuguese bondsâ€":were abstracâ€"ahemâ€"lost from the strong- room of the bank ?” ”Yes, unfortunately, I remember it only too well,” stammcrcd Mr. Surtees. "Really, Waldo, We have no alter- native, I think.” said Mr. Dandy, in a dry. hard voice. "The facts which Mr. Faske has brought. to light, taken in connection with the other circumstances, afford a presumption, a very strong presumptionâ€"” "Eh ?” inquired Mr. Waldo in- nocently, "To conceal any damaging papers, that’s what, I mean. Shall we get. "You are determined, then, to pro- ceed to extremities '2" asked Mr. Waldo, looking very unhappy. Mr. Faskc turned to the senior partner as though appealing for support. “Certainly ; tbéy’ve got a till of some kind in the East. Rich as Rothschilds, I believe.” “Thank ye, 512-," replied the de- tective, briefly. "Perhaps we had better get. to business. Will you send for your cashier '2" "Who :50 these Waldos ?

"You’ll find it. in all the evening papers. I got, one as I came down. Look here.” Soon after eXeven a In. Mr. Dandy, the senior pal-tutu had come in. He was presently followed by Mr. l-‘aske, whose appearance was now pretty well known in the establishâ€" ment; Meggith winked. and Mr. Surtees, who was in his own little glass room, glanced up nervously at the detective as he passed through. "What do you xfican ?" asked his nearest neighbor. There, in thesccond edition of the Giobc. displayed in large type, was the announcement. of the robbery at Waldo's bank, and the arrest of a. bank cashier.

In the days following they had many more interviews with Mr. Surtees. Sir Richard, too, came frequently, alone. or with the solici- tor to whom, after much thought, he had entrusted the case. Bob and J osephinc echoed these expressions of gratitude ; then. with many assurances of an'ection, and of faith in his innocence, they left their father in his cell. "You me too good, Sir Richard I can never thank you suniciently.

"Only let me fimkout. phgvillainsâ€"” “It‘dshall be rectified, rest assured," added Sir Richard. "Appearances may be against me. but they can, they must. be explain- ed away," went on Mr. Spaces. “Dearest father, do you think we doubt it ?” cried Josephine ; “we know you have been grievously wronged.’ ’ They were escorted to a. cell, where the wardor unlocked a trap in the door, to which there was an inner grating of perforated zinc, and through this they descried the un- fortunate cashier. “I am innocent as the child un- born," he protested, speaking in a, broken voice, as though overcome by the shame of his position. A very painful scene followed. Mr. Surtces was greatly agitatieg.‘ Ha“ an hon; later brother, sister, and staunch friend reached the gloomy gates of the prison known as the House of Detention. and after some difficulty obtained permission to enter the gaol. "Hush ! Please let. me go : here is Bob," and Josephine, hastily dis- engaging herseli, ran from the room. “Friend !” he cried. as he drew the sweet girl towards him. "Friend- ship is but a. cold word to express all that I feel towards you. Be- lieve mc. Miss Surtees. Josephinoâ€"” The answer was almost inaudible. but Richard Daunt, interpreted it in the way he wished. "My darling !” hc whispered, as he stooped down and kissed her solemnly on the lips.

BUT 1 THINK OF YOU. Wherever I go up and down the hen- vens, I take these two pictures of you with Me. They are so inwrought into My being that, 1 cannot lose them. As long as My hands last the memory of you will last. Not on the back of my hands, as though to an- nounce you to others, but on the palms of my hands for myself to look at and study and love. Though I hold the winds in My fist, no cy- clone shall uproot. the inscription of of your name and your face, and though I hold the ocean in the holâ€" low of My lmnd, its billows shall not, wash out the record of my re- membrance; “Behold. I have graven thcc on the palms of my hands !” There is another and a more com- plete defeat for oblivion. and that is in the heart of God himself. You have seen a sailor roll up his sleeve and show you his arm tattooed with the figure of a fortress where he was garrisoned, or the face of a. dead general under whom he fought. You have seen many at hand tatoocd with the face of a loved one before or after marriage. This custom of tattooing is almost as old as the world. It is some colored liquid punctured into the flesh so indelibly that nothing can wash it out. It may have been there fifty years, but when the man goes into his coflin that picture will go with him on hand or arm. Now, God says that He has tatooed us amon his hands. There can be no other meaning of Isaiah, where God says, “Behold, I have gruven thee upon the palms of my hands 1” It was as much as to say: "I cannot open My hand to help, but 1 think of you. 1 cannot spread abroad My hands to bless, man, every stroke of that Work done will be immortalized. There may never be so much as one line in a newspaper regarding it or no mor- tal tongue may ever whisper it into human ear, but wherever that soul shall go your work on it will go, Wherever that, soul rises your work on it will rise, and so long as that soul will last your worl; on it will last. Do you suppose there will ever come such an idiotic lapse in the history of that soul in heaven that it. shall forget that you invited him to Christ, that you. by prayer or gospel word, turn- ed him round from the wrong Way to the right way ? No such insanity will ever smite a heavenly citizen.

Another defeat of oblivion will be found in the character of those whom We rescue, uplift, or save. Character is eternal.
