We both melt a rat at about the same moment. We turned the waste-paper basket upside down, and, after an hour's hard work, we managed to piece the following letter together. It was dated Toronto and purported to come from an old chum of mine there, It began: “Dear Pauw: Tam sorry to hear that poor Algy has been +o ill,” and it went on to say that he inclosed a cueck to help me raise the wind a bit. We found the scrapsof the check in the waste paper basket, too. “I got Stewart to stay with me that night, for Iwas so weak that Iwas really afraid to face Bigge alone. Bigge came in about 10 o'clock. We confronted him with the papers and be broke down and cried like a baby, got on his knees and begged me to give him another chance. I got my back against the door and then I told him that I would not prosecute him on one condition, and that was that he at once sit down and write me a confession of the for- gery. He did so,and Grant Stewart and I signed the paper as witneses, The next night, when I was alone with him again, I woke up in the middle of the night and found him leani; over me, He was evidentls trying to feel unde my pillow to see if the paper was there.

Bigge had a gentle habit of wearing clothes while I was laid able to walk about he used for me. “The other morning in the pocket of an old coat I found all the letters that I had sent to my father, mother and sisters since I was ill. They were all open, and Bigge had even gone so far as to steal the stamps off of the envel- opes. After that Pauw aud I decided that it was about time to bring Bigge upebort. Bigge broke open our trunks down stairs and pawned every blessed thing that was in them.
