S TWO MARRIAGE EVES. The Strand 3lag 1zire, “I have often told you,” said James Mayfield to me the evening before my marringe with his duughter Kate, “that I owed my prosperity—or, more accurately speaking, my escape from de- struction—to an accident, o chunce, a miracle. Stand up and look at that piece of papor let into the overmantel. Have you ever observed it bofore?” “Yes,” I said, rising and examining a faded document under a giass panel in the oak. *'I have now and then noticed nover been able to make out what it is.” “What do you take it for?” “Well, iv looks like a half sheet of business notepaper covered with indis- [ figures thut do not seem ordinary. Yes,” he said, gazing with half osed eyes at the papor through the smoke of his cigar. “They are not or- dinary, nor is their history.” . *[t'is not possible 1o make them out, they are so blurred and faint. Ave they very ol Pwenty years. They are much fuded singe I first snw them,” said he, crossing his legs, “Now you may us well know the history of that halfl sheet of business paper, and what it has to do with me and vour Kute's mother.

The night that document over the chimney came into existonce I was | accountant to Strangwa salary of £150 per annum. My father-in-law paused and knocked the ash off his ci! . “At that time,” he went on. resuming his story, ‘‘the business of Strangway & Co. was ir Bread strect. We had ware- houses on the ground floor and in the celld the offices were on the first floor and warchouses filled from over the first floor to the slates. *The offices closed at 6, but, as T was anxious to put everything in the finest order before starting on my honeymoon, I wus not ableto leave at that hour. 1In addition to the bookkeeping I did most of the routine correspondence, and I had some letters to write. When thoy were finished I shoufd lock up, put the koys in my pocket, leave them at Mr. Strang- way's house on Clapham Commun and goon to my lodgings in Wandsworth, ina from my lodgings to my sweethourt Mury’s home, in Wandsworth, too, T was working nway, writing lot- ters ut the top of my speed, and quite alone in the office—in the whole house— Stephen Grainly, one of our travelers, rang the bell, and, much to my surpvis and annoyance, when I opened the iront door walked upstairs, following my lead through the unlighted assages, 1 never cared for Stophen Grainly; no one in the office liked him excent Mr. Strangway himself. Grainly was an ox- cellent man at his work, but to my taste tuo smooth and good—too sweet to be sound. ** ‘What, Mayfield,” he cried, ‘working away stilll Why, when I saw the light 1 madé sure it must be Broadwood (our assistant accountant, who was to take my place while I was away), and as [ hid o goodish bit of money I thought I'd better bank here than in my own home in Hoxton; T am not satisfied it is safe to stow £300 in cush in my humble home.” SUALL right, had come earlis The safest place to bank money is in the bank.” He did not know I was going to be married next dayand 1 was glad of it, for the man always made me feel uncomfortable, and 1 did not wish him to touch my little romance even with o word *“‘Be here at 4 o’clock!’ he cried.

Checks, five hundved and seventy-four, eighteen six. Notes, two hundred and forty-five. Gold, forty-eight.’ “A's you may fancy, T was in e hurry to get rid of him. He seemed in no huery to go. He sat down, pulied out his handkerchif and began wiping his forehe id, although it was October, and by no means ***You will initinl my hook?’ suid he, and he handed me _his order book. part of which was ruled in money columas, where he had a list of the mon ho had collected. The whole was £367, 185 and 6d, and for this 1 signed. Have you taken the numbers of the 27 1 asked. ** *No,’ suid he. “I made u list myself of the numbers on a sheet of paper, and pushed checks, notes and gold up to the flat, middle vart of my desk. I did not want to take out any of the account books that night, and when T had finished the letters and he was gone I should put the money in the safe in the back room. The memo- randum of the numters I should leave with the k at Clapbam, and tho whole transaction would be dealt with by my assistant, Broudwood, in the morning. “Makingout the list had taken a little time, as the notes were all small and no two 'in sequence; thoy had heen col- lected for minoraccounts in the country “I put my list of notes on the desk beside me, and went on with my letters, several of which were now reudy for Jhe copying pri ‘hat evening Grainly talked a lot about the business and the news of the day, and all sorts of things.

The go'd and notes were gone! “I had taken the numbers of the notes on a sheet of paper, and left the list on the sloping part of my desk w dry, be- fore putting it into my pocket. “The paper on which I had taken the numbers of the notes was also gone!” As my father-in-law spoke I rose to my feet and tapped the glass over the document let into the onk above the ireplace, saying, ‘‘And this is the paper with the numbers of the stolen notes on it.” “And that i not the paper with the number of the stolen notes on it,” said James Mayfield. “From the moment I left the counting house to show Grainly out that night, twenty years 4go, no one has ever seen the tist 1 made of the uotes. Grainly must huve destroyed it the moment he was out of Bread street. My fathev-in-iuw finished his glass of port und resumed his story: “Hero was I, on the eve of my mar- . simply ruined.

Of course your marriage must goon. But I'll tell you what I think would bo best for you. Suppose you attend the office us usuual tomorrow morning; you could leave for a couple of hours, inter, get, the ceremony over and come back.” “Oh!’ [ said, ‘with this hanging over me? I half expacted to bs locked up to- night. But T could not get married until the money is found, Mr. Strang- way.” ‘ound! TFound! The money can never be found. Why. we have nothing to go on! Anyway, I shall not taie steps tonight. Perhips it would be best to postpone your marriage, Yes, it would not do to marry under the circum- stances. I am very sorry for you. But all that can be done in the interests of justice must ba done. Keep the keys, and be in Bread street at the ordinary time in the morning.’? My father-in-law paused here. His cigar was smoled out, but he hud not finished his story. 'He did not offer to move and sat still. - After a few moments Le went on: T will be moreiful to you and tell you nothing of the scensat my wife’s place when I called later.

Stolen! And in the vary office, too.’ . “1 never saw better acting in all my life than his indignation and horror and astonishment. 1 could hardly believe my eyes and eurs. I had spent a sleep- less night and was half dazed and wholl y stupid and in despair, Forawhile I felt that, after all, he might be innocent, and that I, in a moment of excitement and haste, had pluced the money and memorandum in §ome place of security which 1 could notuow recall. Mr. Strangway, on reaching the of- fico, hall an hour tarlier than his usual time, gave orders for another search.

Again [ wonder that I was not moro put out, bhut I felt iittle or nothing boyond helpless and numbed. “Before Tleft Bread street that evening Grainly sent me a note begging me, for my own sake, not to think of volting! ‘Bolting,’ said he, ‘in a case of this kind would be taken as an admission of the very worst.’ “Even this daring impudence did not rouse me, did not weaken me; through the whole terrible affuir I do not think I was oven as much excited as I am now. *‘Noxt day M . Steangway said not a syllable about employing the police, or, indeed about the affair atallinor did he, as far as I know, take steps in the mat- ter. Oa the day following he made an astonishing announcement. He called Grainly and me into his private office, and saia: ** *The present is the first time in the history of our firm that anything of this kind has occurred—that ‘we have been robbed from the inside.

He was nhout loav- ing this_country—for Spain, iv is sup- posed. He stole the money n fortnight ago, and stole the iist you had mnde of the numbers of the notes. Knowing the way in which the notes had come into his own hands in the country, he felt confident they could not be tracea from their source to him, aud of course they could not be traced from him to the Bank of England, as the list of numbers was destroyed by him.’ ** ‘Then how in the world, sir, were they truced?’ said I. *“Mr. Strangway raised the blotting- pad and_took from under it a piece of paper, the back of u letter **‘The news of the robbery ot aboat,’ suid he, ‘and of cour: 1 of our custom- ers wero interested in it, Mr. Young of Horsham among the rest.
