White was at our mercy. Turning gedly on us, he said,' What do you want ?' ' I want,' said Tom,' the restitution of the money you robbed me of.' 4 I can't it to you. I'm a pauper.' ' Then you'll stand your trial for embezzle ment and breach of trust. Jack, go for a policemen ; I'll be able to take care of this fellow while you are away." I was just about to go for the purpose when in stepped an elderly ' White,' said he, * I have come here as you desired, and have brought the money with me. But who are these gentlemen? Friends, I suppose ?' ' Well, not quite that,' said Tom, but old acquaintances.' Hereupon a full explanation took place. White could not deny the embezzlement of the trust funds, of which we g*ve ample proof, the money derived from the sale of which he had deposited with the gentleman who had just entered. The latter looked at White wi' h an expression of surpriae mingled with disgust; then, turning to Tom, aaid— ' Sir, I entreat you to believe that I am wholly ignorant of the transaction which you havejusi mentioned. The money waa de posited with me upon a very different state ment. lum quite ready to hand it over to you now, if Sir White conaonts, and girea me an acquittance. If not, I shall certainly not give it to him, but will hold it to abide the result of any steps you may take.*

White fait it wan in vain to resist, so the money was hanled ove' to us both—good bank of England notes. Then we all joined in a reoeipt, and Tom and 1 took our departure. « Well, Tom,' said I, when we wera bowl ing away to his bankers to deposit the money, 4 let me congratulate you on your good for tune. I dou't think there are many men who would have so quickly recogniied White, or run him to cover so keenly. I confess I never should hare known him. He had a black wig instead of his candy hair, and all his light brown beard and whiskers were shared clean off.'

' Aye,' replied Tom,' but I knew the cut in his forehead, to say nothing of his hawk's eye and Roman nose.
