I waa engaged with tbe aaperinlend- ent one morning on eome ronline linai- aeaa wbeu a note wna bandeil in from Mr. Uridgnortb, a well-known aulioitor praoticiuR in tbe town. The anperin- tendeot read the miBsiro aud tben tarred to me.
"Itia a caae of pilfering, Sampaou," be aaid, "and the thief, of oouree, oan¬ not be diaeovered. There ia notbing requiring yonr aervice tbie morning— go and aee wbat you oan do in tbe matter."
I pnt on roy bat and went aa direot- ed. Mr. Bridgnorth's plaoe waa well known to me, and I wae noun tbe oo- oapaot of a eeat in tbe private roon; at bi* olBoe.
"1 have been a good deal concerned of late," eaid tbe solicitor, turniug to Ibo buaine-s at once, "ahout Ibo ab- atraction of certnin aums of mouey from my cash-box ia my ileak, and ae 1 fear that I am being robbed by aomo one in tbe office, and oannot put my band on tbe actual offender, I am compelled to aeek Ibe aid of the po¬ lioe. "
"Qnite ao, air," I aaid, "and it will be both ibe dnly and the pleasure of tbe force, aod of myself, to give yon every poeeible aaaiatance in the mat¬ ter. Uow Ijng bave tbe pilferings been going 00?" 1 aaked.
"About a week or ten daya," waa the reply; "iiud tbe robberies alwaye take piece at niffbt, after tbo uflice ia eloaed."
"How do you know that?"
"BeoauBO 1 connt the cash in my leak every eveuiug hefore Inckiog up, when everybody ba* left, and again tbe next inorninf;, belore any one arrivea," eaid Mr. Bridgnorth.
Wbat are tbe amoant* you bave miaaedT"
'They bave varied. Ooe nigbt flve poanda were taken, ac otber aeven, a tbird three, and so ou. Altogether I bave been robbed of tifty-flve aover- aigna, and I don't kuow wbere it ia going to end."
"Have yon any "tisjiicion aato whom tbe thief may be?"
"None whatever—uuleas—" Mr. Bridgnorth beeitated.
"Oo on, air." 1 eaid. "Give ex- preoaion tn your tbuugbta, tbey may jnroiah a clue."
"1 wa* Rorug lo aay," eontinaed tbe lolioitor, "witli aome apparent reluct¬ ance, "unless it be Hartley: bnt I oannot believe bim guilty uf aucb a thing," he added.
"Wbo i* Hartley?" I asked.
"My ounfldeutini clerk," replied Mr. Bridgnorth. "He bar been with mH ever eiuoe be waa a boy, ami hio olitraoter bas alwaya been above sua- pieion."
"Tben wby ahonld bis uame oconr tt> yon in oonneotion witb theas tUefta?" I iiueried.
"Well, it ia like tbis," aaid tbe ao- limtor. "Hnrtley aud I are tbe only peraona wbo sleep on tbe premisee, and aa tbere are no sicni ol burglari- oua entry, and tbe thefts alwaya takv I place iu tbe aisht, I aui—in apite ot I myself—driven to a certain oonclu- biou."
"The natural  one, 10  the  circnm stance*," I veulureil.     "But  tell mt-, '¦ yon keep aeveral elerka in addition I < ! Hartley?" j      "Yea; four others."
".<t wbat time do tbey leave?" I      "Six o'clock." i      "When tio yon lock H|>'"
"About balf part six or seven." I      "You lock your Jeak and tbe   office

"Wby, a honae requires furniture, and furniture ooat* money," I said.
"Tben yon tbink that Hartley ia helping himselt to my eaah in order to ftt up hi* boaaaf aaid Mr. Bridgnorth, aadly.
"It looka remarkably like it," I re¬ plied. "Bnt we aball probably aee. Of eonrae, yoa bave not charged him with tbe thcfta?"
"No, for I oancot peranade myself of bia guilt."
"And be has no knowledge of the object of my viait?"
"Kone, so far as I am aware." "Very well, let bim keep in tbe dark for tbe present. Meanwhile, oan yon tell me yonr object for nieepiiig on these premisea for ibe last few nights?"
"Well," amd Mr. Bridgnorth, alowly; "it is tbir. For aomo little time I bave fouml uiyaelf uut of aorta. Tbere ia nothing really Ibe matter witb me, tbat I know of, bnt I bave been spending a lot of restleaa nights, eitber getting no sleep at all, or only saffioiont to do me little good. Under tl e impression that a change of apart¬ ments is sometimea a remedy tor in¬ somnia, I decided, as I sm a bachelor aud bave only myself to pleaae, tbat for A night or two I would sleep here, wbere tbere is plenty of room and ample accommodation." "I see."
"Well," went on tbe solicitor, "the change answered admirably. From tbe very firet uight I slept soundly, save for some persistent dreaming, wbicb nightly bannts me and leaves me somewhat unrefreahed in the morning. Tbe old woman wbo oomes in to do tor Hartley find* it little ex¬ tra work to prepare a dormitory for me, so I have remaiuod for tbe pres¬ ent.    Tbat ie tbe explanation."
Thank yon, sir. We will now try aod run thia thiel to eartb. Wbat I propose is very simple. Find me a hiding-place bore to-night—a screen or a cupboard will do, for I am used to cramped quarters —aud 1 will see what is to be seen. Look your desk and door os oausl, hnt provide me with a kor of the latter tor nse if needful."
Mr. J3ridgnorth agreed, and shortly after I took my departure. As I nassed throngh tbe outer room I got a look at tbo olerks, and in particular ««* Uwtstvj, wtstofa Vl.—I wuwtftea-vv ao witboat ¦a*pioion. Judging from ap- pearaneee, tbe fellow looked anything bnt a tbief, having a frank, open countouanco, and lacking altogether the sbiftiuess of vision charaoteristio of almost every rogue. Aware, hnw¬ ever, that tbere ia uotbiug more de¬ ceptive tbau externals, I went away, little doobting that Hartley was my man.
Liste tbat evening I preaented myself at Mr. Bridgnorth's door, and wa* re¬ ceived by tbe gentlemau in person. Tbe office was olosed, the clerk* bad all gone home, aud Hartley wa* ont, presumably love making. Mr. Bridg¬ north found little difficulty in seonr- ing me a retreat behind a cabinet wbich stood in oue corner of tbe office, and here I enaoouoed myself with as mnoli comfort as tbo circumstances permitted.
At half-post ten tbesolicltor retired, looking botb bis desk and tbe office door before going upstairs, and pro- vidinic me witb a daplioate key of the latter, a* I hail desired. Hartley would be home, be informed me, abont eleven o'clock, and would doubtlesa go straight to his room.
The lawyer's estimate proved cor¬ rect, for almost exactly on the stroke of tbe bour, a key turned in the look of tbe outer door and tbe oonfldentisi olerk eotered. He bad no oooaaion to como into thc office in order to roach bl* apartmeut, but ou hia way past it he patiseil n momeut aud tried tbo banille of the door, aud, ftndiug it fastened, went ou bia way. A minute later I beard theclosiugof his cham¬ ber door and my watch began.
Tbe time paased eluwly away. Twelve o'clock struck, tben one, then two, and I had begun to think tbat my vigil would be in vain, when, in the stillness of tbe night, I beard a door sollly opened ubove, and a oaotious footstep slowly desceudad tbe stairs. It paused at the foot of tbem, close to tbe door ot tba roum in whiob I lay bid, and I neat heard tbe jingling of a bunch uf keys, a* if tbo possesstir of them was selecting tbe right one to flt tbe lock. A moment later tbe portal opeaed aud tbe pilferfr entered.
Tbe plaoe was in darkness, and I had to strain my eyes to watch bis mo .'omenta. Tbe lantern I bad with me I did not desire to use nntil tbe right moment, for it was my hope to capture tbe thief in the very act of bis larceny. I bad not long to wait. Wrapped in a long gown, and without shoes OD his feet, tbe pilferer glided steadiir to the desk, and fitted a key into tbe look, lifted tbe lid. Ho tben opened tbe oasb l>ox and took out sume ol the coins.
Now was my time. Hlipjing from my hiding place, 1 tarued on the lan¬ tern and confronted tbe culprit As I did so, 1 gave a atart ot aarprise, for the man I encountered woa Mr. Bridg¬ north himaelf, and I oonld tell by bia closed eyea that he was fast asleep, untl, o( oourse, quite unaware wbat he WM doing.
!)eeing that the light from my lan¬ tern bothereil Inm somewbat (for he pasuctl his band several tiuieit ilreamily across hia face), 1 replacen the shade, and theiomuambniist at onre closed and faateoed tbe desk, aotl then walked out of the office, locking tbe dour be¬ hind bim. Noiselessly I reopened il and followed liim.
Ha retraced his alepa up tbe ataira, and, goiu); to a cnpboanl ou tbe land- I mg, stooped down, ritmmaKiog a aeo- . ond or two ami.UK aame old rubbilh at tbe bottom, and aeemtnK to depoait his coins there. He tbtn entered a J chnmlieratijuiuiu);. Peering cautiously i iuto this, 1 saw the sleep'r divest him- ' helf of bis gowu, au J gf t uuoonsoionsly iuto tbe bed be had a (ew miDUtes be ore loft.
I     "Well, Samp«on," said   Mr    Bridi(-
uortb, wbfU \jc caiuf   tlowu   tbe   next
moruing, "wlmt is tbe result of   your
I watching?    iiuve you discovered   tbe

j      "I tnink I have, sir." wa' my reply. ".\nd   IS   it—1»   II —Uart'evV"   in i]iiiretl the solii-'ilor. auxiuiisjy.
"No, sir. it If not   Hartley," I saul.
I      "Thank (i.l I for   tbat!"   ejaculate-l
the lauy, r, (frv. ntly, as if  thu   state-

"Kelore I tfil you that." I   reilietl, "kiu.f.'y see how much you have   been rublted ut    luring tbe oicbt." I      He went lo his .ie-k,   cuunle.l   over ' the coins and iiaiil: "K.iur pdunds!"
"That makes in all—?"   I    qoeried.
"Flfly niuf! "

«aid.     "I anuuld not lie sar|<rised if I

"Stoop down, air, and feel in that corner," I aaid.
He did as I bade, and drew out sov¬ ereign after soverign.
"Count them," I said, when he had got all that be ooold find.
"Fifty-nine I" he exolsimed, going over the pieces one by one. "Tbe ex¬ act amonnt of my loasea I"

We retnrned to bis room, and there I informed h m, to his intense astun- iitbment, of wbi.t I had witneased. "If you will pardon the liberty, air," I eaid, at tb.} ooDcluaion of the narra¬ tion, "I should advise you to aee a doctor. Yon are evidently auffering from aome mental affection, which, if neglected, may develop into a disease, tbe effect ot which yon cannot fore¬ see."
The lawyer acted on my suggestion, and called in a specialist, who ordered bim a prolonged rest. A trying and complicated case iu which he faad been recenlly engaged bad apparently proved too mucb tor him, and bronght on this peculiar form of brain trouble. When last I beard of him he had re¬ turned seemiugly qnite restored ; and Hartley, his confidential clerk, mar¬ ried to a charming wife, was abont to be taken into partnership with liim.
