"That pup inust be drowned 1"
Mr. Jim Stiggiugs snapped up his
paper, whieh the pup upon which
he had passed sentence of death
had been tearing to shreds, and
scowled round at his little family.
"Please, dad—please don't drown
him.1" implored a freekled, red-
haired youngster, rising from her
seat on the rug and coming to hire
with tears of wistful entreaty in her
eyes.
"I shall!" cried Mr. Stiggings.
"He's a destruotive little mongrel,
ripping everything into bits that he
can get his teeth into. He s ruined
the back garden, and he's spoiled
my beet slippers, and he's pulled
the kitehen hearthrug to pieces. So
I'm going to drown him!"
Yap!: With a,n upward spring,
the pup had leapt at the paper
which Mr. Stigginds was waving in
his hand as he spoke, and had born
it from his grasp.
'That settles it stormed Mr.
. .
Stiggings, with the light of venge-
ful fire shining in his eyes. "Take
him away, Trixie. And remember,
I shall do away with him next Sat-
urday afternoon in the cluckponcl,
as sure as sure!"
The 'child burst into tears, and
taking the pup into her motherly
little arms, Sat down beside the
hearth to hug the doomed mongrel
te her fast -beating heart. The next
moment a little polite knock sound-
ed upon the street door.
Mr. Stiggings, whe went to open
it, was surprised to find a stylishly -
dressed( geetleman bowing to her
with profound respect.
(qVirS. Stiggings, perhaps?" ques-
tioned the wonderfel stranger.
"Ye -es, sir," hesitated meek lit-
tle Mrs. Stiggings, staring in a kind
of fascination at the highly -polished
silk hat which the stranger was
flourishing before her eyes. "Yes,
sir, this is Stiggings's Did you
want Mr. Stiggings ?"
The strange a having confessed
that he did, Mrs. Stiggings showed
him into the hest room, where Mr.
Stiggings joined him a moment la-
ter.
"Mr. Stiggings, 1 believe ?" said
the stranger, extending his hand,
with the silkiest, of smiles. "I'm
glad to meet you. My name is
Grime, sir. You inserted this ad-
vertise,ment, I believe, concerning
a grocery business IN'hirth you wish
to buy?"
He pointed to an advertisement in
verse. When it is translated into
living it is the transfigured life.

The stranger tapped Mr. Stig-
gings on the chest confidentially.
"Between you arid me, Mr. Stig-

"Yes, you tan buy a really first-

agreed, "We can be there and
back in a couple of hours. Just
wait a minute while I change ray
collar, ancl be ready."
Flail an hour later they were
walking into a smart grocery shop
in Kilburn. Three assistants and a
boy were busily serving; and the
counters were thronged with cus-
tomers.
"It's fine!" gasped Mr. Stig-

with the business until it's actually
sold. It unsettles 'em, y' know."
And Mr. Grime looked very sly,
and winked at Stiggings with the
profoundest meaning.
"To -morrow," said Mr. Grime,

The next evening Mr. Grime ar-
rived with two large books, on the
backs of which was boldly printed
the name of "Carleybrook Road
Stores, Kilburn."
Mr. Stig,gings examinedthem,
and his eyes glistened at the golden
story they told. In less than half
an hour his mind was fully made
up. He, would buy Carleybrook
Road Stores for his two hundred
pounds of precious savings, and
then settle down to a bard -earned
prosperity as a 'well-to-do grocer.

"Ye -es," faltered Mr. Stiggings,
beginning to feel a curious empti-

"Ah, he's a trickster, who's al-

nounced the constable, making a
few notes in. his pocket -book, "And
by this time he'll have cashed your
cheque and made off."
"But I sent the cheque to Horace
Gelder, Esquire—not to Mr.
Grime 1" panted Stiggines.
"Horace Gelder and Mr. Grime
are the same man, you see, re-
turned the constable, smiling un-
sympathetically.
Mr .Stiggings telegraphed to the
bank; then he walked sadly home.
He felt that he eouldn't afford even
a 'bus faro.
M was !certainly cruel luck. His
savings of twenty years were gone.
Mr, Grime's neat trickery, in pre.
tending to sell a shop which didn't
belong to him, had robbed poor
Stiggings of 'nearly every penny he
had in the world.
Only one thought helped to calm
Mr. Stiggingsts furious rage. lb
was now Sa-turday afternoon, and
he could kill that pup!
"I'll drown the ugly little mon-
grel the minute I get home!" de-
cided Mr. Stiggings, with savage
empha,sis. "I'll tie a brick to his
neck and heave him into the duck -
pond, the mischievous, destructive
little wretch!" .
This decision was strengthened
by the news ,with which he was
greeted by Mrs. Stiggings, that the
pup had spent the morning in tear -

Mrs. tSiggings shrieked. Then,
despairingly, she called to Trixie.

girl, nodding her head decidedly.
