Air. Briggs, senior partner of the
well-known city men of Briggs &
Purley, hall a small country resi-
dence some distance from town. Of
late years he had practically retired
from business, only running up to
the City about once a fortnight.
Considerably above middlo age, and
in comfortable circumstances. !:o
looked forward to an early and coin=
plate freedom from business cares.
Still. the purlieus of the city had a
fascination for Mr. Biggs which ho
could not, as yet. resist.
One morning 're was making his
at•custouled trip to town and had
snugly ensconced himself in a cor-
ner of a lirsl-class compartment,
with the morning paper spread be-
fore hint. The only other occupant
of the eo:npertnnent was a well-
dressed youth, apparently about
fourteen or fifteen.
"Home front school for his holi-
days," thought Mr. Briggs. "Ah,
well, i was once a boy myself!"

Indined to Inik; so, with iho excep-

when his wife hustled out of the
dining -room.
"John, dear, that. letter couldn't

"What letter?" returned the hus-

what you mean."
"Why, the letter you sent down
for. 11. wasn't on your dressing -

Mr. Briggs stored vacantly at his

"Then who (Ind, John?" queried

"Who brought this? '1'hn1's not

Briggs. "At least, I didn't writo
the ►neseage, though the signature Is
like mine. And who the dickens is

to break in upon him all nt once.
"41'hy, it must have been that boy,

"A very nice -looking boy he was

his wife; "said you told hint to make

"Said so, did h,?" replied her hus-

%Vhen Mr. I(ri•igs went to town
next day, in order to report his
loss, a fresh shock awaited hint. On
calling at tho bank ho found that a
check, to the i one et J.40, had been
drawn upon his private account. and
paid n ro. s tho counter -of court»,

address was very tastofuliy litho-

by the same ulaslarhAnd.
Mr. Briggs took n hansom to
Scotland Mord in 0 perfect pa oxysnl

ment received hint with the non-
committal t•alnllless and impassive-
ness of manner characteristic of his
tribe. Inquiries would at once be
instituted, of course.
"But how could tho rascal havo

Mr. l Triggs.
"flow often In the day do your

"Perhaps twice or thrice a tiny."
"'Then, of cour r., a sharper on the

Some days afterward, while Mr.
and Mrs. Ih•iggs were nt breakfast
t parlor Poplars, In .ho tu. r of '1 he I o la tho
1 i
servant brought in a card.
Tho card was inscribed "inspector
Price," and underneath was ea-
grgved, in very small characters,
•'C'riniinal Investigation Depart-
ment.'
"No doubt," lie said to his wife,
"they hnvo laic) bands on that ras-
cal at last."
Inspector Price was n tall, dark
1111111, closely buttont(i up in his
dark blue overcoat. Detective every
inch of hire, in spite of his plain
clothes.
"Well, inspector. any word of that
fellow yet?"
"Not as yet, sir," replied the of-
ficer cheerfully; "but wo know pretty
well who he is, or rather, who they
are, for there aro two of then) work-
ing on rho same lay -old hands at
the job, too!"
"The boy was very young and in-
nocent -looking," mused Mr. Briggs.
"Bless you, sir!" replied tho de-
t(•ctit•e, "that lad is nineteen, if
hg's a day, for all Ito looks so
young. Just about the artfull•est
young thief in all London. He is
the coolest young hand nt this Hort
of game. Why, they call biro Cu-
cumber Junior for that very reason."
"Call him what?" echoed Mr.
l lriggs.
"('ucumber, hie -reel ns a cucum-
ber, you know --because of hie quiet
ways. itis father -that's his pal
who works with hint in all these
tricks -is called Cucumber for the
same reason. So they call the lad
Cucumber junior, to distinguish
them, like. The plate," continued
the inspxector---nodding significantly
in the direction of the sideboard -
"will havo been melted down long
b,doro now. Wo can't trace that-
nt )east, I fear not. The main
charge, of course will be that of tho
furgtel chocks, and getting money
from you upon false pretenses."
"1 would go ton miles to prome-
cute the young villain!" struck In
Mr. Briggs vindirat hotly.
"No doubt, sir," returned Ilio Com-
ea•lion, with a quiet 111110. "Mean-
while. perhaps, you would be good
enough to check over this list of
missing articles of idati: with me."
"i can't think," remarked Mr.
Briggs to his wife n few hours waer,
"why the authorities should have
taken the trouble to send an officer
all the way down here merely to
check over a brat of stolen things.
Whv, i cove thein till the pnr•ficnl-

ile was soon enlightened as to hie
late visitor's purpose. %then the
maid servant went to lay elm din-

butsome trilling articles of electro-

rushed to the station and frantical-
