Ana the Comment of the Man who
xteeetvea eels Letter.
"I knew a was a Mean letter when I
wrote it, but afterward 1 concluded
that I must have written a good deal
meaner than I knew. 1 was counsel
for a large manufacturing company,
One of their customers, always an un-
satisfactory man to deal with on ac-
Vount of his constant fault finding and
objections to paying his bilis on vari-
ous absurd pretexts, finally reused
point blank to settle a bill for some
ei5,00() on the ground that the goods
Were not just as ordered. The com-
pany then instructed me to write him
the worst letter that I could indite,
threatening him with all possible pains
and penalties, legal and otherwise, with
good measure of abuse thrown in, since
they had little hope that be would pay
and less desire for his custom in the
future. Accordingly I bent myself to
the task. I hope I'm an honest man,
but I can't help saying that that letter
was a stinger. I suspect that It was
the mealiest thlog that ever went into
a mail bag.
A. few days later a messenger from
the manufacturing firm called and asl--
ed me to step over to their place of
business, as there was a man there ivho
Wished to meet me. I am about 5 Met

pounds. •

Mr. Blank arose, shutting oft‘the
light from two windows. Pier a fuJi
minute he stood taking down at me
with open mouth and bulging eyes.
ien he turned to the others and with
an expression of mingled astonishment
and disgust on his face said:

Diamena pendent.
An artist who had suddenly be
almost famous by his production
painting exhibited at the Royal
erny was one day called upon
man whose visit Was productive o
most extraordinary and nndream
consequences.
The picture representeda 1
o
stretch of beach, upon which the
was heating pe. long, creamy rollers
the foreground, bending over a
body, was a man with a wild ex
sion on his face and with a n
knife in his hand. A ship's boat,
dently just beached, was also in
picture, and by the side of the mur-
dered man was a bag of gold. The pic-
ture portrayed the advent of two cast-
aways upon a friendly shore. The one
had murdered the .otber so that
treasure might be his
The paluter's visitor was a gray h
ed, wild eyed man.
"In heaven's name, sir," he gas
out, "how did you learn the drea
story that you painted? I see you know
' all. I murdered zny mate Bill to
: the money that was 1118. I threw
body into the sea. I don't know w
impulse led inc to the Academy. The i
first thing I saw was your picture rep-
resenting the seem! that took place 30
years ago."
Needless to say, the picture had been
the outcome of Imagination. Yet mur-
der will out, and the guilty conscience
of the man who bad killed his comrade
for lust of gold had convinced biro that
the painting was 110 coincidence, b
was indeed the aetual portrayal of
dastardly anti nowitnessed crime.
There is probably no picture better
known in England than "The Doctor,"
by Mr. Lathe Elltles, yet there are prob-
ably very few people aware of the (net
that that eelfeume masterpiece was
the means of bringing, to light the per.etration of a crime that would other-
wise never have been known.

Here Is an Australian dog story from
the back blocks: A sheep dog had been
brought from a station into a small
township and fretted atter the sheep.
One day not a child was to be seen
about the place, and as evening 'came
the townsbip became alarmed. Search
waS Made., and the juveniles were
found huddled up in the corner of
paddock, where the dog had rounded
them up. He had no sheep to look aft -
