There had been a robbery in our office, and as suspicion usually falls on the junior, I was suspected. I considered $his hard, very hard and un - lust, especially as tbere were others in our room, who, to my mind, were at least as .Ikely to have committed the theft as my- self ; yet on me the odium of it all fell. ;Tot that I was openly accused': there was dot sufficient evidence to go upon for that ; but who has not seen the glances, heard the dropped words, and gone through all the unpleasant experiences of such a time ? One day I was called into the presence of the two heads of .the firm, and gravely told what had occurred and questioned con- cerning it. A sum of fifty pounds had beeu5extracted from their private desk. The money had been locked un overnight for use in the morning, and to ! when sought for, it had vanished 1 I gasped with astonishment and con- sternation. Fifty pounds was a fortune in my eyes. " Gone, sir !" I said, " You don't mean it !" " Yes , James," answered Mr. Brooks, the senior partner, sternly ; " gone ; every penny of it ; and now it is my unpleasant duty to ask you if you know anything of this unfortnnate transaction, and to remind you that you worked late last night." It was true:enough. I had stayed later than the others,te get my bogus into thorough order. It was my custom to work over- time if my books were at all behind. "Yes, sir," I answered as firmly as I could, "I did work late last night, but as I stand before you, I know nothing of the money." To my mortification I felt the red dyeing my face. My employersdight read ibas an acknowledgment of my guilt. I was aware of this, and the thought maddened me. - "It is strange, very strange," went on Mr. Brooks ; " you were the only one here, the money could not disappear without hands. You have only been with us six months, and on you, naturally, suspicion rests. Your fellow -clerks are men of integ- rity, and have been with us many years. It will pain us much to put the matter into other hands, but there is nothing else to be done, eh ! Mr. Kent?" His partner moved uneasily. He had Seen kind to me in many ways. I looked eagerly towards him now, trusting he Would speak in my favour. " We have never found him dishonest be- fore," he said, sorrowfully. " As to put- ting the matter into other hand?, let it wait a day or two, perhaps something will come out meanwhile." They were silent for a few moments. Suddenly Mr. Brooks spoke. " You are in lodgings, I believe, James?" " Yes, sir ; at No. 24 West -street." " You will have no objection to going there now with us, and turning out your boxes before us ?" I hesitated. The thought of my employ- trs going to my poor little lodgings and .turning over my shabby belongings was dis- pleasing to me. I saw an unpleasant ex- eression glimmer in Mr. Brooks' eyes. " You will have your trouble in vain, sir," I answered ; " but come, if you will." In a few minutes we were in a cab, being whirled along the sunlit streets. I felt like a criminal beingtaken to prison. I sat silently .vith my back to the horse, while my employers conversed briefly on the other seat. `We were nearing our destination ; the street grew narrower and more gloomy than ever. The sun here could find no way be- tween the tall, smoke -grimed houses. At last we stopped at No. 24, West -street. I hastened to get out in order to unlock the door. It was nearing dinner time, a smell of burnt onions pervaded the house, not unmix- ed with an odour of soap -suds coming up from below. I led the way up the narrow staircase, and from thence into my room. It was in reality a bedroom, but there I sat in my few hours of leisure ; my meals were served in the common sitting -room below. My employers looked curiously around them. The room, no doubt to their eyes, was repulsive in the extreme. It seemed to me to look shabbier than usual this morning. I wished that I had not left my dirty boots kicking about on•the floor, and had opened the window to let in the fresh air. "This is your bedroom, James," remark- ed Mr. Kent, kindly. " Is your sitting - room on the same floor ? " This is my only room, sir," I said briefly. A look of pity came to his eyes. Mr. Brooks limply seemed impatient and somewhat dis- gusted. " W ell, now to business,". he saideharply, " Will you turn out your boxes, young sir ?" One after the other I emptied the contents of my three chests,and they stoo&watching. It was a useless proceeding, and I felt a thrill of satisfaction in the thought how use- less they would find it. There was a.purse in one of the boxes. I opened it before them, and counted out eight shillings and fourpence. It was my little all, treasured and valued, saved towards my winter's that Jenkins was the thief ; that this valued, trusted, esteemed servant had given way to sudden temptation, and had taken the money. The idea became a certainty ; and yet there was no proof ; no- thing to go upon to wrest the secret from the unhappy man. I determined to work hard to prove my own innocence, yet a feeling of pity made me hesitate to take away another's charac- ter and livelihood. au week had passed away when an event' occurred which tended to increase my sus- picion as to the, head clerk's having had something to do with the robbery. It was a hot day, and the summer sun was beating fiercely in at the unshuttered windows of our office. We were working languidly at our desks, now and then yawn- ing with the heatand fatigue, and our chief clerk looking more ghastly than ever, when suddenly there was a noise in the direction of Jenkins' desk, followed by a fall as of a heavy substance. We sprang to the desk and discovered Jenkins on the floor in a faint. To me he looked as if thesoul had already parted from his body. In a few minutes, however, he opened his eyes We were giving him water, and my hand held the glass. Suddenly he- espied me, and pushed me from him. " No James," he muttered feebly. ""Any- one but James." - I drew back and gave the glass to :anoth- er. They, no doubt, thought he still be- lieved in my guilt. The next day, as I was leaving the office to get my dinner, I met an old schoolfellow named Capel, who was a clerk in a lawyer's office close by. We stopped to have a few words. He said he thought I looked paler than of old, and I replied that my work was long and hard, and that many times I put in overtime. "Yes," he answered ; "there must be a jolly lot of work in -your office. I met old Jenkins leaving theplace at half -past eleven the other night. He told ire he had been working overtime, and seemed worn out; could hardly string his sentences together. To judge by his appearance and yours, my boy, you're worked like slaves." "What evening was it you met Mr. Jen- kins?" I asked eagerly; "do you remem- ber the date?" "Perfectly. It was -the 18th of June. I remember it because I was returning from the Opera. Madame Janeta had been act- ing Marguerite in Faust. I tell you it was grand. I quite lost my heart to her." June 18th ! My heart stopped its beating. Capel rattled on about the actress, and her beauty, &c., but I heard nothing ; all I knew was that I had now a clue to work upon—a clue that might lead me to day light. I bid Capel "good-bye," and went my way. I soon ate my dinner, and, greatly excited at what Capel had told me, hurried back to the office. Fortune tavoured me ; I was early. There was only one other in the office, that was Mr. Jenkins. I began a conversation, forcing it on in spite of the little encouragement on his part. I brought in the fact of my having met a friend. " By the by," I said, "he is a mutual acquaintance, I believe ; he remarked that he knew you, Mr. Jenkins ; his name is Capel. He thinks you work too hard, sir. He told me he met you coming out of the office at half -past eleven one night—it was on the 18th of June ; He remembered the date on account of being on his way home from the Opera. He said you looked ill and tired out, and no wonder !" I cast a glance at him ; he looked death- like. He framed his lips to speak ; they uttered no sound. I continued : " Strange, sir, that two of us should have worked late on the 18th. The caretaker told Mr. Brooks that I was the last on the premises, yet I left at 9 30." The pallid lips found utterance at last ; they even formed themselves in a ghastly smile—hollow and wretched in its very mirth. " Yes, James, I remember your friend. We met just outside the office door, it is true ; but he is mistaken in thinking I had been inside. ' I was re- turning from visiting a friend, and as I was passing the office I met Capel. I suppose he had jumped to the conclusion that I had been working late." " He.:eertainly did," I answered hotly, " and what is more, I believe it myself, and others would believe it too. I shall not rest till I sift this miserable business .to the bottom." " As you will," he answered, with assum- ed carelessness ; " prepare for ' disappoint- ment and failure." The other clerks' entrance put, a'stop to further conversation. The next day I pondered over the matter, wondering how I should next proceed, and who to get to aid' me in my investigations.

When a child is put to sleep, whether by night or by day, light and noise should be carefully excluded. Children sometimes suffer fatigue or chill from the way in which they are first dressed in the morning. They require a biscuit or some milk as soon as they get upy. and before the ablutions begin. Itis much better to give them a general wash in warmed water, in which they could stand while being sponged over with cool, or tepid water, than to chill them when their powers of reaction are at their lowest.
