To Watch Both.

The director? of a bank had engaged the services of a watchman, who came well recommended, but did not =-eem over-ex-perienced. The chairman, therefore, bent for bill to post him up a bit, ami begun : "Jame^, this is your £r=t job of this kind, isn't it?" "Fes, sir." . "Your duty mu.-t be to exeici=e vigilance." "Yes, mi-." "Be careful how strangers approach you " "I will, sir." •*J£q itraneer must be allowed to enter

the bank at night under any pretext whatever."

"No, sir." "And our manager — he is a gcod man. honest, reliable, and trustworthy ; but it will be your duty to keep your eye on him." "But it will be hard to watch men and the bank at the same time."

"Two mer- how?" "Why, sir. it was only yesterday that the manager called me in for a talk, and he said you were one of the best men in London, but it would be just as well to keep both eyes on you. and let the directors know if you hung around after hours."
