A DISHONEST MANAGER.
His Cool Admission to His Employer.
Been Robbing Him tor Years.
Apropos of the series of test matches (sayd a London journalist), one is reminded of a story which an Australian, well-known on English grounds, used to tell. He was connected with a big business enterprise, which his visits to England prevented him for soma time from visiting. After his return home from the Old Country ho hurried round to his numerous branches to sea how matters were standing. One of bis managers he found entertaining a party at tennis. The manager expressed his delight at seeing his superior. " Stay and have a set," he said. When they* got to business, " You'll find everything right," said the local man; "everything, that is, except my cash. That's about wrong. You have never been near me for four years, and I was afraid the whole lot would go before you turned up. Don't let's make a noise about it. I'll send my wife and family to Sydney ; we'll pass the evening pleasantly together, and I'll go with you to tho station in the morning." All happened as suggested, and the local representative went to his trial and five years' penal servitude humming.
