This mischief is now really at its height, and the law-courts are beginning to take cognizance of it; but in vain, for it cannot be remedied but by a law which shall compel domestic servants, like laborers, to have a pass-book as a guarantee of conduct. Then the evil will vanish as if by magic.
Had you anything to do with his banking account?" "No!" replied Zillah, promptly. "That's the one thing I never had anything to do with. I never saw his pass-book, nor his deposit-book, nor even his cheque-book. He kept all that to himself." "Just so," said Mr. Penniket. "Then, of course, you don't know that he dealt with considerable sums evidently quite outside this business.
Hendricks had his devil well in hand as he stared at Barclay, and then said: "John this is mighty dangerous business. Are we carrying his account nine thousand short on our books, and making his pass-book balance?" "That's it, only " "But suppose some one finds it out?" asked Hendricks. "Oh, now, Bob, keep your shirt on. I fixed that.
But another capital feature in the working of Penny Banks, as regards the cultivation of prudent habits among the people, is the circumstance that the example of boys and girls depositing their spare weekly pennies, has often the effect of drawing their parents after them.

He is self-conceited, and don't want to be advised; he thinks there is no law like the law of England, and that the old union-jack is a pass-book of nations; and he thinks everybody's bound to obey his notions of humanity and the dictates of his positive opinions.
"What did the inventive sacket do?" the doctor asked inquisitively; but McLean, who had referred to the incident of the pass-book, affected not to hear. "Miss Ailie has told me his history," he said, "and that he goes to the University next year." "Or to the herding," put in McQueen, dryly. "Yes, I heard that was the alternative, but he should easily carry a bursary; he is a remarkable boy."
