heard from one or iwo that Ap'ey had positively
lecamped.
In his selfish heart he had but one thought
JOY tha, he had saved his money, and that he had
not already gone too Far in his conriship 10 draw
back
The example II young Morris had its effect.
Ever, hody rushed To the bank 10 draw their
savings. The banker was In despair Time
would have saved him hut time he could not
have.
There was one man whose coming he dreaded
inure than that Of any other, aud that man was
Daniel Holloway. There were twenty thousand
dollars 10 his account. and his call for them on
that day would have been the fatal blow
Lucy knew this And when, at high noon,
she saw Dan riding on his pet horse White beauty
up the road her heart sank She had no power
io leave the garden paiing where she stood and
fell faint with anguish
Tie tied his horse 90 post and came nn toward
her 'losc beside the gate he stopped aud touched
his hat.
Good day, Miss Lee" he said
Good day. she falirrcd

looking anywhere hut nj her ne he spoke. There's
trouble in there, ain there /? and hr nodded at
the bank.

lie turned away, but Lucy stopped him.
"ilow shall i.ank you 2 she said.
Dan looked more shecpish than ever
"Don'i say anytl ing. he said "i'ye hal an
old father myself and he fairly bolied, leaving
Lucy in n state Of mind quite indescribablc.
The run continued but only for small sums,
which was promptly paid and when Beal the
butcher stopped on his way TO the bank TO warn
Dan Holloway. he found him ready TO go TO town.
'As for drawing my money. | shan :. said
Dan. lie, others be fools IL they will
And Zeal, who knew the sum Dan had there,
actually falierclin in his purpose, and rode home
so matters grew more pleasant at the bank, and
the hour OF closing found no sign Of failure
Before the hour Dan was in New York. Some
thing which he mentioned 10 no one took him
there.
On the previous week he had business with the
captain OF m ocean steamer lying at certain
dock and sat talking with him 10 the Office where
passengers purchased their tickets
As he eat there, hidden by a screen. hc heard
voice he knew aud looking around the desk
saw Apsley. lie was engaging passage for some
one OF the name Of Smith and came back twice
10 be sure Of the hour for starting
As hsdepar;ed Dan also arose aud the cashier
saw him. lie looked up in a startled disconcer-
ted way and nodded.
Pleasant day, Mr.. Holloway - he said. I've
been engaging passage for u friend No, for my
self, thank fortune. should dread n sea voyage
81 should like one, said Dan
"Ah, you are young" said Mr.. Apsiey. And
then I'm so sea-sck-wofully sea-sick
There they had parted, aud Dan had thought,
no more OF the matter until 10 day. Now he felt
sure that for himself, and no other, had the
cashier engaged the passge. The day ON which
the vessel lei port was the ncxt--ihc hour, sun

The banker would have him dine with him
