high favor with all the moneyed interest
of the place; and when he suggested the
propriety of killing old Silas he had this
railway in his mind, as on the following
dav the allotment of shares was to take
place. Chauncey knew--as he knew
everybody-Nlr. Golding, the banker and
chairman pro tenn of the projected COM
panv. Without the least misSiving OF
hesitation he called upon that highly re-
spectacle gentleman, and, after q few
minutes interview, gave the cCnversa-

"What is itt'' asked Mr.. Golding. Gle
is a young man fer whom | have the

"E-nor-mously rich. Single man many
years; no expenses, you know" sale

How, my dear air?' asked Mr. Gold
ing; we are always glad to secure a goot
client
And with such wealth" said Chaun
ccy, You allot shares in the st. Gnat
junction tomorrow, do you not?'
Yes repli,t the banker; ''and tn
applications exceed anything ever knew
the shares will be five or six premium
before tomorrow is over"
That's your plan, then! Secure him
thousand"
"A thousandr' exclaimed Mr.. Golding
