of the civil war. And with his req iment

Charlie Farnhazn broke down. He
hung himself on his knees beside VIII
and with the latter's arm around him
brokenly told bis story. He had one
evening at the club, when he was with
Cochran, written the signature of Mr..
Floyd, the president of the bank in
which he was teller, on piece of
paper. The paper was blank at the
time, and he had done this thing more to
show he could than anything else. He
had no thought of harm, and had for
gotten the whole business until week
afterward, when Cochran had shown it
to him with Q note written above it at
sixty days time, payable to his own or
der and Endorsed on the back to Coch-
ran.
The signature on the back was as
much forgery as was that Of Mr..
Floyd. but the forgery was very good,
and one Of Cochran's friends was ready
to swear he saw Farnham write the in
dorsement. Since then they had been
making his life misery to him, demand
ing that he give them the combination

might yield that he had gone to the
cashier and asked him To change the
