with Mr.. Haughey," was Deputy Foley's
prompt response, and he added: "Be
kind enough to say that we are in wait
ing for him."
Well" replied the lady, still In manner
unconcerned, ''the elder Mr.. Haughey is
lying down and is really very seriously
tndtsposed. Would not my husband, Mr..
Schuyler Haughey. do just as well?''
'Oh, certf tnly," replied the officer. with
marked com tesy, please send him to US
at once"
Mrs. Haughey then disappeared and in
a very few moments the gentlemen in
waiting heard a rapid conversation in
subdued tones going on in an inner
apartment.
who are they and what do they look
like?" said one Of the parties in very
strong masculine tones.
Il don't know" was the reply. 'They
are very gentlemanly appearing. They
look like educated Jews"
Then Schuyler G. Haughey came into
view and quickly presented himself at
the door.
Good afternoon. gentlemen" was his
nonchalent salutation. What can 1 do
for your"
please step this way, Mr.. Haughey,"
said Deputy Foley with marked stern
ness Of tone, ''I have something 1 wish
to read to you"
Then the whilom president of the
curled hair and glue works stepped out
on the portico with the federal officer.
and as with measured precision the
deputy read the warrant charging the
young man with having abetted his
father In the commission of a desperate
crime, the least punishment upon con-
viction being five years's Imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
His Face PnIed.
Young Haughey's face paled and the
color fled from his lips for an instant.
He lowered his countenance and seemed
to be much perturbed. He recovered his
self-possession, however, within a few
brief moments and said
This looks bad indeed. gentlemen. but
it will end all right; 1 suppose 1 am to
consider myself under arrest
You are under arrest Mr.. Haughey,"
replied Deputy Foley. but you must
first take us to your father"
why. he is SICK" quickly exclaimed
the young man, 'and unless your bust
ness is very urgent 1 would much pre-
fer that you would not trouble him now.
Could you not call on him tomorrow"
We cannot wait until tomorrow, SIR
replied the deputy. Please take me to
him at once"
Thereupon the young man turned,
stepped across the Threshold and said:
This way, gentlemen"
lie leu the RGnllGnlen into the spacious
reception hall and opening a door lead
ing to a magnificently furnished study
ushered them in. They stood for a
moment on the threshold and looked
into the room. There on divan lay the
eX-president Of the wrecked bank. The
old mans face was pinched with care.
He showed by his simple appearance
that he was much weakened and worn
with severe mental suffering.
He waved the gentlemen to seats with
marked dignity and offered to arise.
'Never mind. Mr. Haughey," said the
he could command. Keep still for a
time at least. until can read this paper
to you"
The WARRANT Read.
Then the officer, seated by the ex-bank
presidents side read to him the warrant
for his arrest.
"Oh, my soul!' exclaimed the old man
in anguish; "Oh, my heavenly Father!
has it come to this? 1t cannot be possi-
BILE that 1 am to be arrested for crime.
oh, what shall 1 do What on earth can
I do?"
Mr. Haughey struggled for a few
moments with his emotions and then,
more calmly, pleaded: rs it necessary
for me to go with you now? Why can
not wait and go down town tomorrow?
Surely, gentlemen. you don't think 1
would run away, do your"
Deputy Foley then suggested that Mr.
Haughey, If he so desired, could tele-
phone his friends in the city and have
them meet him at the marshal's office,
when they arrived.
The deputy, at Mr.. Haughey's request,
thereupOn telephOncd to Attorney John
NJ. Duncan and the reply came back:
Say to Mr.. Haughey 1 will be there"
All this time the younger Mrs.
Haughey had become much worried and
excited and the tears were rolling down
her cheeks. Her husband took her
aside and assured her that no serious
trouble would ensue and bade her be of
good courage as both he and his father
would return home lin time for tea"
Mr.. Haughey had in the meantime
arisen, thrown on his coat, donned his
straw hat and said he was ready to go
with the officers. AS the party passed
down the walk an elderly lady who
had ceme across a field on the opposite
side of the road met them at the gate.
1t was the elder Mrs. Haughey. Her
husband. with much gentleness and
wise use of words, broke the news to
her. From her eyes the tears flowed
freely, but she put her hand firmly on
her husbands shoulder and said: az
know you we'll enough to know you
have done no intentional wrong and /
believe all will look brighter in a little
while. Indeed, I do. Please do not be
gone longer than is necessary"
Then leaning on her daughter-in-law's
arm the good old wife and mother
passed away slowly toward the house
and disappeared.
The commissioner and Deputy Foley
with the prisoners entered the carriage
and the return was made to the city.
Mr.. HauEhey Talks.
On the way the elder Haughey unbur-
dened himself to Mr.. Van Buren,, with
whom he occupied the rear seat of the
carriage.
Think Of 1t. 1t is the first time In
the forty-five years 1 have lived in this
community that I have ever been In
trouble. Ny life-my business as we'll
as my domestic life-has been one of
peace with all mankind and free from
the burden of even the slightest fear
of any results whatsoever Of my deal
ings with those around me. Why I am
utterly ignorant of what must do in
this unhappy situation. I do not
even know what 1 must do in giving
bond. Why, surely, no one can think
for a moment that / would run away
Is there a person in all Indianapolis who
suppose I would heap disgrace upon my
family by voluntarily becoming a fugi-
tive from justice? Indeed, / would
much rather face the worst of this un-
happy situation than do such a thing.
I want to say that OF all the money
