During the past few years quite a
number of banks have sprung up about
the country, and, as is usually the case,
some of them were of wildcat nature,
while others were sound at the start, but
their business methods have been such
as to cause their failure. The close
times are having the effect of clearing
out these interior banks. and The coun-
try will be better Off for the thorough
housekeeping, and the remaining
banks will be known to be sound

that You should. But must remind

he added gravely, to keep Miss Dows
from imperiling them by her social re-
lations.' .
Champney rose and shook hands with
him awkwardly. THE shower seems
to be holding up he said, ''and I'll
toddle along before it starts afresh.
Good night! l say-you didn't mind
my coming to you in this way, did you?
By Jove! thought you were little
stand-offsh at first. But you know
what meant!'' !.
Perfectly, and l thank you!' They
shook hands again. Champney stepped
from the portico, and. reaching tho
gate seemed to vanish and become =
part of the darkness.
The storm was not yet over; the air
had again become close and suffocatin1.
CORTLAND remained breeding in his
chair. Whether he could accept
Champney's news as true or not, he felt
that he must end this suspense at once.
A half guilty consciousness that he was
thinking more of it in reference to his
own passion than his duty to the com
pany did not render his meditations less
unpleasant. Yet while he could not
reconcile Miss Sally's condolences in
the cemetery in regard to the indiffer-
ence of her people to Champney's atten-
tions with what Champney had just told
him of the reasons she had given him
for declining them, am afraid he was
not panied by her peculiar ethics. A
lover seldom finds fault with his mis-
tress for deceiving his rival, and is as
little apt to consider the logical deduc-
ton that she could deceive him also, as
Othello was to accept Brabantio's warn
ing. The masculine sense of honor
which would have resented the friend
ship of a man capable of such treachery
does not hesitate in accepting the love
Of a woman under the same conditions.
Perhaps there is an implied compliment
In thus allowing her to take the sole
ethical responsibility, which few women
can resist.
In the midst Of this gloomy abstrac-
ton CORTLAND suddenly raised his head
and listened.

by SENTIMENT come back; he saw
everything in its just proportion his
duty to the plantation, the helpless
freedman threatened by lawless fury;
the two women-no longer his one
tantalizing vision, but only passing
detail of the work before him. He saw
them now through no alternating mist
Of tenderness nor expediency-but with
the single directness of the man Of
action.
The shot had clearly been intended
for Cato. Even If it were an act OF mere
personal revenge, it showed confidence
and security in the wonld-be assassin

back door, motioned to Cato to pass out,
followed him, locked the door behind

end of the garden, where they climbed
the fence and stood upon the open field

to the quarters, but for the moment
was the most exposed course; to follow
the hedge to the bottom Of the field and
the boundary fence and then cross at
right angles, in it's shadow, would be
safer, but they would lose valuable
time. Believing that Cato's vengeful
assailant was still lowering near with
his comrades, CORTLAND cast quick
glance down the shadowy line :of Usage
hedge beside them. Suddenly Cato
grasped his arm and pointed in the
same direction, where the boundary
fence he had noticed barrier of
rough palings crossed the field. With
the moon low on the other side Of it, it
was mere black silhouette, broken
only by bright, silver openings and
gaps along it's surface that indicated
the moonlit field beyond. At first
CORTLAND saw nothing else. Then he
was struck by the fact that these open
ings became successfully and regularly
ecipsed as with the passing Of some
opaque objects behind them. It was a
file Of men on the other side OF the
fence, keeping in its shelter as they
crossed the field towards his house.
Roughly calculating from the passing
observations, there must have been
twelve or fifteen in all.
He could no longer doubt their cdm-
bined intentions, nor hesitate how to
meet It. He must Of once make for the

turned to Cato.

bedroom, took revolver from his bed
