GOOD PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
Romantic Story Of A Western Bank
Oefjciencv

1.-The author who proposes to write
the real and only American novel may
find very fair plot in the story l am
about to relate" said Frank n. Har-
ris Of Chicago, at Willard's. Sew
cral years ago the people OF n small
western city began to wonder how
the cashier Of the leading bank could
afford to live as well as he appeared
to be doing. His salary, it is true,
was very liberal, but his expendi-
lures far exceeded it. He built him
self splendid residence, had his
horses and carriages, and altogether
conducted himself like n man who
owned rather than worked for II bank.
He had the confidence OF the bank di-
rectors, however, and the rumors and
gossip that reached their ears appar-
emily had no effect upon them. The
cashier was suddenly taken sick with
II lingering malady, and lay in Il
barely conscious condition for two or
three months, when death finally
claimed him. An examination OF his
books which followed his death
showed an apparent deficiency in his
accounts Of over $35, 600. His real
friends were thunderstruck and
would not believe the dead man had
been dishonest. His bondsmen. too,
could not be convinced that he had
made way with the funds of the bank
but the books showed the shortage.
While they were arranging to make the
sum good the cashiers widow came
forward and presented the bank pres
ident with check for the entire
amount, telling him that she knew
her husband had never taken cent
OF the money. and that while she
couldn't understand the apparent
proof OF his dishonesty, she was sub
timely confident that he died n good,
upright man.
No one knew either, where the
widow had gotten such very large
sum Of ready money. She continued
to occupy the family home, ana
there was no change whatever in her
mode Of life, and the town was there
| fore confronted with n second mys-
terry, rs inexplicablc as the first.
Fair years after the death of the
cashier the man who had been assist
ant cashier, and who had succeeded
to the position when il was made
vacant, also died. Before his death
he confessed that when his predeces-
sor was taken i'll and had relapsed
into comatose condition, whence
me doctors said he could never re-
cover, he himself had manipulated
the books of the bank SO as TO show
that the dead cashier was defaulter,
and had taken the money for his own
uses. He left his property TO the widow
OF the man whose memory he had
so dishonored, and il then turned
out that the former cashier had early
i'm his career invested in western
mining stock, and that the money he
was spending so lavishly during his
life. and from which his widow made
good his apparent shortage after his
death, was the result of his wise
foresight when he was mere bank
clerk, Now, think that's pretty
good plot for novel. - Washington
