CHAPTER XIII.
Venetia's Triumph

The breach between Col. Vanbrugh
and his wife was not one that could
be easily healed, for the simple reason
that no full explanation was possible,
Mrs. Vanbrugh had refused to allow
her son to tell Roger Vanbrugh the re-
lationship between the man who had
died at her feet sooner than be taken
alive by the police. You must swear
to me that you will never tell him"
she had said. fixing her great blue eyes
upon him till Lancelot felt as if their
magnetic power subjugated his very
soul. eff you do, it should be better
for you not to see my face again"
but, mother why?' the boy cried,
as he knelt at her feet and looked with
ly face HE ought to know"
Ought he?" said his mother, with
queer, sad smile. Say, rather, he
ought to have believed me. He ought
to know yes, but without telling.
will never condescend to clear myself
by a single word"
And Lancelot, with an answering
thrill of antagonism to his father. had
sworn that he, too, would not reveal
the truth.
When, on the night of the quarrel
between the colonel and himself, he
left his fathers presence, he was
buoyed up with a strong belief in the
righteousness of his cause and the heat
of just indignation, as he considered
it. But after striding about his room
for a little while, cold chill came
over him. After all had he done right?
Would his mother be pleased that he
had quarreled with his father for her
sake? And had not his father a right
to expect from him some accounts of
his doings during the day? 1t would
not be considered, to say the least of
it, a courteous thing for any member
of a household to go off to London for
a day without announcing his inten-
tions, unless necessity had absolutely
prevented him from doing so. So much
he felt that he must needs acknowledge
to himself. He had not Of late been
civil 10 his father and Col. Vanbrugh
was not the man to put up with open
lncivility. He remembered in this
moment of softening the look of pain
upon his fathers face. Not of anger.
No. there had been nothing but intense
suffering, nothing but an appeal for
silence and oblivion. Lancelot's con-
science would not allow him to call 1t
a guilty face 1t had borne rather the
expression of one who bears heavy
expression of one who bears a heavy
burden, which nobody can remove. And
yet--yet. Lance thought, remembering
also the sweet, sad face and winning
ways of Venetia Zavertal, it was i'm
possible that his mother should have
been ID blame. Would 1t be right,
therefore. for him to make submission
TO his father. when he was perfectly
persuaded that his father was in the
wrong?
He stood by his bedroom window
looking out upon the garden. now flood
ed by the moons silver light. There
came knock at the door and Lance
unthinkingly called out: Come in"
He wished afterward that he had open

covering 500 pores.
Only six persons out of each

WICKED WILLIAM WITTLAND.
How He Succeeded in Looting the
Grangers' Bank.
The Surety Company VIII Lose $1O,-
600 on His Bond, and the
Bank Only $1,S75.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 15.-William
Wittland, late Paying and Receiving
Teller of the Grangers' Bank, appropri-
ated just S11, ,S75 of the funds of that
institution. This is the result of the in
vestigation made into his accounts, and
which was concluded this morning.
How he succeeded in getting away
with the money was also discovered.
All but 5000 he succeeded in abstract
ing by appropriating deposits, his
double position, that Of Paying and Re
ceiving Teller, rendering this compara-
lively easy.
When a customer made a deposit
Wittland would take the money, credit
the depositor with it in the passbook
and hand the latter hack. Then, in the
presence of the depositor, he would
make the deposit.
It was developed that Wittland first
began his peculations a year ago, dur
ing January, 1895. At first he took
small amounts, but as his needs prob
ably increased he drew more heavily
Wittland's last cleanup" is thought
to have been made only a day or two
before he disappeared, the date when he
was last seen at the bank being the Sd
OF this month On this occasion he ap-
propriated $500 by the simple process of
taking $50 piece off the top of each of
the piles of gold with which one partic-
ular tray was filled.
AS things stand, the bank will only
lose $1,S75, the surety company being,
ot course, responsible for the remainder
of the amount embezzled The money
stolen, according to Mr.. La Rue's in
formation, had been used in playing
the races"
Wittland lived in Berkeley, and has a
wife and child, the former being now in
state bordering on distraction be-
cause of her husbands acts. His
father, a highly respected commission
merchant, is also greatly grieved. and
has already interviewed the bank man
ager and surety company people with a
view of effecting some settlement which
may save his son from prosecution.
Wittland's relatives deny knowing
anything of his whereabouts, but it is
believed, nevertheless. that they could
| tell something if they saw fit.
