Banker, if your father was shut up in

Nothing" replied Phil, turning

precious marbles and of gildings, of
mosaics and of delicate painting. The
marble frameworks of the windows
which ornament this gate are the finest

single slabs of marble, and are so deli

they resemble transparent muslin cur

The report of the bureau of statistics
for December completed an extraord-
mary record, The exports for the cal
endar year amounted to more than ST.
900, 900, 900, the largest total on rec
ord. The volume of imports was ma
terially smaller than usual, and the
result of these two movements was
an excess of exports over imports
amounting for the single month of
December to nearly $50, 0OO, 900, and for
the year to over 1926, OOO, 900. This is

vas sent for, and he questioned every
pouy about the premises, from The
president down to the Ianitor, who
was also the Waterman. At the meet
ing or the board to hear his report
ne declared his belief in the most posi-
1--WE that the robbery was com
mitted either by the teller or the cash
Ter.
Further inquiry in regard to the two
officials proved that the cashier had
spent his evenings, sometimes till a
late hour, at the bank, for a week be-
lore the discovery that the box was
missing. The teller always went home
as soon as he had balanced his cash,
n not a suspicious circumstance
pointed at him. Mr.. Binnfeld was
called before the directors and ques-
toned by all of them, including the
expert lawyer in the place, who
attempted to browbeat the cashier into
making a confession; but he was as in
dependent as he had always been.
He admitted that he had spent his
evenings for a week at the bank to in
Vestigate a discrepancy in the %teller's
accounts; and pointed it out very pre-
cisely to the board in the books. His
brother, who was a farmer in the
country, had called twice for him at
the request of Mrs. Binnfield. The de-
tectlVe was present, and used all his
Efforts to make the cashier contradict
himself, but Mr.. Binnield answered
every question promptly and looked
everyone who spoke to him squarely in
the face.
The result was that the cashier was
arrested and committed to the county
Jail; and this was only the night be-
tore the meeting of the scholars on the
lawn of the school. Most of the solid
men OF the town refused to believe that
the cashier was guilty, and the teller
was not even suspected by anyone. The
VIE n the children of the accused
were in the greatest distress, as may
we'll be supposed. In the evening of
his committal, Mr.. Binnfield had writ
ten a long and most a~ffectionate letter
to them, affirming his innocence in the
strongest terms. He advised that his
o and daughter should continue their
studies at school, and for this reason
only they were there; but they could
not engage in a frolic at such a time.
Il think we might as well give up
the singing, and let the band perform
all the music" said Lucy Archer, who
appeared to be very greatly disap-
pointed.
But Phoebe says the programmes
are all printed, and that Mr.. Lanes
ode is pom it," replied Kitty Owens.
IF we don't sing, it will spoil the
whole affair"
But we can't sing without Conrad
and Olga" persisted Lucy.
eve can go through the form, Luke"
urged Kitty.
whats all this row about, Lucy?'
demanded Philip Banker, who came
with his sister to where the girls were
seated. They had heard the disagree
able news a moment before.
1--WE can't sing tomorrow, PHIL
replied Lucy.
Cant sing!" exclaimed the t%eller's
son, with a savage frown on his face.
Whats the reason we can't?
Philips bump of self-esteem was
quite as fully developed as that of his
father, and he considered himself the
most important fellow in the first class
of the high school, though he certainly
was far from being the best scholar. He
had a lordly way with him, and was
impatient OF control or contradiction.

port fears mob violence and is unable

there Sept. 16, remaining three days.
At first the Stars and Stripes foated
proudly from the masthead, but Spanish
1oiterers were attracted by it and
gathered by the side of the vessel,
threatening violence. The American
consul heard a ramon that the crowd
purposed burning the vessels and sent
word to Captain Kelsey to haul down
the flag.
Captain Kelsey defied the Spaniards,
but the next day the consul repeated
his advice and Captain Kelsey was re-
luctantly persuaded to store the Stars

mainder of his stay.
