CHAPTER XI.
THE DOVE TAVERN.


| had never before aad have never since
in cold blood struck violently an unarmed
man. God knows | recoiled as | felt the
plates of this fellows skull give beneath my
fist, and, though | knew my act to be a
righteous one, and that had been discov-
cred | would have had a foot of cold steel in
my vtals, could not at once overcome the
feeling of having committed murder.
Whether or not the man was a sentinel
could not tell. The shftless way of leaning
his gun against a tree and humming made
me doubt it, but it mattered little-he was an
obstacle whose removal was necessary.
was fairly sure there was more to overcome
beyond, but resolved to try strategy in pass
ing unless driven to open violence, and even
then my fist should not be my mainstay.
With my temper nflamed, it boded i'll for
the man who crossed me; with my pulses
slow and even, it went against my grain to
spill human blood, especially that of one
doing his duty, and this fact alone would
have made me poor soldier for the ranks.
Now | unshippcd my sword drew my
cloak about me, and walked on as openly as
though | was an officer of grand rounds"
1t was miserable going. In the darkness |
seemed to find and stub every stone and
shoot into as many brambles as might be
discovered in ten-acre wood lot. | passed
unchallenged through the shallow ravine,
and was wondering if by chance | had al
ready cleared the lines, when the works of
an advanced redoubt rose against the dim
sky, and at the same instant there came the
ring of musket and voice called: Halt!
Who's there|
1t was not my plan to halt, or answer
either, for that matter. | had located the

was fairly sure that only the noise of my
progress had been marked, and not myself.
Therefore | swung toward the left and hur-
ried along as rapidly and silently as | could,
soon having the pleasure of hearing the SEN
tinel stumble across my trail some distance
in the rear
| had now the redoubt to flank, and, as the
woods had been cut down at it's front as well
as on either side, there was an open space for
me to traverse. Here | lowered my dignity
by setting on to all-fOurs, and, holding my
blade betwixt my teeth, | crept slowly on
ward, taking advantage of every stump and
fallen tree as a post to malt and listen. But
these latter were none too frequent and |
used at least an hour in getting the few
hundred feet which lay between the works
and the abatis protecting them. Having
gained the abatis, rose and felt my way
through the tangled branches of the felled
timber, making a deal of noise | thought
but finally got past and into the woods be-
yond. These woods proved to be but strip
and a narrow one at that, for ] soon came to
a road which served me only in showing my
location, as knew of one crossing from the
Kingsbridge road to another leading to the
village of Greenwich.

THE BANK'S NEW MANAGEMENT MISLED.
FACTS ABOUT THE MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE
BANKS DEFICIT.


BANKS DEFICIT.
Some comment has been caused among those in
terested in the affairs OF the Mercantile Co-opera-
tive Bank by the published statements yesterday
that at the meeting on Thursday of the stockhold-
ers of the institution President Potter said that
he had found deficit Of $Ss.OS9 So which had been
increased by the State Banking Department to
A $40 a. while Superintendent Kilburn Of the State
Banking Department. who spoke after Mr.. Pot
ter, declared that the deficit amounted TO $3.50 $50.
An offer OF the bank in speaking yesterday about
the meeting said that the discrepancy between
these amounts was accounted for by the fact that
large part Of the banks assets consisted of real
estate and that Superintendent Kilburn. IN fgur-
ing up the assets. had scaled down the real estate
while Mr.. Potter's statement gave the values as
he had found them on the books Of the bank when
he took hold Of it. Continuing, the officer sads
at the time Mr.. Potter succeeded Mr.. Newbury
as president entirely new Board of Directors
also was elected. The books Of the bank had been
examined by accountants OF high standing. and
the new management took control believing that
there was surplus Of 900. 1t was soon dis
covered however, that a bad state of affairs ex-
listed the assets being seriously impaired notwith-
standing the roseate reports issued by the old
management.
THE preceding Board Of Directors had in July,
1898 authorized a contract with President Newbury
whereby he was to receive, in addition to his sal:
airy Of $50 year as president, commission OF
per cent on practically all the new business Of
the institution and all premiums. this contract be-
ing worth a large amount year. The Board
rescnded this contract and also one giving another
valuable perquisite. their action in each case being
as Of the date Of the change of management. The
meeting yesterday was called simply for the pur-
pose Of laying all the facts before the stockholders.
The committee of stockholders TO be appointed will
be advisory body. the present management hav-
ing all the powers II ever had No new business
has been accepted by the company since the dis
covery Of its condition"
The story published yesterday concerning the
financial condition of the Mercantile Cooperative
Bank Of New-York, at Lexington-ave, and Twenty
third-st., led many believe that the article re-
ferred to the Cooperative Building Bank of No;
2SO Broadway. The latter corporation is In good
financial condition, and solvent, according TO the
las made.
