A cashier employed in large west

lateral held by his loan clerk simply
by way of precaution. He noticed that
one Of the banks best customers had
over $4,000 out on bills Of ladlrg OF
cattle on the way north. AS the house
In question had an abattoir. this was
not surprising. The Arm was rated at
over 100000. and its transactions
were on large scale. Suddenly 1t oc-
Cured to him that the way bills
looked very much alike. Comparison
showed that they were written by the
same hand. He took one to the rail-
road which was supposed to have is
sued 1t. and found that 1t was for
gerry. The handwriting on the bills
was that OF q member Of the firm
which was borrowing the money. This
could mean but one thing-the firm
was in desperate financial difficulties
and about to go under. 1t was now
too late to do anything in the matter
that day. The cashier did not say
word to anybody. but went home. He
did not sleep that night, but planned
out his campaign for the next morn
ing. The loans were all subject to
call at any time. He walled until
after the clearing house returns were
in for the day to excite no suspicion.
Then he had the guilty partner In the
cattle firm rung up on the telephone.

man nonchalantly. but we are debtors

reply; will you have a check on our
account In your bank or on our 9TH

bank, as that Is customary" replied
the cashier. In a few minutes the
check. duly certified by the cashier of
the rival institution, was sent In. The
cashier took the precaution to send
around to the other bank to make sure
that the certification was no forgery.
Then he sent for the forger. Now"
