A CLEAN JOB OF IT.
The Bank Cashier Got Away With
the Whole Assets.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Speaking of bank robberles, the most
| remarkable case have ever known was
| in small Texas town near the Mexican
| line" said an old reporter, land the
| man who figured in 1t was an old
| schoolmate Of mine. He was good fell
low, and had worked his way up to the
position Of cashier. 1t was in one Of the
| more prosperous towns and the bank
was doing an immense business on ac-
count of the adjacency of some Of the
large cattle ranches. The bank was
under the supervision of the federal
government, and the inspectors had
been around at intervals, and had al
ways found the institution in a flourish
ing condition, and with the accounts
of the cashier in good order. But 1t
was all trick in bookkeeping, yet one
of those tricks which frequently fool
the examiners. The fact was that the
cashier had been carrying on a system
of speculations for four or five years,
and was hopelessly in the hole. One
day the examiner dropped in, and went
over the books, counted the cash on
hand, checked up the bills receivable,
and all that sort of thing, and found
everything on the square apparently.
But the cashier was feeling little wor-
red. He thought the examiner had a
suspicious look. The examiner left for
some little town near by. The next
evening the cashier happened to be near
the depot when the train came in. He
saw the examiner get off. He knew
this meant something. He told his wife
about the whole thing, told her he was
hopelessly in the hole, that he was near
ly a million dollars short and he would
have to leave. But before going he
visited the bank and opened the vaults,
and when he got through he had 5000, 900
or 100000 in his trunk. He left for
Mexico. There was no treaty at the
time covering the offense of embezzle-
ment, and he knew besides that he
could protect himself at all hazards.
The examiner went around to the bank
the next morning, thinking that he
would surprise the cashier The cashier
had switched the tables. The vaults
were empty. think the examiner
found. all told, about Sl.S5 in the bank.
The cashier had the balance, and was
out of reach, Guilty conscience had
quickened the cashiers sense of danger,
and he leaped just in time to miss the
penitentiary. He was finally located In
Mexico and an officer from Texas ar
rested him, but the Mexican authorities
would not give the officer a place to
imprison the fugitive, and suppose he
is still across the border, prosperin8 on
the money he plfered,"

A DUMAS STORY.

Among the numerous Dumas stories
that have been resuscitated because OF
the recent centenary, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser, is that
which tells of the time when the man
who made 100000 francs by his pen
and spent it all lay on his deathbed,
attended by his son.
Look through my escritoire." said
the dying man, "and see how much
money there is in it,
A thorough search produced the sum
of thirty francs.
"There!" exclaimed Dumas. with q
flicker of his old triumphant fun.
when first came to Paris l had Just
forty francs, and YOU see l have thirty
left. And yet they say that l have been

He was slouching along when his eye
was attracted by brightly colored
poster in the hallway Of a business
block. On pink background was
printed in black letters the following
words:
WANTED-Men of good character. be-

the United States army.
Below this sign was a small placard
which read:
Recruits wanted for the Philippines.
He glanced swiftly up and down
the street, as if ashamed Of what he
was going to do. But no one was
watching him, and he slipped into the
building, and climbed carefully UP q
flight of creaky stairs.
The door of the recruiting ONCE was
open, and young officer was writing
at q desk. He glanced up hastily as
he heard the sound of footsteps in the
room.

1t was well into the middle of the
summer before Carew was discharged
from the isolated building in which the
out-patients were confined and pro-
moted to the convalescent ward On
pleasant days he was strapped in an
invalid's chair and trundled over the
closely cropped lawn; and when his at
tendant became too indolent for this
exercise, he was left under wide
spreading maple. where he lay back
cnntentedly, watching the blue patches
of sky that showed between the
branches, listening to the chatter of
sparrows and the strident minstrelsy
of midsummer insects. II had been a
long and gallant struggle against the
ravages of yellow fever, but Carew's
naturally vigorous constitution won
the fight Wind and sun medcined
him back gradually to health. and with
each day he felt an improvement in
his strength. The blood welled slowly
into the shrunken veins and arteries,
bringing color to his drawn face like
the sap that brings the green back t4
the trees in the spring.
With the return of health came the
old desire to take part again the af-
