crowd. He was himself no loser, but
the Bishops had lost their all. How
could he break the news to theml Pres
emily he began to hope family that old
Bishop might within the last week have
drawn out ut least part OF the money,
but that hope was soon discarded, for
he remembered that the old man was
waiting to invest the greater part Of
the deposit in some Shoal Creek cotton
mill stock which had been promised
him IN few weeks. No; the hope was
groundless Alan his father, Mrs.
Bishop and-Adele.
Miller's heart sank down into the
very ooze Of despair. All that he had
done for Adele's people and which had
reused her deepest, tenderest gratitude
was swept away. What would she
think now?
Ills train of thought was rudely bro
ken by an oath from Barnett, who
with the rage Of mailman suddenly
threw his shoulder against the door.
There was a crash. a groan of bursting
timber and breaking bolts, and the
door flew open. For one instant Miller
saw the ghastly face and covering
form Of the old banker behind the wire
grating. and then. with scream Of
terror, Craig ran into a room in the
rear and thence made his escape at a
door opening on the side street. The
mob filled the bank and did not dis
cover Craig's escape for minute;
then, with howl Of rage, 1t surged
back into the street. Craig was ahead
Of them. running toward the church,
where prayer meeting was being held,
the tails OF his long frock coat flying
behind him, his worn silk hat In his
convulsfye grasp.
THAR he goes!' yelled Barnett. And
he led the mob after him, all running
at the top Of their speed without real
izing why they werc doing So They
gained on the fleeing banker, and Bar
nett could almost touch him when they
reached the church. With cry Of
fear. like that of wild animal brought
to bay, Craig sprang up the steps and
ran into the church. crying and groan-
ing for help.
A dozen men and women and chill
dren We're kneeling at the altar to get
the benefit Of the prayers OF the min
listers and the congregation. but they
stood up IN alarm, some Of them with
wet faces.
