On certain morning in February the
bank clerks were all busy in their de-
partments, at about ten o'clock, when
one named Cavaillon suddenly raised the
warning cry:
Here comes the cashier!
Prosper Bertomy, the head cashier OF
shs bank. was a tall, handsome man OF
about thirty, with fair hair and large,
sark blue eyes, scrupulously neat and
dressed in the fashion.
"Ah. here you arev' cried Cavaillon.
asome one has just been asking for you.
'sWho? The iron manufacturer, was 1t
sotP Well, he will come back again.
Knowing that [ would come late this
morning, I made all my arrangements
yesterday"
Prosper had unlocked his Office door,
and, as he finished speaking, entered and
closed it behind him.
"Isookw exclaimed one Of the clerks,
"there is a man who sits up all night,
and doesn't feel like going to work early
IN the morning. Did you notice how
very pale he looked when he came inr
A moment later the cashroom door
suddenly opened and the teller appeared
before them with tottering step and
haggard look on his ashy face.
'Robbed!" he gasped, his Mortified ex-
preston. hollow voice and trembling lips
betraying such fearful suffering that the
clerks jumped up from their desks and
ran toward him. They gathered round
and begged him to explain.
SAN the cash in the safe has been
faken," said Bertomy, as soon as he had
recovered; three packets each OF one
Hundred thousand franc notes, and one or
Afty thousand-all four done up in one
paper wrapper, tied and sealed"
With the swiftness of lightning the
aews had spread, and the main room was
crowded with the inquisitive. AS Caval-
lon was about to run and tell the Banker,
he arrived, having already been notihed.

Inclined to stoutness, medium i'll helght,

agitated him, for his usually horid face
was pale.

Prosper drew himself to his full height,
and, looking NJ. Fauvel square in the
face, added:
'Or you"
The banker made a threatening ges-
sare, and there is no knowing what
would have happened if they had not
