Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn smiling face upon her,

The other remarkable case III tell

I got onto the wind-up first. then the

happened. Back in 1885 or 1886. when
l was working for a St Louis agency.
a very decent kind of a man-call him
Mr.. Clark for short-was cashier OF
the principal bank in a good-sized
nearby town. Country cashiers get
mighty small pay. and although Clark
had been in service almost from boy
hood and was then a middle-aged man,
with big family on his hands. he was
drawing only $500 a year. Naturally
he was very anxious to lay by some
thing for a rainy day. One of the
customers of the bank at that time
was a Colonel Patterson. manager of
the local opera house. President Of
two or three land companies and an
all-around hustler and good fellow.
Patterson had beer only a few years
in town. but he was one of those men
who will drop into a small, sleepy
place and take the community by
storm. He was a big, iovial chap of
the silk hat and solitaire shirt stud
type and il was generally supposed
that he had doodles of money. Clark
who was a shy simple-minded man,
admired him immensely and went out
of his way to do him small favors.
In return, the Colonel took him aside
one day and offered to let him in on
a st. Louis gas stock deal that prom
ised to be a big thing. Clark mort
gagged his house, raised few hundred
gave his note for six hundred more,
and went in. About two weeks later
Patterson came to the bank in a tre-
mendous rush and asked for a state
ment of his account.
Like all spectators. he sometimes
had a very large balance and some
times nearly nothing, and on that
particular occasion his was less than
a thousand. The deuce!' he said. I'm

ing day, and. to make a long story
short. the cashier paid the draft and
made a private ticket of the amount.
Patterson didn't return, and in a
week his disappearance was the SEN
sation Of the town.
Il will leave you to imagine Clark's
feelings the old detective went on.
The thing was so incredible that at
first he couldn't perceive it; other
wise he would probably have made a
clean breast of the draft affair at
once. But he was confident that the
Colonel would turn up and explain
everything. and so he concealed the
shortage from day to day until it was
past explaining. Strange to say. no.
body else had suffered through Patter-
sons abrupt departure, but everything
he had prove TO be involved up to the
hilt, and he had left nothing behind
worth taking. With that it dawned
upon Clark that he was struck ire
vocably for the $4,000 deficit on the
draft and then began season of
martyrdom that must have been in
hnitely worse than death. Had II
not been for his family | am satisfied
he would have taken the short cut
out of the dilemma by putting a bullet
through his brains, but he couldn't
stand the idea Of leaving them in
pauperism and disgrace. and. like
many another man in desperate
straits. he started in upon a systemat-
ic course of concealment. hoping
against hope that some miracle would
happen to enable him to make good
the shortage. He kept that up for
over five, years. Exactly how he did
1t is of no special instance. II was a
small bank. and ne had complete run
of its affairs, so making false entries
and carrying fictitious balances over
from day to day was comparatively
easy. but the frightful part of it was
the mental strain and the knowledge
that some slight slip might at any
lead to discovery.
"Of course, he made desperate ef-
forts to save, and his meanness be-
came proverbial, but fate seemed

for about that time he called at a
restaurant near the railroad station,
and leaving a large valise with the
