ey to the steamer wharf. and I'll have
1t here inside of an hour"
DO you mean it, demanded her
father. More than once Molly had ex-
tricated him from an embarrassment.
Il do" she declared. Five minutes
later she was speeding out of the bank
past the growing line of depositors.
Burton Ashley was waiting for her
at the corner with his auto painting at
the curb. Jump in and take me down
to the boathouse.v she cried. sI'll ex-
plain on the way down"
As the machine sped over the smooth
road she explained the situation to
Burt Osange, where the surplus cash
of the First National was on deposit,
was eight miles across the lake, but 1t
was an eighty mile run by railroad on
account of the dip of the lake. The
only hope for the First National lay In
the motor boat.
1t was not long before Burton was
ready for the trip, and the trim little
craft was speeding across the lake at a
twenty mile speed in spite Of the chop
py waves through which rowboat
would have labored ponderously.
Burt had all of the power on, and
the tiny craft trembled with the heavy
vibrations, but forged ahead, pushing
her way through the rough water as If
aware that her own reputation and
Burt's happiness depended upon her
work
They were met at the Osange wharf
by very much astonished clerk, who
was assisted by two policemen In
guarding pile of bags and bundles.
A few words of explanation. the
transfer Of the receipt and the boat
was loaded for the return trip.
1t was harder work returning, for
there was weight to carry, but Burt
forced the boat ahead at full speed, un-
mindful of the occasional wave he
shipped. A clock on the rail before
him told him that he was making time.
and he forged ahead.
The spectacle of Burt Ashley draw
ing up to the curb in front Of the bank
In his red automobile, accompanied by
Molly Langdon, whose trim spring cos
tune was in odd contrast to his water
splashed bathing suit, was a sight suf
fciently strange to draw from their
places In line the more curious of the
depositors. The sight of the bundles
Of coin and bills being carried into the
bank was still more efficaclous in sup
pressing the run, and twenty minutes
later the bank was empty save for the
occasional depositor.
In the presidents room Burt sat in
one of the leather chairs. "And that
was how 1t was DONE" he concluded.
''twenty-four minutes going, twenty
eight for the return trip and the rest
of the time was on the road or spent in
slowing the cash"
John Langdon rose awkwardly from
his chair. Il think June is a good
month for weddings" he said irrele-
vanity.
Burt and Molly agreed with him.

HEAVY VIBRATIONS, BUT FORGED AHEAD.
with looking after these interests and
devoted the rest Of his time to his au-
tomobile and his motor boat.
The boat was the first one on the
lake, and to the people in the little
town of Avondale it seemed the height
of extravaganza to have spent several
thousand dollars upon the shell-like
craft with the high power engines.
That John Langdon. practically the
owner Of the First National bank,
should have shared this belief was In
applicable to Burton. The banker
should have had greater breadth
The week that followed was exceed
ingly miserable for Burt. He saw but
little of Molly Langdon, and those in
terviews were too fearful to be pleas
ant Molly was dutiful daughter and
would not consent to marriage with
out her fathers approval, and yet her
coaxing was OF no avail when she
preached the subject to her parent.
To make matters worse, there were
rumors that the bank was not altogeth

the bank was solvent, but he was I'M

Ashley's interview. Molly went to the
