thereby prove Il legitimate benefit to
him. tAere seemed no prospect that
the bank could resume operations, and
If the depositors in the end realized
20 cents on the dollar they would be
fortunate. Notwithstanding the fact
that everybody had considered the in
stitution substantial there were not a
few wiseacres who called Brewster a
fool and were so unreasonable as to
say that he did not know how to han
die money. He heard that Miss Drew
in particular was bitterly sarcastic in
referring to his stupidity.
This failure caused a tremendous
furry in banking circles. 1t was but
natural that questions concerning the
stability of other banks should be ask
ed, and it was not long before many
wild, disquieting reports were atloat.
Anxious depositors rushed into the
big banking institutions and then rush
cd out again, partially assured that
there was no danger. The newspapers
sought to allay the fears of the peo-
pie, but there were many to whom
fear became panic. There were short,
wild runs on some of the smaller
banks, but all were in a fair way to
restore confidence when out came the
rumor that the Bank of Manhattan Is
land was in trouble. Colonel Prentiss
Drew, railroad magnate, was the presi-
dent of this bank.
When the bank opened for business
on the Tuesday following the failure
there was a stampede of frightened
depositors. Before II o'clock the run
had assumed ugly proportions, and no
amount of argument could stay the on
slaught. Colonel Drew and the direct
ors, at first mildly distressed and then
seeing that the affair had become Sc
riOus, grew more alarmed than they
could afford to let the public see. The
loans of all of the banks were unusu-
ally large. Incipient runs on some had
put all of them in an attitude of eau
ton, and there was a natural reluc-
tance to expose their own interests to
jeopardy by coming to the relief of
the Bank of Manhattan Island.
Monty Brewster had something like
$780, 600 in Colonel Drew's bank. He
would not have regretted on his own

ant, no longer the cold man of the
the thought of his quarrel with Bar
bara and of her heartlessness. A
scratch of the pen n way or the 9th
er could change the life of Barbara
Drew. The two bankers stood by,
scarcely breathing. From outside came
the shuttle of many feet and the muf-
Led roll of voices. Again the door to
the private office opened and Il clerk
eXcitedly motioned for Mr.. Moore to
hurry to the front of the bank. Moore
paused irresolutely, his eyes on Brew
ster's face. The young mar knew the
time had come when he must help or
deny them.
Like a flash the situation was made
clear to him, and his duty was plain.
He remembered that the Bank of Man
haitian Island held every dollar that
Mrs. Gray and Peggy possessed. Their
meager fortune had been intrusted to
the care of prentiss Drew and his as
sociates, and it was in danger.
Il will do all l can, colonel" said
Monty. but upon one condition"
THAT isl
Barbara must never know of this"
The ~colonel's gasp of establishment
was cut short as Monty continued,
promise that she shall eve know
81 don't understand, but if it is your
wish 1 promise"
Inside of half an hours time several
hundred thousand came to the relief
of the struggling bank, and the man
who had come to watch the run with
curious eyes turned out to be its say
ior. His money won the day for the
Bank of Manhattan Island. When the
happy president and directors offered
to pay him an astonishingly high rate
of interest for the use of the money
he proudly declined.
The next day Miss Drew issued i'll
vitations for a cotillon. Mr.. Mont
gomery Brewster was not asked to at
tend.

A L true he received an eleventh
hour invitation and a very cold and diff

maintained heroically the air of dis
dain that had succeeded the first
sharp pangs of disappointment. Colo
mel Drew, in whose good graces Monty
had firmly established himself, was
not quite guiltless of usurping the role
of dictator in the effort to patch up Il
truce. A few nights before the CO.
tillon, when Barbara told him that
Herbert Alling was to lead, he eX-
plosively expressed surprise. why

responded calmly.

"What's this?'
"He has not been asked, father" Miss
Drew was not in good humor.

amazement. ITS ridiculous, Babs.
Send him an invitation at once"
This is my dance, father, and l
don't want to ask Mr.. Brewster"
The colonel sank back in his chair
and struggled to overcome his anger.

covered that it was best to treat her
with tact.

Y was while Brewster was in the
depths of despair that his tinan-
cial affairs had Il windfall. One
Il of the banks in which his money
was deposited failed, and his balance
of wei 100000 was wiped out. Mis-
management was the cause, and the
collapse came on Friday, the 18th
day of the month. Needless to say, it
destroyed every vestige of the super
stition he may have had regarding
Friday and the number thirteen.

Brick" Cannot he Used on Ac.
count Of ordinance.
This Il Opinion of Solictor----Brick
Question 10 re Settled A.
Once.
CONTRACT THEN BE SIGNED

Solicitor Ed Puryear Is OF the
opinion that no brick can be used in
reconstructing South Third street. as
the ordinance under which the spec
lications we're prepared. and the con
tract awarded. specifies paving
block" and there is some difference
between paving block and brick.
There Is a great variety of street
paving material, and some Is called
brick" and some paving block"
There is slight difference. the
block" being larger. with about A.
TO the square yard, and the brick
with 50 to the square yard.
The board of works noted that the
ordinance specified paving block"
ana not "brick." and asked the So
licitor for an opinion aud he stated
this morning that he .did not think
any brick" at all could be used on
South Third street on account of the
perhaps unintentional wording of the
ordinance.
There will be very little difference.
however. Several different companies
make both block" and brick" and
some make only the block. The Ev-
ansville brick company makes no
block" so IL will he out of the run
ming in the contest for furnishing
the material.
The board of works had fully in
tended to have South Third street
paved with block" as far as Nor
ton street, and the remainder to
Broad with brick.
Under the opinion OF the solicitor,
however, IL will have to pave the
whole street with block, as the diff
ference between "block" and brick
in case any property owner should
want to contest payment for his part
of the street Improvement. might be
a technically sufficient ia lose the
case for the city or contractor.
The matter will doubtless be set
tied at a called meeting of the coun-
ellmanic board. and the Kind OF
block" definitely decided on.
Contractor Bridges. of Wabash,
Ind, will be here tomorrow to sign
the contract.
Mayor Yeiser stated this afternoon
