MT. Bigelow should know" replied the clerk, significantly.
 Questioned by the surprised director, who thought the matter trivial, the clerk said:
 T was told to enter the amounts of our cash accounts in the Chicago banks. It was part of my duty. As sistant Cashier Henry Coll stopped me and said he would attend to 1t. MT. Coll has taken charge of other work of mine and changed entries. MT. Bige- low has turned certain other men on my work
 On Saturday Pflster personally di- rected hasty examination of the books identified by the suspicious clerk.
 The false entries were quickly ap- parent. Other clerks each declared President Bigelow responsible.
 Staggered by his discovery, Pfister ran back to the presidents office, burst through the door unannounced. and

authorities of the banking world, said:
 However much prejudice there may appear to be at times against bankers, our business is of the utmost useful ness and importance and the right pur- suit of it, in its broader and better as- poets. requires all the courage and all the conservatism we can demand"
 Then he recited Robert Louis Stew enson's prayer:
 To be honest, to be kind; to earn little and to spend little less; to renounce when that shall be necessary, and not to be em- bittered; to keep few friends, but those without equalization: above all. on the same grim condition to keep friends with himself here is a task for all that man has of fortitude and delicacy.
 To-day he stands self-confessed to having done all that his utterances of last year forbade.
 Then he quoted the old lines: Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be. Now for the Reckoning. His system" has had its day and

handsome profit to boot. and that the
 heavy losses caused by the breaking of the corner and the dropping of the
 price of May wheat from $1.21h to 9811 cents, fell on the tailers whose holdings in some cases were enormous, as Is evident from the fact that one line of 100000 bushels for an outsider was bought at $1.19, nearly the maxi mum price reached. And 1t is more than likely that Bigelow was caught for a big sum, and 1t was this loss which precipitated the exposure. If John w. Gates made by the deal, there are those who are firm in the belief that Bigelow's losses helped to cover the Gates losses and leave the latter handsome margin. And so the sensational May wheat corner, which is story of fascinating interest by it. self, figures in this drama from Mil waukee. It is one of the side lights

 Yesterday he was the influential di- rector in a dozen or more different 0nancial and business concerns: to- day they are dropping his name one by one, and assuring their clientele and the public that he no longer has any connection with the business.
 Yesterday Banker Bigelow was pointed out with pride by the people of Milwaukee as one of sheir most honored and successful nnanciers: to- day as he walks the streets by virtue of a bail bond. he is pointed out as the man before whom the black walls of the grim prison are slowly rearing.

 And as we ask the questions we are reminded that Banker Bigelow is not the only one who is playing a part in lnlS SIdIlllnS uldAud- Oh AhO Seatt with him there appears at least one of the bank clerks, Henry G.

We must qualify that statement and say that iguratiyely speaking for the pur- poses of this story he appears. But the fact of the matter is that he has dis appeared. and the police in every city fin the United States and Canada are looking for him, and it is not known how much money disappeared with hin

stood excitedly confronting Bigelow at his desk.
 "Bigelow, You Are . Defaulter."
 "Bigelow, you are a defaulter!" Pnster shouted, excitedly.
 "Oh, my God" he cried. q am ruined, ruined, ruined!"
 Bigelow seemed about to faint. Neither man spoke for several mo- ments.
 q have fallen with the, grain mar ket," said Bigelow, finally. "How much?" asked Phster. "Tell me all"
 "One million two hundred thousand as we'll as I know" said Bigelow.
 Pfister rushed from the bank to his hotel and issued nasty messages sum moning every one of the bank direc- tors to a meeting in his hotel that night at eight o'clock. ! His face twitching with emotion Pfster faced the men and announced: Gentlemen, a dedication of ovel 3l,000,000 has been discovered at oul bank"
 "who is guilty!" was finally asked Frank c. Bigelow," responded Pfister, impressively. The directors were literally strucl speechless for a moment. Then sev eral expressed disbelief, aud asked what proof existed. ie7f'st "Mr. Bigelow has confessed to m' himself" declared Pfister. "He say his shortage is s1.20o, ,o0o."
 A meeting of the directors, wftl President Bigelow present. was hastil, arranged. The defaulter seemed re lieved by the discovery. and appeared i before the directors and calmly spok' his confession.
 Another story has it that William Bigelow, vice president of the loote' bank. and brother of the defaulter. ex posed the shortage. although at tn time he suspected other oflcials of tn bank instead of his brother. Bankers Save the Day.
 When the extent of the defalcatiol became known, naturally a run va started on the bank and to meet tn emergency and restore confidence more than s1o.0oo,o 900 in actua money was raised within two days t stop the run of frightened depositor and save the greatest bank of Milvau i kee from being swept from existencs The panic was stopped by the formid able array of money. but to accomplisl this there was the most remarkabl rapid assembling of cash in decades

that throws in fresh coloring and gives increased dash to the scene.
 The Lessons.
 And then the clerk that uncovered the steal. the directors that brought the transgressor face to face with his crime, the frenzied public which stormed the doors of the bank to re- cover its money. the flight of Chicago bankers with millions to the rescue of the imperiled bank, these all play their thrilling part In this remarkable drama. Such it is as 1t has been played on the stage of life. Perhaps some playwright will here catch the inspiration which will enable him to present a strong drama. whose lessons shall be the necessity of honesty and integrity, the danger of speculation. es- pecially with other peoples money. the certainty of harvest from the sowing of wild. reckless and dishonest seeds. and the absolute truth of the Divine declaration: Be sure your sin will find you out"
 Nearly s4.ooo, 900 Losses.
 The revised schedules show a total liability on the part of Mr. Bigelow of sS,277. 900. of which s1,s75.0O0 is wholly or in part secured. Of the remainder s1.110.O00 is a secondary liability on notes and bills discounted. in whi-h Bigelow figures as indorser These items are notes of the National EIec- trie company. the Grand Rapids Edi- son company and s. W. Watkins. and are evidently connected with the financing of the National Electric com pany. The balance. sls2.OO0. repre- sents unsecured loans. the largest one being an indebtedness of s1O0.000 to the Broadhead estate. of which Bige- low was executor.

 A Friends Testimony. Yet in his darkest hour . friend writes of him:
 "He was a humanitarian of the broadest type. He has made more young business men than any man in the middle west. He loved young men. He loved children. Never yet have l heard of worthy young man in busi- ness trouble being turned away by him.
 His glorious smile would give . gleam of welcome and hope to the humblest of those seeking his aid and with the smile would go the help needed. It is said here that he has started . thousand young men in husi- ness and that not one of them has failed" Has Sympathy of Many.
 Then this friend adds:
 "The law can have no pity, can make no exceptions: but you who judge this man. remember the other side: remember that there are thou sands of us whose hearts are bleeding for the man we love. for this man who has stood by us in our hours of trouble; remember this and be charitable"
 In the face of such . tribute can the psychologist answer why from Decem- Der last to April 2l of this year Frank Bibelow. day after day. connived at the falsification of the books of his bank, made an assistant cashier and possibly two bookkeepers criminals. and one of these a fugitive from justice plundered his institution for nearly Sl,5oo, 900 and then when self-con. fessed says:
