Joy to the heart of every dealer In an

He gave much thought to the matter
In the effort to secure many small ar

his endeavor was that many friends
who would not have thought Of remem-
bering Monty with even card were
pleasantly surprised ON Christmas eve.
As 1t turned out, he Jared very well
in the matter Of gifts, and for some
days much Of his time was spent in
reading notes of profuse thanks which
were yet vaguely apologize. The Grays
and Mrs. Dan had remembered him
with an agreeable lack OF ostentatlon,
and some of the Little Sons OF the
Rich who had kept one evening a
fortnight open for the purpose of ''us-
Ing up their meal tickets" at Monty's
were only too generously grateful
Miss Drew had forgotten him. and
when they met after the holiday her
recognition was of the coolest. He haG

Inside of half an hours time several

CHAPTER MIL

VT was while Brewster was In the
1 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 over 100000 was wiped out Mis-
management was the cause, and the
collapse came on Friday. TIE 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.
Brewster had money deposited in
Eve banks, transaction inspired by
the wild hope that one Of them might
some day suspend operations and
thereby prove Il legitimate benefit Il
him. There seemed 40 prospect thal
the bank could resume operations. ana

fortunate Notwithstanding the facr
that everybody had considered the In
stitution substantial there were not 6
few wiseacres who called Brewster
fool and We're 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 tremendous
furr,' in banking circles. 1t was but
natural that questions concerning the
stability of other banks should be ask
ed. and ii was not long before many
wild disquieting reports We're atioat

sought to allay the fears OF the peo-
Pile. but there were many to whom

villa iuns on some of the smaller
banks, but all were in a fair way to
restore confidence when ont 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 IL o'clock the run
had assumed ugly proportions, and no
amount of argument could stay the on

ors. at first mildly distressed and then
seeing that the affair had become Sc

could afford to let the public see. The
bans of oil of the banks were unusu-

put all of them in an attitude Of eau

lance to expose their own interests to
jeopardy by coming to the relief Of

ingly Brewster was summoned to head
quarters the next morning for the pur-
pose Of looking over the suspects"
that had been brought In. Almost the
first man that he espied was q rough
looking fellow whose identity could not
be mistaken. 1t was Bill.
Hello. Bill" called Monty gayly.
Bill ground his teeth for q second, but
his eyes had such an appeal in them
that Monty relented.
You know this fellow, Mr.. Brew
ster?" demanded the captain quickly.
Bill looked utterly helpless.
"Know Blll?" questioned Monty In
surprise. "Of course do, captain"
HE was picked up late last night
and detained because he would give no
account Of his actions"
"Was 1t as bad as that, Bill?' asked
Brewster, with a smile. Bill mumbled
something and assumed look of def
ance. Monty's attitude puzzled him
sorely. He hardly breathed for an in
slant and gulped perceptibly.
'Pass Bill, captain. He was with me
last night just before my money was
taken, and he couldn't possibly have
robbed me without my knowledge.
Wait for me outside, Bill. l want to
talk to you. I'm quite sure neither of

Brewster after Bill had obeyed the or

WHERE FEDERAL CASH GOES
Statement by Mr.. Tawney Regarding
Appropriations Voted by Last
Session Of Congress.

Washington, July 3.-Representa.
tive Tawney, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, has pre-
pared detailed statement concern
ing the appropriations for the fiscal
year beginning July I, 1906, made by
congress during the session just
closed, in which he claims that the
per capita cost of the government of
the United States, including federal
and state, is less than in any Eu-
ropean state.
nAr. Tawney enters upon an analysis
to show the various channels into
which the total appropriation of $780,
183,301 will be diverted. He begins by
deducting S139,456,415 provided for
the sinking fund, the Panama canal,
etc., showing that the real appropria-
ton for the conduct of the govern
ment for the fiscal year is $74O,726,-
$50. To meet this demand he esti-
mates that the total revenues (cus-
toms, internal and postaD will be
$7S1,573,364.

Banks.

st. Paul-Private banks are becom-
ing state banks at the rate of almost
two week, and it is predicted that
before the next legislature meets there
will hardly be a private bank in the
state. The last legislature failed to
pass any law eliminating the private
bank from the banking system of the
state. There was strong opposition to
the enactment of any such legislation,
but as conditions have since developed
there was really no need for such
legislation and the private banks are
gradually reorganizing as state banks.

BALLAST WILL BE GOLD ORE
Railroad in Mexico Will Be Anchored
with Rock Of Great
~ Value.

Mexico.-The Eastern railway Of
Mexico will be ballasted with gold
ore between Texico and Rio Puerto,
distance of 270 miles. This ballast
rock is obtained from the gravel bed
adjacent to the new line of the road.
Repeated assays have shown that
the ballast runs upwards of two dol
lars in gold to the ton. About 1850
tons of rock are used to the mile,
making the value of the gold $4,000
to each mile Of road, or $2,430,00O for
the 270 miles. The gold values in the
rock are not sufficient to make it a
mining proposition, but passengers
will ride over the most valuable piece

Spoiled Lawyers Fine Plea.

During the first hearing of the famous
Crocker will case in the supreme court,
before Judge Lathrop and a jury, there
were many interesting and amusing tits
between the eminent counsel engaged in
the case-Robert M. Morse for contes-
tants of the will, and Col. Joseph H. Ben
ton, Jr, for the executors.
Perhaps at no time during the hearing,
however, was there any better exhibition
of wit than in the summing up of counsel
before the jury. At one point Col Ben.
ton was trying to impress upon the jury
that the expression 'old TOOL" alleged to
have been used by one of the interested
parties, might reasonably be construed
as term of endearment.
For example," explained Col Benton,
king Lear called his fond daughter,
my dear pretty fool. "
Here he waited a moment to let the
point sink into the minds of the jury.
Judge Lathrop, however, who had been
listening with intense interest, leaned
forward in his chair and dryly remarked:
But, Mr.. Benton, King Lear was
crazy, wasn't he?
"Well your honor, that's a mooted
question: was all that the confused at
torney could reply, and even this was
almost smothered by the mirthful out
burst in the court room, in which the
opposing counsel, Mr.. Morse, Joined
most heartily.
