he submitted to questions from the
audience. These were slow in COM

bombardment
Somebody wanted to know how
the securities stood, and Mr. Shaw
said that the bank could lose $780,
900 more and still break even. This
was, of course, on the proposition OF
the stock market going up They
wanted to know where the advantage
lay in appointing Mackenzie re-
ceiver, without bonds, and having
receiver appointed who would give
bonds and be answerable to the
court. To this Shaw replied that
Mr.. Mackenzie was not going into
the bank as receiver. He would be
made president, and would appoint
as directors local men in the town
where each agency exists Ultimate
ly the chain of banks would be
broken, and they would all become
separate national institutions, with
the exception, perhaps, of the Man
haitian and Blair branches, which
would probably be discontinued AS
far as Mackenzie putting up bonds,
was he not going to put up $15O,000
in N hA Irhr
bank at Goldfield?
rs there anything to stop Mac
kenzie from dominating the banks
as Rickey did," was asked. rs there
anything to prevent him from SELL
days?"
do you mean is there anything
to stop Mackenzie from turning pir-
ate. replied Shaw. We'll there
will be the board of directors at each
bank, and you don't suppose that
they will all become felons.
What is Mackenzie's business?
was asked.
He is mine operator.

There were present at the meet
ing about two hundred depositors,
and Chairman Shaw of the Rehabili-
tation Committee explained that Sam
Plat, United States District Attor-
ney and Cashier Davis of the State
Bank and Trust Company, were alb
sent for the reason that there had
been break down of the automobile
which brought the party from Gold
field. The mishap occurred about
four miles out of town, and Mr.. Shaw
hiked the rest or the way into town.
Mr.. Shaw explained that Hickey
was in no wise connected with. the
present movement, which had for its
purpose the signing of an agreement
by the depositors, which would give
the control to Donald Mackenzie,
who was the only one of the deposit
tors who had been found willing to
undertake the reorganization of the
affairs of the bank, by putting up
the guarantee that the promises of
Hickey would be carried out.
Personally, | have no use for
President Hickey" said Mr.. Shaw,
II knew him best ~when | punched
cows for him in Mono county seven
years ago, when | learned that he
was a man thoroughly unworthy of
trust. We have nothing to do with
the prosecution that has been inaug-
urated, except that if We can aid it
in any way, our services are at the
command of the prosecution. be-
lieve that there are honest men con-
nected with the bank, who are in
no wise responsible for the present
that the law is reaching in the right
direction"

events of the stockholders at Car

dent Rickey in anything but an en-
viable light. He said that he went

At sight of Micah the children came

joining in the merriment, turned round
and shouted also. He even tripped a

THE SOBRIETY OF
MICAH DODGE
By WALTER RAYMOND
(Copyright.)

(Copyr1ght)
When Miss Georgina Prowse had
taken but some half dozen steps on
the broad path within the iron en-
trance gates, she stopped and gazed
with close attention upon the great
building before her.
Miss Georgina Prowse was the new
lady member who had but recently
been elected to a seat upon the board
Of THE House."
1t was early in the summer, and two
aged paupers were wedding a border
before the door. Another, the eldest
of the three, was cleaning away the
grass from the edge of the path, but
he stopped and leaned upon his hoe to
look at her. Miss Georgina Prowse
advanced, then stopped again to speak
to him.
Good afternoon" said she. 1T is
very pleasant here in the SUM-
The old man stood upright as we'll
as he was able, for he was bow-leggsd
from his trade and bent in the back.
There's nothing the matter wi the
sun, that know off," drawled he, shad-
ing his eyes to take a glance at the
heavens.
What is your Nance"
micah Dodge"
well, Micah, there is nothing the
matter with you. Is there?" smiled
the lady guardian.
Il don't know" growled he, for
at this question his one perpetual
grievance arose in the old mans mind.
Then, Micah, if you don't know. it
is clearly impossible that anyone else
can"
At this, Micah, as he afterwards
fully explained to his fellow-inmates,
up and spoke
well, ma'am," said he, 81 do call it
a very wrong thing that I can't go
out. Not a foot have I set on t. other
side o the garden-wall, not for so
much as errand, not since the sum.
mer afore last. IT'S very hard
thing, and no mistake. A man, ma am,
is not calf or pig, to be penned up
all his time. He do want to walk out
round for his recreation An l do
most terrible want to go across and
look at Liddleston once more, for
that's where was born and bred. do
long to see the old place again. l do
want to see Bill Adams and Tommy
Platt. and old Uncle Gregory and one
or two more. 'Tis but three mile over
the hill if had but day out could
walk over and spend an hour and walk
back if 'twere only of an afternoon. /"
At that moment o. tall figure came
into the doorway. The approach of
Miss Georgina Prowse had been Oh.
ter promptly fetched.
Miss Georgina Prowse passed hur.
riedly on.
The incident worried her. 1t Ger.
tainly seemed hard that Micah Dodge
was not allowed an occasional day to
go to Liddleston. All the while that
she was being shown over the house
this thought was in her mind It made
her ear alert to every word the work
house master muttered. They came
again to the door when her visit was
at an end.
DO these old people sometimes
have holiday, for instance? Or to
see their friends?"
Some Of them now and then" said
ne and laughed. But see old Micah
has been airing his grievance. He's
'ery angry with me because won't
give him leave. But there are none of
