The God of Luck


bitterly, he wrote scathing note
to his employer. 1t was such men
as he. he said. that drove honest
men to crime. He posted both let
tiers and retired to bed. They
would not arrive till Monday.
At 8 o'clock. on his way to the
depot, he purchased paper. A
black headline arrested his atten.
ton. His band had caught fire on
the preceding evening, owing to a
defective wire, and had been COM
pletely Quilted.
- Swift after the shock came his
remorse. He had not dared turn
from his course the night before;
now he bittely regretted that des-
perate action. His theft would not
be discovered for days, perhaps
weeks There was still time. Me-
chemically he retraced his footsteps
to the New York platform. An
hour later he was hurrying franti-
cally homeward. That evening he
was back in the city again.
He did not dare go to his house,
but went to a hotel His mind was
in a whirl, his purpose undecided.
Something that stirred in the
depths of his consciousness seemed
to hold out hope for him. What
was it? Suddenly a light flashed
into his brain. He mad written
those letters; he had burned his
boats behind him. That to his wife
he could intercept at their home;
but that to the banker had been
addressed to the mans private resi-
dence. He could not hope to stop
the mail
But at least he would spare his
wife the shock. Next morning he
crept softly into the hall and took
the letters from the box. But the
one he had written had not arrived.
Well, it mattered little. He was
resolved now to face it out. Per
haps he would merely be dis
charged, not prosecuted, if he
brought back the bills. An hour
later he was at his employers
house prepared for a confession.
Upon the table was the morning pa
per. He picked it up and glanced
over it idly. There had been a big
railroad disaster near Bound Brook,
Two trains had collided; one was
completely wrecked and the cars
set on fire-the cars-the mail car
every sack had been totally con-
sumed!
His head was Keeling, and he did
not notice the banker enter .until

BY HAROLD CARTER.

The assistant cashier left the
presidents room silently. His head
was bowed, but his fingers witch
ed nervously at the lapels of his
coat.
1t is no easy matter to live with
in ones means in New York city on
$50 a week, especially when ones
wife is recovering from a long and
expensive illness Wargrave was
at the end of his tether. His cred
itors were threatening him daily,
and he had had recourse daily to
money lenders, whose installments
ate up almost one-third of his sal
airy. And now the president had
refused him the paltry raise he
had asked for. Fifteen hundred
dollars was needed to re-establish
his position.
Fifteen hundred! Why. thous-
ands passed through his hands
each working day.
You've had such bad luck all
along" said his wife, that evening.
Its bound to change. Good luck
will come with rush. 1t always
does"
He laughed in the bitterness of
his soul. Let it come or not, his
mind was made up. He would
steal what was denied him as a
right. With Sunday at his disposal
he could put thousands of miles be-
tween himself and the law. Then
he would write to May. She would
come to him, and together they
could begin life anew, side by side.
At noon Saturday he calmly
slipped $4,000 in bills into the grip
he had brought to the bank with
him under the pretense that he was
going away for over the weekend.
This part at least was true. He
had decided on his location, a little
mountain town in West Virginia,
where none would suspect him. He
would stay there until the hue and
cry had died away-then slip out of
the country. He had told his wife
that he was going to run out of
town to visit friend; he could
write her from Philadelphia.
He reached Philadelphia that
evening. The train to Waynesboro
did not start till the following
morning. No one would guess that
that was his destination. He pen
