AN OPERATION IN MONEY

On Monday there was special
meeting Of the directors for the pur-
pose Of examining the books and &C.
counts Of the bank. The bank comp
troller was expected to call for an
exhibit within the coming week. The
accounts of the tellers were passed
upon, the cashiers books were looked
over, as were also those of the regu-
lar bookkeepers. There seemed to be
no errors, and the contents of the
safes were proved There was per
feet order in all the departments The
clerks were complimented. Now,
said Fields to himself, is my oppor-
tunity.'
On the next day at 10 o'clock the
directors again assembled-this time
for their regular labors-to examine
the proposals for discount.
The day happened 10 ne cold and
stormy The twenty clerks were bust
ly and silently at work behind theiI
counters and gratings and the four
teen directors were shut tight il
their mahogany room. There was bu
little passing to and fro from The
street, though now and then a hall
frozen messenger came stamping in
and did his errand, with benumbet
fingers, through the little windows
The tempest made business light.

All at once Fields came to the door
He was met with a gladness that
was only too perceptible. Every gen
tleman emitted a sigh of relief, and
half started as if to cake the deli
quent by the hand.
Fields was shrewd enough to act
before the feeling had evaporated.
He advanced to the table. The III.
rectors FASTENED to take their accus
toned places. They bent upon the
teller's face the most anxious looks.

the fact that most men would endure,

years rather than lose the control OF

The directors fastened to signify
"Yes!"

eral large envelopes from his inner
pockets, 81 shall be content with less.
There is the sum l mentioned"
The directors fell upon the packages
and counted their contents. The table
was strewn with money. Fields con
templated the scene with curiosity
Presently it was announced that the
sum was complete.
Now, gentlemen" said Fields, you
have suffered loss have 100000,
which l have forced you to present to
me with. An instants reflection Will
show you that none of you would be
proof against strong temptation. For
the sake of recovering a sum OF
money you have compounded with
felony. All of you are at this moment
in breach of the law. You have sub

honor which you demand in me does
not exist in yourselves. Perhaps

Every director arose to his feet il

upon the table and, in face of the as
tonished board, left the apartment.

directors room. The boy who car
ried it knocked softly, and the presi-
dent appeared, took the letter, and
then closed the door .again.
Then there was moment of almost
total silence; the clerks wrote, the
leaves ratified, and it seemed as If it
were an instant before an expected
explosion.
Presently an explosion came. The
clerks heard with establishment a tu-
multi in the directors room-eXclama-
tions, hurried questions, the hasty
rolling of chairs on their casters, and
then the sound of feet
The door was hastily drawn open,
and those who were near could see
that nearly all the directors were
clustered around it, straining their
eyes to look at the paying teller. Most
of them were pale and they called
in one voice: Come here!" Come in
here at once" "Fields!" Mr. Fields!"
Sir, you are wanted" Fields put
down his pen, opened the tall iron
gate which separated him from the
counters, and walked rather quickly
toward the den of lions. An opening
was made for him in the group, and
he passed through the 0door, and ii
was shut once more.

directors the enormity of the outrage
