Are you crazy?"

you what hayA discovered. since l

you have been an inveterate Wall
street gambler for the last ten years.
1t wasn't hard to do that; the brokers
keep list OF every out-of.town trader
they do business with. You had been
trading under the name Of .Travers.
but your broker knew Who you were.
He had looked you up. You were
fairly lucky for an outsider until last
June. Then your losses began to pile
up steadily. A month ago you owed
$4,000. and had to make it good or be
exposed. You did make It good. You
did mako 1t good-out Of that vault
back there. n
"Yod hoped to cover that loan you
made yourself 60 that nobody ever
would be the wiser for it. You hoped
to put it back; they all do. But. like
most Of them in the same fix, you
found that you couldn't do It. Then.
you began to look around for some
means OF covering up your crime. In
your dilemma you thought Of certain
man who had left this town as o boy,
who had gone to the bad. and whom
you had helped-I give you credit for
q good heart. Giles-at svarious inter
walls when he needed 1t. You thonght
Of him. You got him to come here.
You told him what you wanted done;
you wanted tie 1afd blown and rVbbes-
You promised that you would give him
half of the big sum that you said was
inside-and which should have been
inside.
But you knew you were playing
with fire in taking this criminal in us
your confederate in SO dastardly q
crime as robbing your own bank. You
needed to have that safe blown-to
have 1t appear that the bank had been
looted Of $s5.0O0-but you couldn't af-
ford to let criminal live and know
your secret. So you loaded that vault
before you locked 1t the evening be-
fore the robbery. You did that-only
you could have done it-because yon
