tom of the bag and put the gold on top."
 "All of ltT'
 Every dollar"
 "Go on"
 "When I got the coal and the gold in the bag and had tied a string around the top cut a slit in the bag near the gold over which held my hand. Then I called a cab got in with the treasure and drove to the Henderson bank. When l reached it 1 sent in for some one to come ont and carry it inside. The crowd watched the clerk take the bag from me, and as l handed it to him I took my hand away from the slit 1 had cut in it, and out rolled half a dozen gold pieces
 "The crowd set ID a shout, and, hur- rying the clerk into the bank, l picked up the pieces on the pavement-that is, all ] could lind. l think l must have lost something like five half ca gles. or $25."
 "AD investment worth S25,OOOr' I exclaimed.
 "As 1 went into the bank to take receipt for the funds there was an- other shout, and noticed a number of persons leave the line"
 I threw my arms about Molly's neck and kissed her.
 There was a call at the telephone. It was Redfed.
 "That wife of yours," he said, liar more than the gold she brought has saved me. We have counted a dozen deposltors whose accounts would az gregate $3O,OOO leave the line. The gold wouldn't have been enough. It was the coal that did it"
 told Molly that had had some very large amounts drawn during the day and if there was as much cash called for on the morrow I would surely go under.
 The next morning 1 was mortified at seeing a line of unIntelligent depos- itors before my bank waiting for the doors to open. thought l could stand the run for that day, and l did, but the next as early as II o'clock our funds had been so reduced that l knew we could not'keep paying till the clos ing hour.
 The morning Journals had given an account of my wlfe's arrival at Red fields bank with bag of gold and of the effect 1t had produced. This help ed me a good deal, but it seemed that every depositor l had in the lower walks of life was in line. It was half past 2, and our pile had been reduced to S2OO Despite the delays practiced by the receiving teller to gain time l knew it would not hold out for the re- maining half hour
 At twcnty-ninc minutes to 8 Mol Iy drove up to the bank with a sack and called for some one to carry 1t into the bank l rushed out. seized it and ran with it into the bank amid the plaudits of the crowd When l got 1t Into my private office and opened It. hoping that Molly had effected loan, I was shocked to see nothing but nut coal.
 But her rusc was effective. Some of those in the lne, having deposits which for their clrss were quite large, on seeing her carry in a bag, suppOs- Ing that she was repeating her act of the day before, left the line, leaving those near the window whose accounts were very small When the clock struck 8 and the window was closed there was lut SIP In the bank
 But meanwhile RedfcId had got in his loan and the next morning return. ed sufficient of what had sent him to carry nc jnrough As soon as all dan ger had pissed he had thc%atitude to tell tl. story of how he hSd been say ed. a.G while Molly became a heroine, ! pro .od in emoluments.
