an ejaculation of surprised delight as
the mans foot touched the loose tile
and, simultaneously. the flash powders
famed from the door, leaving a
hume of hot, acid smoke behind.
"And there you have the face of
the bank thief" he chuckled. Very
ingenious indeed"
He smiled and turned away, closing
the door behind him as he resumed
his desk. For the hours of a bank
executive are known to no man save
himself. There were a few details of
the business to be righted and then a
study of the market

he went over again and again certain

Though he would have knocked
down the man who ever queried him
regarding his matrimonial judgment.
Joseph Drum flushed as he reluctant

Five thousand dollars a year!
What a huge sum it had seemed to
them both! His lips curled in q bit

year and already, within q few months
after marriage, his surplus savings
had been wiped out. his salary spent.
and he owed ten thousand dollars.

where could he hope to raise ten
thousand dollars? How could he make
the six hundred dollars in his pocket
over into a SUFFICIENT sum to start
him anew?
He pushed the tell-tale ~tabulation
hurriedly aside as Flo swept. into the
bank and sought his cage. The old
thrill Of delight swept other thoughts
aside as he reveled in the grace. the
beauty of her, drank in deep drafts
Of the intoxicating devotion that

The hours dragged their intermina-
be length across the clock dial. He
thought the hands would never point
to three. In those hours the teller
seemed to pass a lifetime. But they
finally came to an end and, before
the doors were even closed he was
upon the street, striding swiftly to-
ward a certain cigar store, which he
knew was used as q blind for the
gambling house in the rear which
Williams visited.
The gambler made explanation SIM
pie by cutting squarely to the point.
From under his brows he appraised
Drum, in that swift, incisive glance
which a faro dealer gives the players
about his bank. most keenly and de-
cisively ~appraising Of all looks.
"Flo's a great Jane, Drum" the
gambler admitted slowly. she's been
a dandy sister to me. But she GER
.tainly does throw up the coin. She's
got you on the bum already. How
much are you in for?"
He whistled as Drum thrust the list
of debts into his hand, his eyes squirt
ing narrowly from it to the harassed
teller. Suddenly he came to q de-
cision.

Restlessly, feverishly he performed
his duties the following day. The
evening had been one of agony tt
him, the inability to meet his wife's
calm, tender eyes, the failure to bring
his thoughts away from the impend
ing transaction that meant so much
to him.
Belamour-on bank notes, on the
paper bands that held the packages
together, on his ledger, the name o

Dark fear was tugging at his Goa

like an aspen as he leaned heavily
upon the brokers' desk.

sufficiently to blurt forth. I've got to
borrow those securities for tomorrow
the securities as collateral l left
with you. l only want them for to-
morrow when the examiner comes.
You understand"
'T1l think 1t over" Field decided.
John Field leaned back in his chair
and again that hint Of a CLEAN showed
beneath the pale eyes. The puzzle
had been worked out to his own com-
plete. satisfaction-two thieves In one
bank.
With a little cluck of annoyance he
turned to the memorandum he had
been making when Darius Brown
burst In upon him. A second he
looked puzzled, then completed it.
v.
Joseph Drum stood on the bank
steps. listening without q tremor to
the treble of the newsboy across the
street, the boy who had always be-
fore been able to cause him such ter
ror. Yet now that he knew tnesworst
he was cool and collected and CO
herent.

Yes, he could make out every word

He reached back to feel the bulk OF
the automatic in his pocket. He had
not forgotten. He had managed to
make a thorough cleanup in HIS de-
partment. even finishing with the re-
volver that belonged to the institu-
tion.
In the morning the examiner would
go over his cash books.
Carefully, methodically, solicitous
to disarray any of his wife's toilet
articles. he placed the ugly automa-
tic among tho delicate pieces there.
then rummaged a piece of paper from
the drawer and began his note OF ex-

that sounded! He cudgeled his
brains for the proper words to convey
the real meaning of such a parting.
The tinkle of the phone in the living
room brought a sharp exclamation OF

obtruded upon his mental effort. Re-
l~uctantly he picked 1t up. his voice
cool and collected. A slight smile

BEHAVIOUR WINS At SO TO I.

The great, black type seemed to
leap from the box across the front
page and strike him between the eyes.
He found himself inside the cigar
store without any remembrance of
how he came there. He found himself
listening to Fred Williams tense, ear
nest voice, as he thrust a great wad
of bills in his hands.
well, you copied the coin that
time, Joe, I've used up a ton Of sweat

Drum nodded though he heard
nothing Of what the man said. His
brain was light as . feather.
Feverishly he lunged through the
crowded traffic toward his apartment
house. elbowing people out of the
way. forcing an entrance into the
thickest jam. And then he halted, his
eyes attracted by the exquisite dis
play of a jeweler. Yes. the necklace
was still there-a proper bauble to oc-
cupy the entire blue. velvet lined

shop, chuckling to himself as he more

jewel box in his pocket.
He slipped up behind Flo fastening
