adjustment OF the town. Yet all was
so serene in this eddy of the world
that the hour of solitude that followed
eleven o'clock seemed such an age that
1t drove him to bed
AS the time drew on toward twelve
there was no sign of life in the VII
lage. The lights in the drug stores,
the restaurants, the delicatessens
where ice cream is served to the small
town lovers, had one by one winked
themselves out. The owl car OF the
trolley line that ran through the VII
lage had deposited its last late revel-
ers at eleventhirty. The swinging arc
lights at the street intersections occa-
sionally sputtered titfully and glared
again. A dynamo whirred dstantly at
the electric light plant.
Gard, the special agent of the de
partment OF Justice, was one OF the
few men in the town who was awake
except those who had been guests of
the banker and who had fingered to an
hour which was almost Unprecedented
in New Beaufort. They would have
gone home at eleven but the banker
insisted that they remain for further
entertainment on the part of his New
York musicians One song called forth
another and the quality of the music
proved so much more pleasing than
that Of their customary local talent
that they forgot the passing of time
The special agent sat on hill near
the Compton home and smoked pipe.
II was twelve O'Clock before the
party finally broke up. Those Of the
townspeople who had come in their au-
tomobles were being tucked into the
tonneaus, and those who mad walked
up the gray macadam drive were just
setting out on foot when the clatter as
OF bunch of giant fire crackers called
their attention to the village below.

moment later. a skylignt was broken
and a tongue of fame leaped forth.
Fire! FIRE." came the shout from
a dozen voices
Gard had seen more than had the
guests OF the banker. AS he smoked
his pipe and watched the village be-
low, the lights in the windows of Stone
Crest, and the silent cottage Of LOr.
ance. the assistant cashier, he had
seen an automobile. with no lamp
showing, creep through the quiet back
street, purr stealthily into the alley
back of the bank and stop behind
small building that shut off his view.
Half an hour passed and the darkened
machine reappeared from behind the
Intervening building, turned into the
thoroughfare leading to the southeast
and disappeared in the distance at an
ever increasing rate Of speed.
When the exploding cartridges in
the cashiers drawer at the bank gave
the first warning of the fire, the clamor
Of the alarm followed and pande-
mOnum broke out in the village. OF
the dispensing group on the hill, every
one ran for nearer view of the fire.
The musicians, the servants, the mas
ter of the house himself, all hurried
into the village to make part Of the ex-
element that prevailed. Stone Crest.

glowing, was left deserted.

all proportion to the other business
of the institution. Something is wrong
with loans and discounts"
SO Newton hurried back to New
Beaufort and was that night guest at
the party given by Conrad Compton,
with whom he had built up a friend
ship through years Of association IN
the line of his work. He was to take
further look at the loans and dis
counts on the morrow.
The department Of justice is the
prosecutor in cases of violations of the
national banking law. It's work is en-
tirely apart from that of the bank eX-
aminers OF the treasury department
The New York Office OF this service, as
a matter Of daily routine, received the
information that David Torrance, as
sistant cashier OF the First National
bank OF New Beaufort, was regularly
placing heavy buying and selling or
ders with a certain broker In Wall
street.
For this reason, Agent Gard got the
assignment to come to New Beaufort,
and was thus the representative Of the
third detective service. His windows
at the grocery store looked out upon
the side door Of the bank opposite. He
was bland and incOnspicuous, but he
was an expert accountant, had taken
degree In the law and worked three
nights a week in the gymnasium in
New York when he was in town.
The Compton home stood on hill
just back OF the town. II was known
as Stone Crest and was the most am
bilious establishment Whereabouts, be-
ing always pointed out with pride to
visitors. The banker was a widower,
but given to entertainment and to
charity. The members OF the board
OF aldermen often met at Stone Crest
20 discuss those matters that had to do
with the being OF the town. Teas
were given there whenever It's CHART.
able women were inaugurating some
new venture. The party tonight was a
semipublIc affair, for 1t was in com
memOratiOn of centennial anniver-
sary OF that occasion when the first
! settlers had fought off attacking In
dams from their stockade through a
day and night.

Conrad Compton was tall, graceful,
nervous man with high forehead and
a mass of wavy hair His features
were Of perfect regularity and the
whole face was so small as to give It
somewhat the appearance Of that OF
woman. an impression that was height
encd by it's absolute pallor.

nue. of incorporation discovered.
Thus was the special agent able
from the outside to get very good
leads into the condition OF the bank
and to determine the manner of its
footing when the facts might not have
been obtainable by an expert working
from the inside.
Cards case was about completed
and the department was ready to act
when the dramatic denouement came
Arson. suicide and fight are the three
events most to be expected when the
funds of bank have been misappro-
priated. The young special agent was
watching for any of these at the time
of the anniversary party given by the
banker. 1t was in preparation for
either that he watched so late on that
occasion.
On the afternoon which preceded
the entertainment Gard was working
over his books at the store and at the
same time keeping an eye on the
bank An hour after closing time at
the bank he saw Compton come out
of the side door with two books of the
institution under his arm. He could
make out that one was loans and dis.
counts. He surmised that they might
be records that were to be destroyed
probably the books that showed his
guilt.
When from the hillside Gard that
! Ill, hn1 IL ~
the bank and the flames subsequently
break out he knew what had hap
pened These were accomplces Of the
cashier who had probably looted the
bank of any remaining funds and, &C
cording to agreement, had set it on
fire that the incrminating records of
the cashier might be destroyed. The
willy cashier, however. had made sure
that the books that showed his guilt
would not be found, in case the plan
was not an entire success. He had re-
moved them himself, but had not as
yet destroyed them for he saw no
proba bility of coming under immediate
suspicion. Likewise had he neglected
to destroy certain correspondence that
later connected him with the parties
found to have committed the arson.
The books taken from the bankers
house were found to be the personal
ledger wherein should have been en-
tered deposits, and the loans and dis
counts ledger in which account Comp
| ton had entered the amounts repre-.
senting all his personal checks. This
| latter was the account that had dwelt
in the mind of Newton, the bank eX-
aminer. The letters that Gard had
| found in the bankers pockets, though
unsigned and mysteriously phrased.
| were later traced to the Dutch SHREDDER
! gang. They proved great aid to Nc
| Cord, the plain clothes man, who had
slept peacefully through all the clamor
incident to the burning of the bank,
but who, through them. was able to
trace the burglars.
Compton went to pieces when con.
fronted with the proof that his derelic-
| tons had been found out. When his
| townspeople came to know the facts
on the following day, they stormed the
! Jail and threatened to lynch him. So
determined was their onslaught that
the sheriff spirited the prisoner away.
| In desperation he confessed his crimes
and exonerated Torrance. the assistant
! cashier, who in playing the market had

| perior Compton lived but six months
after his conviction and sentence to
ten years in the penitentiary at At

The German church, like everything
else German. is admirably organized
but the clergy depend on the govern
ment for their daily bread. The oath
of allegiance which each clergyman
takes binds him to obedience not only
to the kaiser but also 10 the state"
The clergy, therefore, can scarcely be
considered as anything but a depart
