Invisible. The bell changed. the brakes
Kissed the conductor drawled: "All
aboard!'
Mr. Robert released his hold on the
satchel. Uncle Bushrod Rugged it to
his breast with both arms, as lover
clasps his first beloved.
Take it back with you, Bushrod,"
said Mr.. Robert, thrusting his hands
into his pockets And let the sub
ject drop-now mind You've said quite
enough I'm going to take this train.
Tell Mr.. William | will be back on
Saturday Good night"
The banker climbed the steps of the
moving train and disappeared in a
COACH Uncle Bushrod stood notion
less, still embracing the precious satch-
Ell. His eyes were closed and his lips
were moving in thanks to the Master
above for the salvation of the Wey-
mouth honor. He knew Mr.. Robert
would return when he said he would.
The WeymouthS never lied. Nor now,
thank the Lord, could it be said that
| they embezzed the money in banks.
Then awake to the necessity for fur
Their guardianship of Weymouth trust
| funds, the old man started for the bank
with the redeemed satchel.
| Three hours from Weymouthville, in
the gray dawn, Mr.. Robert alighted
from the train at lonely flag station.
Dimly he could see the figure of a man
waiting on the platform, and the shape
of spring wagon, team and driver.
Half a dozen lengthy bamboo fishing
poles projected from the wagons rear
you're here. Bob said Judge
Archinard, Mr.. Roberts old friend and
schoolmate ITS going to be royal
day for fishing. l thought you said
why. didn't you bring along the stuff?'
The president of the Weymouth bank
took off his hat and rumpled his gray
| locks.
"Well, Ben, to tell you the truth,
there's an Internally presumptuous old
niger belonging in my family that
broke up the arrangement. He, came
down to the depot and vetoed the whole
proceeding. He means all right and
we'll, reckon he is right. Somehow
he had found out what | had along,
though / hid it in the bank vault and
sneaked it out at midnight. | reckon
he has noticed that I've been indulging
little more than a gentleman should,
and he laid for me with some reaching
| arguments.
I'm going to quit drinking" Mr..
Robert concluded. 1--WE come to the
conclusion that a man can't keep it
I up and be quite what he'd like to be
pure and fearless and without re-
proach that's the way old Bushrod
quoted ii"
"Well, III have to admit said the
judge thoughtfully as they climbed into
the wagon, that the old darkey's ar
gument can't conscientiously be over
ruled"
"Still," said Mr. Robert, with a ghost
of a sigh, there was two quarts of
the finest old silk velvet Bourbon in

The train was standing at the sta
ton Some men were pushing trucks
along the side. Two or three sleepy
passengers got off and wandered away
into the night The conductor stepped
to the gravel, swung his lantern and
called: "Hello, Frank at some one

celed checks in it and snapped two
elastic bands around it. He put but
one band around other passbooks.
Aunt Malindy objected to the mission
at so late an hour, denouncing it as
foolish and unnecessary, but Uncle
Bushrod was not to be DETECTED from
duty.
Il done told Sister Alkaline Hoskins, >
he said, ito come by here for dat book
tomorrer mawnin' at sebin o'clock for
to kyar' it to de meetin' of de bod
of engagements, and dat book gwine to
be here when she come"
So Uncle Bushrod put on his old
brown suit. got his thick hickory stick
and meandered through the almost
deserted streets of Weymouthville. He
entered the bank, unlocking the side
door, and found the passbook where
he had left it, in the little back room
used for private consultations. where
he always hung his coat. Looking
about casually he saw that everything
was as he had left, it and was about
to start for home when he was brought
to a standstill by the sudden rattle OF
a key in the front door, Some one
came quickly in, closed the door softly
and entered the counting room through
the door in the iron railing.
That division of the banks space
was connected with the back room by
a narrow passageway, now in deep
darkness.
Uncle Bushrod. firmly gripping his
hickory stick, tiptoed gently up this
passage until he could see the mid
night intruder into the sacred precincts
of the Weymouth bank. One dim gas
jet burned there, but even in its neb-
ulous light he perceived at once that
the prowler was the banks president.
Wondering, fearful. undecided what
to do, the old colored man stood mo-
tioness in the gloomy strip of hallway
and waited developments.
The vault. with its big iron door, was
opposite him. Inside that was the
safe, holding the papers of value, the
gold and currency of the bank. On
the floor Of the vault was. perhaps
$4,000 in silver.
The president took his key from his
pocket. opened the vault and went
inside, nearly closing the door behind
him. Uncle Bushrod saw through the
narrow aperture the flicker Of a candle.
In minute or two-it seemed an hour
to the watcher-Mr. Robert came out.
bringing with him large hand satchel,
handling 1t in a careful but hurried
manner, as if fearful that he might be
observed With one hand he closed
and locked the vault door.
With reluctant theory forming it.
self beneath his wool Uncle Bushrod
waited and watched, shaking in his
shadow.
Mr.. Robert set the satchel softly upon
q desk and turned his coat collar up
about his neck and ears. He was

Now, Uncle Bushrod was treasurer
Of the Sons and Daughters of the
Burning Bush. Every association he
belonged to made him treasurer with
out hesitation. He stood AA1 in col
ored circles He was understood
among them to be Mr.. Bushrod Wey-
mouth of the Weymouth bank.
The night following the day on which
Mr.. Robert mentioned. his intended
fishing trip the old man woke up and
rose from his bed at u o'clock, declar-
ing he must go down to the bank and
fetch the passbook of the Sons and
Daughters, which he had forgotten to
bring home. The bookkeeper had bal
anced it for him that day, put the can
