In the garage Hammond switched
on the lights of the car. BY the glow
they disposed their burdens in the lug

which held them neatly. The com
partment closed and locked, they re-
turned into the house and dismissed
the affair as settled.
Upon the following morning Ora
mont, who usually breakfasted en- pen
sion with his hostess, had barely seat
ed himself at the table when he per-
ceived the figure of Hammond at the
rear entrance of the dining room. The
chauffeur beckOned him hastily.
"Come out here, cap'np Hammond

be in some agitation. want to show

Gramont rose and followed Ham

amazement. The chauffeur halted be-

ing portals of the Exeter National
banS. Entering the building. he sent
his card to the private Office OF the
president; moment later he was
ushered In, and was closeted with Jo-
seph Maillard.
The interior OF the Exeter National
reflected the stern personality that
ruled It. The bank was dark, old
fashioned, conservative, guarded with
much effrontery of iron grills and bars
against the evil doer.
The window men greeted their GUS
toners with infrequent smiles. with
caution and reserve so great that 1t
was positively chilly. Suspicion
seemed in the air. The banks reputa-
ton for guarding the sanctity of
wealth seemed to rest heavily upon
each pair of bowed shoulders
The business customers Of this bank
found their affairs handled coldly, eff
fciently, with an inhuman precision
chat was admirable. 1t was good for
business, and they liked 1t. There
were no mistakes.
People who were accustomed TO
dealing with bankers OF cordial smile
and courteous word, people who liked
to walk into bank and to be met
with a personal greeting, did not
come here, nor were they wanted
here. Chance customers who entered
the sacred portals were duly cowed
and put in their proper place. Most
of them were, that is. Occasionally
some intrepid soul appeared who
seemed imperviOus TO the gloomy
chill, who seemed even to resent It,
One of these persons was now stand
ing in the lobby and staring around
with a cool impudence which drew I'M
favorable glances from the clerks.
He was a decently dressed fellow,
obviously no customer of this sacrO-
sanct place, obviously a stranger to
its Interior. Beneath rakishly
cooked soft hat beamed a countenance
that bore look Of self-assured imper-
tinent deviltry. After one look at that
countenance the assistant cashier
crooked a hasty finger at the floor
guard, who nodded and walked to the
intruder with a polite query.
"Can l help you, sir?"
The intruder turned, favored the
guard with a cool stare, then broke
into laugh and a flood of Creole dia-
lect.
