What can you do about it? You
don't know anything definite"
mo, but I could stop at the bank
and draw out what's there. I could
leave few dollars to avoid looking
worried. I could say I had to deliver
the cash in New York
You couldn't travel with all that
money on you. Somebody would MUIR
der you"
I'D deposit it in another bank here
in town.
How'd you know which one to
trust? Another president may get
dizzy tomorrow"
That's SO. Now where could I put
it? In a safe deposit box! No, then
I can't write a check against it. I'll
have to buy a money belt and carry
it."
But darlingl"
They sat staring at each other in
terror. The country was full of people
afraid because they had no money.
but it was a mere torpor compared to
the panic Of the unfortunates who
have money and don't know how to
keep it. Arthur glanced at his watch.
I've got to get to the office for a
last talk with the staff. You're COM
ing down to the train, of counsel"
DO you really want me to?"
He cast his eyes to the heaven that
made her, hit her hard with a kiss,
and bolted, then paused at the door
to say:
While I'm at it, think I'll tele-
phone your father and tell him about
Gage. He may want to take his money
out, too. And I'd better call up my
two brothers-and Cousin Allan"
you'll start run on the bank"
First come, first served"
She stood by while he called up his
various people. They in turn were re-
minded of relations and others and
by the time Arthur reached the bank
there was fairly long line at the
paying tellers window.
The sincere mourning of the staff
for their beloved President Gage was
turning into anxiety. They wished they
had thought to close the bank for a
day as tribute to his memory But
the important thing for Arthur was
that he got his money. He also bought
money belt and slowed his terrify-
ing wealth in it in the secrecy of his
office. The belt had large pockets with
leather flaps and it rather spoiled
that herring Quilted shape he had
worked so hard to keep.
When vi met him at the noon
train she led him aside to ask what
he had done. He whispered an ex-
PLANTATION and added Here's some
cash to keep you till get back. You
can't draw any checks while I'm
gone"
"Oh. dear! Why must people jump
fall out of windows at such incon-
venient times?"
"Ahl abo-o-oarrd!" came the Irish
conductors eerie faraway call from
the end of the long train, and the
porter, like an echo with a dialect,
sang out: "Awl abode!"
Arthur and vi flung their arms
about each other. They were still the
most devoted lovers. She whispered:
Watch everybody, darling. Those
gangsters can smell money. Oh. I'm
SO scared!"
well. I'd rather have you scared
than Jealous"
I'm both!'
But you trust me. don't you?"
"Oh, trust you, but not that
promise you won't even see Nina"
II promise
And if you do see her, you'll pre-
tend not to-"
Il promised"
Telegraph me every day and while
you're in Cleveland be sure to add
add-Nina unseen"
"But-what will the operator say
when she reads it,"
What do you care? If you don't
I'll know you're with her."
"An right! Nina unseen! Really!
Oh, all right"
"Ahl ab-o-oarrd!" "Awl abode!"
vi ran alongside the train and they
exchanged thrown kisses till she could
keep up no longer.
When he went to bed, Arthur was
