Mary, Banker Hy Jamt4 CUary " Copyright. IBM. by II. WhltehMul ' When the First National bank of Olivet wat organised; capital $00,000, Aunt Mary Hllllard became a ttot-k-holder to the amount of 110,000. Bue waa t wealthy widow, iatt middle age, and could hare furnUbed the full amount had ahe to deatred. . The balance of the ttock waa taktfli by tha butJnet men of Olivet and farmers thereabout a, and In due time the bank opened for bualneaa. Whan the atockboldera met to elect a board of directors tber figured on leaving Aunt Miry out, thoogn the wat out of the Jnrgest ttockholders. , She wat t woman, they laid, and ahe knew lit tle about bualneHt, and tha should Im well content to drtw her dividend ami Icive'tae active manacemeut to men. vtHml make any mistake About me," motioned Annt Mary aa .she aettled her bonnet fon the back of ber head ind stood tip. "I've been doing butt Beta ever alure tny bUobiwd died, fit teen years ago, and I think I've learn ed a thing or two, even about banking. I not only want to be a director, but 4 thai drop in here qnlte oftea to tee how thlogt are golifg." ' ' 'Aunt Mary wat made a director. It wit that, or trouble.-Then the Ave directors elected, a, pretltlt'nt, , secre tary and cnsblcr, and Mr of them smiled paternally as the womnn claim-" ed the honor of making uio first deposit.- The president waa a newcomer In Uio town, but he bad money and had been cashier of a bank lu Buffalo. The secretary and cashier were old residents. The First National secured A large bualuesa at once, and aa time paased on Aunt Mary dropped In occasionally to keep posted. People who thought she was old fashioned in ber business notions or that ber limit waa selling butter and eggs bed to acknowledge their mistake. She was Quits up to date on finance, and she knew a good investment from a doubtful one aa wall as the president did. Things were being managed la good shape all around, and the bank was looking sbead to air dividends at the end of the year, when Fanl Hauard, nephew to Aunt Mary and a young man of twenty-two, appeared on the scene. 1 That It, he appeared at Aunt Mary's bouee, two miles out of town, for a visit of a month or two. As hi csme from a good family and bad Just finished at the university and wna about to study (or the law tta harsh est crltio could have found little fault with him in that regard. Aunt Mary let it be known that be. waa the apple of her eye and ber heir aa well, v .. Itwaan't the fact that Faul canie to visit hla aunt that shook the First National to Its foundations later, but that Jie promptly met, and fell In love wlti Kittle Leslie, daughter of the bank'a president It to happened that bis own aunt made the introduction in tha directors' room of the bank, Intro ducing him to the father at the same time, and so the young man found himself properly vouched fori Mr. Les lie appeared to look upon him with favor, and Kittle waa well liked by Annt Mary, and thus the love match started off well. In a month tliero was an understanding between the two. Trees, ulirube and burdocks grow fast er 111 .a' country,- twn than In a bis city, 'ami perhaps love does the same. Gossip htul It that it was all settled Between" Tatil fln.r Kittle, when ' V;P gnr Taller n''to xmih things. He had no objections to Paul on general principle, bat he.hnd other views regarding Kittle. In fact, be waa planning a certain combination oi love and finance. He had Lla eyes and ears open, snd when he thought the flirtation bnd gone far enough be put bis parental foot down. He had talk with Paul ; Ht was very nice about It, but alao very firm, 1 i -"So Mr, Leslie thinks you are not good enough for bis daughter. ehT AuntMary queried when the news bid been broken. "Well, this is not strict ly bgntlut business, but I tbtll drop In tomorrow snd bsve a few words with Nov- Beemi to me bit bead It getting too big for his bat", v Aunt Mary dropped In and bad's talk: 1 ;Mr. !fle waa tuive, but be didn't want Paul Hansard for a eon lo-, Imw. !je said all aorta of good thing as' in offset, but he wat firm on tltnt no points It wasn't policy for him rw . . . . . A . . , Bu'.aiptmz9- cnie 01 ioe largcai siocn lioldfr in the bank, snd he tried hi" bent to smooth over tlilnjr and send Aunt .Mury away lu a friendly spirit. , "Weil, I've seen him." the remarked 00 returning botne-" be boa hla wiy about things you'll never marry Kit tle." ) Paul groaned,. ' f "But he won't have hi way," she continued., "On the contrary, I'll have mine. Ton and Kittle be patient for a few weeks and there'll either be a mar riage or your Aunt Mary will admit that ahe doesn't know rabbits from woodehueks." The shares of the First National were valued at $110, wltb none for aale. All men will sell, however, at a price. That very day Aunt Mary began bunting up the smsll stockholders, buying stock and pledging them to secrecy. She paid fifteen, twenty and twenty-five bonus, but she got what ahe was after, la a month she bad a controlling interests and the stock was amy transierrea on the books. There wss considerable spec ulstloo at to what waa up, but no one surmised the truth until the first annu al meeting came ground.' Aunt Mar? was present, snd It was noticed that her Jaw was set "We will now vote to elect a board of directors," softly announced the secre tary when the meeting bad been called to order. ' ; Annt Mary bad a ticket of her own to vote, and abe speedily voted the old board out In answer to their looks of consternation she said: ., ? Tbla afternoon the directors will elect officers. I shall be president and my nephew cashier." "But. my dear Mrs. Hilliard"- began Mr. Leslie. "I am within uiy legal righta, air," abe Interrupted. "I have never run a bank yet, but I think I can do so. That is, I shall do so unlets" The pause was dramatic. All bad a suspicion of what waa wrong, and Mr. Lealle knew that he was la a trsp. - "Unless whstr be finally asked, with a father pale face. -j ; ,.; -,,, , "Unless my nephew should get mar ried Bouu. la that case be would not want to set ss caabler. Did any one move to adjourn 7" s '; 1 -' No one bid In fact, no one wanted to' sdjoura until things sad been set "I think youf nephew had better get married," pueen'ed Mr. Leslie aa be t tared Into vacancy.- . ..I1', LJL "Very aoonT" queried Aunt Mary. "I think Kittle will be ready within a month." " "Well, if that's your opinion, I'm quite agreeable. Would it.be against the law to hold a new election for di rectors?" "You seem to be the law yourself." "Then I'll cull a new meeting and cast my votes for tho old board, and aa a director 1 vote to re-elect the old executive board. I have a little more stock than I waut, and if any of you hear of auybody who wants a few hundred at $110 please send thera to me." Teaaaar Bad Bels. "Tommy.
