On the moral able It would have hccii Ulllli-ull even for Tuudy hliimolf to sny Just what iiiciimiro of HUflVrltiK ho i'li ilured. IIIh coiisflciu-e wus cusclmrilcn oil, but Iiih llnuiu.'lal roputntlou was not only n valuable, but on absolutely Dec ennary, part' of his equipment for the IiusIik'hhi'k In which he was engaged. That reputation was now lu greut dan ger, lie wondered If Duueau would tell the Mtory of that scrap of puper. He wondered still more whether Dun can might not report the matter to the comptroller of the currency at Wash ington and t hut bring about a criminal prosecution, even after the mini Ir regularly borrowed had been repaid. Thou he remembered, with aomctblng like 11 kpiinui around bin heart, thut the bookkeeper, I.eftwleh, had heard the whole conversation, and he remember ed also Hint he had been, uh he put It, "rather hard on Leflwloh" upon bcv oral occiiHlona In the past. If Lcftwicu cherlaheil resent inent on that uccouut IiIh malice now had Its opportunity. On the whole, Napper Tnmly could not recall another day In nil his life on which he had Buffered so much In spirit as ho did now, but there was no tluio for brooding or lamenting. lie felt that ho was In Guilford Duncan's clutches, and, while he knew little of conscientious scruples by virtue of any soul experiences of that kind on his own part, he hud so far learned to un derstand Duncan as to know that he would, ns n matter of conscleuco alone, onforcs the Btrlet letter of Ills demand, LIo hastened to And Cnptnln Will Uallnm, and to him he mnilo almost a piteous appeal for a loan of $15,0(10 through the llallam bank. "80 Duncan carries too many guns for you, ehV" was the fllppont remark with which Captalu llallam received the appeal. "Will you let me have the money?" almost frantically pleaded the now thoroughly tightened "mn. "You see, time Is prc-eMis. I've less than an hour In which to raise the sum. You must help me out, Hallaml" "I really don't kuow whether I cun arrange It or not. I'll see Stafford and find out how far our loans are extend ed. Whnt security can you give? You know, Stafford 1b very exacting as to the character of tho security on which he joudu tho bank's funds." "Yes, I know, mid thut Is very awk ward just now. I'm good deal tied up, you know, I've been buying prop erty along tho line of our proposed railroad, I've bought rather heavily, and as 1 hadn't eipected to bo called tiHn to raise money just now I have gone In pretty dixtp on credit, You know how Impossible it Is to reallzo on such property, even at a loss, when a man must have money at ouce." "Then what can you offer?" "Well, I've a pretty large block of tock lu the Memphis and Ohio River railroad"- , "Not good collateral till the roud Is finished. You kuow we couldn't touch that." Tandy mentioned some other securi ties that Dallam deemed Insecure, and by thla time llallam had begun to won der what was the matter with Tandy. He knew, or thought be knew, that tho man must have greutly more money In vested somewhere than these things represented. He had tt great curiosity to kuow what the other Investments were, but he did not find out, for nt lust, within a brief while of tho end of his hour of grace, the troubled man said: "There U nothing for It but to hy pvthecnte a part of my ntuc lu tho X Niillonal. You know that Ik good." "Oh, yim; that's good. HtalTord will accept that as collateral If the bank Is In a MtJilon to extend Its loans. I'll go ami see." When he told Watford what the situa tion was that iiHtute hanker, who had been III many a llliulielal fisticuff With Tandy, quietly said: "1 don't see why we should make the loan, Why not refuse It and then have you offer to buy the stock outright ut Oliout par? He miiht sell, for If I have correctly kI?.i up our friend Duncan he'll never let upon bis demand lu this wise. A man Willi 11 conscience like his simply can't let up lu such n matter." That's the way we'll fix It," an swered llallam, with an anitiKed twin kle In his eye. "11 -'s obv iously lu need of a little more education at my hands, and he can a.Tord to pay for It. I'll buy Ihe M irk at 'p ir iht a cent more. I Nupioe lt' worth toil)" "Vi s, all ,,f that, ami It will !c worth more prcHcuily under fiiim-nu's man agement. What a fellow that Is, anyhow:" 'I Imagine Tandy thinks so by this time." As there was no other tiank In Cairo and uoliiMly else who could make a loan such ns Tandy must have on the lustiint he was simply compelled to make the sale mi llallani's own terms. With Hallam's chock In hand he hurried to the X National, arriving there Just in time to meet Guilford Duueiiii's demand. Duncan received Ihe cliei-k In the bank parlor, again Insisting that Left wlch should bo present nt the Inter view. "I'll take that paper. If you please." Tandy said, holding out his bund for It. "Not until you shall have adjusted Uie other matter. The bunk's tiooks show that while you were still presi dent of the Institution you made n loan of jf.lu.iKHi to yourself on your un secured note, without even tin Indorsiv nient. You kuow that lu doing so you violated the law you were sworn to obey and enforce. With that I do not What is aBackache? IT IS NATURE'S WARMS TO WOMEN Dlseaaea of Woman's Organism Cured and Consaqucnt Pain Stoppad by Lydla E. Plakhara'a Vegetable Compound. " It seems as though my back would break." Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches In the small of tho back, pain low down in the aide, " bearing-down" pains, ner f ousncss and no ambition for any task. They do not realize thnt the back la tho mainspring of woman's organism, and quleluv indicates by aching a dis eased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that tho aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. rinkham's Vegetable Com pound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the fe male organs to a healthy condition. " I have suffered with female troubles for OTor two years, sufforlng intense pain each month, my back ached until it suomed as though it would break, and I felt so weak all over that I did not llmi strength to attend to my work but had to stay in bed a large part or tile nrsi iwo or wree unys uvury iiiomn.

What I ask Is that you swuro the bunk for that loan, which atlil stands. When that Is done Mr. U'ftwlch will return this paper to you. lit the mi-uuwhlle I pliuo It In his hands." "Really, Mr. Duncan"-for since the early part of that niornlng'a Interview Tandy had not ventured again upon the familiarity f addressing Duncan without tho "Mr,""really, Mr. Dun cau, you uro pressing me too bard. You must give me a few days" "How cun I? The law would hold me at fault If I should allow the bank to close today with that loan unsecured. ; itvc a 10 you time." jirs ynC'cXihi me!" "No, I am not. If I were minded to do that, I should cull the loan In at ouce. Aa it Is, I only ask you-as I must to secure It us the law requires. I will accept any falrl good collateral you may have to offer. 'Jliere Is surely no hardship In that-uo persecution lu demuudlug that you shall temporarily leave with the buuk enough of the bonds or stock certificates that you bold lu plenty to comply with tho law concerning loans by national banks. I have simply no choice but to Insist upon that." "Hut I tell you," answered Tandy, "thut at present I have no bonds or stocks couveulently available for such a purpose." "1 will accept your Insurance stock." "I've parted with that." "Well, as I certainly have no disposi tion to lie hard upon you, I'll accept your stock In the Atlantic and Missis sippi Bteuruhhlp company, or even your Mississippi Valley Transportation com pany stock, though neither can be reck oned a first cIiibs security." "I've sold out of Mb compauiea," answered Tandy. Ity this time Duncan began to won der what bad happened to Tandy, In a financial way. Just as llallam bad done. "Wonder where be bus been putting bis money," be thought, "for surely he had plenty of It a little while ago. He's Ix'cu buying property along the new railroad, but that Isn't sufficient to tie up n man of Tandy's wealth. Sonic thing muht be the matter. I must be cautious." "I'll put up a hundred thousand lu Memphis nml Ohio Kiver stock" be gan Tandy. "You know I can't consider that said Duncan. "No suue banker could. But, If you choose, the bank will ac cept stock in your coal mine, reckoned at 00 cents on the dollar, as security." That's out of the question. I'm ne gotiating a sale of my Interests there, and It would embarrass me to have the stock bypothii-ated Just now." "Very well, then. What do you pro pose to do? Of course you hare a large block of stock In this bank. Why not put that up us security aud give yourself nil the time you need? Or, If you don't want to hypothecate the stock with this buuk, you can arrau&e a loan on it with Stafford or llallam." Tandy hesitated for a time before answering. At last he said: "I've only thirty-three shares left Why shouldn't the bunk buy It out tight, putting the loan lu as a principal part of the purchase mouey?" "At what price will you sell?" "At HO. It's worth that and more." "I'll consider the offer. Come back In an hour for your answer." Duncan sent nt once for llallam and Stafford, as the principal stockholders In the bank, oilier than Tandy, and told them nil that had happened. They nd Vlsed the pilrcii.is.-, but Miggested 102 is the price, aud nu hour later Napper Tandy ceased to be u sto:-UhoUer In the X National Imuk. A day or two later Stafford learned that by this sale of his bank stock Tandy had practically parted with the last Investment he had in any Cairo enterprise. He greatly wondered at that, and us he sat with Duncan and H.ilhun in Hallam's parlor that night tho three Indulged In many conjectures concern ing Tandy and bis plans. The only conclusion they arrived at was ex pressed by Captain Will: "He's up to mischief of some sort. Wo must watch hlra." (To be continued.)
