THE MORNING ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA," OftEGON. WEDNESDAY, FED. 12, 1901 t iCHECKING yJ RUN. ...if TJTLOR WITS... f CojvVk, wo. t . C. ftn-Mflt. Is It true that your father's bank cannot stand the run?" asked Sydney Ware, Eunice Whitehead nodded. "Dad says that he cannot meet the ran before the current funds will be come exhausted," she said, "That means that the bank will have to be closed down. He Is solvent, but he sent too much of the currency to town to be pat out at the high Interest they are paying now." "The run Is only on the savings de-1 partment," said Sydney. "That should j not bother htm much." "It will break his heart," she re turned, "If the bank has to close down even for a couple of days. Dr. Dunn ham says that he is afraid It will give father a shock which will leave Its permanent Imprint on him." "He can make hut home with ns If the bank fails," said Ware. "It may be for the best, so far as we are con cerned." That's what 1 came to talk to yon about," said Eunice gravely. "If the bank falls, Syd, I shall have to give you up, dear. Father would never con sent to share a home with a Ware, and I could not leave him." ' Too were will Ids enoueh to lev aim last week," suggested Sydney. -That was before the trouble came. the reminded. Then he had his bank and his friends. If he loses one, he wni probably , lose most of the others, and my place is with him." Sydney nodded gloomily. Thirty years before Joshua Whitehead and Cyrus .Ware had been rival suitors for the kand of pretty Nellie Morton. White head had won, and Ware had never iorgiven him his victory. Whitehead had then lust founded the Flint k. tional bank of C&rrsville, and Ware had drawn his funds from the bank "80 IT APPEARS THAT YOU ABE 00153 AWAY," BA1D CIECS. and had vowed that be would never patronize the institution. Such bank ing as he had done was transnrfwi through an Institution in the next town, but Ware had conceived a dis trust for all banks, and most of the large fortune which he had accumu lated was stored in gold and bills and bonds in the huge vault In the knit ting mills, a vault as large and as safe as that in the bank. But In the second generation the fend was not carried on. Euulce White head and Sydney Ware had fallen in I love with each other and, realizing the uselessness of asking parental sanc tion, bad agreed to elope and seek for giveness atterward. To Eunice it seemed almost a pun ishment for her contemplated sin that the run on the bank should have com menced the very day they had set for their marriage. Instead of meeting Sydney with her suit case in hand she hud come to tell him that her place was by her father in his hour of trou ble. Mrs. Whitehead had died shortly aft er ner little daughter was born, and Eunice had bravely striven to take the place of her gentle mother in her fa ther's house. She could not leave him In his extremity even for the man she loved. For awhile they sat on the fallen trunk which formed the seat in their rustic parlor. Vainly Sydney sought to urge the girl to his views, but he could not shake her resolution, and Eunice had Just risen to go when there came the sound of some one crashing through the underbrush, and Cyrus Ware came Into view. j His eyes flashed as he caught sight ! f the suit case that Sydney had! brought with him,, and he turned to ' his son. "So It appears that you are going away," said Cyrus. "I suppose that this young woman Is to be your com- j panion In your travels. She will need j some one to support her now that her ! father has wrecked his bank." j . "He has not wrecked his bank, and ' I am not going away with Sydney," ! cried Eunice, with solrlt "Dad Is T.Yald fuat' be cannot meet this run and will have to shut the doors, but be did not wreck the bank. Ha will be able to pay dollar for dollar. I wa going to elope with Sydney, but now my place Is by mv father's side, and I came to tell Syd that I could not go." "But you were wll liur to sneak awav like a counle of thieves and bo mar ried secretly," tauuted Cyrus. "I sup pose that the plan was yours and you entangled this boy." "That Is not so," said Syduey hotly. "It has taken me a year and more to persuade Eunice to elope. We knew that there was no use asking cither her father or mine, and we did not ace why your absurd stubbornness should spoil our happiness." Cyrus stared at his sou. Like most men of dominant personality, he secret ly admired spirit In others. It was the first time that Svdnev had ever taken so bold a stand aim Inst a parental edict and he felt a thrill of satisfaction even while he spoke. "I guess you'll find happiness without having to go to Josh Whitehead's daughter for it," he said harshly. "I want a srlrl I can reeomitze as mv daughter, not the child of a bank wrecker." . Eunice sprang forward at the taunt. "You are a nasty, wicked old man!" she cried. "You know that yon are savins' what Is not true. I helteva that you started this run because yon knew that most of the country banka had sent their surplus to the city to take advantage or the money market It Is you who are a bank wrecker. I hate your .. She stamped her foot to emphasise her words, and something In the ges ture brought back to Cyrus memory a far earlier day when these tame words were spoken. He and Josh and Nellie naa oeen out nutting three children with no thought of marriage. He had killed a bird with a atone and had brought It to Nellie, proud of his prowess. Instead of the praise he had expected, she turned on him and scolded hlnj for bis wanton ' act Eunice in her anser was verv like her mother, and the whole scene came back to him aa vividly as though It bad been an occurrence of the verr dar Instead of a reminiscence of forty years and more. He looked Into the eres that were so like those he had loved in the long ago and partly turned away. For the first time he realised whv Whitehead had won. Nellie bad admired his gentle ness even while she feared Cyrus roughness. Peruana, after alL he. Cvrns. bad been more to blame for bis loss than had his old playfellow. "You two go on with your snoonlne." he said gruffly, and they could not see that the shrewd gray eyes were filled with tears. Cyrus stumbled blindly alone the half defined path that led to the road. tie was living over again his boyhood days, and he found therein much to re gret There was a howling mob about the bank. The employees of half a dozen big mills had taken the day off to res cue their money from the fancied dun. ger, and they clamored about the doors. as rast as those In thd bank obtained their money they were let ont and others were admitted The tellers were paying out as slowly as possible In the hope of being able to tide over the dnv On the morrow they might expect help rrom the city. Cyrus Ware stamped his wsv nn the steps, the crowd giving way before mm. xne watchman at the door let him In at once, and, without explana tion, Ware pushed his way Into the president's office, where Whitehead puzzled over long columns of figures. He did not hear Ware's entrance and i nof until Cyrus' hand fell upon his shoulder did be look up. - "Josh," he said thickly, "I've been a blamed fool for more years than I care to remrariber, bnt that's no sign I've got to keep on to the end of my days. I've got about $100,000 out there In my wagon. I want to open an account." For a moment Whitehead glanced into the other man's face and saw In his eye the mute appeal for reconcili ation which Cyrus could not frame in words. Their hands met In a clasp that wiped away the memory of bitter years, end together they went out of the office to where a guard of men stood over the boxes. Already the news that Cyrus Ware was iroiinr tn deposit had broken the rush, and the crowd had materially lessened. The two men stood on the step su perintending the removal of the cur rency. Cyrus passed Whitehead a ci gar. ' I'm glad I've squared up oid accounts in opening a new one," he said, with a ponderous effort at care lessness. "You see, our youne people are planning to get married." 1 '""lLj' 1''" ROOM AND BOARD. T PAKTHXR WANTM. I J Holder.
