yJ RUN.

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."
