' floor above, was provided with a table
land a chair. Daisy took ber seat be
!fore the plica of bills with which the
j table was loaded. ,
! According to tho law, a certain cash
' reserve was required of the bank, and
, It was Daisy's tank to count the pack
. ages of bills and make certalu that the
'contents agreed with the figures ou the
' paper bands. Barker leaned across the
'table.
"Mike will take these n'.vay and
bring you more when you are ready,"
he said. "You kuow bow to check
them on the slips."

Remember." he said imnresslvelv.
-
"I have selected you for the counting
because you are discreet and faithful."
This time the new cashier ascended
the stairs, and Daisy's nimble fingers
made quick work of the bills. They
: were for tho greater part fifty dollar
notes In packages of a hundred each,
and Daisy dropped them Into the box
, at her side as she verified the count
; The porter brought her a fresh sup
ply of higher denominations, and of
these she took more careful count.
Several of tho packages were short one
or two bills, and these were for $100
and $500 each. The packages were
tossed aside to be recounted later when
the work should be done. It might be
that some error bad been made, and
other packages might contain a bill or
two in excess of their supposed num
ber. i But package after package went to
swell the pile on the rough deal table,
and there were none to balance the
shortage. ' Barker's words flashed
through Daisy's brain. She was to be
discreet and faithful! '
Only two weeks back Barker had
been promoted to be cashier. Before
then he had been tho assistant, and it
was he who had last counted and
packaged the reserves. Now that he was
made cashier in the place of Newton
Bryan the count had to be made again
because the bank examiner was ex
.! pected. The shortape would become
i known unless she was discreet and
faithful!
i For a little time things turned black
for Daisy. To Barker she owed her
Advancement In the bank. He had.vlr-
l tually sayed her. D'ace 'or her bv his
kindly advice when she had first taien
a position, and during the entire two
years she had teen with the bank bo
had put ber under a heavy burden of
latitude. He bad toeo kind to all the
girls, but It acemed to Daisy that tu
bad teen more watchful of ber Inter
ests than of the others, and now-now
she was being asked to make return!
A step aroused her from ber thoughts,
and she resinned ber work just as the
president came down the stone stair
way to tho basement, Daisy fingers
become nimble again, and she tried to
keep all traces of excitement from ber
face.
"Everything all, right?" - asked Mr.
Green well as be came Into tbe com
partment. "Tho count Is correct r
There was a note of anxiety In bis
kindly voice. Daisy wondered If be
bad any suspicions. For a moment
she was tempted to answer that all
was right. 8he could give an evasive
answer and warn Barker that bo was
In danger of discovery. Then came the
echo of the words "discreet and faith
ful." .
It wodld not be faithful to tbe bank
to bide the shortage. It could not be
tbat Murker would have asked ber to
bide bis guilt She looked bravely Into
tbo president's face.
"Those packages are all abort," she
aald simply. "They are mostly tbe
hundreds, but there are five thousands
too."
"Ask Mr. Marker to come beie," di
rected the president "Do not tell him
what Is the matter. Just say that I
want to soe hi in here. Come back with
blui."
As quietly as she could Daisy sum
moned the (ashler. Tbey were at the
top of the stairs when ber courage fail
ed. She could not believe wrong of
tbe man she loved, and yet"
"There was a ahortage," she whis
pered. "Mr. Greenwell told me not to
tell you, but I"-
Darker uo.lded understanding, but
be kept on toward the basement, and
Daisy followed wonderingly. Green
well looked up as bis cashier came into
tbe compartment
"I am sorry to say that your sus
picions are correct" be said sadly.
"Will you and Mlss-er'-
"Walllng." supplied Barker.
"Will you and Miss Walling: figure
the exact sum? I am afraid that it is
worse than we thought"
Barker louk his scat at tbe table op
posite Daisy, and tbe president re
turned to the upjicr floor. As tbey
worked Marker explained that be bad
suspected tbat the former old cashier
had resigned in fear of discovery. It
was at bis own request that the count
was being made before be became re
sponsible for the surplus.
"It won't hurt the bank," continued
Barker. "Bryan's father will make
good the shortage. It is not as bad as
I bad supposed. Of course you will
say nothing of this to any one in or
out of the bank?"
"Why did Mr. Green well tell me to
tell you?" she asked curiously.
"Probably tbat the others might not
overhear your message," explained
Barker. "Is that why you warned
me?" he went on. "Did yon think
that perhaps I had been meddling
with the reserve?"
"I didn't think that" dented Daisy,
with reddening cheeks, "but it was all
so strange and mysterious to me, and
I I didn't want to feel tbat perhaps 1
hadn't been faithful."
"I meant faithful to yourself," ex
plained Barker, remembering bis
words. "Was it because"
He did not complete his question.
There wns no need. Eyes answered
eyes. But some days later, when the
gray haired president suggested that
a married man was preferred by the
directors as cashier. Barker agreed
with blui.
"It's all arranged," he declared. "I
am going to marry Miss Walling, the
yonng lady who counted the reserve."
Green well nodded approvingly. '
"She will make an excellent wife,"
he declared oracularly. "You have
made an excellent choice, George."
And Barker agreed with him.
Ashamed of the Debt.
An English gentleman rather plain
tively confides to the London Outlook
that he no sooner flatters himself that
ho has turned his otherwise perfectly
satisfactory wife into something ap
proaching an economist than he finds
out that he bas done nothing of the
kind.
, He had, or he so believed, firmly im.
planted in ber mind the fact that Eng
land has the greatest revenue ever
known, when she learned, through a
lecturer at her club, the figures of the
national debt.
"John," she said on her return,
"didn't you tell rue that England has
the greatest revenue ever known?"
"Yes," he said. ' ' '
"Then bow Is it," she said keenly,
"that we have such an euormous debt?
Do we really owe that terrible sum?"
She named it with great deliberation
and awe.
He admitted that the figures were
correct.
"Well, If that is so," his wife said
firmly, '"I. will never again admit
abroad that I am an Englishwoman. I
could not travel In comfort known as
one of a nation so shamefully Indebt
ed." .
