TWO MEN AND w i A FOOL IIY IIOMEll STANM21 Copyright, 1002, by the s s. MnClnre Company Young Bliss hadn't exactly turned tramp when he first met with old More ly of the Bingham County bank, but he had been out of work for a year or more and was seedy nnd discouraged nnd wondering if he hadn't better go and hang hlnrsplf. At the Saltarsvllle depot he pulled old Morcly out of tho way of a wild engine nnd saved his life. The old man looked him over and said: "Young man, come up to Grafton to morrow and have a talk with me. You'll find me at the bank." On the morrow, having stolen a ride on a freight train, young Bliss appear ed at the bank, and old Morcly said bluntly,:, "I'll give you a place at ?15 a week. You can go to work in tho morning." That was the 'old man's way. He never required a bond or asked for references. If he decided to take a new mau on In the bank or let an old man go, It was.all over in five min utes. He expected a man to be prompt, honest, and to work for his Interest alone, and he never had a word of praise. In addition to the bank, he owned a woolen mill, a big stone quar ry and a flouring mill. Young BHsb went to work in the woolen mill as as sistant to the manager, and for six months he seemed to have dropped out of. the old man's sight He had taken liold with great earnestness and more than earned his salnry. He was hustling around one day when old Morely came in nnd said: "There seems to be more In you than I thought for. I am shifting Mr. Craig to the bank, nnd you can take his place and salnry." Mr. Craig was the office superintend ent, subordinate to the general man ager of the mill, nnd young Bliss had filled tho position for several months without criticism when three incidents happened In a day. The first was his rescuing Joe Hover, an Idiot whom a lot of other boys were harassing and annoying. The Idiot looked at Bliss a long time, as if seek ing to impress the picture on his mind, and turned away uttering a queer gab ble of words. The second was a dispute with James Richards, the bank cashier, over "IT'S THE STOLEN MONEY 1" EXCLAIMED HIS HONQB. a bit of carelessness aonre one else was responsible for, and the third was meeting Minnie Morely, the old man's daughter, for the first time as she re turned from a school in the east Each incident was but a trifle at the time, but each was to have a bearing on bis future. Richards, who was a single man of .thirty, arrogant and overbearing by nature, demanded servility from all his subordinates. He elected to look upon youug Bliss in that light, and the few hot words that passed between them made him thirst for revenge. He bad hoped in his own mind for two or three years past to find favor In Minnie Morely's eyes aud become tho bank er's son-in-law. Queerly enough, he had made an enemy of the fool by roughly bouncing him off the bank steps on two or three occasions. Two weeks after the day of incidents young Bliss had to call at the, Morely residence on a matter of business and was introduced to the daughter. Dur ing the next four weeks he met her Boveral tlmesoond at length tho jealous eye .of atUIrdparty came to tho con clusion that it would develop Into a case of love If not .broken up. That third party was the, bank cashier, nnd he did not have to go far, for a plan. All the .bands at tho quarry and the mills were paid once a month. The monthly pay roll amounted to between 18,000 and $0,000, and In his new posi tion young Bliss made up the roll, placed the cash in envelopes nnd band ed it over to heads of departments. The quarry was two miles from town, the mills a quarter of a mile farther, and the trip twas made in a buggy. As the country was opened and settled the Idea of robbers was absurd. The mon- n 1 wf ft FAHMER rOSTATE GETS . . "Well," said Farmer Fosfate, -mis Here's even a ring where a man can ey wns always placed in a satchel at the bank on the 3d of the month, pro viding the date did not fall on Sunday, and Bliss carried it to the mill to place It in envelopes. He had gone through this programme three times and had driven out for the fourth when a circumstance occurred that shook the town of Grafton to its foundations. When he opened the satchel at the mill to take out the money, he found nothing but newspa pers in it. ne naturally argued that the cashier had made some blunder and was not at all uucasy In his mind ,ns ho drove back to have It rectified. To his amazement, however, Richards Insisted that the money had been in closed as usual, and almost at once he charged Bliss with trying to work a game. Protestations availed nothing. The money wob not produced, and young Bliss was arrested. The conclusion was reached that he must have met and passed the money to n confederate. Old Morely was satisfied that the young man had yielded to temptation, nnd the cashier was particularly bitter against him. Before the dny of trial came there appeared to be but one per son In Grafton who doubted his guilt. That was old Morely's daughter. Their acqualntnuco bad not gone be yond admiration, on his side and esteem on hers, but; she gave him credit for sterling qualities and was persistent in his defense. W.hen the trial flnqlly came oft, the cashier swore to having deposited $8,450 in the satchel and bnndlng It to young Bliss, nnd the ac cused could only assert that when he opened the satchel after reaching the mill there was no money in It This was no defense. Tho Jury was being charged, and thero was no doubt in any one's mind as to tho verdict when Joe. thn utnt arrived with a package under his arm. xne omccrs tried to put him out, but ho resisted vigorously and wnlkprt straight up to tho desk of tho Judgo nnu'iiamieu up ills package. "It's the stolen money!" exclaimed his honor as ho tore off the wrapper. xnero was instant excitement, and a "tie his HTTP A mCTIOKLK n.nnnri la mlnhtv convenient! 0. 35H "pig!" dozen men began to question the boy, Joe stood with a smile and pointed from tho money to the cashier, who was in court to hear the verdict wnen pressed to talk, he giggled and beckon ed the officers to follow him. He led them into tho dark alley on one side of tho bank and into a side door open lng on a room used for the storage of fuel. Then, thrusting his hands deep Into a barrel of straw, he made mo tlons that the money had been found there, ne went further. He made It plain that he had been looking through the barred window on the alley side when James Richards hid the money weeks before, it was nil so clear, fool though he was. that tho cashier admitted his guilt Of course nubile opinion whip ped about in no' time at all, and youn,g Bliss walked out of jail with his chnr actcr cleared, but only three or four people could understand why the cash ler should have put Up such a job to ruin nn Innocent man.
