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-

"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.

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

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
