termined to avail myself of my oppor
tunities to rllle tho safu and skip out.
llotweeu tho lth and 11th of .Septem

mid concluded to work tlioni out on thu'

At 7 o'clock l wont to tho bank,
pulled down tho shades, lighted tho

ohali outsldo tho railing and had sat
down for a mnoko when thcro was n
rap at tho door. 1 know It was ono of
our force, but hardly expected to 8oo
tho president hlimv'r.
"1 expected it wiu you," ho Bald at
ho entered; "alwnyu tho last to go.
You aro working too hard and must
take n rest. At a meeting of tho board
today It wiib deckled to give you a
nvonlh'B leave and a gift of $500 cash."
I don't rcineinbcr what 1 snld in ro

llko horror umzcu upon iu v- '"
or my own baseness. Itlgtit hero with

luvish in Ula Drutao .of .my integrity.'
no romnlned only n lflof time, nnrt
soon aftor his duparttiro I wont ottlstdo
to walk about and plan a iittlo. I
hadn't given up tho idea of robbery
mid lllght, but it still, small volco was
whispering to mo when a, hand wax
laid on mv arm. mid I turned to con
front tho lending merchant Of tho tttwi.1
"Look here," no mud as wo wiuked
along arm lu 111111, "l'vo always dono

as good us gold himself, but I don't
fancy bin new cashier, llo'tf n high

turn up missing with till tho bccdlo ho

And I had ? 107,000 all packed up nnd
was only walling for train time to hoj,
como a robber.
"Hvcrybody Is speaking lu yollr

sorvo all that hi said. Just keep 11 level

When Ik left hip. I had to lenn,
against n dead wall for' support. The
sound of his footsteps was mill lu my
earn when I suddenly felt that I was
an veil. There had been a tcrrlbli tnig;
glo of conscience, but rhrht had trU
'iimphed nt hist. I was pulling myself
together to return to (he bank when a
woman accorded mo by name and nnld:
"How luclty I happened to see you.
I was on my wny down to J Hack's to
sco if hu wouldn't take charge of this
packngo till tomorrow. It's money I
got only two hours ng0-?:;,OOO."
"Come lu here, and I'll give you n
receipt."
"Never mind that. Wo all know you
and trust von."
Ilei' parting words gavo mo n shiver.
How llttlo they knew me. I had onu
moro ttlnl (0 undergo. Almost at the
door of tho bank I mot two business
men of high standing who wcro hold
ing an animated conversation.
"Heard thu uuws?" queried ouo as 1
came up.
"What la It?"
"You remember tho clerk In my
brother's ofilco In Philadelphia who
hklppcd 'out two years ago with ?30,'
000? Well, he's been overhauled. He
went to Peru, no doubt expecting to
linvo grand times. It scorns that every

iWf'!": d, insulted mid plundered, ami
ho did not have ono hour's solid com

prison for ten or fifteen years, nnd ho
might as well die then. Say, Isn't It a

I passed 011 Into the bank nnd care
fully locked tho door behind 1110. My
knees wero Vo weak thnt I hnd to rest
for n good twenty minutes. Even my
hair wns sopping wet with percpira
tlou. When I felt strong enough, I carried
the satchel to tho vault, opened tho
doors and replaced tho money, and It
was not until the Iron doors were
locked iinalti that I fell sure I had won.
Tliero would be no watchman 'that
night. I had planned It so. I took off
my coat, kicked off my rhoes nnd made
myself comfortable hi nu nrmchnlr. 1

It hnd got to the ears of tho otllcers
that I had sacrificed my ulght because

"Illcss the dear boy! lie's a man out

"Hxclinngo check for tlmt, please,

Tho check was duly mndo out, nnd

Hu was admitted by a girl of twenty-two

wish, Mr. Tucker, that you would give

"Thcro Is hut ono wny nnd that

"If not repugnant to you." ,v
"Nothing I can do for you would bo

Tho glr! looked at him as though sho

"Marry you?"
"No, never mind. I'm too old and
prosaic. I've not been brought up In
tho retlned wny you have. I had to

I'm on my shortcomings, I may as well
confess thnt tho relief and aid money

For the moment ho wns jigaln tho

Rtnro at him as he proceeded, then the
wholo meaning of It all seemed to
break upon her, and she threw herself
into his arms. ...
"Your mother called this morning nt

said Tucker In a kindly tone. IJo was
Introduced into tho living room, where

Mnrgnrot Plumber glanced at It and
handed It hack to Tucker, with tbo ro

Tucker cnlled often, every tlruo tying

Ho took MargarcV Plumber lout to

ANCIENT MARINERS.
Qnccr nellcf Tliey Held Aliont
the
Unexplored Occnn.
The landlocked Mediterranean, which
wns the only sen known to the Romans
and Greeks of twenty odd centuries
ago, was filled with mysterious terrors,
wlillo tho moro distant lands bordering
on It were tb? nbodes of wonders nnd
strange peoples. Gods of monstrou
Klin pea ruled the waters, enchanting
sirens dwelt ou the Islets nnd rocks, nbd
on the dry land beyond wcro to be
found weird enchantresses, aro breath
ing beasts, fierce pygmies nnd dreadful
cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars of Hercules,
now called tho strait of Gibraltar,
brought back Intelligence that tho great
ocean beyond was not navigable. It
was part of the mighty river which
flowed around the Hat earth In an un
ending stream.
Tradition says that there was Inthoso
times nt Ginrnltnr a stone pillar 100 cu
bits high, with n brass statue on It and
nn Inscription stating this to ho tho lim
it of navigation. Iteyond was n "sen of
darkness," Infested with terrors beyond
the power of the Imagination to con
ceive. Occasionally Jibqld vfravlgatcr
did, nevertheless, venture outside Into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel,
or, more alarming still, n gigantic hand,
supposed to bo that of Satan, would
emerge from the Ocean of eternal gloom
nnd wnrn back the mariners.
Not merely on these nccounts was
the ocean Impracticable for ships. It
wns reported to be so dense with. salt
ness nnd so crowded with seaweeds nnd
huge beasts that headway could not ha
made through It. Even up to the time
of Columbus such beliefs prevailed,
and hhi crews wcro terrified on entering
the Snrngossa sea by the weeds nnd
