TO I3CBE&SE BASK CliCDLAXION.

Senator Voorhees, who hM been an uncompromising and implacable foe of national banks daring all of his Congressional life, baa at last introduced a bill permitting these despised financial institutions to take out circulating notes to the fall amonnt of the Par valne of the bonds deposited by them with the treasury. A similar bill was introduced in the Senate at the last session bnt was most unmercifully sat down upon by Voorhees and other Democrats. Not withstanding iia present parentage the measure is to be highly commended. It will do mnoh to relieve the currency famine and prevent similar experience in the future, and besides it would enlarge the credit facilities of the banks. The bill ought to pass. Bnt tberashould be another bill to remove the tax of per cent, on circulation, or at least reduce it one-half. This tas is now so grout that most of the banks do nBt issue even np to-the 90 per cent, of^the par value of their bonds. As an illaatiation take the two National banks of this city. Instead of having $90 000 each of circulating notes, they have but $22,500 each, for the simple reason that the tax is burdensome and Lence unremunerative. The Joubxai. has always been an advocate of the national banking system. We believe it to be the best system of banking that has ever been devised. Being safe the system has inspired confidence in the pub lie. A more liberal policy toward the system would enlarge the facilities of all national banking institutions and will do much to prevent a currenoy famine in the future.

This is probably one of the "dishonest pensioners" which has exercised the In.luuiH|»lis News to «acit«n -alarming extent. A-man who who served three years and four months, was wounded in the head, and who is nearly an imbecile oannot be anything else than "dishonest" and shonld be "weeded ont."

"Yea Draw it and sign it," said Si ark, "and I will sign it also. Tomorrow morning I will come here and iceompany you to some bank, where we will leave this document, securely sealed, with the understanding that lclther of us can remove it without :he full oofiaent of the other."

The Judge smiled blandly. "Mr. Stanley, I admire your thoroughness," hesaid "I most heartily id mire your thoroughness."

When the agreement was drawn, lodge^Deaboroogh asked he should read it aloud. "1 prefer reading it to myself," replied Mark. "My eyes, I have no doubt, will serve me quite as well as my ears."

Again the Judge complimented what he called Mark Stanley's unerring sagacity.

After the agreement was signed, the Judgo asked it Mark was willing to disclose the nature of his influence over tho May dews. "When you see her, ask Miss Maydew if she ever heard of me," anBwfered Mark, as he pioked up his hat and left the room.

The next morning, at 9 o'clock, Mark Stanley again rung Judge Desboroagh's bell. "Let me see, let me-see—oh, ah, it Is Mr. Stanley," said the Judge, a little Affectedly. "Mr. Smith, you mean," said- Mark.

The Judge laughed, a nervous, cackling little laugh, without any mirth in it "Mr. Stanley, you are Inclined to be a bit facotious and it is becoming in you, too, sir—quite as becoming as your remarkable sagacity." "Have you got the paper?" asked Mark. "The—the morning paper? Would yon like to seo it? I will find it for you." "I mean the paper which we drew up and signed here in this room last night. I would like to see that. You may iind that for me if you will be so kind." "That? O, yes that is in my pocket securely buttoned in, sir—all ready to be deposited in the bank. The carriage is waiting for us at the door, now pardon my suggesting it, but suppose we set out for the bank at once. "In a moment," said Mark. "One thing at a time. I wish "You wish- some wine, sir interrupted the Judge. "Certainly, sir. How heedless of me not to have thought of it. I will ring for it this instant, sir." •'Spare yourself the exertion, Judge. Hand me the agreement, if you please." "You wish to "I wish to see how it looks by daylight." "But, sir, it's all securely sealed and enfiorsed, ready for deposit in the bank, sir. And, besMes, it is getting late." ''AIL securely sealed, is it? All right, Judge, we will break the seals, then, and seal them over again. You can take the value of the extra sealingwax and time out of the fifty thousand, when you pay me."

Very reluctantly, and with a very red faoe, the Judge produced the package from his pocket, and suffered Mirk to take it.

The seals were broken, but, instead ofithe agreement between Mark Stanley and Judge Cesborough, the package contained some mining notes and memoranda, which had nothing to do with Mark. "You have made a slight mistake," aald Mark, coolly, tossing the document to the Judge.

By this time Judge Desborough's face-was purple, but he glanced at the paper with well-feigned surprise, though he looked as if he had been caught stealing a horse. "How singular!" he exclaimed "how very, very singular! I can only account for it in one way, sir, and it is really a most shameful, I might almost say disgusting, way, too, sir. You see, Mr. Stanley, after you went away, laat night, some of my friends cams in. We had a few games, a few innocent gatnes, sir, but we poured too frequent and perhaps too copious libations, sir. Yes, sir we used a deal of wine, slrt and it was very fine old wine, too, sir I never have any other kind in my cellars, Mr. Stanley. Well, sir,

1

wine always affects my sight, and a most lamentable annoyance ,it sometimes is to me, too, sir. So it proved last night After my friends went away, 1 happened to think that leaving such a document as the one we drew, unsealed, in. a compartment in an ordinary desk, would be a very injudicious proceeding. So I went to my desk and got out this document, thinking, of coureo, .that it was the one that you and I had drawn. Then I sealed it and put It in my coat-pocket This morning, without discovering my mistake, I endorsed the envelope, exactly as you now see It It is with feeling of the most profound humiliation, Mr. Stanley,, that I confess to allowing cards and wine to run me into so embarrassing a mistake." "Under tho circumstances," said Maork, "1 think It a perfectly natural •mistake." "Yes, indeed, Mr. Stanley ye-.t,. indeed, sir. I earnestly, hope that there •will be no feeling in your mind that I did this thing Intentionally?" "Don't speak of it," smiled Mark "a man- of established reputation, liko yourself, certainly would not act so contemptibly with an unknown stranger."

The Judge's face beamed. "You do us both honor and credit," he

California aa a mining State. They were feasted, toasted, serenaded, flattered, worn out with pretty sayings ind pretty doings. "It's because of our social position 31 the East" said Mr. May dew. "It's because of our money," de jlared his fair daughter, with far more accurate foresight

All of this time, Mark Stanley kept •lelightfully in the background, and sever once presented himself, either to Judge Desborough or to the Mavdews. Ills so doing made the Judge believe that Mark Stanley -was an Impostor. He could not understand why a man who seemed to be playing for such high stakes should keep so abominably still. But Mark was deeper than his legal associate thought he was waiting until Miss Maydew found the attentions she was receiving nauseous. He lid not have long to Walt In less than two weekB after her arrival in San Francisco, Misa Maydew regretted aver leaving the East. Before another week elapsed, she had-BO emphatically and so openly expressed this feeling that all California. despaired of interesting the Maydews -in Western mining-affairs.

At this time, Mark and the Judgemet in the street, one dayr The Judge fairly brisi'.ed the moment he saw Mark. "Well, sir," he Baid, "things hr.ve come to a fine pass, haven't, they? Tho Maydews are going back Blast again. If you have any of your "boasted influence with them, why in hell don't you exert it, sir?" "Softly, old man," £ald Mark "step softly and breathe low. Things are going just exactly as I knew they would—just exactly as I wished them to. You people here- have pitched in and made California intolerable to the Maydews. They are getting more and more sick of it, every day. When they can stand no more, and begin packing their trunks to go home again, as they very soon will, then my time comes then I will have you just where I want you. Then you will squeal like a hog with his tail shut in a gate." "Good God, sir," cried the Judge excitedly, "that is exactly the state of things now! They are getting ready to go East. The time for you to do something has come. I—I do squeal, sir I do squeal. Do you hear me, sir? I do squeal. What is to be done, sir? I—I am yours to command." "Now you are talking, old man, rejoined Mark, but with an air of 11stlessness and indifference which was entirely out of keeping with his words. "You must call on Miss Maydew to-night—are you listening?" "Yes, yes go on, Mr. Stanley do go on, sir." "Very good. You are to call on her to-night you are to see her alone you arc to say to her that her old friend Mark Stanley is in this city in distress. If your sight is not affected by wine, as it was the other night when you sealed up the wrong document, you are to note the effect of that disclosure upon her. You are also to make an appointment for me to meet her tomorrow afternoon." ''Why not make it to-morrow morning?" exclaimed the impatient Judge. "What is cthe use of waiting until afternoon? It's clearly a waste of valuable, very valuable time." "Because," answered Mark, "tomorrow morning I have a little business to transact with yon at the bank." "At the bank? Do—do you want some money?" "Not quite yet I want that document safely in my trousers-pocket before I stir a single step in-this Maydew matter." 'The document you and I drew up that night Mr. Stanley? Is that the one you mean?" "Certainly," said Mark "I am not at all interested in any other document which in any way concerns you." "But, Mr. Stanley," expostulated the udge, "I thought we had arranged upon leaving that at the bank until matters were settled, either one way or the other. Why should ithe plan be changed now?" "Because you are an -infernal old scoundrel, aud will cheat'me out of my own skin-unless I keep both eyes well omyou," answered Mark. "Really, Mr. Stanley,''{remonstrated the astonished Judge^'you are putting it on too thick—much-too thick." "That" was .Mark's reply," is because your little game is too thin,— much too thin. But now-to open -this keg of nails. If you surrender that document to me to-morrow morning,

I will play out my hand and help you and the rest of California to scoop the Maydews in. If you doij't give me possession of that now important piece of paper, the Maydews may go back East or where else theyplease, for all me, and you may go to the dcviL I' 11 even cheat you out of the price of that extra sealing-wax. No, no don't say a word, now talking won't do you a bit -of good. Be at the bank at 0 o'clock in tho morning. MIBS the appointment at your peril. What-little there is to be said can be said then. Good-day, Judge."

That night the Judge called on Miss Maydew. She was bored by his call, and took no pains to conceal it After about ten minutes she arose and asked to be excused. Then the Judge asked if she knew Mark Stanley. At once she was all interest and animation. "Know him? Yes. He saved my life, five years ago. What doyou know about him? Is he here? Where can he be found, and what is he doing? Do answer me, will you?"

,lI

"Yon add another to your

list of admirable attributes,—generosity. A wonderful galaxy of virtues in so young a man, Mr. Stanley. Ah. my dear Mr. Stanley, we.must bnoweach other better. We roust indeed." :A few-days later the Maydews came, And to thera wore -devoted' tho attentions of whoever was interested in

I can send him to you to-morrow afternoon." "Do," commanded the girl "or, 1J you fall, never let me s«e your fao« again. Mark Stanley, and here in California!

Stanley, because, when,ha^had. known him in VermontfJtfarkjifitanley was considered abnormally 'pious. Consequently, Mias. Maydew .said aotfeinfp to her father about the presesnoe of Mark in the West,

Every day, for the. next two weeks, Miss Maydew and Mark Stanley- wept driving or sailing. She gava him the moet of her-time,, and refused herself to nearly every on® else. Mm Maydew, a confirmed invalid,' aeldom -went oat of doors, and very rarely saw oallers. No rumor of the-relationa between his daughter and Mark-reached'- him. E[e Intrusted everything to her,-and supposed that business was the sole cause of her repeated absences- from him. Onn day he asked if- she had decided just what, kind of investments they had best make, and she answered that she had, after due thought and investigation, made up her miird to carry out their original idea, which was to form a syndicate for the operation of a series of mines in various.parts of thi State. "To do this," she further explained, "it will be necessary to make an investment of a million dollars, three days hence." "Our money is still all in drafts, ia it not?" he inquired. "Yes." "Well, you had best notify the bank of your intention, in the morning, sc that they will have thc currency j-eady when you present.your drafts for payment"

This suggestion was acted upon, and on the morning in question "Miss Maydew armed herself with her drafts, kissed her father, and told him -that she would return in an houn At: the end of three hours she was still absent Judge Desborongh and one or two others were sitting in the room with Mr. Maydew, awaiting the return of his daughter. All at once there was a rush of tramping feet and a tumult of excited voices in the corridor and, without knocking, Mr. Maydew's door was flung violently open, and then, closely followed by others, the proprietor of the hotel fairly leaped into the middle of the room, his face ghastly with horror. "Good God,-sir," he cried, "some awful work has be endonel Your daughter has been murdered. She ia stone dead. Her body is downstairs.

They found her in her carriage with her throat cut from ear to ear. Mark Stanley went away with her. The d'lver says that -they -went to the bank together. They came out-of the bank, chatting,and. laughing,,and carrying a big package between them. Stanley told tne driver to stop, at his hotel, which ia near the bank. When they got thero the driver aaya that Stanley got out'.and 1.took-the package with him, told the driver to. wait a few minutes, ior' him, and then went lntc the hotel. The drlv»r waited over an hour, but Stanley didn't -come back. Then somebody saw blood dripping out of the-earriage. They opened the door, and saw Mis» Maydew lying there, as I saldf with: her throat cut. They are looking for Stanley everywhere, for of eourae they think' he killed her." "Of course he did," -yelled Judge Desborough. 'He killed her,- and then got away with all .that mosey. I always knew that' fellow was a rascal." "You'd better shut up," retorted the hotel-keeper, "they,found a papertn that carriage with yonr aame on it~ a paper that shows yoa^are mixed -ni in this affair with Stanley." "The agreement!—That daained agreement!" groaned the /adrc-and he looked aa tf ha was going W slid* down, intoi himself,* like a collapsing drinking-cup.
