[Copyright, 1894, by Charles B. Lewis.] Moniit Vernon was a Tillage of only about 800 inhabitants, but with a rich agricultural community surrounding it, and its first bank was a private institution established by a man who cal loti himself Henry Peck. No doubt ho brought references to make himself solid with the people, but os J was a ls»y at the time I knew nothing*’ about it. Ha was a middle aged man, had no family and was soon spoken of in the highest terms. His bank had been established a year or more, and ho had secured the cohfidenee of the villagers and farmers alike, when he employed me in the institution My duties consisted of sweeping out, brushing up, running on occasional errands, and, as it was winter, of attending to the fires. 1 think a hoy sizes up a stranger quicker than a man does. A lx>y judges a man entirely by his facial expression or by his first word#, and he promptly likes or dislikes. 1 did not like Mr. Peck, and yet 1 entered his employ. Ho made not the least effort to get acquainted, as it were. He never addressed me except to give an order, and wo were alone for hours at a time without a word being passed. The number of depositors was large, and business was good. That much 1 knew from

anti 1 presume 1 told him the

as near as I had it. I remember that ho asked many questions, but all seemed perfectly straight and legitimate to me. There were three windows to the lank, but the .-ashes were nailed down, and there were iron bars on tho inside. The back door was tho weak spot, and it was a wonder that it was left so. It was only a common door, and in addition to a lock and bolt had a bar across its center. I always left the bank at night by the back door. When I had gone, Mr. Peck made it fast and left by

the front.

On the 2d of April, I think it was, in overhauling the wood in the storeroom I found an old fashioned carpetbag full of papers. It was probably left in the room by Mr. Peck two years before 1 dusted it off and set it aside, saying nothing about it. Next day I took notice that the hanker acted quuerly. Ho spoke to me kindly on several occasions and laughed and joked with people who came in till I saw that they wondered about it. He was usually reserved and dignified and not at all given to hilarity. At noon, when he went to his dinner, I found in tho coatroom anew carpetbag about the size of the old one, lint empty. 1 had not seen him bring it and couldn’t understand what use h'would make of it, hut I didn't bother about it much. At 1! o’clock, when ve happened to be alone in I ho bank and

yet smoke in the room, and I heard bun mutter an exclamation of alarm as he sniffed and peered about. He was several minutes making out how the lire hail started and lieen put out, and ju-t as he was turning to the safe I suddenly uttered a sneeze. I felt it coming anil nearly pulled my nose off to check it, but the sneeze would not be held

back. Mr. Parti idge Jumped two •» t high and rushed for the baek door, but a minute later recovered from his panic and returned to see who it was. He had a pistol in his hand, and as I rose up before him he seemed about to shoot me. He must have identified me by my stature instead of my face, and this is what saved me. As ho lowered tho pistol ho called me by name, and I think he was the more rattled of the two as 1 faced him. The slick villain was caught in a bad box, but he was at no loss for excuses. He explained that he was passing hv, smelled the smoke and ha-1 broken open the door in hopes to put

Ho asked how I came to be locked in, and l to’d him I had fallen asleep in the storeroom. This was a falsehood, of course, but now that I saw through tho man 1 was afraid of him and wanted to keep him from getting the money.

m: pk ki:d rr the caupktbao. what people said. Mr. Pick was his own bookkeeper and cashier, and I well remember the safe he had standing baek of tho counter. If was one of tho “bold head” sort and had a brass key weighing five or six ounces. In those days there was nothing better. That safe was an object of curiosity to the people, and scores of them came to the bank to have a look at it. I had nothing to do with this receptacle, except to dust it now and then. Mr. Pock always carried the key in his pocket, and when he left me alone from noon to 1 o’clock he never forgot to hs-k till* safe. Along in January a stranger came to town. He gave out that ho was selling patent rights and had two or three models to exhibit around the hotel. 1 do not remember just how I first encountered this man, who gave his name as Partridge, but I liked him at once. He was a large, good natured man, full of kind words and jokes, and boylike I was proud of his noticing me at all. In my eyes a patent right man was a great deal bigger than a bunker because ho traveled over the country and had visited all the large eities. Mr. Partridge could skate, and so it came about after awhile that he went out with a dozen boys of an evening. All liked him, but on his part he seemed to like me best of all. It frequently happened that we went out together, and about the second time this occurred he began to question me about Mr. Peek and tho bank. I didn’t know that he was “pumping" mo or that ho could have any object in view, and 1 expect 1 told him all there was to tell. He had a slick, easy way of asking questions, and none of them had any significance lo me till long afterward. I remember that he asked about the key of the safe, Mr. Peek's habits and tin* fastenings of the back door, and in the course of three or four conversations lie probably got all tho information he desired. Mr. Peek had a queer habit, which may have 1 ecu tho reason he didn’t want an assistant or anybody but a boy about. When wo were alone in tho bank, he would talk to himself aloud. As he held me aloof, and 1 was si little afraid of him, 1 never let on that I heard him, and I don’t think ho was conscious of his habit. From what 1 overheard 1 knew about how business was going. For instance, one day a farmer deposited if’sfiO. I was not in the bank at tho time, but an hour later 1 heard Mr. Peek saying: “Let’s see. Mr. Jordan’s !*koo brings the total up to over $7,000—over $7,000. That’s good, but not enough—not enough!’’ 1 understood from this soliloquy that Farmer Jordan had that day brought in $800, and that the total amount of money on hand was over $7,000, but I Wiis only slightly interested. There was hardly a day ho didn't indulge in this habit of talking, but ho never said anything to attract particular attention until along about the 1st of April. He had then been established about two years, and the people looked upon him as a shrewd but honest business man'and his bank as a permanent institution. The banking hours with him were from 9 a. m. to 4 [i. m. Wo were at the bank at half past 8 in the morning, and it was after 5 in the evening before we left. After the close of business in the afternoon I swept and dusted and went away, leaving him there. About the 25th of March I met Mr. Partridge one day on the street. The weather was still cold, and there was skating on the ponds, and ho asked me to go out that evening. Wo did very little skating, but lots of talking. There was a good deal of money in the bank just rtien, as many loans had come due.

with a letter. I intended to go straight to father with my news, but changed my mind and decided to tell him when 1 went home at the usual hour. At closing time there w< io still two or three people in the hank, and I had to wait to do my sweeping. It was after 5 and fairly dusk when I had finished. I went out by the back door, as usual, but returned two or three minutes later after my forgotten overcoat in the cloakroom. I hud just reached it down when Mr. Peck came and closed and barred the door. I started to speak, but before 1 hail uttered a word he entered the cloakroom, picked up (lie carpetbag and walked out. Ho almost brushed me, and yet it was dark, and he did not see

me.

When he had gone, I tiptoed to the door, hoping to let down the bar and get out without iin alarm, but lie had taken the key from tho lock. Believing that the man meant to run away with the money, I was in great fear of him and instinctively retreated into the storeroom. I had not been there over five minutes when ho came down the passage with the carpetbag in his hand and sat it in the doorway anil went hack. He was whispering and mumbling and evidently much excited. 1 heard him lock the safe and walk about,and without really knowing what 1 did and claiming no sort of credit fur it 1 changed the hags. He returned after three or four minutes, put on his overcoat and hat, unlocked the door, and picking up the bag walked out and locked the door after him. While I was yet listening to his footsteps 1 smelled smoke, and hurrying up the passage found ho had started a fire under the counter and arranged things for a contlagratioii. There was water in tho cloakroom, and 1 soon had the fire out, and then 1 wanted to get out of the bank and give the alarm. I soon discovered that 1 must have help from the outside to do this, but though 1 kicked on the front doors and shouted for several minutes no one happened to pass or hear me. The family with whom Mr. Pick boarded had supper at 6 o’clock. I reasoned that some of them would be coming to hunt him after a spell, and my only fear was that the banker might return. There was a dry goods box full of kindlings in the storeroom, and I hid tho bag full of money in that. 1 knew it was money, though tho safe was locked. To prevent the banker walking in on mo by tho hack door I shut the bolt and put up the bar, and within a minute after I had accomplished this 1 heard some one walk up to the door. A court or alley about 15 feet long led in-

to bo found. He knew that something had gone wrong and eame over and removed the 'rag and held his pistol to my ear and thn atened mo with death if 1 did not explain. I told him just what happened, except the change of carpetbags, and h-* had no reason to doubt my veracity. Ho hail been planning for weeks to clean out that safe, but ihe hanker was ahead of him. He first made me promise not to say anything of his visit to the bank, but later on he appeared to think the* town would not be safe for him and asked me certain questions which led me to believe that he was going to the nearest railroad town. To get away safe he must leave mo tied hand and foot in the hank. I made vigorous protests and all sorts of promises, hut he replaced the gag, saw that the

knots were secured and started out.

It was now fully two hours since th" hanker left. He must have been two <>r three miles away when he discovered that he had the wrong bag. As the fire had not shown to give an alarm, he returned. Just as Mr. Partridge stepped nut of the back door he confronted Mr. Peck. I heard an exclamation from both, a struggle in the court, a pistol shot, and then all was quiet until a citizen came to investigate. It was an hour or more before any one get away in pursuit ef Partridge, and this delay permitted him to get safe away, and ho was never heard of afterward. There lay the banker. There was an empty safe. In the woodbox was the carjietbag crammed with nearly $15,000. They had to believe my story in spite of themselves. Every dollar of that money belonged to the depositors and was in duo time returned to them, and when they came to look up the history and the relatives of the banker they could find no history and no kin. He had made about $2,000; but, so far as I know, no heir has ever appeared to claim it. He was no doubt an adventurer who had come there with an object. I was a hero for a week, of course, but that was all. There was talk of raising a "testimonial,” but it was all talk. Not one of the depositors handed me tven a dime. They said I was a brave hoy, shoved the money down into their pockets, and the village soon set-

tled back into its old routine.
