A STRANGE THEFT. By CHAiiLES B. LEWIS (M. QUAD). [Copyright, 1X14, by Charles B. Ia-wIs.] At the age of 20 I was cashier in ti e retail dry goods house of Hope, Brown , & Co., and in taking the position I was 1 of course introduced to the tellers and other ofTicials of tho national bank with which we did business. Our house hail a large trade and always carried a fair balance with the bank, and in addition to this I had a few thousand dollars’ deposit in my own nanio. After awhile I came to know the president and several of the directors, and now and then/ had a noonday lunch with tho cashier. I can say without egotism that I stood pretty high in the estimation of both the firm and the bank, and that another six months would have given me a flnancial interest in the former had it- not been for the adventure I am about to re-

late.

I may tell you, to make things more clear, that I was a steady young man, given to pass the evenings with my books in my own room or in tho society of a few good frii nds. I was not given to drink or card playing, and, taken all in all, was as steady going as could be asked of a young fellow. As cashier (JT the firm, having an office in rear of tho store, 1 seldom came in contact with any of the customers unless a check was presented in payment for goods. One day after I had been with the firm for

“MINT) WHAT I A At SAYING TO YOtj!” over two years a clerk sent mo in a check drawn on the bank we did business with. Its face value was if.'10, and tho purchase was only 00 cents. It was drawn to the order of nnd indorsed by George II. Bell, and my duty was to telephone to the bank to learn if tho check was O. K. This involved a delay of a few minutes, and while I was waiting for an answer Mr. Bell came back to my desk to see what the trouble was. Ho did not come to complain of tho delay, but, on the contrary, to excuse himself for offering the check under tho circumstances. He was a fine looking, well dressed man of 30 and rendered himself so pleasant and agreeable that I took quite a liking to him. He asked about trade, touched on the weather and polities and casually mentioned that ho was from Chicago and t hinking of establishing business in our town. The message from the bank was to the effect that Mr. Bell’s check was all right, and when ho departed with his change we had a pleasant good day for each other. Three days later I met him in the restaurant where I took my lunch, and a few days after that ho called at tho store to ask mo several questions about business matters. Afer that 1 always found him at the restaurant at noon, and it naturally came about that we got on a friendly footing. He told me in confidence that lie was looking to establish himself in the gentlemen’s furnishing lino, hut was waiting for a certain building to bo completed. I had no doubt that he spoke tho truth, but had no great interest in his movements. I did nut invito him to my rooms, nor did he ask me to call on him at his hotel, but one evening, after 1 had known him for about three months, he knocked at my door. He desired to ask me a few questions on strictly business matters, and of course I invited him in. He remained for a couple of hours, and when he went away I had the best kind ot an opinion of him. On the following day he walked from tho store to the bank with mo as I made my regular deposit, and we chatted pleasantly together at the receiving teller’s window. On that occasion he drew a check for a small amount, and the paying teller promptly cashed it. In the course of tho next four weeks Bell met mo on the street or in the bunk half a dozen times, and at the bank it was plain to all that we were on a friendly footing. If tho thought had come to mo that Bell had a game to work, I should have dismissed it on tho instant. Should he present another check at tho store, no matter how small the face valuta 1 should have telephoned, ns before. My instructions wore to do this in every case where tho financial standing of tho party was not vouched for. Had some ono warned he that ho was a sharper I should not have feared him, as he could get nothing out of me or tho firm. It never occurred to mo that ho was anything else than what ho hud casually described himself to be. The store he designed to occupy when completed was half a mile off my route of travel, and though 1 knew it was building 1 had no interest in the matter beyond occasionally inquiring if things were going to his satisfaction. At lunch one noon Bell told me that he expected to leave for New York in a day or two to purchase stock, and 1 jokingly replied that I hoped to bo his first customer after the store was opened. He appeart d at the hank at the usual hour, and this time he checked out his balance, which was about $1,000. While ho was getting his money we talked of his store nnd intended business trip, and I iutr.viucod him to a hardware mer-

chant named Wattorson, with whom had long been acquainted. It was a distance of four blocks front our store to the bank. The bank closed at 3, and it was my invariable rule, in order to avoid the rush at closing, to leave the store at 2:30. The amount of my daily deposit depended, of course, on the state of trade and collections. Sometimes I had several thousand dollars in checks and cash and sometimes only a few hundreds. On the day after Bell checked out his balance he entered the store just as I was ready to leave for the bank. He excused himself by asking some question about a New York house, and we walked out of the store together and headed for the hanky As we entered the institution 1 stepped to one of the desks to look over my checks and cash and see that all was correct, and Bell followed me to finish something he was saying. We were almost in front of tho paying teller’s window, but with onr backs toward him, and there were half a dozen people doing business. All of a sudden Bell crowded close up to me, and in a voice scarcely above a whisper—a voice which hissed and grated and had a menace in it—he said: “I have a derringer in my hand with this handkerchief, and if you cry out or make a move I’ll bore you through tho heart!” For a few seconds I was stunned. My first impression vas that some one was talking to some one else behind us, and I was about to turn around to set' when Bell’s elbow pressed my side, and he said in the same tones as l>efore: “Mind what I am saying to yon! I am a desperate man and willing to take desperate chances t Do as I tell yon nnd all will be well. Kick up a row, and I will kill you on tho spot!” I glanced at him and noted with amazement tho great change of facial expression. He AVits, ns I have told yon. rather good looking, with a habitual smile, which told of anything except evil intentions. His mild blue eyes were now the color of polished steel, nnd his jaw was hard set and betrayed his determination. I wasn’t sure whether 1 was awake or dreaming when he reached out for my book and currency and checks and said: “I'll take charge of the greenbacks, and you can deposit the checks. How much currency do you make out?” “There’s upward of $4,000, ’’ I replied, and to this day I remember that my voice sounded so strange that I wondered who had spoken. “Not ns much as you have had on some other days, but a fairly good haul,” said Bell as he laid the checks aside. “Now, then, do you understand the situation?” I stared at him without answering. It had come to me that I had fallen and been badly hurt, and I was trying hard to figure it out. “It is just this: I want this money, and I want the money you have on deposit in your own name. Yau’d better wake up and collect your wits or something will happen!” I made a tremendous effort to shake off the queer feeling that I had, and I came out of it exactly as one does from the effects of laughing gas. All at once I was fully alive to the situation. Bell xvas closely watching me, and as he noted the change ho said: “Be sensible now. You can’t afford to sacrifice your life for a few thousand dollars. ” “What is it you want?” I queried in a whisper. “Just this: I want tho firm’s currency here, and I want you to draw your check for what money you have in bank. You are astonished, of course, but let me tell you that I have been planning this affair for months, and if there’s any slip in it I’ll shoot you dead in your tracks and take my chances of getting away. ” “Are you George H. Bell?’’ I asked, still doubting myself. “Of course I am,” he replied. “And you mean to rob me?” “Yes, call it robbery. You have several thousand dollars to your credit here. Fill out this check and step to tho toller’s window with mo and hand me over the monev. ” “But I won’t do it! I’ll call for” “Fool, do you Avant to die right here?” ho hissed as he crowded mo closer. “Feel the muzzle of that derringer pressed into your side! Raise one yell, and I’ll kill you! Take the pen and fill out the check. ” You may call it cowardice and boast of what you would have done in such a contingency, and I shall enter into no dispute with you. There was a menace

remarked:

He had changed some, but I recognized him almost at once, and as soon as I spoke to him he called me by name. For ten days his chances of recovery were good. Then the case took a bad turn, and at the cud of the fourth day he died. I did not denounce him <m sight, as you may think I should have done.
