[Original.] I am retired from the banking business after thirty years’ service On one occasion during tliis long term a singular tiling occurred. The bank 1 was connected witb was a small ail air, and we rare!\ had in the vault oxer fifty or sixty thousand dollars in cur rency, but at one time, owing to a peculiar financial condition of the country, we hud over two hundred thousand. This money had accumulated during the week and reached the above figure on Saturday at the close of banking hours. That Saturday night I fell to thinking about this great sum on band Our safe was an old pattern and could be readily opened by any bank robber with an ordinary capacity for bis business. The combination was known to two officers of the bank (the president and cashier) and myself. 1 was paying teller. I was not thinking of any danger from wiiliin, only from without. The matter having once got Into my head 1 couldn’t get it out. I sat at home thinking about it till after midnight and then, without any definite purpose, put on my hat and walked to the bank, which was hut a few blocks away. I strolled past the building, turned back and. yielding to an impulse, went in, made slr.iigbl for the vault, saw no evidence of change and was about to turn away when a desire seized me to see that the cash was there. I was turning the combination knob when the door opened and the cashier entered. “What are you doing here?” he asked. evidently astonished and at tho same time suspicious. “I came to see that the cash Is all right. What did you come for?" “I came for that too I confess 1 didn't expect to find the teller of the bank opening the vault at tills time of uiglit.” "And I didn't expect the cashier to put in an appearance. Your tone indicates a suspicion that I am here to
rob.”
“I can't think of anytliiug more sns ptclous than the teller of the bank opening tlie vault at 1 o’clock In the morning." At that moment a door at tlie other end of the room opened, and who should walk in but the president. On seeing us he looked surprised. “What's happened:'' be asked quickly. “Any funds missing?” “T think not," said the cashier. "But llicre is no tciling how much would have been taken had I not arrived at the nick of time." “1 was worried." I faltered, "at having so large an amount of currency in tlie safe and could not resist an impulse to come and see that nil was
right.’’
“And count the funds!" sneered tho
cashier.
"What brought you?” asked tlie pres blent of the cashier. The cashier tried to stammer out a better excuse than I had given and, failing, finally blurted: “And what brought you, for tlie matter of that? ’ “I? 1 ofteu come to tlie hank before going to lied to see that all Is safe. Sometimes 1 get up at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, come here, look around and go home. Tonight, having so much currency in tlie safe, 1 was especially anxious.” “Having come first,” I said, “on tbtf same errand, 1 presume I am caught in the act." “What were you opening Hie vault for?" asked tlie cashier. ''Couldn't you see that it hadn't been tampered with?" “I could see that it hadn't been blown open, but 1 couldn't see that the look hadn't been picked or that some one knowing tlie combination hadn’t opened it and taken the funds.” “Gentlemen," said the president, “we will have a look at Hie money and go
home."
I was directed to open the safe. The bills were found In plies as they had been left In the afternoon, and the safe was closed, and we separated. The next day l was called before the president fur an examination, which lasted two hours, and when 1 came out of his private office I saw the cashier go In, ns I inferred, fur a similar purpose. Notwithstanding that 1 showed a clean record, the president and cashier after consultation decided to dismiss me. I appealed to the board of directors, giving them a statement of the facts. After a meeting for consultation the board gave out a decision that the meeting of the three In tlie bank was a coincidence, that there was no guilt attached to any one of us, but, rather, we were all to be commended for our watchfulness. Tho only good this did me was that I retained my position. I was still under suspicion. This was fostered by j the cashier, who, I supposed, won over j the president to his views. Neverthe-, less the president acquiesced In the do cislon of the board and exonerated me. It was but a few weeks after all this happened that we were startled at an announcement that the president had resigned and the cashier had been promoted to the vacant position. I was smarting under what 1 considered a blow, for. since the cashier considered mo guilty of an Intent to mb the bank, he would likely put me out in time] when tlie new president informed me that I had been promoted to succeed him as cashier. I was thunderstruck. He did not refer to the past, and I went about my new duties in ignorance of whnt had happened to change the situation. In ten days it onme out that the president had lost $200,000 in the stock market. NELSON MAXWELL.
