Fascinating Stories of Institu-

The Bank of England buildings cover
about four acres of ground, and the
screen wall around, which is all the
passing public sees, encloses a very
pretty garden court, once the old
churchyard of St. Christopher -le -

for protection has passed away, for
the Bank's treasure is now guarded

derful. He would alter the amounts

frauds lasted over a period of many
years, but when at last he was run to
:astir he committed suicide.
One of the most remaritabie forgers
of modern times was Henry Fauntle-
ray. On his arrest as a fraudulent
trustee a long list of forgeries on the
Bank of England was found, by which
he had caused n loss to that institu-
tion of no less than $1,800,000, His
ingenious reason for his crines was
that he bore a grudge against the Bank
for destroying the credit of his bust -
nese, and be had sworn that it should
smart for doing so.
The embezzlement of Exchequer
bills to the extent of $1,600,000 by one
of the Bank's cashiers, Robert Aslett,
was one of the greatest blows it ever
had, A remarkable defence was a fea-
ture of his trial, and he was ultimately
acquitted.
Among the great scenes which
stand out prominently in the history
of the "Old Lady" are the times when
great loans have been floated. The
taking up of what was called the
Loyalty Loan, in the 18th century, fur-

could help it, she was so frank and
friendly and kind-hearted.
"Believe me, Edna Walker, I never
