•Berwdrids had been among the leaders
of Boontown emeiety, and it was re-
garded as a matter of course that Chet
should have been made cashier and
paying teller when the bank was
started.
Some of those who had known Ches-
ter Berwynd's father refused at first
to believe the charge, but in the end
eitcumstantial evidence prove a too
strong to be ignored, and, though Hank
Simmons, the town constable, had a
suspicious moisture in his eyes, he led
Chet over to the little village look-
up and left him in a cell, promising
that a rocking chair and other un-
prisonlike conveniences should be sent
over from his own borne as soon as
possible. Hank had never forgotten
how old Dr. Berwynd had worked for
twelve hours over his little' daughter
?when she had had the membranous ,
croup, though he had just returned
from a long ride into the country.
One did not have to go back to Chet%
father for acts of kindness: As boy
and man Chet had always been ready
to give his aid to others, with no
thought of return, and his incarcera-
tion was a shock to the community.
Even after the venerable John HM -
OS had explained that there was a
package of five $100 bills and two $500.

Xor save Chet, who had denied: all

Ohm who refused to believe that Dr.

dean a mot, and it was one a the
things that shook her father's faith in
his own judgment. Judge Hollis Was a
believer in womaxes intuition. •
It was this which induced him to
hurry the trial In the hope that !some
evidence would turn up whereby the
accused cashier might clear himself,
and there was none more • pleased
when, two days before the trial, it was
discovered that rats had stolen the
package and had made a nest of the,
crisp paper.
Gertrude discovered the neat In a
cranny mider the cashier's desk. She
communicated her "find" to her father,
who was also president of the bank.
It made an insignificant little mass,
this expensive nest; but, svhile the mas-
ticated particles were too snacill to be
redeemed by the treasury departmeat,
It was plain to be seen that the nest
was composed of bilis. The nest was
duly brought forward at the trial and
was sufficient to acquit
Chester was the only one dissatisfied
with the acquittal, and that evening he
called at the Hollis home. Gertrude
met him with an apology for her fa-
ther, for whom the excitement of the
trial had been to much.
"It was you I came to see," returned
Chester. "I want to ask you a ones.

There had been no open courtship, but
It had seemed to her that there was
but one question Chester Weald want
to ask. eler heart beat high, but the
next moment her hopes Were dashed,
"Where did you reialy find that
nest?" he demanded.
"I told you this morning a the trial,"
she declared. "It was in the little cab,
byhole under your desk,"
"Whatever made you look there?" he
asked curiously.

London was there. Gay chat, bright
costumes, the latest gossip, everything
rather than the pictures, held the atten-

seemed to a slender girl with a clear
cut, attractive face who strolled
ly from picture to picture, lingering to
study one here and there, promising
herself to come again when there were
fewer people.
