For generations the •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. certificates which no one could accOunt Xor save Chet, who had denied: all 'knowledge of the money, there were Ohm who refused to believe that Dr. alerwynd's son could be guilty.

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.
