"That was before the trouble came,' she reminded. "Then he had his bank and his friends. If he loses one he will probably Jose most of the others and my place is with him." ; Sydney nodded gloomily. Thirty years before Joshua Whitehead and Cyrus Ware had been rival suitors for the hand of pretty Nellie Morton. Whitehead had won and Ware had never forgiven him his victory. White- head had then just founded the First National Bank of Carrsville and Ware had drawn his funds from the bank and vowed that he would never patronize the institution. Such banking as he had done was transacted through an insti- | tution in the next town, but Ware had | conceived a distrust for all banks and | most of the large fortune which he had . » H oy ol accumulated was stored in gold and bills | have the and bonds in the huge vault in the knit: ting mills; a vault as large and as safc as that in the bank. But in the second generation the feud wis hot carried on. Eunice Whitehead and Sydney Ware had fallen in love, with each other and, realizing the use- lessness of asking parental sancfiom, had agreed to elope and seck forgive- ness afterward. " To Eunice it seemed almost a punish- ment for her contemplated sin that the | run on the bank should have commenced the very day they had sect for their marriage. Instead of meeting Sydney with her suit case 'in hand, she had come to tell him that her place was by her father in his hour of trouble. Mrs. Whitehead had died shortly af ter her little daughter was born, and Eunice had bravely striven to take the place of her gentle mother in her father's heart. She could not leave him in his extremity even for the man she loved For a while they sat on the fallen trunk "which formed the seat in their rustic parlor. Vainly Sydney sought to urge the girl to his views, but he could not shake her resolution, and Eunice had just risen to go, when there came "the sound of séme one crashing through | e | putation probably knows what he is. Was the underbrush, and Cyrus Ware came into view. . His eyes flashed as he caught sight of the suit case that Sydney had brought with him and he turned to his son, "So it appears that you are going away," said Cyrus. "I suppose that this young woman-is to be your companion y g mm your travels. She will 'need some one to support her, now that her father has wrecked his bank." "He has not wrecked his bank dnd I am not going away with Sydney," cried Eunice with spirit. "Dad is afraid + that he 'cannot meet this run and will have to shut the doors, but he did not wreck the bank. He will be able to pay dollar for dollar. 1 was going to elope with Sydney, but now my place is by my father's side aid I came to tell Syd that I could not go." "But you were willing to sneak away like a' couple of thieves and be married' sceretly," taunted Cyrus. "1 suppose that the plan was yours and you en- tangled the boy." "That is not so," said Sydney hotly. "It has taken me a year or more to persuade Eunice, to elope. . We knew that there was no use asking either her father or mine and we did not sce why your absurd stubbornness should spoil our happiness." Cyrus stared at his son. Like most men of dominant personality he secrets Iv admired spirit'in others. It was the first timc that. Sydney had ever taken so bald a stand against a parental edict and he felt a thrill of satisfaction even while he spoke. "1 guess you'll find, happiness. with- out having to go to Josh Whitehead's | daughter for it," -he said harshly. "I avant a girl I can recognize as my daughter, not the child of a bank wrecker" Eunice sprang forward at the taunt BETTER THAN MONEY. Influence That Runs Through Life. !

The watchman at the door let him in ac once, and, without explanagios, Ware pushed his way ' into the president's office, where Whitehead sat puzzled"over long columns of figures. "He did not hear Ware's entrance and not until Cyrus' hand fell upon ' his shoulder did he look up. A "Josh," he said thickly, "I've been a blame foal for more years than 1 care to remember, but that's-ne- sign I've got to keep on to the end of my days.
