One dark, rainy night in Novem- | ber 18--, the Flint Rock Bank that nestled beneath the sleepy elms shading the principalstreet ofaquiet Now Englund village was entered and robbed of a large sum of money. The sitaation was peculiar, A large and remarkably "intelligent mastiff with white feet called 'Siver Stocking," made the bank his home, and always slept there at night.-- a stranger camé around he would | howl like a park of artillery ; but he | was never known to bark at one | with whom he was familiar. Every | thing in the bank, the morning after | the robbery, was found justas it had been left the evening previous. The safo was locked, only--the mcney -| was gone. President Strand and cashier Moreton, gentlemen of unblomished reputation' had gone in company that evening to attend a political meeting in an adjacent town, and on account of a storm remained there over night. They drove home the next morning to find that the bank where reliability in every respect had been the pride of their hearts. had been robbed in their absence.-- As is often the case with country banks, whose business is not large or complicated, the president and cashier alone attended to the clerical duties of the Flint Rock Bank, no other persons being employed in it, Various mothodes were vainly made to ferret out the theives. All sorts of rumors were afloat concern- ing a large number of suspicious charactors that had been seen in the village a few days before the robbery and it was said that a carriage had been heard driving through the streets that same night. Popular opinion finally settled down in the beliet thut the money had been taken by a gang of New York Burglars; but the robbery and the numerous moans used to trace the perpetrators tormed the chief topic of conversa: tion among the villagers during the entire winter. Miss Ethel Moreton, the beautiful young daughter of the cashier, had been made ill by the excitement, and by nervous fear lost her father should be blamed in some way for the loss and had not left her room since the crime was first discover- ed. y One evening in the following April Wetherell, owner of a store in the village called on Mr. Strand at his residence, and showed him a bank note which both the gentlemen agreed was the same one Mr, Whetherell, bad deposited in the bank the aftornoon preceeding the robbery. The note had been torn and mended in such a way that it was quite noticeable, and was re marked upon by the two gentlemen atthe time. The note was, they thought in one of the packages that 'Jhad been taken. Mr. Whetherell, on being asked how itcame into his hands, said : ¢ Mrs. Remington gave it to him this afternoon, in paying a bill con- tracted by her husband soon after they enme here last sutumn, abont a fortnight before the bank was robbed. They bought cashier More- 33) ton's Elm-street house, moving into it, you know when he took posses- sion of his new house around the cornor.' And after some furthor conversa- tion upon the subject, the two gent- lemen went together to call on Mrs. Remington. They found that her husband had just returned from a two weeks' business trip. On mak- ing known their business Mrs. Rem. ington, a quiot lady-like little wo- man, said ; * When wo purchased this house, Mr. Moreton. the former uwuer and occupant, proposed that we should take tho furnishings of the front hall, that had been mado to order to fit a curiously shaped room. An antique chair fitg, the curve'of the stairway. the mirror- hat-rack just suitsthe niche made by the chimney-flue, and the carpet, of course was one to fit the floor. 'Thinking that we should be un- able to suit ourselves better, we bought the articles, not moving them at all the past winter. This spring, while my husband was abgent on his recent trip, I thought I would clean the house, and accord- ingly commenced operations in the front hall. I found the hut rack to be on castors, easily rolled it out of its nich, and began with brush and dust pan to clean where it had stood when, far back in the corner, with a few autumn leaves, covered with dust, I found that bank note.' I bad no idea how it came there, and thought I would not mention the finding of it to any one until my husband's return when I could ad- vise with him about it, This morn- ing Mr. Wothorell's bill was sent in. We had promised to pay the bill the first of April, and, a3 we were com- paritively strangors here, 1 thought it bost to pay it at once. I looked over the coutents of my pocket book and found that by using this ten- dollar notéll could make the amount. I gave the money to the messenger with eomo migivings, 'but thought if I had done wrong, my husband would, on his return, which I bad not expected so soon, make the matter right. I had just related the circumstance to him when you came in. Although the story seemed a very plausable one, and the Remingtons were evidently respectable people, a warrant was soon issued for their arrest. A preliminary hearing be- fore a magistrate was had, aud they ware bound over to the Superior Court, Mr. Remington's friends readily furnishing bonds, he and his wife were not deprived of their liberty. A supplementary warrant for searching their house was given to a the house. Ble did not remember whether or not she bad told he: about the secret cupboard. » The term of court for which the Remingtons were to be tried for the robbery was now at hand, but, on motion of tho eminent counsel whom they had retained, the case was continued till the next term. -- As the money had been recovered, and there was a pronounced public sympathy with the defendants, the bank officials, especially Mr. More- ton, were anxious to have the State's Attorney enter a nolle in the case ; but Mr. Remington insisted on legal examination, One day during the early summer the family physician, who had known Kthel 'intimately from her birth, surprised Mr. Moreton with the announcement that his dau hter was kept ill by some mental trouble, and that he believed it to be in some way connected with that bank af- fair. : 'She fell ill,' said Dr. Knowlton, ' the day the robbery was discover- ed. From a child she was never afraid to go out in the dark. Shois familiar with all the outs and ins of the bark. Old Silver Stocking is fond of her, and she would have no fear of him, She knew of the scoret cupboard, and the money was found in her bag. Besides, her nervous attacks always occur whenever the bank affair is mentioned in her!pres ence. The burden must be alleviata ed or else she will not live to see ta Sh " . full of the plan, end declared, vou know, my intention to remain at home duriog the Autumn to see our moving inte the new house. 'After I b% made up my mind to do wrong clicumstances conspired to Tead me on, I planned and planned, 1 went often to the bank to see you, and petted old' Sil- ver Stocking mere thau ever, I came to now ai about this combination look of its safe, and whore you and Mr. Stran to set down the Htabors tua se When you sent Mrs Remingtot to 'look Si | would t ctpboard, and that perfected my plan. I could ale ways go about in the dark freely, and in familiar places could find anything I watited nearly as easy ns if it was light. TIkept 010 or two keys to tho hall door of our old louse, and knew where you placed the keys of the bank at night. ' When you and Mr, Strand went together over to Wellington to attend that meeting T thought my opportunity Lad come. About midnight amid the storm that had come up atter you had gone, T got on your oil silk coat, left the bouse by cur summer path and entered the side door of the bank, "Silver Stocking never made a sound exe cept to sniff a little to be sure it was I, I bad taken my traveling bag to put my money in, and a wax taper to light the safe with after 1 had opened it- There was such a lot of money that I took more than I in= tended to. After I had opened my bag T reached out and took another note that was left locked in a little drawer, and tucked it under the flap. 'I huriied out of the Lank, though carefully locking the safe and doors after me, and went directly across the strect ta Mr. Remington's. I easily entered the hall and placed the bag in the cupboard, That ten dollar note, no doubt, got displaced another autumn.' This private interviow with the faithful and skillfal old physician had sought with Mr. Moreton was' hardly over betoro the latter, almost broken down by a bewildering sor- row, repaired to his daughter's sick chamber. If took much persuasion, and re- iterated presentment of the fact that tho innocent were suffering for the guilty, to induce Ethel with sobs and tears to tell hor story. At last she said : "You know, papa, that I was at that French boarding school in the city two yoars. There were in the institution what we called secret cliques. Just a fow of the girls with congenial tastes met regularly in each other's rooms. These wero the 'Lovers of Laughter,' and the 'Ten Tried Travelers," each having passwords and signs. I belonged to the 'Ton Tried Travelers. The society was at first useful in its de- sign and tehdencies. 'We went on imaginary trips around the world, and at our meot- ings, dressed in traveling suits, had our maps, guide books and well- stored lunch baskets. We" would the officers, and they proceeded to | make a thorough scouting in the| basement and rooms on the first | floor. When they reached the front hall, in their way to the chambers, Mr. Moreton, who had been raquest. ed to assist in the search, pulled out tie hat-rack, and passing his hand down the old fashioned ceiling be- hind it, touched a hidden spring.-- Tho door of a secret cupboard that was framed into a bend of tho chim- ney immediately flew open. There in the lowest shelf of the small and otherwise empty recess, lay an embroidered traveling bag, which Mr. Moreton took out and unstrapped. To his and the officer's astonishment, and to the dismay of the Remingtons, the bag was filled with packages of bank-notos, which, on examination, proved to be the identival ones taken from the Flint Rock Bank. The Remingtons both affirmed that they bad never known of the existence of the cupboard, which Mr. Moreton said he himself had made some years ago as a storage place for a quantity of valuable and unused silver. So far as he knew no one had been aware of the loca- tion of the cupboard excepting him- self, his wife now dead, his son Walter, who was in South America, and his danghter Ethel, who had not been out of her room in six months. He had left it to her to show Mrs. Remington over the house at the time of the purchase, and supposed she had told her about the secret cupboard. The attention of the little group round the bag was now called by Mrs. Remington to an ornamented scarlet monogram--'E. M.'--on its front, embroidered within a wreath of brilliant autumn leaves. 'This bag snrcly belonged to my daughter,' said Moreton, excitedly. When Ethel was questioned in re gard to the matter she said she bad had been ill. Mrs. Remington had. called on her a few days before the robbery, but she could not believe stop and explore every considerable town and interesting point. 'Towards the end of the first yoar Julia Marshall came to the school.-- She was a very stylish young lady, who had traveled all over Europe and the East. Each of the cliques vied in efforts to get her, but ours was successful. One of our society having left school, sho was installed as one of the 'Ten.' She was very handsome and fas- cinating, and had been in society a great deal, but came to Madame Lelana's to perfect herself in music and Erench, previous to going abroad again, this time on her wed ding tour, Sbe fairly bewildered us girls with tales of adventure, and proposed that when she went on this trip we should all accompany her; being a married woman she could chaperone us. 'Wo all asked our paronts, when we went home at Christmas, if we could go with her, and wero all re- fused, as you. papa, may remember in my case. Thon, on our return, Miss Marshall proposed that we should get up a fund, putting into it all the money we could by any de- vice coax from our parents, and place it in her hands to pay cur ex- ponses on the still fondly cherished trip. She was then to invite us to go with her, and our parents were to believe that we were to be her free guests. But we could not get near enough money for the purpose. ¢ At the beginning of the spring term Julia got changed around so as to room with me, She used to talk with me until I became completely carried away with the allurments of the proposed trip. She pictured out the ion ten han and el ly dress. ed young American girls would create in the fashionable circles in Europe with titled young men following in our train and giving us entertainments. At last she proposed that I should take some money from the bank, knowing as she did that yon, papa, kept the keys.
