But in response to a telegram Swearengen Jones. with pleasing irascibility. in- formed him that "any one with a drop of human kindness in his body would consider it his duty to give Christmas presents to those who deserved them.” Monty's way was now clear. If his friends meant to handicap him with gifts he knew a way to get even. For two weeks his mornings were spent at Tiflany‘s. and the afternoons brought joy to the heart of every dealer in an- tiquities in Fourth and Fifth avenues. He gave much thought to the matter in the effort to secure many small ar- ticles which elaborately concealed their value. And he had taste. The result of his endeavor was that many friends who would not have thought of remem- bering Monty with even a card were pleasantly surprised on Christmas eve. As it turned out. he fared very won in the matter of gifts. and for some days much of his time was spent in reading notes of profuse thanks which were yet vaguely apologetic. The Grays and Mrs. Dan had remembered him with an agreeable lack of ostentation. and some of the Little Sons of the Rich who had kept one evening a fortnight open for the purpose of “us- ing Up their meal tickets” at Monty‘s were only too generously grateful. Miss Drew had forgotten him, and when they met after the holiday her recognition was of the coldest. He had thought that under the circumstances he could send her a gift of value, but the beautiful pearls with which he ask- ed for a reconciliation were returned with “Miss Drew's thanks.” He loved “I’ve rgaily been White to 1:9.

Thinking that his presence might give confidence to the other depositors and stop the run. he went over to the bank with Harri- son and Bragdon. The tellers were handing out thousands of dollars to the eager depositors. His friends advised him strongly to withdraw before it was too late, but Monty was obdnrate. They set it down to his desire to help Barbs. ra’s father and admired his nerve. ors, at first xniidl}~ distressed and then seeing that the affair had become se- rious. grew more alarmed than they could afford to let the public see. The loans of all of the banks were unusu- ally large. Incipient runs on some ind put all of them in an attitude of can- tion. and there was a natural reluc- tance to expose their own interests to jeopardy by coming to the relief of the Bank of Manhattan Island. Monty Brewster had something like $200,000 in Colonel Drew’s bank. He would not have regretted on his own account the collapse of this institution, but he realized what it meant to the hundreds of other depositors, and for “'hen the bank opened for business on the Tuesday fo!lowing the failure there was a stampede of frightened depositors. Before 11 o‘clock the run had assumed ugly proportions. and no amount of argument could stay the on- slaught. Colonel Drew and the direct- say that he did not know how to ban- dle money. He heard that Miss Drev. in particular was bitterly sarcastic in referring to his stupidity. him. There seemed no prospect that the bank could resume operations, and if the depositors in the end realized 20 cents on the dollar they would be fortunate. Notwithstanding the fact that everybody had considered the in- stitution substantial there were not a few wiseacres who called Brewster a fool and were so unreasonable as to Brewster had money deposited in the banks. a transaction inspired by the wild hope that one of them might some day suspend operations and gereby prove a legitimate benefit to CHAPTER XIII. T was while Brewster was in the depths of despair that his finan- cial affairs had a windfall. One of the banks in which his money was deposited failed. and his balance of over $100,000 was wiped out. Mis- management was the cause, and the collapse came on Friday, the 13th day of the month. Needless to say. it destroyed every vestige of the super- stition he may have had regarding Friday and the number thirteen. “I'm going to charter a yacht and all away from this place for three or four months.” Peggy fairly gasped. “What do you think of the scheme?” he added, noticing the alarm and in- crednllty in her eyes. “I think you'll end in the poorhouse.

The colonel looked twent3 Sears older. and his voice shook om ' eeptibly. Brewsters pity went out to ; him in a flash. “I beg of you. Monty. help us.” The colonel's pride was gone. “It means disgrace if we close our doors even for an hour; it means a stain that only years can remove. You can restore confidence by a dozen strokesot your pen. and you can save us." He was Barbara‘s father. The proud old man was before him as .a'snppli; loss of his entire fortune on the fate or this bank? What would Swearen- gen Jones say it he deliberately de- posited a vast amount of money in a tottering institution like the Bank of Manhattan Island? It would be the maddest folly on his part it the bank went down. There could be no miti- gating qircumstances in the eyes of 91- ther Jones or the world if he swamped all of his money in this crisis. “You mean, sir, that I can save the bank by drawing my money from oth- er banks and putting it here?” asked Monty slowly. He was thinking hard- er and faster than he had ever thought in his life. Could he afiord to risk the “You can restore absolute confidence, Monty, my dear boy, by increasipg your deposits in our bank,” said the “Brewster, It looks had," said tne colonel, turning abruptly to the young man. “The other banks are afraid of “What can I do, Colonel Drew?” he cried. “I’ll not take my money out, but I don’t know how I can be of. fur- ther assistance to you. Command me, sir.” “Well, he ch have it, can't he?” asked the colonel quietly. Moore look- ed helplessly at the president of the bank, and his silence spoke more plain- ly than words. “Oglethorp wants to draw $250,000,” said Moore in .trained tones. “What is it, Mr. Moore?" asked Drew as calmly as possible. “Don’t mind Mr. Brewster.” The door opened suddenly, and one 01' "1e officials of the bank bolted in- side. his face as white as death. He started to speak before he saw Brew- ster and then closed his lips despair- ingly. “I c‘ame to assure you that I have not thought of withdrawing my de- posits from this bank, colonel. You need have no uneasiness”â€" “We can hold out unless some of our heaviest depositors get the fever and swoop down upon us. I appreciate your feelings in an an'air of this kind. coming so swiftly upon the heels of the other, but I want to give you my personal assurance that the money you have here is safe. I called you in to impress you with the security of the bank. You ought to know the truth. however, and I will tell you in confi- dence that another check like Austin's. which we paid a few minutes ago. would cause us serious though tempo- rary embarrassment.” "Sit down, Brewster, and don’t mind if I seem nervous. or course we caxi’t hold out. but it is terrible, terrible! They think we are trying to rob them. They're madâ€"utterly mad.” "I never saw anything like it. colo- nel. Are you sure you can meet all the demands?" asked Brewster, thor- oughly excited. The colonel's face was white, and he chewed his cigar nerv- ously. “He wants to help you to save your money.” cried Bragdon in low tones. “That shows it's all up." "(let out every dollar of it, Monty, and don't waste a minute. It’s a smash as sure as fate," urged Harrison. 9. feverish expression in his eyes. Brewster was admitted to the colo- nel‘s private office. Drew was alone and was pacing the floor like a caged animal. Colonel Drew. outwardly calm and serene. but inwardly perturbed, finally saw Brewster and his companions. He sent a messenger over with the request that Monty come to the president’s pri- vate office at once.

Inside of half an hour’s time several hundred thousand came to the relief of the struggling bank, and the man who had come to watch the run with curious eyes turned out to be its sav- ior. His money won the day for the Bank of Manhattan Island. When the happy president and directors oflered to pay him an astonishingly high rate of interest for the use of the money he proudly declined. “I don’t understand, but if it is your wish I promise.” “I “in do all I can, colonel ” said Monty, “but upon one condition. ” ‘ That is. "’ “Baxbara must never know of this.” The colonel’s gasp of astonishment was cut short as Monty continued, “Promise that she shall never know.” The proud old man was before him as a suppliant. ant, no longer the cold man or the World. Back to Brewster’s mind came the thought of his quarrel with Bar- bara and of her heartiessness. A scratch of the pen one way or the oth- er could change the life of Barbara Drew. The two bankers stood by, scarcely breathing. From outside came the shuflie of many feet and the muf- fled roli of voices. Again the door to the private office opened and a clerk excitedly motioned for Mr. Moore to hurry to the front of the bank. Moore paused irresoluteiy, his eyes on Brew- ster’s face. The young man knew the time had come when he must help or deny them. Like a flash the situation was made clear to him, and his duty was plain. He remembered that the Bank of Man- hattan Island held every dollar that \irs. Gray and Peggy possessed. Their meager fortune had been lntrusted to the care of Prentiss Drew and his as- sociates, and it was in danger. Church Umbrella. "J -â€" We have mm! We. the for-Ila oi 9 car no We do.
