scenic aBin % | His Little Paradise By MORRIS SCHULTZ Luclus Griggs, president of the: Ninth National bank, was smiling | as he sped in his car along the pike | at four in the morning. He had already put twenty-eight miles be | tween himself ahd Royceville, and ren plenty of time to catch the lim- In his suitcase he had a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which’ he had abstracted from the bank vaults, There had been not the . Slightest difficulty about it. He had | sent the watchman away on some | well-reasoned errand, had abstract: | ed the money, and walked out. The theft would not be discovered until eight o'clock. Plenty of time! Ob, ‘plenty of time! ‘ . He was thinking of the little par. + adise he had planned for himself | in Europe. At the same time he | knew-that {f he had fhe chance, he would replace the money and go back to Royceville, But that was impossible, for he | could not send old Martin away | again, at five in the morning. | Five o'clock—six., It was grow- ing light. Griggs was heading for a mountainous district, beyond | which lay ‘the large town where he meant to catch the train. He saw | another car approaching the single | road from the Royceville directton. The two roads joined into one that , went straight through the pass. And as he watched it a singular | fear began to come over him that | 7 this car was in pursuit of him. | It was a foolish idea, only it was | going at such a rate—and why! should anyone be traveling from, Royceville at that hour of the morn- | ing? Moreover, it looked to Griggs as if the two cars would reach the fork of the two roads slmultane- ously. Making his calculations, Griggs slowed down. He wanted the other | car to get ahead of him. Then he; would bg able to shake off that absurd fear of his, : To his dismay the ‘other car be- gan to slow down perceptibly, too. Thereupon Griggs threw on speed. The other car slowed down still more. , ; e Griggs became frantic. It’ was evident now that the other car was in pursuit of him and wanted him. to be first at the pass. He slowed down still more, and the other car, , after making transparent efforts to ' maneuver, threw In a burst of speed. The result of all this maneuver. ing was that the two cars seemed likely to reach the pass together. Griggs began to crawl. -He was wiling to face his pursuers, if necessary,; but he was not going to get ahead of them and be at their .were possibleito promote him. But ‘ IN _ Tatas that appearance.” - “Well, it’s too bad. I shqald lik to give the old man a chance. He much @bout the business | as the vest of us ‘put. together. Whom shall we put in this place?’ They discussed the matter with- out coming to any decision, Mean- while old Jennifer was sit at his. bookkeeper’s desk, plodding away. He was an rt book- expel keeper, one of those dry, withered be ot pis pie pet pore, te be ice hacks. Every day he changed his shabby, threadbare old coat for an office one, roiled’ up: his cuffs and took his seat. N 7. spoke to him, nobody knew anything | about him. It was understood that | Ne was married and lived some- where In the suburbs. Howard, glancing at him across the rodm, had an imptlse of compassion for him. Hag he children? Was his wife livitg? He wished that: it Gregg seemed to feel bound by the understanding effected at the time of his father’s managership. i The men were carrying ont the heavy desk. Suddenly one of them tripped over something, stumbled, droppéd his side of the desk. The other man dropped his. The an- cient, worm-eaten piece of furni- ture fell te pyeces. It was full of dust and» .y as a bone de. “Hello!” cried Gregg. “Howard, come here!” . N Howard, hurrying up, saw that a secret drawer had been ‘disdosed. He had used that desk ‘for twenty years and never known of it. “Just look at all thosé papers!” galled Gregg. “What's this?” said Howard, pull- | ing out an old yellowed envelope. | It was crammed with bills. How- | ard shook thent out. and counted | them, The men who had been car- | rying the desk stared hard. There were one hundred ten-dollag bills. “My God,” said Gregg, “you know what those are, Howard!” “The money Jennifer was sup» posed to have stolen, evidently.” “Of course, It’s perfectly clear now. My father must have thrust them into this drawer when he wa! called out-of the room and then been unable to find them, See, this envelope had become wedged in this | crack. When he opened the drawer | again, ip pressed the envelope back. Of course he never found It. “That lets out Jennifer.” “It does look like it.” “We've done the old fellow a hideous wrong all these years.” i “We must make amends for it. | We've ruined his life.” “How about that promotion then?” “Why,” sald Gregg, “don't you ‘think he’s a little old, Howard? We want new blood, don’t we?” “Let's have a talk with him,” suggested Howard. Jennifer was sent for, He came up in his ‘slow way, Howard and Gregg looked uncomfortable. mercy. 2 He saw red. He was desperate, frenzied. He no longer cared what happened, He saw: his little para- dise melting away.” Why had he been such a fool as to steal the money? He would have given all the ~ svorld if he could have been happily back at his home in Royceville as a1 the evening before. The second car was rapidly ap- proaching the fork of the roads. After a moment's indecision, it stid- denly made a spurt, reached the intersection of the:two roads and stopped. Griggs saw the two de- tectives in it, and he no longer doubted. And, filled with madness, he made a wild dash toward it, He saw the two men stand np, heard cries of alarm, saw thelr futile ef- fort to draw ont of the way, and then, with a shout of triumph, he had driven his machine full-into tt. “Jennifer,” said Gregg at last, ‘we've found that thousand dollars my father lost,” “I thought it would come to light some day, sir,” safd Jennifer. “Yes, it was in a secret drawer In this old desk. Er—Jennifer, the firm feels it owes you a little—er— | compensation. Here, take this!” He peeled off a ten-dollar bill and gave it to Jennifer. _ | (@®. 1923; ‘Western Newspaper Union.) i NOTICE FOR MORTGAGE FORE- CLOSURE SALE Notice is hereby given that that | certain mortgage executed and deliv- ered by Leander Elki and Mary Elki, his wife, Mortgagors, Brothers, Incorporated, dated the 16th day of 1912, and -filed for record in the of- fice of the Register of Deeds of the County of Burleigh and State of to Mortgagee, ‘There Was a smashing and splint- ering of chassis and tonnean.
