Car- ter Westfall was his good friend, and the cashier had tried, unoMolally, to, dissuade Westfall from borrowing after he had admitted that he was going to use tho money in an attempt to buy up the control of his own company’s stoc’s, He tore the second envelope across and took out the {nclosed slip of seratch-paper, It was a note from the President and It was dated with- in the hour and had been written at the bank. It was a curt summons; the cashler was wanted at once, CHAPTER Il. = MITH put on his atreet coat and hat and went to obey the President's summons. He saw that there were only two Lights in the bank, Smith had his own keys and he let himself in quietly through the door on the side street.

His faco, with the cold, protrusive eyes, the heavy Ups and the dewlap lower jaw, was the feos of a man whe shoots to kill, “I suppose you've heard about Westfall?” sae oane Smith nodded, “You may remember thet I advised Sgainst the making of that loan when Westfall firat spoke of it,” he eald, after he had mastered the premoni- tory ohill of panto, “Tt waa a bad risk—for him and for us.” suppose you won't deny that the loan was made while I was away in New York?" was the challenging re- Joinder. “It was. But you gave your eanc- tion before you went East.” Tho President twirled his ohatr to face the objector and brought his palm down with @ emack upon the denk slide. “No!” he stormed, “What I told you to do was to look up his collat- eral; and you took @ snap judgment and let him have the money! ‘eat. foll {9 your friend, and you are a stockholder in this bankrupt com. pany, You took a chance for your own hand and put the bank tn the hole, Now I'd like to ask what you aro golng to do about it.

That is the only safe thing for you to do, If you need any ready money"—— it was at this point that J, Mon- tague Smith rose up out of the ste- nographer’s chair and buttoned his coat. “If I need any ready money,’ he repeated slowly, advancing a step to- ward the President's desk. “That ta where you gave yourself away, Mr, Dunham. You authorized that loan, and you meant to authorize it. More you did it because you to use the bank's money to put Carter Westfall in the hole ao deep that he could never climb out. Now, it seoms, you are willing to bribe the only dangerous witn don't need money badly enough to @ell my good name for it. I ehall stay right here in Lawrenceville and fight it out with you! The President turned abruptly to his desk and his hand sought the row es. With a tinger one marked “Police,” isn't any room for argument, Montague, You can have one more minute in which to change your mind. If you stay, you'll begin your fight from the inside of the county jail." Smith stepped quickly across th intervening space and stood und reach of the man in the big ewing- it all cut and dried, even of the police trap, he gritted, hardly ogn r to hang me first and try your own case with the directors afterward. Mr, Dunham, T know you better than you think I do; you are not only a damned crook—you are @ Yellow-tive ered coward, as well! You don't dare to press that button!” Tho President had half risen, and the hand which had been hovering over the bell-pushes shot suddenly under the piled papers in the corner of the desk. When it came out it was gripping the weapon which ts never very far out of reach in @ bank. Good judges on the working floor of the Lawrenceville Athletic Club had said of the well muscled young bank cashier that he did not know his own strength, It wae the alght of the pistol that maddened him and put the driving force behind the am ing blow that landed upon the big man’s chest Two inches higher or lower, the blow might have been merely breath-cutting.
