Would you like to hear a stony in which it figures Bolivar suia a story would fine, and the boys were all attention im- muedjat '. “Some years ago, boys,” Locke be- gan, “there was a man living in @ town less than 200 miles from this one who was not always honest. He made money often by schemes that were off color and he became wealthy. He was not especially popular, but his money made him powerful and most of his fellow townspeople were in awe of him, especially thuse who owed him. For years he prospered, and then reverses in business came. He lost all his money but a few thousand dollars through bad speculations and was one day compelled to beg\n all over again. His few thousand dollars were enough for an honest start, but he was limpatient and yearned for more capital. He knew somebody who had money and induced that person to let him have charge of it. It was deposited in the dishonest man's bank. “This taan had a brother, a lad of eighteen or thereabouts, a sort of green boy who, although his home training had been good, had always My 4 doom by 8 y eo his return, tag Little to say about the affair, for siviog bie sbow, Bolivar ts forced to go to churok In the ahead are chuit, and the old maid, Ann Miles Chase During the prayer reaches als au auble.

"I should have been more careful. Give me water!’ Inky ran for water, and the banker awooned. By the time the negro boy had returned with the water Locke and the other boys had placed the in jured man on a bed of boughs. Locke threw water in the banker's face and he revived and drank.

I've been @ coward.” Here the banker's volee grew husk; and he was compelled to stop. “Don't let the. past worry you John,” reptied Locke. “It's all over now. You know we agreed to let by gones be bygones.” “I know, Jim, but I've treated you badiy. I'm going to set myself right this far.” ‘The banker turned his head and asked Bolivar, who had re- tired a few paces, to approach. “My boy," be began, “! am hurt in ternally and I know I'm done for. | want to tell you something.

Having finished his story, Locke asked Bolivar for a look at the giant powder. Several sticks and a piece of fuse were shown him and he pro- nounced them in good condition, so far as he knew. A rusty pick was brought into play and each of the boys took a turn at drilling a hole for the charge, Locke finally asked for the pick and finished the Job. Locke then set the charge, attaching a piece of fuse to each stick and connecting them all up with a longer section of the fuse, "The charge all set, the boys removed the furnishings, from the cave, Bolivar then announced all was in readiness. “Bui said to Locke, “we told Mr, Luke we'd wait for bim go we better keep our wont.” Looke agreed and all sat down out- side the cave to Wait.
