Thissematien so interested me that when I reached Cincinnati I scarcely realised the express was. as usual"o .sn ot contain a comfortable hotel. I knew Mr. Bwope by sight. having eomeinoonteetwithhim on a number of occasions while doing business with the bank of which he was teller. The Lâ€"--â€" papers I bought in the Union de- pot gave further details of the stair and contained also the announcement that the bank directors had adored a re- ward of $1,000 for Bwope’s capture and 10 per cent of the cash returned, which would make a total of $10,000 if the res- cal was caught beforehe got rid of his booty. After eating an unsatisfactory lunchl took aseat in the general waiting room of the depot and ruefully awaited my train. As I did so I noticed ayoung man approach my seat, and placing his ve- liae on the floor alongside my own, to which it bore a strong resemblance, it down while he looked cautiously around at the clock on the wall and then at the omclals moving about. How long he sat beside me I don't re. member, but after a time he slowly arose f and walked over to the telegraph office at the farther end of the room. Before , he came back a strong lungedindivldual in uniform stepped up to me and bowled 3 out the names of the towns which the - train about to startwae bound. for. Hur- riedly picking up my Yahoo, I made . straight for the gate and was soon aboard my train for the west. The journey was made with the usual ‘ The depot at N-â€"â€" Y-â€"â€"-. Ind.. where I had to stop over from 10 p. in. till 5 the next i morning, had been rebuilt since my last visit to that town, and remembering too Well my hotel experience there a year before I resolved to spend one night in the depot waiting room with a few other passengers who shared my mie- fortune. All that night the face of the stranger who had occupied a seat beside me in the Cincinnati depot haunted me. There was: something about him that reminded me of Teller Swope. He was just his size and build. His mustache, to be sure, was wanting, but that he should shave of! this appendage was to be considered 3 matter of course. The gold spectacles he wore very much resembled those I had associated with the face of the into]. lectual leaking teller. and I had observed on his fingers a number of rings, jewelry that Mr. Swope was said to be very par- tial to. As I turned the matter over in my mind the more convinced I felt that I had lost a splendid chance of capturing I f, the thief and securing a “0,000 reward. When 6 o'clock at last came round, 1 boarded the train for Lâ€"â€"â€", not in the best of humor, and two hours later or: rived at home feeling very blue. After taking a slight brea fast, I went down to the ofice. where the big robbery was still the talk of the clerks. Each of themhadatheoryofhisownasto where the thief had gone, and when they sppeeled to me for my opinion I dole- fully recounted my experiences of the previous evening. 0f ecurso they unani- mously agreed with me that I had very foolishly allowed the fugitive teller to ell out of my fingers. not before going out to lunch e mee- seuger boy languidly entered the office and handed me a note from my wife.

It is an institution which heuan business here three years ago and has en- joyed the full confidence of the public from the very start. It is needless toobserve that banking business in the great and glorious west differs oonalderably from banking business in the contracted and eflete east. The boys rather left the matter in our hands, and our first move was to picket all the roads leading out of town. with orders to capture any book official deed or alive who should attempt to skip. We then st» tioned a man lathe alley in rear of the bank. and another in front of the house of the president. Then. taki ilve eminent citi- sens with us. we call at the bank and asked for a statement. The genial presl~ dentat first informed us that the liabilities were $82,000 and the assets only sumo. and i that failure was certain. buts. few min ute’s conversation changed everything about. Ills second statement showed assets at M8,- 000 and liabilities nothing. We personally assisted to count the money and figure up ! the collateral. and when this task had been completml the genial president decided notto announce a auepenslon. We have ‘ over 813,000 on deposit, but are not in the 2 least anxioua. Not one of the people con» ‘ nectod with the bank can get out of this . town without flying through the air.
