Toblas, better known to his friends as Slick Sam, brought the revival Tee; to a resounding conclusion with e Singing of one of the three i e remembered from nis distant and somewhat hazy childhood. He stood on the raised platform at one end of the tent, under a flaming red banner er enquiring suc Sues cinctly: ARE YOU gazed down upon his congre, ua with an expression part avaricious- ness and part evangelistic fervour. The avariciousness was at the thought of the collection plate, which had returned to him over- flowing beyond his fondest hopes The evangelistic fervour was for the benefit of Mr. Steadman, the bank manager, who occupied a Prom) row seat with his teiler, Mr. a Mr, Steadman's presence lent tone to the meeting, and besides Sam was grateful to Mr. Stead- --Illustrated by E. L. Sonne In ten minutes the job was done, Sam slipped the chisel into his pocket. man for information gleaned dur- ing their frequent talks in the manager's office, information re- garding the workings of the ancient vault of the Beamsville Farmers' & Merchants' Bank, That information had required a considerable amount of pumping, on 2 high ethical plane. Sam had pointed out that the proximity of so much money must be a temptation very difficult for the bank's em- ployees to resist, even for Mr. teadman, who was the manager and not the owner, He had admit- ted, truthfully, that he himself would have been tempted. So Mr. Steadman had explained that the time-lock was always set by two eople, usually himself 'and Mr, Pr as a check on each other's honesty. Sam had agreed that that was very fine, and he had thought privately that it was also very fine to note that the ramshackle door could be opened somewhat more simply by the skilled em- ployment of a chisel. When the last hymn had been sung, Mr. Steadman arose and thanked Sam for conducting the meeting, and expressed the hope that he would be dropping in at the bank. "Thank you," Sam said, "I will." And he did, just as soon as he had clearéd the stragglers out of the tent and folded it and packed it into the rear of his car, be- cause it had only been borrowed for the occasion. These details took up nearly two hours, and it was well after mid- night when he approached the bank. Beamsville's main and only street lay sleeping-and deserted. In front of the bank stood the mane ager's car, but he had expected hat, Mr, Steadman lived across the street and normally parked it there, Sam pulled in behind it and got te expected to be undisturbed. The time-lock was always set for nine in the morning, and there was no night watchman. These facts, too, he had obtained through patient questioning of Mr. Hi rhe bank's front door presen= ted no problem. A child could have opened it. He stepped inside, closing the door behind him. Have ing memorized the building's ine terior geography, he movec with= out difficulty through to the rear where the vault was. He worked expertly with his chisel. It was almost too easy. He felt a little badly at the thought of what this was going to do to Mr. Steadman's faith in his fellow man, Stll, any bank man- ager ought to have more sense than to leave a treasury shipment of new bills in a vault which wouli have offered little resis- tange to a well-operated can- opener, In ten minutes the job was done. Sam slipped the chisel into his pocket and swung open the door of the vault, The vault light was on. Under it stood Mr, Steadman and Mr. Leary. Mr, Leary was holding & bulging black satchel. Sam looked at them and th looked at him. It was Mr. Stead man who first found his voice. "Well, Reverend," he said with heavy sarcasm. "I suspected that if we waited here we'd catch you red-handed." Sam thought he looked mighty startled for a man who had been expecting someone. He recalled Mr, Steadman having spoken of certain personal financial reverses, But he didn't call ettention to either fact. They held the cards and he knew it. "It was the temptation," he said, . trying to make his voice sound properly repentent. "I mens tioned it before." Mr. Steadman pursed his lips jue diciously. "Yes, you did," he ade mitted, "and I should have known." He made an unobtrusive signal to Leary. The teller said, "I'll go put this old satchel out in your car, Mr. Steadman," and left the vault like a frightened rabbit. "Now, Reverend," the manger continued, "I presume that this is a first offence, and so I am going to give you another chance, on the understandir.g that you will leave town without delay." "I will," Sam promised, making his gratitude as obvious as pos- sible, "and you won't regret it." He began backing out of the vault. Leary returned, and he and Mr. Steadman stood at the vault door impatiently watching Sam's re- treat. - Sam made it a hurried one. He ran from the bank and drove ra- pidly out of town. He drove all night, In the morning he bought a paper from the first newsboy he saw, and then went to a secluded spot along an unused road before stopping to read it. The story was there. FAKE REVIVALIST ROBS BEAMSVILLE BANK It vsas reported to police early this morning by Robert Stead- i{ man, manager of the Farmers' & Merchants' Bank of Beams- ville, that the bank vault was broken into during the night and a large guentity of money stolen. The robbery was discovered by Mr. Steadman, who lives across the street from the bani Edward Leary, a teller, went with Steadman to the bank and made the discovery. The exact amount stolen will not be known pending a further check-up. Sam sighed. Mr. Steadman had seemed like such a fine, honest, upstanding man.
