There are different wnys of further

Shortsighted persons can see only one
way, which is acting on the adage,
"Every fellow for himself and the
devil take the hindmost." Neverthe
less men have made fortunes by help
ing others The difference between
this class and the other is that one

When I was a young man I obtained

That i: i! juilfjuieut in making

j the loans I could nncl sold at n great
uacriflce all my private property. This
[ fund 1 turned Into gold, took It to my
home and concealed'it under a board
' In tlie Door. 1 proposed to keep it to
enable me to pass a crisis.
The financial barometer—the New
Yoclt stock market—continued to fall,
ami ir» ney grew proportionately scarce.
One morning 1 heard that a run had
been started on Rudfleld'a bank, and
as the dHy wore on the line before the
paying teller's window Increased.
There was nothing like a run on my
bank, but during the day the amount
drawn was three times the usual av
erage.
I The next day the line leading to tha
J paying teller's window of Redfleld's
bank was increased, and at noon Red
I field came to my bank and told me that
he must either have help or close his
doors. He asked for It on the ground
that If he went under the panic would
extend to me and 1 would be-carried
down with him.
I told him that I did not think so.
That there would be a run on my bank
I was willing to admit, but my Intelli
gent depositors would not draw their
money, and I could pay all the rest
"Then," he said. "1 am ruined. 1 am
too old to begin again, especially with
a debt hanging over my head. If I
had $20,000 or $30,000 to tide me- over
the rest of the day I could pull
I through, for tomorrow I am promised
payment on a sale of bonds I have
made."
It was then 12 o'cloi-k. I told Red
field that I would consider the matter
of helping him and let him know by 2.
If not earlier. lie went back to the
hungry crowd before his bank, and I.
calling an auto cab. went home. There
I found my wife and told her that I
was called upon to save Redfield. with
the strung probability of going under
myself later. If 1 gave him the gold
I had In reserve he would pull through.
But my trouble was still to come, and,
without the funds I had sacrificed my
property to provide 1 knew I could not
meet a run.
Sly wife thought a long while before
replying. When she did she suid:
"Give It to bin). He Is an old man
:ind to break down would kill bin), i
have little doulit tb.lt In saving bim
you will go under. Lint we nre com
paratively young mid can begin again."
"Remember," I said, ••beginning again
Is a hard thing to do."
"So it Is, but when 1 or another must
perish J prefer to give way to the I
other."
Without replying, 1 took up the ,
board concealing my treasure and was j
about to put the gold in a satchel when
my wife stopped me.
"Go back to the bank," she said,
"and let me attend to this. You are
needed there, and I can convey this
gold to .Mr. UedUeld."
There were the shining gold pieces
that I bad accumulated 6lowly and by j
constant work and that I was going
to send to another on the eve of need
ing them ihyself to save me from ruin.
" "Charity begins at home,"" I said
to Molly. "1 fear we are going to do j
something we will regret"
"That adage has a good deal of I
truth In it." she replied, "but I have I
never come across any adage that will ]
cover every ense. I prefer the one j
'Cast your bread upon the waters.'"
"Very well, sweetheart; If we go I
under through saving another yon will !
not chide me with having done so and
I shall have a stout helpmeet with
whom to begin anew."
1 left my wife to attend to the mnt
ter In her own way and returned to
my own Immediate duties.
A few minutes before 2 o'clock Molly j
came to my bank.
"Well." she said, "I've taken the gold i
to Mr. Red field. I chose a coarse bag
that had held potatoes to carry It in, j
and the bulk looked very small, it oc- 1
curred to me that I would" be seen de- j
Uvering It at the bank and If I could I
mako the crowd believe there was <
more of the gold It would induce con- |
tldcnce. 1 emptied the coal scuttle '
standing beside the range Into the hot
torn of the bug and put the gold on
top."
"All of It?"
"Every dollar." _
"Go on."
"When I sot tlie coal and the gold In
the bag and had tied a string around
the top 1 cut a slit In the bag near tho
gold, over which 1 held my band. Then
I called a cab. got In with the treasure
and drove to the Henderson bank.
When I reached it 1 sent In for some
one to come out and carry it Inside.
The crowd watched the clerk tako tho
bag from me. and as I handed it to
him I took my hand away from the slit
I had cut in it. and out rolled half a
dozen gold pieces.
"The crowd set np a shout, and, hur
rying the clerk into the bank, 1 picked
up the pieces on t he pavement—that
is, all i could tiud. I think i must
have lost something like live half ea
gles. or ?25."
"An investment worth 525,000!" I
exclaimed.
"As I went into the bank to take a
receipt for the funds there was an
other shout, and 1 noticed a number
of persons leave the line."
I threw my arms about Molly's neck
nnd kissed her.
There was a call at the telephone. It
was Red field.
"That wife of yours," he said, "far
more than tho gold she brought has
saved me. We have counted a dozen
depositors whose accounts would ag
gregate $30,000 leave the line. The
gold wouldn't have been enough. It
was the coal that did it!"
I told Molly that 1 had had some very
large amounts drawn during tlie day
and If there was as much cash called
for on the morrow I would surely go
under.

seeing n line of unintelligent depos
itors before my bnnk waiting for the
doors to open. I thought I could stand
the run for that dn.v, and 1 did, but
the next as early as 11 o'clock our
funds bad been so reduced that I knew
we could notTceep paying till the clos
ing hour.
The morning journals had given an
account of my wife's arrival at Red
field's bank with a bag of gold and of
the effect It had produced. This help
ed me a good deal, but It seemed that
every depositor I had in the lower
walks of life was In line. It was half
past 2, and our pile had been reduced
to $200. Despite the delays practiced
by the receiving teller to gain time I
knew It would not hold out for the re
maining half hour.
At twenty-nine minutes to 3 Mol
ly drove up (o the bank with u sack
and called for some one to carry it into
the bank. 1 rushed out. seized It and
ran with it into the bank amid the
plaudits of the crowd When 1 got it
Into my private office and opened it,
hoping that Molly had effected a loan,
I was shocked to see n.'thing but nut
coal.
Hut her ruse »vas effective. Some
of those in the I no. having deposits
which for their ci: ss were quite large,
on seeing her carry In a bag, suppos
ing that she was repealing her act of
the day before, left the line, leaving
those near the window whose accounts
were very small When the clock
struck .'{ and the window was closed
there was but .?I2 in the bank.
