dence in me. It will not require any
dishonesty In you. but it will need a
big sacrifice on your part"
"What Is IL Mr. KhrllcbT
Ehrlich arose, went to the door and
locked it. then, returning. continued
in a Ion tone:
"The government Is going for us In
the m;it:cr of these frauds the news
papers are full of. The attention of
the people has been concentrated on I
theni. aud public opinion will force the
administration to press the matter to
the bitter end. They've got me In a
bole. I
"I hare been In charge of this de |
partniont In which the frauds have :
been committed during the time of i
their perpetration. When a man Is j
chained he cant fight Free, he could
do anything."
The speaker paused and gare his lis j
tener a searching glance before he pro '
ceeded:
"Now, l want you who are perfectly j
innocent to stand in the gnp till this '
spasm of virtue blows over Your j
books can be so filed as to throw ail !
the blane on you and exonerate roe i
This wi! leave me free to fight. Just j
as soon an it Is all over we'll brine '
forward proof to give you a complete J
exoneration Meanwhile youll have j
to remain in a false position and may j
have to spend some time behind bar*, j
but when yon come out you'll have !
$100,000 to your credit"
The young man's color rose and his 1
eye sparkled at the amount of money j
he could make, but his face changed |
at remembering that the act proposed ]
would l?e virtually a bribe and would i
Involve a stain that he conld never ef- '
face.
The money would enable him to j
marry the girl he loved, bnt would j
bring disgrace on her as well as him- i
self. In one light only could It be con j
sklered excusable Ehrlich had be
friended the boy In many ways. ?nd
the girl Citmmlngs love*' was Khrllch'g i
daughter. Through her father she j
would be a great sulTerer If he were j
subjected to a criminal prosecution.
"1 understand exactly what you |
mean. Mr. Ehrllch." said the young |
man after a short silence, "but 1 can i
not give yon an ansrver till 1 have had
ample time to think the malter over.
After I have done so ill tell yon
whether I'll stand In the breach of not
One thing I can tell yon now. If 1
save yon It will not be for pay. but
on account of the favors you have done I
mo and bemuse f love your daughter." I
That evening Cunning* and Marian
Khrllch had a lone conference The !
girl's position was a terrible one. Ei- *
ther her father or her lover must be
put In a criminal position.
She could not bear the thought of '
either being stigmatized. and If she j
were empowered to decide which
?hoold suffer U woild be Impossible for i
her to W'. Irncl them lioth too
well.
"I think." MMiCvnmtn|% "that we'd
better mak?> ?he>*n< rlfl.-e Your father
Is not ? ynong man mid will not be
able to bear the strain. 1 shall bar*
the consciousness of Innocence and
(hat 1 am aievlng you through hfm
"1 wish." she snld. 'that ( could
stand In thhi (rapln-?teHd f you. Can't
yon And some tray to Implicate ma and
exonerate fntlier?"*
"That would not only Ik? impossible,
but. If possible. would deceive neither
the court* nor the public. Indeed. It la
fortunate that our engagement la not
known. It might lend to the belief that
I was doing juai what It la proposed I
ahall do."
It wan tiii|(o*slhle for her to deride
for him. He must deride for himself.
"Good nijht." he said. "When you
hear of my derision It will likely be
through the newapapera."
He departed with the conviction that
j if be doclded against the propoaed plan
I no blame was to be attached to him
If he derided to save ber father at hla
own expense ahe would Idolhw bltn
He waa jonng and a man of noble
Impulaea. That nieana that hla judg
!' mrnt would be warped
The next afternoon'a newapapera con
| talned an announcement of the dlahon
esty, the biise Ingratitude, of J a mo
Cumminga. who bad beeo taken np by
I Khrllch as ti boy and placed In a con
! tldentiol poaitlon and had been arreated
J as mainly responsible for the recent
frauds In the custom house. The ar
ticle went on to atate that now the
government bad got on the right track
the rascality would be speedily uo
earthed.
James Curumings was tried, convict
ed and sentenced to a term of four
year* In prison The man for whom
be made the sacrifice worked hard to
save him and doubtless was influential
In securing ?o short a term, though the
weak point In the case against Cum
minga was that It could not be shown
that his corruption had made him
| rich, and this militated In his favor In
j the matter of his sentence. Ehrllck
| as soon as his substitute had entered
upon bis term of imprisonment began
to put into C'lH-ration plans to get him
out
I Having moans at his command and
considerable influence, there was ev
ery probability tlmt he would have
been able to- reduce Cumminga' term
by one half. But before that time he
redeemed bin promise to eionorate his
protege. After the affair bad blown
over another stool pigeon? tbl* time
for a consideration? was hired to con
fess himself the arrb culprit Ebrllck
mw that Ctimmings' vindication was
published broadcast throughout the
land and aero red a pardon for him.
Cumminga left the Jail with but one
pleasing emotion. That waa to he
again united with Marlon Ehrllck. He
had not seem her since the night he
had left her with the momentous de
clslon before him. for If he waa to
stand In ber father's place It waa !ro
portant that there shonld be no sua j
plclon that She matter was a family j
J pnt up game. As w?? to be expected,
the girl received hltn. worshiping him
as an Idol.
"Thank heaven." sne exciairnea.
"yon are exonerated.""
Cum mines made do response to this
for awhile, hut Anally ?ald:
"My exoneration would atand? that
la, with those who hnve seen It pub
lished or otherwise heard of It? but
there I* another decision before roe of
more lmportunce than th? one I made
with referenre to your father. It Is
a question whether I take back the
obliquy that 1 voluntarily took upon
myself to save him."
"What do you mean?"
"As soon as our engagement Is an i
nounced the public will suspect what )
was to be fe.ired In the first place. It !
will be said that the family, of whlcb
I was at that time virtually connected, i
having (rot Into difficulty 1 consented
to be the scapegoat and that I shall
now enter Into the enjoyment of my
part of the 111 Rotten gains. The only
way in which my vindication will
stnnd Is for rue to leave you forever."
"I had not thought of that" she
said despondently. Then. looking up.
she asked:
"And yonr decision l*~?
"That yon are worth far more to roe
than a vindication that will not stand
the test of public opinion."
He took he? in his arms and felt re
paid for all he had suffered.
When Cnmmlnga met Khrlich again
he said. "And now. my boy. what can j
I do to show my appreciation of your I
splendid sacrifice V
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" The word was apoken j
In a broken v?lce.
"I have done this thing, as 1 told
you In the first place, on account of
your kindness to tr.? and because I
loved your (laughter I receive my
reward In the consciousness that I have
repaid that kindness and shall possess
the girl I k>vi?. Though there Is noth
Ing more tbit you can do for me.
there Is something you can do for your
self? reatore the money you have taken
dishonestly."
There Is a government secret that
has been well kept It la that a large
sum of conscience money waa turned
ln*> the treasury of the United States
Cnmmlnga married Marian Khrllch,
and since both were young and wonkl j
be under a cluud where they bad lived
Ihey went to a distant country, where
they re-established themselves. Cnm
mlnga has again and again been solic
ited to enter public life, but be haa al
ways declined, knowing that aooner or
later he wonU be attacked aa a awln
dler of the government and an ex-Jail
bird.
As for his fiitber In-law. Influenced by
the Cnmmlnga example he turned In
his profits ant>njmon*ly and found re
lief by working for Ms dally bread
like any other laborer.
