\ WHICH WAS THE <
) GUILTY MAN? \
(Original.}
I am retired from the banking bust*
ness ufter thirty years' service. On
one occasion during this long term a
singular thing occurred. The- bank I
?was connected with was a small affair,
and we rnrely hnU lu the vault over
fifty or sixty thousand dollars Iji cur
rency, but at one time, owing to a pe
culiar financial condition of the coun
try, we had over two hundred thou
sand. this money had accumulated
luring the week and reached the above
figure ou Saturday at the close of bank
ing hours.
That Saturday .night I fell to think
ing about this great sum on hand.
Our safe was an old pattern and could
be readily opened by any bank robber
with an ordinary capacity for his busi
ness. The combination was known to
two officers of the bank (the president
and cashier) aud myself. I was pay
ing teller. I was nut thinking of any
danger from within, only from without.
The matter having ouce got into my
head 1 couldn't get it out. 1 sat at
home thinking about It till after mid
night and then, without any definite
purpose, put ou my hat and walked to
the bank, which was but a few blocks
away. 1 strolled past the building,
turned back and. yielding to an Im
pulse, went lu, made straight for the
vault, saw no evidence of change and
was about to turn away when a desire
seized rue to see that the cash was
there. I was turning tho combination
knob when the door opened and the
cashier entered.
"What are you dolus here?" he ask
ed. evidently astonished and at tho
sauie time suspicious.
"I came to see that the cash la all
right. What did you come for?"
"I came for that too. * 1 confess 1
didn't expect to lind the teller of the
bank opening the vault at thla time of
night"
"And 1 didn't expect the cashier to
put in an appearance. Your tone Indi
cates a suspicion that 1 nm here to
rob."
"1 can't think of anything more sus
picious than the teller of tho bank
opening the vault at 1 o'clock In the
morning."
At that moment a door at the other
end of the room opened, and who
should walk In hut the president On
seeing us he looked surprised.
"What's happened'/" he asked quick
ly. "Any funds missing?"
"I thluk not." said the cashier. "But
there is no teiliug how much would
have been taken had I not arrived at
the nick of time."
"I was worried," 1 faltered, "at hav
ing so large an amount of currency In
the safe aud could not resist an Im
pulse to come and see that all was
right"
"And douut the funds!" sneered tlie
cashier.
"What brought you f" aslaed the pres
ident of the cashier.
The cashier tried to stammer out a
better excuse than I had given and,
failing, dually blurted:
"And what brought you, for the mat
ter of that?"
"I? I often come to the bank before
going to bed to see that all is safe.
Sometimes I get up nt 2 or 3 o'clock iu
the mornlug, come here, look around
and go home. Tonight, having so much
curreuc.v In the sale. I was especially
auxlous."
"Having come tlrst," 1 said, "on tha
same errand, I presume I am caught in
the act."
"What were you opening the vault
for?" asked the cashier. "Couldn't you
*ee that It hadn't been tampered with?"
"1 could see that it hadn't been
blown open, but I couldn't see that tho
lock hadn't been picked or that some
one knowing the comlJnntlon hadn't
openeil it and taken the funds." t
"Gentlemen," said the president, "wo
will have a look at the money and go
home."
I was directed to open the safe. The
bills were found In piles as they had
been left in the afternoon, and the safe
was closed, and we separated.
The next day 1 was called before the
president for an examination, which
lasted two hours, and when I came out
of his private office I saw the cashier
go In, as I inferred, for a similar pur
pose. Notwithstanding that 1 showed
a clean record, the president and
cashier after consultation decided to
dismiss me.
1 appealed to the board of directors,
giving them a statement of the facts.
After a meeting for consultation the
board gave out a decision that the
meeting of the three in the bank was a
coincidence, that there was no guilt at
tached to any one of us, but, rather,
we W?re all to be commended for our
watchfulness.
The only good this did me was that
I retained my position. I was still un
der suspicion. This was fostered by
the cashier, who, I supposed, won over
the president to his views. Neverthe
less the president acquiesced in the de
cision of the board and exonerated me.
It was but a few weeks after all thla
happened that we were startled at an
announcement that the president had
resigned and the cashier had been pro
moted to the vacant position. I was
smarting under what I considered a
blow, for. since the cashier considered
me guilty of an lnteut to rob the bank,
he would likely put me out In time,
when the new president Informed me
that I had been promoted to succeed
him as cashier.
I was thunderstruck. He did not re
fer to tho past, and I went about my
new duties In Ignorance of what had
happened to change the situation.
lu ten days it came out that the pres
ident had lost $200,000 in th? stock
market NELSON MAXWELL.
[Original.]
In the days when Mexico was In a
chronic state of revolution Slgnor Her
rero lived on his, hacienda doing his
best to avoid being entangled In any
of the various strifes that succeeded
one another fcr the possession of the
government, for to be on the wrong
side meant denKi. Donu Marina, Her
reni's eldest daughter, was courted by
Slgnor Juan Bustamente, a nelghbor
| lng hacienda owner who had done a
great deal to establish the government
then In power. He was more than
twice Mnrlnn's age and was especially
disagreeable to her. But she was
urged by her family to accept him on
the ground that if she declined him
he might seek revenge by Impugning
i her father's loyalty to the government
But Dona Marina loved Phlllppo j
Mendoza, the son of a neighboring I
planter. Urf.?ed to give him up for j
Bustamente, tbrou?h fear she consent
ed, but not for long. She confessed to |
Bustamente her love for Mendoza and
begged him to release her. He did so
at once, with many expressions of grief
and wishes for her happiness. By this
course Marina turned what had been
feared for her father against her lover.
Bustamente, thinking that If he got
Mendoza out of the way Marina might
yet become his wife, secretly accused
bis rival of plotting with one who was
knowr. to be fomenting a new revolu
tion. Mendoza was arrested and taken
no one know where.
As soon as tho news of the arrest
reached the Herreras, not suspecting
Bustamente, Marina Implored him to
use his influence with the president In
behalf of her lover. He promised to do
so and set off at once to the capital os
tensibly for the purpose. He knew
very well that Mendoza would hav?
been executed before his arrival, for he
luid so arranged with the government
What he wished was to conceal his
own part lu the murder and gain credit
?with Marina that would benefit hla suit
lu the future.
There Is a law In Mexico that one
executed shall be left where he falls
till friends or relatives come and take
away the body for burial. But at Men
doza's execution there was no one to
claim the body. Bustamentc had ar
ranged that he be taken to a distant
province from which the news of his
execution would be long In reaching
his friends, especially Dona Marina.
Mendoza was taken out In tho gray
of tho morning- and was stood up be
fore eight soldiers, who at the word of
comtnaud tired a volley at him. He
fell. The commander of the firing party
took a look at the body and saw that It
had several wounds In the thorax and
two In the head, any one of which
might be expected to kill him. The sol
diers were marched away and a writ
ten report handed in that Phillppo
Mendoza was dead.
But Mendoza was not dead. Notwith
standing his wounds after the firing
"party had marched away he revived.
For a time he supposed that be had
awakened in another world. Yet thero
above him was the same blue sky he
had lived under, and he could hear cat
tle lowing. Making an effort, he raised
himself on his elbow, looked about him
and down on his blood stained cloth
ing. Then, making another effort, he
got up and walked several miles to a
hospital.
He could not keep the secret that he
had been executed, and word soon
reached those who had been charged
with his execution. Fearing that they
would be blamed for neglect of duty,
they proposed to shoot hhn again, b*.t
before they could agree upon this
course the news of the strange case
reached the governor of the province.
He had been on the bench, and the
oiTly thing In the. world he respected
wits the law. He took the matter un
der consideration, at last deciding that
Mendoza had been executed, had been
reported dead and was therefore dead.
That Is, he was dead In law. Therefore
those who had been ordered to execute
him had nothing further to do with
him. He was without legal existence
In the republic of Mexico. No further
report of the matter need be forwarded
to the government, for there was noth
ing to be 8.1 Id about one who had been
reported legally dead.
One evening as Slgnor Bustamente
was returning from a visit to the Her
rera hacienda he heard a voice from
bushes beside the road ordering him
to halt He stopped, and a man step
ped Into the road a short distance be
fore him. His cheeks were hollow,
his Hps were thin, his eyes were wild,
his face was white. Bustamente saw
his rival, or what he considered hU
rival's ghost.
"Are you of the living or the dead?"
"I am dead? legally dead. But that
you shall not again have me executed
I am a firing party to execute you."
The ghost raised a rifle and shot his
enemy dead.
When Mendoza appeared at the Her
rera hacleuda no one there knew what
had become of him. He told the story
of his execution and that he had exe
cuted the man who had brought it
about. His visit was brief, and no one
except the Herreras knew that he bad
been there. The slayer of Bustamente
was never known. Soon after all this
occurred a new leader of the party op
posed to the government arose, march
ed to the capital, took it, executed
every member of the government and
was proclaimed president He was
none other than Mendoza.
When it was found that the new
president was strangely given to par
doning malefactors the people said,
"How can one who is leg/illy dead kill
others?" But In this his wife Marina
had a hand.
