Thousands of creditors gathered

attended the opening of the bank's

Many of those, who had money In
the bank had neglected to bring their
affidavit blanks and were excluded
from the bank. . They were driven
nearly frantic by the sight of the
money stacked on the counters and
the fear that they would not get their
•hare of It.
The llrst depositor to draw her share
of the 20 per cent dividend was n wom
an. who drew out $370.60 out of a
total of 9l.t75.63 she had deposited In
the Institution.
"We are old people," she said, "and
my husband, who Is over do years old.
Is sick and cannot work. We have
saved all our lives In the hope that
we could have some little comfort Just
before we died. Now t suppose we
will lose most of what we have saved
up.”

BORROWED PLUMES
By LESLIE THOMAS.
In the corner of an otherwise empty
corridor carriage sat the Hon. Peter
Logram, regarding with complacent eye
the reflection In the small hand-glass
which lie held before his face, and al
though his sole remaining hirsute
adornment clustered more particularly
to his head . he smoothed down an
Imaginary parting carefully, giving a
grunt or two expressive of satisfaction
as he did so.
The platform without was apparent
ly deserted, and, having halted for a
brief interval at a little-frequented sta
tion, the train was now slowly gather
ing speed.
Suddenly, however, the sound of rap
id steps and the panting of a runner
caught his ear through the open win
dow. Evidently a belated passenger
was making one final sprint In the
effort to board the moving train. Then
nn adjacent carriage door slammed vio
lently.
"Idiot!" muttered Mr. Logram, testi
ly. "Deserved to be killed!”
He picked up a wig of thick, black
hair from a box on the seat beside
him. "Might ns well try this on, too,"
he said to himself, rumtnatlvely, set
ting It upon his head.
"All this mnkes one feel quite a child
again," he thought, smiling.
He brought the glass nearer. "H'm!
• • * That seems to fit very well—
looks almost natural, In fact.”
"Yes, very useful things, aren’t
they?” said a quiet voice at the door.
"Come in handy now and again."
The Honorable Peter turned* abruptly
on the Intruder, nn Individual, attired
In a top hat and frock coat, with ob-
lous—but unavailable—pretensions to
smartness. His clothing was some
what disarranged, his tie awry. His
face was red.
"I beg your pardon,” said the Hon
orable Peter, icily.
"Don’t mention it!" beseeched tho
new-comer, airily. "Don’t mention it
at nil! I was only saying what useful
things those— By gad!" he cried In
amazement; "why. if It Isn’t ’Daddy,'
good old ’Daddy!'"
Mr. Logram was somewhat taken
aback at first. Then his choler rose.
"What the"—he spluttered. "How
dare"—
"Hardly knew you at first—with all
that black hair," said the top-hatted
gentleman, calmly. "Why, you’re got
up fit to kill—absolutely regardless." he
added, admiringly. " ‘Daddy,’ you’re a
marvel—a perfect marvel!"
"How dnre you, sir!” Mr. Logram
brought out nt last. " ’Daddy,* Indeed!
Of all the pieces of Impertinence—!"
The other man broke Into a roar of
laughter. "Good, but It won’t wash
with me, you know. But I’m all right,
old chap." He went Into paroxysms of
laughter. "I'm one o’ the boys, I am.
Name o* ('nrshott—Jimmy Carshott.
They’ve often told me about you down
at the club, Besides, you’re a public
character, you are, you know. They've
got a copy nf your ’physog’ at every
big police station In England, I should
think!"
"Do you mean to Imply?"—
"Course they have! You know that
as well as I do," said Mr. Carshott,
sharply. "Needn't try to 'come* It over
me, thoygh, 'cause It won't wash."
"But look here," Mr. Logram ex
postulated, Tm not the man—the—
er—friend of yours that you suppose."
"Oh, cheese It!” said Jimmy Car-
shott, rudely. "Be sensible, do! To
come to business, now. Have you got
such a thing as another ’o them wigs
und a change *o duds for me. If so, I’ll
hire 'em from you for the day."
"I have not!” said the Honorable
Peter, firmly.
"Tell you, why,” Mr. Carshott con
tinued. unmoved, "I hnd two of 'em
from Scotland Yard on my track at the
last station and only managed to catch
this train and get away from 'em by
the skin of my teeth. They’re aure to
wire on, too, you know, and things’!!
look rather awkward for me at the next
stop."
"That’s not for half an hour," Mr.
Logram reminded him.
"Oh, good egg! 1 ’ commented hla
companion, cheerfully. "May be able
to do a bit of u change in that time.
Lucky thing, rather, me hanging on to
this train."
The Honorable Peter shook his head
helplessly. He was. past speech.
"Oh, well,” said the top-hatted gen
tleman, sharply, "If you’ve nothing to
suggest—" He shrugged his shoulders.
"By the way," he added, suddenly, "for
got to mention It before—chaps at the
club were talking about it the other
night. Hard luck on you, I call It! Your
wife’s on your track again."
"My what?” asked Mr. Logram,
sharply.
"Your wife." repeated his companion,
firmly. "Your first—the Newcastle
ofie.”
"But you’re In error, my good sir. I
am unmarried," said Mr. Logram,
fiercely.
Jimmy Carshott lifted a reproving
finger.
"Oh, you naughty old nian!” he re
marked, playfully. "Mean to say that
last one at Sheffield—O'oh! Well, she’s
after you, anyway. Better be care
ful.”
The Honorable Peter rose hastily and
began to collect his luggage. "I think
It would be better,’’ he said frigidly,
"If I were to change Into another com
partment.”
"Oh! Don’t want to get mixed up
with me when the ’tees’ look In, eh? I
quite understand, p’r’aps? I shan’t in
terfere with you. By-by."
Mr. Logram moved off toward the
adjoining compartment. But it was
full, and ns he came to the end one he
caught sight of a familiar face through
the glass.
"Lady Pnrklnton!” he stammered,
hurriedly. "Lady Parklnton and her
girls! What Infernal luck! Now, what
am I to do? I must get rid of this”—
he raised a hand to his head—"some
how, I can’t very well take It off in the
corridor, either. If any one should
see me • * • and besides !”
Disconsolately, he wandered back to
his former carriage. Mr. Carshott
looked up as he entered.
"Hullo!—back again?" he remarked,
pleasantly. "Here, I say," he Inter
jected hastily, "don’t be an Idiot now!

Prenently a slackening of speed her
alded their arrival at the next station.
Mr. Carshott withdrew his head from
the window.
“Be careful not to say anything that
will give me away," he said, beseech*
Ingly.
And he deliberately set himself to
crawl under the neat.
The train stopped. An Inspector and
two constables opened the door ab
ruptly. The sound almost awakened
the Honorable Peter Logram, for he
grunted and shifted his position
slightly.
"Beg pardon, sir." The inspectors
tone, as he tapped the sleeper on the
shoulder was distinctly apologetic.
"Haven't seen a chap In a top hat and
frock*coat, small black mustache and
dark complexion, I s'pose?"
Mr. Logram opened his eyes lazily.
“Eh! Have I seen what?" He waxed
indignant. "How dare you come here

articulate rage. ^ .. ,
"Ha!” 1 know you now, ’Daddy am •

Mr. Logram groaned; then set him

With considerable trouble he packed
his thick traveling overcoat * Into a

Its stead a light-colored dust-coat,
which he drew from one of his bags.
"Wish I’d never undertaken to get

But on arriving at the next station,
and noticing the careful preparations

side of the affair came uppermost in
his thoughts. It was with a sense «>r
