\Yhen I first ttok my seat as a clotk In
onr bank th'j RtAi0 of the country W B far
loss s ( o t'nnn It Is now. The ready were
not only uncontclous of imcuahm , and
fulal In many places to whooU and
lnRj , but dangerous to 'a still moro
ilarming degree from the ratragoa and
'obborios to which the trarolers were oz-
oa cd
Mon'a minds were nneettlod by the in
cidents of the wnr on which wo had jast
jntorcd commerce was Intorrnptod ,
ircdlt was at an end , and dlstroes began
, o bo dlecovcrcd snoDg whole clanaoa of
, ho Trliolo classes o the population who
md hitherto lived In comfort. However
harshly the Inrw was admlnlatcrod , R
aormcd to have o terrors for tbo ovll-
door , and , Inflftod , the undisoonilng cru-
dlty of the statute book defeated its own
object by punishing all crimes alike. But
a titno of poonnlary prcaiuro n not a 'bad
season fora "bank.
The hotuo nourished , though the
country was In great straits , nnd the on
ormona profits at that tinio realized by
bankers which enabled thorn to pur-
chnc largo cetatoa and ontabino the old
torrltorial aristocracy made the profce-
ston as unpopular among the higher
claB833 as it had already become among
the 'Unreasoning masses. By thorn a
banker was looked upon as a sort of
a licensed forger , who created enormous
auma of money by merely signing square
pieces of flimsy paper , and lam persuad
ed the robbcryof a bank would have boon
considered by many people qnito as meri
torious an action nj the dlaporjal of u
band of coiners.
Those , however , were not the uonti-
mcnts of us bankers' clerks. Wo felt
that wo belonged to a mighty corporation ,
on whoso good trill depended the pros-
peiity of half the farms of the country.
\Vo considered ourselves the executive
government , and carried on the business
of the oflico with a pride and dig
nity that would have fit-
od us for secretaries of state.
Wo used to even walk the streets with a
oragtjadocia air , as if onr pockets wore
loaded with gold ; and if two of us hired a
gig for a country excursion wo pretended
to look nndor the driving seat as If to see
to the safety of Inconceivable amounts of
money ; ostentatiously displaying our pis
tols to show that wo were dctormlnod to
defend our treasure or die. Not seldom
thcao promotions were required in reality
for when a pressure tor gold occurred
among our customers , tire of the most
courageous of the clerks were di'patched
with the required amount in strong
leather bogs deposited under the seat of
the gig , which bags they were to guard at
the risk of their lives. Whether from
the bofli'y ' strength I was gifted with or
from some idea that I was not given to
boasting , ! misjht really ptisaeaa the neces
sary amount of boldness , I do not know ,
but I was ( elected as one of the guards tea
a valuable cargo of this description , and ,
as if to show an impartiality between the
most silent and the most talkative of
their servants , the partner united with
me in this service the most blustering ,
boastful , good-hearted and loud-voiced
young gentleman I have over known.
You have most of yon hoard of the
famous electioneering orator , Tom Rud
dle , who stood at every vacancy for
county and borough , and passed his
whole life , between the elections , in can
vassing for himself and friends. Tom
Huddle was my fellow-clerk , and gen
erally the companion of my drives in
charge of treasure.
"What would you do , " I said to Tom ,
"in case wo were attacked ? "
"Tell ye what , " said Tom , with whom
that was a favorite way of beginning
almost cvory sentence "tell ye whatl
I'll shoot 'cm through the hoadl"
"Then you expect there will be more
than one ? "
"I should think so , " said Tom. "If
there would be only one , I'd jump out of
the gig and give him a precious licking
Tell yo what , 'twould be a proper punish
ment for his Impertinence.
"And if a balf-dozan should try It ? "
"Shoot 'em all 1" Never was there
such a determined custodian as the gal
lant Tom Ruddle.
One cold December evening wo were
suddenly sent elf In charge of throe bags
of coin to bo delivered into customers'
hands within ten or twelve miles of the
town. The clear , frosty sky was exhll-
orating , onr courage was excited by the
speed of our motion , the dignity of our
responsible ofh'co and a pair of horse
pistols which lay across the apron. "Tell
yo what , " said Tom , taking np one of
the pistols and ( as I afterward found )
ftill-cacking it , " 1 should rather like to
meet a few robbers. I should servo
them as 1 did those throe disbanded
soldiers " "How was that ? " "Ohl it
as well , " said Tom , pretending to grow
very serious , "to eay nothing about these
unfortunate accidents. Blood is a frlfiht-
fnl thing on the conscience , and a bullet
through a fallow is a dfstgrceablo sight ;
but tell yo whatl I'd do It again
Follows who risk their lives must take
their chance , my boy. "
And here Tom put the other pistol on
full ccck and looked audaciously on
both sidoa of the road , as If daring the
lurking murderers to come forth nnd re
ceive the reward of their crimes. As to
the story of the soldiers and the fearful
Insinuations of a bloody deed executed on
one or all , it was a prodigious rhodomon-
tado for Tom was such a tender-hearted
Individual that if ho had shot a kitten it
would have made him unhappy for a
week. But , to hear him talk , yon would
have taken him for a civic Richard the
Third one who had "neither pity , love
nor fear. "
His whiskers were also very ferooloui
and suggestive of battle , murder and
ruin. So he went on playing with } his
pistol , and giving himself out for an un <
pitying executioner of vengeance on the
guilty , until wo reached the small town
where one of onr customers resided , and
It wan neoeejary for one of as to carry nc
of the bags to its destination. Tom nn <
dortooktbo task.
As the village at which the remaining
parcels were to be delivered was only a
mile further on he determined to waU
acrojs the fields and join me after he had
executed Ills commission. Ho looked
ctrefally at the piiming of hia pistol ,
stuck it ostentatiously Into the outside
pookot of his greatcoat , and , with stately
atep , marched off with the heavy money
bag in his Iiand. I put the whip to the
horse and trotted merrily forward , think
ing nothing whatever of robbery or dan
ger. Oar fin.it customer resided at the
outskirts of the village a farmer tvlio re
quired a considerable amount of gold. I
pullei np at the narrow dark entrance
of the lane that led to the house , and , as
my absence couldn't be for moro than a
few minutes , I left th-JRJjand proceeded
up the Une with my gerlden treasure. I
delivered it Into the hands of 1U owner ,
'a , manfully resisting all his hospitable
Invitations , I took my learo and walked
rapidly toward the gig.
As I drew near I porco'.vcd in the
ilcar star-light a man mov.ntcd on the
top and groping under the seat. I ran
orward , and the nun , alarmed at my reproach
preach , rapidly ra'sed ' himself from his
stooping position , n.nd , presenting n
postol , fired it so close to my eyes that
the flash blinded mo for a moment ; the
action was so sudden and my surprlso so
great , that for a short time , too , I was
bewildered , and scarcely know whether I
was alive or doad. The old horse never
started at tfco report , and I rested my
hand on tbo rim of the wheel , while I
endeavored to gather my scattered
thoughts. The first thing 1 ascertained
vas that the man had disappeared. I
then hurriedly examined under the seat ,
and , to my Intense relief , perceived the
remaining money-bag still in its place.
There was a slit in it , however , near
the tcp , as if made by n knife , the robber
probc'bly resolving merely to potsoss
himself of the coin without the danger
ous accompaniment of tbo leathern sack ,
by which ho might have boon traced.
"Toll yo what , " s ld a voice cloco bo-
sl o mo , as I concluded my scrutiny , "I
don't like practical jokes like that firing
cff pistols to frighten folks. You'll alarm
the whole village. "
"Tom , " I said , "now's the time to
time to show your oonrago. A man has
robbed the gig or tried to da it and
has fired at mo within a yard of my
face. "
Tom grow perceptibly pale at this in
formation. "Was thcro only one ? Then
the accomplices are near. What's to be
done ? Shall ire reuse Farmer Makhu
and get his men to help ? "
"Not fr the world , " I said ; "I would
rather face a dozen shots than have my
carelessness known at the bank. It
would ruin mo for life. Lot us count
the money In this bag , quickly deliver It
if it bo correct , and then follow the rob
ber's course. " It was only a hundred-
guinea bag , that one , but the counting
was nervous work. Wo found three
guineas wanting. Wo were luckily
able to supply thorn from our
own pockets , having just received our
quarter's salaries , and I left Tom there ,
delivered the bag to its destination very
near at hand , without a word of the rob
bery , and wont back to him. "Now ,
which way did ho go ? " said Tom , resum
ing a little of his former air , clutching
hia pistol , like the chief of a chorus of
banditti In a molodrima. I told him I
had boon so confused that I had not ob
served which way ho had rotroatod.
Tom was an old hand at poaching
though ho was a clergyman's son , and
oucht to have sot a better example.
"I have hoard a bare stir at a hundred
yards , ' he said , and laid his car cloco to
the frosty ground.
"If he's within a quarter of a mile I
shall hoar him move. " 1 alto lay down
on the ground. Wo heard nothing but
onr breathing and the breathing of the
horso. "Hush , " said Tom at last. "Ho
hai come out of his hiding. I hoar a
man's stop far away to the left ; bring
your pistol and let us follow. "

In Ills Mountain Hut ,
A dispatch from Vogansvlllo , Pa. Bats :
On the brow of the Osrornarvon hills
lives nn old man named Joseph Shirk.
lie owns n small tract of woodland and
some cleared land , which ho has occupied
forotcra quarter of a century. Ills
dwelling la a modest one-story frame , and
the pajser by , unacquainted with the man
within , would imagine him to bo a sim
ple mountaineer or small farmer. But
Shirk it something more , On a number
of rude shelves in the lower room of his
houto ho has arranged a largo number _ of
mathematical Instruments , all of which
ho made himself after hia agricultural toil
was over for the day. A small stream
running down from the rnountail sldo
turns a wheel which furnishes him with
power to tnrn a rndo lathe of hia own
construction. The room is a regular inn-
chine shop , in which the old man turns
out various Instruments solely for his
amusement. Ilia hat production ia a
civil engineer's transit. 11 o ia an export
In making astronomical observations , lie
lias telescopes , quadrants , globes , chains
and other articles , all of which ho han
made himself in hia machine , shop. Around
him the region is very wild nnd rough , i
yet old man Shirk lives alone with his
Instruments and passes his time merrily.
At ono tlmo ho was a smart young school
teacher , but circumstances changed the
course of his life and led him to n hermit's
existence on the bleak hllla of Caernar
von.
