A HAW, gray flay, wltb a driving ilr.zzle from seaward and l leaden ruck of clouds drifting ' low, matched the sullen, fitful mood of iileiilster. During the last month he hndvbafed and fretted like au niilmnl In leash for word of Wheaton. This uncertainty, this Impotent waiting wltb folded bauds, was maddening' to one of bis spirit. He could apply himself to no fixed duty, for the sense of his wrong preyed on blm tiercel)', and he foi'nd himself hiiuutlug the vlclulty of the Midas, gazing at It from afar, grasp ing hungrily for such scraps of news as chanced to reach blm. Mc.Natnnra allowed access to none but bis min ions, so the partners knew but vague ly of what bnpiiied on their prop erty, cveu though, under fiction of the law. It was being worked for their protection. No step regarding a speedy hearing of the ease were allowed, and the col lusion betweea Judge Stillman and the receiver had beconwi so generally rec ognized that there were uneasy uiut terlngs and threats In many quarters. Yet, although the politician bad by now virtually absorlied all the richest pmportlcs In the district and worked them through bis hirelings, the people of Nome, as a w hole, did uot grasp the full turpitude of the scheme nor the system's perfect working. fttrange to say, Dextry, the fire eater, bad assumed an oriental patience quite foreign to his peppery dlxsltloii aud pent much of bis time In the hills prospecting. On this day, as (be cloud broke taut noon, close down on the angry horizon a drift of smoke appeared, shortly resolving Itself Into a steamer, She lay to In the offing, and through his glnsse nieulMcr nw that It was the lloanoke. A the hour passed and no boat put off, he tried to hire a crew, but the lonrsboremeo spat wisely aud shonk their beuSs as they watched the enrf. "There's the devil of an undertow ettln' along this benctC they told him, "and the water' too cold to drownd In comfortable." Ho he laid firm band upon hi lninatleK. Every dy meant many dollar to the watcier, and yet It seemed that nature iss resolute In thwarting blm, for UuU night the U4 fresJuDeA ajl .' daylight aaw the ship hugging the Ire , of Pledge bland, mllea to the west ward, while the surf, white a bulling milk, boomed and thundered against the shore. Word had (one through the street that Rill Wbeatua was aboard with a writ or a subpoena or an alil.l or what ever was becvasary to put the "kUuo" oa McNamara, so publk- rulletucut grew. McVamara boanlcl hi g 4d In the A 'ak a l-ank, awl It was taken for granted that there woukl lie 1'ie mvue of the straggle. No one iiptav-d for an Instant that the uuit would part with (lie treasure peaceably. Ou the third luomlug the ship lay abreast of the town ainiln, and a life boat was seen to make off from her, whereupon the Idle iiulalkn stream ed toward the beach. She'll make It to Hie surf all right, but then watch out." We'd la-tier make ready to haul Vro out," said another. "It's mighty dan gerous." And, sure enough, as the skill came rushing lu through the breakers she was eaiieht She had made It past the first Hue, roaring over the lr on a r winy roller crest like a storm driven gull wlmrltig la toward the laud. The wiry figure of Ttlll Wheaton crouched In the stern, while two sailors fought wltb Ibelr oars. As they gathered for their rush through the last tone of froth a great comber roae out of the sea behind them, rearing high alsive their heads. The crowd on the aurfs edge shouted. The Wait wavered, sucked hack Into the ocean's angry maw. and with a crash the deluue engulfed them. There remained nothing but a swirling flood through which the llfctioat emerged bottom up, amid a taugle of oars, grat ings aud gear. Men rushed Into the water, and the next roller pounded them back ukiu the marble bard sand. There came the sound of splitting wood, and then a group swarmed lu waist deep and Imre out a dripping figure. It was a hemp en headed seaman, who shook the wa ter from bis inane aud grluued when his breath had couie. A step further down the beach the bystanders seized a limp form which the tide rolled to them. It was the second sailor, his scalp split from a blow of tho gutiwale. Nowhere was Wheaton. Glenister bad plunged to the rescue first, a heaving jlue about his middle, aud. although buffeted alaiut, he had reached the wreck, only to miss sight of the lawyer utterly. He bud time for but a glance when he was drawn outward by the uudcrtuw till the line at bis wulst grew taut, then the water surged over him aud be was hurled high up on the beach again. He stag gered dizzily Iwck to the struggle, when suddenly a wave lifted the cap sized cutter und righted It, and out from beneath shot the form of Whea ton, grimly clutching the life ropes. They brought him In choking and breathless. "I got It," he said, slapping his streaming breast. "It's all rU'ht. Glen ister. I kuew what delay meant, so I took a long chance with the surf." The terrific ordeal he hud undergone had blanched blm to the lips, hi legs wab bled uncertainly, and he would have fallen but for the young man, who thrust on arm atmut his wulst and led hlin up Into the town. "I went before the circuit court of appeals in 'Frisco," he explained later, "and they batted orders allowing an appeal from this court unci gave me a writ of Kiipersedea directed, against old Judge Ktlllman. That take the litigation out of his hands altogether and directs McNamara to turu over the Mlilns and all the gold he's got. What do you think of that? I did bet ter than I expected." Glenister wrung his hand silently, while a great satisfaction came tisiu hint. At last this waiting wa over and his peaceful yielding to Injustice had borne fruit- had proved tho better course after all, as the girl had prophe sied, lie could go to her now with clean bands. The mine was his again. He would lay It nt her feet, telling her once more of his love and the change It was working In blm. He would make her see it make her see that tw nenth the harshness his years In the wild had given hlin bis love for her was gentle and true and all absorbing. Me would bid hor be patient till she saw he bad mastered himself, till he could come with his soul In harness. "I am glad I didn't fight wbeu they Jumped us," he ssld. "Now we'll get our pnH-iiy bark aud all the money they tisik out-that Is, If McNamara Uasn t suited It." "Te; nil that's necessary Is to file the documeuts, then serve the Judge and McNamara.

"We'll see whether you'll otiey or But," said Wheaton. aud when be and UWulster wet outside he continued: "I-et's get to the Judge quick." As tbey neared the Golden Gate ho tel they aided McNamara uterlng. It was evldeut that he had sllp)ied from the rear door of his oltle aud beaten them to the Judicial ear. "I don't like that," aald Glenister. "lie's up to something" So It apeared, for they were fifteen minutes lu gaining access to the mag istrate and then found McNamara with him. Both men were astounded at the change In Stillmau's apsrauce. During the last month bi weuk face bad shrunk and altered until vacilla tion was betrayed lu every Hue, uud be hsd acquired the habit of furtively watching McNamara' slightest move ment It seemed that the part be play ed sat heavily uKn blm. The Judge examined the paH'rs per functorily, and, although hi uir was dellWnite, his finger made clumsy work of It. At lust he said: "I regret that I am forced to doubt the authenticity of these documents." "My heavens, man!" Wheaton cried. "They're certified copies of orders from your susrlor court. They grant the appeal that you bare denied us and take the case out of your hiinds. altogether. Yes, and tbey order this man to surreuder the mine aud every, thing counected with It. Now, sir. we want you to enforce these orders." Stillman glanced at the silent man In the window aud replied: "You will, of course, proceed reg ularly and make application In court In the proiier way, but I tell you uow that I won't do anything lu the matter." Wheaton stared at hltu fixedly until the old mau mapped out: "You say they are certified copies, now do I know they are? The signa tures may all be false. Maylie you signed theru yourself." The lawyer grew very white at this and stammered until Glenister drew blm out of the room. "Come, come," be said; "we'll carry this thing through In open court. May be his nerve will go back on hlin then. McNamara has hlin hypnotised, but he won't dare refuse to olwy the orders of the circuit court of aiqieals." "He won't, eh? Well, what do you think he' doing right now?" suld Wheaton. "I must think. This Is the boldest game I ever played In. They told me things while I was In 'Frisco which I couldn't believe, but I guess they're true. Judges don't dlsolwy the order of their court of apal unless there la power liack of them." Tbey proceeded to the attorney's of flee, but bad not been there long be for Slapjack 81mm burst lu uism them. "Hell to pnyr h punted. ".McNa mara' taking your dust out of the bank." "What' tht?" they cried. "I goo Into the bank Just now for an assay on some quarts samples. The assayer I busy, and I walk back luto bla room, and while I'm there lu trots McNamara la a hurry. lie dou't see rue, as I'm Inside the private office, and I overhear blm tell them to get hi dust out of the vault quick." "We've got to stop that," ssld Glen ister. "If he takes ours, be ll take the Swedes', too. Btuitus, you run np to the Pioneer company and tell them alwut IL If he get that gold out of there, nobody kuow wtiatil become of It Come on, BUI." He matched hi bat and ran out of the room, followed by the others. That the loose Jointed Slupjaek did hi work with expedition wa evidenced by the fact that the Swede were close upon their heal as the two entered the bank. Other bad followed, sensing some thing unusual, and the space wlthlu tb door filled rapidly. At the dis turbance the clerk luspended their work, the barred doors of the snfe de posit vault clanged to, aud the cashier laid baud upon the navy Colt' nt hi elbow. "What the matter?" ho cried. "W want Alec McNamara," suit) Glenister. The nunsgor of the bank apiicnred, nd Glenister Hk to him through the heavy wire netting. "I McNamara In there?" Nq one had ever known Morehouse to He. "Yes, sir." He spoke hesitat ingly, In a voice full of the alow music Of Virginia. "II I In here. What of itr "V hear he' trying to move that dust of ours, and wa wou't stand for It Tell blm to coma out and not bide In there Ilk a dog." At these words the politician appear ed beside the southerner, aud the two conversed softly sn luslsut, while the Impitleuca of the crowd grew to anger.

"Then he' taken It already." "No, be hasn't" The receiver' course had been quickly chosen at the Interruption. It wa not wis to auger these men too much.

"Were yuu afraid to com alone, or did you watt till yoa aaw ma with a lady?" At the same Instant he opeued a door behind hlin. revealing Ilek-a Chester. "You'd letter uot walk out with me, alls Chester. This man might well, ynn're safer here, you know. You'll pardon me for leaving you." He hoied be could Incite the yuun mau to some rash act or word In the preaeuc of the girl and counted on the conspicu ous heroism of bl own position, fac ing Um mob single banded, oue against fifty. "Tom out." aald his enemy hoarse ly, upon whom the Insult aud the sight of the girl In tb receiver's company had acted iwerfully. "Of course I'll come out. but 1 don't waut this young lady to suffer auy vio lence from your friends," said McNa mara. "I am not armed, but I have the right to leave here unmolested the right of an American citizen." With that he raised bis arms above hi hed. "Out of my wy!" be cried. Morehouse oiened the gate, and Mc Namara strode through the mob. It Is a peculiar thlug that, although under fury of passion, a man may tire even upon the Imck of a defenseless "Out of my Viiyl" he cried, foe, yet no one cau offer vkileuce to a man whose arm uru raised ou high and In whose glance 1 the level light of fearlessness. Moreover, It 1 safer to face a crowd thus thau a single ad versary. McNamara had aeen tbl psycholog leal trick tried before and uvw took ad eantugtt of It to w alk through the press slowly, eye to eye. II did It theatric ally, for the benefit of the girl, aud, as he foresaw, the men fell away before blm-all but Glenister, who blocked blm, gun In band. It was plain that the persecuted miner was beside him self wltb passion. McNaniura came within an arm' length before pausing. Then he toped, aud th two stared ninllgnautly at each otlier, while the girl behind the railing heard her beurt pounding In the stillness. Glenister raised his hnnd uncertainly, then let It full. Ho shook bl bead and stepiied aside, so that the otlier brushed past and nut Into the street. Wheaton addressed the banker: "Mr. Morehouse, we've got orders and writs of one kind or another from the circuit court of appeal at 'Frisco directing that till money Isi turned over to us." Ho shoved the papers to ward the other. "We're not lu a mood to trifle. That gold belongs to us, and we want It." Morehouse looked carefully at the paers. "I enn't help you," he said. "These documents are not directed to nie. They're, baucd to Mr. McNamara and Judge Ktilliuan. If therireuit court of app-sls commands n.e to tb-liter It to yoa I'll du It but otherwise I'll bare tit keep this dust here till it's drawn out by onler of the coort that gnve It t me. That's the wsy It w as put In here, aud that's the wsy It'll be taken out." "We want It now." "Well. I can't let my ymathie In fluence me." "Then we'll take It out anyway." crtrd Glenister.

"I don't aim to have any trouble with you-sll." continued the southerner, "bat that mouey stays here till It's draau out rh.-ht."

Tb men hesitated, then ml leoly obeyed, for resists nee to tb blu of Uncle Sam come only at the cost of much consideration.

At that time there was only one bank in Union county, with assets of about $200,000.00 or less, while now there are five banks in the county with assets aggregating about $1,000,000.00. What a wonderful change for so short a time! What is the reason? The principal cause lies in the enhanced values of farm products, but along with this there has been a great awakening in the way of doing business. People who were dead in financial matters have come to life, and they see the dawn of a better day. People are more thrifty than five years ago. They are more ambitious to succeed, and they do succeed. The banks have contributed no'little to this revolution in financial matters. The Bank of Union Has labored Steadily to Promote Prosperity in Union and Adjoining Counties, i It has spent much money to safeguard the interests of its custo mers. No bank could do more under the circumstances. Absolute safety and good service are guaranteed. The people should recog nize these facts and appreciate them. They could not do this in a more welcome way than by using this bank as a depository. A private room for the accommodation of customers has been provid ed. There they will find a desk, paper, etc., for their convenience. Welcome. The Keeley Do You Know What It Does?
