“Westfall “
Smith folded the letter me-
chanically and thrust it into his
pocket. Carter Westfall was his
good friend, and the cashier had
tried, unofficially, to dissuade
Westfall from borrowing after
he had admitted that he was
going to use the money in an
attempt to buy up the control
of his own company’s stock.
Smith was thinking of the big
bank loss and the hop,-less ruin
of Carter Westfall when he tore
the second envelope across and
took out the inclosed slip of

from the president and it was
dated within the hour. Mr. Dun-
ham was back in Lawrenceville
earlier than expected, and the
note had been written at the
bank. It was a curt summons;
the cashier was wanted, at once.
At th, moment, Smith did not
connect the summons with the
Westfall cataclysm, or with any
other untoward thing. Mr. Wa-
trous Dunham had a habit of
dropping in and out unexpect-
edly. Also, he had the habit of
sending for his cashier or any
other member of the banking
force at whatever hour the notion
seized him. Smith went to the
telephone and called up the Rich-
lander house. The promptness
with which the multimillionaire’s
daughter came to the phone was
