BOB YOUNGER’S FATE. CHAPTER I. A WOMAN’S SUSPICIONS. ““The bank has been robbed, sir!”’ This was the alarming intelligence which came to the ears of Henry Ferry, President of the Fidelity Bank, Minneapolis, as he set foot on his own ‘Stoop after a six months’ sojourn abroad. His wife and daughter, who had been with him in Kurope, also heard the startling intelligence, and Myra, the daughter, reeled against the railing, for the words had a peculiar significance to her. The cashier of the bank, as she well knew, was Theo Howard, a young man of twenty-three, in whom she felt an ardent interest. In fact, he was her accepted lover. “The bank robbed !’’ exclaimed Mr. Ferry; ‘‘when —how??’’ ‘‘Last week,”’ answered John, the footman. ‘But the worst is yet to be told.”’ “Great Heaven! what do you mean?”’ ‘Murder has been committed. Theo Howard was murdered on the night of the robbery.”’ Eomicbooks.com
