SINVElsrvi IYYyy0y1yyyyyy101PC-opyright 1909 by American Press Asso ¬

ciationRaymond Nolan was eighteen when

he entered the service of asmall bankHe was a bright fellow not onlyready to do his own work but thatof any one else He had been taughtthe value of money and that the surestway to start a fortune was by savingConsequently each week when hedrew his salary he put aside a certainamount for this purpose

Raymond was a great favorite withMr Porter owner of the bank Seeingthat the youngster was in every wayfitted for promotion he promoted himas rapidly as vacancies occurred Ateach raise of salary Raymond increas ¬

ed the proportionate amount that heput aside for his nest egg Whenthat nest egg reached 500 he lookedabout for some method of investmentHe bought a bond paying 4 per centinterest From this time his capitalincreased a little more rapidly Hisattention being called to certain sharesthat were paying double the interesthe received on his bond he changedhis investment The shares not onlypaid him the interest but rose invalue He sold them and had 1000 ofhis own

As year after year passed Nolanfound himself nearer to the amount hehad fixed upon for legitimate invest¬

ment Sometimes he would sink awayfrom it under a degression of securi ¬

ties but usually upon a reaction hewould find himself further ahead thanbefore At one of these depressions heconcluded to increase his investmentaccepting a loan from his broker forthe purposein other words buy on amargin Stocks were considered verycheap and bound to have a good riseAs Nolan had his affairs arranged arise of five points would give him his

10000But contrary to expectations stockscontinued to depreciate sinking in ¬

stead of rising five points Then theyrested awhile and another period ofliquidation carried them down tenpoints further On down they went tillNolan found that he had lost his capi ¬

tal His brokers called on him formargin and told him that if he did

not hand it in at once they would sellhim out Stocks were very low andwhen the market turned they wouldlikely boom

This was a turning point in Nolanscareer He borrowed 1000 from thebank without reporting the loanStocks went down and he borrowedmore money

One morning ten years after Nolanhad entered Mr Porters service hewent into that gentlemans private of¬

fice and said to himMr Porter some time ago at a sud ¬

den collapse of the stock market I lostmy savings of years I believed thatthere would soon be a rise that wouldrestore all I had lost and give memuch more I borrowed money fromthe bank to use for margin stockshave been still going down and I havelost 25000 of your money

The president told him that theshortage had been discovered that thebank had made other losses whichthey might have weathered withoutthis one As it was a failure was un¬

avoidableMr Porter said the young man

call a policeman and turn me in forconviction There will be no trial Ishall plead guilty

No replied the president I shallnot prosecute you

Then I will surrender myselfThe president endeavored to per ¬

suade the young man to go out intothe world unsmirched and begin againBut no He had sinned beyond hisown forgiveness and his life had lostits charm Thereafter he would liveunder the blight in any form fate as ¬

signed him He left the presidentgave himself up to the police underhis own confession and within a weekwas in state prison beginning a termof ten years

Nolan receiving the shortened timefor good behavior was discharged inabout seven years The banker hadfailed and had died leaving a child aboy without mother or support of anykind As soon as the prisoner regainedhis liberty he sought out this childwhom he found selling papers Nolanwent to a merchant whom he hadknown before his embezzlement andasked for a position The only job themerchant would give him was that ofporter He accepted it took the boy tolive with him sent him to school andotherwise provided for his maint ¬

nanceOne habit acquired by Nolan has re ¬

mained a fixture He saves moneysaves it not for himself for he is liv-

ing¬

a life without either a present or afuture He is saving it for the boywhose father he wronged He hasgiven that boy a childs savings bankand the boy too is saving And thereis a lesson in finance the young capi ¬

talist receives at Intervals impressive ¬

ly Is it not to speculate No It isthe one great lesson that every boyshould learnnever use a cent of atrust fund

Nolan is no longer a porter He is ina business of his own He manages ithimself but through others He takesthe risks usual to any man who han ¬

dIes money but lie pays cash and willnot permit other peoples money to re¬

main in his possession overnightnotthat he fears temptation but the sen¬

sation would be disagreeable to himHe is ready to turn over to his selfimposed ward all he took from thatwards father as soon as the boy isequipped to receive it

In one respect he has not beenboyytc
