Talbot, his employer, told Miriam as much, showing his daughter the good round sum which his new clerk had handed him that evening for a real estate deal he had made in Talbot's absence. It was after banking hours and Talbot slept with the money under his pillow. The next morning he went off in a tearing hurry and forgot the roll of bills. A transaction calling for ready cash, which came up the first thing at the office, reminded Talbot of the money. He sent Taylor with a note to Miriam, directing her where to find the sum and to deliver it to the clerk. He surmised that she would not object to making the young fellow's acquaintance. But the girl was out, and Taylor knowing his employer's need of the money, persuaded the maid to let him in and allow him to search for it. He was going quickly through Talbot's desk, when two desperate looking fellows, who evidently had overheard his conversation with the servant, made their entrance by a rear window. Taylor had the presence of mind not to try to get to the telephone. It was merely a question of which of them should find the money first. His movements became cooler, more rapid. But one of the crooks suddenly discovered the cash. Taylor rushed at him, and all three scuffled and struggled together. A moment later, a frightened-faced girl flashed into the room. She ran out again, and had managed to get Talbot's office on the phone before the men realized what she was about. One of the ruffians seized her, and Taylor, wresting the money from his other adversary, sprang to the girl's assistance. She darted from him, into the next room. He followed, securing the door against the thieves. Miriam snatched a revolver from a drawer and covered her father's clerk with the gun. Taylor found himself powerless against the crooks who were breaking down the door. Desperate as his situation was the young man laughed aloud. And then they heard Talbot's voice. Miriam burst the door open. Two stout policemen were collaring the thieves. Talbot exclaimed, "Taylor, praises be." The revolver slipped from her fingers. The next moment her hand lay in that of her victim. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
