in the offices Of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad Company. How these two demon

shown by summary Of an article published In the Ar

article says:
"There are extraordinary circumstances which cause
thinking inquire into their causes ana enects.

This is thwarted by his receiving reports through agents
or meeting his spies personally away
