any such danger - the forming OF ring ION
improper purposes. Bennett keeps up q
continual change among his men, but II
d more than suspected that . handsome
amount Of population Il accomplished.
The rule in the Herald regime Il not dis
missal 20 much a. translation from one
pot 10 another. The pay Is kept ct a. low
. rate a. possible, for Bennett, like his
father, IL mis-. Ardly with his workmen,
and no amount Of wealth can make him
liberal. As this establishment, which
does q business Of Q million and . half
year, d altogether in the hands Of hire
Iings, the only way to make men honest
l. 10 keep them 90 much in motion that
fraud Is rendered difficult.
Society and commerce work through
certain methods which gradually obtain
general acceptance. The same law ap-
plies 10 the operation Of crime. The Her
aid ID the acknowledged medium Of swim
dleIs, and al other members Of the army
Of frauds who usethe personal" q means
Of communication. The columns Of this
paper indeed give many hints Of the
depth Of the mysterious iniquity Of the
metropolis. Only those who are fully in
itiatsd can understand the the nature Of
some Of these notices whose full meaning
must b terrible 10 the persons addressed.
Who would think, for instance, that the
following paragraph was . demand for
blackmail or hush money:
20. LII want 10 borrow $4,000 to
$4,000. You promised to find Q lender.
Address I. II. D., Herald Office"
Il need hardly be suggested that no
man who expects 10 borrow 10000 adj
dresses an anonymous person. BORROW"
under such circumstances has q meaning
Of Ii own. Matchmaking b Q practice
regularly carried on, and respectable
victims arc continually caught. One man,
who d now dead, but Whowas at one time
the Chamberlain" or treasurer Of the
city, paid go, 900 in the way Of loans"
% those who had got him in their clutch
=. Another case. A merchant Of wealth
end reputation was bled BY such loans un-
u he was ruined in purse and character.
A noted clergyman, who occupied q
OscrstaEyShip in one Of the boards Of the
church, was q few years ago blackmailed
% severely that, alter paying out all the
money he could save from his salary, he
vas exposed and degraded from Office. Al
similar attempt was made on another
clergyman. who escaped the snare and
TsialiAted BY punishing the offenders.
The AT Of blaekmailing b studied very
closely and great success Il reached. At
one time . very beautiful woman attend
Cd church for several successive months,
taking . seat directly next to that Of .
noted capitalist, but the scheme failed.
Men of wealth are watched in . system
etc manner. Bank cashiers and others |
Who earn large sums are Swallowed for
The pnIpcse Of learning their habits, and |
U the latter iesd into any dissolute paths
they are easily drawn into trap, and are
placed under . levy which never stops
while life lasts. Several men have gone
% Europe and made . long tour In order
70 escape these halpies, but on their 70
turn the horror has generally been re-
nswed. The number Of victims now
subject 70 this outrageous system would |
surprise the public could ID be known, and |
SIN more suEpriring would Be the position |
occupied By some Of them.

great variety Of suggestions. Sentences
which only suggest mystery TO others have
deep and intense meaning 10 the parties
interested. Here Il an instance Of more
than usual character:
