We want no one to regard the filing Of bond

The proposition We make to oil agents is the
same, hence do not ask for any more liberal or
arrangement
AS the manager Of O branch office
would make collections it would be
necessary to furnish u bond with some
frst-class surety company. Personal
bonds would not be accepted. To this
end they had arranged for special terms
with the Anglo-American Surety Co.,
Of Windsor, Canada, which, tho apph-
cation stated, had cash capital OF
500, 200. These rates were six dollars
rs first payment for 1000 bond. the
amount required. AS in tho first
scheme the entire aim was to get the
price for the bond. After that no word
would be had from either concern. IL.
A. Hanson was tho secretary Of this
latter surety company. Many letters
were received OF Windsor addressed to
Hanson, also to the company. These
were permitted to accumulate for q
few weeks, when Herdman would call
at Windsor for tho mail or order it for
warded to some address in the states.
Throughout Canada he was known un-
der the name Of John Wood and W. C.
Milton.
Several weeks after Herdmans
scheme had been set in motion COM
plant reached Capt. James E. Stuart,
inspector in charge at Chicago, Of his
crooked dealings through the mails. 1t
developed that the Western Furniture
company had rented post Office box at
Englewood, Ill There was no such
furniture company at this place, conse-
quently their advertising was fraudu-
lent. They remained there but short
time and when they left requested all
mail be forwarded to Toledo, O. This
matter was then referred to EChiet
Bearss, Of the Cincinnati division, who
detailed Inspector Lawrence Lether-
man on tho case.
By chance Post Office Inspector
Letherman learned that q person by
that name had been arrested at Indian
apolis, Ind, for cruelty beating his wife,
to whom he had been married but o

what he was saying.
So completely was he swept along by
the force of his own Imagination that
he quite forgot no was not the man
whom everyone In that large audience
firmly believed him to be; and instead
Of a comedy played of necessity for his
own convenience, the whole affair be-
came to him, for the time, an important
and dignifed reality. He grew earnestly
interested in his theme, and after
sketching with vivid oratory all the pos
sibilities that lay in the future, when
the commercial and manufacturing in
terests. now in their infancy, the edu-
cRtional facilities, the natural advan-
tages of x were fully developed, he
closed with a strong and eloquent plea
for justice, liberty and morality, with
out which no enduring prosperity could
be attained.
The assembly were held in a state Of
almost breathless attention from the
beginning to the close of the address,;
and when finally with a brilliant pero-
ration that led by rapid degrees to an
eloquent climax, the speaker bowed his
farewell to the audience, they broke
forth into a storm of applause that
rained down from the galleries and
swept In tempestuous waves over the
house.
1t was unquestionably the most as
founding success that Allan North had
ever achieved; and when 1t was all over
his astonishment fairly balanced his re-
lief
AS soon as he could escape from the
admiring populace, who showered COM
pliments and congratulations upon him
and insisted on shaking hands with him,
after the impulsive custom of the aver
age American, he was carried off to his
hotel by his two right-hand men, Clip
per and Warner, who seemed to feel as
much pride in his manner of acquitting
himself as if they had shared the
achievement
"Best thing you ever did, North, -
was Clippers verdict, as he parted from
North at the hotel. "GetS away with
even that speech in court that made you
SO famous last winter. Don't you think
so, Warner?''
Decidedly" was Warmers brief and
emphatic assent
And only one man in x knew to
what diligent effort and calm daring
that brilliant success was due.

confidence either in his own strength
aud ability or in their appreciation and
support.
Waiting only until the enthusiasm
had subsidized sufficiently for him to
make his voice heard, North began
with graceful acknowledgement
of the reception that had been accorded
him; weaving into his remarks with
consummatc tact the most delicate fat
terry of the audience, which was in
gcnuously Endorsed by hearty cheering.
Then he mentioned Col Clippers name,
and, amid the applause that this refer
ence elected. he proceeded briefly to
eulogize that gcntleman's devoted pub
lie services, giving due credit to Warner
and others who, as faithful coadjutors,
had stood shoulder to shoulder with
the valiant colonel in many II hard won
fight.
Finally, having struck fire from the
audience by these sllillful and well-di-
rected blows until the glow could be
seen and felt in all parts of the house,
North glided neatly and effectively in.
to the elaborate theme that had been
announced for him
1t has been sometimes advanced as
an axiom in oratory, founded on the ex.
pcricnce of many famous public speak
ers, that there can be no signal success
promised to any orator who docs not
approach his audience with a feeling OF
diffldcnco amounting even to stage
fright. Granting this to be correct,
there was q brilliant promise of success
In the franc of mind with which Allan
North entered upon his address. Dur
ing all the time he was speaking with
such ease and huency he was watching
the audience with a keenness that
would have detected the slightest evil
dcncc of an unfavorable impression
and 1t was no doubt due in part to this
intense interest and concentration of his
own thought upon the audience that he
held them in such close sympathy and
attention. The very novelty of his sit
untion, instead of embarrassing him
seemed to afford him n peculiar inspira
ton, and as by degrees he gained con
fidcnce from tho hearty applause thai
he received he gave himself up to the
| influences and illusions of the moment
pud threw himself heart and sorl. Into
