CHAPTER VI


When the train In which DR..
John was returning to Denver sudden
ly stopped at place where there was
only the small brown house OF q
switchman, the doctor looked out of
the window with relief. He thought
it very hard that on his first trip
across the plains in 80 many years
there should be only stupid people in
the car, not n congenial soul TO talk
with and to compare the present times
with the old. DIR. John had crossed
tho plains In an OK wagon, and he
would 80 have liked TO discuss that
voyage with some pioneer or newcomer
eager TO hear about 1t. He supposed
there was an accident: there had been
two stops already about that hot box
A little crowd passed the window
carrying something-hc could not sec
what, for those standing around. He
craned his neck, his professional in
stincts aroused.
worried-loolSing woman in tho
door Of the brown house seemed to be
denying the sufferer entrance with
animated gestures and angry shakes
of her frowzy head Three white
haired little children hung TO her
skirts, and she pointed to them In
proof of her assertions. DIR. John half
rose as the conductor came In the car.
"Is there doctor hcrc?" the man
said, eagerly. There's woman very
sick; just taken from the day coach.
That hnP out there wouldn't hardly
give her shelter"
"What seems TO be the mattcr?"
asked DR.. John, brisltly.
The conductor hcsitatcd. well, sir,
she's young woman, but think she's
married"
The ladies In the car took up their
books In disgust An elderly, portly
man In front OF DIR. John buried him
self behind his newspaper. DR.. John
isnew him 10 be physician.
I'm n doctor" said DIR. John, gath
ering up his belongings. 81 shall be
glad 10 see what can do"

IDENTIFY poor-hasn't any baggage"
81 am, fortunately, able 10 attend TO
the suffering without having my pay
danRlcd before my eyes TO spur me
on" growled DIR. John, passing tho
lady readers with looks Of disgust.
mot ono OF 'em offered even shawl,
and the sick creature I suppose is
destitute"
He pushed through the crowd gath
cred about the house and dispersed
them with very vigorous English. A
pleasant faced young man handed him
"A roll OF bills.
81 collected that In our Pullman.
We're not all so heartlcss as you say"
$50 that's you, Jimmy Watson"
smiled the doctor. 81 ask your pardon;
before this thought you were just n
dude. ! shall tell your mother there
Is hope for you"
"Thanles," laughed the younger man.
There's twenty-five dollars sup
pose, though, your fees win Robblc IL
all up"
"To the last cent Jimmy; that's why
| got Off the car" He shut the door
smartly In the face Of the crowd, and,
finding the switchmans wife In tho
small hall, said, severely: 81 suppose
you call yourself Christian woman,
ma'am."
There hain't no meeting house in
this forsakcn country not for forty
miles, jest plains" she said, sourly.

Longs for r. Reccivre.

st. Joseph, Mo-, May 2S.-A great SEN
s9tion in business circles was created
here by the filing Of petition in the
United States court by David L. New
berg of New York, asking that q re-
ceiver be appointed for the Schlster Ma
tional bank, alleging fraud Oh the part
of the cashier, S.. A. Walker. The trou-
BILE arose from the failure of A. N. Schu-
ster & Co. month ago. The petition
states that Newberg is stakeholder in
the bank, and is also a creditor of
Schuster to large amount. Newberg
asserts that prior to the consolidation of
the Schuster National bank with the Sax
ton National bank the bank had loaned
Schuster & Co., whom they knew to be
in failing condition, over 100000, and
that he believes the bank loaned him that
amount when their agreement with the
stockholders forbade it. Schuster was
one of the bank officials. Newberg says
that Walker deceived him, and he makes
other charges.

4 SWINDLE STOPPED,
AN IMPORTANT ARREST MADE ny
CHICAGO POLICE.
The Secretary and Treasurer OF the
COInmercil Information Company
Is Placed Under Arrest on thu
Charge of Forgery.

Chicago, May 2S.-Hugh Rodgers, who
is said to be at the head of a gang of
advertising swindlers, was arrested yes
terday on a charge of forgery The
Onion Horseshoe Nail company is COM
plainant in the case. The gang has op-
Grated in every large city from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast in the last
i've ears, and the amount it has fraudu-
lently obtained is said to exceed $780,
600. - .,55 . - -" I@-.@'
About twenty persons have been en-
gagged in the work. Their scheme was
to solicit advertising for a business d.
rectory, of which more than 100 copies
were never published, and after getting
contracts for space from business men
the agents Of the company would col
lect money on these contracts three or
four times. The company has had
several titles, among them being the
Register Publishing company, the Inter-
national Publishing company, the Bust
ness Register, the Commercial Register,
the Commercial Publishing company, and
the Commercial Guide.
Rodgers, who is believed to be one of
the leaders of the concern, is the son of
reputable San Francisco publisher
While in the employ Of his father he
gained thorough knowledge of the ad-
vertising business, and being of good adj
dress and suave manners, he had no
difficulty in getting the confidence of
business men.
About three years ago the gang began
operations in this city, and represented
that the headquarters of the company"
were in the Chronicle building, San Fran
cisco. At that time one Stanley Francis
styled himself the president of the "com-
pany." r. II. Donelly, publisher of the
Lakeside Directory, got after Francis and
made it so unpleasant for him that he
had to leave Chicago. It is said that
Francis is now in New York, where he
is engaged in the same business.
Rodgers is a protege of Francis, and
so proficient has he become in the bust
ness that he is now the Western man
ager of the concern. He is about thirty
five years old, and has wife and family
Oh the North side. When arrested he
feigned surprise, and said he would
bring suit against the officers for false
imprisonment. Papers showing that he
Guide-the latest name by which the con-
Germ is known-were found in his pock-
cts.
Mr.. Donelly, publisher of the Lakeside
Directory, is probably responsible for his
arrest In canvassing the city for this
years directory Mr.. Donelly's agents
have found evidences of Rodgers work.
The gang is said to have operated in
ST. Paul, Minneapolis and other Western
cities.

enc Next Meeting of the b. z. T.. Will
lie Held i'll Ontario.
st. Paul, May 26.-Ottawa, Ont, was
chosen this morning as the place for hold
ing the next convention of the B. L. e.
Last night there were three cities in the
race-Salt Lake City, Columbus and Of
taw;l. On the last ballot yesterday the
after place had fewer votes in it's favor
than either Of the other cities. There
was some irregularity about the ballot,
however, and Albert Hudson, leader of
the Canadian delegation, succeeded in
having the ballot set aside. This morn
ing Ottawa showed up in the lead on the
first ballot and Salt Lake City, which led
yesterday, being the lowest, was dropped
out, leaving Columbus and Ottawa the
only competitors, and the latter won.
The selection of Ottawa was mainly due
to the generalship of Albert Hudson,
who is chairman of the dominion legis-
lative committee, and his efforts were
further rewarded by the convention which
elected him third grand assistant engi
neer.
