Every one Is discussing the Bryan in
cident OF yesterday when the presidential
candidate stopped speaking and declared
that he was prevented by the noiso made
by Yale men from proceeding. There IL
a general denial that he was stcppe<o
from speaking by Yale men, their claim
being that they cheered for Mckinley
and gold incessanty at the beginning OF
his speech. compelling Mr. Bryan to tako
his seat after he had risen TO speak, and
to wait five minutes TIL the cheering
stopped; but they state that when hs
once began. they did not prevent him
from continuing.
Much indignation is felt here at the
reference by Mr.. Bryan to Yale students
as young men who came TO college TO
spend "ill-gotten gains"
The Yale faculty assert that no official
notice will be taken OF the incident

BANKER BENSoN'S DOUBLE.

ever befell me in the course OF my
eventful and in some respects not un
brilliant career was my eXtraordl
nary resemblance in face and in fig
ure to Mr.. Benson, manager OF the
Tinford branch of the London ant
Tinford bank
Tinford, as everybody knows, il
one of the largest manufacturing
towns in the Midlands and the branch
of the London and Tinford bank il
that place is one of the largest
branch banks in the kingdom.
therefore went down to have a look
at it and see what could be done il
my way of business.
Travelling down in the MIDLAND
train looked about me at my fellow
passengers. All of them, except my
self, were reading, and so L had am
pie opportunity for the study OF hui
man physiognomy, a study in which
/ particularly delight Most of the
faces in that carriage were uninter
esting and commonplace, but there
was one which riveted my gaze anC
made me well-nigh leap from my seat
in amazement The face was the i'm
age of my own.
In this world we are told that each
man has somewhere else his double
Mine sat opposite to me now in the
Midland railway carriage. Taking q
paper from my pocket | at once be-
gan to read and shade my face from
my opposite neighbours view, for it is
rule in our profession to keep other
people from knowing that we happen
to know ourselves, and, though | did
not at that moment guess that the
resemblance of this man to myself
was going to turn out of tremendous
service to me, yet my habits of care
and prudence made me take the
course I have Indicate and protect
my visage from his gaze.
After some little time he made {
remark to the man seated beside
him. / then discovered that his voice
was also like mine, but this did not
surprise me much, for persons with
similar cOuntenances in nine cases
out of ten have similar voices.
The man to whom he spoke ap
peared to be in his confidence, fol
they talked in low, anxious tones to
gether. Presently | heard the wort
''bank' mentioned, and | pricked my
ears. They were talking about thu
very bank to which l myself wa
bound--the branch of the London anC
Tinford at Tinford. Strange coinci
dence, [ thought.
At length the train drew up at GU
destination and the two passenger
in whom | was interested alighted
L did the same. Calling a porter,
asked him if he knew who my "dou
BILE" was

but slipping sixpence into the man

pal" And then I told him as briefly
as possible of my meeting in the train
of the manager of the bank, who was
as like me as one penny to another.
For a moment he seemed aston
ished and then said slowly: ''Well
supposing there is this wonderful
likeness between you and him; how
is it going to help us?'
F'Ted," I said, you're fool"
He moved uneasily.
"Chuck that" he cried, land come
to business. It's one to tell him I'm
fool and another to show me how

You're not as cute as I thought
you, lad," l remarked. Don't you
see my drift? What should you say
if l told you that one of these fine
mornings I meant to take the man
ayers place in the bank parlor and
to play the very deuce with the
banks transactions.
He still looked at me obviously.
II can't see," he said, pursuing his
lips, ''what good you can do at that
game. You're as ignorant of the
banks business as a kid
"Just So" I replied. ''But [ don't

ton. Now, listen to my plan.

Then [ shall make my move. [ shall

clerk that | have been instructed
from headquarters to have it for.

finally give him place we will ar.

He began to look more cheerful
Not bad idea," he said sullily;
'but it will take a lot of doing''
Rather" l replied, land you and
[ are the men to do it. Now, there's
another thing to be spoken of. In

to bring down a couple of his lad:

L at once confided to him some inn
| aginary details of an account which
| wished to open with the bank. l
forget now what l said, for | was in
tent all the time on watching him
closely, so as to be able to initiate
any little peculiarities of expression
or manner he possessed when the
time came.

week passed without my trusty
mate eliciting anything of value from
the sportive youth whose acquain-
lance he had made. But at the end
of that time he came to me and said:
Governor, [ reckon it's about
time for us to make our haul. I've
learned from young Barrett that the
bank will be sending 100000 worth
of bullion to Walkers, of Edinburgh,
the day after tomorrow
''Then there is not moment to be
lost l replied. go at once to Edin-
burgh and take an office there in the
commercial part of the town. Call
yourself Morrison, Jenkins & Co.,
and wire ME your address. I'll have
the bullion consigned there. The
moment you get it leave the place
and cross the Atlantic by one of the
vessels sailing from Glasgow. I'll join
you in the old crib in New York You

fright you are" he said promptly

On the following evening as Mr.
Benson was on his way home from
the theater he was seized, drugged
and bound, and conveyed to our
roost. In this manner the coast was
left clear for me to play my part.
Next morning I turned up at the
bank as the manager of the institu-
ton. In the faultless frock coat |
| wore an orchid, and seal, the coun-
terpart of that worn by Mr.. Benson,
| dangled from my watch chain. Ar
| tistically my dress and get-up were
beyond reproach.
At the same time I must confess [
felt sort of tremor as [ entered the
little room and sat down. Suppose
something should go wrong during
the day? So many things might oc-
cur to give me away. And then there
dawned on me the thought that i'm

formed myself from dark-compleX-

to Il venerable looking citizen of, say,
seventy or more. So complete was
the disguise that Ted coming in two
hours later, started.
''Beg pardon, sir" he cried; what
can | do for you?'
'In the queens name l arrest you,
Edward Marsden,' / cried, assuming
the manner of a detective.
He turned very white. Evidently
he thought his time had come at
last.
Seeing his distress | threw off the
wig and other DISCUSSES and cried:

mate when he had recovered from
the shock [ had given him.
Not much, but something to go
on with,'' he made reply. II watched
one or two Of the bank chaps go into
the little bar opposite the bank, and,
of course, | followed them in. One
of them seemed soft sort of fellow
and [ at once made up to him by ask
ing him what had won the Chester
cup. He told me at once, and as he
seemed to be a bit of sport L got
talking on race matters, asking him
for tips and SO on. He appeared fiat
tered by my reliance on what he
said, and we had veariOus WHISTLES
together. I didn't breathe word to
him about the bank, of course
That'll come later. Now, | have ar
ranged to meet him at the billiard
saloon tonight, where by filling him
with whisky and getting on the
right side of him [ may, perhaps, be
able to get hold of something worth

"a very good start, indeed" I COM
mented. II couldn't have done the
thing better myself,
He grinned, but said nothing. After
a pause he said:
what is your next move, COVER
nor?"
"My next move" said l, twill be
made tomorrow morning, when l
shall call upon the manager in the
disguise in which you now saw me.

HOLDUPS AT WORK.
TWO OCCURRED AT OGDEN LAST
EVENING.
From the Reform School and is
Lost in the Storm.
Especial to The Herald,

OGDEN, Utah, March 1.-Two dar-
ing holdups occurred here tonight. The
first happened about 800 down on
Twenty-ninth street near the canning
factory. A young man named Ander-
son was walking along near the rail-
road track when he was suddenly ac-
costed by two men and ordered to
hand over his money. 1t was raining
and very dark at the time. The men
had handkerchief masks and pistols.
Anderson tried to break away and
scuff1e ensued, in which his corduroy
coat was badly torn The robbers
threatened him with their guns and
took his money $3.50. also his mackin-
tosh coat. About two hours later. Mr..
Tribe was walking up Twenty
street when three men halted him in
the usual fashion and ordered him to
deliver his valuables The men had
handkerchiefs tied about their faces.
Two held guard over him while the
other searched his pockets. They Sc
cured some change and his watch. but
in their haste the time piece was
dropped and could not be found in the
darkness and storm. No arrests have
been made.
