care should sit behind him as he rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowy
thought for the person who had lost
this money. He did not even speculate
upon the manner of it's loss. 1t had
passed into the control of one who need
ed it, and that was enough.
He disposed the notes In his pockets,
in the best interests of comfort and
safety. Then he folded up the brown
paper and pocketed that also, with a
dim consciousness that, if it were left
in the cab, it might get the driver into
trouble. The fellow was honest, no
doubt, and Herrick did not wish that
he should suffer wrong. He preferred
to keep the wrapper himself, and take
the risk of it until he could find some
means of disposing of it that would be
safer than throwing it out of the cab
window.
How to leave the cab was question
which concerned him nearly. He did
not wish to confront the driver again,
for there might be an investigation, and
ii question of Identification might arise,
in which case it would be well to have
the man know as little as possible of
Herriek's personal appearance. He re-
flected with satisfaction that the spot
on Wall street where he had entered
the carriage had been rather dark.
The cab stopped suddenly. Its path
being blocked by a tangle of vehicles.
Herrick softly put his hand upon the
catch of the door. 1t yielded noiseless-
ly; the door swung open.
Herrick stepped out. Turning back
for an instant he perceived the cabman
sitting upon his box in entire uncon-
seriousness OF the fraud that was being
practiced upon him. He was a poor
man, and doubtless worked hard for
ell the money that he received. Still,

voice with which to ask who was there.
But one explanation was possible; he
must have been watched by the police.
He tottered to the door and gave ut
terance to hoarse, inarticulate sound.

without. "You asked to be called, sir"
He rushed to the window and flung
open the shutters. Day streamed in,
strong and beautiful. The gas flame
paled. He knew that he had slept as
he had not slept before in years. In
the mysterious depths of his life he felt
new strength stirring, but it was only
nascent as yet.
A bath and a breakfast revived him
still more. He felt the exhilaration Of
a busy day upon which he was enter
ing. He scanned the papers, but so.far
as he could see they had no news of
the money that had been lost. He was
not conscious of any excitement in
searching for that news. The fear of
detection had quite left him. Of all
stolen goods, money is the hardest to
recover.
Presently he found himself riding
downtown in an elevated railroad train.
He was going to a steamship Office to
arrange for his journey; then to banle.

His pockets were bullying with money,
but there was something in one of them
that he couldn't remember to have put
there. He pulled it out and found it
to be the brown paper wrapper that had
contained the money. AS he held il
in his hand it was concealed by his
newspaper. No fellow passenger could
see it; and that was doubly fortunate,
because, in plain sight upon the paper,
was name and address: Herbert L

so far as determination is
concerned. They are anxious TO get
revenge for a former defeat with
Wheeling boys, and this motive will
make them all the more jealous and
strongly determined. They are all
strongly built, hardy men, we'll versed
in tactics, and capable of giving hard
struggle.
On the other hand, the local team is
composed Of muscular men who are
noted for their dash and ability on the
gridiron. The Wheeling team is just
as confident that the Pittsburg club
will be defeated as the latter are that
they will win. 1t will be no mean
contest, and one that will warm the
spirits of the large crowd who will
doubtless witness it. The officials Sc
lected are Carl Laing, of Wheeling,
and John F. Miller of Pittsburg, who
will alternate as referee and umpire.
e. J. Call, of Pittsburg, and Wheeling
