fore, whether or not you intend 20
look farther into the matter yourself,
l beg you will at least authorize me
to make survey of the field by day
light in the morning"
Dunlap looked anything but pleased
as the reporter spoke these words.
He thought before replying.
Frankly, Mr.. Sturgis," he said, at
length. with studied courtesy, Il will
not conceal the fact that what you
ask places me in rather awkward
position. You are a friend of my
friend sprague, and my personal in
tercourse with you this evening has
been pleasant enough to make me
hope that, in the future, I may be
SO fortunate as to include you in my
own circle of acquaintance. There
fore, on personal grounds, it would
give me great pleasure to grant your
request. But, on the other hand, you
are journalist and I am banker;
and it is with banks as with nations
happy that which has no history.
Capital is proverbially timid, you
know"
st see," said sturgis; "you fear that
the reputation of the Knickerbocker
bank may suffer if the mystery OF
the pistol shots is solved"
mo, no, my dear sir; not at all,
not at all. You quite misunderstood
me-" replied the banker, with just a
shade of warmth. ut is not ques-
ton of the banks credit exactly
since there has been neither robbery
nor defalcation; but depositors do not
like to see the name of their bank
mentioned in the newspapers; they
take fright at once. Depositors are
NEST unreasonable beings, Mr.. Stur-
gis; they are liable to become panic
stricken on the most Insignificant prov
ocation; and then they run amuck
like mad sheep. The Knickerbocker
bank does not fear any run that
might ever be made upon it. Its
credit stands on too secure founda-
ton for that. But nevertheless run
on bank is expensive, Mr.. Sturgis,
very expensive"
1.-THE banks affairs being in so sat
isfactory a condition." observed the
reporter, sit seems to me that what
ever harm publicity is likely to do
has already been done. The magma
lions of your depositors are now at
work sapping the foundation of the
Knickerbocker bank. If the truth
cannot injure its credit, it can only
strengthen it; and to withhold the
truth under the circumstances is to
invite suspicion"
Dunlap did not appear to like the
turn the conversation was taking
He walked along in silence for few
minutes, irresolute. At length he
seemed to make up his mind.
perhaps you are right after ALL

attended by President Mckinley, tells a
story which he heard one evening while din
ing at the white house with the president
and Bishop Chandler, of the Methodist
church south. The party was talking about
revivalists and revivals, and the case Of the
well-known exhorter, Sam Jones, was
brought up. "The best characterization of
Sam Jones' preaching l ever heard said
the bishop, was that Of a good colored1
brother in Virginia. He had just heard
Jones preach, and was describing it to some
of his fellows. 'Jist as long as Bre'r Jones

When a preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you 60 into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets, Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is inn
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
something else'' in place of the article you
ask for, has an AK to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our of your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you substitute for Cascarets
is fraud: Beware of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of repu.
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
go so far, he will 60 farther. If he cheats
his customer in one way, he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with him.

CHAPTER Nv.
THE BANK PRESIDENT.

Sprague's dinner party was over,
and among the first to take their
leave, shortly after midnight, were
Dunlap, Sturgis and Dr.. Thurston.
The reporter did not often spend
an evening in worldly dissipation. He
was a man of action, a hard worker
and an enthusiastic student. Almost
all of the time which was not actually
spent in the pursuit of his profession,
was devoted to study in many widely
different fields of art and science.
For Sturgis' ideal of his profession
was high; he held that almost every
form of knowledge was essential to
success in his line of work. 1t was
seldom, therefore, that he allowed
himself to spend precious evening
in social intercourse, unless as more
or less direct means to some end. He
had made an exception in favor of
Sprague's dinner, and his meeting
with Dunlap, whom he had not pre-
viously known, had been entirely &C.
cidental.
Dunlap was, however, man whom
ucCOCu w SSS IL CA-S SoAASS
of his study of the Knickerbocker
bank mystery, and he had not lost
the opportunity which chance had
placed in his way. After obtaining an
introduction to the bank president,
the reporter had sought an occasion
to speak with him in private; and, as
this did not present itself during the
course of the evening, he had timed
his departure so that it should coin
eide with that of Dunlap. DR.. Thurs
ton had followed his friends lead
care you going down to the bank
this evening, Mr. Dunlap?" asked
Sturgis. as the trio faced the bleak
wind.
81? No. Why should II" inquired
the banker, in apparent surprise.
II see no particular reason why
you should" replied the reporter. If
to-day were banking day, there
would be no time to lose. But since
it is New Years day, there is little,
if any, chance of the trail being dis
turbed; and it will be much easier
to find it in broad daylight than by
gaslight. Our friends of the central
Office are usually pretty clever. in dis
covering at least the more evident
clews in a case of this sort, even when
they have not the ability to correct
ly interpret them. And since they
have completely failed in their search
tonight. we must anticipate more
than ordinarily difficult puzzle
'Why, Mr.. Sturgis," said Dunlap,
somewhat anxiously. you talk as
though you really believed that some
mysterious crime has been committed
at the bank"
ct do not know enough about the
case as yet to advance any positive
belief in the matter" said Sturgis;
ssbut if we assume as correct the cir
cumstances related in the article
which Dr. Murdoch read to us this
evening, they certainly present an
extraordinary aspect"
Dunlap reflected for an instant.
"Still. the fact that our cashier
found every thing in good order at the
bank is in itself completely reassur-
ing" he said. musingly.
every likely" assented sturgis. ut
IL quite possible that from bankers
point of view the problem is wholly
devoid of interest; but from de-
tective's standpoint it appears to be
full of promising features. There

Until one realizes how carefully the
business is conducted, it is a mystery
how any profit is made by the 5-cent
restaurants which are so great a boon
to working men. In the first place.
they feed good many people, ranging
all the way from three hundred to five
hundred day, and thus buy their pro-
visions in bulk, oatmeal by the barrel.
veal by the carcass, beans almost by
the carload, and as to hash, they make
that by the bushel. Moreover, they
save expense by using the latest appi-
ances, steam tables to keep the food
warm, choppers to cut up the hash, and
dish-washers that save wear and tear
of muscle and towel So economical Ia
the business that they even strain the
dish-washer, collecting the grease for
the soap kettle. Their economy, how
ever, does not lead them to the extreme
of saving food from the plate and serv-
ing it again. Even the hash Is brand
new.
