CHAPTER ",
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, 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. It 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 ac-
cidental.
Dunlap was, however, man whom
Sturgis needed to see in the course
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.
"Are you going down to the bank
this evening, Mr.. Dunlap?" asked
Sturgis,~ as the trio faced the bleak
wind. y ,'t -...s~. . .a-. f., 80
II? No. Why should I?'' 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 case of this sort, even when
they have not the ability to correct,
~ 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" :ta;s.,|s ,z<,.,.s...sl..e.
81 do not know enough about the
case as yet to advance any positive
belief in the matter" said Sturgis;
abut II we assume as correct the cir
cumstances related in the article
which DR.. Murdock read toaus this
evening, they certainly present an
extraordinary aspect" jis ssses= 4 :Iy.5' 81 +
Dunlap reflected for an instant.
"still, the fact that our cashier
found everything in good order at the
bank is ID itself completely reassur-
ing" he said, musingly.
Very likely, Z assented sturgis. TT
Is quite possible that from 9 bankers
point Of view the problem is wholly
devoid Of interest; but from g de-
5@tective's standpoint Il appears TO be
full Of promising features. There

A case of unusual interest 30 naval off,

by Alfred l. Royce, a chaplain N the

Personnel bill. Should his claim be ap-
proved by the courts, hundreds Of other

Ter OF the Treasury is opposing Chaplain

Mr.. Royce bases his case on a part OF

Chaplain Royce was appointed from
civil life in 1881. and has served contin-
uously ever since. BY the terms of The
Revised Statutes, ehaplains in the Navy

$500 per annum after having served Eve
