Michigan avenue. Ills dress, winter and
summer. was a coarse shirt. open at the
neck. ragged trousers stuck into a pair of
top boots, and what once had been a frock

He never solicited aims. and how he lived
vas a mystery. For two years Silent Pete"
has not been seen in his daily haunts. He
passed through Chicago a few days ago q
prosperous mine owner. having a half IN

which the copper syndicate has maze a
standing offer of sl.o0o,o@. He carried a
letter of credit for about $4,000, and Is
new on the Atlantic, speeding as fast as
a crack liner can carry him to Sweden to
reunite him with his wife and children.

From that moment Silent Pete never
