CHAPTER'X.
PIECING THE EVIDENCE.

Sturgis was still busy with his dia-
gram. He spoke without looking up
from his work.
WHO besides yourself has key to
the drawer in which this revolver is
kept?"
''rhe cashier has one and the head
bookkeeper has another
"You mean the bookkeeper who sits
Mt the desk at the extreme right in the
bookkeepers' department? y
YES" replied Dunlap. that is Mr..
Arbogast's desk. Do you know him?'
NO. What did you say the gentle
mans name is?" The reporter looked
up and prepared to make note off it.
John W. Arbogast."
"A man something over so years of
age, quite bald, with fringe OF gray
hair: wears heavy mustache and side
whiskers; and had on yesterday after
noon, when you last saw him, a pepper
and-salt business suit" said Sturgis.
writing down the name in his note
book.
Dunlap stared at the reporter in
amazement. Sturgis smiled slightly.
II met the gentleman yesterday aft
ernoon." he explained.
"Oh, that accounts for it," exclaimed
the banker. ~ see-but-but, then,
how comes it that you did not know his
pame?"
"He did not tell me his name" said
Sturgis, graycly, "and did not know
until Just now that he was employed in
the knickerbocker bank. How long
has he been with you?"
Nearly 20 years; but only for the
last five years as head bookkeeper.'
81 suppose you have every confidence
in his honesty?' asked the reporter,
looking critically at the diagram be-
fore him.
"Of course. Such position is not
given to man unless his record is ex-
cellent."
And yet" observed the reporter, re-
fiectiyeiy, opportunity sometimes
makes the thief"
True; but the duty of bank presi-
dent is to reduce such opportunities
to minimum said Dunlap, somewhat
pompously.
Quite So" assented Sturgis, land
this you accomplish by"
"By having the books examined pc
riodically," answered the banker, rub
bling his hands together with calm sat
isfaction.
II see," said the reporter, who had
now finished his sketch. "Do the EN-
ployes of the bank know when an exam
ination of this kind is to be madeV'
"They do not even know that such
examinations are made. No one but
the accountant and myself are in the
secret; for the overhauling of the books
is done entirely at night, after the bank
is closed"
''Have the books been recently en-
amined?" asked Sturgis, carelessly.
"Yes; only last week."
"Well?"
"They were found to be all right, as
usual"
"Mny ask by whom?"
"Dy Murray & Scott, the expert ac-
countants."
"Was the examination conducted by
Mr.. Murray or by Mr.. Scott?"
The stayer. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1896-1903, 1901-11-28

Have you the key to the desk?"
YES" replied the banker.
"Will you kindly see il the revolver
you mention is in its place."
1T ought TO be-" said Dunlap. pick
ing out the key ON bunch which he
took from his pocket, and walking to-
wards the cashiers department with
Sturgis at his heels.
"Yes, here it is in its accustomed
place"
He handed it to the reporter, who ex-
amined it attentively.
Exactly" said Sturgis, with salts
faction; "this is what l was looking
for"
what 90 you mean?" asked Dunlap.
81 mean that this is the revolver
which was fired twice last night in the
Knickerbocker bank. See for yourself;
two of the cartridges are empty, and
the weapon has not been cleaned since
these shots were fired"
But who can have fred the pistol,
and at whom was ii fired, and why?"
Hold on. hold on!" exclaimed Stur-
gis, smiling; zone thing at time. We
shall perhaps come to that soon. For
the present, if you will come back to
your private Office, shall endeavor to
piece together the scraps of evidence
which l have been able to collect.
There. sit down in your own armchair,
If YOU will, while fit these bits of pa
per together; and in less than ten
minutes l shall probably be ready to
proceed with my story"
Dunlap was still nervous and impa
tient; but all trace of amusement and
skepticism had vanished from his face,
rs he took the proifered armchair and
watched Sturgis patiently piece to-
gether the tiny fragments of paper he
had so carefully gathered. When this
work was accomplished, the reporter
went to the typewriter and wrote q few
lines on sheet of paper He next pro-
cecded to examine under the micro
scope the minute fragments and parti-
Giles which he had collected in his
search.
When he had finished this operation.
he leaned back in his chair and looked
up into space for what seemed to Dun
lap an interminable length of time.
Then at last he glanced at the banker.
who could hardly contain his growing
Impotence.
II am ready to go on now" said
Sturgis. reaching for sheet of paper
upon which he began to draw with
ruler and pencil.
AT last!" sighed the banker.
"Yes; but my first, as the charades
say, is a~question."
"Another!" gasped Dunlap; when is
my turn to Gomez"
Just few more" replied Sturgis;
land then your turn will come for
good"
well. out with your questions then,
If you must" said Dunlap, seating him
self resignedly in his chair.

Dunlap, with an unsteady hand, took
the blotting paper; and, holding it be-
fore the glass, studied the reflection
intently.
What do you make out?" asked
Sturgis.
Nothing whatever" replied the
banker, promptly.
"What?" exclaimed the reporter;
"do you mean to say that you do not
distinguish any marks on the blotting
paper?'
Il mean to say that do not see any
thing to which l can attach any SEM
blance of meaning. The blotting pa
per has been used, and, of course,
there are ink marks upon it; but, as

How many citizens Of Buffalo who
have watched the imported gondoliers
on the exposition canals realize that we
have developed race of gondoliers of
our own right here in Buffalo? The
dirty old skiffs down in the harbor are
not so pleasing to the eye as the smart
Venetian gondolas at the fair. The
grimy ferry boys who propel them
don't look so foreign or so picturesque
as their fellow craftsmen from abroad
But when it comes to skill in handling
boat with a single stern oar, lodging
around between steamers and tugs,
through narrow passages and over the
swells made by the big ships the Buff
falo boys have no need to fear compari-
son.
1t would be an interesting and popu-
lar exhibition if the Pan-American au-
thorities some day would take three or
four of the best of the ferry boys from
Buffalo harbor up to the exposition
grounds, put them on the canals in
their old skiffs and match them in a
contest of speed and skill against the
imported gondoliers. I'd bet my money

dwellings, of rskimos.

1t is a mistake to suppose that the
Eskimos of Greenland live in huts
made of ice or snow, even though
some of the writer's Of Biographies do
say so. The huts In which they pass
the winter are rudely conical in shape,
4 little more than five feet high, made
Of stone, with the cracks and spaces
filed with earth and the whole covered
with turf on sod. A passageway about
six feet long and less than three feet
square leads to the interior, and there
is small window in the hut directly
over the pasSageway. Tht hut, which
is called an igloo, contains only one
room and has built around it's sides
rude platform or bench Of stone. When
summer arrives, the Eskimos abandon
their igloos and dwell in skin tents,
called tupics. Huts made of ice and
stone are never used except temporari-
ly, as, for example, when they are tray
cling long distances during the winter
or when for some reason they do not
return TO their winter settlements.
