much greater than at any other
time. for there is an immense
number of bills, reports and docu-
ments of every kind which have
to be printed solely for the use of con-
gress. But there is no time during the
year when the presses are not rumb-
ling and when publica lions, sometimes
in sets of many volumes and frequent
" with superb illustrations, are not
being thrown off.
There is no establishment in the
worlu where finer work can be done in
spite of the great mass of it, and the
beauty of it is that the work can be
done with astonishing rapidity. An
extra ordinary instance of this was the
publication of the report of the Samp-
son court of inquiry on the'destruction
of the Maine. That report contained
800 pages and was illustrated with a
great many half-tone cuts. It was
brought into the senate on the after
noon Of March %, 1898, in manuscript.
The next morning it was on the desks
Of every senator and represent
printed and Nound, and thousands of
copies had already been struck off.
Since that time the government print

or did not care. No shrewd criminal
would send forged telegram in his
own handwriting. He would use d
typewriter. Hestor sent this tele-
gram SO that you would not be
alarmed at Sidney's absence. 1t Is
plain as day"
Chalmers enioined the young ladies
to secrecy and returned to his news
paper duties.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens called his staff into conference.
He detailed four men to Boston, six
to Philadelphia and four to New Or
leans and Galveston. Twenty were
assigned to work in New York, and
six were held in reserve.
Interview every architect and
builder in these Cities" were Ste
yens' instructions. "Introduce your
self as a writer who is preparing
an elaborate article on summer or
country residences. Be specially So
lcitous about specimens of tropical
architecture. Then lead up to who
designed the Walter B. Hestor resi-
dence. There is special offer of
$4,000 for the reporter who locates
the architect, and the same amount
| for the one who discovers the con-
tractor
Stevens had already satisfied him
self that no lumber had been loaded
on the SHARK" He explained to his
men such facts as were necessary
for their guidance. It was not nee
essary to enjoin them to secrecy.
The tempting rewards were suffi-
Gent to insure that caution Each
reporter was literally supplied with
money and they went to work with
energy.
That afternoon, the Sth of May,
Chalmers opened Hestor's desk, and
with Stevens, made a minute exam
ination of it's contents. Much to
their surprise, three check books
were found on the glass-covered sur
face of the desk. On dates from
April 25 to May 1, inclusive, Hestor
had drawn checks payable to him
self aggregating $4,648,OO
"How could he have amassed that
amount of cash?" asked Stevens, as
he footed up the aggregate.
Here is memorandum which ex-
plains that" said Chalmers. He
pointed to the inside cover of one of
the check books on which was tabu-
lated sales of bonds and stocks
amounting to $4,627 900.
1.-The Hestor estate was largely in
securities" said Chalmers. 81 re-
member Hestor told me at one time
that he owned between $4,000, 900
and $16,000,000 worth of gilt-edged
stuff"
"What did he do with the cash ?''
asked Stevens, with an air which in
dicated that he could answer his
own question.
Street & Rogers might answer if
they would" said Chalmers. "a man
of Hestor's standing could margin
100000 shares of stock with that
amount of money. He was too wise
to draw checks payable to anyone
but himself. He must have lugged
that money down there in bills. 1t
would not make much of a package
in $1,000 bills. Hestor must be $40
100000 ahead in this deal. His in
sanity takes canny form. I would

which would make the two boats

promptly assumed the appearance Of

The stranger came on, decreasing
the distance which separated the two
boats until suddenly, when the dhow
was some 200 yards away the Kitty
broke out her flag and fired blank
shot across the bows Of the dhow.
The heads OF twenty men could be
