the same nigh: another gang got 81 900
from bank at Carrolton, Tex.
Citizens at Falkland, Ind, fought an
exciting battle with bank robbers on
night OF December g. The thieves got
away with $500. On the same night
another gang got $3.50 at Ardmore,

All Precautions Useless.
Banks in all the small towns in
these states were literally turned into
arse1a!s, while thorough, up-to-date
equlpr:ent of burglar alarms was
gene. ally installed and special armed
watchmen employed by the banks.
The methods employed in practically
every one of these bank robberies have
been the same. The loot has seldom
failed. Sometimes it has amounted to
$4,000 from : single robbery, and
it mas scarcely ever been less than
81 1000.
No: since the days when the ia
nous Reno gang of bandits terrorized
the people with it's daring crimes has
the country been so boldly worked by
bank burglars as it was during the
autumn just past. With the advent
of the rural telephone and the de-
velopment of the interurban electric
railways the states boosted of prog
ress that was popularity supposed to
make the profession of yeggman so
hazardous that organizations of bur-
glars and systematic looting of banks
would be abandoned. But such seems
not 10 have been the case.
Missouri, which invented train rob-
berry. usually leads all the states of
the union in bank robberies. This
year, however, the state where peo-
pie have Ito be shown" has been
outdone by Indiana, Illinois, Ken
tucky, Kansas, Arkansas, the Indian
Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and
Nebraska, all parts of the favorite
range of the bank robber.
It j.; strange, but true, that few rob-
! berries ever occur out of season. A not
able exception was at Royal, ILL.,,
where a bank was robbed of $4,000.
This robbery occurred in August The
most remarkable recent case occurred
early last fall when robbers broke into
a bank at Mineral Point, Wis, and Sc
curel $25,29O.

arrested and burned at low fire by iE.-
perial order.
At the request of Philip w. and
Donna isabella of Spain, the pope.
Urban VIII, by bull dated September
IA, 1927, declared these missionaries
to be martyrs and patron saints of the
second class. This Dull arrived and
was published in Manila in 1929, amid
feasts and popular rejoicings.
The papal approval so increased tna
animation in favor of the missions to
Japan that ship was fitted out to
secretly carry Sc priests to the heather
country, but the vessel was wrecked
of the coast of Ilocus province, north
ern LuZon, the crew and priests being
saved.
After this unsuccessful attempt \
large sampan was secretly prepared at
a distance from Manila to convey thu
party to their destination, but as they
were about to embark the governor
general sent detachment of his SOL
diers with orders to stop them.
In 1633-34 the final extinction Of
Christians was vigorously commenced
by the emperor, To-Kogunsama, ard
in the latter year 50 persons were put
to death, the majority being burned,
while the others were either beheaded
or hung up by their toes and left to
die.
This persecution was so effective
that all the work of the missionaries
was brought to naught, and the
churches and converts were all demol-
ished.
Later on this same emperor sent $50
lepers in a ship to Manila, saying
through his ambassador that as no
knew the friars were especially fond
Of lepers he wished to remit them to
their care. The first thought of the
Spanish was to sink the pest ship win
their artillery, but finally Christian
spirit caused them to agree to receive
the afflicted Japanese, and they were
subsequently conducted, with great

- Why don't you drop the thtng?"
Why don't you drop the thing before
it gets too late?" His face was I'M
sympathetic, and below the question in
his voice lay note of hardness.
Chilcote returned his glance. The
suggestion of reproof had accentuated
his pallor Under his excitement he
looked Ill and worn.
You might talk till doomsday, but
every word would be wasted" he said
irritably. I'm past praying for by
something like six years"
Then why come here?" Loder was
pulling hard on his pipe. I'm not
dealer in sympathy"
Il don't require sympathy" Chilcote
rose again. He was still agitated. but
the agitation was quieter II want

pathy, and am willing to pay for it,
The other turned and looked at him
II have no possession in the world that
would be worth q flyer to you" he said
coldly. You're either under a delusion
or you're wasting my time"
Chilcote laughed nervously. Wait"
he said. Wait. I only ask you to
wait. First let me sketch sou my posi-

CHAPTER V.

CHAPTER V.
T~1OR the space of a minute there
was silence in the room; then
IL outside IN the still night three
clocks simultaneously chimed
II, and their announcement was taken
up and echoed by half a dozen others,
loud and faint, hoarse and resonant,
for all through the hours of darkness
the neighborhood of Fleet street is
alive with chimes.
Chilcote, startled by the jangle. rose
from his seat. Then, as If driven by
an uncomfortable impulse, he spoke
again.
You probably think I am mad he
began.
Loder took his pipe out of his mouth
Il am not so presumptuous," he said
quietly
For a space the other eyed him ST.
lently, as If trying to gauge his
thoughts. Then once more he broke
into speech.
LOOK here" he said. Il came to-
night TO make u proposition. When
have made it you'll first of all jeer at
me, as 1 teered when l made it to my
self. Then you'll see its possibilities,
as l did Then" he paused and glanc-
ed around the room nervously, then
you'll accept it, as 1 did" In the I'M
easy haste of his speech his words
broke off almost uninteligibly.
InvoluEtarily Loder lifted his head
to retort, but Chilcote put up his hand.
/ His face was set with the obstinate
determination that weak men some
7 times exhibit
Before l begin I want to say that
l am not drunk-thatI am neither mad
nor drunk" He looked fully at his
companion with his restless glance
Il am quite sane-quite reasonable"
Again LOder essayed to speak, but
again he put up his hand
NO. Hear me out You told me
something of your story. I'll tell you
! something of mine. You'll be the
first person, man or woman, that l
1 have contided in for ten years You
say you have been treated shabbily.
1 have treated myself shabbily, which
is harder to reconcile. l had every
chance and l chucked every chance
away"
There was q strained pause, then
again Loder lifted his head
'Morphia?' he said very quietly.
Chllcote wheeled around with a
scared gesture. How did You know
that?" he asked sharply.
The other smiled. at wasn't guess
ing. It wasn't even deduction. You
told me or as good as told me In the
fog when we talked Of Lexington.
You were unstrung that night, and I
WELL perhaps one gets overobservant
from living alone" He smiled again.
Chilcote collapsed into his former
seat and passed his handkerchief
across his forehead
Loder watched him for space. Then
he spoke. why don't you pull up?'
he said. "You are a young man still

WHISKY TABooED In ''.'-
MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Federated Clubs at Council Bluffs Sc
cure One Concession and Overlook
Other Persuaders'' to Voters.

Special to The Journal.
Council Bluffs, Iowa, March PAS
a result of the agitation Of the Fed
Grated Civic Improvement clubs, whisky
as a means of influencing voters is to
be tabooed in the coming city election.
Such persuaders as cigars, beer or even
money may, however, continue to be
used. The chairmen of the republican
and democratic central committees have
jaintly signed and published a state
ment in which they say they will not
countenance the use. of whisky by their
workers. Nothing is said in the mani
festo about any. other aids to waite get
ting, from which it is to be inferred
that the committees do not intend to
cut off all the customary auxiliaries to
a campaign at one fell swoop.
The Improvement clubs are far from
satisfied with the concession granted by
the chairmen Of the political commit
tees, and it is their intention to have
representatives at each Of the polling
places to secure the names of voters and
evidence of every instance where votes
are obtained thru the use Of liquor,
cigars or cash. The clubs also expect to
prevent the importation Of voters from
Omaha, custom which is said has long
prevailed and has been practiced by
both parties, Unfortunately. The
"moochers". are fighting hard against
what they consider the unwarranted in
novations suggested. by the Improve
ment clubs. s'. -
