.The accident insurance will not last

"The accident insurance will not last

how you we're able to make 1t cover SO
many things, anyway"
He gazed at the waters of the little
creek flowing hypnotically before him.
"Who's Dck2" he finally asked alb

She turned her face away.
"Dick was my brother" she said soft
ly. "He was drowned in the Galveston
food. We were together on the second
floor of our house. The first floor was
foot deep in water. He insisted that
he would swim to the nearest neigh
boris for help. l begged him not to 60
but he went and was drowned"
They sat in silence until Hartleigh
spoke
"Louise-my own people call me Dick
and the first time l saw you-you
clung to my fingers and called me Dick

were not conscious then, but I've been

drawn her head against his rough
tweed shoulder most comforting, for
she smiled up into his face contentedly
"And we'll frame policy No. 1884 and

been thrown open to the sufferers, the
doctor In charge took him to Louise
Bradley.
'I'm afraid this will be the worst
case" he said. Seems like concussion
Of the brain. Well see that everything
possible Is done for her."
Hartleigh looked pitylngly at the slim
slip of a girl, her head bandaged and
her face flushed with fever. "She's an
orphan-no relatives-poor little thing"
And he touched her hand gently.
The girls fingers clasped his, and she
opened her eyes unexpectedly.
"Dick. you'll stay" she begged
breathlessly-'youll not leave me
alone?"
Richard Hartleigh sat down by the
bed and humored her feverlsh fancy.
"Yes, Louise; yes, little girl. I'll stay"
he said soothingly
1t was not until the doctor and the
trained nurse arrived from town an
hour later that he unclasped his fin
gers gently and left her.
He walked up and down the meadow
path smoking quietly.
81 WONDER" he exclaimed finally,
"who in thunder Dick isr'
A month later he went down in his
automobile to take her for her first out
ing since the accident.
"The doctor says you are doing fine
ly." He tucked robe around her feet
and put an extra cushion for her back.
Honestly, this accident policy busi-
ness is fascinating" he jumped in be-
side her and started the machine.
81 had no Idea an insurance COM
pany did so much for people" she
laughed. "It has paid doctors bills,
sent flowers and fruit and come down
twice a week to see how the policy
holder was getting on-and lots Of
things"
Hartleigh chuckled rather sheepishly.
''The flowers and fruit were little
extra touches thrown in," he con-
ceded.
When he came the next week, he
found her strong enough to ramble
down the meadow path with him. and
they finally sat on the fallen ioG by

RAILROAD MEN HELD ON
CHARGE OF ROBBERY

Through the confession of Walter
Bowman, the cocaine hend arrested in
this city some time ago, City Marshal
Coles believes he has at last discov-
cred the identity of the men who
broke into the store of Bucharaeh
Prothers late on the night of Au-
gust 26, and as a result Edward Rob
inson and William J. Daley. both rail-
road men, are locked behind the bars
of the city Jail on charges of being
suspicious characters, says the Las
Vegas optic,
While both Robinson and Daley
protest their Innocence and claim that
they will be able at the proper time
to show c~onclusively that they could
not possibly have committed the rob-
berry, II is the opinion of the city
marshal that he has the guilty men
under arrest and that he will secure
the reward offered by Bacharach
Brothers for the apprehension Of the
guilty parties.
Robinson at one time was an en-
gineer in the employ Of the Santa Fe,
but has been out Of work for some
time, having, IL is understood. been
discharged for breech Of duty. Daley
has been working ~irregularly as "a
brakeman, but has not held a steady
position for some time. it is said.
Daley and Robinson claim that they
were IN the Annex saloon at the time
the Bacharach theft was committed
and hat they had been there for sew
eral hours prior to that time. Both
men are confident Of establishing
alibis.
The confession upon which these
men were arrested was obtained yes
terday afternoon. It is said, from Wal
ter Bowman. the young man who was
taken into custody a week ago for q
small theft and late sentenced to
serve three months in Jail in order
that he might overcome the habit Of
using cocaine. Bowman. who comes
from a good family i'm Fort Madison.
Iowa. is said to have decided to begin
life anew after his release from Jail,
and not wishing TO conceal his knowl-
edge of the Bacharach robbery. he
sent for City Marshal Coles and con-
fided in him several facts which were
followed shortly by the arrest of Rob-
inson and Daley.
While Marshal Coles refuses 10 state
what information he obtained from
Bowman he admitted that he had
some very strong evidence against the
railroad men. He is having another
conference with Bowman this after
noon and expects TO have enough
proof in his hands by night to bind
both Of his prisoners over to the
grand jury.
