The remarkable resemblance Of the two
men is noted and commented on by pas
sengerS on the ferry. They see q man
with snake eyes. which sends thrill
through Dudley. Wilton poStpones an ex-
PLANTATION of the strange errand Dudley
is to perform, but occurrences cause him

Ing. Wilton leaves Giles in their room
with instruction to await his return and
shoot any one who tries to enter.
CHAPTER II.-OutsiGe there is heard
shouts and crrses and the noise of q
quarrel Henry rushes in and at his re-
quest the roommates quickly exchange
clothes, and he hurrieS oIS again. Hard
ly has ne gone than Giles is startled by a
cry of Help" and he runs out to find
some one being assaulted by a half dozen
men. lie summons policeman but they
are unable to find any trace of q crime
CHAPTER ITI.-Giles returns to his

CHAPTER v.
Doddrid1e Knapp.

1t was past ten o'clock of the morn
ing when the remembrance OF the
mysterious note | had received the
preceding night came on me. | took
the slip from my pocket, and read its
contents once more. 1t was perplex-
ing enough, but it furnished me with
an idea. Of course / could not take
money intended for Henry Wilton.
But here was the first chance to get
at the heart of this dreadful business.
The writer of the note, | must sup
pose, was the mysterious employer.
If could see her l could find the way
of escape from the dangerous burden
of Henry Wlton's personality and
mission.
But which Dank could be meant?
The only names / knew were the
Bank of California, whose failure in
the previous year had sent echoes
even into my New England home, and
the Anglo-C Californian Bank, on which
| held a draft The former struck
me as the more likely place of APP
pointment, and after some skilful
navigating | found myself at the cor
ner of California and Sansome streets,
before the building through which the
wealth of an empire had flowed.
| watched closely the crowd that
passed in and out of the treasure
house, and assumed what l hoped was
an air of prosperous Indifference to
my surroundings.
No one appeared to notice me.
There were eager men and cautious
men. and men who looked secure and
men who looked anxious, but neither
man nor woman was looking for me.
Plainly / had made a bad guess. A
hasty walk through several other
banks that / could see in the neigh
borhood gave no better result, and
had to acknowledge that this chance
of penetrating the mystery was gone.
| speculated for the moment on what
the effects might be. To neglect an or
der of this kind might result in the
withdrawal of the protection that had
saved my life, and in turning me over
to the mercies of the banditti who
thought l knew something of the
whereabouts of boy.
AS | reflected thus, / came upon a
crowd massed about the steps of a
great granite building in Pine Street;
a whirlpool of men, it seemed, with
cross-currents and eddies, and from
the whole rose the murmur of excited
voices.
1t was the Stock Exchange, the
gamblers paradise, in which millions
were staked, won and lost, and ruin
and affiuence walked side by side.
As watched the swaying, shout
ing mass with wonder and amuse-
ment, a thrill shot through me.

WINCHESTER'S PART IN
THE TOBACCO FIGHT

The tobacco has been sold: the
farmers are victorious, and there
is great rejoicing over all Of the
State. But don't forget Winches-
ter. The city has the right to be
particularly proud Of the part which
she took in that fight We have heard
it said by many high officials of the
tobacco movement that had it not
have been for the support and good
cheer which they received from Win
chester In the beginning, the move
ment would have fallen through.
Whether this is true or not we are
not prepared to say, but we know
that Winchester took the lead when
the matter was first uD for organi-
cation.
In September, 1906, a few far
mers met In New Castle and decided
to try and pool the tobacco crop.
The meeting lasted for few hours,
the main question being how to get
the movement pronerly launched.
Mr.. Chas Hanna, who was the chair
man of the meeting, urged and in
sisted that the place from which to
start it was at Winchester and the
people to get back of it was the
Winchester Commercial Club.
The meeting took NJ. Hanna's adj
vice and sent him as a delegate to
the State DEVELOPMENT Association
which was to meet in Winchester that
year about the middle Of October
Mr.. Hanna came before the Asso-
citation and In a most able address
presented the tobacco cause and the
need of organization of the farmers.
A short while after the meeting
adjourned. that night several of the
members of the Winchester CONNER
sial Club deeply impressed with the
appeal of Mr.. Hanna and feeling
that it was a righteous cause, con-
ferred with him and decided that
they would take hold of the matter
at once and see if it could not be
worked out to a successful con-
slusion. II was decided that they
would issue an appeal to the to-
bacco growers of the White Burley
District calling on them to meet in
Winchester November 3rd of that
year to discuss the organization of
a tobacco society and the feasibil-
ity and ACCESSIBILITY of pooling our
tobacco.
From the office Of the Commercial
Club at Winchester there was sent
some six hundred letters urging the
tobacco growers Of the District to
attend the Convention. Good fruit
resulted from the appeal for the Con-
yention was largely attended and the
result of that beginning has just now
been achieved and has now become
a part of the history of Kentucky.
AT this meeting resolutions were
passed approving the work of the
Commercial Club in its effects to
assist the tobacco growers of the
State and thanking it and the citi-
zens of this county for the hearty CO.
opera ton and assistance which they
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1908-11-21

had given the movement. From that
meeting the members went to their
homes with fixed determination to
make the movement a success. The
organizers seemed to gather inspira-
ton and encouragement from the
active and persistent work which the
Commercial Club was doing and the
manner in which they were taking
hold of the work.
We remember hearing more than
two speakers upon that occasion
use practically this language: "This
movement is bound to be a success
for with the good peonle of Win
chester back of it and the CONNER
cial Club fostering it there can be
no failure for the Winchester Com
mercial Club has never failed in ANY,
thing which 1T has undertaken"
Those who were present at that con-
vention will remember that this was
practically the keynote of the adj
dresses of all the members. After
this meeting adjourned the Secretary
and stenographers of the CONNER
cial Club were placed at the disposal
of the committees of the tobacco
movement to assist in exploiting and
advertising the movement and get
ting it properly started.
1t was thus that the Burley To-
bacco Society came into existence.
We rejoice in its success and are
proud of the movement which we
succored and nursed in its infancy
and to which we gave helping and
guiding hand In its early struggle
and lent it aid and support until it
was able to stand alone.
The officials and those high up in
the movement recognized the good
offices which Winchester had rem
dered the Society in its early dawn,
for when Louisville, Cincinnati. Lex
ington and Mavsville were urging
the Society to make its headquarters
at one of those points the CONNER
cial Club of Winchester sent a com
mittee before the directors Of the
Society to present the claims of Win
chester. The directors heard us
and decided that the headquarters of
the Society should be at the place
and among the people who were its
first and foremost friends
We are always proud of Winches-
ter and we are proud of the big part
which she took in the bic fight
against the big trust and the big VIC
tory just won and while we are to-
day rejoicing with the people in the
successful outcome of their strug-
gle, still. if we must confess it, the
Joy IS sweetened by the knowledge
of the fact that Winchester and her
Commercial Club was a potent fac
tor in the victory.
