Securities valued at about $50. 600
were missing from one of the safes In
ing to show when they had been taken,
but they had not all been distracted at
the same time. 1t was probable that
the safe had been visited" on four OF
five occasions. There had been no
breaking of locks or drilling Of holes.
This fact put four men under sus-
pfcion, but Dunton's investigation
speedily cleared two of them. The
others were Mr.. Rand. the cashier, and
Mr.. Packard, his assistant. Both were
past fifty, of excellent reputation, quite
clear of debt or speculative entangie-
ment and altogether the most unlikely
men for such a deed that could well
be imagined. Moreover, 1t was Mr.
Packard who had discovered the theft
He had Immediately reported it to Mr.
Rand, and the two of them had laid
the matter before Mr.. Switzerland. Yet
one or the other Of these men or Mr.
Switzerland himself must have taken
the securities from the safe, If the
thing had been done at ALL
Now, there could be no doubt that
the securities were missing, and If
they had not been taken from the
safe it must be because they had never
been in it. Could this be possible2
Mr.. Switzerland had been out of
health. For several months he had
been under doctors orders to take
things easy. and he had been spend

Instead of living out Of doors, as he
had promised the doctor, he had con-
Quoted many important negotiations,
and he admitted, in response to Dun
tons questions, that all the missing
securities had been delivered to him
at his home in Marblehead and brought
to the city by him.
There was young man named Regi-
maid varney who had an office for
stenography and typewriting in the
same building with Switzerland G. Co.
He had done some work for Mr.. South
erland in a notably satisfactory man
ner and had made favorable impress

Thus it fell out that when Mr. South

hearty congratulations over his re-

the Marshall Messenger gives the

as follows:
"Dr. Sinclair will soon sail for

he will go to South Africa to visit
his widowed mother, then visit the
principle cities of the world, return

lands and will be ready to take his
seat in the British house of lords.
He is in the prime of life, with good
health, and with his Edinburg educa-

Deliver for Vice President.

Senator j. P. Dolliver, who is to
open the Chautauqua season here

Of Taft for his running mate as vice
president. That Delivers choice
would be a popular one is rhymingly
stated by the Minneapolis Journal in
this wise:

Would for the rest put it all over;
And the continent sweep,

From Labr ador clean down to Bolivar.
But Senator Dolliyar declares that
he does not want the honor in expli-
cit terms. He says over his own
signature:
Nov, in the first place, this is an
office which do not desire. I have
no ambition in that direction. My
ambitions are altogether in serving
the people from my seat in the SEN
ate and could not enter this candi-
dacy without great sacrifice of my
personal inclinations and of my in
terests as we'll.
Il do not underrate the dignity
of the office and of course this honor
of being associated with Mr.. Taft in
the campaign is not one to be treat

considerations, feel my duty lies
in the other direction.

Thus snubbed by the young man
whom he had held in his arms, an i'm
perious as well as an imperial infant,
the old statesman sought sanctuary in
silence. BIZ he had said that which
had been in his mind to say, and he
was satisfied Meekness was not his

the faithful servant, humbly loyal
through injustice and misunderstand-

knew it to be the one effective role.
He sat beside the emperor with bowed
head and STOPPING shoulders which
suggested the weakness of old age, his
hands clasped before him, and from
time to time he sighed patiently.

"Yeu have led me to suppose that
our call at the hunting lodge will be a

the case, isn't it?"
Count Won Breitstein would have pre-
ferred that the question had not been
asked. He had intended TO convey the
impression which the emperor had re-
ceiyed but he had not clothed it in
actual statement. Luckily the prince
was as clever as he was good looking,
and he could be trusted as an actor;
otherwise the old man would have
been still more reluctant TO commit
himself.

Fun at the Gymnasium.

/ On Monday evening the first class
work was commenced at the gym.
f, Vi. Richardson, the new instructor
| who came up from Salt Lake to re-
| main for few weeks, started the
work promptly at $50, and drilled
the men and boys in many different
exercises. The boys of the town are
very much taken with the work. and
the business men who are trying to
bear the cares of the world on their
minds and shoulders, find it a fine
place to forget these things and re-
lax from the burden. Men who had
not enjoyed hearty laugh for weeks
catch the spirit of the games and be-
come boys again. Men whose cares
have been with them day and night
shake them off at the gym, and then
go home and get a full nights sleep
and grapple with the problems OF
business the next day with al vigor
they had not fell before.
On Tuesday evening the work was
given to the ladies. Many of them
have not yet gotten their boomers,
but it is expected that there will be
a large number in the class tonight,
prepared to leap and swing, run,
romp, and box, and swing the Indian
clubs.
Grocers' business will pick up
some now, because of the quickened
