KEPT FUNDS FOR WOODSMEN
Conductor as a Walking Bank for
Reckless Workers.

"For more than thirty years the
most popular woodsman's bank In
Maine was a bank on two legs" says
Maj. Holmes Day, author OF king
Spruce Until he was over seventy
years old Uncle Nate Swan was con-
ductor on the Bangor & Piscataquis
railroad, running between the city and
Moosehead lake. With him rode the
woods and driving crews. When they
forgot themselves and made a racket
on his train he used to cuff them into
submission and no man ever raised
his hand against Unole Nate. When
the men came out of the woods with
their pay most Of them realized from
bitter experience that the city folks
would get all their money away from
them in a few days. As soon as they
would get aboard the train they
would begin to strip teG-dollar bills on
their rolls and hand the money to
Uncle Nate to sink Tor them-bank-
ing it on call. They ntver forgot, o
did he; and in all the years there was
never a dispute between Conductor
Swan and any Of his dspositors. When
they came back on his train they were
sure OF enough money tor their fare

Three years later, in Chicago, in 19Ob,
Col. Winter overheard Cary Mercer APP
parently planning to kidnap Archie, the
colonel's ward, and to gain possession OF
Aunt Rebeeca Winters millions A MISS
Smith was mentioned apparently as a
conspirator. A great financial agnat
was aboard the train on which Col. WIN
ter met his Aunt Rebecca, Miss Smith
and Archie. Col. Winter learned tnat the
financial magnate is Edwin S. Keatcham.
Winter, aided by Archie, cleverly frus-
trated a hold-up on the train. he TOOK q
great liking to Miss Smith. despite her
alleged kidnapping plot. Archie mysterl-
ously disappeared in Frisco. Blood IN a
nearby room at the hotel caused fears Tor
the boys life. The lads voice was heard
ute later a woman's voice-that or MISS

out for the empty mansion owned py

met with an explosion within. Mercer
appeared. Ha assured Winter that Archle
had returned. The colonel saw a vision
fitting from the supposedly haunted
house. 1t was Miss Janet Smith. Co;
Winter to himself admitted that he Loved
Miss Smith. Mercer told Winter that

CHAPTER XIV.

From Mrs. MeIviIle's Point of View,
! March "a, 1906.-My Dear Husband:
Although | sent you a postal yester-
day, | am writing again to-day to try
to keep you in touch with our extraor-
binary series of events. Nothing has
been heard from Archie except the
letter, the letter-if he wrote (which
tells nothing except that his k~idnapers
use the same kind of writing paper as
Miss Janet Smith. | grow more sus-
picious of her all the time. You ask
(but of course you wrote before the re-
cent mysterious and tragical occur
rences), you ask do | like Miss Smith
any better, now that l am thrown
with her so closely. No, Melville, l
have not the fatal credulity of the
Winters! | distrust her more. She
has, l admit, al engaging personality;
there is a superficial amiability that
would be dangerous to one not on her
guard. But l am never off my guard
with her. I'm sorry to say, however,
that your brother seems deceived by
her plausible ways. And, of course,
our poor aunt is still her blind dupe.
Aunt Rebecca has failed a good deal
this last year; she is quite irritable
with me, sometimes, but she does not
appear to realize the full horror of this
KIDNAPPING. Miss Smith actually seems
to suffer more; she looks pale and bag
gard and has no appetite. l do not
think it all %pretense, either; dare
say much of it is remorse! The situa-
ton is dreadful. Sometimes l think
Aunt Rebecca will not yield to the de-
mands of these wretches who have our
poor boy, and that he will be mutilated
or murdered; sometimes l think that
they have murdered him already and
are writing forged letters to throw us
off the track. You can imagine how
my nerves are shaken! | have een
hardly anything of the city; and of
course have not gone into society at
all. Indeed, 1 have met only one
pleasant person; that was the secre-
tary of the great financier, MI. Edwin
Keatcham, who was here, next to us.
The secretary is a pleasing person

met him here in the court where he
nearly knocked me over; and he apol-
ogized profusely-and really very nice
ly, using my name. That surprised
me, but he explained that they had
been on the train with us. Then l re-
membered him. His name is HOratio
Atkins; and he is very polite. He is

Whose Feet Were Shod with Silence.
Get out your revolver" ordered the
colonel; look sharp! there may be
some one here"
But there was not a sign of life re-
vealed by the search. Meanwhile,
Winter was examining the body. His
first thought was that Keatcham had
tried to escape and had been struck
down in his fight. Kito would not
scruple at such a deed; nor for that
matter, Mercer. But why leave the
mar thus? Why not dispose OF the
body-unless, indeed, the assassins
had been interrupted. Anyhow, what
a horrible mess this murder would
make of the affair! and how was he to
keep the women out of it! All at
once, in the examination which he had
been making (while a dozen gruesome
possibilities tumbled over one another
in his mind he stopped; he put his
ear to the mans heart.

his breath.
