 I'm Hinton he cried, of the Blank National bank. I've been robbed Robbed!
 And just as the story was within my grasp, the chief pushed me out of the office and closed the door on me. When got in again. he was as clam like as Cedar river bivalve. There was absolutely nothing doing with him. The only alternative was the bank. In the excitement, I had con fused the name of HInton's bank with the one over which Melville Stone pre- sided as president, the names being similar. With the assurance of a coun. try reporter, l hurried down to the Stone bank It was just closing time. X scrublady intercepted my bounding steps and l asked her if the president vas in.

 "'All right agreed, but Van told me to have you put him next to the story. so he wouldn't be working in the dark'
 Then Stone opened his heart and told me what was doing It seems hat Hinchmeyer. a German, had come 10 this country with an invention of great merit.

That gentleman. suddenly making up his mind that in Rome he should do as the Romans do, printed several notes to which he forged the name of prominent manufacturing firm. Then he worked some newspa. per to print story to the effect that he had sold his wonderful patent to them for s100,000 HlDchmeyer took these notes to four banks and dis posed of them for about $S0,000 He had valued his patent at s100,000, and to get even he bought fine house on the South side. forged a deed and mortgaged the property to five differ ent people With the full $100,000, he left the country before the banks dis. covered they were holding the sack The Stone and Hinton banks were smong the two victimized And incl dentally they never caught Hinoh- meyer

many old soldiers are stationed at Fort Myer,
men who have enlisted and re-enlsted until
the sleeves of their dress coats pretty we'll
covered with the stripes marking their years
of service These old soldiers tell many stories
of the old days when the army life was not as
pleasant as it is to-day and when the recruits
lot was far from a happy one. In those old
days assertions were many and some of the
stories which the veteran regulars tell to-day
of the time when they were recruits lets one
know readily enough why some men under the
old conditions did not care to follow the flag.
Here is one story of recruit life in the army
20 years ago that is rewritten with changes
of fact and with only little change of Ian
guage from the way that an old soldier told it:
I'm the winter of 1883 was stationed at
David's island, New York harbor a recruiting
rendezvous of the army. There were about
500 newly enlisted ones stationed there at that
time. The island is little affair lying fairly
low in the water and without any protection
from the storms which blow in from the east
through Long Island sound
January and February, 1888, were months
OF sunshine and flowers were peeping on The
sunny side of things before anyone could guess
whether March was to roar in like the lion or
70 bleat like the lamb. Early in the second
week of that March month New York was over
whelmed by a tempest of wind and snow. 1t
was in that storm that Roscoe Conkling met
with the exposure which caused the illness
leading to his death in few days 1t the
worst storm known to the history of the east
ern country The New Workers. however, did
not experience its full fury, for their buildings
gave them shelter
"It was left for few recruits of the United
States army the men on guard, to bear the
brunt of the blizzard and to face the elements
that gave them battle. On the night of March
II the storm broke. At nine o'clock the sky
over the sound was unclouded, and there was
not a whisper of wind over the water. Within
ten minutes the black clouds had banked up.
and in another ten minutes they were shaking

a few moments after midnight stepped from
the doorway of the guardhouse and was swept
from his feet by the wind. He saw what ter
rible night was ahead OF us, had already come

Then the order was given to secure arms and

Into the teeth of the tempest we edged our
way. Twice within so yards of the guard

place known to them, there to wait until II
was time to go under cover to the depot to
take a train which made no stop for many
miles beyond the place of boarding.
About an hour before the train was due the
recruit told the deserters that he had weak

to take his medicine" They offered no OBJ
lection and their companion started for the
shore while they took back road to the de-
pot.
The recruit had soldier-making stun in him.
He had been maturing plan all the time that
he had been in the saloon. The deserters once

a cavalry pace for hamlet few miles east

depot to which the deserers had gone because
he feared that they would see him and, suspect
ing his motive, would take to the woods.
At the little village to which he had gone
headlong on his horse, he secured the services
of a constable readily enough-for there was
a reward for the arrest of deserters-and by
telling his story and by threatening the station

prisoners over to him with instructions to

winter, and for the first time In years the
channel between David's island and the town
of New Rochelle was frozen over.
The recruit plodded along after his prisoners,
but, being green to such work he kept close at
their heels instead of trailing along at dis
lance of FIVE PAGES eos he should have done.
Guard and prisoners reached point near the
shore directly In the rear Of the commanding

school Fund and Miil Tax

The school population of Maine, accord
ing to complete returns at the Office OF the
State superin ,endent, is FL, 335, gain o.
1,6sS over 1908. The apportionment of the
school and mill fund is now being COM
pieted in the office Of the State treasurer
In spite of the increase in the school
population there will also be a consider
able increase in the amount to be appor.
toned to the towns by reason OF the in
crease in valuation of the State.
The amount to be apportioned per
pupil will be little less than Sl.l0, an
increase of about II cents per pupil over
last year. The first apportionment under
the provisions of the common school fund
act passed by the last legislature will not
be made until July, 1910. The mill fund
will be made up at that time on the basis
Of three mills on the valuation OF the State
rather than one-and-a-hal mills, as at
present.
