A Talk with Whispering Smith.


When Whispering Smith had fol.
lowed McCloud from the tent, Dicksie
turned to Marion and caught her hand.
is this the terrible man have heard
about?" she murmured. "And
thought him ferocious! But is he as
pitiless as they say, Marion?"
Marion laughed-a troubled little
laugh of surprise and sadness. Dear,
he isn't pitiless at all. He has un-
pleasant things to do, and does them.
He is the man on whom the railroad
relies to repress the lawlessness that
breaks out in the mountains at times
and interferes with the operating of
the road. 1t frightens people away,
end prevents others from coming in
to settle. Railroads want law and
order. Robbery and murders don't
make business for railroads. They de-
pend on settlers for developing a
country, don't you know; otherwise
they would have no traffic, not to
speak of wanting their trains and men
let alone. When Mr.. Bucks under
took to open up this country to set
tiers, he needed a man of patience
! and endurance and with courage and
skill in dealing with law1ess men, and
no man has ever succeeded so we'll as
this terrible man you have heard
about. He is terrible, my dear, to law
less men, not to any one else. He is
terrible in resource and in daring, but
/ not in anything else know of, and l
knew him when he was a boy and
wore a pink worsted scarf when he
went skating"
II should like to have seen that
scarf" said Dicksie, ref1ectively. She
rose and looked around the tent. In
a few minutes she made Marion lie
down on one of the cots. Then she
walked to the front of the tent, opened
the flap, and looked out.
Whispering Smith was sitting be.
fore the fire. Rain was falling, but
Dicksie put on her close-fitting black
coat, raised the door-fap, and walked
noiselessly from the tent and up be.

asked.

and she was conscious of qualification
when he obeyed amiably.
II won't take your box unless you
can find anotber!" she said. "Oh, you
have another! I came out to tell you
what a dreadful man I thought you
were, and to apologize"
Never mind apologizing. Lots Of
people think worse than that Of me
and don't apologize. I'm sorry have
no shelter to offer you, except to SIT

CHAFFEE CASE b
BATTLES POLICE
Both Swindlers In the $4,000 Gold
. Brick Game Have Covered
Tracks

Minneapolis, Oct. 18.-E. w. Char
fee, son OF H. F. Chaffee, of Amen
Ia, the victim of the $4,000 gold
brick swindle perpetrated last Tues
day, returned home last night but
before leaving had long conference
with his father over the telephone
This resulted In the offer Of $1,000
reward for the arrest and conviction
Of either of the swindlers, or $1,000
for the arrest and conviction of both.
With this reward the police hope for
success in rounding up the two men
who carried out the greatest gold
brick swindle on record. At present
the police admit they are baffled and
have no clue whatever on which to
work. Both swindlers have covered
their tracks successfully, and though
the authorities Of the northwest and
the e.\ ire country have been notified,
either directly by the Minneapolis po-
lice department or through the news
papers, they are at sea as to the
whereabouts of the men. Every de-
tective in the Minneapolis police de-
partment has ben assigned to hunt
the men in connection with their
routine duties but each one says all
he knows is that Jimmy Bates is
being sought for as armstrong;,

Expected Big Profits
That Chaffee really believed he was
going to make big profit is the opin-
ion of Alex Stewart, attorney, 70S
METROPOLITAN Life building. Mr..
Stewart says Chaffee visited his Office
at 10 a. m. Wednesday, the day the
bunco game was worked, and in
qlired regarding the mining laws OF
Mexico. Stewart has spent several
years in the southern country and
this fact was known to Chaffee. Il
have known Chaffee casually for
some time," said Stewart today. HE
ttold me Wednesday he had located a
rich claim but that by mistake II
had been registered under the name
of H. Chaffee and we wanted to know
whether this would in any way affect
his rights. / told him If he could
prove his identity it would be all righ1
as such q minor error is of little
consequence.
HE seemed greatly pleased bu
would divulge nothing further con
corning the scheme. Inquiry at tn
ISecurity National bank develops thu
fact that Chaffee got twenty-five
81, 900 bills shortly before 1 p. m
Wednesday.
