operators paused as his ship drew
near, the stock market itself marked
time, and the industrial world turned
its eyes seaward, as it were, eager for
a glimpse of the fate of che man whose

Hartman did not leave the steamer
until the vessel had docked at Hobo

he boarded Southern Pacific tug

he was again assisted to his private
car. From there the trip was quickly
made up the Hudson to his mountain
home at Arden.
In his car he met a score of newspa-

couch spoke of his treatment at the
sanitarium abroad, how photographs
of his digestive organs were taken
and how he lost ten pounds in weight
under the treatment. This ten pounds
