man at last, to regain the respect you
had flung away so shamefully, you did
not realize it, you could not realize it;
you took it as a matter Of course, as
though l had handed you a cigar. 1
ask you now, here in this place, where
l am known n respected ask you
here. where l have toiled with my
hands, whether you forget why 1 I'M
here?'
Il must have my money; Patricia
must make the division" replied Hen
ry, doggedly.
Certainly! Certainly! l devoutly
hope she will give it to you; you need
fear no interference from me. The
sooner o get it and fling it away the
better. Patricia has been animated by
the best motives in withholding it;
she regarded it as a sacred trust to adj
minister for your own good, but now |
want you to have your money"
eff 1 can nave my share, if you will
persuade her to give it, 1 will pay you
all I owe you" Henry began, eagerly.
What you W me-what you owe
me-" and Arthur bent toward his
brother and laughed-a laugh that was
not good to hear You would give me
money-money-you would pay me
money for priceless things!"
He broke off suddenly, dropping his
arms at his sides helplessly.
There is no use in trying to talk
to you; we use a different vocabulary,
Henry"
But that trouble with Gillespie-if
Patricia knew"
Yes; if she knew the truth! And
you never understood, you are incap-
able of understanding, that it meant
something to me to lose my sister out
of my life. When Helen died"-and
his voice fell and he paused for a mo-
ment, as a priest falters sometimes,
gripped by some phrase in the office
that touches hidden depths in his w
experience, then when Helen died
there was still Patricia, the nOblest
sister men ever had; but you robbed
me of her-you robbed me of herr"
He was deeply moved and, as he
controlled himself, he walked to the
little table and fingered the ribbons of
the work-basket.
Il haven't those notes, if that's what
you're after-I lever had Them he
said. "Gillespie kept tight hold of
them"
Yes; the vindictive old DEVIL"
Men who have been swindled are
usually vindictive." replied Arthur.
grimly. "Gillespie is dead. l suppose
the executor of his estate has those
papers; and the executor is his SON.
The fool I've never been able to
get anything out of him."
IF he's a fool it ought to be all the
easier to get your pretty playthings
away from him. Old Gillespie really
acted pretty decently about the whole
business. Your daughter may be able
to get them way from the boy; he's
infatuated with her; he wants to mar
ry her, it seems"
My daughter is not in this matter,
said Henry, coldly, and then anger mas
tered him again. 81 don't believe he
has them; you have them, and that's
why l have followed you here. I'm go

You seem rather sure of yourself"
sneered the older, turning uneasily in
his chair.
Il am altogether sure of myself. l
have beer a fool, but | see the error
matters with you now and here. You
have got to drop you game of annoy
ing Patricia; you've got to stop using
your own daughter as a spy"
You lie, you lie!" roared the other,
leaping to his feet. You cannot in
sinuate that my daughter is not act
ing honorably TOWARD Patricia"
My mind had slowly begun to grasp
the situation and to identify the men
before me. Holbrook, alias Hartridge,
the boat-maker of the TippecanOe, was
not Henry HolbrOok, but Henry's
brother, Arthur! and l sought at once
to recollect what l knew of him. An
instant before | had half turned to
go, ashamed of eaVesdropping upon
matters that did not concern me; but
the Voice that had sent me held to
the window. 1t vas some such meet
ing as this that Helen must have
feared when she SEN me to the house
boat, and everything else must await
the issue of this meeting.
You had better sit down, Henry"
said Arthur Holbrook, quietly. And
l suggest that you make less noise.
This is a lonely place. but there are
human beings within a hundred
miles"
Henry Holbrook paced the floor a
moment and then flung himself into
a chair again, but he bent forward
angriIy. ~nervously beating his hands
together. @Arthur went on speaking,
his voice shaking with passion.
Il want to say to you that you have
de~teriorated until you are a common
damned b~lackguard, Henry HolbrOok!
You are a blackguard and a gambler.
And you have made murderOus at
tempts OF the life of your sister; you
drove her from Stamford and you
tried to smash her o a out here in
the lake. l saw the whole transaction
that afternoon, and understood it all
how you hung off there in h Stilet-
to and sent that beast to do your dirty
work"
Il didn't follow her here; l didn't
follow her here!" ragged the other.
No; but you watched and waited
until you traced me here. You we're
not satisfied with what l had done for
you. o. wanted to kill me before l
could tell Pat the truth; and if it
hadn't been for that man Donovan
your assassin would have stabbed me
at my door" Arthur Holbrook rose
and flung down his pipe so that the
Goals leaped from it. But it's all over
now-this long exile of mine, this pur-
suit of Pat, this hideous use of your
daughter to pluck your chestnuts from
the fire. By God, you've got to quit
you've got to co."
But l want my money! want my
money!" roared Henry. as though in
sisting upon a right; but Arthur ig-
nored him, and went on.
You were the one who was strong;
and great things were expected of
you, to add to the traditions Of family

BUCKET SHOPS
 CUT OFF BY WESTERN UNION
Company Orders Telegraph Loops Taken From Suspected Offices Throughout Country

New York, July S.-The Western Un- ion Telegraph Company has decided to go out of the business of serving bucket shops with telegraphic infor- nation, and it is expected that the re- suit will be the suppression of the en- tire bucket shop industry.
 The first practical move to put the new policy into effect was made yes terday, when bucket shop connections were cut out in many upstate cities. In each instance when the subscribers found they could not do business over the Western Union wires they made complaints. The answer made to them by the local managers was that they were acting upon instructions from headquarters. which left them no al- formative.
 In some cases brokerage offices that had never been known as bucket shops found themselves shut out.
 The move was conceded in business circles to be of vast importance. as, besides ending the bucket shop busi- ness, it will make a difference of many thousands of dollars year in the Western Unions income.
 What considerations moved your board of directors to act on the bucket shop matter after so many years or discussion upon it?" President Clowry of the Western Union was asked at his home in Tarrytown last night.
 Have you followed the stir the Grand Jury has been making down in Washington? he replied. If you have, you will not need to ask. You will know about all we know"
 But" it was suggested, you have been quoted repeatedly as saying that the Western Union never had any bucketshop connections that you knew of."
 sswen," he replied. i've never espe- cialy looked into the business trans acted by our subscribers until this matter was specifically brought up. But that is a matter on which you will have to consult our attorneys. They will tell you all that the com pany wishes to give out. l cannot talk about it.''
 At the companys offices. 195 Broad way, it was said that the order to cut out certain wire connection was issued pursuant to the present policy of the company.
 Belvedere Brooks. the new general manager, who took charge soon after the consolidation of the Western Un- ion with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, issued an order to discontinue the bucket-shop quota tions
 The governments fight on bucket shops brought the Western Union Company into the linelight on several occasions recently when its wires were found in raided shops and indictments were reported by the Grand Jury.
 '"The government has succeeded at last in doing what Jacob Schiff and few other directors of the Western Un- iCn have been trying to do for years" said a Wall Street broker in discuss ing the telegraph company's action. 'If the directors had moved upon the advice of MT. Schiff it would not have been necessary for the government to take such drastic action to bring the result about"

Body Identified,

The body found beside the c. N. E. track near West Norfolk Tuesday morning was identified Wednesday as that of John H. Bannahan, of late a resident of Winsted. Bannahan spent the Fourth with his mother in Canaan and left that place for the purpose of returning to Winsted on the night freight. It is supposed that he fell from the train which passed over his body.
 Sustained Severe Shock.
 While at work on a pole on the Litchfeld road Thursday Thomas Mc- Enroe, Norfolk superintendent of the Berkshire Power Company, sustained a severe shock, 2,30O volts passing through his body as a result of a contact between pair of uninsulated pliers and the main current Mr. Mo Enroe was rendered unconscious and severely burned about the hands.
 Opposition to Oiling.
 The sprinkling of the highways with oil is being tried at Salisbury, and while the plan has adherents, it also finds qquite a number opposed. The opposition, for the most part, is based on the fact that where particles of earth have thus been oiled, fly up and lodge on the clothing, it leaves a grease spot. It is also tracked into houses and the housewife complains or SOlleO carpets. EE6n the cats and dogs come in with their feet oil lad ened and leave dirt after them.
 Sneak Thief's Work.
 A sneak thief has been operating around Canaan and the vicinity for a week. He entered the home of Will liam Waller on the East Canaan road, in the absence of MT. Waller and stole S32 in cash. The next day the house of Benjamin Consalletti was entered and robbed of s147. An Italian liv- ing near East Canaan, had $15 laid away in a trunk at his home. There was a girl in the house sick in bed when the sneak thief entered and pro- ceeded to rob the trunk. The sick girl saw the operation, but was pow erless to prevent it. The thief stole the $15 and as he was about to leave, a woman came to the house and sought to enter. Her hand had grasp ed the inside of the door, when the thief spied her and kicked her on the fingers, injuring her painfully. He then made his escape.

In the August number of the Crafts man., it's editor advocates the organi- zation of a new political party from ''the progressive elements that have attained such prominence in both the old ones" For it's leader. the writer names Ex-President Roosevelt. and adds:
 That the politicians and the Wall Street interests regard this as a very present menace is shown by their frenzied assertions that insurgency is waning. that public sentiment regard ing any particular question lasts only until it finds a now toy to play with and that MT. Roosevelt is coming back to meet his Waterloo.
 Perhaps such a move might, under MT. Roosevelt's leadership. attain con- siderable momentum, but that it could carry the next Presidential election, we very much doubt. A better plan is for Republican progressives to CO., operate with the Democratic party which is equally ardent for reform, and for the busting of the domination of wealth from governmental affairs.

Some time ago, the Farmer pub lished statement of the method by which flour is bleached, and expressed a belief that the process must be deli terious to health. A jury at Kansas City has now decided that bleached flour is adulterated, under the pure food and drug law. Nitrogen peroxide is the chemical used in the process which was practically on trial. The bleaching process gives the flour a better appearance. and it is intimated that an inferior wheat can be used. with the visible results equal to those of flour made from the best grades of wheat.

'I am not a candidate for any of flee" says MT. Bryan. Perhaps this means that he disapproves the plan, initiated few weeks ago. to elect him to the Senate. If so, it is to be re- gretted. MT. Bryan would, as a Sen ator, have abundant opportunities to plead the causes with which his name has long been associated. If Elk President Roosevelt could also become a Senator. the situation in the Senate would be greatly improved. The poli- cies of the two men are quite similar in some important matters. They would make strong team when pull ing together, and interesting debaters when clashing.

The death penalty for kidnappers is likely to be enacted in Louisiana, one branch of the Legislature having passed a bill of such effect. and the other being expected to take similar action. It is not too severe a penalty. There is no crime of greater heinous- ness than the abduction of a child. with a threat of murder in case of the non-payment of ransom, and there are growing conditions which threaten an increase in the number of child abGuctions.

EASY MONEY FOR
 ATTY. GREENSTEIN

Judge Foster of the City court today allowed Prosecuting Liquor Agent Henry GreenStein the full amount he claimed for his services in connection rested but not prosecuted in the police raids upon the North End Gun Club and the Cedar Creek Yacht Club.
 Clerk George BurneS of the City court promptly drew a check for $26O in favor of Attorney Greenstein.
 The raids upon the two clubs were made by the police on warrants given them to serve by Prosecutor Green- stein. The proprietors are still await ing trial. the question in dispute being that as stewards of the two clubs they had a right to dispense liquor to mem bers.
 Unable to prove that the clubs were regularly connected with saloons in close proximity Greenstein asked that the cases of the alleged frequenters be nolled. It is customary to nolle such cases in the City court where the 1i- QUOT raids are made upon places not licensed to sell. Where the places are licensed. all found in the place except the bartenders are held. Bartenders are generally excepted.
 Judge Foster looked into the law before passing upon the amount of fees he should allow the prosecutor, in view of their being nolled Green stein claimed the court could do only two things, either refuse to sign a certificate that the prosecutions were begun in good faith, or allow the full amount, $10 for every case. The court agreed with this interpretation of the law.
 When convictions are secured the s10 fee for the prosecutor is taxed up against the offender. But where con- victions are not secured. the city has to pay for the prosecution. The s26G
