The papers reported that the cash
Ter Of the Traders bank was ill in his
apartments at the Knickerbocker-a
condition not surprising, considering
everything. The guilt of the defunct
missing bonds had been advertised
and some of them discovered. In
every instance they had been used as
collateral for large loans, and the
belief was current that not less than
a million and a half dollars had been
realized. Every one connected with
the bank had been placed under ar
rest, and released on heavy bond.
Was he alone in his guilt, or was
the cashier his accomplice? Where
was the money? The estate of the
dead man was comparatively small
a city house on fashionable street,
Sunnyside, a large estate largely
mortgaged, an insurance Of $4,000.
and some personal property-this was
all. The rest lost in speculation prob
ably, the papers said. There was one
thing which looked uncomfortable for
Jack Bailey: He and Paul Armstrong
together had promoted railroad COM
pany in New Mexico, and it was ru-
mored that together they had sunk
large sums of money there. The busi-
ness alliance between the two men
added to the. belief that Bailey knew
something of the looting. His unex-
planned absence from the bank on
Monday lent color to the suspicion
against him. The strange thing
seemed to be his surrendering himself
on the point of departure. To me. 1t
seemed the shrewd calculation of
clever rascal. I was not actively an
tagonistic to Gertrude's lover, but 1
meant to be convinced, one way or the
other. / took no one on faith.
That night the sunnyside ghost be-
gan to walk again. Lddy had been
sleeping in Louise's dressing room on
a couch, and, the approach of dusk
was a signal for her to ebarricade the
entire, suite. Situated AS 1t was, be-
yond the circular staircase. nothing
but an extremity Of excitement would
have made her pass It After dark. I

THE SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has Created Complications
Hard to Do Away With.

1t Is easy to talk about the simple
life and so hard to live it, for life is
not simple any more. It's complica

1t IS the craze for something new
that Is the undoing of simplicity.
Novelty is the Keynote of most of our
lives. Even friendships and matri

microbe Of restlessness.
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise Is so finnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired of them and have
to send them off to The hospital.
And the mother seemed to think
that 1t showed q progressive spirit In

FAMED ST.; 2iNe BOYS OF JENA.
ou3roWth cf &se of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds of years ago the streets
OF Jena and otler German towns used
to echo to lie son9s of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
sin Ing and hcgging aims. Their cx.
ale was flowed by bands of roor
'i',..:. S. ~, as Bacchantes. These
Ea''H"ntcs ;ndcrcd from one uni.
vC.S' y 20 all, her in search of better
instruction or better means of SUP
port. Such wandering life was ia
Vored by the customs of times when
people thought 1t a virtue TO give free
ly to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Racchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skirmishers. who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had TO wait
upon his Raochante, beg, and even
steal for him. and for the most part
he was very tyrannically used. But
as he was waif without other protec-
tion he had To make the best OF mat
ters.
After tlT" reformation in many
places these orphan boys. or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received ray from chu "hes but
also we're assisted by private srb.
scriptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only in the churches. but before
the houses nf their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased TO be bpggars Mar
tin LutE"r himself as boy had been
one Of thP"e singers, and II was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom Of begging entirely passed
away. There Is a famous picture OF
Luther as a singing bcy in Eisenach
where his e"ng attracted tho attention
OF tho god Frau Gotta. who adopted
and edu"Gtcd him.
Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing FROM house to
house Is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German emrire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once eech year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
Of the historic castle Of the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 OF the Jena sing
Ing boys. five each OF the ages OF - .
12. 13 and IA years. They are
phans, and the only qualifications for
the privilege Of four years board and
schooling arc good character, ahlii
