of the strange men he had seen. He
showed me the fall which he had pre-

We went through narrow cutting
in the solid rock, the torches casting
weird and fantastic shadows about us,
and presently came to a natural cav
ern. high pitched and of considerable
size. A fire was burning in the cen
ter, the smoke, after thickening the
atmosphere, finding its way out
through a cleft in the roof. and an
iron pot was on the fire, strong.
meaty smell coming from it, which,
being hungry. did not find unpleas-
ant.
The ground Of the cave was Of loose
soil, and my companions threw them
selves down round the fire. Organ
motioned me to do the same. It was
the most primitive meal had ever
assisted at, but have rarely enjoyed
one SO much. "
+ They were wild looking crew, not
excepting Captain Organ. They We're
powerful men, big limbed. with shaggy
dark hair and mustaches, not i'll look
ing and rather picturesque than other
wise. They wore somewhat tight meth
err garments and rough. easy fitting
leather shirt reaching nearly to the
knees, but cut up at the thighs to give
perfect freedom to the legs. Over this
they wore coat Of mail, compromise
between plate and chain armor, and
long boots Of stiff hide, into the heels
an inch long. A low steel helmet fit
ting close on to the head completed
their attire. For arms each man car
ried long serviceable looking sword,
which hung from broad belt fastened
loosely round the waist. Except that
his armor was brighter and that he
had a short feather at the side Of his
helmet, Captain Organ did not differ
from his comrades. 49,.
During the meal l was considerably
surprised to find that 1 could under
stand my companions conversation.
Organ when speaking to me spoke in
English. or, rather, Irish, with a
brogue, especially when he got excited,
which I shall make no attempt to re-
produce in these pages. When talking
to his men he spoke in their language.

with a general groundwork Of Norman

were represented, and, although there
were words here and there which I
could attach no meaning to, being a
good lingust, could understand most
of what was said, and if at first was
not so easily understood soon man
aged to talk pretty freely.
The meal ended, Organ kicked the
fire into blaze.
'The history Of your strange coming
among us should be interesting" he
said.

themselves when had finished.
'I'n take my oath didn't come that
way" the captain said.
(Which way. then?" l asked.
I'D like to know. We certainly
started up mountain path, but be-
fore we had gone far they blindfolded
us, and then we went down, where
can't say, but it was somewhere near
to roaring water"
"And how long have you been here?'
IT don't know. Time is not of much
consequence in this country"
"What did you come for?"

"There must be way out" said.

roadway against which the winds had

cago National bank and its allied in
situations.
President Taft late yesterday de-
MED the petitions for pardon for
Walsh or a Communication of his SEN
tence which were signed by thous-
ands of personal friends and bust
ness associates of the former banker
and railroad promoter. The presi-
dent decided that the character of
the financial crimes committed by
Walsh absolutely preclude an extern
sion of executive clemency.
PAROLE IN FALL.
Walsh will be compelled to stay
in the prison until September at
least, when he will be eligible to
parole.
At the same time the president de-
MED the appeals for clemency of
Charles W. Morse, the New York,
ice king" and banker, who is serv-
ing a 8 year sentence in the Atlanta,
Ga federal penitentiary for viola
ton of the banking laws.
REASONS FOR REFUSING.
The president gave these reasons
for refusing the appeal in behalf of
Walsh. summarized las follows:
Walsh was guilty of gross moral
turpitude in the handling of other
peoples money and violated the
banking laws in a manner which
none of the excuses urged in his be-
half can palliate.
The claim that no one lost money
as a result of his conduct is belied
by the fact that in the liquidation
of his institutions the Chicago banks
suffered a substantial loss.
He imperiled the money of his
stockholders and depositors in specu-
Iation and his guilt is in proportion
to the trust and confidence extended
TO him"
EFFECT CONSIDERED.
The Importance of emphasizing
the distinction between honest bust
ness and dishonest breaches OF trust
in this country makes imperative Sc
we're punishment Of the dishonest and
reckless bank officers.
The crimes of Walsh were the
more fragrant because of his high po-
sition in the community and the ex-
ercise of clemency toward him would
present a demoralizing contrast to
the treatment of the ordinary GRIM
inal.
The physical condition of Walsh
is not alarming.
MORSE WORSE THAN WALSH.
The president said that Morse was
guilty of the same offense against
the banking laws as was Walsh.
Morse" he says, exhibited the
same fraudulent and criminal disre-
gard of the trust imposed upon him
in the exercise of the bank as Walsh
did"
President Taft quotes the report
of Attorney General Wickersham
that Morse was extremely cunning in
evading the law and heartless as to
the consequences to others. The
