Bank Clerks That Can't Be Deceived
by Names on Checks.
A number Of the larger banking in
stitutions employ from one to half a
dozen men whose sole duty is to e1-
anime every check that comes In
through the clearing house and vouch
for the genuineness Of the signatures.
To the ordinary citizen 1t seems
nothing short Of marvellous that n
signature clerk will instantly recog.
nize the slightest alteration In a sig
nature, with thousands Of checks pass
Ing through his hands each day, many
of them drawn by depositOrs who sign
but q few checks in the course Of Il
year, but al expert signature clerk
can carry In his mind accurate pho
tographs Of 5000 or more signatures
and rarely has to refer to the signature
book. When not engaged with the in
coming checks the signature expert
spends his time In familiarizing him
self with the signatures OF new Gus
toners. There Is no room for un-
certainty in his business. for II he
passes a bogus draft 1t will mean n
bad mark against him when promo
tions are In order. and to refuse pay.
ment on genuine check means q very
wrathful customer.
The signature clerk Is also required
to see that no checks are post dated
and to look for checks on which pay
ment has been stopped.
In proportion to the number OF
checks paid by large bunk every
business day the smallness Of the num-
Der Of bad oues that slip through Is
nothing short of marvelous.-Harpers

Il Takes Quick Thinking Players to
Make q Successful Team.
The greatest difficulty In building up
ball teams In this day. when the game
has become business rs well as q
sport, Is In securing what We know US
thinking ball players" There are any
number Of ball players in the minor
leagues who have natural physical
ability. but 1t is very rarely possible
to secure men who have that peculiar
faculty Of being able to think apd act
simultaneously.
1t Is no reflection on ball players
general intelligence to say that he
hasn't that quality. I know scores OF
players who are men Of unusual in
tellect, but who are lacking In that
ability to think and act at the same
time. Give them a few minutes to
consider a problem. and they will ar
rive at conclusion that Is quite log
ical, but baseball games are not won
on logic. The plays that win are usu-
ally the result Of impulse. 1t Is In
stinct with some ball players to make
the proper play at the proper time.
It would be possible to count on the
fingers of the two hands the men In
the league who are 'quick thinking
ball players" The team that Is bless
cd with a majority Of that class OF
players is the one that usually wins
the championship. A team must have
Ut least two thinking ball players to be
a contender. and II It has four the
championship Is In sight.-John J. Nc.

his cabin. Two hundred yards beyond
this tree had fallen on the edge of
the trail, and. seating herself on 1t,
Meleese motioned for him to sit down
beside her. Howland's back was to
the thick bushes behind them. He
looked at the girl. but she had turned
away her face. Suddenly she sprang
from the log and stood In front Of
him.
Now" she cried: "now!' And at
that signal Howland's arms were seiz-
ed from behind. and in another instant
he was struggling feebly in the grip Of
powerful arms which had fastened
themselves about him like wire cable,
and the cry that rose to his lips was
throttled by hand over his mouth.
For an instant he caught glimpse Of
the girls white face as she stood In
the trail; then strong hands pulled him
back, while others bound his wrists
and still others held his legs. Every
thing had passed In few seconds.
Helplessly bound and gagged. he lay on
his back in the snow. listening to the
low voices that came family to him
from beyond the bushes. He could
understand nothing that they said. and
yet he was sure that he recognized
among them the voice Of Meleese.
The voices became fainter. He
heard retreating footsteps. and at last
they died away entirely.
In these moments that he lay on his
back in the freezing snow a million de-
mons were born in his blood. The girl
had betrayed him again. This time ne
could find no excuse-no pardon for
her. She had accepted his love, had
allowed him to kiss her. to hold her In

Hoo-la, Woongaw he called softly to
his lead dog. "Get up there. you wolf

AS the sledge started, with Croisset
running close to the leader, Rowland
heard the low swapping Of a whip be-
hind him and another voice urging on
other dogs. With an effort that almost
dislocated his neck he twisted himself
so he could look back to him. A hun
dred yards away he discerned second
team following in his trail; he saw
shadowy figure running at the head OF
the dogs, but what there was on the
sledge, or what 1t meant, he could not
see or surmise. Mile after mile the two
sledges continued without a stop.
Croisset did not turn his head: no word
fell from his lips. except an occasional
signal to the dogs. The trail had
turned now straight into the north. and
soon Rowland could make out no
sign of 1t, but knew only that they
were twisting through the most open
places in the forests. and that the
play Of the polar lights was never over
his left shoulder or his right. but al
ways in his face.
They had travelled for several hours
when Croisset gave sudden shrill
shout to the rearmost sledge and halt
ed his own. The dogs fell in painting
group on the snow, and while they
were resting the half breed relieved his
prisoner Of the soft buckskin that had
been used as gag.
"It will be perfectly safe for you to
talk now, m'seur. and to shout as loud
ly as you please" he said. After l
have looked into your pockets will
free your hands so that you can smoke.
Are you comfortable"
"Comfortable-be cursed" were the
first words that fell from Howland's
lips, and his blood boiled at the soci-
able way in which Croisset grinned
down into his face. $50 you're In 1t.

"Yes."
Croisset leaned down with his black
eyes cleaning like Goals.
"Do you know what l would do II
was her, m'seur?" he said in low
voice and yet one filled with n threat
which stilled the words Of passion
which the engineer was on the point OF
uttering. "Do you know what would
do? would kill you-kill you inch by
inch-torture you. That Is what l
would do"
"For Gods sake. Croisset. tell me
why-why"-
Croisset had found Howlands pistol
and freed his hands. and the engineer
stretched them out entreatingly.
