WHY EMBEZZLEMENTS ARE
FEWER TODAY THAN EVER

Even If he hates his wife, that Nd1l
pull him back
And so the shadows come TO liie.
They haunt the house in which the
wife and the baby live. They do not
worry. They do not inquire what the
national branches of the detective
agency are doing, for they do not care
much. They know that sooner or later
the memory OF that child will call
the quarry back, for just one moment
with It, just one kiss. And when that
time comes they will be ready and
waiting to catch him.
He wonders if the small picture
theater he so carefully built up is
making money, if his wife and child
are living well from the income.
Conscience enters the scene. The
thought of retribution comes strong
upon him. He feels alone in the world.
If he is married, he finds himself won.
dering day after day and night after
night what the wife and child are do
ing, whether they have enough to
live on, what they think of him. The
idea, slowly growing at first, consumes
him. He longs to see his life compan-
ion once again, to talk TO her, to hear
encouragement from her lips. He won.
ders if she has condemned him, wheth-
er she could forgive him He pictures
the child playing on the floor with
it's toys, unknowing of the fact that
the absence of his father is due to
criminality. Long he fights against
the temptation, long he struggles
and then the tie of blood, stronger
than all fear, begins to pull him back
He must see that wife! He must SEE
that child!

It's the Example That Counts.


The dedication may amount to $50
The chase may begin in Chicago, eX-
tend to San Francisco, into Mexico,
thence to South America, across a
continent to Rio Janeiro, on to New
Orleans, to Kansas City, thence to New
York, up into Manitoba, back to Buff
falo, to New York again, then London,
Paris, Madrid, st. Petersburg-it
makes no difference. The loss was
$50. The chase may cost $4,000. But
in the end the man will be caught.
As rule the chase does not go far
according to officers of various surety
companies of Chicago. The man who
embezzles, who steals because the
money seems easy to get, is not a born
criminal, used to the ways and ricks
and foils of the criminal world. He
know not the wiles of the paid
catchers of men nor how to guard
against them. And in nine cases out
of ten Eeiore he even gets a chance
to board the train that is to carry him
away he is under arrest.
And when all other means of catch
ing the thief fail there is one which
misses fire only about once in a hun
dred times
That means is the tie of blood, the
tie that will pull a man back across
oceans and from out of the deepest
hiding places of the earth, The cry
of child has called more men back
from apparent safety to a life in pri
son than any other medium that is
known to the surety companies. The
tear of a lonely wife has sent more
embezzlers over the long road and
into the big house on the river than
all the Sherlocks who ever Travelled
the pages of fiction. The embezzlers
and bonded men who turn thief do mo-
know this But the bonding compan
les do, and they profit by it,

Chicago Bonding EXpertl

NNul'hhb lhbANlllh lfNlN''''
For the man who is bonded there are
a hundred eyes TO watch No matter
which way he may turn, he must feel
that there is some one who has him
under vigilance. lie may steal for
awhile and be safe in IT, But that time
will not last long. Soon will come the
accounting, and then
The surety company of today takes
no chances It must be absolutely
sure that the man for whom it stands
good does not place it in a position
to lose money. And to save money
that surety company will spend thou
sands Of dollars.
The burglar may break into a house,
steal the family jewels, and unless the
family itself spends money on private
detectives the search will end when
the robber leaves the city. He may
be caught at some time in the future
by accident He may not He may
even remain in the city and steal from
other houses and still be safe. The
confidence man may work his schemes
and get away. The ordinary holdup
man may be successful The police
department admits that it is not in
fallible and that now and then crimi-
nails elude it. But in the code book of
the surety company there is one
great rule which blazons forth the
order:
NO one must escape. No matter
what the defalcation or the shortage,
! whether It be five cents or five dollars
o. five thousand dollars, the refugee
must be caught. No matter what the
COST he must be brought back, from
Africa, if necessary. Spend thousands,
tens of thousands, chase man around
the globe and back again, but do not
let him escaped"
Four agencies are constantly ready
to track his every step. First of all
there is the employer, who by the
terms of the bond must see to the
auditing Of his accounts and be re
sponsible for the reporting of the frs
sign that he is doing anything out o
the way. Ii the information comes
that the bonded man is spending more
money than he should, then come
the time when the second agency o
guardianship springs into active life
There is 4 telephone call to the gene

Old Longing Pulls Him Back.


And in the meantime the man was
what was going on at the
little theater, whether business was
as good as it had been when he was
there, and whether everything was
along in the same old way.
He longed to hear the sound of the
orches ira again, to meet the bicker-
ing persons who desired their seats
changed and who would ask a thou
sand questions as to what they we're
to see and how they would see it. He
tried working in another place, but
that did not satisfy him. Gradually
he allowed his old longing to pull him.
back, and one night the watching de-
tectives saw familiar looking per-
son enter the lobby of the theater.
He seemed to walk steathily, watch
ing to see that the manager was not
in sight and to assure himself that the
box office man was one who did not
know him. Hurriedly ne approached
the window and asked for a ticket.
AS he received the piece of pasteboard
hand touched him on the shoulder.
You're wanted-at the station"
came a voice, and the man was under
arrest
But the tie of blood is the one which
pulls the runaways back more often
than anything else. Such was the
case with a county treasurer of Iowa
who had been bonded by a Chicago
firm for more than 100000 He had
stolen $4,000 and departed, leaving
a wife and child at home.
AS soon as the bonding company
heard the report the detectives started
but they were late on the trail.
They went to Honduras. They shad.
owed him. They watched his every
action and they saw his every letter
They knew that his heart YVES aching
to see those whom he had left at
home. They felt that some time that
longing would become so great that he
would leave Honduras and seek to
return to his own home that he might
see his wife and child, if only for a
few moments, And they were right,
But months went by before that time
came, months in which the mans
face showed the effect of the mental
struggle that was in progress and the
lines of his forehead deepened and
furrowed Still the dogs of the law
hung grimly on, notifying their offices
of every move he made and every
symptom that showed his resolution
to stay away was weakening. At last
he came.
One day there flashed over the wires
this message:
81. A. T. sails. Steamship Oceania."
Detectives missed him at the port
of the ship, for he had left it in the
night and swan ashore. They missed
him in the city, for he had become
tramp and lived in the part of town
where derelicts drift to and fro and
where identification is hard. They
missed him here and there, but they
did not seem to mind. They knew
where the big trap waited, baited and
ready to spring They knew where
he would finally walk into the meshes
and they were right.
A crouching figure skunk into the
front yard of the embezzler's lowe
home one night and hurried silently
to a window to look in. There was
, muffed signal, a start for the porch
1t was all over. The detectives were
there, They had their man and the
search was ended.

THE LIVE GOAT At
LODGE ATE TROUSERS
Sentinel Special Service.


Eaton, Colo. Feb. 9.-An extraor-
dinary devotion to realism in lodge
work was the direct cause of a pain
ful predicament into which Justice
of the Peace w. B. Longworth got
himself at an early hour this morn
ing.
The Judge belongs to fourteen
lodges and is an officer in thirteen
of them. which may account for his
bad luck. Last night he attended an
initiation. at which, at his urgent
request, live goat was brought into
play for the benefit of the candidate.
When the judge left the hall he
took the goat. which he had barrow
ed, togeter with tablecloth his wife
had loaned, and Went to his store
As it was late, he decided to sleep in
the store, and tied the goat to show
case for safe keeping When the
Judge arose this morning he found
that the goat had made a hearty
breakfast OF his trousers. Unwilling
to awaken his better half to let her
know of his predicament, he decided
to use the tablecloth, and attired in
that and a long tailed coat. started
for home shortly after daylight.
All went well till he reached his
own gate. There, due TO his haste to
reach the front door, the tablecloth
split, and he got inside the house
barely in time to avert a scandal.

DID RAILWAY KING
FAIL To MAKE WILL?
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
New York. Feb. - Apprehen-
sions are rapidly growing among the
financial associates of the late Ed
win Hawley that the railroad finan-
cier may have died intestate. No
will of his has been found. His
counsel have been able to make no
definite statement on the subject.
1t is pointed out that it rarely oc-
ours that man of large fortune dies
without making a will. In such a
case, however. the appointment of an
administrator to care for his estate
carries its own difficulties. Accord
ing to Wallace 5. Fraser, deputy
state comptroller, the laws of this
state exact that an administrator ap-
pointed by the courts give bonds
amounting to twice the value of the
estate
Should Mr.. Hawley's fortune will
amount to SIS. 100000 or 100000
000, his administrator, if no will be
came evident, would have to give
bonds of $4,000. .O0O to $4,000, 900
1t is said that the combined surety
companies of this city could scacely
provide for bond of such propo-
items, since they are limited to a GER
tain percentage of their assets.
Mr., Fraser said that the testator
leaving large estate as rule eth
er waived the giving of a bond by the
executors or administrator or placed
1T at limited amount. In the case
of no will the nearest relatives of the
testator would agree upon an admin
istrator and apply to the courts for
his appointment.
What appears to be worrying many
Wall street interests II the matter OF
the Hawley estate is that should the
bond be prohibitive in amount for an
individual, the courts would be com
PEELED to appoint a trust company to
manage the estate
Since so many of the financial in
lstitutions in the district are controll-
ed by only one or two banking groups
il feared lest the management OF
many of the Hawley properties will
come into control of interests whicl
would be in a position to Absorb
them or manage them in a fashion
contrary to the plans of the former
associates of the railroad ifnancier

ment schemes that have been agreed
