John Gately the we'll known
merchant died February 2, at IL O..
clock at his north shore residence
Chicago. His death was due to Brights
disease. He had been confined to the
house for the past several months
with two nurses in constant attend
ance. His immediate family has known
for over year that his ultimate re.
covery was hopeless.
For the past five years he has been
only partially active in the conduct OF
his business, turning over the many
details to his nephew Fred E. Harwood
as his personal representative, and
the general managers Of the various
Gately corporations Of which he was
the head.
John Gately was the youngest son
Of three Gately brothers, Michael R..
Edward and John, Michael R. the
elder being the originator Of the
Gately syndicate of stores now operat-
ing in lis cities in the east, middle
and far west. The business was es-
tablished in Boston in 1870, this be-
ing the present store and headquart-
ers for the eastern Gately stores. In
April 1883 John Gately came to Chi
cago and opened up the first store in
the middle west, making Chicago the
headquarters for the Gately stores
in the middle and far west.
John Gately was born in Dorchester.
Mass, January 3rd, 1857, was educat-
ed at Athol high school, Willeston
Seminary and Boston University and
was a gradute Of the Harvard law
school, was admitted to the bar, but
never practiced.
Mr.. Gately's success can be attrib-
uted to his sterling honesty and I'M
selfish desire to help his fellow men,
He gathered around him a faithful
corps of employees, and rewarded
honest and efficient service by making
such employees participators in the
profits of the business.
He was popular member of sever
al Chicago athletic and social clubs,
prominent of which was the Chicago
Athletic, Glen View and Edgwater
clubs.
He leaves a wife and two children,
Ralph Michael and Theresa Mary.
His son Ralph has been in training for
the past five years, and will no doubt
succeed his father as the active head
Of the various Gately corporations.
The Gately store at Virginia was
closed all day Wednesday on which
day Mr.. Gately's funeral was held.

William O'Brien; secretary, H. c.
Horribly; treasurer, F. E. Weyerhaeus-
err, and general manager S. ]. Cusson.
The fiscal year just ended was very
satisfactory.
II am very favorably impressed
with the business outlook for the
year 1914, and conditions appear to
be improving steadily. The recovery
along business and industrial lines
seems to be very sound and encourag-
ing for continued expansion" said Mr..
Hines.
The Virginia and Rainy Lake COM
pany not only is the largest lumber
concern in this country, but is one
of the largest industries and employ
ers of men in the northwest. The
company's sawmill capacity is 1,000,-
900 feet daily, and it has planning
mill with a capacity of 100000 feet
per day. The company owns timber,
which it is estimated will keep the
manufacturing plants occupied at
normal capacity for 20 years. The
estimated value of the company's lum-
Der output during the past fiscal year
was about $4,000,000. The Virginia
and Rainy Lake company owns and
operates nearly $50 miles of standard
guage railroad, primarily for logging
purposes, and built 26 miles of road
last year in northern Minnesota. This
railroad is adequately equipped with
locomotives and cars.

CHAPTER XIV.
Red November's Work.

~ r all his weird adventures this latest pleased P. Sybarite least It's one thing to take
 chances under cover of night when your heart is light, your pockets heavy and wine is buZzing wantonly within your head. but another thing altogether to burglarize your eEemy's apartments via the fire escape and in broad daylight For by now the light was nothing less in the open.
 Yet to his relief he found no more than limpid twilight in the cramped and shadowed we'll down which zigzag- ged the fire escape.
 The window was wide open. to force whose latch be had thoughtfully pro vided himself with fruit knife from Peter Kenny's buffet. Within was gloom and stiffness absolute. He step ped noiselessly in his unshod feet down through the window. cautiously parted the draperies and advanced into dark ness so thick that there might as well have been night outside instead oi glowing daybreak.
 Then. with eyes becoming accustoh- ed to the change. he made out shapes and masses that told him he was ln the dining room.
 Over across from the window stood a door. it's oblong dimly luminous with light softly shining down the walls or a private hall from a point some dls- tance to the left.
 Rounding a dining table, P. sybarite stole softly on and paused, listening. just within the threshold,
 From some uncertain quarter. pre- sumably the lighted room. he could hear a sound. very slight. so slight thar 1t seemed guarded. but none the less Hnmistakable--the hiss of carbonated water squirting from siphon into glass
 Ceasing. short wait followed ana then a faint "A-ah. of satisfaetl"t' with the thump of q glass set down dpon some hard surface
 And at once soft footballs became audible in the private hall. shuhiing back toward the dining room.
 Instinctipely the little man drew back. regre,ful now that he had yield ed to Peters prejudicss against loaded pistols. retreating sideways along the wall unti he had put the bulk of massive buffet between him ana the door
 The footsteps came no farther than the dining room. then died out Tor what seemed full two minutes, a pause as inegihle to his understanding as their manifest stealth.
 Suddenly and more confidently the Foothills turned into the dining room and without a glance right or left
