THE NAKED
MAN


Keep smiled encouragingly. ~The

ing around in the moonlight"
The other nodded, and was about to
speak when there burst in upon them
the roaring scream of the siren. The
note now was of deeper rage, and came
in greater volume Between his clenched
teeth the naked one cursed hercely, and
then, as though to avoid further ques-
tons, burst into a 6t of coughing.
Trembling and shaking, he drew the
canvas cloak closer to him. But at no
time did his anxious, prying eyes leave
the eyes of Keep. %
"You-you couldn't lend me suit OF
clothes, could you?" he suffered. Just
for tonight? I'll send them back. It's

was not in the least surprised. 1t was
as though he had been waiting for the
man, as though it had been an appoint
ment.
Two thoughts alone concerned him !:
that before he could rid himself of his
visitor his wife might return and take
alarm, and that the man, not knowing
his friendly intentions, and in a. state to
commit murder. might rush him. But
the stranger made no hostile move, and
for moment in the moonlight the two
young men eyed each other warily.
Then, taking breath and with vio-
lent effort to stop the chattering of his
teeth, the stranger launched into his
story.

live near here" n.
With start Keep raised his eyes
and, distressed by his look, the young
man continued less confidently.
Il don't blame you if you don't BE-
iieve it" he stammered, seeing me like
this; but l do live right near here.
Everybody around here knows me, and
l guess you've read about me in the pa
pers, too. Pm-that is, my name"
like one about to take plunge he drew
short breath, and the ratlike eyes re-
garded Keep watchfully-"my name is

After pause, slowly and reproving-
ly Fred shook his head; but his smile
was kindly even regretful, as though he
were sorry he could not longer enjoy
the strangers condolences.

than Van Warden! You're a genius p
He rose and made a peremptory gesture.

justsmiled when l told him what

down beside me and helped me

unusual from cashier, let me
tell you that. Probably you
may say that he was looking
for deposits for his bank. Well,
he got them, all right; for soon
after that the South River Ma
tional had a deposit of at least
two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars from the Susquehanna
Railroad.
"A year or so later l went to
Philadelphia to become second
vice president of the Mountain
Valley Railroad. One day Sam
surprised me by paying me a
visit, and as a result of it the
Mountain Valley soon had a

deposit of three hundred thousand dol
lars in the South River National. Then
when 1 returned to New York to become
president of this institution there was an
opening for a new man, and | at once Sc
lected Sam for the place. When he was
with us l sent him abroad for eight
months to study foreign exchange, out
West to study up our railroad mortgages,
and through the State to familiarize himself
with the State banks, and there you are
foreign exchange, State banking, trust COM
pany business, and mortgageS,-a liberal
education.
"Sam was slated to go when plans were
being considered for the consolidation of our
institution with three other companies, dur
ing the era when there was craze for such
combinations He told me then of the offer
he had received from Mr.. Blank, the bank
ing authority, and l said at once, Go to it!
Don't hesitate!' Sam now possesses what
l regard as the best opportunity in Wall
Street, and it has come to him practically
as result of that visit he paid me as cashier,
and proved himself so obliging about sending
checks to pay the Susquehanna employees.
OF course he had intrinsic merit and the
qualities that make for achievement; other
wise his personality would not have been of
much use to him.
AM reminded of one time when l was in
the office of James J. Hill, in the Mutual
Life Building. This was just about the
period when the United States Steel Cor
poration was compelled to abrogate its con-
tract for the exploitation of the Great
Northern ore lands, and the veteran railroad
builder was studying photographs and blue
prints of the ore mines of the Mesabi Range,
which were spread out on the long board
table. AS he began to speak of the extent
of the veins of ore, the depths of the
mines, in which the value of the mineral
increased the deeper one went, and of the
immense values hidden in the recesses of
the earth, Mr.. Hill smiled and his big eyes
glowed.

BE FAIR. TO ALL SECTIONS

Rumors are being circulated that the people of Valdez
considering the avisaoy of presenting the of Judge
Hubbard as candidate for Senator in this division 1t is
sincerely to be hoped this will be DONE Two years
ago Colonel Milard of Valdez elected Senator and
he drew the long for four years. He still has
and generally conceded that at the expiration of
that time the of Valdez may with all propretv again
ask the election of Senator from the largest in the
division But have the full representation of the division
is reasonable and it lis not probable that the
balance of the division would stand for such inequality And
don't believe that the of justice of the good people
of Valdez would endorse such proposition Judge Hubbard
very pleasant and gentleman, and did good
service for Valdez pressing her claims before Congress and
the departments Washington during the past year. and if
the people of Valdez wish to reward him there ought to be
other than at the expense of the rest of the division
There has been general desire to create friendly feeling
among the residents of the various towns this DIVISION but
the candidacy of Judge Hubbard would hardly tend in that
direction.

UMATHLA WAS EASY
Home Team Took the Game by a
Score of Five to Two

In the game with Umatilla yester-
day afternoon, the Ocala team won by
five to two. and tho the Umatilla boys
were not hard to beat, they put such
correct and harmonious game that
it was a pleasure to play with them.
The Ocala lineup was as follows:
Harris, p.; Dinkins, c.; Chazal, 1b. :;
Davis, 2b.; Dewey, 3d.; Wilder, S.;
Burford, IT,; Tompson, CT; Bats, 'rf.
A young man named Harris Eppes
pitched for Unatilla. and did very
we'll, but not so we'll as the Ocala
pitcher, who is coming stronger every
game. Both teams backed up their
pitchers TO the extent of their ability
and the game was very interesting.
Ocala has had mixed luck during
the season, but is coming in strong
on the home stretch. There will not
be many games more as the half hol-
idays are about over, and teams in
this territory are disbanding.
