Pretty Cook Tries
Nick Carter's Game
However, Twenty-four Hours In Cell
Cures "Ham-and" Man of
Sleuthinq Business.

An ambition to be detective of the
Nick Carter brand caused Lewis
SCHNEIDER, a Chicago restaurant cook
and dishwasher, to masquerade for
week in the South Clark street police
strict as morals inspector. Twenty
four hours experience behind the bars
has cured him, he says, of ever again
wanting to put any person in the same
predicament.
The arrest book at the South Clark
street station shows that Schindler
while playing the role Of policeman,
prosecuted ten persons. OF the ten,
all of whom were arraigned before
Judge Goodnow in the Morals Court,
some are said to be working out fines
at the Bridewell.
Policemen all over the city, when
they learned of Schindler's escapade,
were convulsed with laughter. The
South Clark street police district,
from which denizens had fed to escape
being arrested by the demon cop"
as SCHNEIDER was called, assumed its
wonted gayety when it became known
that he was only masquerader.
81 know more about the police busi-
ness than those guys over at the
South Clark street station give me
credit for" said SCHNEIDER, when re-
leased on bonds.
Everything will come out all right
in the wash. Isch ka bibble. Why
don't they go and ask Captain Crippen
about me? He told me he thought /
would make good sleuth, and he said
he would give me chance when there
was an opening. / just made the open
ing myself, and I've been pretty busy,
too. That's all there is to it,"
Before he was unmasked by Ser
geant Farrell, SCHNEIDER led Detective
Sergeant James Mccarthy a merry
three hour chase over the district,
pointing out alleged disorderly houses
and gambling places.

Charles Weegham, who was Schind-

tive he would make, but there is no
better dishwasher in Chicago"

Richard nodded gaily.
Gall right, l have the bundle all
ready and we'll get my wraps on at
once.
Lets hide their suit cases." sug-
gested Jack Farnsby, Dicks room
mate, who was to be best man at the
wedding.

night make them miss the boat, and
as Nell's aunt has to make trip
from the country to meet them that
would be carrying joke too far.
Besides, Nell does not enjoy joking"
said Olive Dunn.
$50 far as Nell goes, she will have
to get used to jokes if she lives with
Dick with any comfort. He is full
of them. We can produce the suit
cases in time to catch the boat, after
we have kept them hunting awhile.
Now the whole bunch must be on the
pier, so that when they come down
late to get on the boat there will be
enough rice and old shoes to an
nounce that it is bridal couple to

away.
A dozen of them were waiting
anXiously on the landing that eve
ming and only a few minutes re-
mained before leaving time.
81 am afraid they are not coming
in time. There goes the whistle and
they are taking up the gangplank,"
exclaimed Olive in dismay.
Just as the boat moved away from
its pier a taxi drove up and four
people sprang out and raced for the
wharf. 1t was too late. The water
was churned to suds by the wheels.
want to get that boat?" called a
man standing near.
"I'll give you fiver if you put
'em aboard" whispered Jack in his
ear.
"Come with me-" he called.
In flash they were running down
the pier, stumbling over boards and
ropes in the dim light. At last they
came to tug moored at the end of
the long wooden structure and liter
ally fell aboard. He put on all pos
sible steam and signalled the lake
boat to stop. 1t was overtaken at
the mouth of the river and as the
tug came alongside the rail was
packed with passengers.
AS Dick and Nell We're helped
aboard the rice and old shoes were
pressed into service, and everyone
knew that bridal couple was ap-
preaching.
The passengers lined up on deck
and poor Nell, who had been so anxi
Gus that no one should, suspect that
it was their wedding journey, was
taken down the long line in this i'm
promptu reception and introduced as
Mrs. Morton. She stood the ordeal
we'll and everybody was in love with
the pretty bride.
1t was a great relief, however, to
climb into the comfortable carriage
behind Uncle William and know that
there would be no more teasing or
annoyance for two long weeks.
(Note-The further adventures of
Nell and Dick will be related from
time to time in subsequent issues.)

SQUIRRELS DIG UP SKELETON
Bones of Indian Uncarthed at Mouth
of California Canyon.

Santa Monica, Gala peculiar dis
covery has been made Of a fossil bed
up tile coast at the mouth OF Topanga
Canyon. Some years ago there was a
man living in the old house on the Ia
goon fiat there, and he unearthed some
excellent specimens Of fossils and sup
posed Indian bones. A large heap of
black dirt was noticed near woodpile
at the edge of the beach, and upon in
vestisation it proved to be the burrow
Of g family of squirrels.
The little diggers had piled up OH
the surface of the sandy soil perhaps
$50 pounds of black sand, In which
were pieces of clam shells, fos sils and
bits of human bone. There were even
rocks weighing close to two pounds.
The dirt was just as It had been
dumped by the animals, and bones and
fossils were mixed together with the
rocks and sand. The bones have been
identified as those of human beings,
several specimens showing conclusive
ly that they at one time, in the misty
years past, had constituted the bony
framework of some stalwart Indian
brave.
Theories have been advanced by
men interested in osteology, but no
definite conclusionss have been reach.
ed. They think that the bones are
those of Indians, but that they are
hundreds of years old. The squirrels
must have burrowed mnay feet, or else
the beach In the years past was nearer
to the mountains than 1t is at present.
That is natural, for the change Is made
by the yearly washing Of quantities
of sand and rocks from the interior
down to the mouth of the canyon.

Old Miner Finds
Gold On Railroad
Gets Company to Have Gravel Assayed
and His Guess Proves Good
But Not Enough.

-but INot Enough.
Half million dollars in gold ID
spread annually between Omaha, Neb,
and San Francisco, Cal, by uncon-
.cerned section men who give never
thought to the potential wealth that
they are pounding down between the
ties of a great railroad. The officials
OF the railroad company know the gold
is there, but the gravel that bears 1t
ie worth more to them as gravel thai
as gold ore. This spreading OF wealth
has been going ons since 1899. In that
b time II is estimated that nearly $780,
600 in gold has been tamped down
between the rails of the Union South
ern Pacific Railroad.
The gold bearing gravel comes from
Sherman Hill, Wyo. There lies one
of the greatest gravel beds in the
light of way Of the railroad. 1t is
peculiar rock, mostly decomposed
granite, and the men who get 1t out
for ballast are really miners, as 1t is
necessary to loosen it with dynamite
before the huge steam shovels can
load it on the cars.
"The way we discovered there was
gold in Sherman Hill was rather
funny" said Gerrit Fort, passenger
traffic manager of the Hartman Lines.
IAN old prospector was stealing ride
on one Of our gravel trains, and his
mining instincts overcame his caution
when he was prowling about an empty
car, A piece of the gravel that looked
good to him he picked up, and when
he reached division point he 'panned
IT, and found color.
"That color was enough to send him
in wild excitement to the division
superintendent. He was interested and
the prospector panned more Of the
rock for his benefit, showing him the
point Of gold after the operation. To
satisfy ourselves We had the gravel
assayed and found that 1t really did
contain gold-about So to the ton. That
did not make 1t valuable enough to
mine, and 1t did not hurt 1t as gravel.
"There is one peculiarly about the
Sherman Hill gravel. though, and that
is that 1t is practically dustless. When
It Is spread between the rails It soon
packs down about the ties in compact
form and as the rats beat on II there
is something in the stone that forms
q sort Of cement and binds the mass
together.
"When the Union Pacific first began
It's use Of Sherman gravel, the pit was
opened merely for use on the track in
Wyoming, and the gravel for the rest
of ~" lii was taken from pits near
where 1t was needed. The superiority
Of the track In Wyoming after it had
been bsllasted with gravel from the
new pit was so pronounced that its use
was spread gradually until now the
whole system is covered with it. Ma
ture, too, has aided the railroad man
in that Sherman Hill is practically the
high point of the transcontinental line
and 1t is a downhill haul for the gravel
trains when they leave the hill for dis
tant points"
