 'My dear sister Patience was the best of the family" sighed Miss Pru- dence. ''It was a great blow to me when she passed out of my life
 Prudence was a dashing girl Miss Patience would say wistfully. "She mad all the men at her feet missed her sorely."
 This went on for several months. But one evening Leslie came running in to Miss Patience's house before the hour. Miss Prudence is i'll; I think she is dying" she said.

 Miss Patience hesitated only mo- ment, and then she followed Leslie into her sisters house. The doctor ar rived simultaneously. It was uncertain what had happened to Miss Prudence ; it might be stroke or only heart weakness. But when he was gone the girl and Miss Patience sat beside the sick woman ill silence for q long time, till Prudence opened her eyes

 And the two old ladies wept in each others arms, while Leslie sat by the bed, with all the thrill that child eX- periences in the first unfolding of life,

that would have caused the bank eX- aminer to grow suspicious. Unsus- pectingly the stern old bank of Bain- bridge stood with unruffied front until it became but financial skeleton, it's last spark of vitality wasted away.
 But this young bookkeeper of the gambling mania What became of him? Those other aiders and abetters to his crime, What action was taken in their case?
 Special Agent Billy Gard eventually had in hand complete understanding of the individuals and the methods that were associated with this case.
 Kelliner was taken into custody. He indignantly protested that he was innocent of any criminal wrongdoing. Mansfield, Walls and Tollman had dis appeared. The capture of the latter was of first importance.
 The special agent turned first to that primary command of the ola school detective when a crime is con- mitted: Find the woman" The re- suits obtained indicate that there may be much in the theory In the case of Tollman the connection with the Gatewood woman was soon estab- lished. She was not abaut her old haunts in New York No trails were immediately found. It was developed that she had originally lived in Kan sas City. When any individual has got into trouble there is always a strong probability that he will return to his old home, another detective the ory to which Billy Gard subscribed.
 Upon this theory Gard went to Kaa

 It developed that in this house there was always running, on evenings when helllner and Tollman came to New 1orK, faro game Here Kelliner gambled and at first won and induced Follman to try his luck. The voung- ster was allowed to win prodigiously. Agaln he would lose, but not enough to 1rlghten him away. So was the craze for gambling developed in the pookkeeper. But eventually he lost what was left of his inheritance Up to this time he was honest But at the suggestion of Kelliner he stole rom the bank to make good his losses. lie lost again, and was in the mill. mere was no chance of escape but through stealing more of the bank S funds and gambling in the hope of eventually winning out. The book Keeper had entirely lost his head. He became consumed with the reckless ness of desperation.
 In the meantime the Gatewood wom- an had moved to New York. Also Toll man had become deeply enamored With her. So fond was hs of her com pany, as matter of fact, that he would often turn over to Kelliner and Mansfield and other of their friends the money with which to gamble, while ne visited with Miss Gatewood. The members of the gang would go to some gllded restaurant and dine sumptuous- ly and return to Tollman and report that luck had been against them. and that they had lost all the money. On such occasions the profits of the eve ming were almost clear to the gang. On such occasions, so the members of the tram crew back to Boston reported,
 Big Bill' Kelliner would sob out his apparent grief, because of his losses. on the shoulder of Tollman. The lat ter was thus placed in the role of comforter. Kelliner would swear never to gamble again and make his pro- testations so earnestly that Tollman would become the aggressor and urge his associate on and paint pictures of luck ahead. So adroitly did Kelliner play this game that Tollman had been heard to threaten to break with him because he was piker.
 For two years this arrangement con tinued. Kelliner, Mansfield Walls, the Gatewood woman, and other accom- plices, maintained themselves as de- coys that induced the young bookkeep- CT to draw even more checks against his personal account and always ex- tract these and charge them where they were least likely to be missed. Despite his long carouses at night Tollman never failed to be at the bank in time to open the mail and extract the checks that would have betrayed him. Despite the loss of sleep he was never so dull that he neglected any detail in his bookkeeping that would have caused his accounts to fail to balance or to show any irregularities

Londoners and zeppelins.

The contrary way in which the Lon doner takes his Zeppelin raids has often been a matter of comment. He not only entirely refuses to be flight ened, but, official instructions forgot ten and dsregarded, he crowds into the streets at the smallest hint of raid, scans the sky eagerly, and claims, as matter of course, and is accorded in the same spirit the help of the local police force to the best possible view. Then, when it is all ever, he must needs go and see all that happened. And the railway companies and the bus companies and the tramway companies carry him in thousands, and the po- lice direct him, N1d instruct him, and tell him of the last trains home. And the street vendors, even before the news is in the papers, are selling him souvenirs.

It was the province of 'ile oookkeeper to enter the individ. uaI checks against the accounts ron. resented When he reached his own personal check, he charged it to some one ot the inactive accounts instead ol ms own and destroyed it. So had he taken $400000.
 But the immediate task in hand fo,, lo bllly Gard. It was the apprehen- slon Of the fugitive and the recovery II possible, of all or part of the money tahen. It was in the course of tho performance of this duty that the iamillcations of this case which give It place among the most unioue and complete crimes of the age were de- veloped. Uo
 While accountants were revea1iro Q the methods used inside the hank i,' getting hold of the money, Gard was busy outside. Tollman. having dis. appeared, was to be traced. The first step was to establish his habits to md his associates. To the exneri. enced special agent tine groundwork or case of this sort unfolds almost or itself. There were the people who Knew him best in Bainbridge for in. stance. They told Gard that the young. ster had broken away, of late. from the friends of his youth. He was be- lleved to have gone to Boston for his pleasures. He had a big red automo- bile which, it was supposed, he had bought with the money of his inherit ance and in which he drove away prac- tically every night.
 In Boston Gard picked up the clues. Tollman was well known at certain ho- tels and cafes. At one hotel which was a rendezvous for sporting peo. pie he regularly called upon very dashlng young woman who was regis tered as Laura Gatewood. It was at this same hotel that he became ac- quainted with an accomplished indi- vidual known as John R. Mansfield.

Badges for the Wounded.

Those people whose curiosity leads them to study the many badges of rank which now decorate the sleeves of officers and men of the allied armies have been puzzled by the appearance of new badge in the French army.
 French soldiers on leave in England may be seen wearing narrow stripes on the arm above the elbow and ordinary people have been unable to understand why some of the rank and file have been able to sport even more of these decorations than officers of high rank. The explanation is simple. Every stripe means wounded once. The French government has inaugurated a scheme by which every soldier is entitled to wear one for every time he has been wounded.
 Some men have already won several such stripes and the other day one man in London was the proud wearer of nine

SPANISH CHAPEL BUILT HERE
Wealthy Residents of New York and King of Spain Aided in Con-
 struction of Rare Edifice.

"Where will we find a Spanish church?"
 That is the question that thousands of Latin-Americans ask at hotels at New York city, and there are thou sands of persons in this city who do not know that here is the most i'm i posing Spanish Catholic chapel in the United States aneS B which for beau ty of architecth . ,Sld rare art trea> ',Sres ieyy9asy.pss iyay. <4aa-sas ia-sl sSset Nies N 1 of South America and Mexico says the New York Herald.
 Nuestra Sonora de la Esperanza is the name of the chapel. It is near the corner of One Hundred and Fifty sixth street and Riverside drive, over looking one of the grandest views to be had in New York city. Unlike a great majority of Spanish chapels, the poor of the Americas had little to do with it's building and few of the pen nies of the Spanish workingmen and workingwomen went into it's building fund. Nuestra Sonora de Ia Esperan- ga was built by the wealthy for the poor.
 Sonora Roua Manuela de Laverreni de Barrill wife of the One-time consul general of Spain in this city, was in- strumental in its erection As result of the efforts Archer Huntington gave the plot of ground and S25,000 toward the building.
 The king of Spain, I. Pierpont Mor- gan, Mrs. Collis r. Huntington, Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt and more than a score of other notable men and wOm- en here contributed the money and the art objects which have made Neustr Senora de la Esperanza so beautn..L
 Hanging above the east chapel al- tar is a picture of the Madonna, by Mandraza. It was given to tte church by Mir. Morgan. The sanctuary lamp, which always is lighted. is the gift of the king of Spain. On the rim of the bowl are reproductions of the clements in the collar of the Golden Fleece.
 The gold-topped professional arch is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Chauneey NJ. DepeW. The key of the chapel is made of some of the jewels of Sonora de Barril. The door is of gold and green enamel, and the candlesticks, which stand at either side of it, are the gift of Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt.
