Many Men Leading Double Lives or
Hiding Prison Records Unesrthed
In New York Canvass.

Scores Of men who are leading
double lives have been tripped up by
the police check census. taken some
time ago, of all the dwelling places in
the city, says the New York World.
These men are appealing TO Director
Goodrich to know whether they will be
allowed to register twice, once under
their proper" names and again un-
der the assumed names they employ
at their irregular establishments.
Many cases have developed of the
"man without a country" Former
convicts now living respectable lives
have called and said they lost their
citizenship" and did not dare to affirm
that they were citizens, but their chief
trouble was regarding the citizenship
Of their children, and whether they
would have to reveal their former
lives 10 their families They were told
to state they were citizens. as they had
only lost certain of the rights of citi-

although at first glance II seems quite
incredible says world traveller.
Today the town consists chiefly Of
one main street, paved with cobble-
stones between which the grass grows
luxuriantly. Here San BIAS conducts
its business affairs in neat little shops,
lives in substantial adobe houses and
lounges in the tiny cafes. which are
all run by Cinnamon. slipping tequila
and eating green cOcouutA There is the
usual central plaza, Of course, where
the band plays in the evening; a the
alter where people bring their own
chairs. and q market place where the
San Bias citizen buys everything from
his rice for dinner to his shoes and
rosary. Branching of from the main
street are divers muddy little roads
running crooBedly in every direction
and lined with little huts made Of poles
and mud. with matched roofs and with
out floors their uGliness half hidden by

scanted himself of sleep ana redouhled

the nature of things he felt that his
own shift must necessarily be short.
The more or less dramatic coup in
Timanyoni High Line had advertised
him thoroughly He was rapidly COM
ing to be the beSt-known man in Brew

about lost Identities, or the ability 10
lose them, in the land where time and

II was needful that he should work
while the day was his in which to

still much TO be done. Williams was

CHAPTER X.
The Rocket and the stiek.


For a full fortnight after the pre-
lminary visit 20 the Brewster City
National bank Smith was easily the
busiest man in Timanyoni county. Is
tahIishing himself in the Hophra
House, and discardlng the working
Khaki only because he was shrewd
enough to dress the new part becom-
ingly, he flung himself into what
Colonel Baldwin called the miracle
working" campaign with zest that
knew no tagging moment.
Within the fourteen-day period new
town Offices were occupied on the sec
ond floor of the Brewster City Ma
tional building; Stillings, most efficient
of corporation counsels, had secured
the new charter; and the stock-books
of Timanyoni High Line had been
opened, with the Brewster City Ma
tional named as the company's deposit
tory and official fiduciary agent.
At the dam the building activities
had been generously doubled. An cleo
trio light plant had been installed and
Williams was working day and night
shifts both in the quarries and on the
forms. Past this the new financial
manager, himself broadening rapidly
as his field broadened, was branching
out in other directions. After q brief
conference with a few of his principal
stockholders he had instructed Stillings
to include the words Power and Light
in the cataloguing of the new com
pany's possible and probable charter
activities, and by the end of the fort
night the foundations of a pOweThouse
were going in below the dam, and ne
gotiatiOns were already on foot with
the Brewster city council looking to-
ward the sale of electric current TO the
city for lighting and other purposes.
Smith had made the planting of his
financial anchor securely to windward
his first care. Furnished with select
ed list by Colonel Baldwin, he had
made a thorough canvas of possible in
vestors, and by the time the new stock
was printed and ready for delivery

buck, and other local capitalists suf-

this, with promise Of more if it
should be needed.
Not to Maxwell or to any of the new
investors had Smith revealed the full
dimensions of the prize for which Tim
anyoni High Line was entering the
race. Colonel Baldwin and one Will
liam Starbuck, Maxwell's brother-in-
law, by courtesy and his partner in
the Little Alice mine, alone knew the
wheel within the wheel; how the great
eastern utility corporation represented
by Stanton had spent a million or
