CHAPTER III.
During the next week the office of
Whittler Wheatcroft oiCo. had It usual
aspect of prosperous placidity. The rou
tine work was dune In the routine way;
the porter opened the ottiee every morn
ing and the otllte boy arrived a few
minutes after it was opened; the .-)t-rk
came at nine and a little later the part
ners were to be seen In the Inner ottlce
reading the morning'.) correspondence.
The Whlttiers, father and son. had
had a discussion wlthlMr. Wheatcroft as
to the most advisable course to adopt to
prevent the future leakage of the trade
necrets of the tlrm. The senior partner
succeeded In dissuading the Junior part
ner from the employing of detectives.
'"Not yet" he said, "not yet. These
clerks have all served us faithfully for
years and 1 don't want to submit them
to the Indignity of beins 'shadowed'
"I Think Wo Can stand tho l oss a I.ittlo
Longer.
that's what they call It. isn't It? of be
ing shadowed by some cheap hireling
who may try to distort the most Inno
cent acts Into evidence of guilt, so that
he can show us how smart he Is."
"But this sort of thing can't go on for
ever." ejaculated Mr. Wheatcroft. "If
we are to be underbid on every contract
worth having we might as well go out
of the business!"
"That's true, nf course," 'Mr. Whittler
admitted, "but 'e are not sure that we
are being underbid unfairly-
"The Tuxedo Company having taken
away three contracts from us In the
past two months," cried the Junior
partner. "We can be sure of that,
can't we?"
"We have lost three contracts, of
course," returned Mr. Whittler, In his
must conciliatory manner. "and
the Tuxedo people have captured them.
But that may 'be only coincidence,
after all."
"It Is a pretty expensive coincidence
for tis." snorted Mr. Wheatcroft.
"Hut because we have lost money."
the senior partner rejoined gently,
laying his hand on Mr. Wheatcitifts
arm. " that's no reason why we should
also lose our heads. It Is no reason
why we should depart from our old
custom of treating every man fairly.
If there Is any one In our employ here
who Is selling us, why. If we give him
rope enough, he will hang himself
sooner or later."
"And before he suspends himself that
way," cried Mr. Wheatcroft, "we may
be forced to suspend ourselves."
"Come, come, Wheatcrgft, said the
senior partner. "I think we can afford
to rtand the loss a little longer. What
we can't afford to do Is to lose our slf
iepect by doing something Irreparable.
It may be that we shall have to employ
detectives but I don't think the time
has come yet."
"Very well," the junior partner de
rlared. yielding an unwilling consent.
"I don't Insist on It. I still think It
would be best not to waste any more
time-but f don't Insist. What will
happen is that we shall lose the rolling
of those steel rails for the Springfield
and Athens Knurl that's all."
Pau Whlttlet had taken no part In
this discussion. He agreed with his
father, and he saw no need for him to
Urge any further argument.
Now he looked up and asked when
they Intended to put in the bid for the
Tills, His father then explained that
they were expecting a special estimate
from the engineers at the Ttnmapo
works, and that It would probably be
Wiiluirdny before this could be dis
cussed by the partners and the exact
figures of the proposed contract deter
mined "And If we don't want to lose that
contract for sure.'Mnsisted Mr. Wheat
croft, "I think we had better change
the combination on the safe."

seems to me better to leave the com

And with that the subject was
dropped. For several days the three
men who were together for hours In the
ottlce of the iKanipoo Iron and Steel
wuiKH icua nicu limn tuiy umuuEipioii
of the Uestion which was most promi
nent In their minds!
It was on Wednesday that the tall
clock that Paul Whittler had broken
returned from the repairers, I'aul him
self helped the men to set It again in
its old place In the corner of 'the olliee,
facing the safe which occupied the cor
ner diagonally opposite.
It so chanced that I'aul came drown
late on Thursday morning, and per
haps this was the reason that a pres
sure of delayed work kept him In the
olllce that evening long after every one
else. The clerks had gone, even Major
Van Zatult. always the last to leave
und the porter had come In twice be
fore the son of the senior partner was
ready to go for the night. The gas was
lighted here and there In the long, nar
row, deserted store, as I'aul walked
through It from the ottlce to the street.
Outside the swift twilight of a New
York. November had already settled
down on the city.
"Can't 1 carry yer bag for ye, Mister
Paul'." 'asked the porter, who was
showing htm out.
"No, thank you. Mike," was the young
man's answer. "That bag has very lit
tle In It. And besides I haven't got to
carry It far."
The next morning Paul was the first
of the three to arrive. The clerks were
In their places already, but neither the
senior or Junior partner had yet come.
The porter happened to lie standing
under the wagon archway as Paul
Whittler was about to enter the store.
The young man saw the porter and a
mischievous smile hovered about the
corners of his mouth.
"Mike." he said, pausing on the door
step, "do you think you ought to smoke
while you are cleaning out our oflice in
the moinlng?"
"Sure I haven't had me pipe In me
mouth this mornln' at all." the porter
answered, taken by surprise.
"But yesterday morning?" 'Paul pur
sued. "Yesterday mornln'," Mike echoed,
not a little puzzled.
"Yesterday morning at ten minutes
before eight you were In the private
office smoking a pipe "
"But how did you see me, Mister
Paul?" cried Mike in amaze; "ye was
late In comln' down yesterday, wasn't
ye?"
Paul smiled pleasantly.
"A little bird told me." he said.
. "I.f !..had ,ne blrd rd wring his neck

The office boy was quite as much
taken by surprise as the porter had
wltt'ed Wa" younB,!r nnd Wicker
"And when did I have Danny in the
offlee?" he asked defiantly
..'1iTJ.or."ay !P,rnin" Paul answered,

as though trying hard to recall nil the
events of the. day before. "Maybe

ll0,J:,a??S ,"(nH vlth you all the
way into the private office," Paul went
on, while. Hob looked at him with In
creasing wonder.
How did yon know?" the oflice bov
asked frankly. "Were you looklii'
through the windows?"
"How do 1 know that you and Danny
stood on your heads in the corner of the
office with your heels against the safe,
scratching off the paint? Next time I'd
try the yard If I were you. Sports of
that sort are more fun In the open air."
And with that parting shot Paul went
on his way to his own desk, leaving the
oflice boy greatly puzzled.
Later In the day Bob and Mike ex
exchanged confidences and ' neither
was ready with any explanation.
"At school," Bob declared, "we UHter
think teHcher had eyes In the back of
her head. She was everlastingly
catchln' me when T did things behind
her back. ftutMr. Paul beats that -for
hi see me doln' things when he wa'n't

'iMIster Paul wa'n't here, for sure,
yesterday mornln'," Mike asserted. "I'd
take me oath o' that. An' If he wa'n't
here, how could he see me glvln' ye a
light from my pipe. Answer me that!

"I ain't no bird." said Boh. "you can

know what It Is Mr. Paul does--least
1 know how ha does It. It's second

But perhaps It Is not necessary to set
down here ihe oflice boy's recollection
of the ,tr(ck of an Ingenious magician.
About half an hour after Paul had ar
rived at the office. iMr. Wheatcroft ap
peared.' ' The' Juhlor partner hesitated In
the doorway for a second and then
entered. '. J f . ' .
Paul was watching him, and the same
mischievous smile flashed over tho faea
of the young man.
"You need not be ahirmed to-day,
Mr. Wheatcroft." 'he mid. "there Is ro
fascinating female waiting for you this
morning."
"Confound the woman," ejaculated
Mr. Wheatcroft testily, VI couldn't get
rid of her."
"But you subscribed for the book at
lost," asserted i'aul, "and she went
way happy."
"1 believe I did agree to take on copy
of the work she showed me," admitted
Mr. Wheatcroft a little sheepishly.
Then he looked up suddenly. "Why,
bless my soul." he cried, "that was yes
terday morning "
"Allowing for differences of clocks,"
Paul retained, "It was about ten min
utes to ten yesterday morning."
"Then how do you come to know any
thing about It? I should like to be
told that!" the junior partner Inquired.
"You did not get down until nearly
twelve."
"I had an eye on you," Paul an
swered, us the smile again lilted across
his face.
"But i thought you were detained all
the morning by a sick friend." insisted
'Mr. Wheatcroft.
"So I wus," .Paul responded. "And If
you won't believe I had an eye on you
all I can say then hi that a little bird
told me.
"Stuff and nonsense!" cried IMr.
Wheatcroft. "Your little bird had two
legs, hadn't It?" ,
"Most birds have," laughed Paul.
"I mean two legs In a pair of trous
ers." explained the junior partner,
rumpling his grizzzled hair with an im
patient gesture.
'"You see now how uncomfortable It
Is to be shadowed," said 'Paul, turning
the topic, as his futher entered the
ottiee.
That Saturday afternoon Mr. Whit
tier and Mr. Wheatcroft agreed on the
bid to be made on the el rails needed
"Con't I Carry Your Hag for You?"
by the Springfield nnd Athens road.
While the elder Mr. Whittler wrote the
letter to the railroad with his own
hand, his son maneuvered the Junior
partner into the outer office where all
the clerks happened to be at work. In
cluding the old ;bodkkeeper. Then
Puul managed his conversation with
Mr. Wheatcroft so that any one of the
live employes who chose to listen to the
apparently careless talk should know
that the tlrm had just made a bid on
another ImiHirtant contract. Paul
also spoke as though both his father
and himself would probably go out of
town that Saturday night, to remain
away until Monday morning.
Just before the store was closed for
the night Paul Whittler wound up the
eight-day clock that stood in the corner
opposite the private safe.
To be continued.

Happenings of Interest to the Staplo

In Iron, Steel and Antbraoito Coal.
The Bellefonte Nail works will re
sume operations In a few weeks. The
plant has been leased by James Bailey,
who Is the manager of the Harrlsburg
Nail company. A large number of men
will be given employment.
On the Pennsylvania road, main line.
the block signal operators, who work
twelve hours a day, will hereafter be
relieved by a regular substitute for two
days at a time once a month. The sub
stitute is furnished by the company at
Its own expense.
The 400 workmen of the Morris Ridge
mine have been thrown out of employ
ment, as the Lehltfh Valley Coal com
pany, which seized the plant on ac
count of arrearages in wages and royal
ties, has suspended all operations. The
mules have been hoisted, the rails torn
up and the workings will be allowed
to fill up with water.
The advent of the usual fall trade
season has Improved the anthracite
coal trade somewhat. In Boston, New
York and other large consuming cen
ters the detail demand has started up
in a satisfactory manner and us the
producing companies are not crowding
their output upon the market prices are
holding steady, flome of the compa
nies that are short of stove coal have
advanced the price of that size at
tidewater to t'.i and $3.15. but there Is
still good coal to be had at $2.90 and
some Is reported available at $2.75.
Kgg Is firmer at about S2.90 and broken
and chestnut are abundant at $2.75.
In spite of the great advance In steel
prices In the last ten days there are as
yet absolutely no signs of a reaction.
Prices at Pittsburg are steadily rising,
Bessemer pig having sold at $17.25. with
every prospect that $1 will be reached
before the end of the month, and steel
products are going up in nronortlon.
The Carnegie interest has purchased
JtO.OOO tons of Bessemer pig in the Le-
lilgn anu Schuylkill va leys and nego
tiations are pending for additional
quantitcs. The demand for material
from consumers Is urgent; and as the
railroads have not yet placed any con
siderable orders the Impression Is gen
eral that much higher prices will pre-
vuii in a lew weeKS.
One of the largest slnirlo nlnena nf
bituminous coal ever mined was
whipped rrom California, Pa., on Thurs
day night to Atlanta, Ga. It Is four
feet six Inches wide, Ave feet three
Inches thick (the thickness of the vein
from which It was takun being seven
fed between bands), and eight feet
two Inches In length. The weight of
11: mass Is eight tons. The mine from
which the block was taken has a re
markably good record: nccordlmr to

Tobacco.
The greatest discovery of the age!
A certain, pleasant, permanent
cure.
A lifetlme'ii anSerinc ended for
15.00.
Why smoke and spit your life
away? Why uuffer from dyspep
sia, heartburn, and drains on your
vital forces?
Stop using tobacco, but stop the
rllit way! Drive the nicotine from
your system by the use of this
wonderful remedy.
Narcoti-Cukk is warranted to
removo ull desire for tobacco in
every form, including; Cigar, Cigar
ette and Pipe Smoking, Chewing
and Suufl' Taking.
Use all the tobacco you want
while under treatment, and iu
from four to ten days your "hank
ering" and "craving" will disap
pear -the weed won't taste good.
Then throw away tobacco for
ever. Nakcoti-Cure Is entirely vege
table and free from injurious lu
gredients. It never falls to give
tone and new vigor to the weakest
constitution.
Remember Narcoti-Ccre does
not deprive you of tobacco while
effecting a cure; doesu't ask you
to buy several bottles to beentltied
to a guarantee; doesn't require a
month's treatment; and, iiiially,
doesn't enable you to stop tobacco
only to find you res f a slave to the
habit of tablet chewiug.
