CHAPTER IV.
Although the Whittiers. father and
on, spent Sunday out of 'town, Paul
made an excuse to the friends whom
they were visiting and returned to the
city by a midnight train. Thus he was
enabled to present himself at the ottiee
of the Kamapo works very early on
aionday morning.
It was so early Indeed Hint no one
of the employes had yet arrived when
the son of the senior partner, bag in
hand, pushed open the street door and
entered the long store, at the far end
of which the porter was still tidying
up for the day's work.
'An' Is that you, Al later Paul?" Mlk
asked In surprise, as he rnme out of th.
private olllce to see who the early vis-

ltor mlghit be. "An" what brought ye
out o' yer bed before breakfast like
this?"
"I always get out of bed before
breakfast," Paul replied. "Don't
you ?"
"Would I got up If I handn't got to
get up to get my liviu'?" the porter re
sponded. Paul entered the olllce. followed by
Mike, still wondering why the young
man was there at that hour.
After a swift glance around the office
Paul put down his bag on the table and
turned suddenly to the porter with a
question.
"When does Bob get down here?"
Mike looked at the clock in the corner
before answering.
"It'll be ten minutes." he said, "or
maybe twenty, before the boy does be
here today, seein' It's Monday mornin'.
an' he'll be tired with not workln' of
Sunday."
"Ten minutes?" repeated Paul, slow
ly. After a moment's (thought he con
tinued: "Then I'll have to ask you to
go out for me, iMike."
"I can go anywhere ye want, Mister
Paul," the porter responded.
"I want you to go," began Paul "I
want you to go " and he hesitated
as though he were not quite sure what
it as he wished the porter to do. "I
want you to go to the office of the
Gotham Oaxctte and get me two copies
of yesterday's paper. Do you under
stand?" "Maybe they won't be open so early
In the mornin'," said the Irishman.
"That's no matter," said Paul, htstily
correcting himself. "I mean that I
want you to go now and get the papers,
If you .oan. Of course, If the office
Isn't open I shall have to send again
later." .
"I'll be goln now Mister Paul," and
Mike took his hat and started off at
once.
Paul walked through the store with
the porter.' When Mike had gone the
young man locked the front door and
returned at once to the private office
In the rear. He shut himself In and
lowered all the shades so that what
ever he might do inside the office could
not be seen by anyone on the outside.
Whatever It was he wished to do, he
was able to do It swiftly, for In less
than a minute after he had closed the
door of the office he opened It again
and came out Into the main store with
his bag In his hand. He walked leis
urely to the front of the store, arriving
there just In time to unlock the door as
the office boy came around the corner,
smoking a cigarette.
"When Boh, still puffing steadily, was
about to open the door and enter the
store he looked up and discovered that
Paul was gazing at him. The boy
pinched the cigarette out of his mouth
and dropped It outside, and then came
In, his eyes expressing his surprise at
the presence of the senior partner's son
down town at that early hour In the
morning.
Paul greeted the boy pleasantly, but
Dob' got away from him as soon as
possible, for ever since the young man
had told what had gone on In the office
when Bob was Its only occupant, the
A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEHANDED.
, A feneral blinking business i done by
the human system, because the blood de
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
fain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against "a rainy day " as reserve fund
we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
sign of letting down in health. To gain
in Mood is nearly always to gain in whole
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
f erni of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
F our liver be inactive and our blood im
pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a
health standard. What is required is an
increase in am germ-fighting strength. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and
invigorate .the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
With new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that 98
per sent, of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the ''Discovery," it seems like
bold assertion. All Dr. Pierce askvisthat
you make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
By sending to the World's Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y., yon can get
free book with the names, addresses and
photographs of a large number of those
cured of throat, bronchial and lung diseases,
as well as of skin and scrofulous affections
by the " Golden Medical Discovery." They

medical treatise on consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, catarrh, which will be mailed on
receipt of address and six cents in stamps.

Irving Racbellor.l
office boy was a little afraid of the
young mun, as though some way mys
terious, not to say uncanny.
I'uul thought it best to wait for the
porter's return; and he stood outside,
under the archway, for live minutes,
smoking a cigar, with his bag at his
feet.
When Mike came back with the two
copies of the Sunday newspaper he had
been sent to get, l'uul gave him the
money fur them and an extra quarter
for himself. Then the young mun
picked up his bug again.
"When my father comes down.
iMike," he said, "tell him 1 may be a
little lute In getting buck this morn
ing." "An" are ye coin' awny now, .Mister
Paul?" the porter asked. "What good
was It then ye got out o bed berore
breakfast and come down here so early
in the mornin'?"
Paul laughed a little. "I had a rea
son for coming here tills morning," he
answered briefly; and with that he
walked away, his bag In one. hund and
the two bulky and gaudy Sunday news
papers In the other.
Alike watchedh 1m turn the corner
and then went Info the store again,
where Bob greeted him promptly with
a request to know why 'the old man's
son had been getting up by the bright
light.
"If I was the boss or the boss' son,
either." said Hob, "I wouldn't got up
till I was good an" ready. I'd have my
breakfast In bed. If I luvd a mind
to an" my dinner.' too an' my supper.
An' I wouldn't lo no work, an' I'd go
to the theayter every night, an' twli-t
on Saturdays."
"I dunno why IMItfter Paul was
down," .Mike explained. "All he wnnt
ed was two o' thim Sunday pupers with
pictures Into 'em. What did he want
Iwoo' thim for, I dunno. There's reud
ln' enough In one o' thim to last me a
month o' Sundays."
It 'may be surmised that Mike would
have been still more In the dark as to
Paul Whlttier's reasons for coming
down town eo early rhatMonday morn
ing, if he could have seen the young
mun throw the two copies of the
Gotham tiuzette into the Hist ash-cart
he pussed after he was out ot the range
of the porter'svlslon.
I'uul was not the' only member of
Whlttler, Wheacroft & Co. to arrive at
the ottiee early that morning. 'Mr.
Wheatcroft was usually punctual, tak
ing his seat at his desk Just as the
clock struck half-past 9. On this
Monday morning he entered the store
a little before 9.
As he walked back to the office he
looked over at the desks of the clerks
as though he v$s seeking some one.
At the door of the office he met Itob.
"Hasn't the major come down yet?"
he asked shortly.
"No, sir." the office boy answered.
'"He don't never get here till 9."
"H'm," grunted the Junior partner.
"When he does come, tejl him I want
to see him at 01.ee! At once! do you
understand?"
"I ain't deaf and dumb and blind,"
Bob responded. "I ll steer him Into
you soon as ever he shows up."
But. for a wonder, the old bookkeeper
was late that morning. Ordinarily he
was a model of exactitude. Yet the
clock struck 9 and half-past and 10 be
fore he appeared In the store.
Before he had changed his coat Bob
was at his side.
"Mr. Wheatcroft, he wants to see
you now In a hurry,' 'said the hoy.
Major Van Zandt paled sTmy and
steadied himself by a grasp of the
railing.
"Does Mr. Wheatcroft wish to see
me?" he asked faintly.
"You bet he does." the boy answered,
an' In a hurry, too. . He come bright
an' early this mornin' a-purpose to see
you, an' he's been wakin" for two
hours An' I guess he's got his mad up
now!"
When the old bookkeeper, with his
blanched face, and his fullering step,
entered the private olllce, Mr. Wheat
croft wheeled around In his chair.
"Oh, It's you, Is H?" he cried. "At
last!" .:
1 MI wBrri ,1lat 1 was Ia'e this morn
ing, Mr. W ljeatcroft," Van Zandt be
gan. "That's no matter!" said his em
ployer. 'Ut least I want to talk to you
about something else."
"About something else?" echoed the
old man feebly.
l8non!,e'l Mr. Wheatcroft.
.k .11 d0"r hhlnd you, please, so
that that red-headed cub out there
can t hear-what I'm going to say. And
take a chair. Yes. There Is something
else I've got to Bay to you, and I want
you to be frnnk with me."
Whatever It was that IMr. Wheat
croft had to say to Major Van Zandt It
had to be said under the eyes of the
clerks on the other side of the glass
partition. , 'And It took a long time
saying, for It was evident to any ob
server of the two men as they sat there
In the private office that Mr. Wheat
croft was trying to force an explana
tion of some kind from the old book
keeper, and that the major was re
sisting his employer's entreaties as
best h could. Apparently the matter
under dlscuralon was of an Importance
so grave as to make Mr. Wheatcroft
resolutely retain his self-control; and
not once did he let his voice break out
explosively, as was his custom.
Major Van Zandt was still closeted
with Mr. Wheatcroft when Mr. Whlt
tler arrived. The senior partner
stopped near the street door to speak
to a clerk: and he was Joined almost
Immediately by his smi.
"Well, ipaul." said the father, "have T
got down .here before you after all,
and In sp(te of your running away last
night?" .
"No,' the son responded, "I was the
first to arrive this morning luckily."
"Luckily?", echoed his father. "I
suppose that means that you have been
able to accomplish your purpose
whatever It wasTTou didn't tell me,
you know."
"I'm ready to tell you now, father,"
said Paul, "'since I have succeeded." -
Walking down the store together
they came to the. private office.
As the old bookkeeper saw them he
started up and made as though to
leave the office.- 1
"Keep your Beat, major," cried Mr.
Wheatcroft, sternly, but not unkindly.
"Keep your seat, please:"
Then he turned to Mr. Whlttler. "I
have something to tell you both," he
said, "and I want 'the major here while
I tell you. Paul, may I trouble you to
see that door Is closed so that we are
out of hearing?" ,
"Certainly," Paul responded; as he
hut the door.' -
"Well, Wheatcroft," Mr. Whlttler
asked, 'tonal Is all. tbhl mystery of
yours oowT.'i-.- '. .. ,
The Junior partner swung around In
his char.and faced Mr. Whlttler.
"My mystery?" he cried. "It's the
mystery that pussled 14s all and I've
solved It." v tf,. . ..1 . :
"What do you mean," asked the seni
or partner. i
"What 1 mean la that somebody has
been opening that safe there in the
corner and r"llng4ntir nrlvate letter,
book and finding out what we were
bidding on Important oontracts. What
I mean Is that thin man has taken this
Information filched, from us and has
sold It to our competitors who were not
too scrupulous as to be unwilling to
buy stolen goods!"
"We all suspected this, as you know."
the elder Whlttler said. "Have you
anything new now?"
"Haven't IT' returned Mr. Wheat
croft. "I've found the man! that's all!"
"You, too?" ejaculated iPuul.
"Who Is her' asked the senior part
ner.
"Walt a minute," Mr. Wheatcroft
beeged. Ifcin't be In a hurry and I'll
tell you. Yesterday afternoon 1 don't
know what x.issessed me, but I felt
drawn down town for some reason. I
wanted to see If anything was going on
here. I knew we had made that bid
Suturdav, and I wondered If anybody
would try to get at it on Sunday, tio I
came down about four o'clock and I
saw a man sneak out of the front door
of this office. I followed him aa swiftly
opt
"About Something Use?" Echoed the Old
Mun, f eebly.
as I could and as quietly, for I didn't
want to give the alarm until I knew
more. The man did not see me, and as
he turned to go up the steps of the ele
vated railroad station at the corner I
saw his face.",
"Old you recognize him?' asked Mr.
Whlttler.
"Yes," was the answer. "And he did
not see inc. There were tears rolling
down his cheeks perhaps thut'a the
reuson. This morning 1 called him In
here and he has finally confessed the
whole thing."
"Who who Is It?" asked Mr. Whlt
tler, dreading to look at the old book
keeper who hud been In the employ of
the firm tor thirty years nnd more.
"It is Major Van' Zandt!" Mr. Wheat
croft declared.
There was a moment of silence; then
the voice of Paul Whlttler was heard
saying, "I think there is some mis
take!" "A mistake?" cried .Mr. Wheatcroft.
"What kind of a mistake?"
"A mistake as to the guilty man,"
responded Paul.
"Io you mean that the major isn't
guilty?" uskt.il Mr. Wheatcroft.
"That's what 1 mean." Paul returned.
"Hut he hus confessed," Mr. Wheat
croft retorted.
"I can't help that," was the re
sponse. "He Isn't the mun who opened
that safe yesterday afternoon at half
past 3 and took out the letter-book."
The old bookkeeper looked at the
young man In frightened amazement.
"I have confessed It." he said pvteous
ly. "I have confessed It."
"I know you did, ma.or,"Paul de
clared, not unkindly. "And I don't
know why you did. For you were not
the man."
"And If the man who confesses Is not
the man who did It. who Is?"
"I don't know who he is although
I have my suspicions," said Paul; "but
I have his photograph taken in the
act!"
To be continued.
NEWS OF OUR INDUSTRIES.
Happenings of Interest to the Staple
Trades and Particularly to tha Trado
in Iron, steel and Anthracite Coal.
The Plttston Gazette on Saturday
printed a long description of the new
William A. breaker of the Connell
Coal company, which It pronounces the
largest and best equipped breaker In
the whole Wyoming and Lackawanna
coal field. Says the Gazette; "It is a
model of architectural skill and In
genuity, and reflects great credit on Its
builder, (1. A. Weseott, who has been
personally In charge of Its construction.
Standing along the side of the build
ing and looking up to the tower one
gets a good Idea of the vastness of the
structure, which Is 160 feet deep and
145 feet from the ground to the top of
the tower. The building Is not quite
completed yet and upon entering It
there was a great scene of activity.
Men could b seen In large numbers In
all parts of the place working to get it
In readiness for beginning operations
In the breaker on October 1. We next
proceeded to the engine house, which
Is a model one In every respect, every
thingcontiected with It being up to date.
The sides of the room and parts of the
celling are all of matched wood, mak
ing a very- neat and cozy place. Two
large second-motion engines, 16x36, are
used for running the machinery, and
were rebuilt with all modern Improve
ments by the Kxeter Machine works.
The breaker has a dally capacity of
2,000 tons. Leaving the entrine room we
proceeded to the mouth of the shaft,
which Is 200 feet away from the breaker.
'Leading from the shaft to the breaker
is a double track and as the loaded
cars come from the cage they run down
an Incline leading to ithe breaker,
where the loaded cars run on to the
breaker carriage, bumping the light
car off, which In turn runs down a
slight Incline to a small plane, where It
Is hoisted by means of an endless chain
over a plane, and thence run on down
to the shaft, where It bumps the loaded
car off the cage. This plane has a ca
pacity of 140 cars an hour. We next
proceeded to the tower.. At "this point
the loaded cars, after being hoisted
up Into the breaker, are dumped and
the coal passes through the different
processes of preparing It for market.
The breaker is double. 1 There are two
sides, and 64 boys will be required on
each side. On the, top landing It will
require thirty-four boys, and on the
centre thirty-six, making In all almost
200 slate pickers. The breaker contains
something new In the line of slate
picking. In the screen room the slate
telegraphs are so arranged that not a
particle of coal will be wasted. There
are both coal and slate telegraphs and
If the boy at the coal telegraph should
happen to throw a piece of coal In the
slate telegraph, another 'boy, who Is
In the rear, picks It out and puts It Into
a separate Hckct and It Anally goes up
Into the elevator. The screen room of
the breaker Is 110 feet wide, and the
main part 32 feet wide. The breaker
contains all the latest machinery. The
large rolls are 40x42 Inches In sire, the
pony rolls 36x40 and the monkey rolls
16x30 Inches. The screens are of a
combination order, one screen doing
the work of two. There are two double
center socket screens eight feet In di
ameter and twelve feet long, four single
screens six fet In diameter, and thirty
feet long, and two pairs of double
buckwheat screens eight feet In diame
ter and twenty-four feet long. One set
of elevators, the buckets being 12x18
feet. There are 180 feet of conveyors un
der the. breaker for taking screenings.
Coming down from the breaker we And
ourselves on the Arst platform, where
cars are' loaded with buckwheat coal
and taken to the Are room. The culm
blower formerly used has - been done
away, with, and a plan with- - double
track take Ita place. - The tracks
leading from the. breaker to tha plan
work automatically, thus doing away
with the aei vices of mules. As the
car come down the plane they pass
over an Iron bridge to the north end
of the breaker and the grade Is such
that the can will back-branch Itself.
Then the car will lie reloaded and pass
on out to the foot of the culm plane. The
bridge, which is of Iron, was built by
the Vulcan Iron works. The breaker
hus ben built to accommodate any !
or style of car. In the rear four coal
pockets have been built for the use of
the retail trade. There is no lack of
light, the whole building having 320
windows, of tihree panels each. The
company also has an extensive electric
light plant. The mines are lighted by
electricity, there are electric pumps
and the whole plant from top to bottom
Is lighted by this means. It requires
eighteen large boilers to keep steam
for the running of the concern. It can
be safely aald that this is one of the
most extensive mining plants to be
found in the anthracite regions."
