Mr. Hrtice tho detective mot with
no difficulties In learning wlint ho
wUhed to know regarding Mrs. An-

penred by somo unaccountnblo freak
of nature had been given emerald

lils own clioio'to go to Miss Talbcrt'
for Information nnd wns amply re-
warded. Ho was told In;ns few words
as possible nil that was known nbout
the strange lady. Finally Miss Tnl-
bert nulling to bo excused for a mo-
ment? left the room and returned al-
most Immediately with n fine hem-
stitched handkerchief with an in-
tricate embroidered design In tho cor-
ner. "And what may that be?" asked tho
puzzled detective. "Her handker-
chief?" "Yea she dropped it in the hall ns
sho went out. One of tho girls saw It
dtop nnd cnllcd to her but sho did
not hear."
"What is the name? It Is Hebrew
to me."
"Mary."
on Inward nnture. Practically It had
been suspended for nearly a week
and now affairs had taken n brisker
' Then" thought tho detective "tho
woman is not likely to bo Lcnorn and
Mrs. Hamilton may bo right. Poo's
poems nro haunting certainly; but
somehow I felt ns If this woman was
the Lcnorn of his drenm."
"Perhaps .you h.ul better sny noth-
ing about my Inquiries" ho said to
MUs Tnlbert upon leaving.
"Very well. I will remember your
caution" sho answered nnd sho
watched with somo curiosity ns ho
went down tho street nnd turned the
comer. "He is going to the bnnk"
sho tlioughl; nnd hho wns right.
Anivod there ho found that the
business being carried on was nil of
gnlt undcrtho examinations of Dank
Commissioner Winch who arrived tho
day previous. Ho was very busy but
stopped to talk with Mr. Uruco when
ho learned his errand.
"Does it appear that Mr. Hamilton
has Mod with tho funds?" asked tho
detective.
"Thero has been strango work
strange work" said tho commission-
er. "Up to a lato dato everything
seems to havo gono all right; but
slnco then affairs havo taken on a dif-
ferent aspect."
"What do you mean Mr. Winch?"
"Simply this: It developed this
morning that previous to tho twen-
"She said no her
ty-elglith of May Hamilton nltered a
note paynblo'to this bank making tho
amount fivo thousand Instead of five
hundred nnd deposited tho note with
Lho First National Hank of Hoston as
collateral for money. Whether ho
ins done so In more than this In-
stance it is Impossible to say."
'Of courso Hamilton's bondsmen
will settle."
"Yes they havo signified their read-
iness to sottle. Mr. Carter nnd Hen-
derson too say they bellevo thnt
flnrk as It looks tho. matter will clear
up."
"There must bo a foul conspiracy
back of It. thon" said tho detective.
. 'Looked nt now. It Is ns clenr a case
of dishonesty as I ever know. Still"
.recollecting himself "n now phase or
tho matter may arlso any moment.
Anything look like complicity on the
part of Osborn?" '
. "No; the prosldent found n letter
under his door this morning without
'any postmark. It relates to Osborn
A believe."-
"From Hamilton?': asked the do
tectlvc with alert gaze.
Tlo commissioner nodded. "It pu'iy
ports to be. I can't toll you what wns
In It though. Tho contents havo not
been mndo public oxcept thnt It ex-
onerates Osborn of any complicity in
tho mattor of which he might bq sus-
pected." ..
Bruco went directly to tho presi-
dent's house found him alone nnd
stated his or'rand Tho prosldont
showed him tho letter at once. It ran:
."Mr. Hastings: You nro no doubt
afraid that tho savings bank funds
aro stolon but such is not tho case
as far ns 1 know. If on making such
examination ns you doslre you find
deposits not credited In tho bnnk
books you may rest assured If I failed
to make tho entry it was n mistake
nnd if others havo dono it. I knov
npthing about It. As for Osborn he
is as honest ns tho day. I am unable
to return at present but shall do so
as soon as I can. Show this letter to
my wife."
"A curious letter" safd tho detec-
tive staring blankly at the celling.
"Yes ho must have seen tho news-
paper reports. What does tho letter
mean do jou think?"
"Thtr i t to be two rccanlnps

nnd which flatly contradict each oth-"
er. Mo throws suspicion on Osborn
nnd yet says ho Is ns honest as tho
day. If there Is any complicity on
tho clerk's part. It would bo for Ham-
ilton's interest to have him thought
Innocent On vllie other hand they
se&rn at odds. Hamilton' hints nt oth-
ers and Osborn jstateo that he saw
Hamilton oritcr Iho Ifa'nlSon the night
of tho twenty-second."
"True" said President Hastings
looking puzzled. ;"Ifis a strange case
taken in all Its aspects."
"Mr Hamilton wns.ilnoar s. s:cn
much respected."
"Ho wns nnd his wife still hns Im-
plicit trust in him."
Hemepil'ering Mrs. Hamilton's man-
ner Mr. Ilruce could not perfectly
ngrec with him but said nothing.
"You nro In her employ nro yoa
not?" asked Mr. Hastings.
"I am.' I reported to her this morn-
ing." "Did sho show you her advertise-
ment of the reward sho offers for In-
formnt'on of her husband?"
"No perhaps she thought I had seen'
It."
Tho president handed him a Jour-
nnl and pointed to tho notice. The
detective rend:
"$C00 Howard. Vano C. Hamilton
of Grovedulc N. H. has been missing
since May 10th unless as is stated
by ono person ho wns nt tho savings
bank tho twenty-second. Mr. Hnmil-
ton Is thlrty-flvo years of ago; fivo
feet ten Inches In height; weighs
about one hundred nnd fifty pounds;
has a slight swinging gait light
brown hnlr dnrk brown eyes; hns no
beard but a heavy mustache. When
ho left homo was dressed In a gray
tweed suit with sack coat a light
blnck overcoat and black Derby hat.
Tho above amount will bo paid to

returned to Grovednle N. H.
"MPS. V. C. HAMILTON.
"Correspondence should bo ad-
dressed to W. A. Hastings President
Grovednle Savings Uank"
"Hns this advertisement resulted in
any correspondence yet?" nsked tho
detective.
"A letter from Conductor Llbby
reached mo this morning."
it lay on tho desX and ho handed It
to the detective who read It attent-
ively. "There seems to havo been a
woman with htm you see" said tho
president.
"What nbout this woman? If It wns
nn elopement. Of courso Hamilton
would fight shy of recognition."
"But was It? I confess that puzzles
name was Leonora."
rao most of all for Hamilton teemed
tliqroughly .devoted to his wife nnd
she is a splendid woman. But It ap-
pears this Mrs1. Anderson or whatever
her name may b'o met him like an old
acquaintance and after stating at
tho hotel that sho was on her way to
Coatlcoko P. Q.. went tho next morn-
ing south instead of north In the samo
train with Hamilton. Bead what
Llbby says about It."
"Thoy sat together and tho woman
was talkative but Hamilton did not
say much at least when I saw them.
3ho bought a ticket on tho train to
Portland but I did not notice her
vhen I wont my last rounds. Tho last
saw of Hamilton wns at Portland
lepot. Ho did not appear to notlco
no. though I looked him full In the
face."
"Where was tho woman I wonder?"
iskod Mr. Hastings after llstonlng
to tho extract.
"That may or may1 not ''bo difficult
o lonrn" said tho 'detective rising
o leaie. Mr. Hastings aroso ajbo.
"Mr. Bruce." said hq ;'thp-noUco ns
t rends now offers but $500 reward
nit I am empowered to offer $1000
more making the sum $l.TiOO though
for the present no change will be
made iu tho wording unless you ad-
vlao it."
"f do not advlso It. A chango would
jilann Hamilton showing thnt sus-
picions hnd boen awakonod.. To show
that he Jbj thought to havo absconded
with funds of the bankJwouldalarm
him directly nnd put him boyond our
rench. But ho might even return if
ho thought nothing was suspected If
it should bo authentically stated by
you for Instance that upon examina-
tion everything had been found cor-
rect. Still ho must know the affair
of the altered noto would leak out
somo rime."
"Yes nnd there may bo crtheri of
still larger oruount Mr. hrucp."
"True. One thing nioro I wish to
ask you. Who presented the noto and
received the money ut tho Boston
bank?" . .
"Mr. Hamilton himself."
"Are you sure?"
"I havo the written word of Simon
low the qachlcsr of the bank Low
31 iv - info tc- 'Mn 'ace'"' He
known Hamilton nearly as well as
I do."
"A dark look!" i
"Couldn't look much blacker he?" '
"No; but"I am sorry for his wife"
said tho detective. "It will bo sharp
work hunting him up." &
Mr Bruce took his departure short-
ly nfterward musing deeply over tho
present developments of the mysteri-
ous affair' for exceedingly mysterious
It seemed to him. In the whole course
of his calling ho had kridwh of nothing
Hko it so puzzllnfe and complicate.;!
with what appeared to bo such adverse-matters.

teemed who for years hnd bcon guilt

though young for the position; cashier

people who worked nt his mill de-
iK.b'.ted their earnings this man it
seemed was a defaulter a forger tho
deserter of his wife and family. Worso
yet It nppeared nlso that ho had left
his wife and went away In company
with another woman though this did
not seem quite so evident.
Confirmation slight though it
might bo wns waiting nt the corner
of tho street In the person of Mlse

"I saw you" sho began directly
"when you left the bank and as I had

to set It right at once." ?
"How do you mean?"
"About the handkerchief. .a Mary
our chambermaid camo In ('soon after
you left nnd asked It sho might havo
It as it was marked with her name
and sho was the only Mary In tho'
house."
" 'I suppose you might as well have
It then I said; 'but how did you hap-
pen to know nbout ft?' " 'Oh' said
Mary '1 handed it to Mrs. Anderson
when she first came. Sho was con-
tinually dropping things and I
noticed the name. Sho asked mo
what It was and I told her Mary.
She said sho did not notlco that it
had a name on it when sho-jbought;
It.' Before she. thSught"; Mary asked
her If it wasn't her namo then and
sho said no her namo was Lenora."
Tho detective was startled out ol
his general immobility by tho interna!
workings of tho matter. A develop
ment Hko that was startling when it
would have seemed so much more
likely to havo never come to the sur-
face. Put ho managed to thank Miss
Talbert for her Information and to
say 'No wonder sho did not recog-
nize the namo herself. It looked quite
as much Hko a rosebush or a wheel-
barrow. .You gave tho handkerchief
to Mary I conclude; Mary what?"
"Mary O'Nell. Yes I gavo It to
her."

BUILT WITH SECRET DRAWER&
Hidden Compartments in All Up-to-.
dato Furniture.
Tho woman In a fashionable furni-
ture storo looked tho new sideboard
all over but seemed so Indifferent
that the salesman despaired of a sale'
Ho was preparing to accept tho usual
"will call again" when an Idea oc-
curred to him. Opening a cabinet on
the side Intended for cruet bottles ho
touched a spring. To the astonish-
ed customer was revealed a secret
drawer largo enough to bold a dozen
letters or so a bnnk book and a few
jewels. Tho salesman closed the
drawer.
"Now open it" he said to tho cus-
tomer Sho tried In vain. She nsked the
salesman to show ljer hbw. He said
he would with pleasure If she bought
tho sideboard otherwise It was
against the rules of tho house.
"This Is nn evolution of the secrel
drawers In writing desks" he said
to an onlooker "It Is not up-to-date
now to put secret compartments ic
desks. That Is the first placo anybody
looking for hidden documents Is sur
to look. But thoy never think ol
seniching in a folding bed or a dining
room sideboard. It Is the women whe
run most strongly to this freak feat
uro In furniture. A man has his fire-
proof deposit vault or a safe place it
his Office for any papers he 'wants tc
keep out of Bight. A woman seldom
has anything but a desk nt home that
is as avallablo to everybody else In
the family as It a to her. She never
knows what moment her cherished
llttlo secrets may bo uncovered and
laughed at. With such a compartment
ns tho one In that sideboard she.
need nover worry."
"Dismal Swamp" no More.
Tho famous Dismal Swamp in Vir-
ginia Is coming Into profitable cultl
vntlon. Tho first company to promote
Dismal Swamp was organized in col
oninl days. Oeorgo Washington was
one of tho promoters and tho largest
stockholder. His company owned two-
thirds of (ho 300.000 acres of the
swamp apt built a canal to float the
timber from Its 'property.
I.lttlc has been done from that
time until recently except by lumber-
men. In the days before tho war the
swamp was a popular refuge for run-
away slaves It Is Bltuated In the
southeast corner of Virginia and it
extends from a fow miles from Nor-
folk. At Its hlghost points It Is only
fifteen or twenty feet above tidewater
Its streams aro so puro that theli
wnter Is sought by vossols golni; on
long voyages.
It was long thought that the swami
was mnlarious nnd that white mer
could not llvo there the year round
This notion has beon disproved by tltr
truck farmers seeklns a cheaper land
who aro clearing up tho swamp nnd
turning It Into prosperous truck
gardens.

Profits of the Packers.
Thero has been a grent deal of dis-
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that tho profits of the-
packing Industry only amount to.
about two per cent of tho volumo ot
business transacted. Thero Is no
doubt however that the report is cor-
rect. . C
Tho census reports compiled by the-
government in 1900 before the agita-
tion regarding tho "beef trust" began
throw considerable light on this Ques-
tion. It appears from tho census that
tho packing Industry is conducted on.
a smaller margin of cross profit than
any other industry In America. Tho-
gross margin of profit of 871 flour nnd
grist mills In Illinois In tho census
j ear wns nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The1 gross
margin of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish-'
ments In Illinois was only about one-
third as large or a little more thai
two per cent on tho volumo of busi-
ness. Tho millers hnvo not been acctiFcd:
of belns In n "trust" and combina-
tions would seem Impossible In n busi-
ness where there aro several thousand1
mills In the United States compet!n3
actively for tho flour trade but It ap-
pears that tho gross profits of tho ' 1-
e.rs are larger than the gross profits
of tho packers. It may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing:
Industry will show tho samo result as
the devil found In shearing tho pig: '
