It was half after two when Earl returned to the" bank. “Well, young man, how did you find my daughter?” was reclining on a sofa in the parlor, reading, and stated that she felt easier, jl trust it is nothing serious. She appeared bright and cheerful.” I “Oh, I presume she will be as well as usual in \thq morning.” | “Here is a reply your -note, sir.” -.“Y eB , yes;” and Kellogg was soon jscanning these lines written by the widow: | “Dear Stephenr-Janeite seems ‘ nearly as well as ever.j<’l think it must hUTC been a slight attack Laura requests me tp add—‘Comuhhme early;’ and TYra; know s how willing torrid the wordq. promised wife, u “ELINOR.” The banker smiled as he placed the note in his pocket and glanced at the clock. “I am happier there than in any other spot on earth,” he thought. And at half after three he left the bank. At four o’clock, Philip Elsworth, one of the trusted Union Express agents, entered the bank, and porter Lockwood locked the doors. “You are on time, Mr. Elsworth,” said Terry. “I am just ready to make up the package.” r “All right. I will stand at the window while yon run over the bills. I guess I .can keep track of them.” “Oh, yes, I will give you plenty of time. You would hardly care to receipt for a pig in a box or for wild cat money; but there is none here; the bills are all standard.” “I am sure of that,” said Elsworth; “but duty is duty. Go ahead!” The cashier placed several packages of bills on the table back of Ih&.iyindow and shelf abdvts f# Wtmie theJißeiit could readily aeaa eaeitbiH. He ran them, laying them aside in onofethbusand dollar lots, checking the from the sghedule he had made out, as He proceeded. .

K.,” 'safd' the agent. “Make up your package.” .i Terry hastily pinned a narrow strip of white paper around each one thousand dollar lot, marked on this strip with his pencil, “$1,000,” under the figures placed the initials of his name, and with the aid of a heavy sheet of manilla paper and a strong cord, the twenty packages were soon converted into one. Earl all this time had been standing at his desk scarcely four feet distant, apparently running over some columns of figures and paying no attention to the work that was going on at his elbow. On the upper left hand corner of the package, Mr. Terry placed the figures “$20,000.” “One minute more,” he said," “until I label it;” and turning, he approached the open vault, leaving the package on the table. -“I will be making out the receipt,” observed the agent. “I cannot find —oh, yes, here they are!” And the cashier soon came forward with a printed slip to one side of which he applied mucilage, then pressed it down on the center of the package before him. The outer surface of the slip bore in printed letters these words: “Central Bank, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.” “There you are, Mr. Elsworth,” said the cashier, placing the package in the window. “Here is your receipt,” and the agent passed from the bank aB the porter opened the door, “It is five o’clock,” said Terry presently. “Mr. Sloan,” he continued, speaking to the bookkeeper, who had been posting his ledger at a desk facing the front windows, at some distance away, “are you through for to-night? It is beginning to rain. I thought the clouds that have been above us all day would empty their cargo by night.” “I have just finished my work,” Sloan said, closing the ledger. “Well, if you will bring forward your books we will soon be on the outside of the bank. Wait for me, Earl; I promised Laura to take tea with her to-night.” “Luckily I have my rubber coat here,” said Earl. “It may save me a drenching.” Ten minutes later the bank was closed and four men under umbrellas were hastening' itfway. A block from the bank a patrol wagon dashed by them. “A case of drunk and disorderly somewhere,” observed Earl. “Yes, if nothing worse,” said Terry. After crossing the Chicago river, Sloan »nd the porter turned west, while Earl and the cashier passed on their way to the banker’s residence. It was 5:30 when they entered the door. Earl proceeded at once to his room, not stopping in the hall to remove his rain ebat. ‘ « i Laura hkd met the twb young men, and she, with Terry, entered the,parlor, where they found Janette yet reclining i©n the sofa and her father seated beside her with an anxious expression on hiss's ° ~ “Oh, there is no necessity of sending for the doctor, papa; I feel sure that I shall be quite restored by to-morrow. The presence of a physician would make me nervous,” were the words she was saying as the lovers entered the room. “Well, dear, I will listen to you for tonight,” said Mr. Kellogg; “but unless you are entirely recovered by that time, I will summon Dr. Hewit.” “I think you should, papa,” remarked Laura. "I may be needlessly alarmed, but I am much concerned about Janette.”

Did he regain consciousness? Surely he was not killed?” “As I stated, he was found in the alley in an unconscious condition. Exactly how long he. had lain there, we, as yet, are unable to state.” *- “Certainly not more than five minutes,” declared Inspector Hunt. “But who discovered him?” asked the banker. - - “On account of the rain,” said the inspector, “there were few people on the streets, and they were hurrying along under umbrellas—none passing through that alley. A clerk in a real estate office, going oUt by the back door, found the body in the; alley. < “He>ht first supposed it to ease of drunk and down,’ but on closer inspection, recognized Elsworth, who he knew to he one of the collecting agents for the Union Express. He at once gave the alai-m, summoned a police officer, and notified the express company officials.” “Elsworth was borne to a convenient drug store. Mr. Andrews, Dr. Thorp and myself arrived there not five minutes later. A blow on the back of the head had knocked the collector senseless. The doctor applied restoratives and he revived sufficiently to state that on account of the rain he was taking the shortest cut through the alley to the express office with a twenty thousand dollar package. “He stated that only the cashier, the teller, the bookkeeper and porter were in the bank when the package was made up; also that he was not aware of being watched either on his entrance to the bank or egress from the same. ~ “He was assaulted from the rear.

When he Is angry he tajte i bis gray chin whiskers with his fingers and his eyes blaze. When a guflfy. maja stood in the presence of Washington he j felt the very marrow in his bones cougehl before that, cold, ealm; august presence and the eyes of the getrerdl seemed looking at him from some grand height to-eantemplate his littleness. Be,fore Gomez the culprit feels the .fiery eyes of his chief burn into him and t brand him. Gomez is below the average height nd not Impressive, but he has a trange magnetism about him which draws good men to him and makes brave men die for him. When that little dried-up old man Appears among’a group.of officers there i* bo need to ask # who is master. His personality IS compelling and attractive. He was passionately attached to his boy, Francisco., who died with Maced; Fanchito was .the General’s nickname'' for his son, and when the boy insisted on leaving New York and going to take his place in the ranks of Cuba the old’ man would- not say him nay, but Insisted that he go to fight with Maceo, fearing that if “Panchito” were serving In his own command it would make him think in battle for the safety of hla son whom he should have his mind onlyon the affairs of Cuba. His 1b a strong and remarkable character, who has won the love of his followers and the admiration of "bis foes. ' His is the character of a knight who ha* seldom been able to lay off his armor, and through good and evil fortune has kept that armor bright. At 62 years of age his eye is as bright, his form as erect, his capacity for enduring the hardships of a campaign as great .as when he was a young lieutenant, swearing the uniform of Spain, u Gomez belongs to an old Spanish family who settled In Bani, Santo Domingo. In that town'he was born. As a lieutenant he served in the Spanish army during Spain’s last occupation of bis native country; When the revolution of 1863, which finally drove: the Spaniards out of Santo Domingo, broke, out, Gomez decided to no longer fight against his countrymen. He hard seen all the cruelty and futility Of Spanish rule and doffed the ttnlform of Spain forever. He went to Cuba and settled down As. a planter. When the ten years! war broke out he east in Ms* lot- with the Cubans and fought until the restoration of peace. In April, 1895, Chba again called to him and iie'heard the cry. His intention Is never to lay doWn the sword, until ( Cuba is free. from Spanish rate. ' ' ( .
