(Copyright, 1802. by Daily Story Pub. Co.)
"A number of years ago, while traci
ng the movement of a registered pack
age that had been lost In the malls,”
said the old secret service man, “I
missed train connections and was
forced to lay over for several hours in
one of the cities in a certain southern
state. So, as the local postmaster was
v personal friend of mine. I called upon
him.
“While we were conversing In his
private office a young man entered and
the postmaster presented him to me as
his chief clerk. I have reasons for not
revealing his identity, even at this late
date, so I will give him the incorrect
name of James Bradford.
“As a matter of course I prefer, at
all times, that my profession should
be hidden from the public and especial
ly from government employes, but, un
thinkingly, my friend introduced me
on tills occasion as a member of the
secret service.
l was looking Keenly into the young
man's eyes and noticed him start and
tremble. But he immediately regain
ed his composure and offered me his
hand, which I clasped warmly.
"I knew at once that his was a guilty
conscience. A thousand thoughts
flashed through my mind. I tried to,
in some way, associate him with the
case upon which 1 was working, but
I could not do so since the missing
package could not have passed through
his hands.
"At this moment the postmaster was
called from the room and I immediate
ly determined to test the young man's
nerve to the utmost. So I arose and
■dosed the door. Then I turned to him.
Sit down,’ I said. ‘I wish to talk with
you.’
"I watched his face closely. I saw
it grow suddenly scarlet, then pale,
and I noticed that he clasped, the arms
of the chair so tightly that the nails
were forced into the wood.
“But I was at a loss how to proceed.
That he was guilty of some criminal
act I felt assured from bis agitation,
but I had absolutely r.o theory upon
which to work.
“Determined to unravel the mystery
upon which I had so accidentally
stumbled, I felt disposed to allow him
to nurse the evident fear that I was
In possession of certain facts regarding
the crime he trad committed, whatever
it might be. Yet, so far as possible, I
desired to disabuse his mind of any
thought that I suspected his connec
tion with it. So, drawing a chair in
front of him, I laid my hand upon his
knee and said, in a confidential tone:
“ ‘Mr. Bradford, it is true that I am
an agent of the secret service. But I
beg that you will do me the kindness
to keep that fact to yourself. I am
here to investigate certain irregular
ities in this office and, since you know
my mission, you may be of vast as
sistance to me.’
"He promised to do my bidding, but
while he seemed somewhat assured it
was plain to see he was ill at ease.
Then I dismissed him.
"When the postmaster returned wo
continued our conversation. Present
ly 1 referred to the business of the of
fice and casually expressed a desire to
see the last statement of the postof
fice inspector. My friend brought me
i copy. It was dated but ten days pre
viously and the accounts of the office
were certified to as being apparently
correct. -
“ ‘That is a good showing,’ said I.
‘Who handles the funds of the office?’
“ ‘Mr. Bradford,’ he replied.
“ ‘Is he married?’
“ ‘Yes. He has an estimable wife
and a beautiful baby boy.’
“ ‘ReliaL.c man, I suppose?’ said I.
“ ‘Perfectly. There is not a dishon
orable hair in his head. He’s been em
ployed in the office six years.’
"The young man’s reputation cer
tainly seemed good, but I determined
to shadow him. I did so. Without
arousing suspicion 1 watched his every

“Sit down,” I said.
movement during the remainder of the
day. I learned that he was alone in
the office from six o’clock in the even
ing until it closed at nine, and that it
was he who placed all the stamps and
cash in the vault before closing for the
night.
I “While idly inspecting the office dur
ing the afternoon I discovered a knot
hole in the board ceiling. The second
floor of the building was divided into
office rooms, and I found that the par
ticular room, the floor of which con
tained the knot-hole, was empty. I
obtained the key under pretense of ex
amining the room with a view to rent
ing.
“To my delight I found that I could
secure a good view of the postofflce by
looking through the hole. So I rented
the room, making a small payment.
“That evening, from six o’clock un
ui *!ne, I lay ou the floor with ray eye I
to the hole, watching Hradford.
" During the entire time he appeared
nervous and excited. In moments of
leis.ire he would stare absently at the
wall cr at his desk, every feature of
his face marked with despair and
wretchedness.
"Finally the hour for closing arrived.
I saw him lock the outside door; I saw
him place the stamps in the vault and
return with the money box, filled with
bills and coin; I saw him count the
small change that was in the money
drawer in the desk; I saw Jilm make
a note of the amount and enter it in
a book.
"Then he glanced around the room,
apprehensively, frightened, a wild look
in his eyes and perspiration on his
brow.
“Suddenly he set his jaws together
determinedly and with feverish haste
filled his pockets with the bills and
silver. When he had emptied the box
he placed it back in the vault and
closed and locked the door. Then he
advanced a few steps and paused.
“What thoughts must have passed
through his mind at that moment as
he stood upon the threshold between
honor and disgrace! Never before nor
He gazed at it in silence.
since have I seen such agony on a hu
man face as I saw then.
"Presently he staggered to his desk
and picked up a baby’s photograph.
For a few brief moments he paz.d at 1
in silence. Then he pressed it to his
lips and. turning, reopened the vault,
took the money from his pocket, placed
it back in the box and locked the door.
On his face was a bright gleam as of a
great happiness and up from the
depths of my heart there surged a cry,
‘God bless him!’
“With a smile on his face he turned
out the light and I hurried from my
hiding place. I met him at the door.
He was startled when he recognized
me, but I held out my hand.
“ ‘Bradford,’ said I, pressing his
hand in mine, 'you couldn’t do it, could
you?’
" ’No,’ he said, a tremor in his voice,
’I couldn’t do it; I couldn’t break my
wife’s heart and bring everlasting dis
grace upon my baby boy.’
“ ‘Now, my boy,' said I, kindly,
‘don’t turn back. Tell me the rest—
perhaps I can help you.’
“He looked me in the eye a moment.
Then he said:
I wm trust you, sir. 1 nave ueen
too extravagant in my living and have
used about $500 of tbe office funds. I
did not intend to steal; 1 expected to
make it good, hut I do not see how I
can. I decided to run away, but I
can’t do it, sir; I can’t do it.’
"I rested my hand on his shoulder.
’Bradford,’ said I, ’I believe you are
honest at heart, it is not too late
to rectify your mistake. Go home now
and go to bed. In the morning I will
see what can be done.’
He looked at me with tears in his
eyes. ‘Thank you, sir,’ he said.
“Well,” continued the old secret
service man, after a pause, "I told the
postmaster everything, but secured a
promise from him to give Bradford
another chance. Between us we made
up the deficit, taking Bradford's notes.
These notes were paid long since and
to-day Bradford is holding an import
ant government position and is entire
ly trustworthy. As I had not been de
tailed upon the case. I made no report
of it, but I have always been thankful
that 1 missed my train that morning.”
To Care the Stammering Habit.
A new method of curing the stam
mering habit is being advocated. It is
based upon the alleged fact that stam
merers rarely if ever show any im
pediment of speecii when talking in a
whisper. What may be called the;
“whisper cure” is as follows, says the
New York Press: For the first ten
days the stuttering person is not al
lowed to speak at all. This allows rest
for the vocal cords and is the first
stage in the cure. After ton solid days
of absolute silence the patient is al
lowed to speak, but only in a whisper.
He generally is kept in this second
stage for a space of fifteen days, some
times more, sometimes less, according
to the severity of his case. After the
whisper period is passed, the patient
is allowed gradually to increase his
tone of voice until a conversational
one is reached. This is the most criti
cal period of the cure, and the transi
tion from the whisper to the conver
sational tone must be very gradual.
There is certainly one thing to be said
for the new cure: it does not cost any
thing, and any stammerer can try it
for himself without calling in a medi
cal adviser. The only objection might
be that the preliminary ten days of
silence might interfere with the pa
tient’s prosecuting his usual business.
He might, however, try it when on his
next vacation.

i Farmers, Here Is Our Proposition: i
k We buy farm separator cream from farmers located anywhere J
& within 500 miles of Omaha. We guarantee to pay for the butter-fat A
% above the ruling prices paid at local creameries or skimming ata- A
S tions. For the past six months we have paid 20 to 25 cents per »
JP pound, at local railroad stations, for butter-fat. We receive the 9
35 cream at the railway station in Omaha; there is no charge for dray
age. We return your empty cans the same day, without any expense
4U to you. We pay the freight both ways. We weigh each can of C
S cream accurately before opening, on arrival. Samples are then ^F
1® taken and a careful test made with the Babcock Test to determine 9
jy the amount of butter-fat. We send you a statement each week and £
9 a check in full payment for all cream shipped during preceding week. ^
