Montague Smith, cashier of the Lawreneevllle Bank A Trust Co., young society leaders, popular bachelor engaged to marry Verda Rlchlander, heiress, and destined to b one of the town's leading citi zens, became Innocently Involved In a dishonest bank loan. Watrous Dunham, president of the bank, tried to shift the blame to Smith, who refused to be the scapegoat. When Dunham drew a pistol to threaten him, Smith struck the president a blow over the heart and left him for dead. t CHAPTER II Continued. Good Judges on the working floor of Axe Lnwroncovillo Athletic club lind laid of tho well-muscled young bonk cashier that lio did not know his own strength. It wns tho sight of the pistol that maddened hiui and put tho driving force behind tho smashing blow that landed upon tho big man's chest. Tho lifted pistol dropped from Sir. Watrous Dunham's grasp nnd ho wilted, settling back Into his chair, nnd then slipping to tho floor. In a flash Smith know what he had done. Once, ono evening when he had been Induced to put on the gloves with tho Athletic club's trainer, ho had con trived to plant a body blow which had sent tho wiry llttlo Irishman to the mat, gasping and fighting for tho broath of life. "If ever yez'il bo glvln' a man that heart-punch wld th' bare flsht, Misthcr Montygue, 'tis you fr th' fa8ht train wldout shtoppln' to buy anny ticket It'll bo murthcr In the first degree," tho trainer had said, when ho had breath to compass the saying. With tho unheeded warning resur gent and clamoring in his ears, Smith knelt horror-stricken bcsldo tho fallen man. On tho president's heavy face and In tho staring eyes thcro wns a foolish smile, as of one mildly aston ished. Smith loosened tho collar around tho thick neck nnd laid his ear upon tho spot whero tho blow had fallen. Tho big man's heart had stopped like a smashed clock. Smith got upon his feet, turned off tho electric light, nnd, from mcro forco of hnbit, closed and snap-locked tho president's desk. Tho watchman had not yet returned. Smith saw tho empty chair bcsldo tho vault door as ho passed It on his way to the street. Tho cashier's only thought was to go at onco to police headquarters nnd glvo himself up. Then ho remembered how carefully tho trap had been set, and how impos8lblo It would bo for him to make any reasonable defense. With ono glance over his shoulder nt tho darkened front windows of tho bank, Smith began to run, not toward tho pollco station, but in tho opposito direction toward tho railroad' station. For J. Montague Smith, slipping from shadow to shadow down the scantily lighted cross street and listening mo mentarily for tho footfalls of pursuit, a new hour had struck. It wus all prodigiously Incredible. Tho crowding sensntlonB were terrifying, but they were also precious, In their way. Long forgotten bits of brutality nnd tyranny on Watrous Dunham's part camo up to bo remembered and, in this rctrlbutivo aftermnth, to bo triumphantly crossed off as items in an account flnnlly set tled. On the Smith sldo tho bank cash ier's forebears nnd been plodding farm , era, but old John Montague had been tho vlllogo blacksmith and n soldier a shrewd smltcr in both trades. Blood Smith Knew What He Had Done. Mil tell. Parental iroplantlngs may huvo much to say to tho fruit of tho womb, but atavism has more. Smith's Jaw came up with a snap, no was no longer an indlstlngulshablo unit in tho ranks of tho respectablo and tho well behaved ; ho was a man fleeing for his life. What was done wns done, and tho next thing to do was to avert tho consequences. At the railroad station a few early comers for tho west-bound passenger train due nt ten o'clock wero ulrcady gathering, nnd at tho bidding f a cer tain new nnd militant craftiness Smith avoided tho lighted waiting rooms as If they held tho pestilence. A string of box cars had been pushed up from tho freight-unloading platforms recently, and In Uie shadow, of tho cars ho worked bit way westward to tho yard - REAL By FRANCIS LYNDE (Copyright by Qiu. ScribtMr't Sow) where n night switching crew was mak ing up a train. Keeping to tho shadows, he walked back nlong tho lino of cars on tho make-up track, alertly seeking his op portunity. Ilnlf-way down tho length of tho train ho found what ho wns looking for: n box car with its sldedoor hasped but not locked. With n bit of stick to lengthen his reach, ho unfas tened tho hasp, and nt tho switching crew's addition of another car to the "make-up" ho took advantage of tho nolso mado by tho Jangling crash and slid tho door. Then ho ascertained by groping Into the dark Interior ,that the car was empty. With a foot on tho truss-rod ho climbed In, and nt tho next coupling crash closed tho door. CHAPTER III. The High Hill. The Nertda through freight was two hours Mate issuing from tho western portal of Tlmanyonl canon. Through the early mountain-climbing hours of the night and the later flight across tho Red desert, tho dusty, travel-grimed young fellow in the empty box car mid way of tho train had slept soundly, with tho hard car floor for a bed and his folded coat for a pillow. But tho sudden cessation of tho crash and roar of tho shut-In mountain passage awoke him and he got up to open the door and look out. It was still no later than a lazy man's breakfast time, and the May morning was perfect. Over tho top of tho east ern rango the sun was looking, level rayed, into a parked valley bounded on all sides by high spurs and distant snow peaks. In its nearer reaches tho valley wns dotted with round hills, some of them bare, others dark with mountain pino and flr. From the outer lootings of tho curves, tho young tramp at tho car door had momentary glimpses of tho Tlmanyonl, a mountain torrent In Its canon, and tho swiftest of upland riv ers even hero whero It had tho valley In which to expand. A Copah switch man had told him that tho railroad di vision town of Browster lay at tho end of tho night's run, In n river valley be yond tho eastern Tlmanyonls, nnd that tho situation of tho irrigation project which was advertising for laborers In tho Denver newspapers was a few miles up tho river from Brewster. As tho train swept along on its way down tho grades tho valley becamo moro open nnd tho prospect broadened. At ono of tho promontory roundlngs the box-car passenger had a glimpse of a shack-built construction camp on tho river's margin some dlstanco on ahead. A concrete dnm was rising in sections out of tho river, and dominat ing the dam nnd tho shacks two steel towers, with n carrying cnblo stretched between them, formed tho piers of tho ner,lnl spout conveyer for tho placing of tho material In tho forms. Tho train made no stop nt tho con struction siding, but a mllo farther along tho brakes began to. grind nnd tho speed wns slackened. Sliding tho car door another foot or two, tho young trump with the week-old stubblo beard on his faco leaned out to look nlicnd. Ills opportunity was nt hand. A block scmnphoro wns turned ngnlnst tho freight nnd tho train was slowing In obedienco to tho signal. Waiting until tho brakes shrilled again, tho tramp put his shoulder to tho Blldlng door, sat for a moment In tho wider opening, and then swung off. His alighting was upon ono of tho promontory embankments. To tho westward, whero tho curving railroad track was lost in tho farther windings of tho river, lay the llttlo interraoun tain city of Browster, a few of its higher buildings showing clear-cut In tho dlstanco. Paralleling tho railroad, on a lower level nnd nenrcr tho river, a dusty wagon road pointed In ono di rection toward tho town, and In tho other toward tho construction camp. Tho young man who had crossed four states and tho better part of a fifth ns a fugitive nnd vagrant turned his back upon tho distant town as a placo to bo avoided. Scrambling down tho rail road embankment, ho mado his way to tho wagon road, crossed it, and kept on until ho camo to the f ringo of aspens on tho river's edge, whero ho broko all tho trnmpish traditions by stripping off tho travel-worn clothes and plunging In to take a soaplcss bath. The water, being melted snow from tho range, was icy cold and it stabbed llko knives. Nevertheless, It was wet, and sorao part of tho travel dust, at least, was soluble In It. IIo camo out glowing, bu a thorn from his well-groomed past came upand pricked him when ho hnd to put the soiled clothea on again. MAN There wns no present help for that, however; and flvo minutes later he had regained tho road and was on his way to tho ditch camp. As ho walked he rend for the fiftieth time something on tho page of a recent St. Louis paper. It was under flaring headlines: ATTEMPTED MURDER OF BANK PRE8IDENT. 8oclety-Leader Cashier Embezzles $100,000 and Makes Murderous As sault on President Lawreneevllle, May 16. J. Montague Smith, cashier of the Lawrcncevlllo Bank and Trust company, and a loador In tho Lawreneevllle younger set. Is today a fu gitive from Justice with a price on his head. At a late hour last night tho watchman of tho bank found President Dunham lying unconsclou in front of his desk. Help was summoned, and Mr. Dun ham, who was supposed to bo suffering from soma sudden attack of Illness, was taken to his hotel. Later, It transpired that tho president had been tho victim of a murderous assault. Discovering upon his return to the city yesterday evening that tho cashier had been using tho bank's run as in an attempt to cover a stock spec ulation of his own, Dunham sent for Smith and charged him with the crime. Smith made an unprovoked and deeperato assault upon his superior officer, beating him Into Insensibility and leaving him for dead. Slnco It la known that he did not board any of tho night trains east or west, Smith Is supposed to bo In hiding some where In the vicinity of the city. A war rant Is out, and a reward of 11,000 for his arrest and detention has beon offered by the bank. It Is not thought possible that he can escape. It was currently reported not long since that Smith was engaged to a prominent young society woman of Lawreneevllle, but this has proved to bo untrue. Ho folded tho newspaper and put it In his pocket Tho thing wns done, nnd It could not bo undone. Having put himself on the wrong side of tho law, there was nothing for It now but a complete disappearance; exile, a chango of Identity, and an absolute severance with his past. When ho had gone a llttlo distance he found that the wagon rood crossed tho right of way twlco before the con struction camp came Into view. Tho last of tho crossings was at tho tem porary material yard for which tho sldo track had been Installed, nnd from this point on, tho wagon road held to tho river bank. Tho ditch people wero doubtless getting all their material over tho railroad so there would bo llt tlo hauling by wagon. But there were automobile tracks In tho dust, and shortly nftcr ho had passed tho mate rial yard tho tramp heard a car com ing up behind him. It was a six-cylinder roadster, nnd Its motor was miss ing badly. Its single occupant was n big, beard ed man, wearing his gray tweeds as ono to whom clothes wero merely a convenience. Ho was chewing a black cigar, and the unoccupied sldo of his mouth wns busy at the passing moment heaping objurgations upon tho limp ing motor. A hundred yards farther along tho motor gavo n spasmodic gasp and stopped. When tho young tramp camo up, tho big man had climbed out nnd had tho hood open. What ho was saying to tho stalled motor wns pic turesque enough to make tho young man stop nnd grin appreciatively. "Gone bad on you?" ho inquired. Col. Dexter Baldwin, tho Tlmanyonl's largest landowner, nnd a breeder, of flno horses who tolerated motorcars only because they could bo driven hard nnd wero insensate nnd fit subjects for nbuslvo language, took his head out of tho hood. "Tho third tlmo this morning," ho snapped. "I'd rather drivo a team of wind-broken mustangs, any day in tho year i" "I used to drive a car n whllo back," Bald tho tramp. "Let mo look her over." Tho colonel stood aside, wiping his hands on a piece of waste, whllo tho young man sought for tho trouble. It wob found presently la n loosened mngnoto wlro; found and cleverly cor rected. Tho tramp went nround in front nnd spun tho motor, nrul when it had been throttled down, Colonel Bald win had his hand In his pocket. "That's something like," ho said. "Tho garago man said it was carbon. You tnko hold as if you knew how. What's your fee?" Tho tramp shook his head and smiled good-naturedly. "Nothing; for a bit of neighborly help llko that" Tho colonel put his coat on, and In tho act took n better mcasuro of the stalwart young fellow who looked llko a hobo and talked and behaved llko a gentleman. "You nro hiking out to tho dam?" ho asked brusquely. "I am headed that way, ys," was tho equally crisp rojolnder, "Hunting a Job?" "Just thnt" "What sort of a Jobr "Anything that may happen to be In Bight" "That means a pick and shovel or a wheelbarrow on a construction Job. But thcro Isn't much office work." Tho tramp looked up quickly, "What makes you think I'm hunting for an olllco Job?" ho queried. "Your hands," Bald tho colonel shortly. Tho young man looked at his hands thoughtfully. They were dirty again from the tinkering with the motor, hut tho inspection went deeper thnn the grime. "I'm not afraid of the pick and shovel, or the wheelbarrow, nnd on some accounts I guess they'd be good for me. But on the other hnnd, per haps it Is a pity to spoil n middling good office man to mnke nn Indifferent day-laborer to say nothing of knock ing some honest fellow out of tho only Job ho knows how to do." Colonel Baldwin swung In behind the steering wheel of the roadster and held a fresh match to tho black cigar. Though he was from Missouri, he had lived long enough In the high hills to know better thnn to Judge any man altogether by outside appearances. j'Cllrnb In," he snld, indicating the vacant sent nt his side. "I'm tho pres ident of tho ditch company. Perhaps Wllllnms mny be nble to use you ; but your chnnccs for office work would be ten to one In the town." "I don't care to live In the town," snld the man out of work, mounting to tho proffered sent; and past that the big rondster leaped nwny up the rond nnd the roar of tho rejuvenated raotoi made further speech Impossible. CHAPTER IV. Wanted A Financier. It was a full fortnight or moro after this motor-tlnkcrlng Incident on the hill road to tho dam, when Williams, chief engineer of the ditch project, met President Baldwin In the Brewster of fices of the ditch company and spent n i Iiik. "I Used to Drive a Car." busy hour with tho colonel going over tho contractors' estimates for the month in prospect. In nn Interval of tho business talk, Baldwin remembered the good-looking young tramp who had wanted a Job. "Oh, yes; I knew there wns some thing else that I wanted to ask you," he said. "How about the young fellow that I unloaded on you a couple of weeks ngo? Did he make good?" "Whc-Smltb?" "Yes ; If that's his name." Tho engineer's left eyelid had a quiz zical droop when ho said dryly: "It's tho name ho goes by In camp; 'John Smith.' I haven't asked him his other nnme." Tho ranchman-president matched the drooping eyelid of unbelief with n sober smile. "I thought ho looked at If ho might be out hero for his health like a good many other fellows who have no particular use for a doctor. How Is ho making it?" The engineer, a hard-bitted man with tho prognathous lower Jaw characteriz ing the tribe of those who accomplish things, thrust hts'hnnds Into his pock ets nnd walked to tho window to look down Into tho Brewster street When ho turned to face Baldwin again, It was to sny : "That young fellow Is n won der, colonel. I put him into the quarry at first, ns you suggested, and In three days ho had revolutionized things to tho tune of a 20 per cent saving In pro duction costs. Then I gavo him n hack nt the concrete-mixers, and he's mak ing good again in the cost reduction. That seems to bo his specialty." Tho president nodded and was suf ficiently Interested to follow up what had been merely a cusual inquiry. "What nro you calling him now? a betterment engineer? You know your first guess was that ho was somebody's bookkeeper out of a Job." Williams wagged his head. "no's n three-cornered puzzle to me, yot no isn't nn engineer, but when you drag n bunch of cost money up tho trail, ho goes nfter it llko a dog nftcr d rabbit. I'm not nnxious to loso him, but I really beltevo you could make better uso of him hero in tho town of fice thnn I can on tho Job." Baldwin was shaking his head dubi ously. The young ex-tramp soon finds that his services are very much In demand, despite the fact that he la suspected of trying to hide his past (TO BE CONTINUED.) Had Her Reasons. They wero discussing church nffalrt when Mary camo homo from school, and Aunt Maria remarked "llttlo pitch ers have big cars," and the conversa tion stopped. A few days afterward tho minister camo to tea and gave somo of his attention to Mary. "Do you llko to go to church?" ho asked. "No," answered Mary, very firmly but politely. "Ai d why not my little dear?" "Oh," snld Mary, with a smile, "llttlo pitchers bavo big ears," very much to the surprise of her mother and Aunt Maria, who colored consciously, and the minister changed ta conversation. MmtWIONAL SMfSOiOOL Lesson (By K. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of tho Sunday School Course In the Moody Bible Instftuto of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1817, Wtstern Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 24 THE PURP08E OF JOHN'S GOSPEL (REVIEW READ JOHN 21:15-25.) REVIEW-Read John 21:15-25. GOLDEN TEXT Theso nro written, that you might believe that Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of Qod; and that behov ing yo might havo llfo through his name. John 20:31. Thcro nro n variety of methods to bo followed In reviewing tho work of tho past six months nnd to glvo va riety. Teachers of classes, or super intendents of schools, may select ono or combine several, ns their Judgment dictates. Of course, tho easiest way is to procure n good speaker who Is fnmillnr with tho Gospel of John nnd tho lessons of tho past quarter, and let him bring out in tho review its most outstanding nnd salient features. Ono method would bo to havo one mlnuto talks either by members of tho clnss or persons selected from tho school. Each of twelvo scholars could bo assigned one minute, each to havo ono of tho lessons of tho past quar ter. Another good wny would bo to tnko tho outstanding and significant verses from tho lessons of tho quarter, not tho golden text, but verses which seem to cmphnslzo the outstanding features of the six months' work. "Behold tho Lamb of God," (Ch. 1:30): "Yo must bo born again," (3 :7) ; "Como seo a man which told me all things that ever I did; Is not this the Christ?" (4:20) : "Verily, verily I say unto you, ho that hcareth my word and belleveth on him that sent me, hnth everlasting life and shall not como Into condemnation but is passed from death vito life," (5: 24). "I must work tho works of him that sent mo whllo it is day ; the night cometh when no man can work." Another method of review would bo, particularly In tho adult classes, to havo each lesson with its present-day emphasis. For Instance, the past quar ter: Lesson 1 Tho Christian in his dealing with blindness. Lesson 2 Modern wonders of healing and medi cal missions. Lesson 3 Tho shep herding of church members. Lesson 4 Do we know how to give? Lesson 5 Is Christ supremo in our national life? Lesson O Ambition nnd its cure. Lesson 7 Tho world's good springing from Christ. Lesson 8 Temperanco reform. Lesson 0 Tho Holy Spirit in everyday life. Lesson 10 How Christ Is bctiayed nnd denied today. Lesson 11 The uplifting power of the cross. Lesson 12 Why men believe In im mortality. A good method of review would bo to havo someono take up each of tho golden texts, announcing It In advance that pupils may bo prepared for this method. Tho teacher would write tho texts of tho quarter, each on a sepa rate piece of cardboard, and lay them faco down on a table; pupils would then draw tho golden texts, ono at a time, and tell what tho lesson Is to which this text belongs, giving as full an account of tho lesson as possible, the teacher helping out with questions where necessnry. It will be of great value to tho pu pils If they can get In -this review a clear outlino of the main events of Christ's last weeks upon earth, cov ered particularly by tho past quarter. There are forty standing events of tho past quaitcrs: (1) Tho healing of the man born blind ; (2) Jesus tho good Shepherd; (3) Jesus sending forth tho seventy; (4) Jesus In Boron; (5) Tho raising of Lazarus; (fl) Tho ten lep ers healed ; (7) Bartlmneus at Jericho ; (8) Jesus visits Zaccheus; (0) Jesus anointed by Mary; (10) Tho flg tree; (11) Triumphal entry; (12) Cleaning tho temple; (13) Weeping over Jeru salem; (14) Tho widow's mlto; (IS) Tho Greeks seek Jesus ; (10) Prepara tion for tho passover; (17) Washing tho disciples' .feet; (18) Tho Lord's supper; (10) Tho farewell discourse; (20) The farowell prayer; (21) Tho agony in Gethscmano; (22) Judas bo trays Jesus; (23) Tho arrest of Je sus; (24) Peter denies Jesus; (25) Jesus before Ananias; (20) Jesus be fore Calphas; (27) Jesus before tho Sanhcdrln; (28) Tho mocking of Jo bus; (20) Jesus before Pllato; (30) Jesus before Herod; (31) Pilate con demns Jesus; (32) Tho sorrowful wait; (33) Tho crucifixion; (34) Tho seven last words; (35) Jesus dies; (80) Burial; (87) Resurrection; (38) Appears to Mary; (80) Appearance during tho forty days; (40) Tho as cension. ' As brought out heretofore, John sets forth tho purpose of this Gospel ; namely, that "Jesus Is tho Christ, tho Son of God, and that believing on him wo might have everlasting life, eternal life In his name." (Seo golden text). A Suggestion. In setting forth this review, let us not as teachers and officers, overlook tho opportunity wo havo of calling from our scholars an expression of tho faith that has been born within them. (Seo Bom. 10:0, 10). Jesus tho light of tho world has power to set men frco from sin and "whom tho son shall mako free is frco Indeed." If wo properly set him before our scholars, they will be mado free from tho slav ery of sin and enter into tlto freedom of believers. True faith is built upon facts; those who accept and bellcvo theso facts will have everlasting life. BUSINESS GOOD IN QANADA No Financial Depression, and None Since the War Began. A well-known correspondent of an important Western dnlly paper recen ly tnnde nn extended visit to WcBtei Cnnndn. nnd In Humming up the re sults, after going thoroughly Into con ditions there, says there Is no financial depression In Cnnndn, nor has there been nnythlng of the sort since tho wnr began. Anyone who has watched tho bnrometer of trade, and seen the bank clearings of tho different cities grow nnd continue to grow will hnvo arrived nt the same conclusion. The trade statistics rcvenl n like sltuntlon. The progress thnt the fnrmers nro making Is highly satisfactory. As this correspondent says: "It Is true there hnve been adaptations to meet new conditions nnd tnxes have been re vised, und that n very lnrgo bnrden of lidded expense In many lines hns been nssumed, but It hns all been done me thodically, carefully nnd with fr gnrd for the resources to be called on. "That this has been done fnlrly nnd wisely Is proved by the present com fortable financial position. "With the excepllon of n restricted, aren In the east, Cnnndn Is not nn In dustrial country. The greater portion of the Dominion must be clnsscd as ngrlculturnl nrcn, with only nn Infini tesimal part of It fully developed. "Lacking complete development, the ngrlculturnl portion of Cnnnda has nnturally placed its main dependence upon fewer resources than would be the case In tho States. Even in peace times, business would Ik: subject to more frequent nnd wider fluctuations, due to tho nnrrower foundation upon which It rests. "Thus, Canada hns been able to come up to the wnr with efficiency nnd sufficiency nnd to maintain nnd even ndvnnce Its civilian activities. "Canada's first element of flnnnclnl strength lay in Its branch bank Bfc tem. This system hns two great ad vantnges: it mnkes the financial sources of the Dominion fluid so thnt supplies of capital can run quickly from the high spots to the low spots; nlso, It places at the command of each Individual branch the combined re sources of the whole institution so thnt there Is nn efficient safeguard ngnlnst severe strain nt any one point "Here in Winnipeg, the nH-Cnnndn banking houses mnintnln big, strong branches nnd, ns elsewhere in the Dominion, these held to nn nttltude of goneness nnd solidity that prevented even the stnrt of nny financial dis turbance. That business generally Is now com- Ing strong on nn even keel Is largely tM due to the nhsolute refusal of thoir banks, both branch nnd independent to exhibit the slightest signs of ai citement or npprchenslvencss. "For nil Cnnnda the savings bank figures nre astonishing. Beginning with 1013, they nre, for the fiscal year end ing March 31: 1013 $022,028,008 3014 003,050,230 1015 083,701,432- 1010 738400,212 1017 888,705,G08 "Theso figures represent what Cana dians hnve put nwny nfter paying tho increased living cost, which Is nbout tho same as In tho States, all Increas es In taxes and Imports of nil kinds mado necessary by the wnr nnd gen erous subscriptions to war bond Is sues. "Prohibition hns helped greatly in keeping the- money supplies circuit ing in the normnl, necessary channels. Tradesmen generally attribute n lnrfltc part of tho good flnnnclnl condition To tho fact that the boozo bill has been cllmlnntcd. Canada takes law enforce ment with true British seriousness. "FInnnclnlly, as in every other re spect, Canada has developed sufficien cy. She has done It in spite of Initial conditions which would not look prom ising In the Stntcs nnd she has done it in n'blg, strong wny. "Ono of tho best things wo did," snld ono of the leading Winnipeg bnnkers to mo, "was to decide early In tho .j game thnt wo simply would not borrow trouble. "We stnrted In Ignornnco of how tho wnr would develop nnd without know ing exnetly whnt our resources wero, and had to find tho way. "And yet Cunndlnns aro not overbur dened with tnxes nor nro they com plaining of them. For tho common people there bus been but n slight tnx Increase, If any, In n direct wny.
