Chicago. Prom a youth's dream,
through a maze of dissipation, fren
zied gambling and the resultant de
bauchery, into which was sucked the
cashier who in turn drew in the presi
dent, nntil the whole structure tum
bled with a crash, the fall of the Mil
waukee Avenue State bank has been
traced.
Walter Frantzen, once confidential
secretary to Paul O. Stensland, a
stripling of excellent promise, saw in
a dream that which aroused the spirit
of chance within him. Through the
boy the unrelentirtz spirit touched'
Henry W. Hering. the cashier, and he
fell, dragging with him Paul O. Stens
land. the president, who had also
been caught In the magic meshes.
In a dream that came to him the
night before the "great American
Derby at Washington park in 1900,
Frantzen, who had never been at a
race track in his life, saw the plung
ing horses galloping to the finish, and
just as plainly as if he stood in the
press box of the old stand, he saw a
card put up, eading: "1. Sidney
Lucas." The vision passed and he
awoke in the morning a marked man.
though unaware of it.
"I had a funny dream last night,"
Frantzen said to a fellow-clerk. Then
he told him of the vision.
"What was the name?" asked the
clerk.
"I can't remember exactly, but If the
papers have the entries, and this was
one of thsm, I can tell," he replied,
and an interest arose within him.
Found Horse of His Dream.
The clerk got a paper and slowly
read down through the entries of the
f324tf7ZE?r TOO?J4
f:ZZZCW-CZS2'aF
great racing event. When Sidney Lu
cas' name was reached Frantzen cool
ly said: "That's the one."
Frantzen's associates were inclined
to regard it as a joke, but kept asking
him why he didjnot "take a chance."
. He battled withHhe desire to bet, for
as a clerk at $75 a month he did not
have money to throw at the birds, or
at horses, either. Besides, the news
papers declared that Lucas did not
have a chance on earth.
Frantzen, up to that time, had never
gambled, and had seldom played
cards. He had remained home at
sight to study and read. He was
ambitious to become a successful bus
iness man like Paul O. Stensland, his
employer, whom all in that district
looked' up to and respected.
Frantzen had never been tested in
just this way before, and he was un
prepared for resistance. Not knowing
the price of 'his folly, he drew $25
from the bank and decided to put In
his Saturday half-holiday at the' track.
He did not intend to bet; he told his
friends he just wanted to see the
horse win.
Succumbed to Temptation.
When he reached the track and
mingled with the enthusiastic throngs
that crowded the betting ring, his
dream came back to him with start
ling reality. He saw the track and
grandstand as he had seen them in
his dream. .The betting ring seemed
to draw him with an irresistible force.
He crowded through and with a
trembling hand proffered $20. "Put
that on Sidney Lucas in the Derby,"
he said huskily. The bookmaker
grinned as he handed back a paste
board card with a little red number
ing at the top. and a scrawl of figures

His Strong Point.
The long looked for summer boarder

found her fanner host wetting to en

at the center. He placed it, in his in
side pocket, and then read the "dope"
on the Derby. It sakTthat Thompson
Bros., the owners of Lucas, were du
bious. Frantzen sighedwItkC relief to
know his money was already -lost
Put when the horses went to the
post he was bewildered to see that the
hcrse with "15" attached was Lucas.
The number "15" had been on the
horse of his dreams. Spellbound he
watched the preliminaries and the
start. He watched Lucas stir up the
mud and run circles around Lieut.
Gibbons, the favorite. , i
The-winner shot under the wire
with a trailing bunch of blurred horses
and riders behind. The grandstand
leaped Into life and noise. Frantzen
pulled out his ticket, looked it over
and walked through the disgruntled,
rapidly thinning crowd in the betting
ring to the almost deserted bookstand.
He presented his ticket, and the book
maker, with the same grin, handed
him a roll that counted up nearly $600
when he got home.
Sealed Doom of Bank.
Frantzen had won his first bet, and
the doom of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank was sealed.
The story traveled through the
bank and became known to his
friends. Frantzen was looked upon
as a sort of wizard, and acquaintances
urged him to "go to it" while his luck
held out. His head was turned, he
followed the evil advice, and became
a regular plunger. Some days he
would pick as many as six race win
ners. He seldom sustained a loss. His
acquaintances and friends began to
take his "steers," and Frantzen, the
ambitious young secretary of a few
weeks before, sat at his desk with
"dope sheets" and studied the horses,
about which he had not the slightest
knowledge. .
Frantzen found new associates to
assist him in spending his easily made
money, and into these circles of gay
ety he took Hering. Hering was a
phlegmatic, home-loving German
whose amusements had been of a do
mestic character.
Dazzled by the glamour of Frant
zen's wonderful run of luck, he saw no
reason why he should not follow
Frantzen's lead with the same suc
cess. Downfall of,, Others Begins.
Frantzen was a natural leader and
the pace he set the cashier was not
slow. Hering, however, after a few
ineffectual attempts to swing Into It,
finally struck the gait. He made him
self at home in crowds he had
shunned all through his own youth.
Gradually Paul O. Stensland was
drawn into the crowd. He began to
lose the moral Integrity that had been
his. About this time some' of his old
friends, prominent Norwegians who
had heretofore regarded him as a
splendid representative of their race,
heard of his changed associations and
withdrew their confidence from him.
This marked the beginning of his per
sonal downfall. He began to steal
from the bank in order to meet the
demands on him. taking out little by
little, animated by a hope similar to
Frantzen's that his speculations would
reap a rich harvest before the stolen
money was missed.
( Then Frantzen's luck turned. Think
ing that it would surely swing back to

lent to-morrow or the day after.
Hering says Frantzen stole S40.00.
A memorandum found In Stensland's
vault places the amount at $69,000.
Frantzen was never prosecuted by the
bank authorities and left the state
when his crime was discovered. Now
he is being brought back to answer
for it, as well as to tell all he knows of
the operations of the bank officials.
Hering Wins at First,
Cashier Henry Hering became a
"sport" under the Influence of Frant
zen. He followed the "tips" of Frant
zen and won a lot of money. Theo
dore Stensland, whose father at that
time was not involved in the stealing
that finally cost him his all and spread
misery among thousands, used to re
fer to Hering as a "cheap sport" and
a "cheap skate."
When the 1902 Derby day came
around, Frantzen was favored with no
vision. The nearest thing to a
"dream" he' could muster up was the
name Aladdin, as a winner. Aladdin
sounded like a miracle and the "pool"
backed it for all it was worth. Alad
din barely reached the wire before the
next race was called.
Swift Pace Down Hill.
It was then that the incline was
reached, and the members of the pool
shot to their doom. Debauchery, fast
women, evil associates, and high
times figured In their mad efforts to
hide from their accusing consciences.
When Stensland was drawn into the
pool he met women of a sphere just
above Hering's, and it was at that
time that Frantzen was charged with
embezzlement of from $40,000 to $69,
000, and sent away. His cunning In
picking winners had left him.
Stensland a Wanderer.
The predominating trait of Paul
Stensland's character recalls the fact
that, he was of the blood of the old
vikings who set sail In their frail
ships, careless of where the wind bore
them provided it was somewhere new.
Stensland was above all things a
wanderer. When he arrived In Chi
cago after years spent drifting from
place to place in the orient and with
old age approaching he still could not
resist his nomadic instincts. About
five years ago he went on a prolonged
trip through South and Central Amer
ica and more -particularly Honduras,
in which country he professed a spe
cial interest. On his return he dis
played a marked reticence to give
an account of his travels. In view of
this fact the opinion is freely ex
pressed among his quondam acquaint
ances that the missing man will be
found, If at all, in Central America.
Contrary to popular opinion, Stens
land Is declared to have been far from
prodigal with his money. He was
extremely frugal in his meals and
would frequently dine in a cheap res
taurant near the bank where a table
d'Hote was served for the modest sum
of one quarter. This frugality was
varied with occasional curious extrav
agances. At infrequent Intervals he
would. Invite a party of his friends to
his house, where he would entertain
them in a manner befitting his sup
posed wealth.

CHAPTER V. Continued.
Here the matter rested; and, having
done what she coaceived to be her
charitable duty, Virginia was aa anx
ious to get away aa heart the heart
of a slightly bored Reveread Billy, for
Instance could wish.
So they bade Adams good-by and
picked their way down the frozen em
bankment and across the ice bridge;
down and across and back to the Rose
mary, where they found a perturbed
chaperon in a flatter of sollcitade aris
ing upoa their mysterious dlmppear
ance and long absence.
"It may be just as well not to tall
any of them where we have been,"
said Virginia in an aside to her cousin.
And so the incident of tea-drinking la
the eaemy s camp was safely put away
like a little personal note in its en
velope with the nap gummed down.
CHAPTER "VX
While the technoioglan was dispen
sing commissary tea in iron-stone china
cups to his two guests in the "dinkey"
field office, his chief, taking the Rose
mary's night run in reverse in the
company of Town Marshal Biggin, was
turning the Rajah's coup into a small
Utah' profit
Having come upon the ground late
the night before, and from the oppo
site direction, he had seen nothing of
the extension grade west of Argentine.
Hence the enforced journey to Carbon
ate only anticipated an inspection trip
which he had intended to make as soon
as he had seated Adams firmly in the
track-laying saddle.
Not to miss his opportunity, at the
first curve beyond Argentine he passed
his cigar case to Biggin and asked
permission to ride on the rear plat
form of the day coach lor inspection
purposes.
"Say, pardner, what do you take me
fer, anyhow?" was the reproachful re
joinder. "For a gentleman in disguise," said
Winton, promptly.
"Sim'larly, I do you; savvy? Ton
tell me you ain't goin' to stampede.
and you ride anywhere you blame
please. See? This here C. G. R.
outfit ain't got no surcingle on me."
Winton smiled.
"I haven't any notion of stamped
ing. As it happens, I'm only a day
ahead of time. I should have made
this run to-morrow of my own accord
to have a look at the extension grade.
Tou will find me on -the rear platform
when you want me.'
"Good enough," was the reply; and
Winton went to his post of observa
tion. Greatly to his satisfaction, he found
that the trip over the C. ft G. R. an
swered every purpose'of a preliminary
inspection of the Utah grade beyond
Argentine. For 17 of the 20 miles the
two lines were scarcely more than a
stone's throw apart, and when Biggin
joined him at the junction above Car
bonate he had his note-book well filled
with the necessary data.
"Make it all right?" Inquired the
friendly bailiff.
"Yes, thanks. Have another cigar?"
"Don't care if I do. Say, that old
fire-eater back yonder in the private
car has got a mighty pretty gal, .ain't
he?"
"The young lady is bis niece," said
Winton, wishing that Mr. Biggin
would find other food for comment
"I don't care; she's pretty as a Jer
sey two-year-old."
"It's a fine day," observed Winton;
and then, to background Miss Carteret
effectually as a topic, "How do the
people of Argentine feel about the op
position to our line?"
"They're red-hot; you can put your
money on that The C. ft G. Rs a
sure-enough tail-twister where there
ain't no competition. Your road'll get
every pound of ore in the camp if it
ever gets through."
Winton made a mental note of m.i
ap-cast of public opinion, and set it
over against the friendly attitude of
the official Mr. Biggin. It was very
evident that the town marshal was
serving the Rajah's purpose only be
cause he had to.
"I suppose you stand with your
townsmen on that don't you?" he ven
tured. "Now you're shouting; that's me."
"Then If that is the case, we won't
take this little holiday of ours an
harder than we can help. When the
court business Is settled it won't take
very long you are to consider your
self my guest We stop at the Buck
ingham." "Oh, we do, do we? Say, pardner,
that's white mighty white. If I'd 'a'
been an inch or so more'n half awake
this morning when that old b'iler
buster's hired man routed me out I'd
'a' told him to go to blazes with his
warrant Next time I will."
Winton shook his head. "There

By this time the train was slowing
Into Carbonate, and a few minutes
after the stop at the crowded platform
they were making their way ap the
aiagle bustllag stret of the town to
the courthouse.
"liver see so many tin-horns and
banco people bunched in all your
round-ups?" said Biggin as they el
bowed through the uneasy, shifting
groups in front of the hotel.
"Not often," Winton admitted. "Bat
It's the lack of the big camps; they
are the dumping grounds of the world
while the high pressure is oa."
The ex-raage rider turned on the
courthouse steps to look the sldewa
loungers over with narrowing eyes.

ton; whereupon they went la to ap
pease the offeaded majesty of the law.
Aa Winton had predicted, his an
swer to the court summons was a
mere formality. Oa partlag with his
chief at the Argentine station plat
form, Adams' first care had been to
wire aews of the arrest to the Utah
headquarters. Heace Winton found
the company's attorney waltiag for
him in Judge Whitcomb'a courtroom,
and his release oa an appearance bond
was only a matter of momenta.
The legal affair dismissed, there en
sued a weary interval of time-killing
There was no train back to Argentine
until nearly five o'clock in the after
aoon, and the hours dragged heavily
for the two, who had nothing to do
but wait Biggin endured his part of
it manfully till the midday dinner had
been discussed; thea he drifted off
with one of Winton's cigars between
his teeth, saying that he should "take
poison" and shoot ap the town if he
could not find some more peaceful
means of keeping his blood in circula
tion. It was a little after three o'clock,
and Winton was sitting at the writ
ing table in the lobby of the hotel
elaborating his hasty note-book data
of the morning's inspection, when a
boy came In with a telegram. The
young engineer was not so deeply en
grossed in his work as to be deaf to
the colloquy.
"Mr. John Winton? Yes, he is here
somewhere," said cue clerk in answer
to the boy's question; and after an
Identifying glance, "There he Is over
at the writing table."
Winton turned in his chair and saw
the boy coming towards him; also ne
saw the ruffian pointed out by Biggin
from the courthouse steps and labeled
"Sheeny Mike" lounging up to the
clerk's desk for a wsiepered word with
the bediamonded gentleman behind it
What followed was cataclysmal In
its way. The lounger took three stag
gering lurches towards Winton,
"LETS HIKE OUT
brushed the messenger boy aside, and
burst out in a storm of maudlin in
vective,
"Sign yerself Winton now, do ye,
ye low-down, turkey-trodden"
"One minute," said Winton, curtly,
taking the telegram from the boy and
signing for it
"111 give ye more'n ye can carry
away in less'n half that time see?"
was the minatory retort; and the
threat was made good by an awkward
buffet which would have knocked the
engineer out of his chair if he had
remained in it
Now Winton's eyes were gray and
steadfast but his hair was of that
shade of brown which takes the tint
of dull copper In certain lights, and
he had a temper which went with the
red in his hair rather than with the
gray in his eyes. Wherefore his at
tempt to placate his assailant was
something less than diplomatic.
"You drunken scoundrel!" he
snapped, "If you don't go about your
business and let me alone, I'll turn
you over to the police with a broken
bone or two!'
The bully's answer was a blow de
livered straight from the shoulder
too straight to harmonize with the fic
tion of drunkenness. Winton saw the
sober purpose la It and went battle

But now that side or Mr. Peter Big

uppermost
"What do you take me fer?" was the
way It vocalined itself; but there was
more than a formal oath of loyal al
legiance In the curt question.
"For a man and a brother," said
Winton, heartily; and they set out
together to waylay the outgoing train
at some point beyond the danger limit
It was accomplished without further
mishap, and the short winter day was
darkening to twilight when the train
came In sight and the engineer slowed
to their signal. They climbed aboard,
and when they had found n seat In
the smoker the engineer of construc
tion spoke to the ex-cowboy as to a
friend.
"I hope Adams has knocked out a
good day's work for us," he said.
