.That. was a rather peculiar crime,
the robbing of my Uncle Abner'a safe.
t was cleverly planned, opportunely
Itlmed and successfully executed. It
was a good haul, too., Forty thousand
dollars in crisp coin of the realm is
pretty high pay for almost any crim
inal for a few hours' work and risk,
and that is what, the perpetrator got
tout of It T
.You will notice that I said "crim
inal." I did that to distinguish It from
the operation of a gang of thieves;
If or as it turned out it was the work
lot a single Individual and not the
combination of effort of a coterie.
That made it still more difficult to
Isolve. As a chain is no stronger than
It weakest link, so is the cunning
of a combination of men no keener
than the wits of Its dullest member.
That Is why conspiracies generally
come to grief somebody turns out to
be weak. In the matter of. which I am
speaking there were as many baffling
points as there are to a hedgehog, and
for a time It seemed Impregnable. As
for the sleuth hounds of the police,
they came up to ; it with caution,
Ismelled about it discreetly and then
drew away, looking wise, to ponder
over It, and for all I know are look
ing wise and pondering yet But with
William LeDuc the . case waa different.
LeOuo had been something of a
friend of mine ever Bince we were
schoolboys together,' and be. did real
ly brilliant work on the case. Every
thing conjured up by the human mind
Is capable of human solution If we
go about it right, and LeDuc found
ithe way. Just because a dog Is help
less before a bristling porcupine It la
n6 sign that all animals are. The wild
cat Isn't He Is too quick for tbe
brlstler. He feints him out of his de
fensive posture by lightning play
land eventually gets him by the un
protected nose which Is the begin
ning of the end of the problem. Just
what LeDuc did has never been made
Ipubllo up to this time for the reason
Ithat none but he or I Is competent to
Igive the inner particulars of the run
ning down of the thief, and up to this
itlme neither of us has cared to tell.
But I feel that I must do so now.
That I happened to know more than
lanybody else about certain Incidents
.connected with the affair and was
'able to supply LeDuc with the proofs
lof guilt was due to the fact that 1
lived with Uncle Abner at the time
the crime took place. I, also, was the
lone who found him lying bound and
unconscious. Also it was myself who
reported matters to the police and In
troduced LeDuc to my uncle. As for
the time when the burglary took
'place, I happened to he away from
ihome, having stayed at a hotel In the
business district quite a few miles
Ifrom where I lived.
And now at tbe outset I am going
fto emphasise one fact While It Is an
unpleasant thing tor me to do so, i
am going to tell everything I. know
regarding this crime., I am going to
spare nobody's feelings, faults or repu
tations. That I have not done so be
fore was because of a reason which
Will be apparent when all the other
facts are known. But now tnai a
foartala event has happened I feel
free to make everything known.
In writing this account I . have
thought best to do so chronologically
when possible. Therefore, I must go
Womewhat into matters which pre
ceded ad were more or less directly
connected with the crime in order
that the motive may be shown and
Jthat there may be the proper per
spective. To do this I must tell more
or less about people not absolutely
(connected with the burglarly, but who
are necessary to the narrative by
reason of their propinquity. How
ever." they are simply the shading
and side lights that go to make up tbe
picture. And while LeDuc may dtsap
pear for1 considerable periods in the
telling, the mistake should not be
made of thinking' he Is nowhere
round. That Is what he did in tie
actual ferreting out of the case, and
that is what misled the criminal But

I Right at this point I find myself
somewhat at a loss' to decide Just

had a dream which will Illustrate my
life-long Impression of him.- It hap
pened when I was spending a year at
a technical school learning practical
mechanics prior to entering college,
and It was brought -about by a partic
ularly heartless and thoroughly un
called for letter which he had written
me. I dreamed tbat I had seen him
dissected at a clinic and that his
veins were filled with liquid air In
stead of warm red corpuscles. And
when It came to the region of his
heart they found its place occupied
by a toadstool. He was long, lean,
miserly and rich. As to tbe amount
of his wealth, I had little knowledge
except from a boast he once made to
me and which I was Inclined to be
lieve at the time.
I happened Incidentally to remark
that he must be a pretty wealthy man,
and he turned' to me with that cun
ning leer of his a leer that had the
cunning of a fox and the relentless-
nees of a wolf. "I suppose you know
how far It Is from here to the heart
of the city," he grinned. I told blm
that It was eight miles as the crow
flies.
"And about 80 rods. Now, you listen
to me. young gadabout. If I should
turn all my money into American dol
lars and put them stde by side, edges

here to the city hall.
"Which Is a long ways." I assented

'And I'll tell you where else they
would reach. They'd reach to the

to tbe private office of the assessor,

by his contempt for all human hon

G. W. Martin, Preside nt of I he Mer

planation lay in the fact that the sup
ply was exhausted. Butler is being im
ported from Canada, he added, to meet
the hotel and cafe demand.
Asked whv I hi re should be such a
scarcity this year, he replied;
"There are many reasons, principal
among them a vastly increased ae-
mand and the fact that dealers last

A party of twenty-fdur farmers from

day looking over the farms in that sm
tion.
Yesterday afternoon they drove out
and looked over a number of farms in
this section with a view of settling In

condition of the roads they war not
taken very fir from the city but they
received a clear idea of the possibilities
of farming here.
Last night they were tendered a re

ber of Commerce. At this reception a
number of spfeaches were made and gen

were extended a cordial invitation to
return and settle in this section. '

Postmaster General "Alleged To Be
Getting; Southern Delegates
. For Eoosevelt
Washington, Jan. 20. Persons close
to the President believe tbat the near
future will wittness request from Mr.
Taftfor the resignation of the Post
master-General. Mr. Hitchcock's es
pousal of government ownership of tel
egraph lines is merely incidental. The
real trouble is that Postmaster General
Hitchcock stands before his chief
charged with political treachery.
President Taft has been informed by
close personal and political friends, in
cluding at least one Cabinet officer,
tbat Hitchcock is aiding and abetting
the movement inaugurated and financed -by
George W. Perkins for the nomina
tion of Theodore Roosvelt for Presi
dent. According to the information brought
to the President, the Postmaster-General
has furnished to the agents of
George W. Perkins who are working in
the Southern States to secure unin
structed delegations to the convention
information regarding the personnel of
the delegations to the convention which
nominated Taft in 1908, that he is giv
ing them data showing just how the Re
publican leaders in those States regard
the President and how they can be won
over to favor uninstructed delegations.
Dan Hanna, one of the Ohio leaders
who has come out into the open against
the renomination of the President,
came to the Republican National Com
mittee mreting loaded down with mon
ey to employ workers in the Sonth to
secure uninstructed delegations to the
next convention. Mr Hanna made no
secret of con f erring v. ith Mr. Hitch
cock while here. Neither did the Post
master-General show any hesitancy in
hobnobbing with Mr. Hanna George
W. Perkins furnished the money for
the work in the South. The President
has been informed that Mr. Perkins is
the employer of Ormsby McHarg, for
mer Assistant Secretary of Commerce
and Labor, who is known by President
Taft and Secretary Hi les to be advanc
ing the uninstruU.d delegation propag
anda.
The President will not admit a belief
that Col. Roosevelt is a party to the
scheme, it can be Btated on tbe btst
of authority, however, that the Presi
dent has not dismissed the cha ges ia
the offhand manner with which he us
ually waves aside charges against his
Cabinet officers He is making an investi
gation. That the statements carried to
the President have given him much con
cern ia ridiculed by tee conference he
has held in the last few days with
friends of Col. Roosevelt and with seme
of his own friends in the South. He
conferred for an hour with Jacob M.
Dickinson, former Secretary of War,
regarding affairs in Tennessee, Mr.
Dickinson told the President that he
was assured of the Tennessee delega
tion, but that efforts were being made
to win away some of the members. In
all the political battles the Postmaster-
General haa had with Secretary Hilles.
Hitchcock has been defeated. The
stlag of this dsfeat was felt by many
of tbe Postmaster-General's friends in
msny parts of the South, the members
of the great machine which be built up
at tbe dictation of Roosevelt to assure
the nomination of Taft in 1908. Back
of all this the Administration sees tbe
band of the Steel and Harvester Trusts.
It is believed here now that Robert
