The door o f his cabin stood open and
a shaft o f light stole in over Ills shoul­
der a* though to examine the llrepln«»*,
and the pans and kettles hanging pic­
turesquely atsiut the walls and the two
or three extra hunks for possible visit­
ors. and the floor and quaintly carved
tools— all as bright and Immaculate as
though presided over by n woman; and
another shaft came down through tin*
foliage and rested upon the bowed,
whitening head, and upon tho rough
knotted Angers thnt were unconsciously
betraying the bulging» of h repressed
soul to the fnmlllnr, responsive strings
o f his violin.
A boat came noisily np the river and
was fastened to the bank below the
cabin; then two men hurried up the
Slope, leaving a third to follow more
leisurely. But still Bat Plnaml played
on unmindfully, unconscious.
“ Oh, I say," called oim * o f the men
gnpn.lently. “ that's awful fine, but will
you please stop Just a minute?”
The bow poised In tho air and then
flushed a final staccato across the
strings.
"A re yon Bat Pliiaud?”
“ Oul, and monsieur?"
"Oh, I ’m I»oc Wlllets, and my friend
here Is Col. Case. W e and Jack Phil­
lips down there have been camping on
the big luke for Ihe last two months.
What wo want with you is this," lower­
ing his voice and glancing over his
shoulder to see that their companion

much business ns the great State o f Iowa. This requires
the handling o f vast sums of money, but fifty-seven banks,
fifteen o f whleh are national, seem to do It efficiently.
One of these banks la the second largest In the United

Its capital la $10,000,000 and dcjioelta $115,-

Chicago trndes with every civilized country on tlie
g!olr\ which necewdtate« extensive transportation facili­
ties. This huslness Is divided between thirty-two rail­
road and twenty-eight steamboat lines. Every day It
r<»|iilr«-s 1,200 trains o f six ears each to earry the people
who come to Chicago on the steam roads, 2SO «»f which
are through trains and ¡»so suburban. Twenty-four sur­
face and »even elevated ear llm-s run from the outskirts
to the lamlne»-» center. Trains run every three minute»
oq the elevated and several o f the surface line*, four or
live cars each to the former and two to the latter. Dur­
ing sixty trips on Madison street no two were made
with the same conductor; nor did the Investigator re­
member seeing any particular passenger twice. The total
dally arrivals within the downtown square mile by all
conveyance» amount to a half million.
The total municipal expenditure» o f Chicago are now
$45,000,000 a year, but the rapid growth o f population
and the vast Improvement« Increase these figures every
year. The f),.Vi0 policemen Involve an expenditure of
nearly $4/100,000. Chicago possesses a larger number of
the "greatest things on earth” than any other city In
the world. She has Hie largest car factory. Is the largest
manufacturer of telephones and other electric sujipllee;
her commerce by water Is greater than that o f any other

Yes, Bat saw— perhaps more than
they Intended, or would have llk«d. He
had hoard of Doc W lllets and Col.
Case, and o f reckless, good-natured
Jack Phillips, who allowed the sharp­
er» to bleed him on every possible pre­
text. and In a way that was patent to
everybody but himself.
“ Oul, sure-
ment," he saw.
"Everything all right?" asked Jack

Ihu and at the same time Jingling some
x»lns tn Ins pocket, "but I suppose
there'll ls> no trouble, eh, guide?"
Bat rose slowly and carried his fiddle
Into the cabin. When lie came out he
was again the obliging, matter-of-fact
trapper and guide.
“ I s'pose maybe 1 fixed up all those
things," he said graciously. "Now. you

I bring things up from the boat we’ll
have supper.”
It was dark before the supper had
been prepared and eaten, and then, at
their request, Bat took them down to a
deer run to try their lues at flash­
light.
The n e it morning they were out with
the day, and after a hasty eating o f
hrenkfast and a careful preparation o f
lines, they fo llo w «! Bat a mile or so
up the river to where be said the Ash­
ing was good. Aa they paused on the
bank, Doc W lllets and Col. Case tried
to catch Bat's -ye and again audibly
fingered the coins In their pockets. Bat
looked up and down the river criti­
cally.
" I s'pose maybe Mr. Wlllets better go
to that little cove there and tlsh from
the ;«olnt back to the big white rock.”
he said at length. " I'v e caught more
fish there than I could carry. Mr. Case
I will take up round the bent. Plenty
flsh there. And Mr. Phillips.” looking
at him as though somewhat in doubt,
“ maybe I ’d best show him beyond the
rapids. 1 catch flsh there sometimes
and sometimes not. Maybe he'll do
better. That suit?”
"Oh, yes. that's Just the thing," cried
Doc Wlllets. and “ Just the thing,”
echoed Col. Caw-. Then they both rub-
b**d their hands ami looked at Bat iqv-
provlngly. Jack Phillips <11<1 not even
hear. He was gazing gloomli across
the river, his thoughts evidently else­
where.
An hour or so later, as Bat was cir­
cling from one to another, watching
and giving hits of advice from his own
expcrlcmv. he came upon Jack Phillips
beyond the rapids. The young mnn
had drawn something from his,pocket
and was looking at it hungrily, oblivi­
ous o f everything around. His rod and
line lay upon the bank unnoticed. Aa
list turned to steal away he heard
Phillips utter a stifled groan o f renun­
ciation and despair and saw the object
cast Into the underbrush. Then Phil­
lips caught up his nsl and went entail­
ing through the hushes along the river.
When he was beyond view Bat went to
the place where he was standing and
found the photograph o f a beautiful
young girl, whose eyes l«M>k«*d up at him
wistfully and appealingly, Ilat thought.
He guzid at the picture for some mo­
ments, Ills face whitening; then he nod­
ded reassurance to the eyes.
When darkness brought them togeth­
er it was found that Jack Phillips. In
spite o f his desultory fishing above the
rapids, had caught more than both the
others.
“ Well, I suppose It's all luck,” Doe
W lllets grumbled desi>ondently. "D»»u-
ced bad luck, thought, 1 think.” T h en ;
"Say, Jack, old man, you'll have to
wait a week or two for your money—
I ’m broke."
"Me, too,” Col. Case admitted gloom­
ily. " I was counting on this to— to— ”
He flushed recollecting and was silent.
Jack Phillips smiled satirically, but
said nothing. Presently he turned to
Bat.
“ Pretty lonesome life here In the win­
ter. Isn’t It?” he naked. "When snow
shuts you away from everything. Still
I suppose you have always been used
to I t ”
“ Folks can get used to anything and
like It,” Bat replied shortly.
But a little later when Phillips
moved down the river he followed.
"No, I haven’t always been used to
It," he said abruptly. " I lived In a H fy
until I was over 20, then I got mad
and played the fool and came off here.

"W hy do you call yourself a fool?”

ously.
"Because I am one,” harshly.
