CHAPTER Vlt
The Silk Robbery
Show Mr Regan In said the bank
president Regan was admitted He
looked surprised to see Lang
What can I dp for you asked tho
banker
I had lost track of Mr Smith re-
plied tliq detective composedly
You nro looking for Mr Smith
then
I am keeping tho young man In
view
viewWhy
Why so asked the chief and the
answer to tho question gave Louis tho
Key to the situation
I am aware that Mr Smith was
to recelvo a large sura of money from
this bank and it tsmy business to
keep him under my protection was
the bold reply
Then you nro aware of the draft
being drawn
Certainly was tho decided nn
swer An order frourJIm Denver on
this bank tor 10000 V
While not exactly afraid thatthe
nolo was u forgery said he banker
we thought It best to send for Mr
beuver
That was npt necessary replied
Regan turning a little palo as the
possibility of having got himself Into
an unnecessary scrape stared htm in
tho face I can vouch for MriSnilth
At one time Regan had been detailed
to service at the bank so was well
known by Its offlcers Besides this
Denver and Regan had often been
peen In the bank together when Iho
former had transacted business with
hoVank
Very well officer said the prpsl
dent relieved and seeing a loophole
to let himself out I did feel as If
we shoufd not pay It but In view of
Refusel hissed the man
tho changed circumstances of tho
case now we will pay It
Both Regan and Lang breathed
easier Regan was a designingif not
a bold rascal His assistance to Lang
was not given of his own accord In
describing Lang to Golden It was nec-
essary to tell about Louis scheme for
raising the 10000 and Golden had
plapcd Regan on watch to guard
aEalnst failure and possible treach-
ery on Louis part Knowingthat
Louis failure would mean his own
with Golden Regan had been forced
Ho extend a helping hand
Without more ado the bills were
counted out and handed to Lang
I will give you a second fo get a
little ahead of me Mr Smith said
Regan motioning to Louis to take his
leave And I will followbeWn d you
Infen minutes when the bank presi-
dent thought ot placing a shadow
onttho track of the two It Tas too
late they were swallowed tip among
thdjmasses
We will skip over the events of the
next twentyfour hours and Inform the
reader of a few things reported In the
evohlng papers the following day Elrst
there was a column and a half about
Apotective Robbed A most sensa-
tional description because the perpe
tra foro of the crime were known The
life history of Lang and Regan was
glvcn filled with abuSo against Regan
especially The account ended up
with tho usual stereotyped expression
Tho police hope to capture theT > ar
and nro already on the trail among
them Denver hlmsolf Although tho
villain have fully twentyfour hours
start there can bo no reasonable ex
cn2b for tho pollco to lot them slip
through tholr flngqrs etc nut they

Ing discovered and having tho check
prematurely thrust on lilm he was
forced to refute It for fear of spoiling
his game so It was given to the pub-
lic and sometime afterward Denver
quietly reimbursed the Institution
Tho same paper had another notice
to this effect It Is only known to a
fow that Simeon Golden convlcfed of
in urder succeeded In making his es-
cape from JoVlet the second cscapo
only In the history of this Institution
tt Is almost a certainty that ho is In
Chicago or has been within the past
few hours It Js to be deplored that
this scoundrel Is at liberty etc
And still another account This was
tho daring robbery of Johnsons silk
store
Jim Denver knew who robbed John
sons silk store but It was not his
pleasure to meet the robbers Ho
knew the passing of the forged check
andthe robbery were but links In tho
chain binding three desperate men to-
gether However no ordinary reader
would surmise that the following had
anything to do with the p recedlng
THo Chlcngo Rocky Mountain
Wahoo railway sent out another spe-
cial car of emigrants early this morn-
ing amohg them fourteen women and
four men bound for the extreme
northwest
But tho four Incidents narrated con-
cerned the same people On tills emi-
grant train were the perpetrators of
these crimes as were also Jim Den-
ver and several people of whom we
have very little knowledge but who
will enter our story at a later period

alslps stretching their weary llmbs
while some wero grouped conversing
The group to which we call particular
attention to occupies one half of one
sldo of a car ihe fourteen women
and fourinen mentlonet above
Tho women of the Goiden party
formed a motley group There wore
six lnrgo strapping German women
now arrivals In tills country who had
hired themselves out as farm domes-
tics to as they thought as many dif-
ferent farmers Unknown Jto them-

All women worE some In their
homes some in church nnd some in

mills and shops tens of thousands arc
on the riovcrccasing treadmill earning
their dally bread
All are subject to tho same physical
laws all suffer alike from tho same
physical disturbance and tho nature of
their duties in many cases quickly
drifts them Into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints tumors
ulceration falling and displace-
ments or perhaps Irregularity or
Suppression causing backache ner-
vousness irritabilityand lassitude
They especially require an Invigorat-
ing sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism nnd
enable them toboar easily the f atlgues
of tho day to sleep well atf night and
to rise refreshed and cheerful
How distressing to see r woman
struggling toearn a livelihood or peri
form her household duties when Tier
back and head are aching she Is so
tired she ban hardly drag about or
stand up and every movement cdusesf
pain the origin of which Is due to
some derangement 6t the female or-
