Of course the company Is anxious have the matter bushed up and Is ready to uipromlse." Lawver Albertson at once pposed that some Seattle bank was lnvolv and that one of the manv bank clerks he ew was the criminal. When Albertson .tstloned Chandler the latter replied : "'I unot tell the name of the man, but he Is a end of yours, for he knows of the days eu you plied lumber In a saw-mill here, en you were a reporter on the Chronicle, en you were studying law. Here Is the t of agreement that our friend wishes to ye put In legal form."and Chandler showed lerlson a rougn (trait in inn oi a guaranty Immunity from prosecution In case certain urilics, for which blanks were lert, were iirned and the combination of the safe re ded. Itlanks were also left for the names i he parlies to the transaction. Albertson lalnod that such an agreement would e no legal force, but Chandler declared t tho company could be trusted to live up t. Albertson had strong doubts as to Icthcr ho had better draw the agreement, I he consulted George Hyde Preston, his l.ner, who advised him to have nothing to .vltb It. Then Aloertson reflected that lie lit to stand by his friends, and that were agreement not drawn a Seattle bank lit go to the wall, many Innocent people M r 3 uliifid, and much barm be done the com ilty.

The next day Chandler returned, and, still ,'lvlng the name of Ross, took the blank agreement and Insisted upon paying $10 for II. Nothing more was heard of the matter fir weeks, and Albertson supposed that the affair bad been settled and hushed up. Tlie next thing was the robbery at Taco ma. On the night of Sunday, August 23,word was telephoned to the American district tele graph at Tacoma, that a man In room SG at the Fife hotel wished to be called at 4:15 Monday morning. Willie Williams, a night messenger, was sent to make the call, but when be was near the hotel he met a man who asked. "Are you golna to call 80 at the Flfef" "Yes." "Well, I am the man, so you needn't bother aoout tdat. Here Is 50 cents. I want you to hire agumey and take this pack. a-eto"Mr. Wallace at 10 Pacific avenue..' At Bo'clockthat morning T. B. Wallace, presi dent of the Fidelity trust company, was awakened by a ringing at his door-bell. He slipped on his clothes and went to the door, where a messenger handed hlin a large envel ope addressed to hlra In the handwriting of Edward Albertson, the bank's secretary. Within, on the paper of the company, under date of August 22, was the following aston ishlng letter: T. B. Wallace, President: Dear Sir: I am short In my accounts $11, 750 being an aggregate of sums squandered by me at different times since ene year ago this month In speculation, and I haven't a dollar left. Realizing the Impossibility of ever rcnlarlng It, and being in constant dread of detection, I have become desperate, taken enough more to make It $200,000 and left. The amount of securities taken from the safe in addition to this cash, Is over $900,000, which Includes all the company's notes, col lateral and land company contracts. In addi tion to this I have changed all the combina tions, after locking up all the bank books In lie Btcel vault. If you will slirn the three papers triplicate herewith In the presence of two witnesses, liave the same duly acknowledged, and deliver Hl three to Fred N. Chandler at Brown's X'olnt on or before 0 o'clock Monday morning (see directions below how to meet blm),he will deliver te you all the above securities, etc., valued at $!HJ0,000, and a key to the safe doors, so that you can commence business at the usual hour; except my personal notes, $4000, which I have destroyed, but the col lateral, 40 sh ires of stock, you will get. If you will meet Chandler with the papers duly executed, you will find the company's seal in a drawer at end of Denmar. desk any time between 6 and 9 o'clock on Monday morning you will get all the above as stated and le ready for business the loser of but $20,000. Refuse to execute and deliver these papers by the hour named, and all the papers and securities valued at over $000,000. none of which, except the company's notes, has the company any record of will be burned by fire, and It will cost you $8000 to $10,000 to oM-n and replace vault and safe doom and four to six months time tn which to do It mnl you yourself well know at the lowest es timate It will cot you not less than from $100,000 to $200,000 of the above, besides the trouble to get the balance and besides this loss In actual money, just Imagine the loss to the company through loss of confidence of the public and the absolute suspension of busi ness for at least a month. To sum up, accept the conditions and lose $20,000, which the people need not know ; re ject them and lose make your estimate out of the $'.100.0110, and be compelled to absolute ly siiend bulness. You cannot pay any checks as you have no balanco hooks to go by and you dare not draw on New York and San Francisco, for both aecounta are wrnnir. I have made memorandum and left It In the safe of just bow the shortage lies. Respectfully. K. Alhkrtsox. one thing to do and that was to compromise who Ainenson and Chandler. Wallace sent forjudge L. I). Campbell, the company's at tomey, and after a short consultation the two went to h. J). Powell, a notary, and the agree. ment was signed In triplicate. Wallace then hired a skiff and a boatman to take htm to Brown's point. Tacoma lies on Commence ment bay, one ot the arms of the sound. Two miles or so across Is Brown's point, but the distance around by land Is ibreeorfour miles The point Is part of the Puyallup Indian res ervatlon and Is thickly wooded. When Wat lace came near the bank they saw Chandler standing on a bluff about 50 feet above tbo water. At bis direction Wallace took the winding path up the hill. As the bank presl dent came near the top Chandler shouted "Are you Wallace!"' "I am." "Have you the papers!" "Yes." "Then follow me and the thief led the way to a point about a quarter of mile in the woods. Here be left Wallace and soon returned with a package done up In brown paper. Wallace opened It and found f;iuu,uuu in Tacoma land company contracts, notes amounting to $24U.OOO, $i;, 000 in stock certificates, and a lot of other se cuiitles. Chandler delivered them up, re ceived the signed agreement, and after ex pressing regret at wbat had occurred, illsap. peared In the forest, while Wallace took the boat back to the city. Tbo matter trigbt have bean ended there but for the Fidelity and Casualty company of JNew lorn, which had gone on Albertson's bond for $10,000. Ue had already secured himself against the bank, and he took the only step possible to prevent action by his bondsman tn sending the bond company the following letter: Fidelity Trust Company, Tacoma, Aug. 22, '01. Mr. K. Fermor Ball. G S. New York. Dear Sir: There ts a dispute of some $20,. 000 which the company has lost, and they will try to recover $10,000 of It under the bond which was Issued to them guaranteeing mv fidelity, .fee, 51,0S4. To save you the money and at the same time to lessen chances of my being prosecuted, I herewith return to you the bond and renewel, neither of which have bpnn out of mv nossesslon. Their records do not show that they paid this, so all you will have to do ts to refuse payment, else deny existence; or else declare same has boen cancelled several months. You know your business. If you want to get out of this you know what to do. Yours truly, E. Albkutson. I have written to Palmer & Son that papers are received and shall have attention. I wish you to write to R. B. Albertson, attorney-at- law, at Seattle, wash., and acivise nim or vonr action on the within. He may be able to advise you In the matter. Whatever you write htm will be strictly confidential. Mr. Ball, however, was too honest to fall Into this cunningly laid trap, and In behalf of tho sm,i tv and uasuaitty company set ie- tocHvps nn the track of the robbers. Public intprpotwns not much roused over the mat' ter. because the loss of the bank was an nounced as 80000 The detective secured, as they thought enough evidence to warrant the arrest of Co hoon.

There Is a Held for more local fulrs that may succeed grandly by taklnir lessons from the manaecrs of the Brattlelioro Fair. At the bottom of prosperity of these successful fairs Is undoubtedly the leadership of ono or more competent managers, and ajlocal favorable public sentiment that unites ami Harmonizes the efforts of the people, and furnishes an at mosphere In which the yountr life of a fair Is nurtured anil strenirtncnflu up to mammy, Anvhow.

It Isifrequently remarked that we are not having the usual brilliant foliage this autumn that Is the glory of New Kngland. The ones. tlon Is often asked, why are the leaves of the trees turning brown, rather than red and yellow as in other years? The answer Is made, quite generally, that this la due to tbe absence of frost. An eminent botanist gives another explanation and says: "The green matter In tbe tissue of a leaf Is composed of two colors, red and blue. When the sap ceases to now in tbe autumn, and the natural growth of the tree ceases oxidation of the tissue takes place. Under certain conditions the green of the leaf changes to red ; under different conditions it takes on a yellow or brown tint. The difference tn color Is due to the difference In combination of the original constituents of the green tissue, and to the varying conditions lof climate, exposure and son. a dry, coid climate produces more oru llant foliage than one that Is damp and warm. this is the reason that our American au. tumns are so much more gorgeous than those of England. There are several things about leaves that even science cannot explain. For Instance, why one of two trees growing side by side, of the same age and havlne the same exposure, should take on a brilliant red tn the fall and the other should turn yellow; or. why one branch of a tree should be highly colored and tbe rest or tbe tree have only i yellow tint, are questions that are as Impos slble to answer as why one member of a fam. ily should be perfectly healthy and another sickly. The color is not as good this fall as usual. The maples and oaks generally have the brightest colors. Rev. W. W. Foster of No. Adams.

Illman writes from Concord, N. H.. cordially and earnestly tn approval of tbe project for a hospital which llev. C. O. Day has so often and vigorously urged upon Brattleboro. Mr. Illman speaks from practl cal observation of tbe hospital at Concord, whose annual report he forwards with papers describing tbe new building, the girt ol Hon G. A. Plllsbury, tbe Minneapolis flour man, and showing wbat a large place it tills In Concord and what a hold It has upon her cit izens. Not only are there free beds, but the Institution Is practically free to all who need It, certainly for the people of Concord. Mr. Illman says: "It ts supported by all tbe peo ple, the churches, Irrespective of name, do Ine much for It, and people outside of tbe churches, joining in tbe good work. We think It a success, we were proud or It be fore Mr. Plllsbury gave the new building; we shall probably be more proud of It now. I suppose you are agitating your soul with the question whether or not a hospital can be started In Brattleboro. If one could be brought Into existence here tn Concord, It can there. Tbe social atmosphere of the two places Is not greatly different. We have the same high grade people tbat you have, who conceive liberal things In the way of educa tion and benevolence, and execute tbem liber ally. There Is a great deal of local pride here, as there Is and ought to be In your beautiful town, and local pride Is one of the healthiest forms of pride. There la certainly wealth enoub among Brattleboro people, and sure ly they are abreast with tbe times enough to be responsive to the most pronounced senti ment of the site, tbe sentiment which demands tbat be who can. shall, to even preserve the respect of bis fellowmen, do something for their good, yes, shall do according to wbat be bai. If. with Intelligent and earnest pres entation of tbe matter, sucb as I feel sure you and other associated with you. will give It, a hospital cannot tie established In Brattlelioro, I shall sorrowfully confess that Its people are not the people I thought them to lie.
