*•« "f the plundered Milwaukee Ave-
ritair Dank, a mail dlstribptlon of
$500,oon was made today.
Thousands of creditor* gathered
about the Stenslaml building hours
before the doors opened, awaiting the
first payment. One hundred policemen
were on hand to hold the crowd In
check. Disorder and at times fighting
attended the opening of the bank's
doors.
Many of those who had money In
the bank had neglected to bring their
affidavit blanks and were excluded
from the bank. They were driven
nearly frantic by the sight of the
money stacked on the counters and
the fear that they would not get their
share of It.
yhe first depositor to draw her share
of the 20 per cent dividend was a w—
an. who drew out $.170.60 out n
total.of $1,876.63 she had deposited In
the Institution.
"We are old people," she said, "and
my husband, who Is over 60 years old,
Is sick and cannot work. We have
saved all our lives In the hope that
we could have some little comfort Just
before we died. Now I suppose we
will lose most of what we have saved
up.”

Brass went to Ills house and armed
himself with a double-barrel gun and
refused to surrender. J. D. Mosely,
who had Joined In the pursuit of negro,
finally got the drop on him and Deputy

BORROWED PLUMES
By LESLIE THOMAS.
In the corner of an otherwise empty
corridor carriage sat the Hon. Peter
Logram, regarding with complacent eye
the reflection In the small hand-glass
which he held before hla face, and al
though his sole remaining hirsute
adornment clustered more particularly
to his head he smoothed down an
imaginary parting carefully, giving a
grunt or two expressive of satisfaction
as he did so. 0
The platform without was apparent
ly deserted, and, having halted for a
brief interval at a little-frequented sta
tion, the train was now slowly gather
ing speed.
Suddenly, however, the sound of rap
id steps and the panting of a runner
caught his ear through the open win
dow. Evidently a belated passenger
was making one final sprint In the
effort to board the moving train. Then
an adjacent carriage door slammed vio
lently.
"Idiot!" muttered Mr. Logram, testi
ly. ."Deserved to be killed!"
He picked up a wig of thick, black
hair from n box on the seat beside
him. "Might ns well try this on, too,”
he said to himself, rumlnatlvely, set
ting It upon his head,
"All this makes one feel quite a child
again," he thought, smiling.
He brought the glass nearer. "H’m!
• • • That seems to fit very well—
looks almost natural, In fact."
"Yes, very useful things, aren’t
they?" said a quiet voice at the door.
"Como Jn handy now and again."
-The Honorable Peter turned abruptly
on the Intruder, an Individual attired
In a top hat and ffook coat, with ob
vious—but unavailable—pretensions to
smartness. His clothing was some
what disarranged, his tie awry. His
face wall red.
"I beg your pardon," said the Hon
orable Peter, icily.
Don’t mention It!" beseeched the
new-comer, airily. "Don’t mention It
at all! I was only saying what useful
things those— By gad!" he cried In
amazement; "why. If It Isn't 'Daddy,*
good old ‘Daddy!”’
Mr. Logram was somewhat taken
aback at first. Then his choler rose.
AVhat the"—he spluttered. "How
dare"— *
"Hardly knew you at first—with all
that black hair," said the top-hatted
gentleman, calmly. "Why, you’re got
up fit to kill—absolutely regardless," he
added, admiringly. " ‘Daddy,’ you’re a
marvel—a perfect marvel!"
"How dare you, sir!" Mr. Logram
brought out at last. "‘Daddy,’ Indeed!
Of all the pieces of Impertinence—!’’
The other man broke Into a roar of
laughter. "Good, but It won't wash
with me, you know. But I’m all right,
old chap." lie went Into paroxysms of
laughter. "I'm one o’ the boys, I am.
Name o’ Carshott—Jimmy Carshott.
They’ve often told me about you down
nt the club. Besides, you’re a public
character, you are, you know. They’ve
got a copy of your ‘physog’ at every
big police station In England, I should
think!"
‘Do you mean to Imply?"—
‘Course they have! You know that
well as I do," said Mr. Carshott,
sharply. "Needn’t try to ‘come* It over
me, though, ’cause It won’t wash."
"But look here," Mr. Logram ex
postulated, "I'm not the man—the—
er—friend of yours that you suppose."
"Oh, cheese It!” said Jimmy Car
shott, rudely. "Be sensible, do! To
come to business, now. Have you got
such a thing as another 'o them wigs
and a change ’o duds for me. If so, 1*11
hire ’em from you for the day." •
"I have not!" said the Honorable
Peter, firmly.
"Tell you, why,” Mr. Carshott con
tinued, unmoved, "I had two of ’em
from Scotland Yard on my track at the
last station arid only managed to catch
this train and get away from ’em by
the skin of my teeth. They’re sure to
wire on, too, you know, and thlngs’11
look rather awkward for me at the next
stop."
"That’s not for half an hour," Mr.
Logram reminded him.
"Oh. good egg!" commented fils
companion, cheerfully. "May be able
to do a bit of a change In that time.
Lucky thing, rather, me hanging on to
this train."
The Honorable Peter shook his head
helplessly. He was past speech.
"Oh, well," said the top-hatted gen
tleman, sharply, "If you’ve nothing to
suggest—’’ He shrugged his shoulders.
"By the way," he added, suddenly, "for
got to mention It before—chaps tft the
club were talking about it the other
night. Hard luck on yoU, I call it! Your
wife’s on your track again."
"My what?" asked Mr. Logram,
sharply.
"Your wife,” repeated his companion,
firmly. "Your first—the Newcastle
one."
"But you’re In error, my good sir. I
am unmarried," said Mr. Logram,
fiercely.
Jimmy Carshott lifted a reproving
finger.
"Oh, you naughty old man!" he re
marked, playfully. "Mean to say that
last one at Sheffield—O’oh! Well, she's
after you, anyway. Better be care
ful."
The Honorable Peter rose hastily and
began to collect his luggage. "I think
It' would be better," he said frigidly,
"If I were to change Into another com
partment."
"Oh! Don’t want to get mixed up
with me when the 'tees’ look in, eh? I
quite understand, p’r aps? I shan’t In
terfere with you. By-by."
Mr. Logram moved off toward the
adjoining compartment. But It was
full, and as he came to the end one he
caught sight of a familiar face through
the glass.
"Lady Parklnton!” he stammered,
hurriedly. "Lady Parklnton and her
girls! What Infernal luck! Now*, what
am I to do? I must get rid of this"—
he raised a hand to his head—"some
how, I can’t very well take It off In the
corridor, either. If any one should
see me • • • and besides !"
Disconsolately, he wandered back to
his former carriage. Mr. Carshott
looked up ns he entered.
‘Hullo!—back again?" he remarked,
pleasantly. "Here, I say," he Inter
jected hastily, "don’t be an idiot now!

Keep that wig on or you'll be recog

may get through all right. I know
they want you for that Liverpool af

Presently a slackening of speed her
alded their arrival nt the next station.
Mr. Carshott withdrew his head from
the window. -
"Be careful not to say anything that
will give mo away," he aald, beseech
ingly.
And he deliberately set himself to
crawl under the seat.
The train stopped. An inspector and
two constables opened the door ab
ruptly. The sound almost awnkened
the Hnnorablo Peter Logram, for he
grunted and shifted his position
slightly.
"Beg pardon, air.” The Inspectors
tone, as he tapped the sleeper on the
shoulder was distinctly apologetic.
"Haven’t seen a chap In a top hat and
frock coat, small black mustache and
dark complexion, I s'poseT
Mr, Logram opened hi* eyes lazily'.
"Eh! Have I seen what?" He waxed
Indignant. "How dare you come here
disturbing people like thl*! Cant you
attend to your own buslnes without my
help?"
"All right, sir; all right! Dont you
worry. If you've been asleep, of course
• • • " The two constables follow
ed the Inspector In. ,
Rough hands presently dragged Jim-
my Carshott, dusty and disconsolate,
into the light of day.
Mr. Logram watched the prisoner
descend, with hla escort, to the plat-
form. Hla curiosity even led him, Im
prudently enough, to thrust his head
out of the window. _ ,,
"Come along, 8Ilm Jim, eald ons
u, the constables, almost rudely. 11
der you didn’t try on your games with
that gent In your carriage. Struck
by a sudden brilliant Idea, he
to the Honorable Peter: "Dldnt lose
anything while you were asleep, *
s’pose, sir?”
"No." said Mr. Logram.
Turning abruptly, he caught the in
spector's eye. The latter was staring
at him with a gaxe of fixed Intensity.
His face bore a puzxled expression, as
If he were trying to recall some fai t
from the unfathomable recesses of nt*
official mind. Mr. Logram sank back
Into his seat.
"Er—good afternoon, he said, nur
rledly, through the window. "Fine—er
The train began to move slowly, hut
to his dismay the inspector walked
alongside. „ ,,
"Got a w ig on, I notice, he said,
meaningly, leaning forward. Let s se ,
he burst out, suddenly; "let* * ee
you look with It off!” And before sir
Logram could foresee his Intention hi
hand shot forward and the Hon. Pe< r >
bald-headed once more, gasping In in
articulate rage. .. , .....
"Ha!" I know you now. Daddy v\u
jib. J nijow yuu **
son!" cried the stout Inspector, tri
umphantly, panting with his run.
With a violent effort he endeavored
to board a train, but his avolrdupot-
was against him, and it was moving
quickly by now. Gradually he was lert
behind. ., ,
Mr. Logram groaned; then set him
self to adopt drastic measures to coun
teract this, the latest development.
With considerable trouble he packed
his thick traveling overcoat into a
quite Inadequate space, and donned in
Its stead a light-colored dust-coat,
which he drew from one of his bags.
"Wish I’d never undertaken to get
these blessed wigs. Private theatricals
are a beastly nuisance."
But on arriving at the next station,
and noticing the careful preparations
made for his reception, the humorous
side of the affair came uppermost in
his thoughts. It Was with a sense ot
pleasurable excitement that he pa»*ea
successfully through the suspicious of
ficials who watted for ‘Daddy
In expectation of an epoch-mbklng
capture.
"Give me a few sticks of grease
paint, or whatever they call It, «>>
Jove!” said the Hon. Peter Logram
to himself triumphantly, "and let m>
hair grow a bit longer, and I back m> -
self to beat that chap Irving at his own
game!”
