asked to come down there and advert
their wares, resources and oth t
tractions to the millions of people t"
fair directors and the people of Seatt
generally hope to bring West in lit*!1
That is all there is to it.
Of coarse Seattle will work to get a
the benefit that there is to be tfotte
for Seattle out of the fa;r. It w

and that will be the same extent t h:-.t
it helps Seattle to boost W hid by i?

? An Amateur Thief, f
???*(>???????< ??? ??????? ??????$
(Original.)
Two friends, Wallace Yost anil Clin
ton Palmer, were discussing the blun
ders made by criminals In covering
tiieir (racks. Vost was speaking.
"I tell you (lie criminal from the mo
ment lie becomes a criminal lias not a
normal control of lits faculties."
"He should have a far keener control
of them than before. ll:ul 1 committed
a crime my faculties would be sharp
as a razor."
"1 should like to have that statement
tested."
"It Is possible. Make it worth my
while, and 1 v. ill commit a crime."
"What do you meanV"
Palmer tli ai:;h( awhile before reply
ing- "1 will bet you ? 1 ,000 to $10,000
that 1 can steal Slo.ooo and not be de
tected for, s:i\. a year. 1 will take the
money from the safe of my employer,
to which I and others have access. The
money can be returned uiionymouslv
at the end of the year with interest."
"The conditions will not be criminal.
It' you are arrested. I can come for
ward and claim that It Is merely a
wap'r."
"That would ii"t I"' evidence. Any
thief could get some friend lo put lu
such a elaiui for 1-ui."
"1 believe \ uu'iv ri_r*it. So far as be
lug considered a criminal l? coueerned.
UiiTe would be ii?? hope ft r you."
The bet was made, and I'nhucr the
next day during business hours, while
the oliice was crowded. walked dellb
erately into the safe, widt h stood open,
put a package of bills in his side coat
pocket. went and sat down at his desk,
remained there till the hour of closing,
then wont out in company with n mem
ber of the lirtu. Going t.j Ills room, he
snt down to think over what lie should
do with the money. Ills brain was
clear, and he was pleased to discover
that he had perfect control of his fac
ulties'. There had been so many peo
ple In the oliice at the time the money
was takeu. the safe landing opeu the
while, that there was no reason why i
he should be suspected nay more than
others. Nevertheless all the o.Ilce fore
would be placed under surveillance. A |
detective would -be employed, whose
eye would be open to the slightest
clew. Palmer's room might be search
ed when he wns ab-ct.t. so he couldn't
leave the money there. lie dared not
p:it it In bank. lie must get lid of it. 1
Here was a risk that he was force I
to take. If he were ?een hiding the
money. If It were discovered In any
place that would Incriminate him, the
game would be up. However. be be
lieved that the risk would be Infinites
Itnal. and lie spent several hours mak
ing plans f r the disposition of the
funds. The theft had not been discox
.?red before the closing lion's of bn-i
ue?s and could not possibly l?e dl
.overed till the bcg'nnlng of buslne*
Iv not lie watched till then, it at a!!.
After dinner lie went to his grand
mother's, who lived a few miles out In
the country, and when It was dark ami
no <>ne noticed liirn he strolled hack "f
the hons.>. Taking it spade from the
|K, in, he went a few hundred yards to
a wood. There tirder a tiee he knew
v. <-11 he had oft eu climbed it when a
?my he buried tin* bills In a cigar box.
lie felt now (hat I lie rest would l?
ea-\v. He won:d go t? the oliice. as
usual, in the morning feeling sure that
the theft could tt"t be traced to him.
Ml he had to do was to a t naturally.
lie slept fairly well and al t> o'clock
In the morning entered the otl ? p. The
employees we-v coming in. and one of
the partners. Mr. Kuos. was already
there. Palmer tast a quick glance
alwut him and saw that all was as
usual. He sat down at his tick and
tried to lose himself In Ids work. Rut
he couldn't. He dreadeil the moment
when the money would l>e missed.
Then he lie gan to wish the discovery
would be made and his suspense end
ed. About 1 1 o'clock the cashier went
Into the safe and soon returned with
a serious look on his face. Going to
the head of the firm, Mr. Devlin, he
whispered winiethlng In his ear. The
gentleman arose and went to the saft
with the cashier. Both entered, and
both came out together, the head o?
the firm taking In with a searching
glauce every man In the oftlce.
Palmer's heart was beating like a
kettledrum, and he felt the blooj leav
ing his face. Should he look at Ids cm
ployer or keep his eyes 011 his work?
Ho had wit enough left to choose the
latter course, but he felt that the eye
of his employer was ou hlui. and to
look unconcerned was out of the ques
tion.
"Mr. ['aimer, ? III yon step Into uiv
private office?"
Palmer knew that the first part ?>T
his same hud gone against hliu, but he
was plucky. Indeed, ho hail to be
plucky and nerved himself for a strup
gle as to the remaining part. He de
nied any knowledge of the theft and
explained his pallor 011 the ground that
he wax ii< -t well. Mr. Devlin pretend
ed at le nt to be convinced of his Inno
cence and -sent him back to work.
That's the last Palmer heard of the
matter. He could have borne the
strain better had he heard more. For
weeks he endured the tortures of the
damned and when he could endnre It
no longer went to his aunt's, dug up
the money and. going to Mr. Devlin,
laid it on bis desk.
Palmer, having returned the money,
was not prosecuted. The clrcumstaucos
of the bet were given out, but made
little Impression, rainier went forth
with the mark of Cain upon him and
died in a few years of the obloquy uu
der which he lived.
