Instantly, however, the latter flashed Into his thoughts as he passed a vacant lot two blocks from home. "Hands up!" sounded an ominous voice. Three men had suddenly sprung Into view from behind some shrubbery. One pointed a revolver at Mr. Taylor. "Keep a look out," he directed one of his accomplices. Then to the third : "Get away with the stuff," and the man addressed wrenched from the grasp of Mr. Taylor the portfolio he carried under his arm and started to move away. "You keep quiet for a spell, or Til bore a bole lu you," threatened the first hold-uman. He came a step nearer to his victim. Mr. Taylor was fairly terrified. James D. Phelan, former United Nathan F.
