Otherwise, Arthur R. Barnard, teller of the: Zion City bank, 111., might not have3 disappeared so suddenly as he did. This Zion is an earthly one, and the teller was a bank teller, exposed to the usual earthly temptations. More- over, it is near Chicago, and conse- quently this Zion is decidedly differ- ent from the Heavenly one, and de- faulting bank tellers are as likely to be found there as elsewhere. Barn- ard’s disappearance was reported to the police by his father, who is cash- ier of the bank. He believes his son has been kidnapped, and is held for ransom, a belief Which is shared by the head of the bank and several members of Mr. Barnard’s church. The kidnapping theory is not enterâ€" tained so strongly by the police. They think it more probable that young Barnard has been held up by robbers and possibly injured.
