 Mr. Warner was greatly astonisbed and immediately made inquiries. He laid the case before Chief Webster. A visit to the savings bank revealed the fact that an order had been received there week ago yesterday that Mr. McElroy's bank book had been lost. The customary entry was made in the books of the bank by MT. Pardee, but he was unable to state whether the notification came by let ter or otherwise. A search in the waste pa- per deposit of the bank brought out an en- velope upon which Mrs Warner thought she recognised her fathers handwriting. The envelope was postmarked Worcester, Mass.
