who was the son-in-law OF a certain
well known banker. and that he would
also sell goods 10 a man In south Eend
who had only just opened a store in hat
place. The names Of the Astoria banker
and the South Bend merchant were re-
vealed In his dream. Upon reaching As
toria he said he inquired about the bank

was. and that he also learned there was
a merchant in South Bend Of the nam

he would go dow to the priest and take
the pledge he woul lend him the money,
and he needn't pay II as long as he kept
from drinking. At that rate It was likely
to be a short-lived loan. Mike came back
a note from the priest and received
he money. When the clouds break away
