One Dollar Saved Represents Ten

The average man does not save to
exceed 10 per cent of his earnings.
He must spend 80 in living expenses
for every dollar saved. That being
the case, he cannot be too careful
about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested.

tract of road which wound a reddish

From the instant that we passed the

but we fastened onward at such a
pace that my sedentary life began to
tell upon me, and was compelled to
fall behind. Holmes, however, was al

which to draw. His springy step never
slowed until suddenly, when he was a

appeared round the curve of the road
and ratified swiftly toward us.

Holmes as ran painting to his side.

We ran frantically down the path,

with a choke and gurgle.
''This way! This way! They are in

darling through the bushes. "Ah, the
cowardsy dogs! Follow me, gentlemen!
Too late, too late, by the living jingo!"
We had broken suddenly into love
ly glade of greensward surrounded by
ancient trees. On the farther. side Of
it, under the shadow of mighty oak,
there stood singular group of three
people. One was woman, our client,
dropping and faint, handkerchief
round her mouth. Opposite her stood
brutal, heavy faced, red mustached
young man, his gathered legs parted
wide, one arm akimbo, the other wav-
ing a riding crop, his whole attitude
suggestive of triumphant bravado. Be-
tween them an elderly, gray bearded
man, wearing a short surplice over
light tweed suit, had evidently just
completed the wedding service, for he
pocketed his prayer book as we APP
peared and slapped the sinister BRIDE
groom upon the back in jovial congrat-
ulation.

"Come ont" cried our guide. Come
on!' He rushed across the glade,
Holmes and l at his heels. AS we ap-
preached the lady staggered against
the trunk of the tree for support. Will
hanson, the ex-clergyman, bowed to
us with mock politeness, and the bully,
Woodley, advanced with shout Of
brutal and eXultant laughter.
"You can take your beard of, Bob"
said he. 81 know you right enough.
Well, you and your pals have just
come in time for me to be able to In
troduce you to Mrs. Woodley."
Our guides answer was a singular
one. He snatehed off the dark beard
which had disguised him and threw it
on the ground, disclosing long, sal
low, clean shaven face below 1t. Then
he raised his revolver and covered the
young ruffian, who was advancing up
on him with his dangerous riding crop
