Glen protested His deposits

ENDORSING CHECKS.
By E. N. PEAsE.

Bank checks are of two kinds
those payable to ''order" and those
payable to bearer. A check
made payable to bearer can be cash
ed by anyone, without Reimbursement
If the check is lost, the finder can
cash it as easily rs the owner.
If payable to John Doe or order"
the check is of no value to anyone
until John Doe endorses it. For
this reason, a check payable to 'or-
der is much safer to carry than
money. When lost, duplicate can
De obtained without delay or loss.
Many people have the impression
that when a bank asks them to en-
dorse a check write their name up
on the back Of it, that they are
guaranteeing it. This is not the
case. They are simply signing a
receipt for the money. OF course if
the check is cashed at a store and
the bank refuses payment to the
merchant because the maker has no
money in the bank, then the mer-,
chant can 90 back to the endorser
for his money. This is only right
and all can see the justice of it.
The proper place to endorse a
check or draft is across the back on.
the left end, but any place on the.
back is perfectly legal.
When check is transferred from
one person to another, unless it is
to be cashed at once, it is always
best for the holder to endorse it ov-
er to the person to whom it is to be
transferred. For instance, if e. l..
wishes to transfer check to Amos
Jones, the endorsement will be as
herewith.
Then 1T is not good until endorsed
by Amos Jones, or whoever the

would clean the spittoons, if thew

It's the kind of young man that

herself, and her blue eyes, ques
tioning and answering together
smiled at the hired man in a way
that made his heart leap up ane

Glenn stated his case again, this
time more fully and clearly He
wanted TO marry Lily. She nd ad-

Neither he nor Lily mad thought OF
that. Perhaps they could just go
on living at the Bake homestead.
He was saving most of his earnings,
and with that and the money from
the crops they planted on shares,
he was not actually penniless, ana

Then suddenly the old farmer S
wrath blazed forth. They were
counting on living on him and, by
and by coming into his property
were they? Well, they could undo
their plans. When Lily married,
she d marry man that could take
care OF her himself, and it would
never be hired man, either. Did
anyone suppose that he had given
his daughter an xpensive6ducati
to throw her away on a beggarly hir-
ed man who had planned to have
her father support her.
Glen Dillon grew white with rage.
The Hines of his usually good natur-
ed face settled themselves into grim
determination. All right, tonight

Glen slept on the matter, and
arose with two resolutions outlined
in his mind. He would stay thru
the year with the farmer, as he
might as well make the best of it,
as Blake had an undoutbed hold on
him. He would save every cent
that came his way, and at the end
of that time would have consider

with, but starter and maybe
something will come my way" be
reflected, with his usual optimism.
He unburdened himself to Lily at
the earliest opportunity.

That was the formulated creec
of Glen Dillon, Farmer Blake's hir

with unfailing energy and gooc

thought much of him.

peated by him to Mrs Blake, and
