 Rogers put the $7,O06 check in his | pocket. There was suspicion of mois. ture in his eyes and catch in his voice as he thanked the Jew. who went his way hastily
 In the days that darkeued the close of 1907 tho life insurance companies literally were begged for money by men who offered excellent security. | Everybody was turned down yet everybody begged and begged. One man in asking for a loan sn his prop. crty said if he did not get it 1t meant ! ruin to him. The appraiser reported l favorably. but even as he wrote the report he knew the application would be denied. And 1t was rejected hatly and curtly. As the clerk was carrying the papers out Of the controllers office | Rogers happened by. A name indorsed | on the folded sheet caught his atten. l tion. He asked a few questions and then looked at the paper. Tn a flash he realized the whole situation. The lame on the back of the paper was hat of the Jew. and if that loan was
 eiacted his friend would be in dire ! inancial straits
