Nan Hurst would be followed by the
inevitable comment that he was seek

tune that his father had lost through
injudicious investment.
Although each knew of the others
love, Dick had not spoken and Nan
could not very well avail herself of
the leap year privilege of her sex.
Dick efforts to accumulate a for
rune were being rewarded slowly and
gradually. He had not enough mon
ey to marry Nan, but sufficient to
hold out the hope that some day a
sudden turn in his fortunes might
enable him to double his holdings.
For this reason Dick. coming sud-
denly upon Billy Hurst, smiled when
that dolorous youngster announced
that the bank had failed.
Ii could not be a very pad failure
and perhaps he might offer assistance
and save the day. In such an event
there was possibility of gaining his
leart's desire without the unpleasant
comment that might follow.

time that the sled had suffered in a
collision and Mr.. Hurst had declared

POLICE AS DOG CHASERs.

The duties of the police officer are
many and various in these days of
advanced civilization. A few days
ago aowoman called up the station
and said that she wanted an officer
sent to her residence Immediately
When asked what the trouble was,
she answered. Some dogs are run
ming around on my lawn and / want
them chased away" The woman
then gave her residence number but
when asked for her name she re-
fused to give it. OF course the only
thing that could be done was to not
ify the officer on the beat. This was
done. but he did not arrive there in
time to keep the citizen" from re-
questing the busy sergeant two or
three times more to please come and
chase the dogs himself if no one
else could be sent.
