~. THE LIARS CLUB

FULLY convinced of the truth of this extraordinary
womans tale, and with all the chivalry of roman
tic youth aroused, John Fenton set out to restore
the Jewels. With his pockets still bullying with
the treasure he left Schefel Hall and out into
chill misty night, intent upon his adventurous Grand.
What danger lay in wait he did not know care. He
was no longer poor, unknown craftsman; he a
knight Grant bent upon the of mpered honor.
The city had become of sudden strange, mysterious;
every shadow suggestion of malice So he walked
hurriedy along 1Sthst to the subway entrance Once
creased his speed. The lights of the glazed entrance
promised safe haven.
His haste, however, brought disaster. At the en-
trance step raised scant inch from the sidewalk.

Owing to the difference in time, there
Z only a few business hours Of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75% of the cable

Efficiency Mcreased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo-Amer.
lean and the Direct U. 8. companies
will bring the eight cables Of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase In
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services 40 it proposes to do, would
be to 10y new cables. This would
seem to be the height Of folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at q cost of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and wouldprobably postpone
the reduction Of rates OF Introduction

A provisional modification of an
Arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between

Company, under which the cable sys-
tens of these companies now worked
