STRUGGLE TO SAVE GIRL
Boy Twice Pulled Under and Helped

Jennie Moran, aged 10. came out Of
her house in Filton road and threw a
note to a youth Of the same age nam
ed William Bednall, saying. "Give this

Something told me to follow her."
said Bednall. The girl ran across
some fields toward the canal, with
Bednall in pursuit. and when she
reached the water she jumped into
the middle Of the canal. It was dark
at the time.
Though Bednall was not q very Ok
perienced swimmer, having only
learned to swim last year, and despite
the fact that he was handicapped by
his heavy corduroy trousers and rail-
way boots, he did not hesitate a mo-
ment.
Diving into the canal, he swiftly
reached the side Of the drowning girl
and brought her up on his back. Then
he swan with her to the bank.
There a heroic fight for the girls

said:

is, how long had that insect been en-.

had been called for last, but the at.

ALBERT S. Osborn, author Of 'Ques-
toned Documents and an authority
on the subject, declares that the forg-
cry loss in this country for the year
l011 is fully SIS. 000. 000," writes Frank
Marshall White In the Munsey. In an
article, 1.-THE Day of the Forger," the
writer quotes Osborn as saying:
Clever penmen are leaving a trail of
bad checks reaching from Portland,
Me-, to Portland, Ore. Banks and no.
tells are naturally the shining marks
Of the forger; but nearly, If not
quite, as much money Is paid out on
forgeries by individuals, small store
keepers, and business houses as by all
the banks and hotels combined. A
large proportion, especially of the
unreported forgeries, is in amounts
Of less than 500. If the forger of a
small check has vanished. and only
a doubtful clue remains, the natural
impulse Is not to "send good money
after bad" In most cases, nothing is
done, and the criminal goes on his
way unhampered and unafraid. Banks
naturally do not care to have it
known that they pay out customers
money on forged paper, and II the
forger Ia gone they are not inclined
70 take much trouble to find him."
