stated by the town authorities that
the shortage in the books may reach
the sum of $4,000.
According to the statement of an
official of the town of Montville Sun
day evening Arnold is under bonds as
tax collector for $4,000, five men of the
town being his bondsmen. These are
Judge Charles w. Comstock, Frederick
A. Johnson, Joseph r. Killeen, Post
master NJ Tooker and Thomas Doyle
who became his bondsmen when he
was elected for his second term as
collector
In this city Arnold was well known
and those who heard of his disappear
ance Sunday night passed the COM
ment that a reason for the disappear
ance Of the man and the money could
probably be found in Arnold's sport
ing proclivities and that bad luck at
poker might be the cause of it all.
His sporting prOclivities were also
known in Montville.
Arnold has been a collector for a
local clothing house.

GLASTONBURY COUPLE
IDENTIFIED FRANK SAYLES
Stayed with Them a Month and Took
Gold Watch Besides Playing Trick
on Housewife,

Saturday q couple from Glastonbury
came here to see Frank Sayles, be-
lieving him to be the man who had
deGrauded them, inasmuch as they
had read of his work in the papers.
They told Chief Murphy. after seeing
Sayles at the Jail, that he was the
fellow who was with them for a month.
Promising to bring his fine team to
their place for them to use, Sayles
induced the wife to accompany him
to Hartford by train. while the hus-
band drove in. The husband never
found any trace Of the couple where
he was to meet them, because Sayles
had directed the wife to go into a
shoe store there and get the best pair
of shoes in the store and he would be
back directly to pay for them. He
claimed to have some business up the
street
She got the shoes, a pair fit for a
queen and after they were done up,
sat down to wait. She would have
been there yet if she had attempted to
sit there until he came. When they
started for Hartford Sayles offered to
take the gold watch Of a young woman
at the house, to Hartford and have it
repaired The offer was gratefully
acceptH and the watch went with
Sayles.
Sayles recognized the couple at the
jail and admitted his wrong doing,
but promised restitution if they would
not prosecute him. He claimed the
watch was taken from him while in
bad company. 1t is probable that the
Glastonbury authorities will be asked
by the couple to prosecute Sayles.
The woman in the case, however, got
much pleasure out Of the story as she
told Of being buncoed by Sayles.
Chief Murphy also had inquiry Sat
urday from New Britain concerning
Sayles end a warrant from that sec
ton would not be surprising

add much to its attractiveness.

Saving and Investing for the
Thrifty.
The Cash Value OF the Saving
Habit.
BY JOHN VI. OSKISON.

A story is going the rounds which il
illustrates admirably point I have made
more than ance in these little articles
that an employee who understands the
value of the habit of saving in his own
life is likely to be more valuable to his
employer than the thriftless worker, ir-
al equipment for work This is the story:
A western railroad has undertaken to
encourage its employees to make sug-
gestions for saving expenses in the opera
ton of the road. No item is too small to
consider One operating official suggested
that the length Of the common pins they
were using could be cut down one-six-
teenth of an inch without affecting their
fitness for the uses to which they were
put. This was done, and the saving
amounted to about 921.000 pins a year.
for the pins We're bought by the pound.
and there were 2J6 more of the shorter
pins in pound than of the old size.
In money. the saving for the year on
pins was $S1. That was not a great sum.
to be sure, but the railroad officials pointed
out that IL every employee of the road
made an equally valuable suggestion, the
total annual saving would amount to
100000 for the road. That sum would
be sufficient to pay the regular dividends
on the stock, and prosperity for that road
would be assured.
The whole business Of living may be
regarded as a process Of spending and
getting-and IL Is worth while only IL
what you get amounts to q little more
than what you spend. Measure your
return in any way you hkeIn money,
personal happiness. in doing good to
others. Saving-the conservation Of
fair share of that which is worth while
lis the first step toward keeping the
balance on the right side. Learn to do
IN in QfIalrS. and IL will
be long before II will be intolerable to
you to see the balance on the wrong side
of any business with which you are con-
nected as an employee
