several months before. When Valentine
regains his freedom he receives an oner
from Roses father to enter the employ
Of his bank in Western city. Here,
under a new name, Valentine rises TO a
position Of responsibility and trust, and
in the third act the audience sees him
installed as the cashier.

fession of guilt, he decides to remain
and attempt to prove an alibi through his

The battle Of wits between the detective
aud the cashier is one OF the most in

In the end the hero is triumphant, but
Just as the detective Is about TO leave,
the bank watchman rushes in calling for
jimmy and announcing that Roses
prisoned in the new bank vault and that
the combination has not been received

SALT IN THE POULTRY FOOD
No Living Thing Can Get Along En-
tirely Without II and Chickens
Should Have Food Salted.

Many people labor under the i'm
preston that no salt should ever be
put into poultry food, simply because
highly salted food, such as salt fish
or picked meat, has sometimes killed
chickens. As a matter Of fact, no liv-
ing thing can get along entirely with
out salt in some form. Chickens can
always get salt in summer by eating
grass, which absorbs certain
amount from the soil. But in winter
II Is different. During cold weather
al prepared chicken food. such as
mashes and boiled vegetables, should
be salted in about the same proper
tion as for human food. II this Is
done, the poultry will be healthier
