Why, It's the very ring. isn't itr'
he exclaimed.
~Of course II vs., sssented the man.
The gold in the old ring isn't worth
thinking about. but somebody values
II as a relic"
why, | should think you would re-
turn it right away" suggested Alvin.
"Humph-T'm in nice trim TO do
that; / can hardly walk" retorted the
maa. II must get some money right
away. You notice there is reward
OF two hundred dollars offered. Say.
you can help me-"
why, how is that?" asked the in
experienced Alvin.
We'll, you find somebody who will
give me forty dollars cash for the
ring. and I'll give you ten dollars for
your trouble. I'll wager you don't
know of an easier way to pick up ten
dollars in half an hour"
Alvin reflected. He reresd the adj
vertisement, he inspected the ring.
They tailed. everything looking
straight and regular.
See here" he said finally, Il have
a little money. ! could take up your
offer, but it doesn't look right to get
all that profit out of man in your I'M
fortunate position"
Don't you speak Of that" promptly
reioined the other. I'm glad to put a
little speculation in the way OF a fell
low who takes the interest you do in
a poor down-and-outer like me-"
So the deal was made. Alvin had
Just six dollars left out OF his fifty
after the transaction. He was elated
as he took a street car. He had to
make several transfers before he
reached Ninety-frst avenue, way at
the other end Of the city. Then he
looked for No hap. He reached his
destination at last--a vacant lott
Slowly IT dawned upon Alvin that
he had been sHJndled. His heart sank.
Where was his new suit, the present
for Nettie, his respectable establish
ment in new society! Then he walked
on, downcast.
Alvin paused as he came to build
ing bearing the sign Police Station"
He entered 1t quite hopelessly, but re-
cited his story to the sergeant
why, say" observed the latter,
after smiling at his visitors gullibillty,
that ring description sounds sort of
familiar to me-" and he scanned a
complaint book Here we are" he
continued That ring was among a
lot of valuable jewelry stolen Il month
ago. You wait here"
The officil telephcned N arnut an
hour portly well-Gressed gentlsnan
appeared in his automobile. The ssr-
geant explained to him, He was tho
person whose home had been robbed.
He was greatly pleased to recover
/ the ring, valuing it greatly as an old
! family heirloom. The sergeant Sc
cured perfect description Of the
swindler from Alvin.
Mr.. Seward, the man who had been
robbed, insisted on taking Alvin
home with him. The next day the
swindler was arrested, and the re-
mainder Of the plumber was recovered
at pawn shops.
When Alvin left the city, he carried
present of one hundred dollars
from Mr.. Seward The latter was
much interested in his story. He told
Alvin that whenever a good business
chance came up he would finance him.
Alvin never needed that co-opera-
ton. With his doubled nest egg and
his eye teeth cut, he soon became
partner with his new employer. Then
he married the giSl of his choice who,
Of course was the girl who had wait

THE subject Of mothers pensions is
one Of the important pieces Of legisla-
ton to be taken hold Of by our state
legislature during its present session.
This was one of the planks in the Re-
publican platform in 1912 The plan
does not entail additional expense as it
is simply taking funds already used for
charitable purposes and applying them
in a better manner.

Washington, Sept 22.-Samuel I'm
termyer, counsel for the house money
trust investigation committee, of the
last congress, gave his ideas on cur
lrency reform today to the senate
banking committee. Mr. Untermyer
endorsed generally the principles Of
the administration currency bill pass
ed by the house last week, but sug-
gested a number of amendments.
Mr.. Untermyer said the bill guaran-
teed to- the banks entering the system
monopoly of the banking business
of the country.
I'm that respect the bill is more gen
erous than any banking system in the
world" said he.
Mr.. Untermyer added that by using
his vivid oriental imagination" he
could conceive of a situation in which
the federal reserve board, by fixing
the discount rate, could bring about
period of easy money for political
purposes. He said he believed the
minimum limit Of one-half per cent
discount. rate was too low.
Senator Bristow declared tne
small country bankers would be un-
fairly treated under the bill. Mr. I'm
termyer and Chairman owen endeav-
ored to show that the country banks
would be able to hold and use their
resources to much better advantage
than they now do. Mr.. Untermyer de.
olared that by making commercial pa
per a liquid asset, the bill would keep
away from New York millions Of
country money now placed there in

Many thousands of citizens blocked
the sidewalk from curb to building

the ten blocks Of lower Broadway
from the city hall to the church. The
low-lying clouds lifted shortly before
the long cortege started, and over
the march to the church the sun shone
brightly.
Heading the thrcng Of marchers
was single line Of eight mounted
police. Behind them came the police
band, playing the dead march, a regi-
ment of mounted police u abreast,
and another regiment Of police on foot
in lines that stretched across Broad

official committees Of the city, two
companies of city hall policemen who
had come in daily contact with the
mayor during his lifetime-and the
long train Of organizations and fndI-
yiduals chosen from the many who
applied for places in the funeral train

BIXBY TO TESTIFY
IN own BEHALF
THE ACCUSED MILLIONAIRE AN
NoUNCES THAT HE WILL
TAKE THE STAND

Los Angeles, Sept. 20 Speculation
as to whether george H. Bixby, the
Long Beach millionaire on trial in
the superior court on charges of hav-
ing contributed to the delinquency
of two girls, would testify in his own
defense, was ended today by the an
nouncement of his attorneys that he
would take the stand and make a
sweeping denial of all accusations.
His counsel said Bixby would re-
quire the greater part Of days
court session to give his direct testi-
mony and that some half dozen other
witnesses would be called in his be-
half. The prosecution, it was said,
wouId prepare to subject tha dsfeild
ant to a severe cross examination.
Bixby Wins a Point
George U. Bixbys battle to shut
off any further testimony such as
that given against him last week by
cleo Helen Barker, one Of his girl
accusers, was successful today
Judge Bledsoe, presiding at the trial
of the millionaire, ruled that while
other girls might be permitted to go
on the stand, they must not testify as
to the details of their relations with
him at the Jonquil resort.
The court in making the ruling,
stated that rather than permit any
thing preiudicial to Bixby to go be
fore the jury, he would give him the
benefit Of doubt and exclude the
intimate testimony or all the girls In
volved except that of Miss Barker,
the complainant in the case now on
trial.
with this understanding Marie
Brown-Levy, complainant in another
case still pending against The million
aire, was placed on the stand to tes-
tify to things she knew regarding the
relations between Bixby and the Bar
ker girl
