use a good face lotion that will inn

that will do wonders as a skin

and roughness and gives the skin q

nesday morning confronted EDWARD =.
Kindred. an employe of Booth a.
Finn. the contracting firm with head
quarters in Pittsburg. Kindred sat In
his own car In front of the Liberty
National Bank after having cashed q
check for the company. He apparent
iy answered the question to himself
by saying. beat 1t as fast as you can
II appearances speak for anything.
that Is exactly what Kindred did. The
automobile was found in the afternoon
In Worth Street securely locked. In
the car was q black bag containing
$474.7o. All of the $50. $40. IS. 81
and 81 bills which had been obtained
from the bank were gone. and so was
Kindred. The police have vainly
sought for Kindred and the bills.
Kindred had been In the employ OF
Booth and Flynn. OF which William
A. Flynn. the big Bull Moose politician
Of Pittsburg. is the chief figure, ever
since the company took over some big
contracts In this State three years ago.
Kindred, who In twenty-eight years
old, and weighing over 2o0 pounds,
was . prepossessing fellow who was
among the employees taken over from
another company with the contracts.
He made n favorable impression on
his new employers
Getting = salary of $3.50 a month,
he assisted the cashier OF the company
in making up the payrolls and was q
sort of head timekeeper, getting re-
ports from the timekeepers on differ
ent Jobs throughout the city.
He had gone to the bank on various
occasions accompanied by another
man to cash checks OF $1,000 or sl,-
900. but never for any large amounts.
Trips for the payroll checks were al
ways made by the cashier. but never
by Kindred. who was not bonded.
But when the cashier, who IL ad-
vanced In years. and has been Ill re-
Gently. reached the once Wednesday
he was pleased at the offer Of Kindred
to so to the bank for him and cash
the payroll check.

The cashier thanked Kindred and
directed another clerk. John Berry,
to accompany Kindred to the bank.
After they emerged from the bank
ana placed the bag containing the
money In the front seat. Kindred sud
denly remembered something he wish

Barry and said:
"Oh. I've got to get draft for

I wish 10 purchase by mail Would
you mind going In ana getting the

bank. When he emerged he found
