low in Festival hall
In Ready Money, James Montgomery,
the author, presents vivid picture o
modern life showing how the very sight of
money begets money and arouses enthu-
siasm to the highest pitch. Briefly, Ready
Money tells the story of a young mine
owner, down and out because his partner
fails to make the ''Iucky strike in the Sky
Rocket gold mine which he bought on q
speculation. 1t is New Years eve, the
mine is about to be taken away from him
he finds it impossible to pay his debt
of $4,000. All his friends are in the
height of the New Year festivities, while
he is in the depths of dependency. While
in this situation, an expert counterfeiter
comes to offer him assistance. The hero
is suddenly confronted with money, piles
and piles of paper money, so beautifully
made that not even an expert can detect
the difference At first he IS temuted.
then his better nature revolts against de
ception, and he refuses to accept the offer
The money, however, Is left in his pos
session. His friends suddenly return from
their party to find him surrounded by this
unheard Of mass OF wealth. At cnce they
find. In spite of every effort on his pant
suspect Sky Rocket has turned ont a great
to explain, they force on him every cent
they can collect OF borrow in order that
they may buy stock and get in on the
ground floor. He is even forced to taxi
money from his sweetheart
Many complications now sey in Tn,
audience is kept i'll suspense and laughter
In the end honor triumphs and honesty
wins. The ready money Is not passed bu
Just as the creditors are to forcciosc golC

the fake money Is destroyed, and honest,
triumphs.

GIFT OF $1,000 TO
KURN HATTIN HOMES
Makes 1t Possible to Open Another
Dormitory, but Is Not Sufficient to
Fill It's a Challenge.

In the issue of the New England
Kurn Hattin Homes for April an
nouncement is made Of the gift of
81, 900 for providing for six additional
boys in the Ainsworth building. This
will necessitate opening another dor
mitory, which has capacity for 10
boys. The announcement Of the gift
and comment thereon are as follows:
- More than a year and half ago
the Ainsworth building at Westminstel
was dedicated. Several months passed
before, for financial reasons, it seemed
safe to open the building. Bat in
May, 1915, the trustees felt justified in
opening the building to 20 boys.
'.Those who are familiar with the
building know that on the second floor
there are four small! dormitories, one in
each corner, each of them supplying
most attractive sleeping place for live
boys. And now for nearly a year 20
boys have enjoyed life III the building
But in the third story there are two
larger dormitOries, each of them with
accommodations for ten boys, at least.
Up to the present time receipts have
not been sufficient TO Justify the use Of
either of the third floor dormitorics.
- Now comes q very substantial sort
of challenge Unquestionably a eooo
many friends are interested to have
/ the whole of Ainsworth building used,
One who has been blessed with suti-
cient means has sent into the office, Just
as the April magazine is going to press
a check of 1000 to provide for six
additional boys in the Ainsworth build
ing.
"Tbis gift of $1,000 makes it posi-
bic to open one of the larger dormi
tories Who cares to accept the ehal
lenge. to the extent of furnishing al o.
part of what is needed to make possible
the taking of the ten boys to fiji this
dormitory? f. L. Walker. treasurer
Bellows Falls, Vermont, viii be glat
to correspond with anyone who i
seeking an investment of 5000 to care
for the four or more boys, or with any
one who wishes to provide for even ont
boy at $3.50.
Since the announcement the 81 ,00t
gift has been increased b. $3.50.
