Seth! There he IL lying in the road"
The old man had fallen. or had been
knocked from the wagon-the latter.
1t seemed, for there was q mark near
the temple suggesting . blow from
some blunt instrument. His pockets
were turned inside out. his watch and
the old purse he always carried were
gone. They carried him into the
house.
1t became known all over the dis
trict the next day that two thieves
had followed Mr.. Bingham from town.
in some way aware that he carried q
large amount of money around with
him. and had robbed him of the mort
gage money-$2.000.
Jared was dazed when he came back
to consciousness. He recalled being
assaulted by two men Just as he left
the wagon to secure the horse to the
hitching post.
Il had the money from the bank in
two one-thousand-dollar bills" he
said. I'D put them in an old snuff box
and kept that in my coat poch:lt.
where could constantly feel it. They
must have got it, yet-yet-" and he
tried to think hard-"it seems to me
that their coming at me warned me,
and clutched the box, and-and-no;
it's no use, I can't remember! It's
four years more hard work to make 1t
up, but I'm thankful they spared my
life."
They never discovered any trace
of the thieves. 1t broke up the old
man considerably to realize the tre-
mendous loss with which he had met.
Il hope his mind is going to be all
right" spoke Huldah anxiously to her
husband one day.
why should you think otherwise!"
asked Seth.
why, every once in a while father
stops work and goes out to the spot
where he was knocked from the wag-
on by those men. He Will stand star
ing there for full quarter of an hour
at the hitching post, as il it were a
sort of an oracle he was consulting"
We'll, it was a great shock. the
robbery" said Seth. but it will wear
OF with father after a time"
Seth had bought q new horse, q
great powerful animal, and he hitched
him up one morning to 60 to town.
The rig was all ready in front of the
house while the family were eating
breakfast. Suddenly. glancing out of
the side window, old Jared sprang
quickly to his feet and ran out of the
house.
That road roller IL coming"
shouted. land I'll bet it scared the new
horse. Too late! Too late! Slam
etty-bang! The animals gone, hitch
ing post and ALI"
The announcement was true. The
new horse had pulled the hollow post
up and was speeding down the turn
pike with 1t swinging behind him.
Seth started in pursuit. Father and
daughter stood staring after. Sudden
ly Jared uttered a strange cry. He
stopped over and from the scattered
dirt where the post had been pulled
from place picked up-his old snuff
box.
why, remember, clear as day,
now" he shouted. "Huldah!" and
he opened the box and the two $1,000
bills were safe and sound.
1t was true, and just then the con-
Meeting link in the mystery flashed
into the old mans mind. When the
robbers had attacked him he had
slipped the box over the edge into the
hollow tube, and time and circum-
stances had proven it to be a safe
hiding place.

Whichever way the two referendums

a good loser and it is the proper spirit
to bow to the will of the majority. If
prohibition wins it will become the per,
manent policy of the state for years at
least and local optionists should do
their best for the progress of the state
under the law as made by the MAORI.
ty If local option wins the prohibit
tionists should, recognize that It is be-
cause a majority think that it is better
for the cause of temperance and should
submit gracefully and without vain re-
grets The battle has been fought as
earnestly as possible and in the main
imperscnally. There have been some
slips on both sides but that is due to
the tensity that always attends sharp
contest. 1t is the part of wisdom and
tommonsense not to let resentment
linger after the election IS over.

WOULD MAKE THE
DOLLAR STANDARD
International News Service:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
federal reserve board will give its
strong backing to a fight on the
part Of the American bankers to
make dollar exchange the standard
in the far east.
1t was learned today that a plan
is under consideration for the extern
sion of American banking facilities
liz the orient, designed to undermine
the campaign that Japanese banks
are making for financial supremacy
in the eastern market. The federal
reserve bank Of San Francisco short
" will name banks in Manila, Hong
Kong, Yokohama and Melbourne,
Australia. as foreign correspondents.
This move is designed to put a stop
to the drawing of far eastern bills
of exchange OF London and switch
the business TO the United States.
1t is hoped the plan can be per-
fected before the end of the war so
that Americans can get a firm hold
on oriental trade before the Euro
pean banks and business houses re-
sumed their trade relations in the
far east.
