Barney-the bright lad, upon whom he
had lavished every care, for whom he
had made life sacrifice-Barney, to
die there in the Canadian wood where
both had been happy together, and to
die by his own volition!
The disgrace which went before
seemed naught In comparison with this
bitter finale. 1t would be simple
matter to replace the money which
Barney had dishonesty confiscated for
his own use. Barney might have
known that he, Dave, would forgive
the forging of his name. Dependency
alone could have driven the youth to
the desperation of that last deed. The
woman was to blame, Of course. Dave
was sure of that. How openly Barney
had prated of his love for her. 1t had
been to gain her favor that the man
had taken sums which could not be re-
placed. This last scribbled note told
how all costly gifts had been returned.

pathetically-"and never did. There's

HARLAN WORKERS
FOR WAR SAVING

A three day campaign for War saw
ings Stamps. was inaugurated at the
Harlan plant Of the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation yesterday after
noon. Meeting in the restaurant Of the
plant, foremen heard about the needs
Of the country from a financial stand
point and also all the details about the
purchase Of stamps. John 5. Hossell,
president Of the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company was the speak
er and his remarks made a strong i'm
preston upon the men.
He called upon the men to make a
sacrifice for the boys across the seas,
saying that they were shedding their
blood that those at home might escape
the rigors Of such a war and also the
peace which will eventually follow a
deciding victory by the Allies. He
compared the sacrifice made at home
as little with that being made daily on
the other side.
The speaker closed with an appeal to
the patriotism Of the workmen to do
their part while the others across the
waters were doing theirs, and his urg-
ing met with ready response. shown
in the eagerness with which the men
seized the educational leaflets explain
ing about the loan and also the pledge
cards.
The Harlan workmen will conduct the
campaign with the same committees
that proved so successful in the Lib
erty Loan campaign and will report
each night the amount Of sales of the
day.
