trict is being urged by the War Savings
organization to live up to a financial
creed during 1920 Following is the

I will save consistently.
will invest thoughtfully.
To increase the financial strength of
my country and myself, I will buy gov
eminent securities.

tons my country thus incurred
/ will do these things to insure the
greatness of Americas future.

volver from it's case and presented it
in menacing view.
The intruder turned, dashed from
the room into the hall and disap-
peared. Valiantly triumphant, Ned
went back to the parlor, for the first
moment noticing a small satchel lying
open on a chair. Ii somewhat thrilled
him to observe strengthening articles
of steel within.

fairly awed. "And here's a great big
wallet stuffed full of papers and bank
notes. and right across it is stamped
the name of Martin Brill in gilt letters.

the old man before he came here"
Half an hour later Ned stood in the
garden of the Brill home. Gazing into
the one lighted room of the place he
saw Brill tied to a chair and striving
to dislodge a gag in his mouth. He
was frantic; he tore his hair; incoher-
emily he babbled forth the visit of

ITO your daughters home. A funny
thing has happened. and If you want
your wallet back you've got to go with
me there"
Half distracted. fully mystifed, Mar

posal. Arrived, Ned told his story,
produced the wallet and restored 1t to
its owner.
