John, "don't look so frightened. No
ones going to hurt you while you're
with me- Come here, my dear"
His voice was so low, so tender,
that Mrs. Curtis ground her teeth in
rage, and Uriah Devon felt his power
ebbing away.
Tonnibel walked swiftly to Doctor
Johns side and slipped her hand into
his.
"Those two said / couldn't even say
good-by toto" She bowed her
head against the kindly arm that sup
ported her and for a moment was so
agitated she could not proceed.
Hush, DEAR" pleaded Pendlehaven.
''Hush! Do you want to stay here?'
Eyes, oh, yes, sir, 1 do, indeed, sir ~
she cried. "But-but-"
"Then you'll stay" the doctor told
her in a voice low-pitched and stern.

Uriah.
"Then you have the law at your

doctor, "and you, Sarah, I'll ask you
to attend to your own affairs after
this"
"But, Cousin john" argued Mrs.
Curtis, 'she's the mans own child.
Surely he has right to-to-''
A sound of a bell pealing through
the house cut off her words. Then
came heavy footsteps in the hall. Be-
fore anyone could figure on the cause
of this commotion, the door burst
open and several uniformed men
came in. When Uriah Devon caught
sight of them, he made dash for the
window, but two heavy officers were
on him before he was half way across
the room. 1t took but a few minutes
for the officials to explain to Doctor
Pendlehaven that they had been trail
ing Devon for long time, that he
was wanted for a crime in Syracuse.
When they were leading him out
manacled and deeply enraged, he
turned on Tonnibel.

place behind the COW, and held its
tail so that it could not whisk dust
into the milk during the milking.
The maid now turned to the other
man, and poured a little water over
his hands, as he squatted by the side
of the COW. After washing, the man
held his hands together raised, until
the other milkmaid placed the milk
pot between his knees, when he MIXED
the amount the COW was expected to
give. Neither of these men must look

LOCAL VETERANS
 MEET TONIGHT

An interesting meeting of Harry w. Congdon Post, No. Il, American Le- zion, will be held at post headquar- ters this evening when election of of ficers will take place. All members of the local War Veterans post the commander for the coming year. At this particular time it is necessary that a good choice be made, in order to carry on the great work which the American Legion has before 1t.
 The local post has been fortunate since it's inception but it is now most anxious that the best leader among its ranks shall be chosen to guide the work of the World War veterans dur promises to be a greater year in the annals of the Legion than any befsre and great stress will be laid on the fact from time to time, that the en- tire personnel of the enlisted forces of the American army and navy should be found now in the American Legion.
 No organization was ever founded upon more noble ideals than the Le- zion and the country at large has it's interests at heart. It is being watch the mothers and fathers especially, of the veterans are with the Legion, in cludipg as 1t does in its membership the greatest unSe1fiSh body of men who ever gathered under the leader ship of a national society.
 For many reasons which the mem bers know about and which are self evident it Is necessary that the whole hearted support of every veteran be given to this great movement, and all are especially urged to attend the election tonight

to learn is whether you advise my selling
some of the Liberty bonds u. j. D.
Answer-You can, of course, sell your
Liberty bonds, or a part of them, and
invest the proceeds in we'll secured
bonds which will give you higher re-
turn. At the same time, before you
make up your mind to do this you
should realize fully that in exchanging
your Liberties for any other security
whatsoever you are sacrificing some
portant, we should think, to a man of
your age You do not tell us what you
paid for your Liberties, but if you
bought them at par you will have to
take considerable loss in selling them
at this time, which ought also to be
taken into consideration. If you make
up your mind to sell them, however,
we think that you uoght to invest the
proceeds in bonds of the highest grade,

mortgage on the entire property of the

trio power plant at Niagara Falls,

say $4,000, in bonds of the sort we
have mentioned above. You would not
be sacrificing SO much of safety by do
ing as you would in selling your Lib

larger increase in the return on your
funds.
