SEVEN COURTLAND
 STORES ENTERED
Money Main Object of Bur- glars, But They Secure
 Only Small Amount

courtland, February 2o.-Cspecial) Courtiand was visited last night by an organized band of burglars, who broke open and entered seven stores. Money seemed to be the object Of their search. as a very few articles of mer- chandise were missing. Entrances were made by breakingF locks and windows. The total amount of the raid will not exceed SS5, as all of the merchants had cleaned up their Sat urdays sales and either deposited in bank or locked up in their safes. The uoor of the safe in s. Moore & Co.'S store was forced, but the inner vault, where the money was kept. baffled the thieves and they could not get it open. The stores burglarized were o. P. Eggleston, Horton & Terry, S Moore & Co.,, S. S. Pippen, Rebman Hardware company. A. F. Rebman & Co, and Hokett &s Go.
 One of the thieves in making his exit from the Rebman Hardware com Iany left pistol on the counter. which may furnish clue to the bur glars.

CHAPTER XIV

Simon Turner had given Dave very
definite instructions concerning his
embassy to Hudson. "The first thing
this Bruce will do," Simon had said,
'is to hunt up Hudson-the one living
man that witnessed that agreement
between Ross and old Folger. One
reason is that he'll want to verify
Linda's story. The next Is to per-
suade the old man to go down to the
courts with him as his witness. And
what you have to do is line him up
for our side first"

that's the best way?"

Dim though the voice was, there

Hudson seemed quite sure of this
point, whether or not he knew any

A NOBLE STORY OF ACHIEVE
MENT

MEN
The American Red Cross will re-
tire during the present month from
its relief activities in Europe, aftor
having spent in the past eight years.
during four horrible years of war, and
the following four years, when con-
ditions in Europe, for a time were
almost as terrible as during the war,
the enormous sum of $400,000 900.
While a large portion of that must
have beer devoted to caring for Am
erican soldiers, yet the greater part
of this expenditure represents an I'M
selfish outpouring of American dol
lars to relieve the suffering of the
European countries. In connection
with the expenditure of the 400 ,O00,-
900, hundreds of American men and
women, Red Cross workers, gave
themselves. The story of the Ameri-
can Red Cross activities in Europe
from 1914 to 1922 is a story of which
America may always be proud.
It used to be said in Europe that
Americans are selfish and think only
of money. The superb demonstration
of charity given through the Red
Cross and other agencies should for
ever kill this SANDER.
Multitudes Of families in Europe
have been kept alive, made comfort
able, healed from sickness, trained for
better work, and restored to their
usual occupations, as the result of
these generous activities. 1T is an ex-
hibition of broad minded munificence
that could not have occurred in former
years. But the heart of America is
open wider than it used to be.
