been to lodge. His wife didn't say
much to jim. but she decided to look
through his pocketbook and see II
she could find any lodge receipts, and
then she would be able to know for
sure whether or not Jim had been TO

bank checks. each signed by a respon-
sible man. on the corner Of each
check were the same mysterious
words, For b. c." which she had
discovered on her husbands expense

him on a long journey. Next morn
ing, while Jim was still asleep, she
hurried over to the home of a neigh
bor, one who had given a "B. g."
check TO Jim, showed the check TO
the mans wife, and sympathized with
her because her husband was also
buying pretty things for the hated
blonde lady. Betty Goodnight. Where
upon the neighbor lady laughed boist-
erously, informing Jim's wife that a
her house last night, engaged in a
guessing contest. and that each of the
ncighbors had TO give the lucky Jim

the corner of his check. indicating
