mans Manner of Wearing His
Diamond Ring.

The gentleman. obviously of Hebrew
extraction, had assembled his friends
round the festive board. After hav-
ing discussed satisfactorily the various
delicacies provided for their delecta-
ton they were called upon to admire
and appraise all his new and numer-
Gus possessions. But of all the latter
the one of which he was most proud
was a truly magnificent ring, which,
however, was so turned as to display
the diamond on the inside of his hand.
His brethren noticed this peculiar
ity and one of them demonstrated:
"Vy, Isaac" he said, sit is good
ring-I never saw better. But it is
on the wrong way round"
Isaac gave him a look of eloquent

ALL HE WANTED TO KNOW
Merchant Evidently Believed In the
Saying, at Isn't What You
Used to Be-"

Some time ago a young man went
to great store in Chicago to apply
for position and was fortunate
enough to be shown into the Office Of
the merchant prince himself, to whom
he stated the object of his call.
The merchant was fayorably i'm
pressed with his appearance and adj
dress, and after asking him a few
questions relative to his business ex-
perience, promised him a place in his
employ. But the caller, who evidently
had expected to be more vigorously
catechized, thought it best to yolun-
teer additional information.

something of my an;ecedents-"

the conversation. Apparently the
other person wished TO see Warden at
once. Warden finished, "All right; I'll
come and get you. Wait for me there"
Then he hung up.
Turning to Kondo, he ordered his
car. Kondo transmitted the order and
brought Warden's coat and cap: then
kondo opened the house door for him
and the door of the limousine, which
had been brought under the porte

WAR TAUGHT PEOPLE THRIFT
One Good Effect, at Least, Came as
Result of the Gigantic World
Conflict.

While Christmas savings clubs orig
mated about 10 years ago, the World
war is credited with the tremendous
growth recently in the number of de-
positors, and, of course, the totals of
savings. !
The weekly payment system for Lib
erty bonds, regular purchases of
Thrift and War Savings stamps and
more or less regular frequent con-
tributions to the war funds got the
average American into the habit of
putting aside something out of the
pay envelope.

to the Woman when it was all over
employees generally realized how easy
1t was to save. They just got the
habit, and the Christmas club idea was
almost doubled in years time, 1920
to 1921, in membership"
This year there were 100000 de-
positors and deposits of $190,000.00O.

about had been pulled down; he
touched the button and turned on the
light at the top of the car, and then
he saw that Warden was dead: his
cap was off, and the top of his head
had been smashed by a heavy blow.
The chauffeur drew back, gasping;
Kondo, behind him on the steps, cried
out and ran into the house calling for
help. Two other servants and Mrs
Warden, who had remained nervously
in her room, ran down. The stranger
who had been waiting, now seen for
the first time by Mrs. Warden, came
out from the smoking room to help
them. He aided In taking the body
from the car and helped to carry II
into the living room and lay ii on a
couch; he remained until it was GER
tain that Warden had been killed and
nothing could be done. When this
had been established and further con-
firmed by the doctor who was called,
Kondo and Mrs. Warden looked
around for the young man-but he
was no longer there.
The news of the murder brought ex-
tras out upon the streets of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland at ten o'clock
that night. Seattle, stirred at once al
the murder of one of its most promi-
nent citizens, stirred still further at
the new proof that Warden had been
a power in business and finance; then,
as the second days dispatches from
the larger cities came in, it stirred a
third time at the realiZation-for so
men said-that this was the second
time such a murder had happened.
Warden had been what was called
among men of business and finance
a member of the 'Latron crowd; he
had been close, at one time, to the
great western capitalist Matthew La
iron; the propertie in which he had
made his wealth, and whose direction
and administration had brought him
the respect and attention of other men,
had been closely allied with or even
included among those known as the
"Latron properties; and Latron, five
years before, had been murdered. La

called upon him by appointment, and
Wardens murderer, it appeared, had
been equally known to him, or at least
equally recommended. OF this as
much was made as possible in the sug-
gestion that the same agency was be-
hind the two.
The statements of Kondo and Cor

boy were verified; it vas even
learned at what spot Warden's muir
derer had left the motor unobserved
by Corboy. Beyond this, no trace was
found of him, and the disappearance
of the young man who had come to
Warden's house and waited there for
three quarters of an hour TO see him
was also complete.
