to run around all over the country and
get data about everybody's past that
might chance to come to New York" +"
"Well about four days ago he was
found out by some cops who suspect
ell that he was fake but he sneaked
cut a secret tunnel before they could
catch him."
"Humph, slick one, wasn't he?"
"Slick, and plenty of money to back
it up; they say that the old man count
ed his money by the >millions-well,
what l wanted to say was, that man
had lot of data about Thurmont peo-
pie that he just got. Do you feel
equal to that trip today? Ethel and

"Oh, about five blocks"
"Well, come on; let's get the girls

eyes, l promise"
Frederick, Hagerstown, Oh! here is
Thurmont."
"Why, l don't see the name of any
of our Glass;" said John Jones.
"TuIn on-oh, there's Washington
Louise Geren Young, prominent in
Washington society, great Scott!-
Roscoe Stitely, imagine it, in the lime
light ard about to marry the queen Of
the Follies, and-holy smoke! has
everybody gone to Washington. Here
it says that John Boiler is a civil en-
gineer for Washington and is super
intending the construction of large
bridge, one of the greatest engineer

""Doc, can you imagine it-why we
must be the greatest class ever. Turn

going back to the hospital; have an
operation to perform to-
night"
Julia, we could stay and look them
over, couldn't we?"
"Yes, you go on, because John looks
worn out. Broken arms and hurt
heads aren't nice at the best; then to
be out in this heat all afternoon!"
"The old faker; that was easy mon
ey-making, alrightie!"
"Yes; and just imagine Ralph Har-
man a minister in a Philadelphia
church, guess that's reaction from
his high school life"
"Yes; and Ethel Fogle secretary for
the civil engineer, and Mildred Ahalt
Commercial teacher at Bowling Green"
One by one they were reviewing the
past with much zest.
Lets go; don't see anything more

to the hospital n-time for supper"
After leaving the place who should

Jeanette.
Wonder what she's doing here?"
Jeanette told US she was here in
order to view baseball game played
by two of New York's largest teams,
and that her husbands team had won
due to his wonderful pitching.

fully near the old mill, and Maggie
was living the quiet married life and
that they both had hosts of friends.
Gladys Fraley, she said, was teaching
school in the West and that she was
very much in love with one of the
cowboys there, and Evelyn Zentz had
married a sailor and spent muc hof
her time in foreign lands.
