The present year promises to lead
all foregoing years in losses by bur
glary.
The following, according to Chair
man Joyce, are the seven principal
economic causes for financial crime:
81. Widespread disrespect for prop
erty rights and law caused partly by
the World war.
80 Envy, resentment and bitter
ness, caused partly by ostentation Of
the wealthy class. and also by a
widespread belief hat opportunities
for wealth are ~unequally allotted.
"3. Many salaries too close to the
starvation line.
~. Unemployment.
"5. Carelessness OF employers in not
investigating the past records of new
employees, in not auditing the ac-
counts of their business with sufj-
cient frequency n tho%roughness and
not keeping their office funds in prop
erly constructed, modern safes, etc.
sc. Doctrines of anarchy and Boil
shevism and misinterpretation of book
knowledge.
81. Desire for luxury beyond earn
ing capacities"

Figures Show Losses Of Nation

CRIME NEVER so PREVALENT

The national crime bill is more thar
$1,000 100000 a year, according to es-
Inmates by the customs house, the DO
lice, credit associations and other au-
thoritfes made public by the National
Surety company in New York.
The greatest single item is stock
frauds. the annual loss from which is
/ estimated at 81, 900, 100000 by Seymour

York stock exchange. Fraudulent
bankruptcies We're estimated by Sec
rotary Tregoe of the National Asso-
citation Of Credit Men to infict annual
losses of $4oO,0O0,00O on the investing
n specializing public.
According to these figures, every
man. woman and child in the United
States is robbed or cheated out of
about $50 a year; or, putting it an
other way, enough crime is committed
in the United States to earn an in
come of $50 a head to every American.

history of this country or of the world,

bosom OF his shirt; whispered a very
hurried word or two; strolled back up
the yard; crossed the porch; re-en-
tered the parlor door and locked 1t be-
hind him.
Tie man crouching by the seat half
rose and slipped back the way he had
come, the frogs, as before, falling ST.
lent as he came even with them and
resuming their croak again after he
had passed. Jack tried hard to make
him out as he stole by, less than q
dozen steps away. but he was so
stopped and so shrouded in gloom that
the effort was in vain.
And so they had come-and gone.
A burden seemed to be lifted from
the night. A clean breeze came down
out of the cool dells of the serene
woods as if to sweep away the taint
of their presence
The woodsman lay a long time lis
tening, and reviewing the astonishing
pantomime. Not a sound did he hear.
He glanced up at the red-roofed cot
tage. From porch step to gable it lay
as peaceful as its background of placid
sky. 1t was hard to think that at that
momen it might be standing at the
danger-center of some intangible web
of evil that was being woven about 1t.
He knew the lay of the house as
well as he knew his own small cabin
along the south and fronting the
road the seldom used parlor, with
the spare bedroom opening off from it
on the east back of these the sit
ting-room, and the old bankers bed
room adjoining it, with the small
room containing his safe opening off
1t on the west and extending some
distance beyond the main wall: back
of these rooms the dining-room and
back of it the kitchen.
Front entrance to both parlor and
sitting-room was from the wide porch.
which filled up almost the entire jog
between the parlor and the small
room that served as Office.
Mrs. Curry and Texie both slept up
stairs, the latter over the old bankers
bedroom, the former over the office.
There were no rooms above the par
lor and spare bedroom, these, with the
porch, being a later addition to the
original building.
With every possible caution Jack
slowly crawled up the yard, around
back of the house, and under the part
ly open window of the parlor bed
room; lay listening fora guarded mo-
ment; then rose, noiseless as the
and peeped within.
On a chair just undertake window
hung the somber frock coat; on the
bed a man breathed ever and deep,
apparently sleeping as TRANQUILITY as a
tired athlete.

The air of hard fnality with which
the grim lips were pursed up and
twisted around toward the right ear,
the crisp p~ositiveness with which the
words were uttered, almost made the
twilight seem to crackle, like stiff

pipe on the porch of his modest cabin

the Eagle Hollow road crossed the fiat.
administered bridge and turned up the
east bank of the branch to disappear
between the jaws of the hollow.
Through the open door came he
clink of the supper dishes as Aunt
Liza put them away. A throng of
bats, nocturnal hunters all, darted in
and out among the fruit trees, white
with bloom; the drone of a thousand
beetles, the hum of a myriad gauzy
wings, t%hrobbed the silence into a sort
of drowsy rhythm-a scene tranquil
and serene.
The old man was just setting off to
keep his tacitly understood appoint
ment with the embryo scientists, sol
diers and statesmen who assembled
nightly around the barrels and boxes
of Zeke Polick's store, when the front
gate clicked. He stopped and stood
mildly wondering to see the tall and
lanky form of Al Counterman, the ne
eyed fisherman, coming up through the
trees.
He threw up his hand, the fisherman
threw up his. Two grins met and
passed in the twilight.
Fine day." said the fisherman.
Couldn't make one no better, if 1
had the TOOLS"
The fisherman seldOm-almost never
came into that part Of the village.
With the sound horse sense that eighty
years of hard knocks had pounded into
him, Uncle Nick knew that something
unusual had brought him. Counter
man knew hat he knew. He absently
traced the flight of the bats with his
puckered eye and shifted from
foot to the other.
Little out o. y'ur range, hain't y'u?"
The fisherman sat down on the
porch, spit. out into the yard, and
threw away his cud, as if clearing his
mouth for action. Al rarely threw
away his cud. When he did it meant
something.
"EWhar's Aunt Liza?'
Back in the kitchen. Why?'
The other did not answer, but sat
listening to the clink of the dishes.
He finally lifted his battered hat, ran
his fingers up through his hair and
motioned his aged friend to sit beside
him.
"Seen Big Jack t'day?'
