Got Bullet in Chest
but Saued His Friend

A duel was fought in forest on the
outskirts Of Berlin recently between
two men more than forty years old
who had been lifelong friends, accord
ing 10 a Berlin letter In the Continen-
tai edition of the London Mail.
They are both bachelors, but one, a
merry squire, fell in love with pretty
girl Of twenty-one and was determined
to marry her. The other, wealthy
business man, was certain the pretty
girl would make his friend unhappy.
three Of them were in restaurants the
pretty girl returned the admiring
glances of young men at other tables.
Love is blind and the squire saw
nothing of this. His friend, not under
standing the danger of interfering In
other peoples love affairs, hit on a
plan to save him. He sent the pretty
girl love letter inviting her to meet
him and signed it with fictitious
name. Two love letters had no effect.
but the third brought that naughty
girl to the rendezvous, and he was
there to see her arrive. He went home
chuckling and told her how he had
tricked her and warned her to leave
his friend alone.
But she, with that touch Of genius
which deceives mere men every time,
went straight of to her squire with
tears in her eyes and the letters in
her hand.
The result was the duel and bullet
in the chest Of the kind but blunder-
ing friend. The story has, however, a
highly moral ending. Overcome with
grief at the sight Of his friend bleed
ing on the ground, the squire agreed
to have nothing more to do with the
pretty girl.

McCloy sent Davis to report an i'm

the managing editor, went to Davis
and asked him for his side-llne badge.
Brisbane had a friend who was anx-
ious to get a closeup of the players.
"No, Mr.. Brisbane" said Davis, my
city editor sent me here to report this
game. and before 1t is over something
might happen, when should need this
badge"
Brisbane urged that he would take
the blame, but "Dick" Insisted that he
was the fellow assigned TO the job and
must stick to his badge.
Next day Brisbane went to McCloy
and told him how one of his reporters
had detied a request of the managing

STRAIGHT TALKS

Isn't it dreadful about poor Mrs.
Molly. THAT company she bought
those bonds in has failed and she has
lost nearly every cent she had"

asked Aunt Emmy. She got q let
ter from some so-called investment
house she knew nothing about. She
answered it and they sent a plausible
young man to her and he persuaded
her that the company he was selling
The carelessness of some people is
really criminal. Mrs. Fuller might
have gone to her bank, asked for re.
liable information and saved her
money. Any bank has or can get the
facts about business concerns show,
ing their condition. Had she bought
bonds in company that the facts
showed had been meeting its obliga
tions for years, had a good surplus
and good business prospects. she
would not be in trouble today. In
stead, she took the word OF that
plausible man who was either de
ceived himself, or who willfully de.
ceived her, or at least was not so
much interested in protecting her as
in selling bonds to her. There is
really very little excuse for the Mrs
Fullers Of today because reliable in.

That's another thing it is unwise
to do" replied Aunt Emmy. 1T is
always foolish to carry all your eggs
in one basket Now if she had put
only part of her money in those bonds
instead OF all she had, she could have
stood the loss. AS it is there is no
telling what straits the poor little
woman has got herself into. Like
every one else Mrs. Fuller was too
greatly tempted by the promise of q
high rate OF interest on her invest.

finance coupled with the desire for
nigh interest caused all her trouble
There are few things more dan
gerous than thinking you can do
something you know nothing about as
well as somebody who knows all
about 1t. How foolish that sounds
just to say it! Mrs. Fuller may be
able to go to the butcher and because
OF her judgment of cuts of meat, get
the very best and most for her money
but that is NO sign that she can Judge
securities. Buying bonds is no diff
ferent from buying meat. You simply
must understand your subject. You
must know how to select good bonds
and you must know when to sell and
when to buy. The only way you can
do this is to take the advice of some
one whose business it is to study the
bond market. Any bank large OF
small will gladly discuss investments
with its depositors. When you have
learned enough to depend somewhat
on your own judgment make youi
own decision as to what to buy
then talk It over with your banker tc
