DOES THE ACCOUNT PAY?

Experience has proven to banks that active
checking accounts with an average balance of less
than 800 are handled at a loss to the bank
If more depositors realized this fact probably
they would make greater effort to keep up their
balance.
Not one person in ten has the remotest idea of
the banking machinery necessary to make it pos
sible for him to send his checks broadcast over the
country and have them come back to him at the end
Of the month with his statement of account

John Prepares for Action.

IOlIN did not attempt to follow
or detain Eileen. Her very
earnestness had taken his
~ breath away. He literally did
not grasp The true intent of
that last strange :LvoWal until she
was already within the lodge gates.
for his hungry gaze had accompanied
her across the village green and so
into the leafy fastness of the park
Then he understood. and was so
overwhelmed by the magic of the love
which had burned So faithfully dur
Ing the long years of storm and Suf
fering that he sank into IL chair.
He was recalled to his senses by a
cold nose thrust into his hand and a
soft tongue licking il. Spot. we'll
aware that his duty on such an oc-
caslon was to remain a very quiet
dog, had stretched himself under the
table, and Eileen, after patting his
huge head when he entered the room,
had completely forgotten his presence.
John fondled his friends neck and
ears, and stroye to recapture the con
fident mood of the afternoon. He
had To admit that Eileen was right.
though the admission implied the
need of Immediate action, and it had
been seen that beyond taking the first
great step by coming home to claim
his legacy he had done little hitherto
in his own behalf, He had tried to
stop the marriage and had failed.
After that nothing else mattered.
Now, it would appear, his own posi-
tion was the really vital thing. OF
course, the outlook was not quite 30
hopeless as it had seemed when Fren.
sham first met him on the Mail and
stirred into activity some embers of
n fira h,- bic nf .J,rtr
mans belief that Capt Panton had
not been treated fair had been
'doped." in fact. Why should that
poor fellow, at n moment when the
tide of life was ebbing fast, have
wanted TO see justice done to his com
pany commander? On what count .
And why should he have used such
q word as "doped"--so astonishinsly
apt when seen in the light Of recent
discoveries? John realized now that
he had been lax I'm not trying at

of the casualties sustained by his

TO be numbered with the dead. If a
