That's not unusual-many women

an honest business life for more
than 20 years. She had acted as
purchasing agent for hundreds Of
individuals throughout Kentucky,
was trusted by all. and extended un-

her a woman of keen business wits.

Then something happened to Mrs.
Pennington. Something snapped. In
the course Of a few weeks she wan

chasing thousands Of dollars worth
Of goods on credit.
To her clients throughout the
state the matronly buyer is said to
have given pre-dated checks, telling
them that by cash payment she
could obtain huge discounts which
she would share with them.
Then Mrs. Pennington disappear
