CHAPTER vi

THE sun had climbed from thA
l. bank of orange clouds which
screened it's rising; the mill whis.
tie had blown summoning men to
work and the saw had at last
taken up its daily song.
Kerry Young had been up before
the break of day, built his fire,
bathed in the stinging waters Of
the river and dressed leisurely.
Then he set his shaving kit on 8
stump beside the stream and pro-
ceeded to clean cheeks and chin of
yesterdays beard stubble. Today
he was going to present himself to
Nan Downer and ask for work, g.
move which Ezra Adams had urged
1t was while peering into the
mirror as he began manipulating
the razor that his eyes lost their
CLINT of laughter and became most
intent. Across the way spruces
grew thick along the river bank, and
as he turned his back - the
stream, he caught in the mir-or a
reflection Of branches being parted,
of face peering at him.
He pretended to give this watch
er no heed, but he took long at his
shaving, and half dozen times had
a fair glimpse of the mans face
1t was no one he had seen before.
He was not all surprised when
Tip, recumbent beside the fire
raised his head sharply and gave a
low growl.
Easy, chum!" Kerry muttered.
Coming into the open, eh?"
But it was nothing across the
stream which had attracted the
dog; nor was the man approaching
the one who had spied on him from
the timber.
Jim Hinkle was coming along the
trail which followed the bank.
"Well, Jim?' Young asked.
Hinkle plunged at once into his
errand.
I've come to tell you," he said.

or a warning, Jim?"

come here because it looked last
night as if you was dOin' me a IA
vor. Instead, you put me in a hell
of hole. You, nor nobody else
can make me think that Tod West
would cheat at cards!'
A whiff of surprise escaped
Kerry.
"Well, I'll be damned!" he
breathed. "You really aren't con-
vinced?"
II don't know what your game
was, but when a stranger in this
country makes play like that
with a man like Tod we'll, he
don't get far"
Maybe. Not at first"
cor anywhere along the line!"
The man appeared to be making an
effort to lash himself into a mood
Of turbulence. "If you'd stuck
around to hear what they said in
the store last night, you'd find out
how far you got.

Simple Method to Get Rid
of Hitch-Hikers on Poultry

Poultry lice and feather mites,
like barnacles on ship. spend
their lives "hitch hiking" in the
feathers of your poultry. slowly but
surely impairing health and produc-
tion. However, of all poultry af-
fictions. this is perhaps the easiest
to eliminate. A little nicotine sui
phate tapped along the roost and
then smeared into a thin film will
quickly rid the flock of lice and
feather mites. 1t is a wise precau-
ton to 90 this at regular intervals.
1t is a simple and economical insur-
ance against the presence of lice on
poultry.

one. Then we started trying to

you got any idea where it came
from?"
Ezra looked around and listened.
"Out of your poker game" he
said grimly.
After a moment Kerry gave a
low whistle.
"Say'' That makes the situa-
tion look up, doesn't it?"
"That's why l came to you, a
stranger. l need help and need it
right now, That money is cached
somewhere in the country. Who
ever is hiding it, needs money
badly. Young, will you take a com
mission as my deputy?"
Kerry's heart was beating rap
idly. Here, indeed. was a chance
to do something for Nan Downer.
He waited a moment, considering
all things. Then he said:
"Tl go you, doctOr!"
Good! But We'll have to keep

Oldest Apartment House
in u. S. Rated Also

vanderhorst Row, in Charleston S.
c., has started life anew at the age
OF 1873 years and, as such, 1t is called
the oldest and at the same time the
most modern apartment house in the
South. According to THE News and
Courier" Of Charleston, it is the old.
est apartment house in America, ex-
ceeding in age some of the ancient
multi-family dwellings in old New Or
leans.
vanderhorst Row started on It's sec
ond period of life last week fully
equipped with everything modern
necessary for comfort and happiness.
No changes were made in the size Of
the rooms or the layout, and 1t was
said that so per cent of the woodwork
in the building Is original.
Buffers pantries have been in
stalled. shower baths and tiled floors,
and new kitchens and annunciators
in every room connected with the
servants quarters. About $50, 900 was
expended in the reconstruction of the
apartment, which was built in 1900,
on East Bay street and overlooking
the harbor, by Gen. Arnoldus VAN

front property in Charleston at that

vice president Of the First Trust &
Savings Bank of Harrisburg. Ill.
I'VE have been making real estate
loans for the past 10 months" wrote
Davenport under Title II of the ma
tional housing act, and I thought you
might be interested in knowing how
we feel toward this class of loans.
Tells Of Advantages.
I'VE want you to know that we are
entirely sold on Title II. and here are
some of the reasons: First of all. we
know them to be sound, liquid loans.
making a good return on the money
invested, something a banker is try
ing to find these days. When each
monthly payment Is made you are as
sured that the taxes are paid to that
date and that hazardous insurance is
paid three years in advance. which is
something you never knew with the old
class of real estate loans, except by
checking every few months both as to
taxes and insurance.
Now in case the monthly payment
is not made-which In our case has
never happened-you can contact the
borrower and, in most instances, have
the payment made, thereby saving a
customers home and at the same time
safeguarding the banks funds.
Gives Wage Garner Chance.
"A loan made under Title II gives
10 any man or woman who has
small income chance TO own his
home, a home that is not just a
house. Our experience is that home
owners are our highest class of citi-
Zens. and the sooner we wake up to
the fact that each family is entitled
to a home, and make 1t possible. the
sooner we will have a satisfied Ma
tion.
I'VE have to date made and paid
out 30 Title lis of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration and at this time
have Is in the process of closing.
And We do not have a delinquent
among these loans.
We heartily recommend real es-
tate loans under Title II to any bank
and will answer any inquiries from
any of them desiring information
concerning our experience with these
loans.
I'VE also have better than 40 Title
! loans.'

+. H. A. HELD AID
T0M0NEY FLOW
Insurance of Refinanced
Mortgages Provides Bene-
fits, Mcdonald Says.

The most important among the fac
TORS contributing toward a freer flow
OF mortgage money for new construc-
ton from areas where 1t is abundant
to areas where 1t is scarce is the Fed
eral Housing Administration activi-
ties In the insurance Of refinanced
mortgages on existing property,
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator, said here today.
1T must be understood" he said,
t'that while the insurance Of refl-
nanced mortgages on existing prop
erty does not release new capital for
mortgage lending on new conStruc-
tion, It does keep the Nations supply
Of such funds flowing freely where
they are needed most. This is. of
course. because insured mortgages.
whether on new construction or exist
Ing property, are marketable. Mort
gage investments we're not always
marketable investments and the old
style mortgage was not an investment
"a ,ei9icn bank could readily realize
cash when it needed it.
This. Is how old-style mortgages
are refinanced into insured mortgages,
thus creating healthy condition in
the mortgage market, A bank, carry
ing, for example, 100000 Of old-style
mortgages in its portfolio, which is
unable to make new mortgage loans
because 1t faces the periodic neces-
slty OF having an abundance of cash
on hand to meet the demands of COM
mercial credit, cannot therefore ex-
tend additional loans on mortgages.
However attractive mortgages for new
construction may be, it was not con-
sidered good banking practice to
nent cash demands.
This bank, however. with all Of its
mortgage funds tied up, can refinance
these mortgages into insured mort
cages and, although the mortgagors
then begin reducing the mortgage
debt with regular monthly payments,
the important fact is that these in
sured mortgages will be given con-
slderation by Federal Reserve banks
as eligible for borrowing purposes
They are also acceptable as collateral
for loans at Federal home loan
banks. In addition, more than so of
the larger insurance companies and
other financial institutions which
Trade extensively in insured mortgages
are actively purchasing them.
THE 100000 that this bank for
merly had tied up in mortgage invest
ments which could not readily be con-
verted into CASH now is available for
new insured mortgages In fact. that
bank which never considered it sound
practice to lend more than 100000
In mortgage money now can. with
perfect security, use as a revolving
sfund the full amount, which its good
Judgment dictates as permanent in
Festment for its portfolio.
The whole system simply provides
q more and more even distribution of
mortgage funds to be loaned on new
construction. Congress recognized the
Importance Of this refinancing when
1t passed the national housing act, for
the Federal Housing Administration
is authorized to insure mortgages on
existing property up to 81 .000,0 and
q similar amount on new construc-
tlon. From an investment standpoint
incidentally, there is no distinction
between insured mortgages on exist
Ing property and insured mortgages
on new construction"
