Three men, giving their names as

$40 in two bills recovered, one of them
passed at F. w. Woolworth's, and the
other was taken at Woolard's when

under pretext of getting it changed
confirmed his suspicion at the Citizens
Bank nearby.
City police were called, and Police
Sergeant ]. E. Hamlet responded to
the call Immediately, taking Taylor
into custody, bringing him to the
police station Officers w. M. Reid and
Frank Gupton assisted.
The suspicion of e. w. Woolard

by two strange men riding by, peering
into the drug store as if awaiting the
return of companion. Woolard mott
tied police, giving the license number.
Assistant Chief of Police j. E. Parks
and Constable Frank Gupton imme-
diately set out on the trail of the men,
blocking them in traffic and escorting
them to the police station.
No counterfeit money was found on
either of the three men.
Gupton, with the aid of Parks, be-
gan a thorough search of the auto
mobile and found concealed in heat
er $1,I10 in spurious bills.
Mansour and Halen declared the
had been borrowed from a
friend of their, Kelly Zaytoun, SO Mid
die street, New Bern, and Sergeant
r. S. Harris, of the State Highway
Fatrol, verified the statement with a
call to Raleigh.
The money found in the automobile
and that taken at the two stores was
very good imitation, but the feel OF
the money was not like that of good

Police Sergeant ]. E. Hamlet said
all the money was found to be coun-

With the addition of one new case
and with three more provided for
twelve Christmas Opportunities of
needy families remained today with
out any arrangements made for their
10Y and happiness at the Yuletide
season. 1t was definitely announced
that no more new cases will be added
to the list.
A further appeal was made to in
dividuals and organizations to make
provision at once for the remaining
dozen of needy families. Only three
days are left until Christmas, and I'M
less some individual or group of in
dividuals feels the responsibility of
providing Christmas cheer for these
unfortunate people, they will probably
not share the spirit of the season as
will those who are more blessed with
the material things of life.
Any one desiring to provide for one
of these families is asked to contact
Immediately Envoy or Mrs. Luther
Morton, of The Salvation Army, at
Phone SOP. Full information as to the
precise needs can be furnished by
them. together with the names and
addresses of all families.
The lists are presented by the Daily
Dispatch in cooperation with the
Army officials. Henderson people in
fifteen years have never failed to re-
spond to the extent of making pro-
vision of the needy families offered.
The number this year now totals rs,
and no more will be added. This is
the largest number ever presented at
any Christmas season. While condi-
tons are not as rosy as they once
were, this makes the need all the
more real And there are plenty of
individuals and groups and organiza-
tions in the city who are amply able
to take care of these needy families,
who represent some Of the more ex-
IRENE cases, though there are count
less others who will have a scant
Christmas even after all of this pro-
vision has been made.
Following are the remaining cases,
together with those that have already

I NOTICED M. PicOn making

He was evidently much excited by
the turn the examination had

hostility towards his questioner.

commonplace that I could not I'M

I respected Lord Simon at that
moment. He was so mercilessly,
so icily, calm. One felt all the
reserve Of experience and intro
spection that lay behind his fop-
pish manner. He was watching
the wretched butler with a cold
and detached stare, and I could
see perspiration on Stalls narrow
forehead. Several times the but
