CTILL there are many who w . i
** invest t
ment securities and who can not bring
themselves to trust their money ' ■
the care of savings banks.
Their days would be filled with
anxiety and they would worry so at
night that they could scarcely get any
sleep, and what little they did get
would be filled with dreams of fi
nancial pirates descending upon their
funds, or of trusted bank employees
fleeing to Canada or South America
with their precious posses.-ions hidden
in potato sacks.
Recently a man lost his straw hat.
and with it $75 which he had hidden
under the sweatband. He has now
probably lost all faith in a straw
hat as a substitute for a savings
bank.
Recently the newspapers told of
a man in Greenwich, Conn., who gave
a boy a pair of shoes to take out
to be polished. Ke received back
the shoes, shining like a mirror, but
the $2,000 he had hidden in their
toes were gone, and the boy can't
remember who shined the shoes.

A/|ANY women have a habit of hid
*’* ing money under the parlor rug,
or under a mattress, which is the
first place a burglar searches when
he enters a home.
And there have been numerous
cases of farmers who would not trust
a bank, concealing their money in
old stoves and thinking how smart
they were until the day when their
wives decided to put up some extra
tomato catsup and started fires in
the old stoves.
Some men who fear banks and
burglars carry all their savings on
I heir persons. Then perhaps a ban
dit comes along.
But the great majority of the peo
ple are wise. As a result, savings
bang deposits show a great increase
year by year. The people who do
this get something far safer than
sugar bowls, hat bands, stoves, par
lor rugs, and inside pockets, and
they get interest for the use of their
money.

WfAS the steel industry over-built
during the war? Has it more
mills and equipment than peace-time
demand can keep busy? U. S. Steel
Corporation does not think so. It will
spend $10,000,000 on new plants.
Authorities disagree about when
the next -Korn will st ilt. But the

are in for a great period of pros

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS;
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING
CHAPTER LXX
1 VISIT THE SCENE OF DEATH.
| WASN'T surprised that Philip'
Ames had ended his life, for as I i
thought of our last conversation, Ij
realized that at that time he had!
as much told me he might do such
a thjng.
And as 1 stood there in tae diAk, i
the telephone receiver still in my
hand, it was his wife of whom I
thought. What of her—the woman
of the !>■ autiful voice, t';e weman
who, it seemed, ha? never b. v i a part
of tier husband's life?
1 wondered if she knew, :f Miss
Howard had called her—and then
suddenly came the thought of Lila.
What would Lila do? Would she
feel a-responsibility in the tragedy,
and would the accusation of the
thing have an effect upon her treat
ment of her husband?
I wondered how to tell her. I even
considered the wild scheme of trying
to keep the thing from her entirely,
but I knew that would be impossible.
So, fearfully, I started up stairs
and went to my own room, f list
ened a second. There was no sound
in Lila’s room. 1 tapped lightly on
the door. Almost instantly she open
ed it.
“He’s asleep,” she whispered.
I motioned to her to come into my
room. As I closed the door she
gripped both of my arms.
“What is wrong?” she demanded.
Her eyes in their fear were like
those of a wild beast, trapped and
struggling.
“Philip Ames is dead,” I said. “He
killed himself.”
Lila made no outcry. She put hei
hands over her eyes. I saw her fig
ure sway slightly. My room was
shadowy. I had not lighted the
lights. Her tears were her own, 1

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY
Monday morning. No paper pub
lished. I
'.bought. 1 did not want to see theii;
i I had no right.
Finally, through the darkness, her
i voice came to me.
“Does his wife know?” she asked.
And then ( Knew that Lila Ames
! no longer c. red for Philip.
"1 don’t know,” 1 half whispered.
: “1 suppose someone should go— ’’
“Where did —it happen?” asked
Mrs. Ames.
j “At his office.”
“Could you—would you go there
I and do anything you can to help?
; Put our home, and anything we can
: do, at Kate’s disposal.”
As Mrs. Ames opened the' door to
her own room and the light fell on
, her face, 1 saw that it was white
i and haggard.
I looked with dread toward the
I ride downtown, I tried to imagine
what the office would look like,
whether or not Philip's wife would
be there and if the little stenogra-
I pher would still be crying.
| I found the door of the office
1 closed. 1 knocked, then opened it.
j Only a desk light was lighted, so
: part of the grewsome thing was lost
:in shadow. At the desk sat a wo
man. I was fascinated by the beauty
lof her profile and poise. She had
'something in her hand, something
that she had half drawn out from
under the blotter on the desk. It
looked like a photograph.
As I closed the door, she looked up.
She bowed slightly, a faint smile
i quivered at the corners of her mouth,
and then she was on her feet.

So off they all started. Pretty
soon they came to a slanty place,
deep, deep under the sea, and sure
enough, there lay a) sack propped
against a smooth stone, and looking
as the Roman Fish said, most aw
fully full of something.
“Ho, ho!” cried out Nick. “This
certainly looks like the Fairy
Queen’s bag of gold, Mr. Fish. Only
I don’t see any rainhpw.”
“Oh, as for th&t,” said the fish
making a lasso out of his long tail
and then untying it again, “you only
see a rainbow when it’s wet.”
Nobody thought that he’d said
anything queer.
“I’ll take one end and you take
the other, Nancy,” said Nick, “and
we’ll take the bag of gold to ihe
Fairy Queen at once.”
But lo and behold, wasn’t the sack
swimming away as hard as it, could
go. It had unfolded a most beautiful
pair of swimming fins.
