Where Your Xlutiey

There was a time when people hid to keep their money at home in
. trunks or carry it on their persons. That was the time before banks. Today
nobody has to run this sort of risk. \i this busy season of the year with
the farmer, when he is marketing nis products and getting his money, it
is foolish for him to store his money a t home or carry large sums on his
person. Deposit your money in your bank and get a check book. In this sim
ple operation you gain protection from loss and inaugurate a simple, re
liable business system.
We invite your deposits, however large or small. Deposit with us today.

TV/TARY stopped short with a lfillc
gasp of surprise and shock. The.
lounging, ill-dressed, haggard figure |
on the park bench could be no oilier
than Edwin, whom she had seen the
last time three years before. The odd
llt tie quiver that her first sight of him
used to give her went over her.
"Kdwiu, Is jt— *' she asked hesitat
ingly.
“Hullo, Mary. It's been many
moons since 1 saw you last, and you
suggested It be the last time," he tin
swered u little bitterly.
His words stirred old memories.
“Oh, Edwin, those —won’t you .come
with me to lunch? I—l do want t«>
chut with you again," she said hur
riedly, feeling within her some old
memories stir.
He u/tived readily, and her quick
mind told her that he was mill}
hungry.
I II go, hut you must pay the cheek.
I'm clean broke," be said bluntly,
joining her.
He was hardly a respectable hg
are beside her neat and attractive
self, and many eyes were turned to
them as they went on. Bui Mary did
not care; some of the old happiness
returned as she walked beside him.
In a sheltered corner of the res
taurant, over a laden table, they tl
nally faced each other.
*T haven't had a square meal in
weeks," he admitted with ids old
/rankness. “Now, don't tell me I
a til wasting my life, us you used to.
I'm no good. 1 admit it”
“No, Edwin, I won't scold now.
Then I hud such bright hopes for
you."
“Now you have given me up. 1
don't blame you. But I'm grateful for
this handout.” t;
“Don't," she begged. “I am stl<l—
trill Interested in you. Please be kind.
Tell me of yourself.”
He laughed harshly, then rapidly
sketched his drifting from posltloti to
position and always downward. Then,
gently, the told of her own w.brk as
secretary to one of the city’s Infill
entlal business men.
Ho listened grimly. “You have been
successful enough for both of us."
She saw that her own success
seemed to offend him, aud she., triad
to change the subject.
"Now I must go. Mary, I thank
you for feeding a beggar* by /’ HIV/
way—"
"Please, Edwin.” , ' h
"That’s what I am. I don't Want
to see you pay the check, so 1 uiu

lie .went quickly, leaving her nl
mo-t In tears. He had changed sc
much, and yet she caught glimpses,
faint It is true, of the man she had
loved.
She reached for her handbag, which
she had hung over the buck of her
chair. The bag was gone. Her lienrl
seemed to slop beating. Could he
Jinve taken the bag? In the confusion
in her own mind the truth appeared.
He and no other could possibly have
taken it.
She wailed until the tumult within
her had quieted. Then she easily
made arrangements to have the lunch
charged, and with the world gray
about her went buck to the office.
