With Jimmy and Mary es- tranged, Church presses his ad- vantage and gets Mary’s promise to marry him. Mary tells Jimmy this when they meet. Jimmy, try- ing to hurt her, accuses her of marrying for money. He goes out that evening with Olga, “trying to forget.” They are walking along the street when she: sees the man she had been looking for, sitting in an automobile. Jimmy recognizes him as one of the men who had attacked him. 5 NOW GO ON WETH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIV The two of them stood transfixed for a moment, stating at the face in the automobile window. The man way sitting on the right of the driver. He was looking straight ahead. And then, just as the. car began to ve and while Jimmy was gathering is scattered wits together prepara- tory to making a leap for the run- ning board, the man turned and saw them.

There he turned and shouted back to them, “Go on and get a policeman if you want to inside was ~— 4 darkness. He struck a match and found himself in a lon: hallway. ‘The mateh flickered and he strained his ears and eyes for sound or sight of the men who had gone in ahead of him. The match went out and the gloom enveloped him again. He started feeling his along the wall, taken perhaps two or three slow steps when he heard a slight scuf- fling sound in the rear of the house. It sounded like heavy feet: scraping along the floor. His only thought was that the psir were making their escape forward iin the darkness to- ward the door that the match had revealed at the end of the hall. The noises were louder now. He heard @ knob turn in a door and saw just ahead of him, in the kitch- a dim, shadowy form— crouch- ing. Out of the darkness another and larger figure loomed—close be- side him. He ducked instinctively, but too late. A crashing blow caught: him squarely in the temple and he sank limply to ‘the floor. He heard the door slam and then conscious- ness ‘left him He flung He awoke to find the blinding rays of a flashlight turned full on his face. Voices murmured about him.

Cashiers checks, drawn on banks no longer ex- isting; clearing house certificates, covered by the same non-existent banks; pay checks, issued by companies whose funds are nothing but records in those banks, and paper money with no gold or silver to make it worth more than the value of the silk and paper from which it is made are the only forms of money in the entire country. The credit of the nation has been exhausted. Foreign ccuntries refuse to make loans. Riots of hungry people, unable to buy focd or clothing have become common. Soldiers called out to suppress their riots are unable to do anything. Many of them have mutinied. The few who remain loyal are tco famished to lift their rifles. There is no one left to enforce the laws. Thou- sands of people are dying from starvation and ex- ‘posure. Hundreds more are killed by other persons who attempt, by robbery, to obtain food. se This is only a fantastic story. The condition does exist, in a minor degree, in many of the ccuntries of Europe since the war. The United States saw the beginnings of such con- ditions in 1893 and again in 1907. . And it might exist here, now, if the people of the country had hoarded all their savings instead of ‘opening savings accounts, according to W. Espey Albig, manager of the savings department of the ‘American Bankers’ Association. , It could exist, provided these savings, after hav- "ing been hidden away, were lost or destroyed, Or, if a large group of the public, through fear or “through an attempt to sabotage banks or employers, jrefused ta liquidate debts with cash. The situation, ‘while possible under the most unusual circum- is of course, imppobable. Under our pres- sabes MORNE saneres following substantially State Highways No. 26 and no naticnal road, consequently, be- i tween Fargo on the East and Belfield on the West, {or for a distance of about 350 miles. This condi- \tion extends throughout all the states south of us clear to the Gulf. No doubt the Joint Board con- templated that there would be some additional U. S. Roads designated betwecn No. 81 and No. 8 there are no other designations between these num- bers. It is our judgment that some effort should be made in the near future to secure such designations and that North Dakota might profitably inaugurate | 11 what the Congress | such a step. No one can,fi may do in the future relativé to federal aid and it is not unlikely that some day federal aid may be confined solely to U. S. Roads. In this event, unl something be done to secure the designations, it i pessible that the further designation of U. 8, Roads may also be curtailed. But, if we are prompt in our efforts and get’ the federal authorities com- mitted to a certain number cf U. S. Roads, it is probable that they would alter the system thus laid out when a policy of retrenchment is inaugurated. We have room in this State for the three addi- tional U. S. Roads to be numbered U. S. Road No. 82, No. 83 and No. 84, respectively. This fact should cause cities like Valley City, Jamestown and Devi!s Lake, and Bismarck and Minot, and Dickinson to sharpen their pencils to figure out/just where a U. S. Road should come. With the approach of spring, we are reminded of the old adage—“The early bird gets the worm.” Stutsman County For Steel (The Jamestown Sun) The unanimous action of the Stutsman County Republican Mass Convention in endorsing Stat Senator Alfred Steel for the United States senate will meet with the approval of, not only the so- called Independents of Stutsman county, but also with the great majority of Nonpartisan League And it will meet with the approval cf hundreds and thousands of voters, both Nonpartisan and Inde- pendent, in all parts of the state. Alfred Steel for the United States senate is not a new idea. He has been mentioned for that high office many times by leaders in public affairs, and also for the office of chief executive of the state. Alfred Steel could have been nominated and elected governor cf North Dakota many years ago but for his natural modesty which always impelled him to urge his friends not to present his name. Even in this case, the endorsement of Senator Steel followed an earnest appeal on his part for the postponement of the consideration of Mr.~Buchanan’s motion, The name of Alfred Steel has been mentioned many times in connection with the high office of United States senator because of his recognized legislative and executive ability and his. sterling qualities of character. He has served Jamestown and Stutsman county and North Dakcta in various capecities and in varicus community enterprises, always without thought cf self cr personal ag- grgandizement. During the great World War, Sen- ator Steel spent much cf his time as head of the tutsman county unit of the Ameriacn Red Cross and in the supervision of Liberty Loan drives and in other patriotic work.
