I would trust you, Martin, with my life.” Martin, deeply moved, could only mumble his thanks. The banker then said solemnly: “Martin, Mr. Campbell, our cash- jer, was found dead in his office at the bank tonight, and $25,000 has been taken from the vault.” Martin Bevis leaned forward. “John Campbell dead!” he whis pered hoarsely. “Murdered,” bluntly, Martin gasped: “But how? where —I—I can't believe it!” “The janitor discovered it,” ex- plained Dayton. “You know Jim takes care of other offices and oft- en it is late when he gets around to us.” “Now, Mr. Dayton,” said the sher- iff, in a tone which indicated that| he proposed to take charge of af-| fairs, “I don’t want to appear hard, | por hurt anybody's feelings, buty after all I happen to be sheriff and | J'd like to ask a few questions.” " The banker bowed. “Certainly, | Sheriff Bolton.” | to ask an- Mr. Dayton I have the said the sheriff fixed Tony with ‘a steady look. hood, said Mr. Smith, has been very slow to date, but evidence was not lacking during the last couple days that the run is now on in earnest. oA R OLIVERS ARE HEARD FROM Frank Oliver, a former old-time resident of the island, in writing {to friends here recently, described some of the depressed business‘ conditions in the Northwest with which he is familiar.

It's ‘Grove’ To You Until Gene Tunney came along very few if any boxers could spell ‘arboretum,” much less give a defi- nition of it. It was altogether appropriate therefore to have Gene become the first notable fisticuffer to “crash™ tae arboretum of Beeman G. Dawes, not far from Columbus, and plant a tree therein. The arboretum is a hobby of the brother of Ambassador Dawes. Pres- idents for the last score of years, war leaders such as Foch and Pershing, celebrities in many walks of life have accepted the invitation of Mr. Dawes to plant a tree to bear their name. Bobby Jones has been asked to join the list because as Mr. Dawes remarked, “he is one of the great- est of all champions.” Byron Bancroft Johnson, a col- |lege classmate of Dawes, was the first representative of any sport to have his name-plate on a tree in the arboretum. The old base- | ball warrior and Dawes were life- | long friends. e Old papers av .ne Empire Of- fice. No Calculations WE GUARANTEE TO SATISFY (or no pay) Let us bid on that JOB.
