Steve’s Money Out Almost Before It Was In ____By STEPHEN LEACOCK. When I go Into a bank I get rat tled.

The very sight of Although Mr. I .car ot k is keeping it very much under ills liat, we suspect that he regards himself, as a college professor, fo lie the best joke of his career. He has perpetrated It upon lTpper Canada College ns well Ss McGill; but in this case the Canadians, partaking of the British strain of literal-mindedness, which fractured some of Mr. Leacock’s brightest saying on his tour through England, take him seriously.

My voice was sep ulchral. "Can I see the manager?” I said, and added solemnly, “alone.” I don’t know why I said "alone.” "Certainly,” eald the accountant, and fetched him. The manager was a grave, calm man. I held my $56 clutched In a crumpled ball In my pocket. "Are you the manager?’ I eald. God knows I didn't doubt It. Manager Is Alarmed. "Yes,” he said. "(”80 I see you.” I asked, “alone?" I didn’t want to say "alone" again, but without It the tiling seemed self evident. The manager looked at me In some alarm, lie felt that I had an awful secret to reveal. “Come In here.” he said, and led the way to a private room. He turn ed the key in the lock. “We are safe from Interrupton here.” he said. “Sit down.” AVo both sat down and looked at each other. I found 'no voice to speak. "You are one of Pinkerton’* men, I presume?” he said. He hail gathered from my mysteri ous manner that I was a detective. I knew what be \\§s thinking, and It made me worse. "No, not from Pinkerton’s.” T said, seeming to imply that I came from a rival agency. Fathoming the Mystery, “To tell the truth." I went on. es if I had been prompted to He about it, “I am not a detective at all. I have coma to open an account. I in tend to keep all my money In this bank." The manager looked relieved, but still serious. He concluded now that I was a eon of Baron Rothschild or a young Gould. "A large account, I suppose?” he said. “Fairly large,” I whispered. “I pro pose to deposit $56 now and $50 a month regularly." "Air.

My face was ghastly pale. “Here.” I said, “deposit it.” The tone of the words seemed to mein. “Let us do this painful thing while the fit Is on us.”_ He took the money amt gave It to ( another clerk. He made me write the sum on a slip and sign my name In a book. I no longer knew what I was doing. The bank swam before my eyes. “Is it deposited?” 1 asked in a hol low vibrating voice. “It is," said the accountant. “Then I want to draw a check." My Idea was to draw out |6 of it for present use Some one gave me a check book through a wicket and some one else began telling me how to write it out.

Are you drawing it all out again?" he asked in surprise. Then I realized that I had written 66 instead of 6. I was too far gone to reason now. I had a feeling that It was Impossible to explain the thing. All the clerks |»d stopped writing to look at me. Reckless with misery, I made a plunge. “Yes, the whole thing." “You withdraw your money from the hank?" “Every cent of It.” "Are you not going to deposit any more?” said the clerk, astonished. “Never!"

LINCOLN SERVICE The satisfaction to be derived from the operation of an automobile is in direct proportion to its duality, the Jacil' ities provided for its maintenance and the care which it receives. Only when these elements are well balanced does the purchase of a motor car become a good investment. Lincoln owners know that Lincoln cars in ordinary usage demand little attention other than the replenishment of gaso line, oil and water. That is because the service requirements of motor cars are in inverse ratio to the quality and char acter built into them by the manu facturers. Periodic inspection, proper lubrication and minor adjustments, when necessary, are essential to the proper and prolonged functioning of any piece of machinery. With quality as a prime factor, it is the secret of economical and dependable transportation. To insure the operation of Lincoln cars as a source of uninterrupted satisfaction and enjoyment, through the medium of adequate and convenient service facili ties, it is the purpose of the Ford Motor Company that its entire dealer organi zation be equipped to render efficient and intelligent service to Lincoln owners. Thousands of Ford Dealers in the United States are being equipped with specially trained Lincoln men, competent to make minor adjustments and of providing for ordinary service requirements. Under this arrangement, a Lincoln owner, whether touring a continent or crossing his own city, may with confi dence enter a Ford Dealer’s place of business and be assured of prompt, cour teous and intelligent treatment by an organization with a personal interest in his welfare. It is not intended, or necessary, that all Ford Dealers be equipped to do major repair work or overhauling on Lincoln cars. Adequate provision is made, how ever, whereby such work will be done in each territory, when necessary, by dealers who are especially equipped to render high grade service in keeping with the character of the product. \ We believe that the Lincoln will run farther and require less mechanical attention than any other car in the world. It is significant and a matter of utmost importance to prospective own ers of quality cars that the incomparable, world-wide facilities of the Ford Motor Company should make the ownership of a Lincoln even more desirable than ever before.
