"You have lost your position In the
bank," spoke Norma Drury. "Oh, fa
ther! how can thut be!"
Martin Drury's head was bent low,
he was pale and agitated and acted
like a man who had received a heavy
blow.
"Not because of any dishonesty, Nor
ma," he said, bravely attempting a
smile. "Since I wns given charge of
the securities cage my sulary has been
raised and I seem to have pleased both
Mr. Wardell, the president of tho bank,
and the directors with my services.
Today I carried all the Liberty bond
packets to the desk of Mr. WnrdelLfor
him to check up. He returned them
an hour later. Then I was called to
the cashier's desk on some business.
When I returned to assort the packets
one was missing No. 23. Mr. War
dell's schedule showed he bad checked
it, with the others. It was for $3,000.
It was gone, nnd tho only fault found
with me was that I had left the pack
ets on my desk when hurriedly called
by the cashier, instead of flrst placing
them In the vault."
"Then"
"Somebody on the watch, it Is as
sumed, readied through the wicket uud
extracted the $3,000 packet."
"And Mr. Wardell?"
"Consulted the directors. He" was
kind enough nnd Just enough to vouch
for my Integrity, but said that I wus
getting old, that I needeuVlesss respon
sible work nnd has offered to retain
me at a reduced, salary, but In an in
ferior position. It is hard lines I" and
the voice broke. "My pride my
pride" -
Norma came up to her father and
twined lier arms about him. "Dear fa
ther," she said tenderly. "1 shall give
up my preparations to become a tench-,
er. You have had mo help you so much
with bunk work you have brought
home evenings that I have practically
learned the business, as you may say.
"At all events we are responsible for a
loss of $3,000. Together we will make
It good."
Thnt was the amazing proposition
Norma Drury made to stern, systemat
ic Martin Drury the next day. If the
old financier was secretly moved by
the llllal net and sacrifice of the loyal
.iifurwr,
came to Norma one day, Inter.
"Miss Drury," he snld, "you have done
ciinli fnltlifnl liotrtfiil ivnrk (lnrlni- tho
1 V " !
past year, that the bunk lias decided ,
to send you nway for a month's vnca-,
tlon, beuring all expenses and your sal
ary to run on the snme with a 25 per
cent raise for next year."
"You are very kind, but do I deserve
it?" spoke Norma.
"We think so," declared Sydney
heartily, and Norma felt that he was
genuinely sincere. It wns a rest she
craved and enjoyed. The hnppy four
weeks ended In a surprise. The day
before setting out for her return she
received a note from her father that
considerably mystified her. It Informed
her that young Wnrdoil would be at
Leevllle the next morning on an auto
mobile trip, nnd that he would call for
her and drive her home. It was not
strange that Norma fluttered nnd mar
veled when the young man arrived
next day.
It was late afternoon when the car
reached her home town. Young War
dell drove around to the bank and halt
ed in front of It.
"There hns been something of n
change In the personnel of the Insti
tution since you went away. Miss
Drury," he told her, and he pointed to
a newly emblazoned window benring
the two names: "Sydney Wardell,
President: Martin Drury, Cashier."
Norma stared, bewildered.
"We were moving my father's old ,
desk lust week," sa(d Sydney, "nnd be-.
. hind one of the drawers we found that ,
missing $3,000. Don't you think I was
glad to award your djiar father what I
he so deserves after all the years of j
his faithful service?" :
Norma broke down utterly. Insensl- j
bly her tear-bedewed face pressed the I
shoulder pf her compunlon. Lie thrilled j
at ttie contact. Just then, a brilliant
glint of sunshine Illumed the drab J
western sky. !
"Look," Sydney snlrt, "a presage of
gladness for all your future, I hope." '
anil she knew from the glow m this j
clear, honest eyes that love actuated
the sentiment.

Long-Lived Trees.
At fountain abbey, Yorkshire, Eng
land, the yew trees were old when
the abbey wns built, In 1132. Call
fornia has a very ancient tree In Marl
posa grove. This Is a "redwood,"
which Is credited with many hundred
years. Baobab trees of Africa have
been computed to be more than 5,000
years old, and n deciduous cypress at
Chnpultepee Is considered to be of
a still greater age. Humboldt said
that the Dracaena Dracq at Orotova,
on Tenerfffe, was one of the oldest In

Make Friends With Horses.
Ono reason given why native Arab
horses are generally exceedingly
friendly and fearless Is that they are
often brought up almost In the midst
Of their owner's children, and ure used
to being handled nnd petted from the
time they are tiny foals. Whether this
Is true or not, It Is certainly a good
plan for anyone who has a pony to
make friends with him. It Is worth

count. If Mr. Drury felt humiliated by his
reduction In working rank It was more
than made up for In having Norma for
company In the bank. He grew a lit
tle more gray, a little more bent, but
he was proud of his daughter and their
mutual work for a noble object tilled I
both with a high sense of duty sturdily
faced.
David Warden's health failed and he
was ordered to a sanitarium for per
manent treatment. A month later he
died and his only1 son, Sydney, "was ,
summoned from college to take charge j
of the affairs of the bank. He was n i
bright, intelligent fellow nnd from the
stnrt Norma nttrncted him. When ho

high order of respect and ndmlrntlun In
his mannor toward her. He novor al

Chinese Paradise Fish.
A little Chinese fish known as the
paradise fish is remarkuhlo for Its
brilliant1 coloring of crimson nnd blue.
In the sunlight It shines In u rain
bow glow of color. The dorsal fin ex
tends from near the buck of the heud
to the tall. The puradlse fish was
first brought to France from China
by M. Simon In 18G9, having been
found In a brook nenr Canton. The
most Interesting thing about this little i
fish Is the nost made by the male for j
tho reception of the eggs. It makes u
little floating nest of glutinous-bubbles
below the surface of tho water, nnd j
measuring up to six Inches across.

I
ow do you judge oil
These are the things that determine the true cost of a motor
oil: the protection it gives the motor against wear, economy in
fuel consumption, the size of repair bills for operation and upkeep.
Polarine stands high when judged by these standards. It cush
ions all engaging parts with a wear-preventing film that keeps
moving parts snug-fitting, working easily with little vibration
or noise.
Polarine has unusual stability under high engine heat. It assures
a fuel-tight and gas-tight oil seal in the cylinders maintains full
compression and delivers maximum power.
Use Polarine and reduce motoring costs. It is sold where you
buy big-mileage Red Crown Gasoline at first class garages and
service, stations where this sign is displayed.
