He was thin, sandy and youngish, but of a stern cast of countenance: he wore dark rimmed spectacles which he took off as he rose. ' "Good morning. Major Cam eron." His voice was lukewarm and his handshake perfunctory, but he smiled a little. "You want to see me on business?" The Major seated himself in one cf the big leather chairs. He was wondering how to approach his subject. Finally he said, "I have never known you very well, in spite of the fact that we've been neighbors for a good many years. . . . But I have always entertained a cordial feeling for you, sir." He paused. "Very kind of you," said Judge Logan. "Umm, yes. . . . Therefore I have decided to offer you r.n opportu nity to to get rich. That is, if you care to. "I do," said Judge Logan. "Most people do, I suppose. I meet wun few opportunities of the sort in xr.v practice." The Major brightened. It was going better now. He drew a deep breath, drew the certificates from his pocket. "I am the president o the Shenandoah Investment Com pany, and though most of our stock has been subscribed, we still are able to offer several shares of it to a selected number of promi nent umm persons. The stock is to be had in blocks of five shares at ten dollars a share. Each of these certificates is worth fifty dollars." "Is it, indeed?" Judge Logan took the certificates in his hands He put on his spectacles and locked at them, looked for quite a while, as if he were even reading the line print which the Major himself had really never got around to reading. "An oil well. eh? Where is the well?" "In Vanderburgh County." "This county? I've . never heard" "The well hasn't yet been dug." "Ah?" "But it will be, very shortly." "Your company is properly in corporated, and all that. Major?" "Oh, yes. And we have the geol ogist's report on the leased tract. There is oil in great quantity just little below the surface of tne ground." JUDGE LOGAN said, "I should like to see your papers of incor poration and the geologist s re port." The Major was surprised, ana wondered where these muniments were. He couldn't remember hav ing seen them. But Mr. Milgrim would know, or Richard Breen. He said, "I haven't them with me at the moment. I can. bring them to you." I wish vcu would." Judge Logan seemed to examine the cer tificates with a meticulous atten- tion. "Are you alone in this ven ture. Major Cameron?" "Alone?" "The company has other offi cers; "Oh, yes. Mr. Hubert Milgrim is our treasurer and vice-president, Mr. Richard Ereen our sec retary." "Milgrim? Breen?" Judge Logan glanced up, over his spectacle rims. "I am not familiar with " ''They are two gentlemen from Chicago." "May I inquire how you became associated with them? Someone introduced you, perhaps?" "No. It was coincidence. But umm felicitous for all concerned. I was at the hotel one morning getting shaved, Mr. Milgrim intro duced himself to me. You see, he knew me by reputation. "Tell me all about it," said Judge Logan. I The Major blew through his 'mustache. The request was un I precedented. But he was not dis pleased. Why shouldn't he tell all about it? When he had finished. Judge Logan got up abruptly. "I must give this some thought," he said- Can you drop in this afternoon: "Yes, sir. I can. If " "Drop in, and bring those pa pers. And I think I'll have Lardner in at the same time. "Lardner?" "You know, Harry, the county prosecutor?" Major Cameron said, ne did not know Mr. Lardner. 'I believe Harry would like to hear what you've just told me. You won't mind repeating it?" "Oh, no." The Major reached for his hat and cane. "You think, then, that Mr. Lardner also might be interested in the Shenandoah Company?" "I'm sure he would," said Judge Logan. living in the Corbin home for some months has returned to his house in Plattsmouth.

This was a windfall. With men like Judge Logan and Mr. Harry Lardner, the county prosecutor. behind him, he could sea stocic like hot cakes! "You let me have the incorpora tion papers, Mr. Milgrim " "What?" Mr. Milgrim's voice was faint, as if he swooned at the good news. "What for?" "To take to Mr. Gardner tnis afternoon.

Mr. Milgrim added an exclamation which the Major thought he misunderstood, for Mr. Hubert Milgrim was not a pro fane man. "What did you say?" the Major queried politely.

Porter, who has been o every young man about to graduate from high school A CHALLENGE TO THE CUSS OF '47 Your country needs you now. The future of a free America may rest on your decision. There is no Draft today to put you in the Army. Yours is the first class since 1940 that faces a free choice. But with that freedom, as with every freedom, goes responsibility. The nation has put the maintenance of a strong, alert, defensive force squarely up to you. This is the only country in the world that dares to raise and maintain a million-man Army by voluntary enlistment, in the Ameri can tradition. The duty of keeping our Army ready for emergencies is shared by every citizen for never before, in peacetime, has the need for it been greater. Our freedom, our ideals, the safety of our homes and families, depend on a world peace backed by hi tip -V. f- Jit -&r-w :- j; 7;- irS5 T'II firmness and justice. It's your Army now yours to keep strong. Joining the Army as a volunteer may mean some sacrifice to you. On the other hand, you have much to gain from the experience. Sound physical condition, training in leadership, world travel and adventure, the comradeship of a fine group of young men, a job with a real future at better pay than you can get in most civilian work all these make the Army an excellent career for young men who can mea sure up to its high standards. And in addition you will be entitled to educational benefits under the GI Bill of Rights, if you enlist before Congress officially terminates the war. Before making your de cision, get the full story of this career opportunity at your nearest U. S. Army Recruiting Station. LEO G3D sTZEj ENLIST NOW AT YOUR NEAREST U. S.
