Clm Woster Meets Old Time Friends While at St. Louis attending the meeting of the Mississippi Valley association waterways meeting, Clement Woster of this city had the pleasure of meet ing two old friends, former res idents of Plattsmouth, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lohnes.

En gineers, has recently been trans ferred from Denver where he spent several years, to St. Louis in the office of the Safety En gineers, in which department he has been unusually success ful. The family have a very at tractive home at St. Louis, 7544 Melrose, University City, St. Louis, where Mr. Woster had the pleasure of a short visit.

Oliver, who will be remembered as being here for several years when the Missouri river improvement work was starting. He is now- located at Leavenworth, Kansas. SANDY McLEAN shuffled along yie cold granolithic walk of Bos ton Common. He buttoned his thin Jacket to shut out the late Novem ber wind and thrust his blue hands into his trousers pockets. His thin fingers clutched at the lone dime in one, all he had left from his unem ployment insurance. No more would be coming for three months, and there was no work at the soap fac tory. "Guess IH get a cup of Java and a sinker, then walk home," he said to himself. Then he recalled that his wife, Mary, had warned him that morning when he left for job hunt ing that "There is not much left to eat in the house, Sandy." But Mary was not complaining. He tipped up her chin and kissed her. "Ill surely la two leaps Sandy, who had dragged the bottle of elixir from his pocket, was at the robber's back. find something today, dearie," he said. Sandy's eyes gazed longingly at the fign of the hot dog stand across the plaza. The aroma made his stomach growl like a dog worrying a meatless bone. Sandy fingered the lone dime tgain and resolutely turned his head away from temptation. "Ill not spend it," he said. "I might find Mary hungry and it would buy her a roll and a cup of tea." Sandy's foot kicked at a clump of dead leaves piled up against one of the benches. A black leather object flopped on the walk in front of him. "Somebody's wallet!" he exclaimed. Looking about to see If anyone was near, Sandy stooped to pick it up and thrust it into his inside coat pocket. He went to a bench behind the bandstand and opened the wal let. It was filled with banknotes and papers. Sandy counted the bills and whis tled. "A hundred bucks in tens," he said, his eyes lighting up with joy. In all his days he had never held so much money in his hand at one time. "The little woman and I will have a T-bone steak tonight!" he said. He looked at the papers in the wallet. They all bore the name and address of "J. Fernald Atwell, 1609 State Street." Sandy put the wallet back in his pocket and turned to go home. "I mustn't tell Mary that I found all this money," he said. "She's got some straight-laced ideas about honesty!" Then Sandy's own conscience touched him and he smiled as he nodded his head as if in reply, "111 find the guy who lost this dough. An hour later Sandy McLean, hat in hand, stood in the outer office of the Century Elixir Company, J. Fernald Atwell, president and treas urer. A girl employe asked his business, but Sandy would not tell her. Only that he "had an important message for Mr. AtwcIL" With a final sniff at his shabby 241 1 : - I Sandy McLean's Last Dime WILL HARWOOD , i ilia In if New Student Enters PHS Curtiss Dean Winters, new student entered P.H.S. from Texas City High school, Texas City, Texas. Curtiss attended Plattsmouth schools up until a few years ago, when he moved to Texas. clothes, the girl opened the door to the private office and thumbed him in. "A man to see you, Mr. Atwell," she said. 'Sir, have you lost anything?" Sandy asked, clutching at the wallet in his coat pocket for fear it might have slipped out through a hole in the lining. T surely did lose something," re plied Atwell. "My wallet containing $100 in bills and some valuable pri vate papers." "Is this yours?" asked Sandy, pull ing out the wallet and stepping up to the desk. "It surely is; let me have It. please," said Atwell and holding oufr his hand. "You're a honest man, McLean. Most people would have pocketed the money and heaved the wallet and papers into the nearest ash can!" "The McLeans was always an honest clan," replied Sandy proudly. "McLean, I am going to do some thing for you to show my apprecia tion," said AtwelL "Yes sir." Atwell heaving himself out of hte chair, end going to a wall cabinet, took down a heavily wrapped bottle. He held it out to Sandy's trembling hands. "McLean, my good man, this is your reward, it has started many a man on the path of a long life and happiness." Tears almost came to Sandy's eyes as he read the words on the wrapper: "Century Elixir. It will help you to five to be a hundred. J. Fernald At well, President and Treasurer." Before he realized it, Sandy had been shooed out of the office and was shambling down the stairs to the street. He stuffed the bulky pack age into a side pocket and stepped out into the cold. Sandy was passing the door of the Fourth National Bank building when he heard shouts and clanging of a gong within. A man dashed from the door. In one hand he carried a black Boston bag and in the other he was waving an automatic pistol. "A bank robbery and that's the guy!" Sandy cried. In two leaps Sandy, who had dragged the bottle of elixir from his pocket, was at the robber's back. He brought it down qn the fellow's head as though he were swinging an indian club at the Scot's gym. There was a flash as the bandit fired and all went black as a Glasgow fog to Sandy, although when he went out he knew he was clinging to a pair of twisting legs. When Sandy came to, he was ly ing on a bench within the bank. The bank was full of cops. They had the rebber handcuffed. A bank official slipped a wad of crisp green bills into Sandy's hands. "When you feel able, report to me; this bank can use a guard who dares to tackle an armed robber with a bottle of patent medicine!" At the police station, where Sandy was taken to tell his story, the lieu tenant shook his hand as he said: "This bird you conked is wanted for bank robbery in half a dozen cities. Buddy. There's rewards out totalling five thousand bucks and you're en titled to most of It!" That night Sandy and Mary Mc Lean were finishing up the big T bone steaks in the little restaurant around the corner. "With a job at the bank and that reward money coming, you'll get yourself a warm winter coat and a big hat with blue bells on it, Mary," said Sandy. "Youll look better in a new suit, shiny shoes and a new hat, first," Mary answered. Then Sandy began to laugh and pulled out the dime from his pocket and held it up. "Look, Mary it was my last dime,' and I was saving it to buy you a roll and a cup of tea tonight. And now look at us well have it framed!" PLATTSMOUTH I SI
