i i|fhi, lUfcU. Western Newspaper Uniwii) The most unfortunate thing that ever happened to Levi .Morse was that during u two weeks’ visit to the city he chanced to run across a friend who had started a detective agency. The latter discovered, or pretended to discover in him rare intuitive ability in the iimn hunting line. lie offered Levi a half-interest in Ids business for $.•<*0. mode a due Impression ou Ids prospective victim with the aid of some confederates by working up a case where Levi was allowed lo apparently discover some remarkable clews und make an arrest, and sent him home all fired up with the Idea that he was especially born to become a famous sleuth. His practical ruralized wife sat down on the proposed Investment, hard. “They are fooling you, Levi," she declared. “You have no more predilection for the detective business than a babe. Besides, all the capital Invested In our little dairy farm here Is mine, und I’ll not see you waste it. Drop the idea." Which Levi did, hut reluctantly. He had caught the detective fever good and strong. He never passed the town marshal but lie envied Ids dig nlty and power, and when the local pa per, published by an old friend, mentioned his name as a probable cundi date for marshal at the next election, Levi fondly dreamed. "You see," said the editor to Levi one day, “your wife may object to your becoming a city detective, but she shouldn't hide your ability under bushel locally. You’re bound to shine, Levi,” ami ihe latter believed It and hugged i he pleasant delusion. Levi was hanging around the printing office one day when he chanced to glance at a flesh proof of an Item announcing the escape of one Dan Daly from the state penitentiary. A liberal reward was offered for his apprehension. Just beside It lay an electrotype with a proof on top ■ of It. Levi studied the face portrayed with interest and Impressed Its main characteristics on his memory. He even possessed himself of a blurred lin press of the cut that hud been thrown aside, and thrust it into his

pocket.

“I'll keep my eyes open,” lie resolved as he left the print shop. “Something of a feather in my cup and big campaign argument If 1 happen to run across this dangerous criminal at

large."

Ii was the very next day that, about dusk, near his home, he fixed his glance upon a man coming down tin road from the electric line station. 1I<* looked respectable enough, well j dressed, and had an Intellectual face, hut. ransacking bis memory nnd consulting the blurred proof In his pocket, Levi could scarcely repress an exultant cry. , I "Ii s him!" gloated the embryo marshal. "Oh, what luck I Now to nab him.” anil getting behind the unsuspecting wayfarer, Levi suddenly seized j him by the collar und ran him through j the gateway of his own yard. "Zounds I What is this? Unhand i me!" sputtered the astonished victim of Levi's rash guesswork. "I say," hut Levi was not to he diverted from his stern purpose. He urged his captive over to a little brick structure used as a milk cooling room, thrust him Into It, slammed the door tightly shut upon him. locked it. and started on a run for down town. There was n small grated window only at the side of the building, and at this the prisoner appeared, pale and expostulating. hut it wns too small for the captive to get through, so Levi felt secure as to his retention. I Levi made for the otlb e of the marshal to Impart to him the news of his remarkable catch, hut th«j latter was not there. He began searching for him, went from place to pints 1 , and was in a vast flutter until long after dark, when lie learned that the official was on a temporary visit to the next town and would return on the lain* o'clock train. To put in the time lie (fcnpped Into the library hull, where a lecture was in progress. At Us doorway he halted and stood rooted in sheer amazement. There on the rostrum was the very man he hail Incarcerated In the cooling shed less than three hours previous! It was well that his daughter Alice chanced to catch sight of her father and arose from her seat In the hall and came somewhat excitedly to him. "Oh, papa!” she whispered. "The •trangest thing!—Mr. Bertram, the lecturer! Some one assaulted him ou (he street und locked him up In a shed on our place. I let him out and he invited mamma und I to the hull. How queerly you act 1” And he felt so, too! It suddenly dawned upon I^jvI that he had committed a most egregious error. It was natural that the picture of the young and rising lecturer should appear in Ibe newspaper, and he hud taken the cut proof haphazard for that of the iscupeu convict. Delunoey Herlrum never knew thst It was the father of Alice, with whom he proceeded to fall in love, who had treated him so rudely, for he had not seen the face of his captor. And Mrs. Mors* 1 and the public never could understand how it was that Levi abruptly abandoned all Intention of running for the office of town marshal.

CREDIT

is the Basis of Our Financial Structure '

The amount of actual money that changes hands in the United States is negligible in proportion to the volume of business transacted, and compared with business methods in foreign countries. This, unquestionably, is one thing which has increased the prosperity of this country and brought it to the commanding position it now holds in the world's affairs. To the young business man or farmer, nothing is more necessary than the establishment of his credit with a strong, progressive bank, which can help him when he needs it. Consistent, systematic saving will do more to establish that credit than any other one thing. A credit standing with the CENTRAL is a valuable asset to any man.
