Many a tale of mystery nnd romance is written in the pages of a bunk book Hee.l tite true story of a depositor ot the Lynn Institution tor Savings: More than thirty years ago this man. giving the name of P— G—. de­ posited $2,000. About five years later he withdrew $1,100, taking In pay­ ment a check to his order. This check never has been cushed and 1‘— G— never beard from since. At various times the treasurer tried to get some trace of him. Clews have been fol- lowed up without result. At the end of twenty years the un­ claimed account was advertised in sev­ eral ¡»apers. Many claimants ap­ peared, but none could give proof satisfactory to the bauk. Finally, after thirty years, in 11X21. upon injunction of the court, this estate was placed in the bands ot a receiver. The Lynn Institution for Savings expected never to bear of It again. Imagine the surprise of the treas­ urer when, one day recently, the orig­ inal bank book and the cheek, driied Dec. 19, 1890, were presented at the bauk. The mystery of this estate, now amounting to more than $7,000, seems to have been solved. The own­ er knew nothing of the long search for him by the bank and the courts. In order to avoid attachment during some domestic trouble he deposited his money under an assumed name. Then, relying on the safety of the bank and being able to live on his earnings, he avoided all mention of the amount. Only because now, in ids old age, he actually needed the money was the silence of years broken.—Savings Bank Journal.
