The stuff was all bun dled up. ready to be carted off. I heard my silver rattling, and missed the picture from over the mantel." The policeman started to ask an other question, but Carey Inter rupted. -Why waste time asking an these questions? You art giving the bur glars more time for their get-away. Beems to me you ought to be out looking for them." "The man's right." said Mr. Pot ter. "Look her, officer. I gave you a very complete description of the two men. Get busy!" "Yes. sir."

Mr. Potter took Mute on a tour of Inspection. Lorls and Carey trailed silently behind them. The check-up revealed a long list of miming valuables. When Mike bad finished the list. Mr. Potter turned to Lorls. "How about making some coffee. Mrs. Carson? And some sand wiches." Mr. Potter turned to the policeman. "I presume vou could do with some coffee, officer?" -Yes. sir." said Mike. "I certainly would." Lorls hesitated. 1 understood Mr. Carson and I wen to leave at once." -When It's daylight win be time enough." Mr. Potter said. "Just see thst we have something to eat. will you?"

"There are other roofs." said Lorls. slicing bread. "And we can afford to par for them. too. at seventy-five dollars a week." Csrey said nothing but reflected that he would much prefer to have lost the roadhouse Job than the one at Potteraplace. As soon as the coffee was ready Carey and Lorls took trays Into the living room. They served plates of sandwiches and pining hot coffee to Mr. Potter and Mike. An hour later the other police men returned. "Any luck?" Mr. Potter asked eagerly. "We're on their trail." said one of the officers. "We picked up sev eral clews and did a lot of telephon ing. Seems the pair stopped to gel directions down the road." -Everything was insured, but Tm not Interested In the Insurance money. It's the stuff I want back." said Mr. Potter. "YouH keep In touch with me wont you?" asked Mr. Potter, going to the door with the policemen. "I'll be anxious to know what progress you are making." "tERY nice repast." said Mr V potter, returning to the living room where Lorls and Carey were cleaning up the table. "I am glad you enjoyed It." re plied Lorls. carrying away a loaded tray. Carey Joined her In the kitchen a few minutes later. "The old boy Is as hard as nails." he reported. "I thought I could make him change bis mind, but nothing doing." "Well. I certainly am not going to lose any sleep over It," said Lorls "I am going to bed now so I can get a little rest." But Lorls packed her things first before retiring. So did Carey. And at seven o'clock In the morning while Mr. Potter was still sleeping they took a text to the village There they located two housekeep ing rooms and paid a week's rent In advance. "Will you be here long?" the landlady wanted to know. -We're not sure," Carey replied "We're engaged In our work for an Indefinite period." "We sing at The Boulevard Road house." explained Lorls. Smiling, she added: "Might as well advertise ourselves, don't you think?" "You're light." said the landlady. "Maybe the Mister and I will come to see you perform." When the landlady had gone. Carey turned on Loris. "For Pete's sake, why boast about that Job of ours?" "It's nothing to be ashamed of." aid Loris. "That Is where we disagree." "Sorry." said Lorls briefly, going into her room and closing the door She unpacked, hung up her clothes carefully and went to bed. AT seven thirty that evening refreshed and eager to get at the Boulevard piano. Lorls Joined Carer. Again they called a taxi. -This taxi business Is going to make an awful hole in our salary," grumbled Carry. "Stop complaining," said Lorls. Leaning forward, she spoke to the driver. "Drive faster, please. We'll be late." -Sorry. Miss, but I cant go any faster. There's a fire somewhere down the road. Traffic's tied up In knots." "First robbery. Now a fire." said Carey. "Next lt'U be an earth quake." A car headed In the opposite di rection was stalled close to the taxi. Loris leaned from the window. "Where's the fire?" "Oh. It's in some restaurant down the road. The Boulevard Road house. I guess they call it." "The the Boulevard!" Lorla and Carey gasped. "That's the one. Burned to the ground."

NAT'L BANK NEW HIGH MARK The United States National bank, which has one of Its lm nortant units In this city, dis closes in its statement of condi tion to ths United States comp troller as of December 31, 1942, deposits totaling $294,702,266 64, which is an all-time high. This compared with deposits of De cember 31, 1941, of $196,182, 635.29 shows a deposit gain of over 88 minions, resources in its latest current statement were $307,742,190.52 against $208, 552,012.38 of Just a year ago, a gain of over 99 millions. As pointed out by officials of the bank, this is the urst time in Oregon's history that the re sources of any bank in this state reached the amazing total of 300 million dollars. During the past year the cap ital structure of the United States National bank underwent a change, one million dollars from earnings having been added to surplus, making capital and surplus equal a total of 10 mil lion dollars, which, together with undivided profits and re serves, gives the bank a working capital of $12,392,482.90, which greatly broadens its loan capac ity. It is understood from the man agement of the local branch that the phenomenal gains over the past year not only reflect the war-time industrial upheaval in the Portland area, but vitally stimulated activity throughout the state at large. PURGE FUGITIVE FIGHTS FOR U. S. New York, Jan. 7 (U.B A former Soviet brigadier general who narrowly escaped being purged in 1937 is a private in the United States army. Induction of Alexandre Bar- mine on Dec. 4 was revealed after he had spent three weeks at the Fort Dix, N. J., reception center, during which time he concealed his Red army back ground from members of his company. Barmine fled from his post as Soviet charge d affaires in Athens in 1937, rather than obey a recall to Moscow and possible execution in the purge of the army general staff. Barmine, now assigned to a training battalion In New Jer sey, said he is pleased to be do ing his duty in a evry demo cratic army.
