you were here alone."
"I returned home unexpectedly.
I unlocked the front door and
walked right Into the anna of the
thugs."
-And they tied you up before
helping themselves?"
-No. they already had helped
themselves. 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." The offlosr turned to
ens of his men. "You stay on duty
here. Mike, and get a complete de
scription of the missing articles.
Kelly and I will do the outside
work."
When the other policemen had
left. 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

-When It's daylight win be time
enough." Mr. Potter said. "Just see
thst we have something to eat. will
you?"
IN THE kitchen Lorls took a deep
breath. "At least we aren't going
to be turned out In the middle of
the night."
- "Maybe the old boy Is softening."
said Carey hopefully.

Csrey said nothing but reflected

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

Carey Joined her In the kitchen a

"The old boy Is as hard as nails."

"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

There they located two housekeep

"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

"It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"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

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."

OREGON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 7. 1943
U. S. 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.
