Money Grows But not in the ground. * 'Money makes Money" and it is necessary to put it to work. A savings account in this hank with interest compounded quar terly is growing for you tiay, money into your pocket which would be lost if this money were idle. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK LOUISBURG, N. C. Member of the Federal Reserve System F. B. McKinne, President F. J. Beasley, Cashier Uapital, Surplus and Undivided Profits 583,000.00 ? DON'T START TOO LATE A MAN "WAS RUNNING hard to catch a car. He was almost ready to swing aboard when the car started forward and the conductor closed the door. A friend who was near him said: "John, you didn't run fast enough." '.'Yes I did run fast enough," he replied, "but I didn't start soon enough." And thai will be the story of a lot of folks who put off saving money until they are well along in years. They may save as fast as they can but they will find they did not start soon enough. A dollar saved by a child will grow into several dollars before old age comes. That is why we urge all young people to learn to save money. Think it over. Farmers National Bank J. M ALLEN. T. H.

"I.aklngtoa won't," ?*ld Hugh with a grin. "And If you see him tomor row ? don't ask after his Jaw. . . . Good-night, Phyllis." With a quick movement he raised her hand to his lips; then he slipped In the clutch and the car disappeared down the drive. . . He felt asena* of~el*t!on and of triumph at having won the ttrst round, and as the car whirled back to Loo don through the cool night air his heart was singing with Joy of action. And It was perhaps as well for his peace of mind that he did not witness the scene In the room at The Kims Laklngton still lay motionless on the floor; Peterson's ctgar STlttgTowed steadily In the darkness.

"It will be a pity to lose him." "Why nnt ? htm tlPd ? ? tJjF" girl?" yawned Irma. "I think he might amuse me ? " "We have always ?iir dear Henry to consider," answered Petersoo. "Apparently the "girl appeals to him. Tm nfreid. _Irma, ha'll have to gn , . . and at once. . . The speaker was tapping his left fcng* ?*tiy with his hand"; *s*re for that slight ntovement he sat as If nothing had happened. And yet ten minutes before a carefully planned coup had falted at the Instant of success. Even his most fearless ac complices had been known to con fess that Peterson's Inhuman calmness sent cold shivers down theln backs. CHAPTfcH THREE. In Which Thing# Happan In Half Moon Straat. ONE. Hugh Drummond folded up the piece of paper he was studying and^ ro*e- to -fet* feet =Ss rfn1- do?Wr came" Id to the room. He then pushed a all- I ver box of cigarettes across the table and waited. "Your friend." said the doctor, "Is In a very peculiar condition. Captain Drummond ? very peculiar. Can you enlighten me at all as to what he Uas_ IUH'H tlOltife during the last tew days?" Drummond shook his head. "Haven t an earthly, doctor." ?There Is. for Instance, that very unplen sant wiuntL-lu his thumb." pnr. . sued thfr other. 'The top Joint is crushed to a pulp."

"In fact. If It's any help to you In your diagnosis that wound was caused by the application of an un pleasant medieval Instrument known as a thumbscrew." The worthy doctor looked at him In amiTpmpnt "A thumbscrew! You must be Joking, Captain Drummond." "Very far from it," answered Hugh briefly. "If you want to know. It was touch and go whether the other thumb didn't share the same fate." He blew out a cloud of smoke and smiled Inwardly as he noticed the look of scandalized horror on his compan ion's face. "It isn't his thumb that concerns me," he continued ; "It s his general condition. What's the matter with him?" The doctor pursed his lips and looked wise, while Drummond won dered that no one had ever passed a law "allowing men oi "his 'type to "be murdered on sight. "His heart seems sound," he an swered after a weighty pause, "and I found nothing wrong with him con stitutionally. In fact, I may say. Captain Drummond, he Is in every respect a most healthy man. Except ? er ? except for this peculiar condi tion." Drummond exploded. "Damnation take It man, what on earth do you suppose I asked you to come round fori It'# of no Interest to me to hear that his liver la working properly." Then he controlled himself. "I beg your pardon, doctor; 1 had rather a trying evening last night. Can you give me any Idea as to what has caused this peculiar condition V His companion accepted the apology with an acid bow. "Some form of drug." ha answered. Drummond heaved a sigh of relief. "Now we're getting on," he fried. "Have you any Idea what drug?" "It is. at the moment, hard to sny." returned the other. "In a day or two, perhaps, I might be able to ? er? ar rive at some conclusion ..." "Which, at present, you have not. Right ; now we know where we are. As you don't know what the drug Is. presumably you don't know either how long It will take for the effect to wear off." ?That ? er ? is. within llinlts.l cor rect," runceded the doctor. I "What about diet?" "Oil! light. . . . Not too much meat. . , ? No alcohol ? He rose to his feet as Hugh opened the door ; reajly the war seetne.l to have produced a distreiwlng effect <mi people's manners. Diet was the one question on which he always let him self go.

"Why not go up and see for yourself?" me car rolled smoothly Into Plc cadllly, but the man showed no signs of availing himself . of the doctor's suggestion. He turned and walked raifldly away, and a few moments later ? in an exclusive West End club ? a tnink call was put through to Godalmlng ? a call which caused the tlon and order the Rolls-Hojrce. Meanwhile, unconscious of ttils sud den solicitude for his health, Hugh I>rummond was once more occupied with the piece of paper he had been studying on the doctor's entrance.

"Indeed, sir," murmured his servant. | "The gentleman is asking for you, Mt'* Mrs. Danny's voice from the 1 door made them look round. Hugh walked quickly along the pass age to the room where the million- 1 ?ire lay in bed. "How are you feeling?" said Drum mond cheerfully. The man stared at him uncompre- | hendlngly, and shook his head. (TO BE CONTINUED) We are prepared to do your Shoe and Harness Repairing promptly.
