"The nation is saved!" cheered Val Russel as Bruce dropped down at Loring's desk.

Johnny was already busy writing.
"Do hurry!" urged Constance.

"It's two minutes of four!" Johnny jumped up with two checks on the First National Bank and passed one to Constance and one to Polly.
"Tough luck!" suddenly commented Val Russel.

"It just occurs to me that our friend Johnny will have to break into his million to pay for his blow-out." "I'm glad of it," snapped Morton Washer.
