THE CROSSED CHEQUE
A firm of stock and station agents in Australia had a bill of £2O 9s 6d to pay. It drew the* cheque, and the cheque (crossed) was signed, but then it got wrapped up in a newspaper which was sent with others to the troops in the Middle East. The boys found it eventually, and 80 of them headed by a lieutenant, tried to cash it, but the local banks would not do so. Therefore the cheque with its 30 endorsements was returned to semler with the stern instruction: "In f-uture cheques of this nature Should not be crossed." 4
