low over the pink tipped fingers, slipping
on n tiny circlet of pearls,

mistaken, perhaps, in their estimate OF

not to be convinced Of it by their own
reason or that of any one else. There
is no cream so rich as that which rises on
split milk, says the proverb, and a very
wise one too.
Should, then, the woman or the girl in
such case boldly grasp the golden fruit
not offered to her; should she, instead of
modestly pretending Inconsistencies

Well, one why not is a grave doubt as

So after all we leave the matter about

The session of the reichstag closed;
the baron returned to Mannheim and re-
sumed the duties of his office. Mean
while his note for 5000 marks, held by
Mr.. Altheimer, was o o to fall due. The
baron wrote u note to his creditor, ask
ing him to call and arrange for an extern
sion of time under the usual conditions.
Altheimer replied briefly in writing that
under the new antiusury law he did not
feel safe in continuing to lend money in
his former way, and therefore proposed
to go into some other business, where
his capital would yield him legitimate
profits. He notified the baron that the
note would be presented for collection.
This turn of affairs was embarrassing
for the young statesman. He wrote
again to Mr.. Altheimer, saying that the
usury act was never intended for cases
like his, and could not apply to their re-
lation. He urged a renewal of the note
as a perfectly safe and sensible transac-
ton.
"A reply soon came from the Hebrew,
acknowledging the baron's good inten-
lions as well as his legal acumen. but at
the same time pointing to the fact that
the Interpretation of the law was left
entirely to thec courts.
"'Under those circumstances Alt
heimer continued, Il do not feel dis
posed to put my neck into the halter. !
cannot renew your note. You have beer
accommodated so far by one of the
much abused Hebrew Insurers at his
own terms. Your popularity and your
position will probably induce some of
your Christian friends t. lend you the
moun without security on perfectly
legal interest.
"Mr. Altheimer's note, it is needless
to add, was promptly paid. Marschall
subsequently became the diplomatic rep
resentative of the grand duke of Baden
at Berlin, and still later he was appoint
ed under secretary of state in the for
eign office, filling the place formerly oc-
cupied by Count Herbert Bismarck

charge was IL per cent. per annum- He

The interest was paid promptly, and the
little bill was extended several times
without any difficulty.
In advocating the antiusury bill in
the reichstag Baron M~arschall delivered
a vehement speech against blood suck
ing Insurers, especially those of Hebrew
descent. The law as passed, largely
owing to Marschall's persistency, was
exceedingly vague in its provisions, cav
ing it practically to the discretion of the
courts to say whether in any given case
