to do so. The storm WAS over and the
first wild surges of my grief had stilled,
leaving me calm and collected, yet was
unhappy, and below the placid surface
my soul was in a turbulent state. My love
for Will Hanley knew no diminution,
but burned as deeply as ever, amount
ing to mad infatuation that refused
to be conquered or quelled. Sometimes
when alone in my own room my calm
ness and self-control gave way, and IN

moaned for my lost love.
Then one day there came to me new

that they thought it very queer that

improper motives as the reason why he
did SO. Yet was powerless to stay
his attentions, since there was nothing
improper in them, and rs they plainly
emanated from his solicitude for my
welfare.
1 did not believe that he had any i'm
proper designs, for never once since his
return had he reverted to the theme
with which he had so startled me ON
two or three occasions before he went
away. It was my opinion that in his
absence he had thought the matter
over and seen how wrong his conduct
had been, and that now he was trying
to atone for it, and make me feel that
he sincerely regretted it,

In not preparing gold for ship
ment until gold certificates have been
deposited for it and the refusal
of the New York banks to give out gold
certificates have served to check gold
exports temporarily. But both of these
acts will tend TO increase the cost to our
shippers who act for our importers of
merchandise rather than to raise the
cost of gold to the foreign bankers.
They do not effect the rate Of exchange,
but only the incidental expenses of
shipment. European banks and bank
ers offer inducements Of premiums, in
terest from time of shipment and high
rates of interest in order TO induce gold
to come to them at needful times. Their
measures are purely arbitrary, how
