make their purchases OF Whatever kind
from bread to battleships, their silver
dollar will be accepted for just what It is
worth and no more. The legislative fiat
can't compel the agriculturist to sell
wheat or the shipbuildsr to build battle
ships at half price just because they must
accept half-price "oollar" in payment.
1t will take two OF the half-price "dollars"
to buy, that's all there is TO that. And
by the time the agriculturist and the
shipbuilder get their "dollars" and go to
make their own purchases they may find
that three of the "dollars" are necessary
to buy the same things that were bought
before for two and that are today bought
for one sound dollar.
Joshua stopped the sun with fiat, but
that was long while age.

that were also hunting mornings would
read prayers with his surplice thrown
over his pink coat and his spurred and

Straubenzee's valet was only lust carry
ing in his masters shaving water and
opening the green jalousies of the queer
little house that looked ON the sea and
stood back from the road with a rustic
air, suggesting desire for privacy on
the part Of its owner, which in this in
stance was perfectly correct.
"Do you think l might venture to
come in to breakfast" inquired Will
coaxingly as he and Mamie slowly
very slowly-advanced 81 haven't

Cricket matches don't begin at s

said Mamie rebukingly, "and father

If only the chief had stopped here
grumbled Will. He must needs leave

walks there, Mamie, for lovers-and

not even a railway, to bury himself and
you. And do waste such lots of time
in boat that l might be spending

but very bad for my heart !"'

away, "said Mamie, laughing. "There
used to be no links there, you know,
and some people grumbled and actually
declared it was dull"

said Will, "about Scotch minister who
was deprecating to friend the tendency
of the game to produce hasty language,
and he concluded by saying, Il had to
give it up in consequence.
"'What, golf?'

assuringly.
"But it might have been father.
Now go, Willie, before we are caught,
and if you keep your eyes open during
the morning we may get half an hour
together later on, and you must be so
hungry, poor boy"
Behind the umbrella that bobbed re-

parted. Lord Straubenzee was wit

triches and smiled
Going back by the way he had come,
having first watched the light of his
eyes into the house, Will Cassilis met
the strange pair who had so greatly ex-
ercised the mind of Chudleigh Salterton,
and he looked at them both keenly, in
quiringly, as a young man who is afraid
of nothing looks at something entirely
outside his own interests that is yet in
teresting. That cool, masculine look to
