Convertible Paper Money.
CONTINUED from last week.

Continued from last week.
To maintain the convertibility of
paper money in ordinary times it is
not necessary to keep on hand a re-
serve of coin applicable to its REDEEM o.
ton equal to the amount of such pa
per issued. Experience has shown
that only small portion Of the paper
issue is likely to be returned daily for
redemption, and therefore it is suffi-
cient that the redemption fund of
coin should cover this amount by
margin sufficient to provide for ordir-
airy variations. Observe that we have
said that this is true in ordinary time-
The proportion of paper returned for
redemption daily varies in different
countries and at different times, and
according to the circumstances and
financial habits of different peoples.
Hence there is no rule which can be
applied to all countries, or to all cir
cumstances or conditions. If different
conditions of business arise, or a
change in public feeling occurs, the
amount of paper so returned will in
evitably vary and the redemption fund
will have to vary accordingly. What
the amount of the redemption fund
should be can only be determined by
actual experience in the management
of q convertible paper money system.
1t is a question of practical banking,
in which the American people have
had considerable experience, but in
which they have been by 70 means
uniformly successful.
The English system Of banking es-
tablished in 1914 provides for an
uncovered" note issue of about Ety.
100000, secured by English govern
ment stocks. For all issues of notes
in excess of this amount the Bank Of
England must keep on hand an equal
amount of coin applicable to its re-
demption on demand The "Old
Lady of Thread-needle Street, as the
bank is affectiona5 ely called by the
English people, has endured many

Harvey G. CrandaIl.


Died, at Carthage, Mo-, August 81,
1896, Harvey G. Crandall, aged 75years.
Mr.. Crandall fingered for weeks in the
most intense suffering, and through
out all of 1t he never murmured, but
with Christian's faith looked forward
to the end with the blessed assurance
that rest awaited him in world where
sorrow and pain can never enter, and
at last, surrounded by loving family
and sorrowing friends, he passed be-
yond this world of ours to enter upon
a life joy eternal.
Deceased was born in Champion, N.
Y, IN 1921; moved to Wisconsin in
1874. settling in Emmett, Dodge county;
married Miss Esther N. Croker at Mil
waukee in 1916; lived in Wisconsin
until 1868, when he removed to Hi,
nois and finally to Carthage in 1875,
where he has ever since been promi-
nently identified as a business man
and good citizen. He leaves behind
him wife and six children, only two
of whom remain at home. Mr.. Gran
dali was among the first subscribers to
THE WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN and was
still on it's list when he died
Mr.. Crandall was a man whom to
know was to admire. He was gentle
and kind to his family, honest, true
and loyal to his friends, and charitable
to his enemies, if, indeed, he had any.
No human character is or can be en-
tirelY perfect; all men have their de-
fects, their sins of omission and COM
mission, and their faults. He had his;
but of one base quality known to hui
man nature be was singularly free,
and that was hypocrisy. Some years
ago the writer received many kind
deeds from him while on bed of sick
ness, and it was then our friendship
commenced.
Only a few weeks ago we sat at his
table, an invited guest on the occasion
of his and Mrs. Crandall's golden we'd
ding anniversary. Fifty years of mar
ried life looking in the faces of the dear
couple lit up with smiles, the table
groaning with good things, surrounded
by family and friends, we rejoiced with
them that he had been spared through
the five years past of feeble health to
round up his long, useful life by cele-
brating this happy event. But our
friend has passed from life after living
more than ''three score and ten" The
memory of his life Of cheerful duty,
his bright, genial nature, his generous
friendship and humanity, will illumine
the horizon of the present long after
his departure, and when in years to
come we think of him we would be-
lieve with the poet: There is no
death; the stars go down, to rise upon
some fairer shore"

and better days. "
viii you let me think" asked the
perpIeAeQ EnOSnOle.
"Yes Think while l speak with Louis
Kyle. In the meantime stop this firing
Why should every man try TO slay his
brOther?''
Black Eagle went TO the spot where
Font Robb was directing the attack on
the men in the canyon and the conflict
ceased at once. The Prophet, to the in
tense amazement of the two braves
standing guard over Louis Kyle, drew a
knife from the belt of the nearest. and,
before they could prevent him, if indeed
they had any such purpose, he severed
the cords and lifted the young man to
his feet as if he had been a child.
The Prophet did not wish to tell
Louis Kyle of the terrible blow that had
come upon his parents, yet he could no
utter the shadow of an untruth, so he
said vaguely:
'Bouton is everywhere, like the evil
one
"And he is here now!'' cried Louis,
attracted by the clattering Of hoofs and
the sound Of loud talking.
"Herep' repeated the Prophet.
He turned and looked in the direction
from which the sound came Louis Kyle
was not mistaken. Bouton, with IA
number of his companions, rode direct
ly to where the Prophet was standing
In their midst was Nora Kyle who ON

Robb placed Louis Kyle under the same
tree with Nora and Alice, and gave
them into the charge of the Indians.
This enabled Louis to speak to his sis
ter. as he had yeaTned to do since he
first SAW her a captive. From Nora he
leaned all the particulars of the do
struction Of their home and her own cap
trre. The Prophet had already assured
him of the safety of his father and
/ mother.
'And you," he said to Alice, a ten
+ der light coming into his eyes as he
watched her face; Il hoped that you
might bc saved these trials. Z"
That I was not is not your fault.
You did everything that man could do

] piled Alice.
They had been talking for nearly two
hours, when Bouton, happening to pass
near where they Were, ordered Louis
| Kyle to be moved TO another place.

young ladie:, sin order to appease the
feelings Of my men They say: We

Louis rose to accompany him. but
Nora threw her arms about him and
] cried out:
"Oh, do not take my brother from
me! Do not part us. We have done You
no wrong"
Hush, sister," said Louis .These
towards know we have done them no
harm. Your prayers cannot change
them. Be brave and defy them. for our
friends live and they win demand an
| eye for an eye and a tooth for "a tooth. -
He caught his sister to his breast
then he took Alice's hands in his No
word passed between them. For few
seconds they stood looking into each
others eyes, and each saw there the
trust and faith and love and hope that
would never die, for it was of the kind
that is older than time and as enduring
as eternity.
After conducting Louis Kyle TO an
other part of the camp. Boutnn went
over and talked to Patch In order that
their conversation might not be heard,
he led the renegade to one side. They
had been there but minute orfwo
when shot rang out and the degraded
Patch wheeled as if on pivot and fell
dead at Bouton S feet
Bouton felt that the shot was intend
ed for himself and that another would
| follow with deadly effect, so he turned
and ran, and as he ran he glanced bSck,
and away ON the hills he saw. Henry

Of an Indian girl.
Reaching his companions. he ordered
them to arm and scout the surrounding
hills. Nearly so men, all on foot, obey
ed his order, and soon the sound of fir
ing was heard ON the hills and more
than one wounded man came li1nping
back to camp.
1t was after dark when Fairplay and
Font Robb returned, and they brought
the gratifying news that they had driv-
en- Captain Brandon from the hills.

bearded outlaw, "we've lost more men

CHAPTER. XXI

Throughout all the trouble Captalh
Brandon had shown himself to be tire
less and patient If he ever felt fatigue,
he never spoke of it, nor did he show 1t
by any lessening of his amazing energy.
If he ever lost heart, as he might well
do in the face of the continued and ev-
er increasing troubles, he succeeded in
keeping his depression to himself. From
the first he was hopeful, and when 9th
ers got low spirited he cheered them
ND and strengthened them with assur-
ances of final success When he pushed
his way to the place where he had seen
Alice and Clara from the opposite side
Of the canyon and found them missing.
he gave no sign of impatience.
To the doctor, who was nearly dis
consulate, the captain said:
There is good reason for their leav-
ing. Let US try to find their trail. y
They were engaged in this work when
they discovered Black Eagles Indians
and at the same time caught sight Of
the two girls between the two lines.
They charged down and met Clara
flying toward them. She was caught in
the captains arms, and Howard Blanch

in the right direction, for i'll her fiji sht
she ran into the arms of Captain Bran
don, who, with his party, had been
searching for the girls. Though Alice
had not lost her presence Of mind, she
was 50 overcome by exhaustion that
flight was impossible and so she fell
into the hands of Black Eagles braves.
At sight Of Bouton the lttle strength
that had erabled her to walk in the
midst of the Indians and so prevented
their laying hands on her gave way,
and she fell to the ground in a swoon.
He was about to take her up ii his
arms when he heard a cry behind him,
and the next instant Nora Kyle was
kneeling beside Alice, and her white
arms We're supporting the beautiful head.
Alice speedily revived, and, looking at
the beautiful, sad face bending over
her, she could not but think in the un-
certain light that it was her sister.
"And you did not escape, Clara?''
she sighed.
'I am Nora Kyle, the sister of Louis,
and-and''- was going to add, "of
Henry" but she checked herself and
ended by saying, land /, too, am a

Unknown to each other, though unit
ed by q close bond of consanguin1ty,
these Two girls wire ut unUo drawn 40
each other by that strongest Of ties, a
common affliction. Nora Kyle knew
that the girl resting in her arms was
. her cousin, but she could not tell her
so. She felt that the secret of her ia
theirs crime must remain locked in her
breast forever, yet did the fact impress
her now, and she, who had often i'll her
solitude sighed for a sister, now felt
that she had one in her arms.

Mr.. BRYAN'S RECORD.

Some Iacts That Are Worthy of Careful
Consideration.
1t is fact which the thinking voter Is
considering just now, that William J.
Bryan does not touch upon the tariff, nor
does he refer to the point that his election
will mean "a continuation Of the hard times
which have come upon the country as
result of the passage of the Wilson tariff
bill-a bill misna7 Id measure for nsvs-
nue., but which produces nothing but de-
felt.
Mr. Bryan is eagerly seeking the votes
of the farmers, yet on April z, 1892, he
voted in the house in favor of the Springer
bill to place wool on the free list, thus
striking blow ut every farmer who al
tennis To diversity his industry by raising
sheep The wool growers of Ohio, Of
Texas of the west and southwest, remem-
ber this
On the next day, April s. 1892, he voted
in favor Of repeating the duty and admit
ting free foreign bagging for cotton, ma
chinery for its manufacture, cotton ties
and cotton gins. Here he voted against
the interest of the workingmen employed
III COiJOn VI III eaO coiAoA@8
of machinery thereof.
On July s, 1892, Mr. Bryan voted to re-
duce the duty on tin plate and to repeal
the section of the Mckinley law which
created the great tin plate industry in the
United States. Another blow was then
dealt ut the workingmen whose votes he
now so eagerly seeks!
On May 2, 1892, Mr.. Bryan moved to
suspend the rules and pass his bill to place
binding twine on the free list. He then
struck another blow at the workingmen,
for hundreds of them found employment
In the manufacture Of twine. 1t will not
do to say his action was "for the benefit
of the farE,er," because the price Of bind.
ing twine is no lower now than 1t was In
1892 His bill merely gave foreign work
men employment at the expense OF the
American workmen. 1t injured the latter,
and did not benefit the farmers.
On July S, 1892, Mr.. Bryan voted for the
bill to reduce the duty on lead ore, and TO
discriminate in favor of lead ores contain
ing silver This bill could not possibly
benefit any American workingman. 1t
injured those employed in lead miniu0
and smelling; it injured the men who
delve in silver mines Possibly it helped
the men who deal in silver bullion-but
certainly not one American workingman-
Mr.. Bryan's votes in congress were uni
formly In favor Of measures whose effect
was to reduce the wages OF American
workingmen, and to diminish the amount
of work open to them. He voted to reduce
or remove the duties on imported farm
products. Is man who votes steadily to
promote foreign interests at the expense OF
our own to be honored with the highest
office in the peoples gift, as reward for
such action?
Bryan's votes and his voice have been
and are in favor Of cheap labor and cheap
money-for free trade and free silver.

pleasure at receiving so large q re-en-
forcement was somewhat dampened
when he learned that these outlaws had
fed into the mountains to escape the
troops and the vigilance committees
that had been sent against them. Said
one bearded giant, known to his com
panions by the misnomer Fairplay:
"This'll all soon blow over The
troops and vigilantes get tired and soon
peter out. Men amt a-goin to hunt us
long without pay, ond there's no pay
for vigilance committees, I'm happy to
say. Now, as we're all over here, Bou-
ton, if there's any little job you'd like
to have pushed through, and have a
hint that there is, why, jest give the
word, and me and all the boys will give
you the very best we have in the shop. :"
That's all right, Fairplay. l know
I can count on you, and I'll confess
have job on hand that l want to fin
ish up, but isn't there danger that you'll
be followed?" asked Bouton.
"Folloredr' repeated Fairplay.
Bouton nodded.
"There isn't any more danger of be-
in follored than there is of the great
Missouri runnin up hill i'll flood time.
Why, 1 tell you, we've shook 'em all
off. -
You are sure?''
I'm sartin Think I'd be such fool
as to leave 'em the ghost Of n trail? No,
sir, the hunts up and here we are.
Now, what's your private muss?" And
Fairplay showed his entire self posses
rion by biting a semicircle from plug
Of tobacco and rendering Bouton SINH
lar luxury.
"Do YOU remember Brandon?" u. ,:ed
Bouton.
Captain Brandon?" Fairplay show
ed that he remembered this gentleman
by drawing himself up to his full
height and closing one eye
That's the man, Fairplay."

"What doin?"

Indians and white men, 1 think
something like 20 men"
Il guess you'll scrape up 100 rifles
pretty closer"
This conversation here came to close,
for the new arrivals crowded around
Bouton and he had to recognize them.
He showed that he had wonderful
memory for names, particularly rs the
names borne by these wretches were
such as never parents gave at baptisml
font. Many Of them were decidedly per-
sonal, being derived from the physical
defects Of their owners. Bowlegs, Cock

of the recognized titles, ard they We're
