Philip was reading the evening paper
when Mrs. Thorndyke came into the
library before dinner, and he made n

hen he greeted her. The hope that she
would give him time to lead up grad
ualiy to the subject of his interview
with DIR. Percvin had scarcely taken
shape when her first question flung him
into the midst of it.
did you go to see the doctor to-day,
Phil?" she asked, moving the reading
lamp that its light might serve him
better.
what doctor?-oh. you mean Pere-
vim. Yes, went down and told him l

me too much, or something of thai
sort; that I'd better break away and go
live in the woods"
But seriously. Philip; you know how
we are worried about you. Doesn't he
think you're in danger?"
Danger OF what?" Philip threw
down his paper and stood up before
her. do l look like sick man? Can
you stretch imagination to the point OF

His manner was reassuring enough.

love is not to be hoodwinked by appear

bility of keeping her away from the
dreaded subject, Philip Ekillfully in
troduced his plan of migration.
"Why, of course" she said; II don't
see why we hadn't thought of that be-
fore. We can find some quiet place
down south where we can be comfort
able. and we can tnke Helen with u.s."
Philips heart smote him when he set
himself to denolish this cheerful plan
Having had time to think nbout il, he
had demonstrated to his own sntisfac-

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS,

Postmaster General Gary has
announced his purpose to recon-
mend 10 Congress the establish
1nent of postal suyiugs-bauks.
The system has worked well
in Great Britain, where saw
lngs bank department was estab-
Jished in the pOsr>"fice depart
ment as early as 1861. The de-
partmeut keeps a separate acN
count with each deposition, and
pays interest at the rate Of two
and one half per cent. AS the
deposits are handed over to the
Commissioners for the reduction
of the national debt, the plan
practically amnunts to distribn-
lion of considerable portion Of
the national Indebtedness among
multitude Of smaII investors.
One strong reason for The in
PRODUCTION OF the system in this
country is that in many of the
states there are no savings banks
ct any kind. There is great val
ne III amy system which encoura"
yes people To lay by email sums
from time to time, to provide tor
future needs. The wise old max
i'm winch bids US to take care Of
the pence, for the pounds will
take care Of themselves, is MAJ
terially reinforced when means
is provided by which the pence
may be safely kept, and may also
accumulate other pence. The
great advantage OF the posta.
savings bank is that it would
carry this opportunity to the E.
hottest corner OF the country.
There are other considerations,
however, which cannot be ignor-
ed. For one thing the plan in-
wolves a continuous borrowing by
the government from the people,
In country where al increasing
national debt is considered una,
voidable this is well euouuh; but
1t is different with US, The U.
nited States has no excuse fol-
borrowing money, 1t ought tC
be paying of It's debt rather than
increasing 1t.
Uuder the most favorable con
ditions, the postal savings bank
system canuot do for a c"mmunl.
~ all that Is done by the mutua
savings bank under Local manage
ment, of the type Of those in The
New England States. These
banks NOT only furnish a saft
place OF deposite; they also pro
vide u considerable tupd which II
available for local investment. A
man who wants to borrow, If ht
bo has good property to offer ~
security, can 20 TO the local saw
juga bank and get what he Want
on better terms than if lie mad Il
seek capitalist ut distance,
Ia stare where the rate of in
terest is high, one cause may US
ually be found in the fact tina
money has to borrowed from
