Crime In High Places.

Among the interesting statements
made last month in the house by Jerry
Simpson, we find one concerning tho
banks: 1T is well KNOWN he said,
that there are certain well defined
statutes regulating the affairs Of the
national banks. 1t is also equally well
known that upon some points the law
leaves the comptroller of the currency
no discretion" Mr. Simpson proceed
ed to say that the law provides certain
penalties for the taking of deposits
after the bank is known to be in an
insolvent condition. THE statute
makes certain very strict rules regard
ing the loaning of the funds of the
banks to persons acting as officials or
on the board of directors" Neverthe
less, the recent comptroller Of the cur
rency, Mr.. Eckels, published over his
own signature statement that "he had
for many months known of the viola
ton of the statutes by the officials of
the Chestnut Street National bank of
Philadelphia. and had screened them
because Of the fact that an election was
at hand and because he believed that
by doing so "he might save the conse-
quences Of big bank failure at a
critical time No attempt has been
made to punish Mr.. Eckels for violat
ing the law. Instead Of being in prison

beautifully decorated, the hangings
were Of rich rose silk and lace, a pro-
fusion of flowers perfumed the room.
What a lady's bower!' said the
earl-"fiowers and lace and perfume!
What a dainty little nest!''
Then it struck him that this was the
first time since their marriage that he
had entered any room belonging to his
wife.

Raven, the town which belonged al
most entirely to the Ravensmere es-
tates. He did not return until late in
the evening, and she did not see him.
On the day following she determined
to make an opportunity. AS it hap
pened, the earl was at the breakfast
table.
1T will be easy enough she
though now When breakfast is
over, l will ask him to spare a few
minutes for me-"
But, when breakfast was over, the
earl went off with some gentlemen to
the stables. There was fear that
his favorite horse was ill., so it was no
time then to plead the widows cause.
She tried again at luncheon-it was
equally in vain; and the young cour-
tess smiled to think that there should
be so much difficulty in the way of
speaking a word to her own husband.
AS a last resource she went to the Red
room.
"Raoul,' she said, Lord Caraven al
ways comes when you want him. Will
you make some excuse for sending for
particularly, and can not find an OPP
portunity."
Sir Raoul was only too pleased; he
thought that the fact of her wishing to
speak to him at all was good sign.
He sent for him, and in few minutes
the earl arrived, pleased, as he always
was, to be of use to Sir RaOul.
The soldier talked to him for few
minutes about an imaginary want, and
He had bowed to his wife on entering
the room, but had not spoken to her;
now she came up to him.
Lord Caraven," she said, "can you
spare me ten minutes? l will not de-
tain you longer
An expression of Impotence came
over his face; she saw it, and her own
blanched with anger.

ally; 1T is not of myself that / wish to
speak,
II was just going out he told her,
hastily.
Her first impulse was to sweep dis
painfully from the room, and never to
speak to him again. For one half min
ute she felt that she hated him; and
then she remembered that she had
promised to plead the widows cause
te widow who loved her home for her
dear lads sake.
Lord Caraven," she said, gently, 81
promise that l will not detain you
long?" Will you come with me to my
room?'
The earl threw up his eyes with an
expression of resignation. Only Sir
Raoul saw it and he felt annoyed.
II will follow he said to his wife;
and she led the way to her boudoir. 1t

CHAPTER XXVI.-(Continue
But, my lady, it was the keepers
who buried my husband-I think the
earl forgot him. We lived then in a
little cottage-one belonging to the
earl; and, my lady, since my husbands
death, l have lived there-I do not
know why--rent free. Living there has
been my livelihood. l have had no
rent to pay; and every week l have
earned few shillings by taking in
washing for the people at Court Raven.
So, my lady, the little cottage has, aft
err fashion, kept me and my children.
But now paper has come to say that
henceforth we must pay rent-four and
sixpence each week-for the place; and,
my lady, if l pay it, I shall not be
able to buy bread for my children to
eat"
But you shall not pay it," said the
young countess.
"Oh, my lady bless you! If you
would but speak to the earl for me!
He is young, and he does not think
he does not know. If you would but
speak to him for me!'
Il promise to help you" said Lady
Caraven. Il will speak to the earl. my
husband; he will let you stay without
paying rent
II know he will-if he understands;
but, my lady, Mr.. Blantyre does as he
likes with the poor, and the earl knows
nothing about it. What could four
shillings and sixpence week matter to
the earl? And my husband died to
save his birds"
Il will do all / cam said the coun
tess; come and see me again in three
days time from now
And Lady Caraven placed in the thin
hand that which made the widows
heart beat fast with joy.

ID surely the low
Hest creature on her husbands estate.
1t was unheard of. She did not give
vent to her anger by any loud outburst
of emotion. She did not pace up and
down the room, clinching her hands;
but she stood silent, her face pale as
death, her eyes filled with angry fire.
That he should dare to be unkind to
her! That he should ave listened with
that satirical smile on his face, perhaps
laughing at her in his heart! She
shrank from herself
Heaven help me- she said, "but
am afraid that hate him."
Her hands trembled slightly.
81 am in a passion" she said to her
self-"and no wonder. Was ever wife
refused such tritle?"
While she stood trying to stem the
wild current of anger and to cool the
fire that seemed to burn in her heart
and brain, a servant her own maid, en-
tered.
My lady" she said, the earl is
seeking you. Shall tell him that you
are here?"
She neither moved nor stirred when
the earl came in. She neither turned
her beautiful head nor raised her proud
eyes. He looked at the tall, slender fig
ure, so unbending, so defiant.
"Hildred,' he said sharply, II wish
to speak to you"
She did not even raise her white eye
lids or give the faintest sign that she
had heard him.
II wish to speak to you," he repeat
ed. more sharply.
II can hear" said Lady Carayen.
Speak on
But | do not choose to speak, mad
anne, unless you give me your atten-
tion
Never did empress of old turn a
laughter face to her foe than she
bending.
II would not submit to him now"
she thought IF l must die for it,"
She might have stood as statue for
Pride.
Listen to me- said the earl. 81
have been thinking over what you said
and I do not like it. Do you hear? !
do not like it.
She answered him never a word.
do not irritate me" he said. II am
always master of myself IL have a
good temper generally, but when I am
angry I forget myself. Do not irritate
me-
II have no wish to irritate you," she
replied, with quiet dignity. "Say what
you have to say that l may go quick
ly.'
II have to say this, Lady Caraven,
that you must not speak to me again
as you have done today-never; 1 can
not permit it. The wealth of Ravens
mere is yours, not mine: but the right
to manage my tenants is mine, and I
will allow no one to dictate to me-"
1.-THE right to manage them most GER
tainly is yours, but I contend that they
are cruelty mismanaged, and that the
wrongs done to the poor on your estate
will recoil on your own head, as will
the waste, the extravaganza, and the
folly"
II am willing that they should Still,
I will take anything but advice, and
that least of all from you, Lady Cara
ven, although you may think that you
have the best right to give it. 1 have
no wish to repeat any angry words, but
you must understand once and for all
that brook no dictation.'
She bowed to him.
'Is that all you wished to say, my
lord?"
He looked at the beautiful white,
proud face, SO still, so full of depressed
feeling.

poor widows visit
Lady Caraven had
no opportunity o f
speaking to her
husband. He cared
little enough, as a
rule. for county
business, but he
was compelled to
attend a political
meeting at Court
