Then the face of each turned to each,
n long time they gazed into each
others eyes. as though their very
souls were barred unto each other. Then
rilently their arms entwined, and softly
sheir lips met and pressed and chung;
Ind so rested they, still upon their
knees, for the moment was sacred at
once to love and to death. The thought
OF what was to come was in the heart
OF each. and cast around them a great
" that seemed to wrap them in; but
even over this their pure love tri-
umphed. and the man and the maiden
were shown therein the truth of Ma
marah's words, that love is stronger
than death.
Then Adina lifted up his voice and
prayed.
And Namarah, in her gentle voice,
which the words of Adina's prayer
made now to tremble, answered even
also, amen"
After they got them to their feet
and went in search Of the maiden,s
father J%ephthah, that they might speak
unto him cheering words and comfort
him with the comfort wherewith their
souls within them had been comforted.
And Namarah spoke unto her father
Jephthah, and said:
Let this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months, that l may go
up and down upon the mountains. and
bewail my unhappy lot"
And he said:
Go"
And after this, behold. the face of the
maiden was no longer sorrowful, but
ever there beamed forth from it a most
calm and shining light that even COM
the hearts OF all who gazed on
her.

CHAPTER VIII.

liza Eli VIII.
On the evening of the return from
battle OF the hosts of Jephthah, the
Gileadite, Namarah went, as was he,
wont. to feed her doves, and as she
among them, more white thar
was the gown she wore, there came
70 ner. down the garden-walk. through
the parted branches of the trees, the
young man Adina.
NOW. Namarah knew that he would
come. even at this time and place. but
her heart within her trembled. and the
color was not so far gone from out her
cheek but that his coming called it
back. like to a rose in bloom.
Adina, who had rested from his
travelling and refreshed himself, was
CLAD this evening, like Namarah, all in
Wnite. IN q stately robe that swathed
MS stalwart body from the shoulder to
the sandals on his feet. His beautiful
strong young arms were hid beneath
its folds, until, as he came up to where
q maiden stood, he reached them
out and folded her tenderly and
strongly against his breast.
Hurt not the bird, Adina,' she said.
slowly. as he held her there n knew
not to distinguish between the f1utter-
Ing Of the dove and the beating Of the
maiden's heart. 1T is even thy little
messenger. which did company thee
upon thy dangerous ~wanderings and
bring me the message Of thy heart to
mine"
How knowest thou It is the same
Namarah." he made answer. seeing
a q these snow-white birds of thine
are like as be garden-lilies?" And as
he spake, he held her still with one
strong arm, while the other hand he
laid above her little one that gently
smoothed the rufled plumage OF the
frightened bird.
i knew 1t even by It's travel-stains
and by its broken feathers. See the
birding hath cen suffered in u SER
vice." and, as she spake, she lifted II
and kissed 1t tenderly, at which Adina
swiftly bent his tall head and kissed
The very spot wherein her lips had
Vim upon the bird. saying as he did SO:
Thy kisses are all mine, Namarah.

thou hast given to the bird. II was

long. Release the bird that hath too
long engaged the touches of thy hands.
Tor these be mine also. and tonight !
long for all thy love. seeing that nv
heart within me is like to burst with
sorrow"
Then Namarah swiftly loosed the
bird. which flew away and vanished
from their sight, even as the maiden
threw her arms about her lovers neck
and yielded herself to his most sweet
embrace.
Il pray thee sorrow not, Adina, nv
beloved" She spake low. "Thine am

BY r. NJ. Larner.

Washington, Sept. 24.-At the Capitol
to-day, the positive statement was
made by those engaged in getting the
building in readiness for the assemb-
ling of Congress, that the date of the
extra session has been definitely fixed
for Nov. 9.
Supt Elliott Woods could have the
building ready for occupancy at an
earlier date, if necessary, for when
the present improvements and deco
rations were commenced, it was UNI
derstood that they were to be com
pleted not later than Oct. Is. Work
has been progressing steadily on that
basis so that Mr.. Woods says he will
have the Senate and House Hobbies
finished by that date and the various
committee rooms and corridors redeco-
rated and furnished at the same time.
In anticipation of Congress being
called together earlier than Nov. 9,
the carpets are now laid upon the
floors of the chambers of the House
and the Senate and the desks are be-
ing placed in position. The house will
celebrate it's entry into the -Four
hundred" class, by an even -four
hundred desks for members in the
hall of the House of Representatives.
The new membership, under the
latest apportionment, is 3S5, and the
fifteen extra desks are supplied to
preserve the symetery in the arrange
ment of seats in the semi circle. The
Senate Chamber will be covered with

the same green and gold floor cover
ing as last year.
The House side outshines the Senate
this year in making improvements for
the convenience and comfort of its
members. The Speakers lobby has
been frescoed, In elaborate style, by
Senior Rochermann, an under-study OF
the late Bermuda, whose work adorns
the dome of the rotunda. The COM
mittee rooms of invalid pensions, and
insular affairs have been redecorated
by the same artists, and fitted up with
handsome furnishings to match. The
House library has been fitted up win
steel shelving, and a white marble
flooring has replaced the carpeted hcor
in the Speakers lobby.
improvements have been made in the
Senate and House cafes. The most no
ticeabe addition to the Senate dining
room is a steam table so that hungry
senators may obtain a hot quick lunch
con without being obliged to wait Their
turn in the private dining-rooms, where
the accommodations are not always
equal to the demands OF senators and
their friends about midday.
Uncle joe Cannon is on deck, wait
ing to get busy. He has opened his
headquarters in the Appropriations
Committee room, where he can keep
one eve on the Speakers chair. and at
the same time straighten out some OF
the hoid-over details in connection with
his former duties as chairman OF the
Appropriations Committee. Uncle
Joe" has his own ideas about the
organization of the various committees,
but he is TOO diplomatic to indulge In
any premature discussion on that sub
ject for publication.

AMERICAN IMPLEMENTS
ARE THE VERY BEST.
All the world Has Grown to Recog-
nize This Fact.


Washington, Sept. 24.-American
made agricultural implements are uni
versally regarded as the best in the
world. American manufacturers of i'm
plements and machinery employed in
the cultivation of products of the earth
are successfully competing with all the
great countries of the world in this line
of business This statement is fully
justified by tile Investigations and re-
ports made to the government at Wash
ington by American consuls and other
authorized representatives of the Unit
ed States in foreign lands.
Agricultural implements exported
from the United States last year
amounted to S21, 100000 in value; in 1893
they amounted to only $4,50O,000 in
value; in 1888, to less that s4,000,000;
in 1873. to 2,500.0O0, and in 1853 to less
than 100000. The growth of exporta-
ton of this class of manufa ctures mas
been extremely rapid Prior to 1865
the expectation of agricultural imple-
ments had never reached as much as
a million dollars, and during the twen-
tv-nve years following that date the
growth was slow, the total having
reached about $3,S59,000 in 1890 From
that date forward, however, the grown
WAS
500. 900; in 1900, $16,000.000, and, as al
ready indicated, in 1903. S2l 100000.
OF this total $21, 900, 900 worth OF ag-
ricultural implements exported last
year. nearly $1,000 900 in value went to
France, and about an equal sum 10
Argentine; $4,000 600 to the United
Kingdom, and about an equal sum to
Germany: 81 ,250, 900 to Austria and over
81 900, 900 to Africa. These are the fig
ures of 1903 In 1898 the value of ag-
ricultural implements sent to France
was but about $500, 900, as against near
ly SO, 900 900 I'm the year just ended. The
value of these sent to Germany in 1893
was about 100000. against s1,500,O0O in
the year just ended. To Argentina the
value in 1898 was about d.250,000.

total has grown from a little over $780,
900 in 1864 to over $2l,000,000 in 1903.
or nearly forty times as much in 1903,
as in 1854, while manufactures of iron
and steel, in which the growth has
been looked upon as phenomenal, are
only about thirteen times as much in
value of exports In 1908 as in 1864. The
distribution of American agricultural
implements has also extended to near
ly all parts of the world. The bureau
of statistics export statement shows
that reaoers and mowers were sent in
1902 to over fifty different countries,
and plows and cultivators to even a
larger list Of countries and dependcn-

When deposits commence to be gener-
any Withdrawn through lack of conf
dence, the purchasing power of the
country is decreased, the money actu-
ally in circulation is lessoned, prices
fall, industry stagnates and CONNER
clal depression ensues. Now these
lightly taxed asset notes are to be is
sued under an optional system. The
banks can issue the notes or not, as
they please.
This makes it impossible to deter
mine from the past record of the ma
tional banking system as a whole what
the amount of the tax should be to
make them safe, for percentage deduc-
tons from the record of the whole
system cannot safely be applied to a
part when there is no way of telling
the size or location of the part of the
system which will choose to issue the
notes. Therefore, in order to make
the notes safe in addition to the tax,
a first lien of the note holder over the
depositor is provided for by these
plans. This would result in the case
of every insolVent bank which had is
sued these notes in a heavy loss to the
depositorS over and above the loss
they would experience under the pres
ent system under which the proceeds
of the notes are invested in a practi-
bonds-the sale of which redeems the
notes without recourse on the depos-
itors. These severe localized losses
caused depositors by the first lien
would be an object lesson tending to
lessen the confidence of the depositor
class.
ANY fair asset currency plan should
provide for a prorata lien of note
holders on the same plane as depos-
itors n against the assets of an in
solvent bank. No important asset
currency system in the world except
that of the small banking system OF
Canada provides for a first lien for
note holders similar to that which is
proposed in such bill as Fowler's,
for example: In the report of his re-
cent speech in Chicago, which 1 read
Secretary Shaw did not state whether
or not he favored first lien for the
note holder under his plan as against

however, makes the first lien unneces-
sary for the safety of the Shaw notes.
The government should not guaran-
tee the notes, nor would such guar
anty be necessary.

only plan upon which it is possible to
