PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.
Recommendations of the Monetary
Commission Approved.

Colonel Edwards chief of the insular bu-
reau of the War Department, has sent the
following cable message to Governor Taft,
at Manila, in regard to the operations of
the monetary commission: --
Henry c. Ide, Charles A Conant and
Prof jeremiah w. jerks recommend no
time be fixed for establishment of gold
standard until full preparations have been
made covering in detail methods of MAIN
tanning parity. Letter on the subject will
be mailed you in a few days. Recommend
continuing present policy to fixing ratio
between Mexican and United States cur
rency. Recommend no legislation to in
terfere with either import or export OF
Mexican dollars. Recommend ultimately
taking up Spanish Filipino currency at APP
proXimate bullion value. Recommend that
MeXcans be not taken up at any time by
Philippine government, but their use dis
couraged by receiving them for government
dues only al rates below bullion value after
sufficient supply of new currency is on
hand to meet the wants of business. Sec
rotary of War approves all these recon-
mendations."

The princes face blazed crimson.
Colonel Won Altdorf," said he, will you
remind this-gentleman, to whom he IS
speaking?''
Won Altdorf rose at once to his feet and
saluted.
'Sir Gavin" he said coldly, my duty to
my master compels me to warn you that
your language is lacking in proper respect
His tone and manner shifted the rebuke
from Mackenzie and laid 1t upon the prince.
1t was quite plain where his sympathy
lay, and the prince dropped his eyes to the
floor.

Scotsman sternly; I'VE may as well save

The Prince of Novodnia raised his bent
head and tried to square his huddled Shout

THAT will do, SIR. You make yourself
quite clear; and 1t is quite clear also that

say you are right. but IL cannot bear any

| to another with a pitfful half eagerness, as
though he searched for ray of feeling, of
encouragement.

us who can swear that he would have done

others-why, little aghast that our plans

CHAPTER Xu-Continued.

Then there was knock at the door and
the Prince Karl of Novodnia entered. He
came into the room with certain lingering
hesitation, and glanced up at our faces
one by one, furtively under his brows, as If
he feared what his reception might be.
Indeed, he met no friendly glance nor
welcoming eye. Colonel Won Altdorf's face
was set and hard Mackenzie lowered upon
him gloomily. and 1 looked away. Only
Denis rose at once and spoke with his or
binary courtesy as II nothing had happened
Pray sit down. SIR" said he. ''Sir Gavin
has lust been telling us that you have had
an interview with the Princess Eleanor.
Our task, then, l take il, is nearly at an
end"
The prince dropped into a chair and his
eyes wandered DULY about the room, avoid
ing our faces. He seemed. in truth, little
like a man who has just claimed his wife
after months of separation. Indeed, he ap-
peared in the very depths of depression.
He sat for time in gloomy silence, that
no one of us offered to break, but at last
the hostility about him seemed to reach
his nerves rouse him to sullen defiance.
He looked up at Mackenzie and his face
flushed.
'You show small approval of what I've
done. SIR" said he.
The Scotsman turned upon him like an
angry lion.
"Approval?" he cried. towering above
lie sulky figure in the chair. Approval
say you? BY the Twin God, sir, It's no
thanks TO you that the Princess Eleanor Is
alive today You've done all we could to
make my treatment an the efforts of all
these gentlemen here of no avail. First We
come here with no manner O. warnin' an
though It's explained to we WI care what
we're tryin' TO do in the matter O. saving
yer wife's reason, We try to break in upon
her the first instant-through a silly jeal-
ousy worthy o Il child. Ye try, further
more, TO kill n gallant gentleman who's
givfn' his time to your service an hers. an
who spares your life, as. by heaven. I'd
ncvor ha' done. Then, lastly, full o. the
same silly jealousy. no doubt We make yer
way into my house an blurt out the whole
truth like an eediot, careless O. whether
