Why-But she forced back the unworthy thoughts with sudden elf-condemnation. Fred was her longtime friend, the brightest boy in the whole neighborhood, her generous competitor in the graduating class. for had he not dropped every thing for this position in the city he could easily have won class honors away from her And of course he had thought of this when he decided to leave the school so abruptly. All the rest was merely boyish enthusiasm Fred was everything, she believed, and hoped, below the surface. Even this going away to the city was an assut- ance of his unbounded ambition. of his being different from the contented boys of the neighborhood.
 So she smiled across the gate at him and forced the temporary doubt into confidence and pride in him and into gladness for them both.

The girls who boarded at his house did not look like that. They car ried parasols to protect their faces and wore gloves to protect their hands, and they did not laugh in the loud, hearty manner of the country girls. They were refined.

 fishing Company.
 The lilacs were in bloom, and above them, upon a limb of the big elm, an orfoIe had hung her pensile nest, and every day in the sunshine her trouba- dcur mate sang to her of love and com panionship and airy journeyings. From across the fields came the odor of freshly -plowed ground and the breezy calls of men to their horses. In the barnyard were the cacklings of hens and the peeping of many chickens, while from the pasture below came the lowing of cows to their calves. It was mid-May, and the wheat-heads were still green with their thriftiest grow ing. and the fence corners and road sides were cheery with their golden of- ferfngs of dandeIions.
 Elsie came to the kitchen door and looked out. The oriole was singing. and she ran lightly down the steps and round the house to the front yard, her sleeves rolled above her plump elbows and her cheeks flushed with the exer- ci9e of dish washing. Her eyes were bright with sympathy of the perfect day and the surroundings, and as she looked up at the oriole her lips parted in a ripping little song which she was to sing with her graduating class at the high school a few weeks later.
 But at the front gate the song drop per to a lower key, and then stopped altogether. as a gaily-dressed young man threw himself from his horse and came Jauntily toward her, with hat in hand.
 "Good morning. Elsie." he began. T take the 10 o'clock, but of course and 10 come round and say goodbye to you haven't much time, you know. But you'll write. won't you? And I'll write and tell you how I get along. Every thingslI be fine up there"
 ''Yes. I suppose so," Elsie answered. shortly; sand I'll write" Her eyes had grown softer at his approach. now they looked troubled. They always looked troubled lately after a few minutes talk with Fred. He was changing so. Ills people had taken summer board CTS. and Fred was aping their man. ners. He wore cheap kid gloves, and tried to initiate their way of walking and used as many of their phrases as he could in his conversation. Already he was becoming ashamed of country

Treasury Scare.

ontii he reads this James Stiliman, President of the City National Bank or New York. will probably not know Just how nearly his rock ribbed insti- tution came to upsetting the confidence Of the Treasury Department recently. The wires of modern finance and the sport of kings" became curiously entangled in the office of Secretary Shaw one day during the spring meeting at the Ben nings track.
 Secretary Shaw is ever closely in touch with financial affairs all over the coun- try. A large bunch of newspaper clip pings about money matters is laid on his desk every day. His man behind the shears Is a negro messenger who was oEce employed by the late Senator Han ma He is an industrious young man. who brides himself upon never overlook ing an item that the Secretary wants to or should see. He gave gasp of as- tonishment one morning when, while clipping The Herald. his eye caught the headline. City Bank Runs Far Below Form"
 "Golly," he exclaimed. "I reckon the Sec'e'ty sure ought to see that pretty quick"
 Out 1t came and away went the messen- ger down the corridor to Secretary Shaw's office. He crammed the clipping col umn long into the hand of a clerk.
 Better give that to the Secretary right away" he announced importantly. There's somethin' there he ought t see. That City Banks done got in a awful way"
 The clerk immediately had visions of great financial crash in New York and started toward the Secretary's offfce The Idea of such strong bank getting into trouble, however, caused him to consult the clipping again. Then he saw that the City Bank that had run far below form was not MT. Stillman's, but John E. Madden's colt, which had disappointed many bettors at the races the day pre- vious by starting six furhongs a hot odds on favorite and winding up about fourth or something else outside of the money.
