Where the Millions Are Earned.

+ #
Two OF the great national banks Of
the country have assets amounting to
$250,000,0O0, which are the result of
the steady flow Of capital to the great
financial centers. In little over ten
years the deposits Of the banks men
toned have increased ten times, about,
and there are other institutions in the
country which make almost an equal
showing. The vast deposits of the
great banks reach their vaults in large
Jumps, but originally the wealth is
picked dollar by dollar in the regions
where it is earned and put by for a
rainy day, so TO speak. Private say
ings drift ultimately into the private,
national and savings banks and are
swallowed up in the flood Of gold
which streams steadily on the financial
centers, to the trust companies and
banks which finance the mammoth
corporations.
Cities Haunt their millions because
they fatten upon the dollars won by
hard toll and much stinting of life
throughout the whole land. If the
masses should quit toiling and saving
the bank vaults would go lean and high
fnanciers be out of job.

Alida's dress gllmmering like a phan-

leave the women and children in this
desolate place. The night was far
spent. To reach the roundup in season
he could at best snatch couple of
hours sleep and be again in the saddle
while the stars still shone. His saddle
and saddle blanket were enough for
him. The broad canopy Of heaven, the
bosom Of mother earth, had given him
sound, dreamless sleep these many
years. He babe the women good night
and made his bed where the canyon
gave entrance to the valley. But sleep
was slow to come. Now, in that vague,
uncertain world where we fall through
oceans Of space, and the waking is the
dream, the dream the waking, Peter

The Reign of American Fiction.

Not very long ago the American nov
Ell was pushed aside by imported fic-
ton, and a native writer had but lit
tie chance to appear in the lists of
American publishers. Now the native
story teller may be said to dominate
in the home market If the reader
finds that the American book is some
times inferior in quality to the best of
the imported fiction the fact is not so
discreditable to the native author as it
may seem.
American publishers who issue nov
els by foreign authors are driven by
the force of native competition to seek
works of a high quality. Formerly
the question of literary merit was not
important. Name was everything.
In forging his way to the front the
American author has raised the stand
ard Of taste, and only the better class
of foreign work can secure an Ameri-
can audience

The Russian Peasants RELIGION.

The Russian Peasants Religion.
Outside of Russia the opinion is gen.
eral that the peasants of that land are
very religious. This view was not
shared by the late Russian novelist
and political writer Sergius Stepniak,
whose study of the Russian peasantry
has recently been published in a new
edition. In support of his own thesis
that the religious condition of the peas
ant is very low Stepniak quotes the
most prominent of Russian historians,
who say that the peasants of today, like
their forefathers of the seventeenth
century, are remarkable for state
of such complete religious indifference
as to be without parallel in the an
nails Of Christian nations" Gods
name is on every lip, and the will and
biddings of the Almighty are constantly
cited as bases Of the code Of life. New
ertheless, Stepniak insists, the social
philosophy Of the peasantry is based
on system Of pure ethics, with no ad-
mixture of theology. The author main.
tains that after eight centuries of Of
fetal Christianity the bulk of the popu-
lation of Russia today has but a every
faint conception of the framework up
on which the religion to which they
officially belong is based" To quote
further:
The whole bearing Of the Christian
theological system seems to be lost upon
the people. God the Father and God the
Son are two totally distinct persons.
standing in the perfectly concrete relation
toward one another OF a father on the
one hand and a son upon the other. The
person of the son is represented with
great sympathy and uniform considera-
ton. He is the champion of the people,
always siding with the poor rnouiik
against his rich neighbor, but we should
look in vain for any trace of genuine re-
llglous inspiration in the treatment of
this figure. There is nothing which re-
veals the touch of living image upon
a living SOUL He is introduced rather as
an onlooker in stories about Others to
illustrate popular views on certain points
and to solve certain problems There is
as little life in him or passion about him
as IN a secondary character introduced
for the purpose of giving utterance to
moral views in some imaginary story. AS
to the person of God the Father, he ap-
pears in the popular legends very vaguely
delineated as hard taskmaster and
whenever introduced by the popular muse
is treated with a certain amount of i'll
feeling and hostility.
The orthodox clergy, as body, the
author states, have no moral influence
over the masses and enjoy no conf
dence among them, but in founding
dissenting sects the peasantry exhibit
great intellectual activity joined with
unlimited moral energy. With the
awakening Of popular intelligence
Stepniak sees hope of an awakening
of the 'fervent genius CT RELIGION"

above the mountain tops.
CHAPTER XI.

THE stars were still shining when
Peter Hamilton looked at his
watch next morning, but he
4 sternly fought the temptation to
lie another two minutes by remember
ing the days work before him, and
went in search Of the horse that he had
not picketed overnight. as the beast re-
Quired a full belly after the hard
nights ride he had given him. Peter
had rolled out of his blankets with
keen anticipatory relish for the day
ahead. It was we'll, he knew, that
there was ample work OF a definite
nature for Peter the COW punche-.; as
for Peter the man, he was singularly
at sea. Had Judith Rodney been bis
desert comrade all these cheerful years
for him to get his first belated insight
into the real Judith only few little
hours back? Or was it, he wondered,
her seeming Inconsistencies Of him as
she rode brave and sorrowful through
the night to avert, if might be, her
brothers death-at all events, to COM
fort and inspirit the frightened woman

ly tinged the friendship he had so long
felt for her? Many We're the questions
that Peter vaguely put to himself as
he started out for his long day in the
saddle, and pone of them he answered.
Indeed, he could not satisfactorily ex-
plain to himself why he should think
Of Judith at all in this way. Surely it
was strange thing that he should dis
cover himself in sentimental dream
Of Judith!
For it was in such dreams that !.ath-
crime Colebrooke had figured ever since
Peter could remember. For years, in
deed and Judith knew tt he had
stood, tame and tractable, waiting for
Chloe to throw her dainty lariat But
Chloe had intimated that her graceful
fingers were engaged with the ink pot
and her head with schemes for further
sonneting.

faced and anxious over the long alb
sence Of her husband, but conscien-
tiously hospitable nevertheless. Peter
noticed that Judith made a gallant
pretense Of eating, crumbling her bread
and talking the meanwhile. The pale
wife, who had little to say at the best
Of times, was put to the test to say
anything at ALL But withal their in
tent was SO genuinely hospitable that
Peter himself could not speak with
the pity of it. Accustomed as he was
to the roughness of these frontier
cabins, never had he seen human
habitation so desolate as this. The
mud plaster had fallen away from be-
tween the logs, showing cross sections
Of the melancholy prospect.
An atmosphere Of tragedy brooded
over the place. Whether from it's long
period Of emptiness OF from the vague
ly limited murder Of the woman who
had died there Or whether it took it's
character from the prevailing desola-
ton the cabin in the valley was an I'M
lovely thing. Nor did the cleanliness,
the conscientious making the best Of
things soften the woeful aspect Of the
place. Rather was the appeal the
more poignant to the seeing eye as the
brave makeshift of the self respecting
poor strikes deeper than the beggar's
whine. The house was bare but for
the few things that Aida could take in
the wagon in which they made their
fight. And all through the pinch Of
poverty and grinning emptiness there
was visible the woman touch, the brave
making the best Of nothing, the pitiful
prepare ton for the coming Of the man.
The curtain was drawn aside that the
lamp might shed it's beam further on
the way Of the traveller who came not
There was but one other lig' 1T in the
place, bit of candle. Aida apologized
for the poor light by which they must
eat, but she did not offer to take the
lamp from the window.
Peter was no longer Sir Knight Of
the Joyous Heart as he watched the
little white faced woman, who went so
often to the door to look toward the
road that entered the valley that she
was no longer aware of what she did,
He saw her wide eyes full Of fear, the
bow Of the mouth strained taut with
anxiety, her unconscious fear of him
as one of the alien faction and withal
her concern for his comfort Judith's
control was far greater: but, though
she hid it slzillfully, he knew the sor-
row that consumed her.
There was a cry from the room be-
You'd, and Judith, snatching up the can
die, went in to the children. All three
Of them were sleeping crossways in
one bed, their small, round arms and
legs striking out through the land of
dreams as swimmers breasting the
waves. She gave little cry of delight
and appreciation and called Peter to
look. Little Jim, who had cried in
some passing fear, sat up sleepily. He
stretched out his small arms to Peter,
whom he had never seen before. Peter
took him, and again he settled to sleep.
The warm, small body, giving itself
with perfect confidence, strongly af-
fected Peters heightened susceptible
