supporting pole, an inverted pipe be-

hideous looking man. He was a
withered, dried.up fellow, whose age
was not to be guessed, having a skin
as yellow as parchment, drawn in
tight to the bones like that Of a
mummy, his eyes deep sunken like

hair, although about his lean throat
there was copious fringe of iron-gray
beard, untrimmed and scraggy. Down

in its expression, yet constantly both
piquant and innocent; a perfect wealth
Of hair, a pair of serious eyes hiding
mysteries within their depths, and lips
which seem made TO kiss. Tell me. is
not this a fairly drawn portrait OF
your Miss Spencer"
The minister gripped his hands ner-
vously together. Your description is
not unjust; indeed, it is quite accurate
from q mere outer point of view, yet
beneath her vivacious manner I have
found her thoughtful, and possessed of
deep spiritual yearnings. In the east
she was a communicate of the Episco-
pal church
Brant did not answer him at once.
He was studying the minister's down
cast face; but when the latter finally
turned to depart, he inquired, DO you
expect to attend the reception to-mor-

WynkoOp stammered slightly. Il
could hardly refuse under the circum-
stances; the committee sent me an
especially urgent invitation, and | I'M

no reason why you need hesitate to at

procure me an invitation"
Did she tell you about it,"
Well, she delicately limited at it,
and, you know, things are pretty slow
here in a social way. She merely sug-
gested that might possibly meet her
again there"
of course; it is given in her
honor"
SO l understood although she
sought to deceive me into the belief
that she was not the lady. We met
purely by accident, you understand,
and ! am DESTROYS of a more formal
preeentation."
The minister drew in his breath
sharply, but the clasp of his extended
hand was not devoid of warmth. Il
will have a card of invitation sent you
at the camp. The committee will be
very glad of your presence; only l
warn you frankly regarding the lady,
that competition will be strong"
"Oh, so far as that is concerned |
have not yet entered the running"
laughed Brant, in affected careless
ness, although l must confess my
sporting proclivities are somewhat
aroused"
He watched the minister walking
rapidly away, a short, erect figure, APP

The name had long been a familiar

Brant hesitated. Should he attempt

 New York, June 8.-The Financier says today:
 The most notable feature of last weeks official statement of the New York Asso- ciated Banks was the reduction of sur plus reserve by about one-half. Such re- duction was not at all surprising, consid- ering the fact that the withdrawals of gold for shipment to Paris, were more than $7O00,000 for the week; indeed, it would have been remarkable if the ex- hibit had failed to record this average loss through exports. The cash decrease was further affected by unusually large customs payments through the banks.
 The movements of gold to Paris and customs receipts by the treasury quite fully accounted for the loss to the banks of $9, ,065, 200 cash for the interbank changes and contributed only a small gain as an offset to the loss Deposits decreased s9,- O53 1OO which amount was greater by one and one-half millions than the sum of the decrease in cash. leks thA Ea-
