you may have the Mona ana welcome.
We can go out again after you get
back"
and have Bostwicke escape us while
we are out?" asked the young man.
''No, 10. Mr. Herman; the fishing must
wait. Ny theory is this: Bostwicke's
hope is one Of the South American
ports, probably Paramaribo. There he
could Ice in close touch with the in
terror, where he probably has friends
and where can be found 4 stirring fu-
ture fer 4 man of enterprise and capt

"Then you know as much as l do.
But Why not run down to Miami? It
wouldn't delay you any. I think, and

Tierman's gaze left him and wan

upon the trunk and made some COM

man answered shortly and with a
covert side glance Of inquiry. But a

scrutiny had been reassuring, he open

an owner could not be found. and the

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided TO make no radical changes in
the new Insurance law. II was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits to policyholders. and that II
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. II is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder. while the benefits
TO present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze OF the big companies and the eI-
cessive cost OF securing new business
was the most eNtravagant evil OF the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost OF new business has
already been greatly reduced. along
with other economies
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society In Its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddlIng with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving Of over $4,000. 900 In expenses.
besides an increase in the income
from the Socicty's assets amounting
TO as much more. The ratios OF the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1926 In 1904. 1885 In
1905. and only l4.iseo In 1906. The
dividends paid TO Equitable policy.
holders in 1906 amounted to S7.2s9. 734.
which was an increase OF more than
90 over 1905.
While the Equitable made n better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as II stands.
