yours" Venables smiled grimly.
You would not have allowed your
friendship for this man Silva"
Friendship" Stevens said con-
temptuously. What is friendship
where money is concerned? And,
| after all Silva was no real pal of
mine. Precious little use he was
to me-
ooh, you'll find us useful enough
! if you play your card correctly"
Venables said. You will see the
advantage of saying nothing to this
Italian about our visit here tonight
| Here is five-pound note, and if |
| want you again, as is exceedingly
probable, I will write to you and
tell you where to meet me. | don't
think we need detain you any more
| at present
Then you don't want to know
anything about Fitzjohn square?"
| Stevens asked. 81 can tell you a
| thing or two
| 81 think that will keep for the
present" said Lance. Good night,
and remember that silence is your
| policy.
Stevens grinned and nodded as
he tucked the five-pound note into
his waistcoat pocket.
THAT was a brilliant inspiration
| of yours Venables said, presently.
Now what on earth put it into
| your head to ask if that man Waldo
| had any connection with the stolen
picture?'
| Venables listened carefully to
Walters extraordinary story of
the strange photograph, and of the
mysterious attack on Lord Raven
! spur in his studio, and the subse-
| quent discovery of the yellow hand
bill.
This looks like vendetta"
| Venables said. you may depend
upon it that Miss Vera Rayne is
! the unconscious cause of all this
mischief. OF course, | am tread
ing on delicate ground now. but I
suppose it is just possible that Miss
Rayne may be Lord Ravenspur's
daughter. We know that Raven
spur used to spend great part OF
his time in Corsica, and everybody
| is aware of the fact that love max
ing out there is dangerous bust
ness. 1t looks very much to me as
if this man Waldo was working out
a plan of revenge. either on his
own behalf Or on behalf Of some
noble family, hailing from that
picturesque corner of Europe. See
| how anxious your uncle is to keep
everything out of the hands of the
police. | feel quite sure now that
| the death of Louis Delahay is all
part of the same drama. 1t would
not be bad plan to mention Luigi
| Silvas name to your uncle and ask
him if he has ever heard of the
man before"
THAT is a good idea" Walter
exclaimed. "I'll ask my uncle the
question before | go to bed to-

NATIONAL BANK NOTES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. G.
About a quarter of the total circu-
lation in the United States is made
up of what is known as bank notes.
Unlike the gold or silver certifi-
Gates, the bank note does not call
for any specific metal coin. Nor
does it, slike the United State
note, consist of a direct promise by
the United States government to
pay the bearer a certain sum. The
latter. however, is what it amounts
to in practice Back of the $780,
100000 worth of national bank
notes in circulation there is a
promise of Uncle Sam that they
shall be redeemed if necessary in
legal coin of the realm. Without
this backing. few bank notes
would circulate at their face value.
The theory of the bank note is
this. This First National bank
say. for illustration, of Chicago
becomes possessed of gold coin or
bullion to the value of $4,000. The
United States government wants
this gold to build a Panama canal
or conduct a war. and borrows it.
1t borrows the money by selling its
bonds to the banker. The interest
which the government pays on the
bonds is small one and the bank
feels some hardship in being de-
prived of this $4,000 in gold which
in ordinary times it would be able
TO lend TO business men in Chica-
In. .,
or per cent.
So the government says. in eff
feet, TO the bank: Deposit with
me as security the bonds | have
sold you. and | will permit you to
print paper money to the value of
the amount of gold which you have
lent to me. and to put this money
into circulation among your regu-
lar customers. | will stand back
OF that circulation and assure your

American products. Foreign opposition may laugh quietly at the folly of the American eagle In fouling it's own nest, but 1t will use the weapon thus given to create prejudice against American oysters, which already have ,o carry a heavy import duty into Canada.
 Il. Even in the few cases where some young NJ.

Healy was consult ed about getting a county commission ership for Mr. Steele and he said he would get the place for him for $1 200. They objected that the/fgure was a pretty stiff one and asked for, several days to consider the subject and the request was granted.
 Mir Healey on the other hand denied the story positively and called on the various officials there to testify that he had never discussed MT. Steele as a possibility in his arrangements as to who should hold. the office.

RTIyING LAND IN coREA.

Land buying in Corea is a process which calls for both time and patience A Japanese investigator who has been making inquiries on the subject has found that the price at which land may be procured differs greatly with the skill of the purchaser. Any nasty attempt to buy hurts the feeling of the owner and creates opposition.
 The best plan is to select the dis trict on which ones fancy rests and either settle quietly down there or send an agent to do so instead, letting it be known, in a general sort of way, that one is disposed to buy. Then the Coreans, who class transactions in land in the same category with the

Mayor Brown of Lincoln, who was re-
nominated Thursday on the democratic
ticket, was a visitor in the city hall sat
urday morning, when he called on Mayor
Dahlrnan and other city officials. Mayor
Brown said he was hopeful of reelection.
The Lincoln mayor was looking up some
statistics on Omaha electric light and water
rates He pointed with pride to the fact
that under municipal ownership in Lincoln
arc lamps cost So. 20 each, while the Omaha
contract rate under private ownership is

the water plant had brought about a rate
of Is cents per thousand gallons and pays

claimed Mayor Brown.
Mayor Brown does not think there will be

All but two of the saloons closed. The

were arrested and the cases finally taken to
the supreme court. with the result that a
decision was rendered, holding the licenses

usual, but It is possible that the number

KISS TO PAY OFF HER DEBT
Woman Gives OscuIatOry Payment
Suggested by Creditor who
Sues Even Then.

The case Of Nichalaus Prizes and Eliza
beth Bolz to recover a loan of $185 was
tried in Judge Altstadts court Friday
evening and judgment was finally rendered
for the plaintiff.
Mrs. Bolz, who is about so years old, and
the plaintiff about So, did not deny the debt
as originally. but contended that the sum
Of $40 had been paid by a kiss.
When the loan was made, a year or two
ago, the defendant asked when she should
be expected to repay it, and, according to
her statement, the plaintiff said: "OhJ
never mind about that; just give me kiss
and that will settle it," The kiss was
given and Mrs Bolz insists that her I'M
Outstanding was that the debt was dis
charged. She borrowed another $25 later
and was willing to pay that amount, but
not the first
Judge Altstadt decided in favor of the
plaintiff for the whole amount and sug-
gested that about the only compromise he
knew of was that the plaintiff would have
to return the kiss. Mrs. Bolz however,
objects TO this sort of a compromise, and
so the matter stands. The judge did not
say whether the osculatory part Of the
contract had been performed and can
celled.
