Ashamed of the Debt

An English gentleman rather plain
lively confides to the London Outlook
that he no sooner flatterS himself that
he has turned his otherwise perfectly
satisfactory wife into something ap-
preaching an economist than he finds
out that he has done nothing of the
kind
He had. or he so believed, firmly i'm
planted in her mind the fact that Eng
land has the greatest revenue ever
known, when she learned. through
lecturer at her club, the figures of the
national debt
John" she said on her return.
didn't you tell me that England has
the greatest revenue ever known?"
Yes" he said
"Thpn how is it." she said keenly.
that we have such an enormous debt?
Do we really owe that terrible sumY
She named it with great deliberation
and awe.
He admitted that the figures were
correct
"Well if that is So" his wife said
firmly. II will never again admit
abroad that am an Englishwoman.

floor above. was provided with a table
and Il chair Daisy took her seat be-
fore the piles of bills with which the
table was loaded.
According to the law, a certain cash
reserve was required of the bank, and
it was Daisys task to count the pack
ages of bills and make certain that the
contents agreed with the figures on the
paper bands. Barker leaned across the
table.
Mike will take these away and
bring you more when you are ready"
he said. You know how to check
them on the slips
Daisy nodded Understandings Bar
ker turned away only to come back
and bend close to the curly brown
head.
2" Remember" he said imprcSsively.
81 have selected you for the counting
because you are discreet and faithful"
This time the new cashier assembled
the stairs, and Daisy's nimble fingers
made quick work of the bills They
were for the greater part fifty dollar
notes in packages of a hundred each.
and Daisy dropped them into the box
at her side as she verified the count.
The porter brought her a fresh sup
ply of higher denominations. and of
these she took more careful count
Several of the packages were short one
or two bills. and these were for 500
and $500 each. The packages were
tossed aside to be recOuuted later when
the work should be done 1t might be
that some error had been made. and
other packages might contain a bill or
two in excess of their supposed num-
Der.
But package after package went to
swell the pile on the rough deal table,
and there were none to balance the
shortage. Barker's words flashed
through Daisy's brain She was to be
discreet and faithful!
Only two weeks back Barker had
been promoted to be cashier. Before
then he had been the assistant, and it
was he who had last counted and
packaged the reserves. Now that he was
made cashier in the place of Newton
Bryan the count had to be made again
because the bank examiner was ex
pected The shortage would become
known unless she was discreet and
faithful!
For a little time things turned black
for Daisy. TO Barker she owed her
advancement in the bank. He had yir-
tually saved her place for her by his
kindly advice when she had first taken
a position, and during the entire two
years she had been with the bank be

gratitude. He had been kind to all the

be serious worries which took the smile
from Barker's eyes and made still
more grave the lines about the mouth.
Ever since she had been in the
bank Daisy had made Barker her ideal.
1t was he who had indicted her into
the mysteries of the savings depart

ever since. He was always ready to
give her a help over the hard places.

At O'Clock in the evening the dove
of peace had settled down over the
Dolby family. The deacon had removed
his shoes and was reading his country
paper, and Mrs. Dolby was cutting up
one of his old coats into carpet rags
There had been silence for ten min

To do this 1t will be necessary that those who lave heretofore entertained the idea that is was all up with the town, 10 abandon the idea and to do their share toward the forward movement. If everybody will take hold and help push, the car of progress will run rap idly ard smoothly.

 Douglas is not dead by any means. The houses are well filled with tenants and tbereis a constant demand for more and especially for furnished apartments for housekeeping purposes. While a general era of had times is on in the states, Douglas island Is not affected. Wages here are just the same as ever, and the cost of living is becoming less.
