100000 IN FOREIGN MONEY ORDERS

has often been said that America held up before
the starving poor of Europe land flowing with milk
and honey Just often it has been argued that immi-
grants coming to this country found their golden dreams
rudey and quickly shattered that the fierce struggle of
competition and the increased cost of living made their
condition, after all, little better than it was at home
But when the big steamship Oceanic sailed from New
York few days ago she carried S51O7 money orders,
which transmitted by that ship on that single voyage
$1192432.
Almost all of it money made by immigrants and
sent home by them for banking for gifts
More than $4,000 orders went to Germany, 2OOO to
Norway, 5000 to Italy 1880 to Russia, nearly 1000
to Austria $500 to Hungary, and more than 10000 to
Great Britain
Not less significant is the total record for the past two
weeks during which time II transatlantic steamships
have carried 3954 foreign money ORDERS representing
1886 1863 This is increase the same period in
1906 of than $4,000 money orders and of than
$l,000O00 in money
There can be more striking proof of what America
has to offer to the thrifty and industrious alien; but
where does the country profit from such drain?

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

Did you hear of the of-but no. won't men
ton the girls name. That part of it doesn't make any
difference
But there was girl, and she did one of the wrong
things of which the law takes notice She tried and
she was found guilty, and she went to jail
Before the time for her release, of the
good-hearted Of the town determined that she
should be given the opportunity to start again 1t
wasn't easy, but they found her place in big Office.
They very happy it, and the girl was happy,
too. Nobody knew how bitterly she had repented She
thought she had expated her wrongdong. Those days
in the court those awful days in the JAIL those ter
rble long nights inside of prison walls Well, they

ished; she would begin again.
Isn't that fair? Isn't that the least that could

start again?
But they wouldn't
There lot of talk, and lot of Mortified faces
along the halls of the big office building. Was that girl
coming there to work with them to be them, to be
in the room to breathe the air, to drag her
skirts through the door where honest people enter
ed people who good and upright, and who-thank
God!-had never served jail sentences, and who had
never been caught up with in anything that bad and
wickeds
So the manager wrote the kind-hearted women and
said he sorry but that circumstances seemed to make
it wiser that and he thought perhaps he could
fix it in Chicago where nobody knew the young
And yet, before this particular up, there
probably wasn't of those protesting employees who
wouldn't have told you how glad they would be to
unfortunate woman reclaimed. 1t would have fired the
chvalry of the men, and of the girls would very
likely have cried.
But this, you see, in the abstract.

CHAPTER XIV
Count LlaviO'S Diary

In the dining room for the last
hour or two Walter had been seat
ed, deeply engrossed in the slim
parchment-covered volume which
had been sent him by Countess
Flavio at the urgent request of her
dying servant.
Time was going on, and still
Walter did not look up from the
book. 1t was long past 2 before
he finished. Then, with firm
step and a determined air he went
up to the little library where Lord
Ravenspur was busy writing let
terS. .
Il want you to look at this,
Walter said quietly. at is a diary
written by your late friend Count
Flavio, whose handwriting yor
will, of course, recognize. Silva
told me some time ago that he hat
in his possession documentary evi
dence which would prove that his
mistress was an injured woman
and his master a scoundret. But
that will be for you to Judge. Be
fore we go any further, I wan
your assurance that this is YOU
dead friends own handwriting"
Lord Ravenspur turned over the
leaves of the manuscript.
81 am not going to contest the
point" he said at last. Beyond
question. this is my unfortunate
