cashier, moved rapidly between the
rows Of desks which lined the walls Of

as she caught sight Of the tall. soldier.
ly figure, but her face turned white
aud tense az she saw how grave bls
expression was. Clearly something had
happened.
Others perhaps might not have no
ticed the change In his expression, but
TO Daisy every shade Of meaning was
familiar aud she knew that they must
be serious worries which took the smile
from Barkcrs 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.

Inent and had stood guard over her
ever since. He was always ready 10
give her help over the hard places.
aud OF late II had seemed to Daisy that
there was something more than mere
kindly Interest In the steady gray eyes
as he looked upon her.
Now hc came 10 stop before her
desk and bent over the book on which
she was working.
Miss Glbblns will look after your
book today" he said In a low voice.
II want to have your assistance in
counting the reserve. The bank ex-
anniner comes next week, and we want
to zee that things are all right"

Ashamed of the naht

An English gentleman rather plain
lively contides to the London Outlook
that he no sooner fiatters 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 a
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.
"Then how is it," she said keenly,
that we have such an enormous debt?
Do we really owe that terrible sum-"
She named it with great deliberation
and awe,
He admitted that the figures were
correct.
"Well, If that is so,' his wife said
firmly, 81 will never again admit
abroad that am an Englishwoman. |

floor above, was provided with table
and chair. Daisy took her seat be-
fore the piles of bills with which the
table was loaded.
I According TO the law, certain cash
reserve was required OF the bank, and
II was Daisy's 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 understandingly. Bar
ker turned away only to come back
and bend close to the curly brown
head.
Remember" he said impressiyely,
Il have selected you for the counting
because you are discreet and faithful"
This time the new cashier ascended
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 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 recounted later when
the work should be done. It 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 1t
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 little time things turned black
for Daisy. To Barker she owed her
advancement in the bank, He had vir-
tually saved her place Cor her by his

statement made by Francis Ferrier.
mayor of this city. today Ferrier has
prepared a report of the financial con-
dition of the town for presentation TO
the board of trustees. He declared that
a higher tax rate is the only solution
of the present difficulty.
According to Terriers figures S224.-
1851 will be needed for the operation
of the city government during the year
ending July 1, 1909. but the taxes which
will be collected will fall S3l.295.4l
short of this sum- Ferrier said:
Apparently there will be a deficit
of $31,295.41 at the end OF the fiscal
year July 1, 1909. The greater part
of the real property tax is not paid in
until the last of November, and this
town must run on credit for period
of five months. with an estimated ex-
penditure of 100000 for that period.
The total deficit by November will be-
$121. 1.295.41.
This dual government must be dOne
away with. County government is for
agricultural communities The only
remedy is the consolidation with other
cities or the formation OF a city and
county OF Berkeley"

WELLS ARE DUG, BUT
WATER DOES NOT FLOW
Lawns Go Dry and Roads Are
Deep With Dust as Result
of Dry Holes

SAN ANSELMO. Aug. 2s.-'water,
water -everywhere"-but not at San
Anselmo is the lay that is at present
popular in San Anselmo.
Three weeks ago the town trustees
essayed TO procure water from mother
earth. A big we'll was sunk opposite
the depot and a large tank constructed
10 hold the gallons of the fluid that
was to come from the well A new
gasoline engine was purchased and in
stalled 1t was set to work, but water
did not flow. Still hopeful, another
well was dug near Codonps vegetable
gardens. Again water did not flow.
Men are now at work deepening the
wells, but at present very little water
has materialized- Owing to the scare
1ty Of water the water companies insist
that water be used only for domestic
purposes, so the lawns and streets are
suffering accordingly.
AS there does not seem to be much
promise OF water from the wells al
ready dug, number of citizens are be-
ginning to agitate the construction of
artesian wells to solve the problem.
