a powerful adversary If the bank was
to remain a part of the nations finiS-
cial system.
The clash between the two strong
men was precipitated when Biddls
refused at Jacksons request to re-
move jeremiah Mason, a friend of
Daniel Webster, from the presidency
of the branch bank at Portsmouth, N
H. "Old Hickory's" ire was aroused
and his hatred of Biddle and the bank
assumed the most implacable form.
Finally he vetoed bills to recharter
the bank at the expiration of its life
in 1886. He withdrew the government
deposits and put them in state banks,
regardless of the distress in financial
and business circles, which his course
induced.
Biddle on his side was by nature
somewhat formal and ceremonious in
his manner, and made little vain of
his position because of the Difference
which had SO long been paid him on
account of his financial power, neither
at first nor afterward offered to abater
anything in the struggle.
While he overrated his power, he
was not to be outdone, and applied for
and secured a charter at Harrisburg
Thus, when the national grant ex-
pired, the doors continued to open
each morning as of yore under the
name of the Bank of the United States
of Pennsylvania.
So well did Biddle manage that he
weathered a storm of suits against
him and carried the bank through the
panic of 1887. When he retired from
the presidency in 1899, the banks
shares were selling at s111.
But trouble followed in 1S41, as a.
result of disturbances of that year,
and in 1S43 the shares were worth
only two dollars. The eventual fail
ure of the pet financial scheme affect
ed Biddle so keenly that he died in
1874, virtually of broken heart.
And now with the necessity of some
kind of financial legislation, one of
the pet schemes advocated by the cur
rency system reformers is this federal
bank idea, scheme for a great CEN
trail institution, something like the
Bank of England, through which the
affairs of the government may be
transacted and relief accorded the
money market in times of stress. 1t
is to be a sort of financial lifesaving
station.
Various lawmakers view the plan in
various ways. Some are enthusiastic
over 1t, some are willing to debate
the scheme, while others dismiss II
absolutely.

oLD-FAsHIoNED STYLES LIKED.
Odd Shapes in China Are In Favor
This Season.

Oldfashioned styles in china will
prevail this season, and to the unini-
tiated much of the new dinner ware
will appear cheap because the shapes
are odd rather than pretty.
For this innovation possibly the
craze for mission furniture in dining
rooms is responsible, for many of the
designs are in keeping with this style
Of furnishing.
As to the decoration on these-mis-
sion sets-small. plain-looking nose

There is a marked change In the
shapes Of the dishes, for the square

latter made in one piece, with the dish
1t rests upon, have returned to favor.

the covered ones and are decidedly

Remarkable Dress.

At ball in Bermuda a wonderful
dress was worn, and in the making of
it over 10000 stamps were used. Years
were spent in collecting the stamps,
and three weeks in the making of the
dress, which was of the finest muslin.
The woman called upon her friends to
help her, and the dress was covered
with the stamps of all nations. On the
front of the bodice was an eagle made
entirely of brown Columbian stamps.
Suspended from the birds talons was
a globe made of old blue revenue
stamps. On each side of the globe was
an American flag having stripes of red
and blue stamps. On the back of the
bodice was a collection of foreign
stamps in the form of a shield, in
the center of which was portrait cut
from old revenue stamps. A picture
hat covered with red and blue stamps
was worn with this remarkable dress.

CHAPTER vI.-contInued.

To avoid the curiosity of passing
boats, Edwin has anchored near the
Beaulieu side of the bay. Upon this
Barnes now directs his glass. Looking
1t over, the American thinks 1t will be
much more probably the location of
Lady Chartris. as 1t has number of
pretty villas, nestled among olive. al
mond and orange trees, a good many
Of them having water frontage and
several being possessed of boat land
ings, as he suggested. But on none of
them floats the flag of France, which
he had asked Lady Chartris to use as
a signal to locate her villa. He is al
most putting his glass aside prepara-
tory to journey on shore to deter
mine the location of Lady Chartris
when he suddenly exclaims: Hang
that Maud"
Maud" cries Edwin, who has been
busy in making the vessel shipshape.
rs she above the horizon?"
Very much" laughs Barnes. mo
tice that overgrown girl romping with
the big dog and waving the French
nag at him. That flag, imagine, was
to have been our signal" Then he in
spects the villa carefully and is pleased
to see that good solid brick wall of
sufficient height to exclude any but
pretty garden. Only on the water side
are Its lawns open to view. and this
portion Of the quiet bay appears at
present devoid of boats.
A light fight of stone steps that en-
ter the water and tasty little floating
wooden landing stage indicate the for
mer owner of the villa had been
aquatic.
That's just the place to put the
ladies on shore as soon as it's dark"
remarks Edwin. for the two young men
had concluded 1t would be best to
make their entry into Villefranche
very quietly.
every well, order the cutter away"
says Barnes. "and I'll get ashore and
see that everything's all right"
In a few minutes the American is at
the little landing stage. AS ne runs
up the stone steps, Maud's bright eyes
light upon him. The girl stops her

snuggles one of her rather soiled
hands into his.
"She's in the house, there. She's %
blessed easy, think I'm going to have
a step-papa." answers Miss Chartris,
gaily.
"Ah, Won Bulow." remarks Barnes,
sententiously.
Perhaps. But mamma has other
admirers now" returns Maud.
This news is not at all satisfactory
to Mr. Barnes. The more followers
Lady Chartris has lounging about, the
less will be the retirement of the villa.
"very well, run off and play. Maud :
I'll see you little later" he remarks,
gluInly.
They are entering the ample portico
OF the house.
