 In general, however she was incapable of making even rudmentary reflection her situation. She had told herself at first that just for she would let herself go; and now she realized with startled quckehing of her blood that she had gone far beyond her control. She still laughed a great deal, but it generally excited unsteady mirth. Once in while it seemed to her that Morti mers answering laugh had something of the same agitation in it, and as the time for his departure drew near, she grew and more of it. It comforted her scared confusion to know that he perturbed and his last afternoon, they driving together it steadied her to feel his so electrically throbbing.

 They raced each other home and arrived flushed and laughing. "I haven't had such jolly time in years" Mortimer told her at luncheon.

 After luncheon their hostess sent them to drive to the next village errand, and here Elizabeth's courage failed little She had enjoyed the morning she would have enjoyed rattling farce at theatre but she had no such passion for golf for horses and besides, Mortimer played excellent golf and he did not drive we'll He said frankly that he didn't know much about it, but he undertook with ready confidence to teach her-her!

He REVEALS
SECRETS OF
WALL STREET

New York, Nov. 4.-Under q gentle
mans agreement the Wall street
banks are daily in the habit of loaning
to stock exchange brokers the moneys
intrusted to their care by depositors,
with no security save the Integrity
Of the broker and an arrangement
whereby the latter's safe might be
rified at any moment by the bank Of
f1cials to make good the loans ire
spective of the claims of other credit
ors. ..
These facts were brought out In the
continuation Of the trial brought by
the trustee in bankruptcy for j. M.
Fiske & Co. against the Mechanics and
Metals National bank.
Fol the first time in Wall street his
tory this secret Of the manner in which
Wall street brokers obtain huge loans
with no collateral was divulged under
oath by Vice President Frank o. Roe
of the Mechanics and Metals bank, be-
fore Referee Charles f. Brown, who is
taking testimony in the suit brought to
compel the bank to disgorge securities,
or the face value thereof, obtained
from the safe of ]. M. Fiske & Co.
within forty minutes Of the firms fail
| ure.
Mr.. Roe explained this was the Wall
street custom and that the agreement
to lend money to j. NJ. Fiske & Co.
was similar to the agreement in force
between all the Wall street banks and
stock brokerage houses.
'Unless some sort of an agreement
was reached between banker and
broker, such as described, Wall street
business would be at a standstill," he
said.
1t was admitted by Roe that the
agreement between his bank and j. NJ.
Fiske & Co, was entered into in No
vember, 1901. Under its terms the
bank lent money to the firm upon its
written or telephone request to the ex-
standing being that the brokerage
house would balance the account at
| the close of each days business.
Absolutely no collateral was put up
to safeguard these loans.
"We relied on the integrity of our
customers" said Mr.. Roe. son the
morning of Jan. 10 last j. NJ. Flske &
Co.'S balance with us was $36,239.47.
W. then received a request to loan
them 100000. That amount was
placed to their credit. Checks. were
| drawn against this loan and were GER
titled to the extent of $276,G97.G7. No
| collateral was in possession of the bank
to safeguard this certitication.
"On the day previous the bank had
loaned j. NJ. Fiske & Co. 100000 I'M
| der similar circumstances, and the
loans had been duly covered" said Mr..
Roe.

FOLKS PLATFORM.

Whether Former Governor Folk of
Missouri shall be nominated for
president or not, nearly all democrats
and many republicans ought to be
able to agree on the principles he an
.nounees as those that would guide
him IL he should be elected to that
office. The doctrine of equal rights,
he says, SHOULD be made a living, vi
tai controlling force in the govern
ment. The democratic party should
insist upon stamping out graft and
corruption from every department of
government; the eradication of all
special favors, including bounties, sub
sides and tariff for any purpose
other than revenue"
He also spoke of the need of the
honest, sincere enforcement of laws
anu the regulation of public utility
corporations on a reasonable basis,
and In favor OF the restriction of
American territory to the Western
hemisphere, extension of trade by re-
moving restrictions on commerce, an
income tax, election of senators by di-
rect vote, and "unrelentlng opposition
to the domination in public affairs of
special interests" H4ue
The great issue, he said, is, "Shall
there be government by privilege for
a class, or government by the people
for all?" On this there is conflict
within the parties. The republican
party is dominated by special inter-
ests. The democratic party should be
careful to see that its Aldriches and
Cannons do not dominate It,
Most republicans and some demo-
crats would not agree with tariff for
revenue only; some democrats as we'll
as republicans would oppose ultimate
evacuation OF the Philippines; but on
these as we'll as other questions Mr..
Folk is right. There is nothing new
in his platform, but he has been pret.
ty we'll tested, and proved his faith
by his works He is a respectable
figure as Democratic candidate for
president. Portland (Ore.) Journal

REPUBLICANS AND NEGROES.

William T. Vernon, the negro regis.
ter OF the treasury, Is to have his
political head chopped OFF by Presi-
dent Taft. the Lord High Executioner
Of the republican party. There is no
charge that Vernon has not attended
to his duties. but he is from Kansas,
and as his influence proved worthless
in that state to stem the lnsurgent
tide he is TO be politically decapitated,
and j. C. Napier. negro of Nash
vile, Tenn, Is to be installed In his
place. The appointment Of Napier Is
expected to bring the Tennessee ne
groes back to their original republican
allegiance. From this may be ad-
Quoted that the republican use Of the
negro is what can be got out Of him
politically. The faithful service Of
Vernon will not save his political
head; nor will like service of those
other negroes who have been appoint
ed 10 federal Offices, unless they can
show results at the primaries and at
elections that suit the republican lead
ers who use them for their own ag-
grandizement.
