Colonel Harris was in the sitting
room, waiting for his daughters return.
The maid had told him that her mis-

Personally, he saw no issue to the
terrible tangle. and his heart ached for
her, as much as 1t did for Luke.
He found himself quite unable to sit
at the club. Luke de Mountford's
name was in every mans mouth. The
obsession was uncomfortable, the count

lips WAS positively nerve-racking. Col

BANKS TO CONTINUE
PAYING INTEREST
Rumors Are Denied that Banks Will
Charge for Carrying Small
Accounts.

Bsnkers. both as individuals and as
members of the District Of Columbia
BankerS Association. yesterday denied q
rumor that the banks OF the District
would cease to pay interest on checking
accounts. and would charge monthly fees
for handling accounts Of less than 800.
II. H. Mckee. of the National Capital
Bank. president of the Bankers Asso-
citation. said last night that he had not
heard OF such q plan. and did not believe
there could be any concerted action upon
II by the Bankers Association.
Other bankers declared that the rumor
was the frst news they had had OF such
a plan. To stop interest on checking
accounts would be to lose many OF the
accounts. II was stated. Bankers as
serted. too. that they had not heard of
the plan being proposed to the Bankers
Association
Banks both In the District and else
where have considered the feasibility OF
making nominal charges for handling ac-
counts so small that the revenue the
banks derive from them does not pay for
the cost Of handling them.
That a general practice Of charging
appreciable fees for handling accounts
would be adopted In the District is re-
garded as highly improbable.
