Looking Forward.

One of the most notable features
in many lines of trade and industry
as the year draws to a close is the
air of conservative cheerfulness in
evidence. While there is testimony
to this having a solid basis in actual
improvement already registered, it is
plain that some of it has had its rise
in the feeling that there have been
many worse years in the country's past
history, and in the very apparent be-
lief that some of the years doubtful
questions have been settled. 1t may
be well, however, to call attention to
few cautionary signals that are visi-
BILE. The coming year will in all prob
ability witness an actively fought If
not, indeed, very exciting presiden-
tial campaign, efforts by both the
party in power and that in opposition
to play politics and incidentally tinker
with the tariff, and II no doubt will
see continued efforts to put the anti
trust act to further use in a legal
way. Then, too, present and probably
future high prices for food will con-
stitute a bar to fullest buying of the
secondary necessaries of life. Finally,
the effects upon consumption of short
ened agricultural yields, or, as at the
south, of much reduced financial crop
returns, are yet to be reckoned with,
On the other hand, it is probably true
that under existing conditions neither
a presidential election nor a prospect
of tariff revision creates the feeling of
unsettlement that it formerly did. Fur
thermore, the basic facts can not be
obscured that stocks OF goods are
down to hard pan; that any change
after two years of repression and Of
growing up to the country's produc-
tive capacity is likely to be in the
direction of expansion; that money Is
and promises to be reasonably easy,
thus inviting new investment, and that
new crop prospects in the spring are a
source of possible stimulation. 1t has
already been found in several indus
tries that given right prices an excel
lent trade is possible of development.

shown by the people at large augurs
well for safe methods of trade eXpan-

NO wonder Paul SAKE had assured the
man in prison so confidently that he had
found means TO silence Betty's tongue
He held the price of her silence in his
own hand-the public branding of her
father as d forger ana a thief! That was
big price-but not one that alone would
have purchased the silence which in her
own eyes at least meant the death of
the man she loved. Paul SAKE had more
skilful weapons than that in his armory
He had shown her how subtly all the
threads were interviewer by which a
charge of conspiracy could be brought
against them all--against her father, who
stood self condemned against Mrs. Bar
rington whose desperate need for money
would be against Rimington who
had every reason to wish to try to save
the honor Of the father of the woman he
was TO marry.
Among them all. not one argument
strong enough to convince or silence an
ordinary woman of the world-yet very
potent with Betty of the child's heart.
Betty who had been brought up TO be-
lieve in a FOOLS paradise of a world,
whom even that episode of Ediths secret
marriage and betrayal had not Weakened
from her child's dreams.
"If you decide to speak. Miss Betty, you
