surveyed the canon, that she went

mountains an avoid the big bend. I've
got no reason to suspicion that she
didn't go Were she said
Nevertheless, said Maitland, 1T
is barely possible that she may have
changed her mind and gone up the
canon"
yep, the female mind does often
change unexpected like" returned the
other, "but w'ether she went up or
down, the only place for us to look,

she got out of the canon and is above
US, nacherly she'd follow it down yere
an we'd a seed her by this time. II
she didn't git out Of the canon, why,
all that's left Of her is bound to be
down stream"
Maitland nodded. He understood.
Wed better 60 down, then" con-
tinued Kirkby, whose reasoning was
fawless except that he made no al
lowance for the human-divine interpo-
sition that had been Enid Maitland's
salvation, IAN If we don't find no
trace Of her down stream, we kin
come back here an 60 up"
1t was hard. desperate journey
the two men took. One of them fol.
lowed the stream at it's level, the
other tramped along in the mountains
high above the high water mark of
the day before. If they had needed
any evidence of the power of that
cloudburst and storm, they found it in
the canon. In some places where it
was narrow and rocky the pass had
been fairly secured: at other places
the whole aspect of it was changed.
the place was weller of uprooted
trees. logs damned together in fan
tastic shapes; it was as if some wan
ton bosom Of destruction had swept
the narrow rift.
Ever as they went they called and
called. The broken distractions of
the way made their progress slow.
What they would have passed over
ordinarily in half day, they had not
traversed by nightfull and they had
seen nothing. They camped that night
far down the canon and in the morn
ing, with hearts growing heavier ev.
cry hour. they resumed their search.
About noon of the second day they
came to an immense log jam where
the stream now broadened and made
q sudden turn before it plunged over
a fall of perhaps two hundred feet
into the lake. 1t was the end of their
quest. II they did not find her there,
they would never do so. With still
hearts and bated breath they climbed

'IG CHICAGO BANKER SAYS THE NEW MONEY
LAW WILL HELP BUSINESS QUICKLY

LA" w ILL II 1ALSG II
Edmund D. Hubert, one of Chi
Cages big bankers, and vice presi-
dent of the Merchants loan & Trust
Co., takes an optimistic view of the
business situation and the effect of
the new currency bill on the country.
Mr.. Hubert is one of the big bank
ers of the country, who; instead Of
knocking, has done all he could to
help President Wilson fix up a cur
rency bill that would help the coun-
try. 49,
Banker Hubert made the follow
ing statement to The Day Book to-
day:
THE new currency measure is
bound to be a success, because it was
drawn fairly and in the open," he
said. Its passage should bring in
Christmas spirit of optimism to re-
place a feeling of depression that was
based on nothing at all.,'
ct will take at least three months
to put the new system at work, but
business will not wait the complete
organization of the new federal re-
serve board and of the regional re-
serve banks. In my opinion there
will be response within the near
future that will mean increased bust
ness activity.
Much of the success of the new
system will depend upon the charac-
ter of the men on the reserve board.
But the country knows that the
president will appoint only high-class
men.
''The ultimate effect of the new
system will be good. The Owen-Glass
bill, even it's most bitter enemies adj

an American most certainly could do.
He began by taking sharper and
sharper spirals, until finally he
crossed the death-line between right

with inf1nity beneath him and the
world at his back.

panics. Banks will not have to be
quite so conservative; there will be
a moderate expansion of credit, and
within short time business houses
whose. stocks are now nearly depict
+ ed, will become active buyers"
Hubert charged that much of the
opposition to the new currency law
that was partially responsible for
business depression was insincere
and fostered by New York financial
powers that felt that their control of
the money market was in danger.
"The objection that if the bankers
were not allowed to name the re-
serve board. it would be dominated
by clique of politicians was pure
political buncombe for campaign pur-
poses," said he. Under the present
system, with a single man, the comp
troller of currency, directing finan-
cial affairs, how much simpler it
would. be for politicians or the presi-
dent to play politics"
Hubert, it is reported in Chicago
financial circles, is on a tentative
slate of members of the new federal
reserve board. prepared by President
Wilson.

Wants a China Kiln

Il should like to know If any reader
has a china kiln that she has no further
use for? If so, will she please give 1t
to me? l cannot afford new one and
will pay freight or expressage on one.
My husband is a mechanic and could
probably fix up an old one. l should like
some conventional design if any of the
readers would be willing to send them to
me. L will return postage. In making

strainer, the syrup makes fine jelly with

many persons. MRS. 7. t."

Of and it must seem q yet drearier wait
ing for you. We renew the appeal and to
a wider audience. Is there anywhere a
disused china kiln and some patterns that
will make glad this woman's hearts ?
The seeds of figs-preserved or fresh--are,
as you say, peculiarly annoying to eat
ters, having a propensity to stick be-
tween the teeth and to get under the
plate of artificial teeth, that excludes
them from the dietary of many who
would otherwise enjoy the taste and get
the medicinal advantage of the fruit. We
thank you for pointing out way of max
ing jelly that is free from them. Berries
of all kinds would be more wholesome

more palatable. The chief recommends
tion of the imported bar lie due is that
it contains no embittering seeds.
