pectedly called upon to act as an agent
OF justice against chicanery and vio-

the task. His labors, which, for the
greater part of his life. had been ex-
pended in tracing the evolution of
blind fish in inland caves. had not es-
pecially fitted him for dealing with the
details of such case as Agatha's; but
they had left him eminently well
equipped for discerning right prin-

yearn for a better knowledge of the
recluse who had been her friend, un-

remembered her industrious plans for
the day and postponed her talk with
Sallie.

pasture to fringe of dark trees along

that apple tree, the path is. But don't
go far, Miss Redmond, the woods amt

IAN right. Sallie; thank you. I'll

started out through the pasture, with

Six Banks and the State!

Six banks have been sued by the

embezzled by the convict department
1t NAV be we'll to exhaust all remedies
4hat the state authorities can devise,
even if the prospects Of eturing from
ahe six banks the missing money are
not the brightest.
But when Alabama sues six banks
she sues six parties that can employ
good lawyers and put up strong
defense. The defense will be as well
presented as the states case possibly
can be, and the claims will not turn
into money this year, or even next
year. 1t is a long road to collection
when both sides are heeled for a ju
dicial combat.
Governor O'Neal will go out of Of
flee before these cases are ended, and
a new administration will have to con-
duct the litigation. This adds an
other uncertainty to collection that
is well equipped with them to begin
with.
