Baton Rouge, La, March 19.-Ap.
proximately fifty bankers are in attend

Group E of the Louisiana Bankers' As
seciation, which began its session hers
this morning. John H. Fulton, president
Of the Commercial National Bank Of
New Orleans, was the principal speake,
On the days program, speaking upon the
Federal reserve act. Mr.. Fulton critised
the system of farm loans by national
hanks provided for by the act. He d.
elared such loans should be handled
through investment companies, rather
than by national banks, whose funds are
subject to recall At any time. In COM
nsnting upon the system, Mr.. Fulton
said:
"While this should be Of great assist

banks to send checks and other negotia-
BILE paper direct to the bank on which
1ay are drawn. Under the present law,
a bank must send items to third parties
for collection, such making it necessary
to send this paper to smother bank in the
same town, IN express company or Al
individual to make collection. If bank
sends items direct to the bank on which
the paper is drawn, and the latter fails,
the bank which has cashed the paper is
deemed guilty of negligence and must
pay the loss. This was decided in the
case of the Louisiana National Bank vs..
w. L. Young, Bank Examiner, which
grew out of the ST Francisville Bank
failure.
The proposition to amend the present
law met with the approval of the dele
gates. It will be submitted to the Lou

Peach Orchards for the Basin.

The d: S. C. & |. Co., we learn, is
preparing to spend large sum OF money
to demonstrate the feasibility OF growing
peaches on land adjacent to their furnaces.
We hope this experiment will be great
success. Aside from adding to the physical
value OF Polk county land, it may prove,
that the acid fumes, of which the state OF
Georgia complains, are having no Ill effects
mon vegetation. Ii this can be demon
strated, it will save a vast sum OF money
that. we believe, is unlawfully taken from
this company Tor damages TO Georgia farm
ers. :,
We wish the company success along both
lines. and that their action will greatly sum-
ulate the planting of peach orchards all
over this section.

There is great need of something, OF this

just as she was when she came into
the place. The man gave all the direc-
tions, the woman apparently paying
no attention to what was going on.
The waitress left the room without
seeing her face. She had instructions
not to come for the tray until morn
ing.
THAT was the last time the man
was seen alive No one has seen the
woman since the door closed after
the servant, who distinctly remembers
hearing the key turn in the lock as
she went down the hall. 1t seems
pretty clear that the man ate and
drank but not the woman. Her food
remained untouched on the plate and
her glass was full. Cad, 1t must have

That's all there is to say so far as
the actual crime is concerned. There

caught her breath. For the briefest
instant it seemed as though she. was
on the point of faltering. She dropped
farther behind the sheriff, her limbs
suddenly stiff, her hand going out to
the wall as If for support. The next
moment she was moving forward res
olutely into the icy, dimly lighted
room
the corner beside the bureau. Near
the window stood the bed. She went
swiftly toward 1t, her eyes fastened
upon the ridge that ran through the
center Of it: still, white ridge that
seemed without beginning or end.
With nervous fingers the attendant
lifted the sheet at the head of the
bed and turned it back AS he let 1t
fall across the chest of the dead man
he drew back and turned his face
away.
She bent forward and then straight
ened her figure to its full height, with
out for an instant removing her gaze
before her: a dark-haired man gray in
death, who must have been beautiful
to look upon in the flush of life.
For long time she stood there
looking, as motionless as the object on
which she gaZed. Behind her were the
tense, keen-eyed men, not one OF
whom seemed to breathe during the
cyy-iy,, wiz xufn
howled about the corners of the inn,
but no one heard It, They heard the
beating of their hearts, even the tick
ing of their watches, but not the wall
of the wind.
At last her hands, claw-like in their
tenseness, went slowly to her temples.
Her head dropped slightly forward,
and great shudder ran through her
body. The coroner started forward,
expecting her to collapse.
please go away" she was saying
in an absolutely emotionless voice.
Let me stay here alone for a little
while"
That was all. The men relaxed. They
looked at each other with a single
question in their eyes. Was it quite
safe to leave her alone with her dead?
They hesitated.
She turned on them suddenly,
spreading her arms in a wide gesture
of self-absolution. Her somber eyes
swept the group.
Il can do no harm. This man Is
mine. / want to look at him for the
last time-alone. Will you go?"
do you mean, madam, that you In
tend to-" began the coroner in alarm.
She clasped her hands. II mean
that / shall take my last look at him
now-and here. Then you may do
what you like with him. He is your
dead-not mine / do not want him.
Can you understand? / do not want
this dead thing. But there Is some
thing l should say to him, something
that l must say. Something that no
one must hear but the good God who
knows how much he has hurt me.
want to say it close to those gray, hor-
rid ears. Who knows? He may hear
mel"
Wondering, the others backed from
the room. She watched them until
they closed the door.
Listening, they heard her lower the
window. 1t squealed Like thing in
fear.
Ten minutes passed. The group In
the hall conversed In whispers.
Poor thing" said the innkeeper's
wife.
WELL" said Drake, taking a deep
breath, "she won't have to worry any
more about his not coming home

were signs of a struggle-but 1t isn't
their arrival at the inn. The blizzard
had not set in. Last night was dark,
of course, as there is no moon, but 1t
was clear and rather warm for the
time of year The couple came here
about nine o'clock in high power run
about machine, which the man drove.
They had no hand baggage and appar-
emily had run out from New York.
Burton says he was on the point Of
refusing them accommodations when
the man handed him a hundred-dollar
bill. 1t was more than Burton's Gu
pidity could Withstand. They did not
register. The state license numbers
had been removed from the automo-
bile, which was of foreign make. OF
course it was only a question of tine
until we could have found out who
the car belonged to. 1t is perfectly
obvious why he removed the num-
bers."
At this juncture Drake entered the
room. Mrs. Wrandall did not at first
recognize him.
ut has stopped showing" announced
the newcomer.
"Oh, it is Mr.. Drake" she murmured
1--WE have little French car, painted

without giving Drake another thought.
And this one Is red, madam" said
the sheriff, with a glance at the coro-
ner. Drake nodded his head. Mrs.

did no one see the face of-of the
woman?" asked Mrs. Wrandall, rather
ENORMOUSLY. 1T seems odd that no
one should have seen her face" she
went on without waiting for an an
swer.
It's not strange, madam, when you
consider all the circumstances. She
was very careful not to remove her
veil or her coat until the door was
locked. That proves that she was not

must be very distressing to YOU"

my husband who lies up there. Please
remember that" she said steadily. 1T
is easier to hear the details now, be-

| if it should turn out to be as Mr..
Drake declares"
II see," said the sheriff, marveling.
| Besides, Mr.. Drake is not positive"
put in the coroner hopefully.

Drake.
