glare of the bright lights had daz-
zled him at the first. Now they sick
ened his spirit Distinction, affluence
mightbe gained, but to pay the price
of their acquisition was to part with
the last vestige of truth and integrity.

one day. 81 will no longer travesty

to or go mad in this wild whirlpool

And Lesbia?
Several times Roy heard of her, but
did not seek to meet her. In some
way some college friends had secured
for her an entree as singer into the
higher circles Of society. Lesbia had
beautiful voice. Her ambition was
to become an opera singer. Then,
when the social season was over, Roy
heard nothing of her. He had about
given up his city dream. He had
written YEARLY, longingly to good
old Uncle James. A very little en-
couragement and Roy was ready to
go back to Upton and begin life all
over again. -
Lismond went away on a commits
sion to write up trip around the
world with some state improvement
committee and Roy was lonely and
discouraged. Then came dark days
no work and no prospects. He was
compelled to give up the room he
rented and cut down meals to two
day. Finally even this system he
could not afford to keep up. He took
the cheapest lodgings by the night
and made do with pound of broken
crackers or yesterdays stale rolls for
a time.
There were no bright lights now.
All was obscurity, the gloss gone
from metropolitan life, nothing sweet
in the city but the patient lives of
the poor.

erty possession. To this he had
chung, but necessity seemed to de-
mand the sacrifice of the last shred
of responsibility and he pawned, it.
His plan was to invest in new hat
and shoes, tidy up as far as his means
would allow and seek work outside
of the literary field.
With his little store of wealth Roy
left the pawn shop, calculating close
ly how he could most effectively in
vest his little capital.
1t was raining and the air was chilly
and disagreeable. He was proceeding
past row of wholesale stores closed
up for the night, when a commotion
proceeded from an intersecting court
Crash-bang! Then yells, the
shrill tootings Of watchman's whis-
tie. Three men dashed into the
street and past Roy. One of them
dropped a bundle in his flight They
were evidently thieves pursued. A
policeman emerged from the mouth
of the court. He began firing after
them. To evade a stray bullet Roy
sprang into a building entrance.
It was dark in the little space
where the building elevator started.
There was a bench at one side. He
moved towards this as bullet shat
tered pane of glass nearby. AS
he did so he pressed closer to a figure
huddled back at the end of the bench,
seemingly disturbing her from sleep.
ooh, do not harm neil was

Great heavens" gasped Roy and
stood aghast, for the voice was that
of Lesbia Thorne! ..-...
AS she tottered nearer to the light
of the street he saw how pale and thin
she was. There were traces of care
and suffering in her once bonny face.
He spoke his name and she was re-
assured. She almost fell to, the seat.

ber of New institutions.

ST. Paul, Dec. 23.-Six hundred rep
resentatives Of Minnesota state banks
in convention here went on record,
with but one dissenting vote, in favor
of the enactment by the legislature
of law giving to some board or COM
mission the power to refuse bank
charters when in it's opinion the or
ganization of such bank or banks
would be detrimental to the best in
terests of the people.
The vote was taken at the request
of Albert H. Turrittin, state superin-
teudent of banks, after resolution
had been introduced by M. T. Dunn,
president of the Citizens State bank
of Brainerd. This resolution contem-
plated giving to the superintendent
the power to grant and deny charters
at his discretion, but Mr.. Turrittin
and others objected to this as giving
too much authority to one man.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Freiberg' dance
