either place at their option. Their
is the further provision that one
half OF the reserve with the Federal
Reserve Bank can be in the form of
paper acceptable for rediscount
The first effort OF this Law .hen
put into active operation Will be to
distribute the present bank reserves
about over the country. Like shift
ing the weights on nicely adjusted
scale. this Is going to disturb the
balances" TO some extent. There will
then be a rcadjustment and the ma
tural forces underlying the currents
OF trade will operate to bring about
natural equilibrium. In the same
way that water seeks its level. the
money OF the country will flow where

wisely and for the benefit of all the

this Is Mr. Wilson's intention. there
will come much good to the country
out of the law. aud the opposite Is
also true that disaster would come

"When Rob Roy returned he tried to carry the thing
off with attitude of bravado and indifference but
it didn't work We knew all wanted to know, and
Rob Roy knew that we knew. He was bold and rtlc.t-

UP to him. with their heads low and the bad look in
their eyes They circled round him, and two of
them growled little. Rob Roy began to lose his

"Then The Abbot, who Ezabeth's elder half

purpose in every line of him. Straight to Rob Roy he
came, and thrust his muzzc into the sables face.
Coward he growled.
"Rob Roy drew back and showed his teeth.
"The Abbot was old enough to display more jul
dicia attitude; but his blood UP, and fight

Abbot's actions, rushed in with snarl and npped
Rob Roy in the fore leg. The sable turned him
savagey-therc grit in him, it must be admitted.
But he was attacked from the other side and turned
again. Then The Abbot closed in, and there was
quick grapplc and break.
Suddenly the hotheads brushed aside and old
Rodcrick Dhu, calm and severe, stood between The
Abbot and Rob Roy.
S'This won't do said he You're not pack of
wolves. The will be here presently and theren
be whips and hot water and end of trouble Wait
till tonight, and l will settle with Rob Roy.
@The Abbot protested; but Roderck forced him
back, and Rob Roy skunk off to his kennel.
THAT night in the moonlight after the men had gone
to bed, Roderick called Rob Roy out back of the
kennels and babe him stand up and take his punish

bowled him over, and the battle on.

we knew that old Roderick was taking his life his

but he no longer young.
AT first there the Usual fierce rshes and feints,

Lady Jane and Sir Donald lay quivering with the

stirring memory. -t

Again and again Rob Roys youthful strength thwarted

Roderick the merle parted with both his fore paws and
Rob Roy's teeth snapped together in Rodcricks ruff
just pinching the skin. With quick upward thrust
Rodcrick caught Rob Roy full in the under part of his
throat in mighty, throttlng grip and held on.

In the ears of Lady Jane the occasional
yapping of the fox terriers sounded trivial
and irrelevant. Sir Donald did not hear
them at ALL
FINALLY Rob Roy lost his footing, and
slowly, deliberately Roderick Dh1 rose
above him-and finished the job!
@The men found Rob Roy's body next
day and took it away. They seemed to be
much puzzled. They found the marks OF
battle on Roderick; but they knew his
settled temper and thought he must have
been attacked by Rob Roy. They put
him off by himself for time, and watched
the rest of us; but nothing happened,
and things driftcd back into the old groove

Sir Donald watched him furtivelv,
his young heart swelling with the martial
pride of his race. But Lady .Jane-bless
her!-could not restrain a certain curiosity.

NO. replied Old Scotch, with an in

troublesome little fuzzy babies

@But don't ever speak to her of this, p" Old
Scotch fastened to add, more seriously.
Roy Roy was her twin brother, you know.
She never left her bed during the fight,
and was well for her that she did not.
AT the NIincola show last June a
nosy Old English sheep dog started to
question her; but she turned away and
made no reply
Presently Old Scotch gave little
chuckle "There's notch in Roderick's
ear and bunch on his neck still, said he.

he wouldn't be sleeping under that Re

Sir Donald rose and stood for a moment
looking down the row of Valley Brook
collies.
