to A c., Box 22o.''
Sylvia read the advertisement hope
fully. She was a young woman-if
twenty-five is young; she was capable,
and for four years she had been pri-
yate secretary to Henry Cowle, head
of the Lighting Investment company.
But Sylvia was more than capable
she was pretty and charming, too, and
young Harry Cowle had taken an
amazing liking to the details of Office
duty in his fathers corporation ever
since he came home from college and
saw her.
Henry Cow1e looked upon his son Har-
ry with fond paternaI eye He meant
him to have a destiny, as he express
ed it. The idea of his sons marrying
a strange girl from small country
town did not appeal to him. The young
people we're not exactly engaged, but
Sylvia was just as fond of Harry as
he was of her. And so matters drifted
until Henry Cowle interviewed.
Harry" he said, i've decided to
put you in charge of our Portland
branch. You can start west tomorrow.
/ want to build it up and shall expect
you to stick to your desk there for at
least two years"
That was how the quarrel began.
Harry announced that, if he went, he
would take Miss Sylvia Latham with
him as his bride. Henry Cowle re-
Joined that in that event he could re-
sign his position and take twenty-five
cents for a wedding gift In the mid
die of the discussion Sylvia entered,
but the discussion had grown so heat
ed that it did not stop. Sylvia under
stood its purport at once, turned, walk
ed out, and never went back.
That was how she came to leave
Henry Cowle. And now she wondered
whether it would be necessary to men
ton him as a reference.
She answered the adv ertisement,
and on the following day received a
letter asking her to call at a house in
the suburbs. Sylvia went 1t was a

of grounds. A maid admitted her to
a reception room.
In a minute or two a pleasant-look-

Republican Unity.

1t may be, as some of the unre-
constructed Progressiyes in congress
declare, that the Democrats will sue
coed in putting upon the statute books
a presidential primary law, in which
case the reforms drafted by the Re-
publican national committee distribut-
ing representation upon the basis Of
the Republican vote of 1908, may
prove to be work OF superogation.
But the Republicans of the country
are not Influenced in forming their
party action by the possible exfgen-
cies of Democratic legislation. The
fact stands out that the meeting of
the committee which was looked to by
pessimists as a storm center with the
south Indignantly standing out for the
present scheme of representation has
turned out. in fact, to be one of the
most amicable, serviceable and high
minded sessions of that important
body. The reforms indicated are of
the widest reach and will place the
Republican party exactly where it
might have been put before this. had
it not been for the deplorable schism-

YET TO Be TESTED
Voters Await Effect of New Cur
rency Measure
One IndIsputabIe Fact 10 That the
Law II supersedes Was Model Leg
fsiatfve Enactment and Made
the Country Prosperous.

OF the national banking law, which
the new currency measure supersedes,
historians win say that for so years
1t gave the country better paper
currency than Americans had ever
previously known. and banking sys-
tenn which was a model in many
ways. During all the time while it
was in operation not one dollar of
national bank currency ever caused
the loss of a cent to a holder.
For years after the Civil war
there was loud denunciation of the
national bank currency by agitators
of the Greenback party, whose idea
was that the government could make
money at will by putting it's stamp on
paper and calling 1t money, and that
this money" could be lent at low
rate to the people. making everybody
rich. After full discussion this de-
fusion passed. The historic examples
of the paper currency of the American
Revolution and the French assignats
were recalled to good effect in the de-
bates of those days.
Latterly the chief indictment of the
national bank note currency has been
that it was inelastic-that it's volume
bore no fixed relation to the needs of
trade-that when periods of financial
activity occurred it did not expand.
and that it failed to contract when
it's volume was far in excess of COM
mercial needs.
The hope of the trainers of the new
law that it will provide a currency
automatically adjusting itself to the
changing requirements of legitimate
business remains to be tested. Those
IL
ity desiderated is unattainable-th
paper issues not dependent upon the
most stringent requirements as to Sc
curity tend to expand, and show re-
luctance-to contract-have had their
say, and have been shouted down.
Their seemliest course under existing
circumstances is to avoid the role
of Cassandra and to watch the work
ing of the new system.
