since 1907. and well below the point
AT which gold would ordinarily flow
into this country In the early days
of the war exchange on London sold at
ST the pound, and there was not much
TO be had at that price.
Because Of this drop the question has
been raised in Wall Street whether
England is not likely to soon return at
least some of the Sl00.000,000 gold de-
posted in the Canadian Treasury, in
Ottawa. to the account of the Bank Of
England.
The shipment of this gold to Canada
was part of the plan worked out on
his arrival in this country by Sir
George Paish and representatives OF
the Treasury Department and leading
New York bankers for the readjust-
ment of international relations and the
reopening of the New York and Lon
don Stock exchanges The terms under
which the New York Exchange opened
were practically dictated by these CON
ferrees. and the scheme under which
the London Exchange opened last Mon
dav was also part of their work.

But, in half an hour, a shrill chriek
cam up from the meadow below the

down the hill to the rescue, and found
the little girl in terror on n side OF
the brook, with a water snake near
by. We took her away from there,
but / noticed that she didn't go down
to that particular spot again or ex-
press a wish to.
But the faith of the child still held
out that she could go anywhere else,
save to that particular meadow. SO,
one morning, wearing a red coat, she
flew off for a grand race across the
hill pasture. A young bull saw her
coming, and with head down, he be.

little Fanny came flying up to a knoll
in plain sight, fired of an ominous

Once more her friends anne to her
rescue, and she was taken back to
the house thoroughly frightened, and
protesting that she would not cross
that pasture again that summer. That
afternoon she took to the roadway
and amused herself by picking the

next neighbor's, half a mile OH. Our
