enough to make him the hero of her first foolish naidenly dreaming.
 On his part, Walter, drawn by her dainty face and demure manner, was inclined to think that he might make Himself safe position in the world and secure a satisfactory living with out work by marrying this bread and butter miss. Unfortunately, however he soon found that the carrying out of his design was beset with difficulties, for somehow latterly it seemed that he was never to see Helen for a mo- ment alone, much, less given oppor- tunity for an elopement even were the preliminary arrangements made.
 As he neditated now, it was clear to him that he must appeal directly to Lucene for aid in the execution of his purpose. Under this necessity he was irTitated by the fact that already, un- der Andrews compulsion, he had set himself before his putative sister in remarkably bad light. He had been forced to pretend financial distress to her and beg her to help him in saving him from exposure and disgrace. Nat urally, to save the possibility of bar ing the whole hateful truth, to her hus- band Mrs. Wainwright had yielded to
 
 edly with money without her husbands knowledge. The fact increased her self contempt But Walters sole con cern in the matter was dissatisfaction over the effect these transactions must have in making her hostile to himself and so an obstacle, not help, in his plan to possess Helen.
 Walter scowled as he reflected on the fact that this financial intriguing with Lueene was altogether an annoy ance to him since even the money in vo1ved did not remain with him, but was invariably turned over to Andrew by that taskmaster's orders. Devil 1sh poor picdngs, I call it!'' was the thfef'S unspoken comment, with sheer. Anyhow, he decided he must make the effort to enlist Lucene's as sistance in his wooing of Helen. With this resolve he looked up to behold Parker in the doorway.

LONG CREDIT TRADE

If the American people could bpt pay for their household supplies day by day, one of the big costs of living could be reruced- The money is of ten laying idle in the consumers. pocket, while he pays an extra charge to enable the retailer to pay interest on stock bought on credit or with borrowed money.
 A farm bureau expert, in an ad- dress a few days ago, pointed out how great many farmers are increasing their costs by the policy of buying supplies on long terms of credit. The supply company practically becomes a bank It not merely makes a profit on the goods, but it gets a banking profit too. If the farmer could bpt buy for cash, he would save one lib eral profit.
 As a community grows in prosper ity, it ought to get rid of long credits. The retail merchant may think he is not paying anything for the use of capital locked up in his stock. But if he could get at the cost books of the manufacturer, he would find that not merely is he being charged inter est on his delayed account, but that a percentage is added for risks of credit trade The man who pays cash buys cheaper.
 The subject was suggested by the advice that has just been given at the at Washington, of the necessity of ex- tending long terms of credit, if the United States wants South American trade. - The proposition is adverse to our temperament. The American business man believes that t'short ac- counts make long friendships" But this is case where the boot is on the other foot. The United States is now the richest creditor na-
 tion in the world. It can reflect that 1 creditors usually profit handsomely
 for extending accommodation, where
 same is based on careful investiga- 1 tiOn of business standing. Wherefore our business men can well afford to humor the South American wIlim for

 On account of them he was grateful for this refuge But, on the other hand he experienced a growing alarm over this intimate relation with Vain wright, the renowned foe of criminals such as he. There was something mon strous to Walter in the fact that he, the thief, was here posing openly, if not boldly, as tlse brother-in-law of the most effective district attorney New York had ever possessed, whose popu- larity thus secured bade fair now to makeg the man the chief executive of the state. This association with Vain --right kept the youth in a constant eremor of apprehension lest the worst befan. He expostulated in vain with Andrew, who treated him and his ar guments with galling contempt. His offset to the disdain of the Master lay in the patent adn1ra ton accorded him by He1en Wainwright, Wright the great manSs Bister, who, to be sure, was merely a schoolgirl of sixteen, on her vacation, yet the heiress to g tidy fortune and remarkably pretty, if not especially burdened with brains.

Washington, May 13.-President
Wilson'S note to Germany on the sink
ing of the Lusitania and attacks upon
American life and property on the
high seas is now being coded and the
first sections have already been trans
mitted from the foreign office to Ber-
lin.
1t is declared that the note is as
forceful as possible without actually
furnishing justification for a declara-
ton of war by Germany. The presi-
dent notifies Germany that the pre-
Vious warning of the United States to
hold Germany to a "strict accountable
ity for the destruction of American
life and property is still the policy of
the United States. The note does not
make the demand for financial repa-
ration and no specific kind of repara-
ton is asked. The main thought is to
bring Germany to a realization of her
offense against the rights Of neutrals.
The text of the note will be made
public for papers on Friday morning.
The note is about two thousand
words long. The message probably
will not be completed before 6 o'clock
tonight.
