hilt Of his sword. and presently 10

with long white hair. He was
dressed all in dOeskin and carried
a great silver key in his hand

asked with a low bow.
The Dryad OF the Oak Tree badS

Puss, and he handed Il to the little
old man. And no sooner did this
little man see the box than he gave
a shout OF delight.
Come with me. Sir Cat" he said.
and quickly led the way into the
castle.
And. oh. what a strange sight
met PvSs Juniors eyes as soon a.
he entered the door. All the ia
mates OF the great castle were
sound ASLEEP. and the Lord ana
Lady sat in their chairs Of state
with their eyes closed. silent and
motionless.
And when the little man in the

and fastened Il with the great belt

But in spite Of the fatiguss Of
the day she was not tired: she
chatted gayly with her husband
during the well-served meal; there
was so much to talk about 80
much TO recall She passed the
guests in review, asked questions
about this and that. and made
laughing criticisms upOn the

But all the while her mind was not
at rest; why had nothing been
heard Of Grimstsad? He was not
at the wedding; yet she had under
stood that the revelation OF the
family secret was to be made on
the very day OF HarOlds marriage.
She did not dare put any questions
to her, husband, for it seemed a
shame to upset his good temper,
and when 10 o'clock struck she
congratulated herself that for that
night at least there was no danger.
They retired to the boudoir after
dinner. and II was just as coffee

Federal Reserve Bank
Makes Annual Report

Washington, Jan. S2.-Curtailment
of private security ISSUES and invest
ment in new enterprises not necessary
as war measures, is advocated by the
federal reserve in its annual report to
congress today.
At the same time, the board empha-
sized the nation 3 financial structure
was never more sound than today. The
brunt of war, coming as drastic con-
trast to a period Of unprecedented pros
perity and financial expansion, has been
equitably distributed and successfully
borne by the federal reserve system, it
says.
Gross earnings for 1917 were $l5, $780,
600 and net earnings $ll 100000. Divi-
dends of $6,800,000 were declared.
Even better results we're forecast for
1918.
Reduction in income producing seeur-
tiles during the year was achieved, gold
holdings increased and large note issues
made on the basis Of this gold reserve,
to strengthen the lending power Of the
banks.
Despite the fact that the federal re-
serve banks played large part in flo
tation Of the two liberty loans expen-
ses Of the federal reserve board were
but $250,OOO.
Federal incorporation Of banks engag-
ed in international and foreign banking
and whose stock is held by national
banks operating under the federal re-
serve system should be authorized by
amendment to the existing law, the
board urged.
Net deposits on which the reserve is
computed were $l0,34s, 100000 on No
vember IL, 1917, against s9,976, 900
a year ago and S6,66s, ,S25, 900 in 1914.
Loans and discounts to November II,
were $3.50 ,571 900 against ss,S55,10l,-
600 in 1916 and $6,363, ,435 900 in 1914.

passing on the case, said:
"This was a suit for divorce. There
was a trial, findings and decree for
defendant, and plaintiff appeals.
"There are no questions of law rails

evidence would only be to recount the
childish chickering's of two young peo-
pie, who, by the exercise of mutual
fOrbearance and selfcontrol, could have
lived pleasantly together. The evidence
does not convince us that defendant IS
conduct has been such as to entitle
plaintiff to a decree. Therefore the de-
cree of the circuit court is affirmed. "
