they had barely seated themselves
when Mrs. Collier remarked:
"Nlr. Curtis secretary usually joins
us here for coffee. He has his dinner
with my brother, and then, poor man,
comes in for brief period Of relaxa-
ton. When my brother Is in one of
his bad spells poor Mr.. Loeb doesn't
have much time to himself"
Loeb, the private secretary, came In
for coffee. He was tall, spare man
Of thirty, pallidly handsome, with
dark, studious eyes and features Of an
Enthusiastically Hebraic cast, as his
name might have foretold. His teeth
were marvelously white and his slow
smile attractive. More than once dur

stubborn ever-racnrring oninion that
the man was not Jew. Certainly he
was not an American Jew. His voice,
his manner Of speech, his every action
stamped him as one born and bred In
land far from Broadway and its
counterparts. If Jew he was of the
east as it is measured from Rome
the Jew Of the carnal Orient.
And as the evening wore on there
came to Barnes the singular fancy
that this man was the master and not
the servant Of the house! He could
not put the ridiculous idea out Of his
mind.
He was to depart at ten. The hour
drew near and he had had no opportu-
nifty for detached conversation with
Miss Cameron. He had listened to her
bright retOrts to O'DOwd's sallles, and

Not until the very close of the eve

nifty come for him to speak with her
alone. She caught his eye, and, to his
amaZcment, made slight movement
of her head, unobserved by the others
but curiously imperative to him. There
was no mistaking the meaning of the
direct, intense look that she gave him.
She was appealing to him as a
friend-as one on whom she could de-
pend!
The spirit Of chivalry took posses

The enthusiastic manner in which bankers and individuals in the Eighth Federal Reserve District are respond ing 10 the governments appeal for funds through the sale of Treasury Savings Certificates are exceedingly gratifying, and the sales of the secur- ities far exceed the expectations of Federal Director Wilson.
 Although tho campaign just began in September. and not the full month was available for the canvass, the quota for that month was largely over subscribed. and there is scant chance for the failure of the four months campaign that will end December 31.

 G. A. Mueller, of the Bank of St. James, Phelps County. Mo-, took the quota for his city. He said he con- sidered the certificates the best ss- eurites available and would recom- mend them to the banks customers. and would advertise and help to create a demand for them among the banks cus-ome-S

Legislation Asked to Make it an Of. fense to Buy War Savings
 Stamps at Low Price.

War Savings Stamp "scalpers" who have been inducing holders of stamps to part with their securities al a sacri- ace to the seller and at considerz bls benefit to the buyer, are likely 10 have their operations stopped short in Min. nssota.

Harrison, War Savings Director of the Ninth District. has asked the Minnesota legislature to en. sot law making it illegal for any person to buy War Savings Stamps or Treasury Savinxs Certificates at less than the price Axsd by the gov. ernmsnt Tho proposed act is based on the law recently passed by Rhode Island.
 The law has the endorsement of Theodore Wold. governor of the Min. neapolis Federal Reserve Bank, and of A. R. Rogers. who directed the war loan organization in the Mill City dur. ing the Liberty sad Victory Loan cam. paRns.
