CHAPTER XXXVI.
Joan Compliments Her Mother.


Margaret Hayden looked at her
reflection in the small mirror atop
the oldfashioned bureau in the hotel
room. AS she had before. she now
quivered with delight at what she
saw. Her hair softly dressed, little
tendrlls curling in her neck and
about her face. Her shining eyes. the
flush coming and going in her
cheeks intrigued her. Then her
dress! Neck and shoulders, white
and smooth as young girls, rising
from the soft rose chiffon and gray
lace of her gown.
Forty isn't oid--very," she said,
smiling at her image, then laughing
iloud as II smiled back.
If only she could escape before
Joan came in! But
Il won't be n coward--Tll wait for
her" she declared, sitting down by
the window through which she could
see the path 10 the ocean.
She had turned out the light, and
after time she found herself dream
ing as she looked out at the stars and
the young moon just coming up.
Dreaming of what life might have
been had she married a young man
instead OF an old one like John Hay
icn. II she had married him and he
had lived-they had lived their
lives together!
suddenly she realized keenly that
she had missed not only companion
shin. but love. she blushed at the
thought She knew that in the ac-
cepted meaning OF the word she had
missed II always. That love between
man and woman was now, always
had been sealed book TO her.
Shall | never know" she mur-
INJURED, covering both her hot cheeks
with her hands. Must ! always be
satisfied to go on like this?"

But | am In my easy chair.

To bed as hlithe and glad as he,
And have such visions come to me
or santa driving Ger the snow
That little chap viii ever hear
The sound OF seighbens tinklng clear
Hen dream OF whiskers long and white,
And aee the jolly saint who comes
Loaded with horns and noisy drums,
And though he'll spend restless night,
Around him kindly folk win flock
To let him revel in their stock
And hero sit with tear dlmmed eyes
For somehow | have come to know
Too many things that are not so,
But / am old and gray and wise
Wishing that | might still believe
And share his JOY on Christmas Eve.
And yet. when he shah older grow,
This Is my prayer Tor him so young
That whore his stocking now Is hung
Another little boy shah go
Ahd hang his stocking up, and he
snail know the Joy he gives to me.

Tho assistant attorney general in charge OF
the affais OF tho Okmulgeo Bank of Com
merce. deceased is filing many suits against the
stockholders OF tho institution. The purpose
is to enforce the state law which holds the
Stockholder Of a failed bank for double the
amount Of his stock.
This is a new departure In state banking
circles Hitherto a failed bank has been taken
over by tho state and script issued for the
amount ot the deposits. Usually the failed bank
has been merged ur rcorguuizrd and the script
has been loaded into such bank, or some other
passing FOR the time being as legal tender
How many millions " dollars of such script
Is now outstanding we may not say, II Is
certainly large amount Aud 1t has no value
other than the law which permits the state
banking board 60 assess the deposits OF an
other state banks . fraction Of "A per cont year.

behind &C. That is not true
But rarely has the banking board made any
attempt TO enforce the law requiring the stock
holders to pay double the value OF their stock

done so IN every case two things would have
followed: There would have been solvent

would have grown steadily less
That such action Is at last being taken must
be accepted as a confession that the guaranty
law ia completely dlscrcdited. This assistant
attorney general had previously announced that
the depositors In the okmulgee institution
would receive nothing beyond their equitable
share ot tho assets OF the failed bank,
