CHAPTER XVIII.

Saturday came, q perfect day that
filed the little valley to the brim with
golden sunshine. Alix, driving alone
TO the mountain cabin, stared in the
morning freshness at the blue over
head and said aloud, "Oh, what day
Of gold"
The dog, sitting beside her on the
front seat, tapped his tall in answer
to her voice and she laughed at him.
But the laugh was quickly followed
by Il sharp sigh.

She had come up to the cabin to do
the usual last little daily fussing
among the ducks and chickens and to
bring Peter, If Peter had not gone into

age of money so successfully that he
applied for added authority to issue
the we'll known "greenbacks." his plan
being to make that, too, full legal
tender, that is, receivable in payment
Of all debts, public and private. The
necessary legislation was passed in
the popular body, the house of repre-
sentatives, but it was so amended in
the senate that it finally became law
with the proviso that the notes could
not be used for the payment Of duties
on imports or interest on the public
debt. However. the greenback was
good enough to buy government bonds,
the interest on which must be paid ,iE
coin.
The result was that the actual mon
ey of the country was the greenback.
Gold became a commodity, the same
as wheat, cotton, iron or brass. Worse,
it became a speculative commodity,
and at one time it took more than
three dollars of the peoples money,
the greenbacks, to buy what the law
declared to be dollar in gold. The
fact that the treasury notes maintain
ed parity with gold from their issue
to the present day tends to establish
the claim Of those who believe in
fiat" paper money and that gold is
not Indispensable as a money unit.

which siie was deeply thinking.
"Does he know you had that let"
teri Peter said. -.
"No; Alix is going to speak TO him
about it." Cherry outlined the talk
that she and her sister. had haG at
breakfast.
"Then shouldn't bring up the cues
tion at ALL" Peter decided, quickly.
''It would only mean an ugly and un-
necessary scene. It's much wiser to
let him continue to think that you
don't know anything about 1t, and to
let Alix think that you are ignoring
the whole thlng!"
Until Sunday" she whispered.
Until Sunday" Peter glanced at
Martin and AliX, who We're talking to-
getlrr absorbedly, in low tones. my
little sweetheart, I'll make all this
misery up to you!" he whispered. Her
little hand was locked In his for the
rest of the evening.
.
Morning came, crystal autumn
morning, nnd life went on, If there
was any change at the cabin II was a
change 9Jr the better. Alix. who had
been silent and troubled for q little
while, was more serene now, as usual

concerned for the comfort Of her
household, and as usual busy all day
long with her poultry and pigeons, her
bee-keeping, stable, and dogs. Peter
was his courteous, gentle, interested
self, more like the old Peter, who had
always been occupied with his music
and his books, than like the passion
ately metamorphosed Peter who had
been so changed by love for Cherry.
Martin, satisfied with the general re-
Spects aud consideration with which
he found himself surrounded, accept
ed life plac!dly enough; perhaps he
had been disturbed by the advent of
the letter, perhaps he was willing to
let the question of an adjustment be-
tween Cherry and himself rest. 1t
amused him TO help get the house
ready for d tenant, and from the fact
that Cherry talked no more OF living
there, and made no comment upon his
frequent reference to their departure
on Monday, he deduced that she had
come to her senses.
Cherry, too, was less unhappy than
she had been. BY avoiding Peter, by
refrainlng even in words and looks
from the conpanionship for which she
so hungered, by devoting herself to
Alix, she managed to hold her feelings
in leash. Even though Allx found
that the knowledge of the secret they
shared without ever mentioning stood
between them like screen, the SIS
ters, busy about the house, had won
derful hours together.

Chinese boy who mad been helping the
sisters with their housecleaning had
been persuaded to cook the dinner and
get breakfast, and the evening about
the old fireplace had been almost too
poigEantly sweet. .
But suddenly, a. about ten o'clock,
Peter had surprised them all by get
ting to his feet. He was going up to
the cabin, he said-must go, In fact.
He would rather walk, please, he told
Alix, when she offered to drive him
I'D In the car. Bewildered and a little
apprehensive, she let him go. To Cher
~, who seemed to feel suddenly sad
and uneasy, Alix laughed about 1t, but
she was secretly worried herself, and
Immediately after breakfast the next
morning decided to run up to the cabin
In the car and assure herself that
everything was right there.

Congress Creates Our Money.

Modern developments In industry
and commerce have made the use OF
money imperative. For this reason the
money question is the question Of the
times. The government having sole
power of issue, under the. constitution,
there can be no valid substitute. In
fact, the use of anything, but author
lied legal tender is forbidden by law.
Money does not depend for its value
on anything but the real wealth of a
nation, it's power Of production. The
first national money in this country
was authorized by the Continental
congress in Its and consisted of bills
of credit" guaranteed by the faith and
credit of the colonies, to each Of which
was assigned a quota as its share of
obligation; but the United Colonies
stood back of any member whose quo
ia at the time OF redemption might be
wholly or partly in default.
It is understood that at this time the
Continental congress was merely a
voluntary conference Of separate
states, without power to dictate actor
in any. The delegates, drawn togeth5
er as a, measure of mutual defense in
the War Of Independence, had no
power to levy taxes or to compel the
people to accept their enactments.
The war was won with paper money
this much discredited paper mon
ey!"-when gold and silver were not to
be had. Indeed, it may be remarked
that coin never won a war. At the
first cloud on the political horizon, it
seeks the farthest recesses Of the
vaults in which it hides. It's only use
during the Revolutionary war was the
purchase of traitors lured by it's glitter
when the patriot cause seemed DOOM
ed.
But the Continental congress only
promised to pay money and natural
ly it's inability to secure coin to re-
deem its paper issues led to a depre-
citation of the latter, holders losing
faith in it's ultimate redemption. This
devotion to the creed that some day
all paper currency must be cancelled
by exchange for coin is the fatal

Settlement of Obligation in Same
Value in Which It Was Created.
Dearborn Independent.
The money question, although con-
ceded to be the most important is per-
haps the least understood by the mass
es of any of the civic problems Of our
time.
Money is the currency of country,
the standard of payment, whether of
coins, circulating notes, or any other
commodity, anything which freely cir
culates as comman, acceptable me-
dunn Of exchange in a country, even
though it cease to possess such value
on passing into another country. Aris-
totle says, Money exists not by ma
ture, but by law" and economic and
financial authorities uniformly regard
moEey as a great aid to civilization, in
the elimination of waste attending the
earlier exchange Of commodities COM
monty called barter.
Money thus becomes the medium of
exchange by which real wealth, the
product of the soil and labor, finds a
ready market.
The potency Of the law in civilized
country to impart the quality of ac-
ceptibility to that which it recognizes
as money Is clearly shown in the oper-
alton of the Bank Of Venice during
several centuries, throughout which
were never payable, but only transfer
able on the books of the bank, were at
premium over coins, because they
were the standard Of payment. In
deed the bank deposits were the stand
ard in which the value of coins was
expressed In London, during the cri-
sis Of 1917, according to Thomas Bar
ing, It was found impossible to raise
any money whatever on $4,000 pounds
of silver. and in 1854, it was equally
impossible to raise q rupee on 10000
pounds of gold. The silver was not
legal tender for more than 40 shillings,
and the latter not at all. These illus
trations are given to clear the mind Of
false impressions and TO show that the
modern use Of gold and silver as mon
ey depends solely on the law, and in no
wise on their supposed intrinsic value.
Gold and silver in themselves are
worthless except as they are desired or
utilized by man.
Money has in various stages Of the
commodities, including land. Among
them have been cattle, our word Pc
cuniary beirg derived from the Latin
term for cattle. The Jews, in addition
to silver, had Jewel" money Sicily
once used leather money, and as late
as the eighteenth century the Chinese
made money of the inner bark Of the
mulberry tree. Needless to multiply
