Brown probably, or maybe Jones.
Or it might even be Smith,"
BRACE scowled his wrath at such
flippancy. Look here, Lib" lie said.
"rll give you twenty-five dollars to
find out her full name and where she
lives. I'll give you hundred If you'll
find somebody who'll introduce me to

must warn you you're late. Boyee

a hold on her father. But she stood
him off,"
"H'm-she stood him off? My offer
stands, Lib. She, couldn't possibly
throw herself away on low.lookins
fellow like that"
Shottle asked for the twenty-five in
advance, was denied and took himself
of, grumbling. He found Boyce and
the girl called Nadine just leaving the
little alcove, and stopped them, bow
ing low. "Sir," he said, addressing
Boyce, II have been directed to in
form this lady that she has been
awarded prize as the best waltzer
in the room. II You will be so good
as to give me her name and address

Boyce regarded Shottle suspiciously.
"Well !" he exclaimed. II didn't know
they did that sort of thing here. What
is the prize and who is giving it?"
1.-THE prize" replied Shottle blandly,
"is a-turkey. 1t Is given by the
by leading butcher of the town."
Boyce laughed. and the girl added
her silver merriment. "I'm sure I'm
fiattered," she said. 1.-THE name is

She broke off, and flushed a little.
Shottle's jaw had dropped; then he,
gulped with an extraordinary contor-
ton of his face in the endeayor to
mask his establishment. "And the ad-

Boyce, lit would be better to take the

he delayed some ten minutes in dark
thought before he sought Drase again.

Frame Finds Fault.
Andrew J. Frame of Waukesha.
Wis. prominent In the councils Of
the American Bankers Association.
has taken exception to the large
amount Of idle cash in the vaults Of
the regional banks OF the federal
reserve system. to the extravagant
buildings that have been erected in
reserve cities and also to par check
collections.
Many bankers will agree with Mr..
Frame on the first proposition. while
supporting the second. but not the
'hird.
He claims that at least $1,000 900
na0 OF the cash on hand should be
returned to the banks owning the
money. that they might employ it in
caring for the demands of business.
This great fund is part OF the re-
serves of member banks. carried on
time and demand deposits according
10 law. and can only be changed by an
act OF Congress.
On these funds the banks do not re-
ceive any interest whatever. and this
fact has driven many member banks
out of the system.
It Is claimed that non-member banks
can use their funds to much better ad-
vantage than member banks. while en-
:ioytng all the privileges Of member
banks through affiliation with a bank
that Is member OF the system.
