HELPING GERMANY
TO HER FEET

Germany has displaced Nueeia as
the country that needs 20 he "rohab bill
tated" for the good of Europe. Thie
change waA primarily forced by tho
approach of May 81. when the Ger
man Government must give its answer

Everything IS now hold 60 dopond upon
tho floating Of an international loan
i'm aid Of Germany. and the hakore lu

success
Surprise may he ocCaeoned by read
ing that tho French desire that the
rate OF interest on the proposed Ger
man loan he fixed "a low M povshle
But THE ie plainly enlightened aelf
interest, France would not gain hy
too cxorbitant terms for the loan
She does not wish 10 exhaust Ger
mays capacity to pay reparatione
l After the loan and moratorium the

| look forward To those. Moreover. Il
! would not he wise 10 make the terms
| Of the loan 60 onerous that the Ger
man peple would feel later that ad
vantage had been taken of their ne

debtor in heavy amounts who must b.
helped TO her feet by her creditors
The easier they make Il for her nov
the moro they VIII be able to get from
her in the future The French ar
alert TO perceive this. and appear nov
TO be acting on the belief that the.
have a direct interest in helping Z
make Germany a going concern.
OF course. the rate of interest %
the German loan will inevitably de

much OF this is due to \ reasonable

much TO a mere changing OF figures

is not unnatural.
Recently there WAS some talk Of
the Levy Court increasing tho tax
rate for tho next fiscal year. but now
we hear talk that 1t will be left at
the prevailing figures. Taxpayers who
had shivors of apprehension at the
first suggestion may now take heart
OF grace. They do not expect any re-
duction. but an advance would \be re-
garded by them. and justly, as an OUT
rageous imposition, not warranted by
any reasonable public demand. The
increase OF two millions In the as
sessmcnt will realize n little more In
tax receipts without any advance In
the tax rate.

CHAPTER XVIII.
His Trump Card.

The Fortune Hunter was COM

when one Of the maids crossed
the hall TO him.
AN express letter for you. sir
1T came an hour ago, but I
couldn't find you anywhere"
The Fortune Hunter took II
from the tray she carried and
wave of color swept his face.
The handwriting was Irenie Cla-
ver's, he knew. and for a mo-
ment he dreaded opening IT as he
walked into the study and closed
the door.
He had never sent her the re-
mainder Of the money he had prom
ised, and he supposed It was to de-
mand it that she had written.
The contents OF the letter were
something very different.
"I hope you'll get this safely

will be in time to warn you. I
think the game is up, and that
you'd better clear. Someone has

more and more pronounced, and
this involved the formation of eli

latitude, such as exist at present.
the highest temperature prevailing
on the equator, and within the
tropics, where the solar rays are
vertical, or nearly so, while the
mean temperature descends with
increase of latitude toward either
pole.
Continents Cooled First.
At the same time the continents,
or land areas, were the first to
cool because of their relative eleva-
ton and relative freedom from
cloud. In the process epochs
would be reached possessing the
essential conditions for glaciation.
I. e., a sufficient supply of cloud
and moisture from the oceans to
produce abundant precipitation on
the continental areas where the
coincident low temperature should
bring about heavy accumulation
of snow and ice. Each such epoch
would be determined by a critical
temperature.
IL during a glaciation "the
oceans should fluctuate in tenn
perature TO points somewhat
above or somewhat below these
critical temperatures, correspond
ing variations in the generation
of water vapor would necessarily
follow. Each fall below this criti-
cal temperature would impair the
cloud sphere, and each rise above
this critical temperature would re-
store II, thus alternately exposing
the surface TO solar energy and
shutting off the same until
the oceans again cooled below the
critical temperature"
This alienation OF conditions
offers an explanation of the fact
that the great PleistoCene Ice
Age. in. If not during. which early
man existed. was divided into sew
cral periods. alternately warm and
cold II also explains the exist
cnCe of other ice ages much earlier
in geological history, and some of
them in low attitudes.

is trucD, since the climatic control
Of the sun seems now to have
been permanently established, the
earth's internal heat no longer

seem that our planet has not to
look forward to the possibility Of
another ice age coming on in the

hand tremble as she drew It away.
You seem to forget that I still

most in a whisper.
"A ring of miner" he echoed
stlfly.
"Yes-you-oh. lookw she broke
off. pointing upwards and shrink
ing away from him as II in sudden
fear.
A ragged looking black crow was
towering just above their heads,
and as the Fortune Hunter glanced
upwards the bird circled around so
low that they could almost feel the
rush Of wind made by his wings.
Then he cawed twice-three times
as II in \hoarse mockery. and
flashed away down the river.
Good lord! What an extraordi-
nary thing the Fortune Hunter
said blankly. Then he looked at
Anne. WHY, what Is IT." he
asked quickly.
Don't YOU know what II
means?" she asked family.
Don't you know that there's an
old superstition that II crow
circles over anyonc's head and
Caws three times something
dreadful is going to happen? oh.

He tried TO laugh ut her.
why. what nonscnsc!' what
can happen? As II IT could make
any difference, 7 never thought
you were so foolish. Anne"
Her lips trcmblod.
Don't laugh nj mO-please"
she said family. She sprang
ashore as soon az the boat
touched the bank and ran away
to the house. the tears running
down her cheeks.
