and undivided profits, $3,741.1O5, and

of the federal land banks. The

States Treasury has purchased and

are not guaranteed by the govern
ment, they are the secured obliga-
tions of banks operating under fed
eral charter with governmental su-
tion the government is represented.
Other Offerings, S.5,OOO.OOO.
A noteworthy feature about the
offering is the small amount avail
able at this time. For some time
past the offerings have run at about
s75,000.0o0. and the offering has come
every three months. The last offer
ing of bonds was $4,000 900, of which
approximately s5O,00O,000 were for
purposes of refunding outstanding
bonds SO that it begins to appear
as if the peak of the demand for
money from the banks had passed
and that hereafter the offerings
would be considerably smaller. From
fthis. however. it does not follow that
there is any slackening on the part
of demand from farmers for money
for additional lands. improvements,
etc. 1t is more likely that the de-
mand which came from the farmers
for loans at a lower rate of interest
to replace loans at higher rates has
been substantially completed

It was almost entirely a matter
of instinct with Marchurst, and he
had never cared to ponder it, to

definite decision impaired a certain

and she recognized that her purely
personal spell over him was indeed
ended. She had lost her power of
invincible appeal to his sense now
and she knew it.
She waited second, then
laughed.
"Let it be so, Dick. 1t is over"
she said slowly, and then as sud-
denly as it had invested her that
air of secret menace left her.

low laugh was sweet and with a
timbre of mischief now-almost
the innocent mischief of a child.
"You know, Dick, l have been
very good, modest, not extrava-
giant, all these past weeks. Now
soon-I travel a little-to Europe.
That will cost you such a lot of
your new money. You do not

give me love-but l may ask you
other things-yes? Kiss me, then
we shall be good friends. 1t is
not necessary to be enemies be-
cause we love no more as we used

So they ended the "holiday."
Marchurst was too relieved at
what he regarded as the good
sense" of Sais to dream that the
easy acceptance of the break which
showed so gaily in her eyes was
not reflected in her heart. Nor in
his excited mood did he observe
that the silent Olympic no longer
smiled, that the Nubian girl, Bina,
seemed even to shrink little from
her mistress, watching her inces-
sanity, or even more ominous, that
the giant Abyssinian free lance
went about his duties more softly
