sternly.
"Diana's found me out, and she's
going to tell Aunt, first thing in the
morning" said Aimee, with the calm
of despair. "And I've told Monsieur
de Jussac. l simply had to tell some
body. And everybody will know to-
morrow"
Rather a delicate position, Mon
sieur lie Cure-eh?" said Bertrand
dryly, and not without satisfaction.
Alexander flushed to the ears and
hung his head. He looked so ashamed
and wretched that Aimee felt a pang
of remorse.

Immediately, Aimee"
"All right, I Will"
"Assuredly-she shall go at once !
Till the morning then, Monsieur L
Able, and have no fear. The danger
shall dissipate ITSELF" said Bertrand,
and almost forcibly he %shepherded the
bewildered Alexander out of the room.
Bertrand darted back, and caught
Aimee by the hands.
HE is bon enfant, the parson! I" he
cried, "all shall yet be well. But it
is impossible to require deceit from
him. Leave that to mel Mademoi-
selle, I am a magnificent liarl" He
smote himself proudly on the breast.
'You shall see how my talent"
But"
"Not a wordl I shall consider It
an honor-a privilege. It Is the one
situation in which preyarication be-
a virtue! Retire, then, made

shall be found out of this impasse,
I pledge myself to it-foi de chevalier!
The morning shall bring, not disaster,
but happiness I"
Aimee was wlirled out of the room,
hardly less bewildered than Alexander.
When she had gone upstairs. Monsieur
De Jussac returned to the dining room.
He paced the room with long strides,
developing a series of plans that
flashed through his brain. Some
caused him to laugh aloud, others
evoked a sigh.
"In this country of Puritans,
schemes that elsewhere would glow
like a golden mist, become impos-
sible % he unused regretfully.
Since the GOODNESS of Lady Diana
was the main difficulty, Bertrand's
thoughts concentrated naturally upon
her, and 1t is to be feared that Aimee's
p%redicament 2aded into a secondary
place. Allowances must be made for
those swayed by the grand passion.
Suddenly de Jussac halted among the
suits Of mail.
"Tiens! the armor," he said, bright
ening, 'the same of which Diana
should have told me the history, Blu
declined. She shall come to 1t yet!
She approves armor-she adores the
days of chivalry long dead.

WHY
Blottins Paper IL Capable Of
Absorbing Water

Everybody knows that II a piece Of
blotting paper is dipped edgewise into
4 saucer Of water the water will climb
up the paper to a height Of some
inches above the surface. but few can
tell the reason It does so.
Capillary attraction is the name for
this power which causes water TO rise
In an absorbent substance. and the
battling part Of it is Its apparent SIM
pliclty.
This is just one Of those natural puz-
zles that our greatest scientists can
not solve--yct. Its real nature is no
more understood than is the real na-
turc Of electricity:
But although we DO not know what
1t is, capillary attraction Is most
useful force. II holds the Ink In y
pen nib and In q fountain pen. By its
aid the melted wax In the little crater

TO keep the candle burning. So. too,
the liquid flows UP the wick Of an oil
or spirit lamp. x.
Were II not for this force. clothes
would become bone dry" directly they
were lifted out of the water. A
great many of the automatic lubrlca-
tors for ollIng machinery depend Ell.
tlrely on capillary attraction for their
action; and sponge. retains the water
in It's pores by the same means.
+. Capillary attraction has been sug-
gestcd as u means Of attaining perpet.

devices have been put forward. All.
however. have been proven futile by
the laws of mechanics.

MARKED IMPROVEMENT

Statistical evidence Of moderate
improvement in economic conditions
in Colorado during 1922 is to be found
In the fact that the deposits Of all the
banks Of the state on December 20,
1922, showed an increase Of 1875 per-
cent over the deposits on December
81, 1921. There was likewise an in
crease of 12 percent in the total assets
Of the same banks and of little more
than percent in loans and discounts.
Compilations made by the State I'm
migration Department for use in the
Colorado Year Book show that the de-
posits in all the banks of the state
on the date mentioned were 1904 1885,
900, compared with $270,20S,0 900 at the
close of 1921. The banks OF So coun-
ties OF the 63 in the state showed in.
creases in deposits during 1929. Four
OF the II counties showing decreases
are mining counties where the de.
creases are accounted for by the fall.
ing on in the production Of metals.
In Logan. one Of the counties showing
a decrease the deposits OF a national
bank temporarily closed are not in,
cluded. which accounts for the appar.
ent decrease.
II Is worthy of note that deposits at
the end Of 1922 were about $4,000, 900
greater than at the close of 1920 and
less than s7,00000o below the high
mark reached at the end of 1919. At
the same time loans and discounts are
approximately s26.00O,000 below those
at the end of 1920. While loans and
discounts increased somewhat during
1922 they did not increase in so large
a ratio as did deposits.
The report shows that nearly all
mining counties have increased their
bank deposits slightly during the year
and most Of them show little or no in.
crease in loans and discounts. This
is taken to indicate that farmers have
curtailed their expenditures during
1922. for their 1922 crops and live
stock brought them but little more
than they received for the 1921 output
In the case Of nearly all crops except
hay the advances in price did not
come until after most farmers had
marketed their surplus production.
Average prices received for livestock
were higher than for the previous
year. The only important crops for
which lower prices were received
were potatoes and fruits, but losses
on these crops were rather heavy.
The fact that farmers under ad.
verse conditions have been able to in.
crease their bank balances is taken to
show that the agricultural industry
In the state Is fundamentally In n
sound condition and will show quick
response To the expected increase in
the prices OF farm commodities.

SOUTHERN TO PROVIDE INCREASED FACILITIES FOR CUBA SHIPMENTS
JOHN P. PULLMAN

Increased facilities for shipping mill and other products to Cuba are announced by the Southern railway, which on March l will inaugurate 3, through car service for handling package freight without transfer to Havana. This will be in connection with the Florida East Coast railway and its ocean going ferries operating between Key West and Havana.
 Details of this new shipping ar engagement are thus announced:
 Freight will be assembled ana cars for Havana loaded at the South ern's Atlanta terminal known as In- man Transfer, to which package cars are run from all the principal ship ping and transfer points east of the Mississippi The cars will be han died on fast manifest trains by the Southern to Jacksonville and by the Florida East Coast to Key West, where they will be switched aboard the car ferries and, In turn, switched to the railway tracks on arrival at Havana"
 This service, it is believed, will greatly simplify the shipping of less than car load freight to Cuba. Pack ing regulations will be the same as for domestic shipment.
 Cuba is getting on it's feet again and business with that country, it is agreed by manufacturers and Job bers, is beginning to again become inviting. There Is a lot of less than car load freight moving from Bir- mingham from time to time TOT Cuba, which is a steady taker Of wire mill products and parts for sugar house machinery.
