tho bank got control of certain trust
funds amounting to millions which
were held on deposit in the United
States. Men without experience were
chosen as department heads of the
bank and American employees were
discharged. Within six years the
bank had losses of $4,000 900. Its
entire capital. most of which had
been furnished by the government,
was wiped out, and in addition the
government lost something like $15,-
100000 of it's deposits
This money had been used for all
sorts of sky-rocket schemes au-
thoriZed by special acts of the legis-
lature, with the government holding
the majority of the stocks. Loans
were freely made and sugar centrals.
cocoanut oil mills, cement factories.
and other ventures backed by men
with a pull sprang into being. Moss
of them failed. To make long
story short, the certified accountants
who were brought here from the
United states to look over the books
stated that the bank had been opaI-
ated in violation of every principle
which prudence, intelligence or even
honesty dictates. They proclaimed it
a situation unparalleled in the his
tory OF banking. After Gen. Wood
came, many of the officials of the
bank were prosecuted and found
guilty Of embezzlement and other
criminal offenses."

seemed to fill him. OF course, what
really was happening was that in the
splendid shape in which Philip was,
his whole system was feeling the
stimulus Of AN intermolecular diffu-
sion of inspired oxygen. That was
why he was full.
At turn of the path Philip sud
denly became aware of a young girl
advancing to meet him. Her spinal

elongated and erect, and Philip saw

To begin with:
An impassive mask covered it. Then,
A quick suspicion chased itself
across 1t:
An intense determination hardened It:
A bead OF moisture appeared upon it;

A CLEAN Of intelligence shot across 1t;
A look of perplexity furrowed it;

And then
The impassive mask fell on it again.
These rapid changes of the face are
evidently connected with the pursuit
of crime. II anybody wants to go in

It is quite different, however, with
the love story, the seat Of which seems
to be In the stomach. In the same ro-
nance In which the sleuth hound
worked his face. I observed that a

Some methins seemed to go out from

Everything sank within her.
This last symptom is naturally so
serious that 1t ends the book. Indeed,
I notice that when things sink inside
the heroine II means that something
vital has come unhooped.
Quite different is the case OF the
hero-the strong man. With him the
operation Of the story is all done
seemingly with strings, with stretch
ing the tension. He gets "taut," or
he gets rigid his muscles tighten
into steel bands"-in fact you could
easily run sewing machine off him.
Now there is no. doubt that these
physiological descriptions are admir-
able in their realism. The only trou-
Bile is that they don't go far enough.
1t has seemed to me that an excellent
literary effect could be obtained by
heightening this physiological color
ing and letting it be quite clear just
what is happening, anatomically and
story.
