CHAPTER w.

FENHERE are some men whose mission in
 life it appears to be to go about the
 world creating crises in the lives of other people.
 Bailey Bannister was one of these. That he should have interfered in the affairs of Ruth and Kirk at this t.me was, it must be admitted, unselfish of him. for just now he was having troubles of his own on somewhat extensive scale. His wifes ex- travagance was putting strain on his finances. and he was faced with the choice of checking her or increasing h.s income. him, it is surprising that he should have found time to take the affairs of Ruth and Kirk in hand. But he did.
 For some time he had watched the widen ing gulf between them With pained solci- tude. He disliked Kirk personally; but that be his duty to suppress private prejudices.
 What urged him to thls course more than anything else was Ruth's growing intimacy with Basil Milbank.
 To Ruth, as to most women, his gifts were his attraction. He danced well; he talked well; he did everything well. He appealed to side of Ruth's nature which Kirk scarcely touched-a side which had only come into prominence in the last year.
 Kirk's inability to accompany Ruth inte her present life had given Basil his chance.
 Bailey just at present was feeling strongly on the subject of Basil. He was at that stage of his married life when he would have preferred his Sybil to speak civilly to no other man than himself. And only yes terday Sybl had come to him to inform him with obvious delight that Basil Milbank had invited her to join his yacht party for a lengthy voyage.
 This had stung Bailey. He was not in cluded in the invitation. The whole af- fair struck him as sinister. It was true that Svbil had never shown any sign of being fascinated by Basil: but, he told himself, there was no knowing. He forbade Sybil to accept the invitation. To soothe her disappointment, he sent her off then and there to Tiffany's with rowing commission to get what she liked; for Bailey, the stern,

 Kirk shook his head '1t wouldn't do, Steve. It isn't that I don't want to do it; but one must play to the rules"

NEW GERMAN BANK
Is EXPERTS PLAN
Preparations Experts Urge Formation
of New German Bank With
Two Departments.

Paris.-The plan agreed on by the
PREPARATION experts for new German
bank of issue is to organize the insti-
tuition in two departments-a banking
division to be located in Berlin, and
an issue department in a neutral coun-
try. The bank would be governed by a
board, one-half of whose members
would be Germans and the other half
Representatives of allied and neutral
countries. The president would be a
German and the comptroller non-Ger-
man. If the president and comptroller
are in agreement in decisions, major
ity of the board is to rule, but if the
president and comptroller disagree, a
two-thirds vote would be necessary for
decisions. Thus, either the German
section or the non-Gemnan would have
veto power, having it within their dis
erection to paralyze the German curren-
cy should such an extreme measure be
necessary as penalty for non-fulfll-
ment of obligations. 1t would be the
specific duty of the comptroller to see
that the status of the bank note is
dsregarded. The bank would be the
depository of reparations funds which
are paid in marks of the new gold cur
rency, 50 that questions could not be
raised of default in payments through
reasons of exchange. The capital of
the bank probably would be equivalent
of $400,000,000, but this point is not
disclosed for the present. o
