n ICHoLAs LONGWoRTH'S
sister has hurried up to
VI Paris from the fighting
4 front at FeZ, on a particu-
lar errand connected with II.
She met her brother, who had been
staying at her house in Paris.
Nicholas Longworth is a parsonage
in France. AS Speaker of the House
of Representatives. he corresponds TO
the President of the French Chamber
of Deputies very great man,
coming directly after the President of
the Republic.
His sister, while less spoken about
in the press. is also a parsonage,
for she is the wife of the French
general who holds the most difficult
section of the extreme battle front
against Abd-el-krim in Morocco
Gen. Count Adelbert de Chambrun.
When brother and sister were
in Paris, Gen. de Chambrun
was in conference with the head of
the French government. Prime Min
lister Painleve, who had flown from
France TO Morocco by airplane, and
with Marshal LYautey, the COM
mander-i in -chief-and was explaining
the battle front where they stood, on
the banks of the OuerGha.
Madame la Generate de Chambrun,
as the French say, she who was Miss
Clara Longworth, was in Paris to get
supplies for the hospitals in and
around F'ez-to which the wounded
also come in airplane from the fight
ing line.
She had experience in the World
War, and she has learned Morocco
inside and out. during the years

erty-stricken, /" He stammered
and stopped.

The Quiet-spoken man extended his
hand, which was grasped in silence.
THAT evening they announced to
Judge Holmsted that, having fin
ished' their inspection, they were
ready to return home. After thank
ing the judge for his hospitality, the
younger stranger broached the matter
of business. They were not only
timberland investors, it appeared, but
dealt also IN other property. But, as
he tried automatically 10 come TO the
subject uppermost in his mind he
seemed strangely i'll at ease for one
accustomed to business deals of mag
nitude. And finally, instead of the
tactful approach which he had
planned. he came very bluntly TO the
point
There a deposit OF mica on that
hill 40 of yours. Judge" he said
simply. Would you care to sell it ?"
That old hill 40, Hope blossomed

possible that they might-pay enough

take care of that threatening inter

months. After that
But the stranger was speaking
again. I'VE realize, Judge, that, be
tween gentlemen, there should be no
haggling over such a thing as price.
We've talked it over. my friend and
l. and have decided to offer you just
what the property is worth TO us.
That faint CLEAN of hope f1ickered
and died. Evidently the strangers
considered the hill 80 almost value
less. Foolish, Just an old man

tality
He heard the strangers voice again.
He was speaking rapidly. I'VE can
offer you, for all rights TO the land,
$50 .080''
Fifty thousand dollars. One watch
ing Judge Holmsted closely might
have noticed a sudden throbbing of
the blue veins at his temples: might
have detected a slight tremor in the
hand that went up, trying uncon-
cernedly TO stroke his gray goatee:
might even have observed his other
hand grip tightly for moment the
arm of the chair on which it rested.
Maybe, in that brief instant, the Judge
saw a dream fulfilled: broad fields
fenced to pasture and dotted with
sleek cattle and fat swine; bottom
lands, yellow with Tipening corn:

PLAINLY the visit of the strangers,
should it prove of some duration,
meant a still further drain on the
slender resources of Holmacres. Since
he had promised his guests a horse,
they would have to take Grover Cleve-
land. All of the work mules were
sadly needed. but he must use one of
them for his daily trips to his Office.
By waiting until the strangers had
left every morning and remaining at
his Office until he was sure they had
returned, they need never know of the
subterfuge he had resorted to for their
convenience.
Another matter claimed his atten-
tion-the disquieting letter which had
come that morning. The interest pay.

BACK FROM
MEETING
Executive Committee Makes
Plans for Next Associa-
ton Convention

President John B. Larrer of the
Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany, President George 0. Watson
of the Liberty National Bank and

ell of the American Bankers Asso-
citation held at Augusta, Ga. Mr..

bers Of important committees.
The executive council outlined
plans for the next convention of
the American Bankers Association.
The COMMITTEES on the fiftieth an
niyersary of the association recon.
mended that a foundation be created
in commemoration .,f the establish
ment Of the association and that it
take the form of fund Of not less
than $4,000 to provide scholarships
and undergraduate work in the
field Of finance and economics.
Lewis A. Pearson, of New York,
an ex-president of the American
Bankers Association, and George
