flotations would have failed. To borrow
more money would have had q bad in
fluence. It is quite probable that q
large addition to the public debt would
have had the effect of further lowering
to points below par the bonds of the
war issues. New borrowing would have
added to the interest charge to be an
nually borne by the Treasury.
Decline Of Debt Steady.
In this tight situation, Secretary Mel
was not only no increase in the public
debt, but steady decline. AS short
term certificate of indebtedness fell
due, new issues would be offered to re-
fund them, but an effort was made at
the time Of each such operation to
borrow less, so that there was a grad
ual elimination of the total debt.
1t will be recognized that If the
Treasury had been i'll managed in these
emergency years, general recovery from
the business depression would have
been seriously retarded; indeed, a COM
plete disaster, with accompanying panic
and vast economic losses, could easily
have occurred. Insolvency of the
Treasury would have frightened indus
try and trade generally. American
finance and business look for leader
ship to the Treasury. With so huge a
total of Government obligations out
standing, any extensive fall In their
value as security for loans would have
been vitality serious.
Sufficient skill was put into the man
agement of Treasury finance to bring
Liberty bonds up to and above par,
to bring down the interest cost to the
Treasury, and to reduce taxes and re-
tire debt. This could have no other
effect than to release money and credit,
and relax the strain which had every
where been felt. Trade and industry

the Mellon taxation theory, taxes flowed

The policy of economy in expenditures

result of all these policies and opera

said today that 1t had not been decided
whether the company would ask the
commission to make any increase
granted uniform on all street car lines
in the District or whether his company
would wait until 1t Is formally made
arty to the case as requested In

This Is q matter, he said, which must

and they would probably take 1t under
consideration soon.
I'm any case" Mr.. Ham said, at Is
our position that car fare in Washing
ton should be uniform. I cannot con-
ceive of the commission raising the
fares on one set of lines and not on the
other. The result would be, especially
during the rush hours. that my cars
would have a burden to bear that they
could not possibly take care OF: further,
this would take away business from the
company which is seeking relief and
which Is entitled to It,; and. Of course,
1t would be horribly confusing to the
public generally to have one set Of fares
on one company and another on an
other.

 And so, the mare -hitched, and her hat found after no great search, since my lady knew exactly where to look for it, Sir Richard brought her into what had once been fair garden but now a place of weedy desolation.

 And I tricked you because, since you are too infinite proud to visit us, I became so infinite humble as to seek you thus. And, wherefore, do you suppose?" Sir Richard shook his head.

 So he clasped her hand, and thus stood-all unwilling of other eyes that watched them so keenly fierce, and ears that hearkened so avidly.
 So Sir Richard lifted her hand. kissed it, and, letting it fall, stared hard at the shears again. Madam" said he, a little un- evenly, T am infinite grate- full"

For The LOre Of 4 Lady
By JEFFERY FARNoL

Captain Despard, being the man he was, still smiled and still spur red in determined chase.
 Helen leapt her mare through the gap in ruined park wall and can tered lightly over undulating green sward until she espied a man, bus fly engaged with pair of shears trimming a woefully shaggy hedge, but even at this distance she Knew him, wherefore my lady checked her steed and tossing off her plumed hat, she shook down her abundant hair and spurred the Witch sharp | ly, which reared, plunged and set off in sudden, wild career. Thus Sir Richard heard sud- den cry, the muffled thunder of galloping hoofs, and turning beheld a vision wonderful: bronze-gold tresses out-streaming on the sunny air, and all loveliness swaying to every graceful bound.
 Sir Richard dropped his shears, and small wonder then again came that cry:
 "Stop-oh, stop her!" Sir Richard poised himself for sudden and desperate action. On came those swift, trampling hoofs nearer nearer yet-but now, seeing the perfect poise and ball ance of her 1.-the figure, despite her so agonised appeal, his eyes twin kled, his firm lips curved to sudden smile; then, he sprang and caught the bridle.

SYNOPSIS: Sir Richard Guyfford is in q dark, sullen mood that betokens the trouble some days ahead for him. For Sir Richard stands challenged to duel his cousin, Julian, a scoundrel, whom Richard whip ped for some low villainy. But then Helen Darcy rides into Richards life, her eyes, that once flashed only scornful con- tempt for the young nobleman, now smiling tenderly. Forth with Sir Richard sees a bright CT future. Helen's aunt, the Duchess, being wise in the ways pf lovely, naughty girls, pre- diets a romance. Helen ridi- cules the very thought, but She does not know.

Chapter II A FEMININE RUSE

Meanwhile Helen, standing before the largest mirror in her bed chamber, stared at the reflection of her loveliness with troubled eyes, 1exed, surprised, wondering:
 Could it indeed be true?-Pre- posterous!'
 But why must she remember the loose button on his cuff; the sud den way he had of lifting his chin and looking at her as if about to ask some question that never came; the quick vitality of his brown eyes; the small scar that made a dimple beside his mouth; his odd trick of whistling softly between his teeth-why?"
 MySlady turned her back on the mirror, and, leaning forth of the open lattice, gazed dreamily round about the pleasant countryside. And when she had viewed this tempt ing prospect while and sighed over it, she rang for her maid.
 And after some while my lady descended the stair, the folds of her riding habit over her arm, and so to the stables, there to wait i'm patiently what time old Ben and one of the groom saddled The Witch, her powerful, glossy-coated mare. Then, slim booted foot in old Bens hand, up she sprang to the saddle, gathered the reins, set tied herself lightly. The Witch reared gracefully, and was out and away through the paddock. t'.
 But scarcely were they beyond the village than was chatter of pursuing hoofs, and my lady found Captain Despard beside her. Helen frewned, the captain bowed.
 sfHelen e D said he gently. sHelen, I love thee!"
 eAnd so this I wish you good bye, sir?"
 Captain Despard smiled. And yet, Helen, l dare venture to think you will be my wife sooner or later"
 My lady merely glanced at him and wheeled her mare, but out shot the captains long arm and he grasped her rein, then. down whiz- zed my lady's riding switch and Captain Despard. losing the rein, glanced from the red welt on his wrist to where my lady galloped her mare 50 yards away.

the face pillowed on his shoulder studying it feature by feature-the wide, low sweep of brow, the sen sitive nostrils, the vivid mouth; to be sure her deep bosom rose and fell somewhat quickly, but her face how utterly serene, never the quiver of an eyelash!
 So Sir Richard bowed his head and kissed her, and he did it with singular deliberation; he kissed her hair, one eye, and her mouth and, finding her yet a-swoon, he kissed her mouth, one eye, and her hair and, indeed, was in the act of doing this for the third time when she looked at him and drowned.
 She: Where am I? Sir, I believe you kissed me. He: I'm sure of it.
 She: Sir, twas wholly detestable act.
 He: Nam, twas the blissful aber- ration of happy moment.
 She: And a-swoon! Oh, shame, sirl
 He: But a-swoon so gracefully apt!
 Here my lady had the grace to change color.
 She: Have you no better excuse to urge2
 He: Only the best of all-- your self.
 She: How, sir, how? Dye take me for one to be lightly kissed-a thing so shameless, a creature so light? Set me down this very mo- ment!
 So, with the extremest of pre- cautions, he set her feet to earth, bowed and stood back while she ordered her attire with delft, femi- nine touches.
 My lady frowned and began to put up her shimmering tresses, the while he watched her with pro- found interest, whistling softly be- tween his teeth.
 What is wonder, sir?" she asked, nodding towards the hedge he had been trimming.

 "The little cats-eye ring you're wearing"
