hair with her hands and arrived In
the front hall just as Margaret opened
the door In answer TO an imperative
peal of the doorbell. On the steps
stood Cousin Fanny. She was stout
old lady. elaborately dressed. Behind
her stood fine chauffeur, and In his
arms he held small. silky black dog.
The dog had such funny, wrinkled
old-lOoking face that Angelina had to
stifle a desire 70 shrek as the dimin-
utive little creature peered at her from
under huge red satin bow.

Pringle. Parker" she commanded the
chauffeur, "set Darling down, and then
you may CO." Then, turning to the
waiting girls, she said: 81 hope din
ner is ready. Darling is used to hav-
Ing her meals on time and she doesn't
like to be kept waiting. Let's eat as
soon as can get my things off. We
can talk later while Darling is having
her nap. She likes to go to sleep
just as soon as she is through eating"
While Margaret was helping Mrs.
Pringle remove her wraps Angeline
hurried back to the kitchen and few
moments later they were all seated at
the table. Darling had chair close
beside his mistress, because, as Mrs.
Prngle explained. her food had to be
cut up just so. The girls WINGED when
they saw the little dog eating off the
delicate china that had been put on
the table for the expected guest. II
was long and tedious process coax
ing Darling to eat, but after while
she was stuffed to her mistress salts
faction and was carefully lifted down
from the chair and laid to rest on
fat silk pillow on the davenport, where
it was cool and quiet When the little
dogs shores satisfied Cousin Fannie
that her pet was sleeping she herself
settled cozily back in her chair and
announced that she herself felt like
taking forty winks after her dinner
and journey. This left the Carriers free
to retire to the kitchen and do up
the dinner work.
1t was good thing that Mrs. Prin-
gle and Darling were tired and their
maps were prolonged, for never before
had it taken the Carter girls so long
to do mess of dishes. They did not
talk much, for fear of disturbing the
sleepers, but words under the circum-
stances were unnecessary. They would
look at each other and go off into per-
feet spasms of laughter. They laughed
until they cried.
"Can we hold out for whole week,
Angeline?" Margaret asked in whis-
per.
81 don't know" Angelina answered.
"But whether we do or not, ! can see

Angelina nodded and they began to

Note of Thankfulness
Just a Bit Premature

As the circus performance was
drawing to a close the two girls looked
uneasily at the crowds around them

wondered how they would ever get
there. Seeing no other exist possible
they finally pushed and squirmed their
way turtle fashion" out into the open.
Not knowing where to go for the
trolley car, they followed the crowds
and trusted to luck that they would
get there.
Just as they reached the sidewalk
circus team stalled and though the
driver yelled and the horses pushed.
they pulled dangerously near the walk,
and the crowd with one impulse moved
backward. The girls divided their
time praying for the team to depart

Finally, though. the girls were per-
mitted to cross the road. THANK

JULY | PAYMENTS
NEARLY A BILLION
Huge Sum to Be DisburSed
Among investors in
Few Days.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 2e.-If all Of the
bonds and notes issued during June
were to be absorbed by the interest
and dividend disbursements TO be made
on July less than half of the new
funds available on that date would
have been reinVested.
1t Is estimated that these payments
will reach nearly $1,000, 900 900, an
amount much in excess Of any other
similar period. Many dividends have
been increased since January / both in
the rate itself and in the dollar amount
the latter due to larger capital issues as
stocks have ben "split" up. The effect
bonds and notes by corporations and
municipalities on record will also be
visible when the interest payments be-
come due on Monday.
New Bonds Issued.
Against this figure Is q total Of APP
proxinAtely $400, ,00o. 900 Of new bonds
issued this month plus 9 substantial
amount Of preferred stocks Of public
trials. The bonds and preferred stocks
would ordinarily go to that class which
regularly employs its income for new
investment rather than for current
living expenses. AS most of the new
issues give higher return than the
older ones, such as the high-grade rails
and public utilities, they attract pub
lie that demands IS per cent and
safety" after years when IS per cent
and safety" was the slogan In the In

Prior to June the greater portion Of
this years financing has been done
with stocks They outranked bonds for
two for one, but the supply became so
great that the markets could not absorb
them and some Of them fell on evil
days. Latterly there has been more Of
an inclination to resort again to mort
gage issues, which have been at least
one-third greater than in May.
It is significant also that foreign
financing has been resumed on quite
an extensive scale. During June there
were three Canadian railroad issues,
aggregating $4,000, 900; two South
