Judy's hand impulsively covered the
small black-kid one and the old lady
looked at her with sorrowful under
standing eyes.
ITS a mistake to live TOO long, my
child" Madame simply.
But the next moment she was giving
vigorous directions to Keegan about
the luggage.
Before the dark dusk fell they were
settled in rooms which had been thor
oughly swept and busted under Mar
tha's energetic attack. Judy had chosen
the room which she and Stad had oc-
cupied on the other occasions. she
stood for long moments looking out OF
the window which gazed over the neg
lected flower garden, and the sea be-
yond. The sun was sinking like red
wafer on the horizon and the wind
came chill off the water-she could see
it shaking the cypress hedge. But in
here it was warm and cheerful with
the cracking Of the fire Keegan had
kindled in the small CRATE. Peace and
beauty and comfort thought Judy,
her head leaning against the window
frame while her eyes followed the red
course of the sun. And such a short
time ago she had been sunk in the gray
loneliness of the city-ground down
by fear and want E.

of them to July. Spoke Of her long
dead husband. Spoke Of her boys,
more particularly Of the well beloved
Nicholas
He loved to come down here-wild
for the sea. even then. Robert didn't
care for the Water-he was all for
books, all for adding fgures-but Mich

the beach. All for out Of doors-for
adventure Nick is like him. 1t will be
like having Nicholas here again when
Nick comes down"
Nick coming down here! But, of
course, she might have known that Nick
would never let Christmas go by with
out coming to see the old lady who
idolized him.
Nine. Carter was explaining that
Nick would fly down-would fly over
the house. and this was said with pride
for the old dowager was AIR minded
to an extreme-and ho would land on
the flying field of small town some
Is miles further down the coast. She
was going TO send Keegan 70 bring him
back in the car when she heard the
motor. ..
A pleasant warm glow in Judv's heart.
1t would be good TO see Mex again.
Dear old dependable Mex.
Twice in the night she woke with
start, thinking she heard the roar Of
motor over the deep boom Of the surf.
But it was not until the middle of the
next morning that they caught the hum
Of plane overhead.
Rushing out onto the front veranda
in the thin bright Christmas sunshine,
Madame's face glowing like a girls who
greets her lover as she waved her
wrinkled hands vigorously at the tiny
speck up there in the sky.
Cleaning in the sun like silver

Impossible that that increasing roar
could come from that small object

that they could see the gleam of sun on

an excited choke in her throat. Had

Then her heart leaped seemed to

He sees us! He's zooming to show

that way. Oh, my boy, my precious

Keegan was already dashing around
to the rear for the car He started It
with a roar, plunged down the road In q
blur Of dust.
The three women went into the house
and the pride and affection which
beamed from Madame's old face was re-
flected secretly in the girls heart.

Great Britain's abandonment .. OF the
gold standard.
The United States gold stock. in the
boards latest monthly bulletin, was
placed at s4.086, ,000, 900, after year
which began with hgland's action and
included sharp ebbing in domestic
gold supplies, enactment Of the Glass

the largest total in IA months.
Other Nations Have Gains.
The board said that central gold re-
serves Of all the principal countries out
side the United States have increased
$1,000, ,OOO, 900, or 80 per cent, as COM
pared with the middle Of 1923. This Is
explained by large mine output and the
release of gold from private holdings In
Australia, China, India and Russia.
The boards bulletin reported British
net imports of gold during the past nve
months have exceeded $l0o, 900. AS
for the United States, it said:
"The recent inflow Of gold from
abroad, which began at the middle OF
June reaalted in an increase in the
country'S stock of monetary gold be-
tween June Is and August 81 Of about
SITS 900, 900. This increase brought the
gold stock to $4,086, 100000
This Is about the same level as OF
the second half Of 1928 and the first
quarter Of 1929 before either the recent
financial crisis or the prevailing busi-
ness depression had begun to show
itself"
Hoarding on Decrease.
Further discussing financial conditions
in this country. the board said hoard
ing had decreased and banking condi-
tions improved, with only $34, ,730. 900 of
deposits suspended in August rs COM
pared with Sxe.s77,0 900 in July and
$3.50. .O2S, 900 in August, 1891.
Member banks borrowings were re-
ported reduced to the lowest level this
year. while their reserves increased

''The return of about SIS. 900 900 of
currency from circulation between July 6
and August 81 was the first substantial
movement in this direction since last
March" the board said. - These
figures indicate, therefore. that there
was during this period substantial re-
lease from boards apparently in ref1ec-
ticn of the recent subsidence Of banking
disturbances and the increasing activity
Of the security and commodity markets"
