record-breaking The total demand deposits for the
porting member banks is about 154 billion dollars, against
peak of 1876 billion dollars in January, 1929 (and abnormal
run-up to Isl billions in the October crash)
What are the reasons this large of currency
which is outstanding? Why is there money sin cir
cuaon than there at the peaks of preceding boom'
be said that the high prices for the fact
is that prices good deal lower than in 1920
1929, for example.
Some of the reasons however, are as follows
First there the general uggshness of that
put circulation there longer Since Government spend
ing has been putting circulation rapidly the plng
of money outside the Treasury and the Reserve Banks result
This is a result of uncertainty.
If there demand for money in business, and if
money actually moved rapidly hand hand doubt if
there would be much outstanding AS it N not only do
find that the turnover of bank deposits ow but also find
money very sluggish in its circulation.
Second the foregoing general condition partly explains why
+he navment of the sdiers bonu has added to money in cir
cuaton October There naturally large jump IN June
This level has been maintained since then.
Third said that banks holding cash till money
than formerly This probable for the that they have
such ample excessive that they have incentive
deposit cash with the Reserve Banks Of the small
volume of loans and the low Government securities
conductive the result
FOURTH is probable that sort of hoardng has
Probably American currency being held abroad Prob
ably many of us carrying more currency pocket than for
mery.
Finally are fewer banks than there used be- People
which have bank cash instead of check
ing accounts This increases the of money n ccula
ton"
The great bulk of money in circulation consists of
Federal Reserve which make up about wohrds of the
total $4,135 100000
At present the security for Federal Reserve notes
lawfully be Government bonds to 60 cent of their face
value.
We have II billion dollars in monetary gold, how
and only S9 billion dollars of this in the Reserve
Banks. The latter amount may be all that safely
retaining in the country but so cent
of all the and deposit liabilities of the Reserve System
and in practice something like 55 cent usually enough
Why, then not get back gold basis? We have enough
money We have enough gold. Why not have a better
sounder money?
The answer is that public debt is so big, and
certain that the Administration may still want to repudlate
some by further devaluation The only to sound
and stable money is to balance the budget.

Huxby came back from the dis
covery stake with the gold pan and
little aluminium pot. He stared in
surprise at sight of Miss RamiIl
cooking the liver She shrugged her
slim shoulders, and drew back from
the fire to give one spit to her faith
er. After that she silently offered
the other to Garth.
THANK you," he said. sLet me
suggest that you now fill the gold
pan with water and slice into it one
of the muffles. They don't look
promising. But if simmered for a
day or two, single moose muzzle
will give us several delicious meals
of what might be called aspic jelly"
This won no sign of interest from
the girl. She was no longer hungry.
Garth ignored her silence.
"After starting that dish, you may
cook as much more of the liver as
your father can eat. He will keep on
resting while Huxby and I, go for
another load of moose meat. The
sooner we pack all to camp, the sur
er we i'll hatebtwIlshrdlum
er we will be that other mouths do
not get away with it"
He unbuckled his pack, slung the
blackboard on his back, and picked
up his rifle and belt-ax. Huxby
trailed after him out of camp. They
walked in Indian file all the way
around to the muskey swamp, Hulk
by with his gaze fixed coldly upon
the back of his leader.
At the swamp Garth cut tote
pole and passed it through the ten
dons of two headquarters of moose
The remaining quarter he strapped
to his blackboard. He folded the
second lynx skin for Hubby to use
as shoulder pad. Upon it the min
ing engineer rested his end of the
tote-pole.
Though Garth had no pad, he
stood up with the moose quarter or
his back and lifted his end of the
! pole to his shoulder. But he was &C.
customed to packing. He bore the
meat on his blackboard and his hall
of the two quarters on the pole with
as little difficulty as Huxby totec
the other end of the pole.
When they reached the camp Miss
Ramill and her father were out
gathering wood. At one end of the
fire, thick smoke was rising from
green sticks and leaves; at the Other
end, the pan of sliced muffle was
boiling hard. After he and HuxbJ
had lifted the moose quarters upor
the rack, Garth brough, water in the
aluminium pot and cooled down the
stew to simmering heat. Miss Ramil
had much to learn about the Gull
nary art.

CHAPTER Nv
The Whip Hand


The girl licked her fingers and
turned to stare GENEROUSLY at the
pieces of moose dangling in the
Smudge-fire smoke She spoke to
Garth almost civilly:
"Pve no need to rest like Dad. Do
! have to wait for another piece?"
Certainly not. But you've let the
cook-fire 90 out. Keep this one 60
ing, and you can use. Better cut
another spit. Mind the knife edge, if
you don't want to lose finger"
She showed she could be deft
enough when she chose. One stroke
OF the knife hacked off a willow
twig, two cuts sharpened the end.
Grasping the bottom of the uncut
second liver, she sliced up length
wise, all the way to the rawhide
throng. She poked the green wood
from the near edge of the fire, piled
on dry sticks, and crouched down to
hold her spit over the blaze.
Garth had at once begun to make
catgut. It would be needed to sew
the moccasins. He was intently at
work, and the girl was still more in
tently cycling her meat, when Huxby
came striding between the Spruces.
The once elegant engineer was
smeared with mud from his mid
body down to where the rock-milk
water of the ford had drenched the
bog slime from his shoes and leath-
er aviator trousers. Snags had
scratched his flying jacket and even
torn through one sleeve.
Worst of all, his bare face and
neck was swollen mass of mos
quito-bite wells and the bleeding
wounds of deer-fly stings. The skin
had already begun to puff and dis
color.
At sight of the mans condition

Huxby had cooled down enough
to the point "You win. / join up"
Miss Ramill looked puzzled and a
bit alarmed. Whats the great idea,
Vivian?"
Every simple, my dear. He has the
whip hand. He is boss. We must obey

"Oh! The despicable, cowardly-"
She met Garth's cool gaze and fell
silent.
He nodded. you'll begin by re-

work, it's to be on your feet. We
must build up both your wind and
your muscle. Hubby, I'll ask you to
fetch that pot and the gold pan."
The mining engineer rose and
started up towards the trough with
out word of inquiry or protest
Miss Ramilps eyes widened. She
gazed wonderingly from him to her
father. Mr.. Ramill had no less obedi-
emily lain down as ordered.
Garth ignored the girl. He chop
ped deep notches in the trunks OF
the food cache birch trees, about
seven feet high. He then cut sap
lings to span across from tree tC
tree, with ends wedged in the
notches. The next move was to fetch
number of alder poles.
When he returned, smoke was bill
lowing up to drive the flies from the
moose tongues and muffles. Miss
Ramill had rebuilt the smudge-fire
and taken down the liver, ready fol
slicing. She gazed up at him, stormy
eyed, ready to flare if he had shown
the slightest flicker of amusement
or gloating.

mfr. Ramill, the leantO and blan-,
ket are for you and your daughter.
Huxby can take the lee side Of the
fire. I'll keep it going. Turn in when-
ever you please"
A yawn surprised Lilith Ramill
into a knocking laugh. She turned to
her swollen-faced fiance.
What bowling farce, Viviani
Can you imagine me going to roost
at sunset, instead of sunrise?"
Huxby forced a smile and felt at
particular sore cluster of bites on
the back of his neck. Mr.. Ramill cast
a wistful glance towards the leanto.
Il presume, Lilith, you will pre-
fer not to share the hut with me.
Perhaps I can manage out here be-
side the fire, like Vivian
sNo," Garth differed. You'll sleep
under that blanket until you have
hardened into shape, and you'll turn
in now. It's been big day for you"
The girl bridled. "How about my
wishes and the proprieties?"
We'll leave that to you," Garth
replied eff you consider, it improper
to share the BANKED with your faith
er, you're welcome to sit up and help
me grain these moosehides."
Hubby stiffened "None of your
insolence! You'll treat Miss Ramill
with utmost respect"
'The lady shall receive from me
all the respect to which she shows
herself entitled" Garth said. "Why
not make it mutual, all around?"
Lilith Ramill was no less COM
pletely outmaneuvered than the en-
gineer. She spoke to her father:
well, I must say, Dad, if you're let
ting him order you around, I refuse
to stay up and slave all night. Come
on"
He crept after her into the brush
leanto. Garth at once set to making
more catgut. Hubby had gathered a
thin padding of spruce tips and
moss at the far side of the fire and
lay down. Like the girl and her
father, he soon fell asleep.
