unshaven face he looked incongruous
among the rows Of neatly stacked
books. He took down the nearest
paper and stood idly turning the pages,
but his eyes lifted every few seconds
and darted furtive glances at the Ii
brarian'S desk.
The pair there was engrossed. Salts
fed, he laid down the paper he was
holding and searched the rack. With
quick intake of breath he reached sud-
denly for one of the papers. He
scanned the headlines and feverishly
began to turn the pages.
He paused on page 3. and as he read
his hands trembled with tension.

working strangely, staring at the

He mumbled the words, mounting
them incredulously: :. only bruised

A slight noise jerked him back to
awareness Of his surroundings and he
looked up quickly. The old man had
taken a seat at a nearby table. An
open book lay in front of him. his hand
resting on it as though marking the
place. His head was squarely turned
toward the newspaper rack. The man
holding the paper froze, and fear
leaped into his eyes. 1t was only mo-
mentary. Those five words danced
again across his brain, and he sud-
denly laughed. drawing the lips back
from his teeth and holding his head
up arrogantly. An attitude of challenge,
as though saying: Here I am, take
a good look. I am not hiding any
more. I am not afraid any more"

old Anton, curiously.
An excited voice broke in: "A guy

September Figures Reported
by Building and Loan
League.

Savings building and loan aSsoci-
ations surpassed their previous scores
for the past IL months in volume OF
new loans disbursed during Septem-
ber, s115,495,000 the United States
Building and Loan League, their ma
tional trade organization, reports. The
amount was 81 per cent larger than
for August and seven-tenths of per
cent ahead Of July, the previous peak
month Of the IL. It rounded out a
full half year of $665 100000. Six
successive months have witnessed more
than 500. 0O0,0 in loans.
Continuing to take an even more
dominant place in the lending Of these
thrift and home financing institutions
the loans for construction of new
homes and those for new purchases Of
existing homes were $34,860,000 and
s34,145, 900 respectively. being 6.5 per
cent and 40 per cent ahead Of last
months loans in these two categories.
Modernization and repair loans also
showed September totals $1,000, 900
higher than August.
September Loans.
Morton Bodfish, executive vice pres
ident OF the United States League.
points out that the September loans
were within 100000 Of the October,
1885, total, the largest the building
and loan associations had recorded
since 1929. A large amount Of re-
financing loans accounts for the peak
reached a year ago, in Mr.. Bodfish' S
opinion. whereas the outlet for home
loans at the present time is becoming
more and more the contracting Of
new obligations by new groups Of home
owners.
Construction loans in September
represented 10000 disbursements and
were IS per cent more numerous than
the loans Of. this type reported for
June, the end month of the last
quarter. Mr.. Bodfish said that the
b sustained demand for construction
loans over the third quarter of the
year, with the average loan continuing
to be about the same size, between
$4,000 and $4,000, points to the like
lihood that the construction industry
is keeping its feet on the ground and
continuing to shape its product for
the great mass of people who can
afford only moderate-priced homes.
