TRIMLY TAILORED. 179 A noise reached Nilwan, the tones of two rough voices just behind her resting place. Sinceo her experience with the bootlegger she had been cauâ€" tious and more or less suspicious, wondering if a still were hidden near. She listened. One man said in a guttural tone, "He‘s at the old lodge near Solâ€" ston‘s Creexk. We can let the gang know and get him toâ€"night." "And what he‘ll get when we do lay our hands on him! We‘ll show him that he can‘t pull a gag like that on us," the other snarled. Nilwan rose silently, parted the leaves and peered through. Two men, burly and vicious looking, stood close together. "When I get through with him, he won‘t report me again. Carter Mason had better not fool with Jim Styles if he wants to play safe. You tell the b-oy; tomeet in the woods in front of the cabin, at nine. We‘ll make things hot for him." NE _ Nilwan shuddered. â€" Carterâ€"théy were going to get Carterâ€"to hurt Carter. iA Her sense of gratitude drowned her doubts. He had saved her onceâ€"her turn now! What if he loved Janet? That was his businessâ€"hers now to do what sho couldâ€"for him. . She waited until the sound of the; horses‘ hoofs had died away then turnâ€" ed and sped across the field. Twilight was decpening. She know where Bolston‘s Creek was and the cabin used as a fishing lodge by some city men. It was three miles away. She did not follow the road but ut across fields. Minutes were precious. The going was hard, over stubble fields and plowed ground. When she came to the creck, she| stopped short and stared. Her eyes‘ were not deceiving herâ€"the bridge was down and Carter was on the other side! Dropping weakly to the ground she looked with frightened eyes at the swirling. water. Running water was the one thing that she feared. She had learned to swim because her faâ€" ther had insisted upon it but she had never mastered her fears. She swalâ€" lowed chokingly then bent and unlaced hox chnoas kicked them off and siid her shoos, kicked them off and slid down the bank to the water‘s edge. Ones she gasped, then plunged in, the water reaching for her greedily. She went under and it seemed that all the wator in the world was pressâ€" ing her down relentlessly. The rush of the flood carried her down the stream ; debris struck against her; she recognized her peril and felt a weak desivre to give up the struggle. Then her heart cried out and love put strength into her flagging muscles. Gasping, all but broken, she finally dragged herself to the bank and lay flat on her back while above her the evening star smiled. Wearily she raised hor bruised body, forcing it by sheer will power to go on. The know!â€" edgo that she had not much time spurâ€" red her. She coufd rest when she had warned Carter. Stones bruised her feet, briars tore at her but she stumbled on. With a sob of relief she saw a light shining in the lodge. She smelt the fragrance of a cigar and with a frantic burst of speed ran up the trail and tottered into the house calling weakly "Carâ€" ter!" e _ y @" | â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"4 OFFICIAL REPORT ON p THE FRENCH CURRENCY l I ing of Inflation and Relations @BY BESS McKAE DAVJ With the Bank‘ ¢ Â¥I8 _ In his recent speech to the French U; rhamher <of Deputies, M.

He raisedâ€"her head. and held it against him, his other hand pushing the wet hair from her face; the closed eyolids fluttered and she stared up into his anxious face.

"Carterâ€"oh, Carter!" she called. _ No answer. She staggered to the porch. Through the starlit night she icould dimly see the outlines of a group >of dark figures. They had taken Carâ€" terl mobs.

All the answer that came back to her was the snap of twi‘;;'u;r;iér heavy feet and the ery of a bird. â€" She slipped from the steps and folâ€" lowed them; tried to cry out and found that she had no voice.

He stated that, if the financial restoration of France has been rapidly. realized, it would be unwise to consider the era of difficulties as closed. Dealing with the fear that the revalâ€" orization of the franc is likely to bring about an economic crisis in France and would have an effect on the budâ€" get, he said that this would unquesâ€" tionably be followed by a fall in reâ€" venue, but points out that the comâ€" mission has already reduced expendiâ€" ture voted by the Cha@mber by 155,000,â€" 000 francs. He added that the Stato will repay 2,000,000,000 francs on Dec, 31 to the Bank of France for advances Regarding the foreign exchange holdâ€" ‘ ing of the Banque de France, M. Cheron stated that it was acquired as follows: (1) from the balance of $30,/ 840,836 remaining from the Morgan loan contracted in the United States in execution of an act of 1924, and the convention of July 24,1926; (2) from the result of sales of gold and silver purchased from the public; (3) from the proceeds of loans issued abroad in Swiss francs by the State railways and the railways of Alsaceâ€"Lorraine ceded by the State; (4) from the proceeds of loans issued abroad by French comâ€" \puules and ceded to the bank; (5) from direct purchases in the market. As to the total amount of foreign exâ€" changes he‘d by the Treasury and the bank, he s#id thatâ€"it suffices to say that the same exceods considerably the amount required to meet foreign maturities during the coming year.

Monsieur Painleve, the Premier of FPrance, is a famous mathematician as well as a statesman, and he has one characteristic that clearly belongs to his scientific rather than to his politiâ€" cal side. That is his absentâ€"mindedâ€" ness, some entertaining examples of which are told by the Paris corresâ€" pondent of the London Sunday Timeés. The Promier was recently the prinâ€" cipal guest at a political dinner at the house of one of his friends. and, though all the other guests had been there for half an hour, nobody was surprised at the delay, for the Preâ€" mier‘s idiosyncrasies are well known. But astonishment was provoked when, a quarter of an hour later, a telophone call to his official residence revealed that he had begun the short journey an hour before. A manservant who went downstairsâ€"4t0 investigate, howâ€" ever, found M. Painleve in the careâ€" taker‘s lodge working out aA matheâ€" matical problem, part of the home work of the carotaker‘s son. work of the cerctaker‘s son. In remembering he was M. Painlevoe the mathematician he had forgotten he was M. Painleve the politiciazr and political guest. But he regained everyâ€" body‘s sympathy by admitting that the problem was difficult. Another advenâ€" ture of M. Painleve‘s was to forget the name of his Foreign Minister in full Chamber. â€" On &nâ€"interpellation he said, "Tomorrow may be unsuitable for debate, because my friemd Monâ€" sieurâ€"" and here he stopped, pointing to M.

Queen Mary‘s interest in her poorer subjects is well known but few people realize just @ow many humble homes have reason to be deeply grateful to her at this time of the year. For it is now, when the needs of the poor are greatest, that the garments made and collected by Queen Mary‘s London Needlework Guild are disâ€" tributed through the medium of variâ€" ous charities. _ Queen Mary takes a great interest in the work of the Guild, and personalâ€" ty superintends the unpacking of many of the parcels of garments sent in. She also personally contributes every year six cotâ€"covers in pink, blue, and white wool, which have been crocheted by hersolf. Needless to say, the mothers who receive these gifts are proud woâ€" men indeed. ‘This year Princess Mary has also knritted some warm woolien jumpers for her mother‘s collection of garâ€" ments. Altogether, the number of garâ€" ments sent in was 48,606, as conipared with 47,557 in 1925. PROFESSOR HUTTON FAVORS EARLY START Study of Languages Should Begin With Child. "No civilized country except Canada expects to make language students out of children who are caught so late; possibly Ontario has not expected it either." This statement is made by Professor Maurice Hutton in his anâ€" nual report as Principal of University College, to the Board of Governors of the University of Toronto. "It has long been the glaring blot upon our secondary schools," declares Professor Hutton, "that they get their entrance pupils two or three or even four years too late, What can the average boy or girl be expected to make of foraign languages, ancient or modern, if they cannot begin them at the natural age for beginning foreign languages (as well as native lang> uages), childhood, from the age of eight or nine years to twelve?
