A year after the office boy brought a note to Van I)iek which, when he read it .caused him to call lor his hat and coat and leave the office at the busiest hour of his busy day. He went down into a poor quarter of the city and peered up at a succession of dingy doorways until he found the number that corresponded to tho one in the note which he still held in his hand. An old woman admitted him when i he knocked and led him through a uaiiwuy into an in-lighted wtndowless room. In the gloom Van Diek went eloso to a poor kind of sofa In a corner, and stood looking down. "Master?" said the maid timidly. He sat down beside her. There was a quantity of golden hair lying over her pillows, and out of it looked her palo face with its pair of worshipping eyes. "I'm pretty near through," she said simply, "and I sent for you to give you this." She opened his hand and laid something in it. When he could boc It he found it was the ring. "My poor child?" She cried as she put up her hand to stop htm. '^Vhat that man said was true," she said. "I was a bad one. and had been for a Ions time. I was playing off innocence that time. I had this in my pocket then, am I was scared for fear you have them search me. But I wanted to tell you," she went on brokenly, "that you was the first person that ever thought that 1 might be speaking the truth or that I might be good; and I tried then to teil you, after the rest had gone, anJ to give you back the ring, and then I couldn't, because it would have been to take j away your trust ia me?the only trust I I'd ever had." "And I tried to tell you then," said Van Diek, gently, "that you wore the first fellow being I had ever met who had thought me worthy of trust of any kind. I had always been expected to be harsh and selfish and cruel and morally wrong. When I saw raj -elf in your eyes I saw for the first time j what I might be. If I live better now it is because you and 1 passed that day on the road of life." She looked at him radiantly. "I ain't never taken anything since that day," she said.

Advocates of the postal savings bank bill that has passed the United I States senate and is now under con- I sideration by the hense committee ! havo laid great stress ou what they I term the success of this system of ' savings banks in foreign countrh ' and the pending bill is modeled largely on the Canadian law; the argu- j went is that if the system is a sue- 1 cess in other count"Irs it ought to be ! in this?no matter whether it is need- i ed here or hot?as if the United j States shoal 1 have and must have | every "good thing" that is going | around. But da we need such a svs- \ tem here when we already have a sav- ! ings bank system of another sort that [ is highly satis*notary? The average deposit in American savings banks, all of which are private instituti ins in no wise connected with the federal government. Is almost four times as large as the aver age uepusu lor iMirope, Asia, Ainea, Oceania, Canada and so on, and the average deposit per capita of the population is nearly six times greater here in the United States than in the other areas of the world just men-, tioned. This doesn't look as if we were lacking in savings bank facilities or as if the people in this country need to be taught thrift through a borrowed system. It is significant, too, that of the $15,389,672,014 of savings bank deposits in the whole world $5,078,735,379 belongs to Americans?considerably more than one-third. These figures are from a recent compilation made from official reports by the secretary of the savings bank section of the American Bankers' Association. and in this is disclosed something even more significant, namely: That cf the more than $15,000,000,000 of savings deposits throughout the world about $13,000,000,000 is deposited with private sav mgs nanus; i::m is, app: oxun.-ut-iy percent is in private hands and undcT private rnanagcmentt, while only 13 percent is intrusted to the care of governments. Furthermore, the average deposit in the private savings banks of foreign countries 13 $140, while in their postal banks it is only ^49.33; hero in the United States the average deposit is $381.28.

[ The good quality of the sires used has had much to do in bringing about such satisfactory rpsnlts. The farmers. also, for the most part have been consistent In their chosen line of j breeding. They have stayed with the Clyd^f.dnl^ through all these* years and | the result Is that many of the mares I are registered and bring an enhanced I prio" for breeding purposes.

An experienced slier p breeder say3 that the grading and culling of breedIn? ewes is often neglected in this country and as a result quite a percentage of them are shearing less 1 than seven pounds of wool. Why i should a c-we that shears from f> to 7 pounds only, be bred year after ypar when one that would shear nine pounds could he handled as cheaply? Could not such a ewe he detected at shearing time by devoting a little extra attention to examining the fleeces as they are taken off, and the ewes ear-mark?d or branded in such way that next seisor. the privilege of motherhood would he d 'tiled her? A ewe shearing two or three pounds more would he n good bargain at double the price the cull is sold as mutton.
