The secretary of the treasury is a member ex-otllcio of the federal re serve board and has a large part In its guiding policies. Mr. AlcAdoo has advocated the policy of allowing banks a rather free hand in the coni duct of their ordinary business with a minimum of restrictions by the federal reserve board. Mr. Glass, as one of the originators of the federal' reserve system, has concurred generally in this attitude. Among many other problems the new secretary will also be confronted with supervising the work of the war finance cor)oration during the read justment period. He becomes auto muatically chairman of the American section of the American high com mission charged with the duty of strengthening business and financial relations between lthe United States and Latin-American countries.

T WAS the mournful est face ever was, 4 4 though rotund, smooth as a woman's, with VP kIndly but serious eyes. Their owner was thoughtfully pacing the sidewalk in front of the hotel. Suddenly he ./ halted and his face shone as with an in nspiration. "The chimes of Christias eve," he murmured, and a silc. peaceful, reverential, all good will and gentleness, told that his soul was drinking In the sweet music of the distant bells, their notes mellow and soft as silver beads dropped within a crystal dish. "Fire I fire I" someone yelled. "It's the schoolhouse. No, it's Benton's store." The man watched the firetruck pass but did not join the rushing throngs. Ile entered the hotel, sank into an armchair and sat immersed in meditation. le was not aroused until an hour had passed by. Two men took the chairs just beyond him. "That settles Santa Claust" spoke one of them. "Much of a blaze?" "Enough to burn to ashes the Santa outfit the store had ordered from the city." "We must rig up a home-made Kriss Kringle, then. There's no time to lose, either. Those little ones will be on hand at the hall In two hours." The sad face of their listening neigh bor lit up with responsive sentiment. "Excuse me, gentlemen," he Apoke, "but do I understand that you''re look ing for a Santa Claus?" "That's it," nodded the man nearest to him. "I'd like the job. I'd enjoy the jol lity. I am the Humpty Dumapty of a stranded company, homeward bound. In my wardrobe, I am sure, I have a very notable Kriss Kringle disguise." Thus it was that Robert Merrill, ex circus clown and famous Humpty Duipty, set juvenile Belleville wild with delight that memorable Christ inns eve. "You have won all hearts," enthused Mr. Arnold Drew to the great star of the occasion. "You have gloriously saved the day. Of course you will be my guest." itobert Merrill hesitated. Then he glanced at four little happy-faced chil dren in the Drew automobile. "Per haps I can make up a Christmas spe cial for those cherubs," he sid. For two hours at the Drew home Robert Merrill fascirated the little ones. le exercised the best that was in him of grimace and contortion to set them wild with delight. They were sInging a carol at the platno when Mr. Drew beckoned, led him into a small room and proceeded to a closet. "We have a jewel of a governess for thme children and this is her seowing room," he said, going to a cabinet. "This may be acceptabile after your arduous exercise," and he set a dlecan ter andl a glass on the table. He was almost startled at the sud den change that camne over his guest. Robert Merrill's features grew stern. "I want to show you something," he saId, andl bared one arm. Across its surface was revealed a date. "Ten years back-you note it? The circus tattoo man did that. It conmmemnorat ed the (lay when I realized that my reckless wvay had brought me to pov erly, had cost me a loving wife and two little cherubs. Ten years-twventy -a lifetime, still wvill I seek them the world over to atone for my cruel nleg lect I" "You brave, true man !" cried Ar nold D~rew shamedly, and swept the tab~le clear and went back to tihe room where the children wvere, leaving his guest to recover Is composure. "hwme I" Robert Merrill started with a thlrill. lie turned to confront a sweet, patient faced woman, whose eyes were fixed upon the tattoo chronicle as though fascinatted. "It is true?" she whIspered, and tottered, and he cauight hter in his arms, and the joy of his own soul seemed imparted to that of the lost one found-his wIfe I "At last I" hIs tones vibrated. "You believe? You forgive? Our little ones?" "Sate in the care of kInd frIends. I have toiled for them Bo gladly, think lag you (lead. My husband, you have redeemed all thlose bitter, cruel years I" Arnold Drew, returning, stood spell bound viewing the reunited twain and comprehending.
