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.
"You will send for your little ones,"
he said, "and tomorrow wIll be for all
