REYNOLDS, Chicago Banker, PR T T T e e e I e T It is time to tear off the mask of false gayety, halt the carnival of exe | = travagance, and get down to brass tacks. We've been trying to lift oure | Ne¥5es, Sarbed In, Sartng, baliet akirts selves by our boot straps long enough. Conditions in the United States have reached a point where federal reserve assistance and other major influences of tiding over the effects of the World war have been all but exhausted. Individual effort is required to eave the situation. The clock has been turned back thirty years. This nation and other nations of the world must realize this fact and go to work as they had to do thirty years ago. All profiteering must cease. Protection of labor or any individual class can no longer be obtained by legislation. Those re- sources have been exhausted. I am not in favor of lending vast sums of money to European nations .unless we know that the money is to be spent.in the upbuilding of indus- tries and the putting of the nmséa to work and not in false extravagances, “Jelea much-in..America, { ventu) PRIZE ‘FOR BRITISH MUSEUM Irgtitute Presented by 8ir Rider Hag. gard With Ring Taken From Peruvian Mummy.

Fifty-five vears aftet he firsl saw the ring it still remained vividly in Sir Rider Haggard's memory, and he described its appearance in a story which is now on the eve of publica- tion. Shortly after he had done so, he chanced to remew acquaintance with his former schoolmaster’s family, and made inquiries about the ring, of which he eventually became. the pos- sessor, and he has now given it to the British museum, Albanian “Mun" shot wuh Rife. The Albanian male is a creature of strange extremes, according to Ken- neth L. Roberts, in & Balkan Jottings” in the Saturday Evening Post. When encountered in’ his mountain fast- or baggy felt trousers—according to the section of the country in which he lives—and & half portion jacket with pompons on the elbows, he is what an American cavalryman would call a bad hombre. . The Albanian carries a silver- mounted rifle, a silver-mounted re- volver attached to his person by a heavy silver chain, and a- waist-band full of edged tools and miscellaneous kitchen knives.

Eva Novak is again his leading woman, and is said to give her usual performance—with skill plus beauty.

They sald you'd come over here; but that must have been more than two hours ago.” His gaze went on past her to me drawn hangings of the room to the right; and he seemed to appreclate their significance; for. his face whit- ened under its tan, and an odd hush came suddenly upon him. “Is. it Ben, Connie?™ ha whispered. “Ben . . . come back?* He drew the curtains ‘partly- open.

A side pocket produced an old briar; there was noth- ing else. Then Alan walked restless- 1y about, awaiting Spearman. Spear- man, he believed, knew' this man; Spearman had not even ventured upon moditied denial until he was certain that the man was dead; and then he had answered so as not to commit himself, pending learning from Con- stance what Luke had told. But Luke had said nothirig about Spearman. It had been Corvet, and Corvet alone, of whom FLuke had spoken; it was Corvet whom he had accused ; it was Corvet who had given him money. Was it conceivable, then, that there had been two such events in Corvet’s life? That one of these events concerned the Miwaka and Spearman and some one—some one “with a bullet hole above the eye"— who had “got” Corvet; and that the other event had concerned Luke and something else? It was not conceiva- ble, Alan was sure; it was. all one thing. If Corvet had to do with the Miwaka, then Luke had had to do with it too. And Spearman? But if Spear- man had been involved in that guilty thing, had not Luke known it?" Then why had not Luke mentioned Spear- man? Or had Spearman not been real- Iy “involved? Had it been, perhaps, only evidence of knowledge of what Corvet had done that Spearman had tried to discover and destroy? Alan went to the door and opened it, as he heard Spearman upon the steps again. Spearman waited only until the door had been reclosed be- hind him. “Well, Conrad, what was '_ha idea-of bringing Miss Sherrill Into this?” “I didn’t bring her in; I’ tried the best I could to keep her out.” “Out of what—exactly?” “You know better than'I do. You know exactly what it is] You kunow that man, Spearman; you know what he came here for. T don’t znean money ; I mean you know why Bhe came heére for money, and why he got it. I tried, as well as I could, to make him tell me; but he wouldn't do it. There's disgrace of some sort here, of course— disg that involves my father and, 1 think, you too.
