America Ready to Meet Every
Obligation Abroad.
Stock Exchanges in New York and
London Not to Open Before
First o f Coming Year.
Washington, D. C.— Financial forces
o f the government, the wisdom of
some of the most prominent men in
the American banking world and the
friendly counsel of representatives of
Great Britain, were turned Saturday
toward a solution of the problem of a
readjustment of the foreign exchange
market to meet conditions which have
arisen as a consequence of the Euro­
pean war.
For more than three hours the Fed-
er«! Reserve board, Sir George I’aish
and Basil B. Blackett, representing
the British treasury, and some of the
best known bankers in New York, dis­
cussed the situation in all its aspects.
According to those present, there was
not a note o f pessimism heard to mar
the harmony of the conference, and
there was every reason to believe that
all the problems which loomed so large
on the financial horizon a few months
ago would be solved without great
difficulty.
Here are the salient points discussed
in the conference and the results an­
ticipated :
American bankers stand ready to
pay their obligations to Great Britain
in cash. The $100,000,000 gold pool
already formed and $80,000,000 raised
by a New York syndicate to meet New
York C ity’s obligations probably will
suffice to satisfy Great Britain.
Pay­
ment of this total may not be neces­
sary
The New York and London stock ex­
changes will not bo opened |>ossibly be­
fore the beginning of 1916.
A con­
ference between committees of the
two exchanges will consider reopening
beforehand.
The cotton exchanges in New York,
New Orleans and Liverpool are to be
opened as soon as possible. The New
York exchange probably will confer
through a committee with the Liver­
pool exchange before such action is
taken.
7 ico Sedro- Woolley Hank
Robbers Slain by Officers
Bellingham, Wash.— Deputy Sheriff
Wilson Stewart, of Whatcom county,
shot and killed two o f the Sedro-Wool-
ley bank robbers at 12:20 Saturday
morning as they were endeavoring to
creep across the Great Northern bridge
at Ferndale.
Deputy Stewart had rigged up an
electric flashlight in expectation that
the robbers would attempt to cross the
bridge some time during the night.
Hearing cautious footsteps on the
bridge, a Burns detective by the name
of Slater called to the men to halt anil
throw up their hands. Stewart turned
on his light and as the robbers drew
their revolvers the deputy and his
aides opened fire, killing two of the
men instantly.
Both men carried large amounts of
gold suspended about their waists in
money belts.
“ War Tax” Felt Promptly.
Washington, D. C. — No time was
lost by the government Saturday in
preparing to collect the taxes imposed
under the war revenue law. The fol­
lowing telegram was sent to all col­
lectors:
"Beginning with Saturday
tax accrues on all wines sold; 2 cents
a quart on still wines; 20 centa a quart
on champagne, other sparkling and ar­
tificially carbonated wines; fi cents a
quart on liquors, cordials and similar
compounds.
Until stamps are fur­
nished, require dealers who sell to con­
sumers to keep account of sales.”
French Sorely in Need.
Paris — The greatest problem for
France this winter probably will ho to
take care of the people at home. The
army will have the first call on the na­
tional resources. The 37,000,000 peo-
ple at home must get on as best they
can. A wonderful spirit of gentleness
and kindness is moving the French
people to create a community of inter­
est in everything they have, in which
every person shall share.
All private
interests have shriveled up. Never­
theless, contributions from the outside
world are sorely needed

have a game of euchre, We haven’t
played for ever so long."
Slade looked at her, his eyes drawn
into a deep frown. It was true he
wasn’t angry with her. but he was
angry at the thwarting circumstances
that were hemming him In. Her very
manner irritated him now—her quiet
contentment, her calm acceptance of
her failure to meet hie guests and till
her place as mistress of his home mad­
dened him. He was all the more de­
termined to fight for something else—-
to begin his campaign for a governor­
ship and unother woman that moment.
“ You can amuse yourself after I’m
gone.” he answered over his shoulder.
"Then you are going out?" Mary’s
voice echoed the disappointment she
felt.
"Yes.” Slade continued to be mono­
syllabic. “ But I want to have a talk
with you. Mary— we’ve got to come
to some understanding.”
“Why. what— ?’’ Mary began, and
then stopped. For the first time she
noticed his changed manner and his
averted eyes. She started to fumblo
with her workbasket.
"I can't put It off any longer. I—
er— " Slade stopped short. He was
finding this attempt at an "under­
standing" much more difficult than he
had anticipated.
"What is it you’re trying to say,
Dan?" Mary's voice was firmer than
his. “ What’s in your mind? You keep
hinting at something lately and you
never finish it. What is it?"
“ You’re a rich woman in your own
name, Mary. Are you satisfied with
what I ’ve settled on you?"
“ Why, yes," came the quick re­
sponse, as Mary's puzzled eyes
searched his for a reason for the
strange question. Then she added:
"You’ve been mighty good to me, Dan.”
"How would von like to go and live
in the country. Mary?”
Glad surprise tilled the woman’s
eyes. Her thin cheeks flushed uh she
clasped her hands excitedly.
“ Oh, Dan, you know I'd like It.
You're awfully good, father. I knew
length of the r oru "D—n that tvs*
k et!" he exclaimed. “ Can't I ever sea
you without it?"
"Dan!” Mary's gasp of amazement
was the only sound in the room. It
was the first time he had ever been
harsh with her. She shrank back hurt
and frightened.
"Why, good Lord,
Dan, you never did tnat before.”
Then, with quiet dignity, she began
to pick up the basket, the hated darn­
ing cotton, the needles and scissors,
and the little worn thimble. Slade,
watching her slight, stooping figure,
ought to have been ashamed, but hie
anger was flaming hot and he didn't
as much as offer to help.
Mary’s mood changed, too.
"I believe you're doing it to get your
own way," she sputtered, "but you
ain't going to get It. I ’ve got as much
right to ray life as you’ve got to yours."
As she came up to him. he stood
grim and silent, suddenly determined
that If Bhe wouldn't go he would. If
she refused his offer of a home in the
country, then she could have this great
house to herself and he would live at
the club.
"There ain't anything you could ask
of me I wouldn’t do— except— ’’ Mary’s
troubled face was looking into his.
"Except what I ask,” he finished, sar­
castically, and hurried from the room,
curtly ordered his dressing bag packed
and then, hat in hand, hie overcoat on
his arm, came back into the room.
"Did it ever occur to you, Mary, that
you’re a mule?" he asked. “ You’re
sweet and good tempered and amiable
but you'd have given the mule that
came out of Noah's ark points on how
to he stubborn."
“ How often have I failed you in
these years, Dan?”
"You’re failing me now. You won’t
look at things with my eyes."
“ We're not one person, we're two,
Dan," she reminded him, quietly.
"Well, that’s the trouble, we ought
to be one. That’s just what I ’m get­
ting at. We ought to be of one mind.”
"Whose? YourB?" and Mary s sweet
mouth puckered into a very little
smile.
" I ’m done,” Slade decided, hope­
lessly.
"I can remember the time when you
would have thought that was cun­
ning," she reproached him.
“ I'm going to my club, Mary,” he
announced, disregarding her playful
attempt to smooth things over.
Mary gazed at him, bewildered by
his swift changes of mood, hurt by
his attitude, almost angry because he
w'as so unreasonable.
Then love came rushing up into her
heart. After all he was her Dan. What
did this crossness or Ills nervousness
matter? She went up to him, pulled
hie scarf a bit closer round his throat
and as he turned away with a mut­
tered word, waited patiently. Then,
laying her hand on his arm—such a
thin little hand, with his wedding ring
hanging loosely on it—asked: “ Shall
I wait up for you?”
Slade’s face worked convulsively.
She didn't understand, poor little soul.
He was going away for good, for all
time, and she was asking if she would
wait up for him. More than once be­
fore she had asked that question of
him, the question that from a wife’s
lips, carries with it unspoken, tender
pleading. For a space he was torn
with emotions he could not define, had
hardly expected himself to feel. Some­
thing bade him turn back upon ambi­
tion and pride and clasp into his arms
this little woman who had worked for
him, with him, who had had faith in
him when he was poor, and who had
struggled and cooked and slaved for
him that he might rise to his present
position.
But he struggled against the feeling,
fought it back and conquered.
“ No, don’t wait up for me.”
"A ll right,” Mary agreed. "I won’t,
if you don’t want me to,” and then,
with a roguish emlle, "but I will wait
up for you all the same.”
Slade was touched, but he stiffened
his shoulders. Wealth he had won,
honors he meant to have— and Kath­
erine Strickland.
"Good-night, Mary," he called, coldly,
as he hurried out of the room.
Left alone, Mary stood watching
him. a forlorn little figure.
"Why, he didn't kiss me.” She hur­
ried to the door. "Dan, you forgot
something, Dan!”
Slade, hastening to the door, halted,
hesitated, turned hack.
"You come right back here and kiss
me," Mary demanded, affectionately.
"Such didoes; You kiss me.” She
raised her face for the kiss she thought
was "good night” and which he meant
as "good-by." Slade stooped and laid
his lips oil hers, gently, reverently,
then hurried out, almost as if he were
afraid to stay a minute longer.
"Such didoes," Mary laughed to her­
self. She looked around the great
empty room. It suddenly struck her
that she had never really been happy
in this room. Riches had proved a
burden rather than a pleasure. They
had robbed her of Dan's devotion, his
confidence, his gaiety. She hastened
to turn out the lights, shuddering ns
she did so. She grabbed her work-
basket from the table and suddenly
overcome with fright in the great
silent shadowy room, fled to the lighted
hall, calling: "Susie, Susie— "
