T RE LLY was abeautiful hat. Alonein Madam's win-dow, flanked on oneside by a wisp ofwhite veil, and onthe other by amauve parasol, .it

nee ed no further emphasis of itssprintg loveliness.

On an impulse Cunningham wentin and bought it. He murmuredsomething about a mythical sister,and madame accepted the explanationplacidly. So the hat.was sent home,and was enthroned on a little tablein the alcove of Cunningham's sittingroom, a monument to masculine folly,and a temptation to little Anne.

Little Anne was the landlady'sniece; she was eighteen, and she hadcome into Cunningham's line of visionfor several years, simply as a slimchild, with dark braids hanging downher back.

When she finished school she helpedher aunt with the lighter housework,and it was thus that she discoveredthe hat. She tried it on, and awokefor the first time to a knowledge ofher beauty.

Down in the kitchen little Annewas still at work. Her aunt was sick;Cunningham's breakfast rolls wereyet to be made; it was midnight, andit seemed to her that she had washeddishes since dawn.

In the morning, when she took upCunningham's Sunday breakfast ofsweetbreads and bacon, she apolo-gizsed for the heaviness of the rolls.

"I'm not very good at' such things,"she said.

She • i•'d it On.

For s ttnned moment she ,stoodand looked at him. Then she flunngOUeat her hands in a passiOnate ges-ture.

"Oh," she said, "I' don't believe ingiving teas on Sunday - I thinkI erybody oughtto have a little rest--- sta. I had pannsed to goout2 where fort i w•holb day-i oe rkimed in toit dark kitchen

until I can't breathe. And you liveup here with your violets and yourpretty things, and let other peopleslave for you."

As the last flaming word burnedinto his consciousness, she stumbledover the threshold and wa, gone!

Cunningham stood ih th,'middle ofthe floor, and said to hiros f, overand over again, "Oh, you selfish pig,you selfish pig."

Presently he weat downstairs andfound her in the kitct'-4 with herhead on the table, cryirg.

"Oh, look here," he said, awkward-ly, "you mustn't. You go out andhave a good time-"

She seemed such a. child that heobeyed an impulse to ',mfort her ashe would a child.

"Put on your hat and have a ridewith me. My car will be around ina few minutes."

"Oh, I mustn't""Nonsense.""But you should see my hat-it's

ancient."His inspiration seemed heavenborn.

"I have a lovely one upstairs.""I know-I-I tried it on once.""Try it on again and let me see."For a moment she hung back, then

followed him upstairs. Curtains of

silvery green hid the alcove. Shewent behind them and called back,"May I wear the veil?"

"Wear anything."Then, all at once, her voice cried, I

"Look, oh, look at me," and with aquick gesture she parted the silverycurtains, drawing them about her Iagain, so that her old skirt was hid- 1

ey uh*e like a pair of chilUdren. Then out of the following si-lenoe he said slowly, "Do you knowwhy I was going to have those peo- iple to tea-all of the pretty ladies?"". No." 1"I had a fancy-or rather my friend I

Carpenter suggested t--that I letthem try on the hat, and the onewho was loveliest in it-that I choose Ia.wife that way---"

"Oh!" All the joy went out of her Iface. The curtains swung back, re- Ivealing her shabbiness. 6 "Oh, but you iwouldn't."

"You child," he tried' to say it light- ly, but his soul cried tO hlim, -"Mar;, 1you have found her! "" ... 1..

His eyes as -he atc'hed her foldup the veil and lay the hataway gaveno hint of the knowledge that hadcome to him.

"Aren't you going to wear it?" hedemanded.

"it wouldn't fit in with the rest ofme. No, I'll leave the hat for yourlovely lady."

"Suppose you are the lovely ladyT"'"Oh, please-""Oh, little Anne, listen." He came

over and took her hands in his. "WhenI was a boy I used to make up istory of a dream lady who livedamong the violets on the bank of aclear little stream. No real womanhas ever fitted in until I saw yourface-Just now-"

And so it came about that in thejoy and beauty of the Easter morn.ing they went tO church together,and Cuanifghan, kneeling somewhatawkwardly beside little Anne, had hismoment of resurrection.(Copyrglht by Associated Literary Pry J

LARGE SUM FOR RESERVES

Capital Decided Upon After Many In-stitutions File Reports Showing

Their Condition.

Washington.-The new federal re-serve banking system will start busi-ness with a total authorized capital ofabout $100,000,000 for all reservebanks, no matter how many institu-tions the organization committee de-cides to set up. This fact became ap-parent when figures were made publicfrom all national banks responding tothe last call of the comptroller of thecurrency, made March 4.

The statement issued giving thesefigures will be the last 6f the kindbefore the formal launching of theystem, ,- t --i'~s ie =organtsatea~

changes its present purposes, and de-lays the announcement of the reservedistricts and cities. The total capitaland surplus of the 7,494 national banksreporting was given at about $1,788,-000,000. Under the reserve act eachnational bank must; subscribe 6 percent of its capital and.sgrplus to thecapital of the reserve bank in its dis-trict, and 6 per cent of this total wouldbe about $107,000,000. There were on-ly 7,465 national banks who signifiedin the' legal' time their intention Itoenter the system, so that the totalwould be somewhat reduced, but theentrance into the system of statebanks and trust companies will tend

.tooffset this, and it is possible that;I with these institutions figured in, thecapital of all reserve banks will benear $110,000,000.

FAMOUS DETECTIVE SHOWS

IT IS NOT FRANK.

MURDERER CAN NOT ESCAPE

Does Not Believe Su eme Court Can

Ignore Facts That fave Been De.

veloped-Tells How Became

Interested in Case.

Chicago.-William J. Burns, the de-tective, declared that he knew who imurdered Mary Phaghan, the Atlanta(Ga.) girl, for whose death Leo M.Frank is under sentence of death.

Whether the murderer was Frank or asomeone else, in his opinion, Burnswould not say, but he intimated thatfrom his investigations and comparingtheir results with the conclusions ofthe coroner's jury, that he dd not Ithink Frank the sort of man capableof making the attack on the girl al-leged to have preceded her murder.

Burns, on his arrival from Kansas

City, related the story of his investi-gation. He said his attention firsthad been called to it by a young man Ifrom Atlanta, who was a passenger on Ia steamer on which Burns was return-ing from Europe. The young man ex-pressed his regret that Burns had notbecome interested in the case before

the arrest and conviction of Frank. 4Through him Burns read in newspa-pers of the trial and concluded, fromthe accounts he saw, that Frank wasguilty.

Later, while he was in Key West,three citizens of Atlanta, includingf two personal friends of Frank, sawB the detective and asked him to under-

take an investigation of the case.At first, Burns said, he refused on

the ground that if Frank were guiltyC his investigation and final conclusionto that effect would only hurt the de-

fendant, while if the investigationtended to throw doubt of guilt on him

it might have to thwart justice.Frank's friends declared that they

believed he had not begn given a fair 4trlakl . that,~ he. was-;A ~i at: ht•-crime, but that if guilt$y they wantedundisputed evidence of his guilt.

Burns then took the case. His in-

vestigations soon showed him, he said,first, that public clamor after a "crime

wave" had resulted in the police mak-ing extraordinary efforts to adduce"evidence tending to convict Frank,"

and, second, that a report making outFrank a man of abnormal character-istics was commonly circulatedthrough the city, putting public opin-ion strongly against him.

His inquiries then convinced Burnsthat Frank was a normal man. On

the other band, the testimony of phy-sicians was to the effect that the onewho attacked Mary Phaghan was ab-

normal.,Then Burns interviewed many of

the witnesses who testified in the case.

At the coqclusion he said he was con-

vinced that he knew the murderer;"There was no mystery aboilt the

murder of Mary Phaghan," said

Burns. "The tracks of the murdererSwere plain and there is no doubt as

to his identity."The story will all clear in a few

days. I have made a complete report-to Frank's attorneys in Atlanta and ina few days.it will be given out."

I 1.0 longer be a problem, was the opin-ion expressed by Dr. Isidore Dyer,(lean of Tulane medical department.

"I notice that an exhibition of pre-r veultive medicine is included, and thisalone offers from the New Orleanspoint. of view an excellent opportunity

I of demonstrating the great work thatSbhas been accomplished by Tulane ini's medical school," said Dr. Dyer. "Itwill be possible to show in an exact' wa.y the great possibilities of future

"If the work which Colonel GorgasShas done in Havana and Panama

"While I have not been an -euthusliastic supporter of the exposition I be-lieve that every citizen should lendhis assistance to the enterprise. Car-ried out as planned it will be a greate exposition. ' Its value as an educa-a tonal force is derived in part from

the fact that this is the first timer in the history of New Orleans that a
