A spinster,s Daring Stroke.

He moved nearer and nearer to
her. She expected this; she had
been expecting it for more than
thirty years. She did not stir.
Only six inches OF sofa separated
them.
Presently there was a spasmodic
movement OF his arms, as if he
would-But he didn't. The sight
of third person sitting in the cor
ner opposite checked him up.
1t was the crisis of her life. Not
a moment was to be lost. Leaning
toward him she whispered with
tragic intensity:
"Don't mind mamma, Mr.. Haw-
ley; she's stone blind"
Two minutes later her hair
looked as if cyclone had been toy
ing with it.

Well-informed members Of the oil trade DO not be-
leve that any union OF the Russian and American
petroleum interests has been effected. or Is really
near at hand. The development Of the oil industry
in Russia in the last few years has taxed the re-
sources OF the American rehners In competition.

American oil have been heavily increased. The Rus
