He could see how 1T all happened. A
foolish quarrel, then silence on both

looked upon the woman as widow,
and the other world, the world of art,

The artist remembered the gossip he
had heard of Somers being a widower,
or something in the same strain, re-

why he had not before noticed the
wonderful resemblance of his little

One of the most successful grain
dealers in Louisville, man who has
made large fortune in his business,
admitted to friend the other day that
while he had been in the trade nearly
thirty years, in every year of which he
had dealt in wheat, he lost money in
those operations season after season
without single exception. The mar
ket had gone up and had gone down;
there had been droughts and freezes,
short crops and big crops. booms and
corners; he had studied the situation
with care and intelligence, but what
ever profit he made one time would be
swallowed up at another. The result
was always the same. He thought he
knew something about wheat, but no
part of his large fortune had come from
| his operations in this great cereal.
