Wheat-Present reports show that the
condition of winter wheat IS much more
favorable than IL was week ago. The
entire southwest was swept away with
rains last week aud the wheat crop has
made more important advances IN this
section of the country than N any other
In fact the drouth seems TO be thorough
II broken and there are prospects that
seeding operations IN southern Kansas,
Oklahoma, Tennessee and Kentucky
will be renewed this week Continued
heavy receipts in the northwest has 4
very depressing effect on our wheat mar
ket and the conclusion Il becoming
quite general that these receipts are
limited 10 the carrying capacity of var
ious roads. The talk of European war
seems to be wearing itself out IN its
effect upon the marker, and we do not
believe wheat will advance from that
score substantially unless hostilities are
actually begun. There was another
hszvv increase IN the visible, nearly
million bushels, and cables came weaker
and lower all around There does not
seem to be any support at present, but
remember the market always looks the
sJckest at the bottom. and II may De wise

CHAPTER I.

Meryon awoke with the issue Of an
interesting dream in doubt. Terah had
admitted that she loved him; the prince
had seemed disposed to hear reason;
but just then the purple and gold her
aldic heron which formed the central
device Of his highness' state banner de-
tached itself from the surrounding en-
broidery and flew viciously at Meryons
head. He heard Terah's voice raised
in warning, and saw two black noun
tains at the verge Of a dcsOlate plain,
sunGered from each other by rugged
dehle. The sun was setting behind the
mOuntains-and he aWOke.
He yawned and glanced at the long
silver chain by which a lamp Of pierced
brass depended from the ceiling. 4
ray Of sunlight from the east window
rested on it-by which token he knew
It was about nine O'Clock.
The room in which he lay was beau
tlful and-as the bedchamber Of a mod
ern young AmeTican-snSular
Lofty and Of good size, it was rather
narrow for It's length. Polished mar
bic of tender hues paved the floor, the
central part Of which was depressed
several inches below the ends, and In
basin In the depression leaped and fell
the slender jet of a fountain. a high
dado glowed with oriental tiles colored
like fading sunsets, and the walls above
were hung with tapestries stained as
with crushed roses and violets. Higher
still was a wide border Of dark brown
wood exquisitely carved, and above this
the four windows, a foot high by four
times that width. Silks Of mellow tone
draped the ceiling.
Along three sides Of the south end Of
the chamber extended n broad divan,
part of which served Meryon as bed
Here and there about this dim, lovely
room stood vases of wrought bronze
and fine porcelain. Within reach of
his arm was q triple gong on n carved
wood stand, with a hammer hanging
by q silken cord. Meryon struck thrice
upon this graceful instrument, and
three soft notes OF an octave's interval
tingled on the air AS they subsided the

coffee, cakes and cigarettes.
Had the figure been fully draped, you
would have taken 1t for that of girl,
so refined and beautiful were the
auulline features and the shaggy cloud
of soot-black. fine-spun hair, which fell
on the shoulders. But the supple body.
naked from the waist up, was that of

skirt of dark blue gossamer stuff. with

You're a sight for sore eyes. Did any

Terah-God bless her! Maybe only an
artist who has painted your portrait
as often as / have could see it in your

1T is A MISTAKE

1t is mistake to think that life is
all bed of roses.
1t is a mistake to 60 through life
and neglect the laws of health and
life.
1t is mistake at any time to allow
sickness or suffering of a serious
nature to come upon you.
1t is a mistake not to take advan.
tage of the best discoveries of SCI
ence for preventing disease and
banishing pain.
1t is a mistake if anyone has not
learned that the best and most SCI
entific preparation for accomplish
ing this is Warmers Safe Cure.
1t is a mistake that people who are
properly Informed and warned do
not take advantage of the warning
and thus insure happiness and pro-
long life.
