CHICAGO, March 7.-WHEAT-There has
been a weak wheat market, mostly intu-
enced by the prediction of clear weather
with no low temperatures, which caused
any anxiety overthe recent rains to dis
appear and started the belief of an early
spring. The northwest markets were even

~CORN-Market was strong early on the
general rains, but the near futures were
weak. There was liberal selling by certain
and the result was that market lost its
early advance. Weakness in wheat also
had its influence. There was some open
selling of July by Patten. The commission
houses sold both May and July. The March

She dropped the cloak on the floor, gave
her head a light, careless shake so that the
hat tumbled of Of its own accord, and stood
bowling before him. a quiet smile upon her
lips and her hand upon her heart, after the
manner Of one that takes as a thing Of
course the applause OF a crowded thester.
The young man remained amazed and
abashed. He was silent, chiefly because he
did not know how much this girl might
know, nor what might be her meaning in
thus laying bare his poor articles and self
concealments.
She bowed again more mockingly than
ever.
Shall l have the honor to lead your
honor to your honor's chamber? ~ she said.
Then Maurice Raith. who, though on two
occasions had acted the ninny, where girls
we're concerned was very far indeed from
being enc, recovered himself.
Madam he said with a superb bow,
Il am deeply Indebted for the instruction
you have afforded me, and l shall not fail
to profit by it-when next l enter an inn
and find myself served by a pretty waiting
woman!"
But the hnesse. though by no means
thrown away, was utterly rejected by Mis-
tress Yvette.

laughingly, half scornfully, good master

ance."
And l also am honored," said Maurice,
speaking roughly, "it is a pleasure to me
to be here. The wine is better and the
girls are p%rettier than they are in my part
OF the country. What more can a man
want? And that reminds me-upon my
word had forgot. go bring me a can of the
best, lass. Wine seals friendship, they say
or perhaps because you are so pretty,
you would prefer to seal it in another
way?"
He approached the girl with one arm out
stretched, his whiplash caught up in the
other, in the traditional attitude Of Jolly
wagcners when they encounter the prettiest
serving maid of an inn. But Yvette Foy
did not move an inch, nor did the nalf-
scornful expression Of her eyes change.
Some time before her father had disap-
peared down one of the many passages
which led from the landing where they had
met.
II will see hat your room is prepared"
he had said. "Yvette will show you the
way when you are ready"
The two young people were all alone.
Yet in spite OF this direct assault, Yvette
Foy stood with her hand still on the latch
OF the door.
"Ah. no." she said, that might take IN

but not Yvette Foy. Good Master Wag-

She laughed loud. So deep and rich was
her contralto that it was almost like the
tremolo OF an organ. There was a certain
palpitating CULVER about II which sympa-
thetically thrilled the listener somewhere

And she took the long carriers whip out
OF his yielding hand. set his groad, much
worn hat on the back of her small, shapely
head, hiding the great heaped masses Of
her darkling hair. She snatched a great
wagoners coat, called a houpelande and
threw It about her shoulders, buttoning It
with quick. nervous fingers.

that the girls eyes we're upon him. A
smile slowly formed itself upon her lips,
which Of themselves we're gracious. knowl-

Maurice Raith, struck with sudden fear
that he would not be as successful in pre-
serving his incognito as he had hoped, obe-
diently stretched cut his hand. She did not
take it in her palm, but let 1t lie lightly on
the back Of her wrist. Then with her other
hand she turned the young mans fingers

ingly, but more as il she were making an
experiment.

who should attempt to despoil him Of it.
As was her custom, Bet composed herself
stolidly to watch her husband through the
hours of the day till II should be her lords

nothing since the night before. Yet she
never once thought of preparing food for
herself which Billy would be unable to par
take. She would sit and watch that no
harm befel him in these strange places, per-
fectly assured that her lord, awaking to
find himself in a strait betwixt the deep
sea of a racking headache and the devil OF
a temper, would certainly infict corporal
punishment upon her.
Al the invitation of Martin Foy, landlord
Of the Bon Chretien, Maurice mounted the
stairs. which assembled circularly at an angle
OF the stables.
To those unacquainted with the plan of
such southern houses II might have been
remarkable how at each turn OF the stairs
the remembrance OF the strange entrance
hall beneath was blotted out. At the first
the ammonical stable smell was suddenly
left behind. Al the second-there in front
Of the ascending guest was a fringed mat
lying on the little landing. At the third
turn. loi Maurice found himself in a wide
hall with door lighted from the front, with
an outlook upon a courtyard In which was
a Judas tree In full leaf with seats OF wicker
and rustic branches set out. while here and
there in the shade stood small round tables
Pleasantly retired-aIl showing a degree
Of refinement TO which Maurice had been =
stranger ever since he left those inns upon
the great roads OF England which are Justly
held to be the wonder of the world.
But, Notwithstanding, considering that he
was in one of the most remote corners OF
France and had just mounted up from a
stable, what wonder is 1t that. Martin Foy
still plotting him, Maurice stood suddenly
aghast when, at the opening OF a door, a
girl stood before him.
She wore a dress Of some rough surfaced
stun, excellently made. which fitted every
curve Of her 1.-THE young figure. Motionless
as she stood, there was a suggestion OF

masses Of her hair. 1t gave to her dark
beauty a Spanish suggestion. and, indeed,
she needed no other ornament.
My daughter, Ivette!" said the landlord
OF Bon Chretien" for an introduction.
The girl did not move at all. Only her
red lips parted slightly and she threw into
her great black eyes something for a mo-
ment personal TO Maurice Raith-something
also that he never forgot.

last moment, chiefly with a sort OF disin-
clinatiop to cut all ties which bound him
to his old life.

their simple and easy standard. In these
regions. as in Spain, only travellers Of the

Raith, quickly, bowling complacently in his

The girl laughed and not SO contemptu-
ously as before.
"Ah, that is BETTER she said. l will not
betray you. YOU shall be Pierre the Wag-
oner to all the world and you will. But to

ITO you" he questioned, seeing that
she paused.
Anything you please!" she said, with
strange straight eyes and fixed smile.
There fell a silence between them which
endured longer than Maurice Raith felt to
be altogether comfortable. Yvette Foy ap-
peared to wait for something to be said on
his side. But since he did not speak, she
reverted suddenly to her former scoflng
manner

To Love and To Hate.

The auberge OF the Bon Chretien" in
the village OF La Cavalerie, in the district
of the Cevennes, held by the rebel Can't
sards, had on a time been the residence
OF the ancient Prior OF the order Of the
Monks Templar, who had indeed built the
walls and first held possession Of the town.
AS usual, the innkeeper was the richest
man in the little commune, though not
for the usual reason. He had not originally
belonged to La Cavalerie, but being of the
Camisard opinion he had transported him.

was large, and to the English eye, some

cony, with it's outlook upon white road
and gray parapeted wall, made up for all
else. In the chamber they found Martin
Foy with his own hands putting the finish,

land to the poor folk in sore travail on

AS Martin Foy spoke there came instinct
lively a kind OF chant into his voice. which
Maurice had learned to recognize as the
sign-manual OF the Camisard prophet or
high preacher. II was 70 o'clock and be-
meath ZANE the sound Of a ehsnted psalm.
Martin Foy started and went rapidly to-

heave OF relief. Many things, the magma

like a millrace before, had grown sud
