How many bushels have you got p
asked Tamblyn.
Miss Caroline told him. He drew from
his pocket a bulky roll of bills He count
ed out three fourths of them and laid them
on a chair.
''One-twenty five is all III give you,
he said; ''there it is. Take it or leave it.
I'm tired, and l won't talk a minute
longer. -
But he assured himself that, neverthe-
less, he must have that wheat-and he
was not going step further for it; he had
made good bargains all along the line, and
he was tired and didn't care Miss Ter

Caroline.
Miss Caroline, - he said, let me have
FIVE dollars out of that Blamed if don t
think the wife and the whole house ought

Miss Caroline, with just faint flush on
her face, handed him a hundred dollar bill.
Spend every cent of it, Simpson, she
commanded, ''and we Il go back and have
a jamboree. .
For she was rich--rieh beyond her

excitement was over she sighed.

replied, ''of course | do not have to go. -
"Tm glad, said Miss Caroline, "that

Louise, that YOU do not have to go.
As for Willoughby g. Schenck, having
his wheat, he made his deliveries without
materially affecting the market; the opera
tors still maintained the price, assuming
that Sehenek' demand was still in force.
Whereupon Sehenck, whose activity never
ceased. turned about and began to sell
again. In another week wheat had dropped
10 dollar-ten, and Schenck made on that
week deal all that he had lost on that of
the week before.

government should find something out
from her.
