to know that outside influences were rather
restful, after all
Then MorsOn came IN and sat beside her and
held her hand,-tenderly, Just he had held
his fathers hand IN the hut on the river
bank. He told her he loved her more than a
million emeralds,-loved her as he loved the
memory OF his dead; for to him she was
holy thing, even if she was a spitfire. She
wanted to be furious with him: but he laughed
and kissed her fury all away, for It was tire
some to stay angry all the time. Besides, It
was so, so, sweet for this big, brown boy TO be
sitting there beside her on the bed! 1t WASH
quite proper, though; but her own mother
was there too, and she said it was all right; so
Ealda knew, OF course, that II was all right,
and went to sleep and didn't dream any more
Perhaps the spirit OF her mother made her
sleep, promising to tell her many things that
she did not know: to tell her she had lost
something, and would never want to ask It
back again; that a beautiful devil had come
up out of the sea, TO steal the choicest gem
that her father owned. She did not know
that IN those few, feet moments when the
thief hung, gray and helpless, to the rail, he
had done far more to filch her love than by
the passionate pleadings of hundred tongues.
\ man had come knocking at the gates OF
her wo1nan's heart, and the gates were opened
Just a little way. Then the man came
knocking at the gates OF her mother heart
and the gates We're opened wide.

lingering deligfnt-and made her perfectly
furious
She told him she was furious; but he chuck
led and sang foolish things at her, just as II
she was q little foreign baby; then he dived
into the sea: so she cried because he had gone
away. But she stopped crying almost IN
sta1ltlv: for he came back, dripping, and said
he had been playing poker-which was an
other fiippant lie. Beasley knew II was he,
and began 10 fight with him again: round and
round like children that hold each others
hands and spin TIL their little heads are dizzy;
and Talda helped the mate, because this man
was George c. Brown who had come TO hurt
her father.
1t was terribly easy, this fighting in dream;
but II didn't seem exactly far; so she hit
Brown as lightly as she could. Her little
white fist went out-slowlv-as slowly as
spider crawls-and touched him over the
heart; but he lurched heavily against the
rail and hung there, limp and quivering, by
his arms.
AGAIN she. cried out,-eried out IN the
\ mother pity OF it,-and Aunt Mary (she
was a very gentle old Aunt Mary, by the way)
came IN and s1noothed the bed clothes and
gave her a sleeping powder Ealda hated
Sleeping powders; but she didn I mind this
one because 1t made her rest and forget to

In the cities and towns everybody takes a
vacation OF greater or less extent The pres
sure of business is so diminished during the
summer that the great stores INSIST on their
clerks staving away from work Tor two weeks
or more part OF the time at the employers
expense Factories take advantage OF the
dull season to close for repairs to machinery,
to straighten out stock, and to readJust organ1-
cation In many trades, such as glass and
pottery works and iron mills, summer shut
down is a well esta blished custom All pro-
fessional men take vacations, the courts close,
the congregations OF the churches dwlndle'
and doctors shift their practices
Among the agricultural population, after
having and reaping the early gram there IS a
lull IN the press of farm work which glves time
for the August excursion TO the seashore. The
dwellers in the seashore cities take their vaca-
tions on the farms and the mountains OF the
back country The people OF the South move
to their own springs IN the Alleghen1es and to
the seaside resorts of New Jersey and New
England The Great Lakes furnish resting
sr1ofs for the Middle West, and the farther West
has its cool summer dwelling places in the
Rocky Mountains and their foothills. 1h1s

Twenty Millions Have Outings

TT is estimated that twenty million people
1 change their habitations during the vaca-
ton season for a week or longer. The Cats
kills have quarter OF a million summer Doard-
ers at once and every year the number in
creases. The Jersey coast towns have a con-
s-ant summer population OF over four hundred
thousand The nature OF farming IN the hlly
country nearest to New York has been wholly
changed by this vacation influx summer
hoarders have become the most profitable
crop. Vegetables, milk, eggs, and chickens are
sold from the farmers table to the people from
the cities who during the rest OF the year never
taste lettuce moist from the garden, eggs that
have never been Grated, and mix lresh from
the cow The whole course OF the appalachian
chain of mountains from Georgia to New Eng
land becomes big summer boarding house,
both in average population during July and
August OF more than two mliilon.
( moderate estimate of this vacation cost
is three hundred to five hundred million dol
lars, or about the capitalization OF all the
surface. elevated and underground railroads
inf are combined IN the traction merger IN
Nv York. Including railroad fares, eight
dollars a week is about the minimum Vaca-
+;or expenditure at farmer boarding mouse,
and this cost ranges up 10 hVe hundred dollars
a week to MAINTAIN an AdIondaGk lodge OF d
thousand dollars week that the elaborate

Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-10
CHICAGO GRAIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Following were
Especial service to The Herald by ]. C. Will
son. member Chicago Board of Trade, Hotel
Alexandria, Los Angeles).
CHICAGO Dec 9-There was nothing in
wheat news to create upturn, and the early
steadiness was caused by scarcity Of offerings.
The attention of the bearishly inclined and
the rank and file of the local and professional
element is bearish on the situation, was turned
to selling July on the theory that 1t is dan
gerous to sell May because of the congestion.
This selling of July was in such volume that
it finally had effect on the May, with the
result that prices closed with more than a
cent decline in May and cents in July.
Reports from the mllers in the winter wheat
belt are far from reassuring to the bulls.
1t still looks like long drawn out battle IN
wheat with what might be called the floating
shortage generally out Of May and therefore
eliminating much speculative shortage IN the
congested month.
Corn was weak throughout. The feature
again was the heaviness of December.
The absence Of eastern demand is the under
lying reason for weakness in this market, and
until that demand appears we can see nothing
to stop the downward trend.
Oats were strong, and while they lost some
of the advance they closed higher than on
yesterday
Quite a large increase in speculative activity.
As far as we can learn theer is no concen-
tration of holdings, which is enough in these
slider, regardless of the merits of the price.
Provision market was firmer and this mar
ket has all the earmarks of becoming prime
speculative favorite whenever there is some
encouragement in the way of lessened hog
receipts
The Inter Ocean says:
A canvass of the trade by closest observers
of pit conditions after the close yesterday de-
veIoped a healthier market condition, and
traders who have inclined to the bear side OF
late said that break of cents had shown
that wheat was well taken and had cleaned UT
about all the wheat outside of that held by
the Patten interests.
It was said that 5000.0 900 bushels of long
wheat had been put on the market since Mon
day noon, that the weak holders who have
been trying to follow Patten had placed stoT
orders all of their purchases, and the de-
cline had forced them out.
Patterns friends quoted him saying that
he had not bought or sold any wheat during
the day.
It was the general belief of the pit element
expressed in their gossip last night that the
Armour Grain company had been the largest
seller in the past two days.
The country is loosening up on corn, and
a number of grain dealers who here
from Iowa and Nebraska yesterday told OF
a steady increase in their purchases from
farmers.
December corn was extremely weak yester-
day under liquidatlng sales by longs and on
selling by the Armour grain interests and
Bartlett and Patten. No. sold here
yesterday at 39sc discount under May, while g
few days ago some of the large cash handlers
were paying 21s429Ic under May.

SLIGHTLY INJURED YOUTH
SAYS HE FELL IL STORIES
Delivery Boy Admits 1t Might Be Less
Than Fifteen Feet When Told
He Is Not Seriously
Hurt

81 fell fourteen stories, and | must
be hurt seriously" said Walter Me.
Chesney Is years old, delivery boy en-
ployed by the ParTnelee-Dohrman COM
pany, to the police surgeons at the re-
ceiving hospital yesterday afternoon.
An examination revealed a right thumb
sprained and a small liberation of the
middle finger of the right hand were
the extent of the boys injuries,
McChesney persisted he had fallen
fourteen stories, but when he had re-
covered from his fright and found he
was not seriously injured admitted the
distance might have been less than
fifteen feet.
He went to the Mission apartments
on North Broadway to deliver a pack
age. He did not see the elevator and
was unable to find the stairway. He
saw door at the end of the hall and
opened it. He could see nothing on
account of the darkness, but decided
it was the entrance to the stairs and
stepped inside. When he became aware
what had happened he found he had
fallen through an air shaft to the
basement.
