IRVING WAS NOT ALL MIND
English Actor One OF the Most Low
able of Men, According to Life
lonq Associate.

1t has been said of Irving that he
lacked feeling, that he was all mind

Ellen Terry said: HE is gentle, not
tender The late Henry Labouchere
wrote of him that "he was always act

said, still more roughly.
"You do not carer" she stammered,
bewildered What has happened?
You do not care-for me?"
She looked deep into his eyes, but
found no incense burning there. The
shrine was cold.
"Mr. Gregory! And after all that

Grace stared after him with blood

Frans fearful danger had unbalanced
his mind. But how could he care SO
much about that Fran? And how
could he leave her, knowing that Rob

upward with eyes fastened upon her

But it was not the sight Of Fran's
danger that had for ever alienated
Gregory from Grace Noir. In an in

as an unlovely monster. His sensitive

HAT have been current during the
past few days and were given unoffi-

Two reasons for the contemplated
price reduction are given, first that
the 1913 crop is very large one and
is moving somewhat slowly. and sec
ond that the production of Hawaiian
pines has grown to such an extent
curing the last few years thats the
market is well supplied and cut will
add new stimulus to buying.

local industry said that hesplans have
