tiers were few and far between. Finally
he ceased writing at all.
Olivia had by this time bought out the
news store and was paying for it and
saving money besides. Barbara was
growing. There was only the thought of
Jason to trouble her, and that she kept
to herself.
A year passed-two-three and only
Olivia knew how long they were. People
said she would never see Jason again,
and she believed it fully. She was like
to die with heartbreak. but there was
Barbara.
One rainy June day she was upstairs
with Barbara when she heard the bell on
the shop door tinkle, as | always did
when a customer entered. She hurried
down, Barbara close behind her. And
there was Jason.
They stood and looked at each other
long look that asked and answered
many things. Then he held out his arms
to the child. Barbara turned away.
"She don't know me-" Jason walled.
You have been gone three years"
Olivia reminded him.
He drew his breath deeply. Three
years-yes! And such a three years! 1t

PLEASES THE "FRESHIES."
New Form of "Hazing" at the Bust
ness High School.

Hundreds OF freshmen at Business
High School were "hazed" today by the
senior pupils of the four year and two
year classes. The new pupils were not
met with paddles. blankets and other
similar paraphernalia. which is supposed
to speed the novice on his way through
the school-literally, az well as figura-
t.vely-but were rendered a reception.
Several members of the upper classes
made informal talks. Refreshments were
served at the conclusion of the program.
Needless to say, perhaps, this form OF
hazing proved some popular with the
''freshies."

cross this. and all the way he would be
in plain sight of any one who happened
to be near. Very cautiously he peeped
out and looked this way and that, not
forgetting to look up in the sky. He
could see no one anywhere. Drawing a

could take him.

Weekly Review tomorrow will say:
While there is little speculation in
any market, the activity that has pre-
vailed for number OF months past in
the important industries and trades con-
tinues unabated. During February bank
clearings in the United States increased
s5 per cent over last year. and 1l.5 per
cent over 1911, and during the past week
Ne gains were So and 2S.3. respectively.
Railroad earnings during four weeks Of
Sebruary increased per cent as COM
pared with the same period last year.
Other February statistics were generally
Nvorable While there was an increase
IN the liabilities of defaulting concerns,
this was due to three or four failures
Of unusual size. and it is significant that
the insolVcnCes We're considerably fewer
in number than in the same period last
year.
The average daily sales OF pig iron in
February exceeded that of January, a
conclusive evidence of the continued ac-
tivity in the iron and steel trade, the
heavy purchases of steel products by
railroads and agricultural implement
makers being the main feature.
The textile trades are experiencing A
continued large demand. which keeps both
mills and distributing houses busy. The
clothing strike is in the process of settle
ment, and arbitration of the important
dispute between the Eastern railroads
and their fremen is to begin next week.
The shoe trade reports a steady broaden
ing Of activity. which promises exceed
fnGly well for the coming season. Winter
whea. conditions are very encouraging.
and the new cotton crop outlook is un-
usually favorable. Trade reports from
the leading distributing centers are gem
orally good. although weather conditions
have retarded retail distribution in some
places"
