If the prevailing strength Of Thursday
can be maintained.
The chief reason for the prevailing
strength was found in the fact that the
Bank of England did not raise its rate
of discount but permitted II TO remain
at per cent, thereby indicating TO the
world that the governors looked for
peaceable outcome to the peace negotia-
tions now going on in London.
Then, too, the leaders OF the street
counted on having a large part of the
millions paid out in dividends and inter
est reinvested, and for the purpose OF
making things look attractive they did
what they could to give the year an en-
couraging start
Railroad earnings are excellent, better
than expected. Money is flowing into the
city in increasing volume. and call money
is back to nearly normal rates, and
likely to remain so.
While everything on the list was
strong, with the exception or southern
Pacific, Bethlehem Steel preferred, Beet
Sugar, and Western Maryland. the best
gains were made in Atlantic Coast Line
Canadian Pacific. Union Pacific, 500
Line, Can preferred, and copper stocks
The gossip of the street gives the story
OF the day and the actual reasons for the
gains, other than the fact that 20 per
cent thereof was due to London dress
ing.
The chances are that the railroads will
make an effort to obtain a horizontal rate
increase in the near future. and belief

was leaving town. Yet she did not al
low herself to do this, but, with a hasty
glance at her watch, hurried off to
school
Six o'clock that evening. as she sat
in her room studying, the maid tapped
al her door.
IF you please, Miss Mary" she an
nounced there's a gentleman on the
telephone asking for you"
Very WELL" was the hasty response
Mary knew at once by intuition who
the speaker at the other end of the wire
would be. She was not mistaken. 1t
was Gordon Craig and he wanted to
know II he might not run up this even
ing just-"to tell you all goodbye as
he said.
Il am leaving tomorrow noon for
Massachusetts" he informed her. "and
l would like to see you before I go"
Again, as when he had asked her to
accompany him to the theater, Mary
felt her determination wavering, but,
remembering her former weakness, she
brought all her will power to bear upon
her reply
Il am sorry, Mr.. Craig" she said,
but l must ask you to excuse me to-
night l am very tired, for l have been
working hard. As told you the other
evening l have no time this week for
recreation"
Her words sounded cold and abrupt,
she thought. She did not appreciate
that her voice trembled slightly and that
it held wistful note that made 1t very
sweet and not altogether depressing to
the listener Perhaps this fact gave him
courage to say appealingly:
Are you sure you could not spare me
just two minutes? l would not detain
| you long"

quickly. How she longed to grant his
request! But. no-she would not be so
silly. you do not understand" she
added. how very busy I am. Really,
can not see you, Mr.. Craig"
II think I understand" said the man,
reluctantly, and I bow to your will.
Good bye until l return to New York"
"Good-b bye" answered the girl.
That evening a box was brought to
her room. She gasped with pleasure at
the wealth of pansies revealed by the
lifting Of the lid. with slightly I'M
steady fingers she opened the envelope
that lay on the surface Of the blossoms.
1t contained Gordon Craig's card, and
under his name was written:
''Pansies-for thought that will visit
you even If the sender may not" Sud
den tears sprang to the girls eyes.

them away and bent over the flowers

CHAPTER w.

TINE morning following Gordon
Craig's call Mary awoke with
pleasant sense Of anticipation
For a moment she gazed about her
sunny room trying to think what agree
able thing was ahead Of her. She re
membered only too well the work she
had laid out for herself to accomplish
within the next few days, but that
was certainly not what gave her a SEN
sation of joy
Suddenly she recalled last evenings
experiences and the promise that she
made to go to the theater with Craig
when he should return from Boston.
She felt again the pressure Of his hand
as he babe her good night. The world
seemed a brighter place for the mem
DRY. She appreciated that here in this
busy city, the Texan was still so near
that she might summon him by tele-
phone. That seemed a pleasant fact
too.
These thoughts occupied her mind
as she dressed. When she was putting
the last touches to her toilet she met
her own gaze in her mirror and was
] amazed at the happy, transhgured ex-
4 preston on her reflected face. She
brought herself up sharply with a feel
ing almost like fear. Here she was
on the verge of making a fool Of herself
about a fellow whom she knew but
/ slightly, letting her thoughts dwell on
| him as if he were the only man in the
world
still. he is an unusually nice chap"
she acknowledged. The admission
soothed somewhat her wounded dignity,
! for she felt that she had fallen beneath
! her usual standard of wisdom in blush
ing and looking happy over the pos
sibility of spending another evening in
| this Westerner's company.
| He probably talks TO all girls Just
as he talked TO me, and looks at them
all in that way, too" she unused. Il
have heard that Westerners and South
erners have a way of saying pretty
rothings that make fools of women and
they forget as soon as they are spoken.
Well. here's one girl who is not going
to be silly over any man until she
knows that he loves her better than he
loves anything else on earth. And I'm
going to stop thinking of him
With which laudable determination
she Joined her family at the breakfast
table
The best way to Danish a subject
from ones mind is to place another in
it's place. Mary recognized this fact
and applied herself to her work with
a zeal and zest that precluded other
considerations Her mother remarked
this with gentle protest on a morning
late in the week as Mary was starting
for school.
Dear child" she said, you are look
ing worn out Must you study SC
hard?"
Commencement Day is not many
weeks off" Mary reminded her. and
