Don't be SO sly, Gabriel. There

Mercier are partly responsible"
What do you mean?" asked Gabriel.

who suddenly disappeared tonight"
"Oh, nonsense!"
There's no nonsense about 1t. Per-

CHAPTER XIII. (contInued.)

/. They were giving Faust, as 1t hap
pened, before a splendid house. The
Faubourg was magnificently repre-
sented; and the paragraph in that
mornings Epoque had already pro-
duced its effect. for all eyes were
turned to the box in which Count
Philippe sat alone. apparently in a
very Indifferent and careless frame OF
mind. The feminine element in the
brilliant audience seemed curiously
puzzled; and the viscount's absence
gave rise to any amount of whisper
ing behind the fans. Christine Daae
met with rather cold reception That
special audience could not forgive her
for aiming DO high.
The singer noticed this unfavorable
attitude Of a portion OF the house and
was confused by 1t.

opera. who pretended to know the
truth about the viscount's love-story.

they made show OF turning and look

Christine sang:
I wish I could but know who was he
That addressed me.
II he was noble. or. at least. what his
name H.
The count sat with his chin on his
hand and seemed to pay no attention
to these manifestations. He kept his
eyes fixed on the stage; but his
thoughts appeared to be far away.

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago. Aug 1l,-Rain relief.
which, however, missed Kansas and
most of Missouri, brought about a
setback today In the price Of corn.
The finish of trading was nervous at
a net decline Of 1%c to 15sc. Wheat
closed &c to lac high. oats unchanged
to &c up and provisions varying from
a shade off to 25c advance.
Heavy selling took place in the corn
pit, especially at the opening. Many
belated longs We're sacrificed and
some shorts became aggressive. TAX
ing the gfound that the current prices
more than discounted all Of the dam
age in sight noticeable increase in
rural offerings of old corn added a
good deal to the bearish sentiment
that prevailed. -,
Rallying power on the part of the
bulls madh itself felt more in the lat
ter half Of the day. Southwest re-
ports We're still very serious, heat and
drought continuing Besides the stock
on hand iii Chicago had fallen off dur
ing the week nearly a round million or
bushels
Wheat developed firmness as a re-
suit of opinions that cool temperature
in the Dakotas and Minnesota and
the persistent rains there might exert
damaging effect, as large proper
tion of the crop in that region is
ready to cut. Weakness early was due
to sympathy with corn and to lower
cables and good sized world ship
ments.
Threshing delays and possible inn
pairment of quality because of wet
weather gave strength to oats. Beans,
though, had control at first, owing to
the break in the corn market
Provisions ranged lower after a brief
upturn caused by higher prices for
hogs. Corn less expensive and selling

for the decline. Todays range:
