CHAPTER XXXIX.

AS we sat at dinner at the
B hotel, Dick, asked, "Have
you heard yet from that mort

father left you was invested in?"
My appetite suddenly left me,

in our company that I told you
President Selwin had offered
me-"
"All right, Dick" I said,
tremblingly, "but before you buy
any stock l want to talk a little
about our finance"
II thought we had that all out
In New York;" and Dicks mouth
frightened and THAT GRAY
LOOK came into his face.
"Oh, did WEI" l asked joyous
ly: then I'll get the $1,000 and
you can buy the stock"
For, as remembered that talk
In New York, l had offered Dick

taste with good sense. Your ele-
giant and charming women will

back to their right mind. My sis
tiers have lost their sense of the
beautiful.
Lastly, tell your pretty Ameri-
can girls, II they would keep off
the hoodoo, they must wear few
pearls and lots of diamonds. Dia-

more hands of American men;
men high In the financial and
political world. Then could
speak with greater clearness and
certainty.
But this I can say-with the
fear that you will see 1t in the
very near future-that America
is to be sorely tried during 1914.
Not only will you have atmos-
pheric calamities and financial
crises, but you will be deceived
by finding your big men have
fallen short of what was expected
Of them, and incapable Of setting
things to rights.
Your destiny is somber, tragic.
The United States must not go
to sleep and dream her dreams of
gold.
Gold does not suffice a great
people.
Years when Saturn and Mars
dominate the heavens are severe

What a lot Of troubled con-
sciences there ought to be among
those who are struggling to keep
for themselves the fruits of labor
and saving!
The next year is to see a seri-
GUS tension ALL over the civil
lized world, the United States in
cluded-there are to be disasters
and upheavals.
My predictions for America are
not very reassuring. My calcula-
tons continue to give me fright
full catastrophes from the ele-
ments-floods, earthquakes, hor-
rible railway accidents.
There are to be financial crises
of severe nature. Business men
must be cautious. Political crises
will come and these will be hard
to set to rights. Grave conflicts
between high officials; many
changes Of men.
War with Japan is In the air.
Oh! This is not for the imme-

must bear it In mind.
Also you will have certain re-
publics to bring to terms. You

Answers

Dear Miss Grey: have
often read items In your
column, and have made fun
of them; but now I am
forced to ask advice of you.
am a girl of IS, and con-
sidered good-looking. and to
this l lay my trouble.
Last June while out pick
ing berries. I became ac-
quainted with a nice-looking
young man.. He was very in
teresting and | soon fell in
love with him. To make
long story short, l brought
myself into grave circum-
stances by our short ac-
quaintance. Now, / would
like to locate the young man,
whose name / never knew,
that / may give a name to
the child. Thanking you in
advance for the help am
badly In need of, ! am yours
gratefully, BABE.
Al am afraid 1 cannot tell
you positively how to find the
young man. IL you know even
his first name, and IL the "boss''
of the berry-picking kept a record
of those employed, you might
find it that way.
Your fault does not lie in the
fact that you are good-lOOlSing,
but in the lack of thOughtfulness
of any children you might have,
In a recklessness of all future
consequences; i'm the false impress
sion that wrong-dOing is prompt
ed by love. You know how that
love is not passion; but am sorry
you learned 1t In this way.
1 like your straightforward way
Of stating facts without whining
or trying to throw the blame on
someone else; but, candidly, 1 do
not like the signature you used,
and right here I want to say for
the sake of yourself and other
girls that the use of babyish,
weakening pet names is one Of
the most serious things of the
times. The fact Of wanting to be
petted, babied and made over is
very weakening, and do so want
girls to know that the girl worth
while is the strong, reliable girl
the girl that the kind of boys who
calls you baby names will not
dare to insult.
Your whole duty now is to
make the best possible mother to
your child, the little one who has
not had word as to how it will
enter the world, or who its par
ents will be. 1 feel you will do
your very best.

In one Of the last mails the evan
gelist received here came letter ask
ing for the handkerchief he used
while on the platform. In the same
mail came q request that Sunday go
out in his back yard; pick up a stone
and send 1t to the woman writer. She
said she wanted to place it in the
CRATE being built into her new home
SO that she might sit in front Of it
on cold winter nights and think of
the work Of the evangelist. One let
ter asked Sunday to comment from
the platform on the smallness of those
people who take advantage of crowd
ed conditions on street cars to jump
off without paying their fare.
Sunday was greatly amused at the
requests for the stone and handker-
chief. He often receives requests for

the "pieces" about them. They are
Mrs. Brownie Weaverson, aged 60,
and Mazdaznan, which is new
variety of religion; her husband, 81,
and Mrs. Caroline Frame, Christian
Scientist, aged 72. Mr.. Weaverson is
the secretary of Mrs. Frame, who is
rich. Mrs. Weaverson, the Mazdaz-
nan, declares that Mrs. Frame, the
Christian Scientist, has tried to steal
her husband in thoroughly scienti-
fic but unchristianlike manner. AT,
fairs reached a climax, when, one
evening last week, the thirty-third
wedding anniversary of the Weaver
sons, Mrs. Weaverson, the MazdaZ-
nan, prepared an anniversary dinner,
and Mr.. Weaverson did not come
home, but remained to dinner with the
Christian Scientist. That was too
much for a Mazdaznan, and she sued
the Christian Scientist for $3.50 900,
alleging alienation. 1t takes New
York to produce woman of seventy
two and one Of sixty-two quarreling
over a man of fifty-four, and it takes
New York to exhibit Mazdaznan.

SOUTHERN CITY PLANS
TO MOVE FARM PRODUCE

LAKE CHARLES, La, July IT.
To strengthen the farmer and truck
grower in the weakest point in his or
ganization, the selling end, the Lake
Charles Business Mems association
has been organized on original lines.
The merchants of the city have in
corporated mutual company, hired
a manager and have announced that
in the future they will accept and
pay cash down at the best New Or.
leans prices for all truck and pro.
duce brought to the associations
warehouse.
"The trouble with our farmers"
declared John Marshall, publisher of
the Lake Charles Times and leader
in the movement, twas that they had
no selling end to their business. They
had good land, were well trained
farmers and raised good stuff but
from the minute they took 1t off their
place and put it in their wagons they
were helpless. There were hundreds
of consumers who wanted their stuff
and were willing to pay for it and
there were hundreds of farmers about
here who wanted to sell. But they
couldn't get together. Our organiza-
ton will see to this. We pay the
farmer cash for his stuff. That's
what he needs worse than anything
else. Then our agents in New Or
leans get it on the big southern and
eastern markets for US and we get
our money back. We can afford to
wait for our returns but lots of times
the farmer cannot and as a result
takes any old price or dumps his stuff
on the local market at a big loss.
So far the work of the association
has been remarkably successful"

warmer than the seasonable average
while in the western counties, prac-

Conditions were generally favorable
to crop growth and farming opera

to corn. Locally in Logan county
grain is reported to be drying too
fast instead Of ripening naturally,
straw is dry while wheat is still soft.
In the Grand valley winter wheat is
in shock, and the harvesting of oats
will begin shortly. The cutting Of al
falfa continues in the south central
counties while in other sections the
second growth is coming on nicely.

are generally in good condition. The
fruit crop is reported to be the best
for many years. In the south central
part Of the state, the raspberry crop
is large and the quality very good.
In the Grand valley fruit district
apricots are being shipped, also early
peaches. The outlook for the peach
crop is the best in years. The pear
crop is exceptionally promising.
