CHAPTER x.

There was another than the foreman
who was happier than ordinary words
would have expressed, now that Jack.
son Jones had stated. with what
seemed 10 be flnailty. that he intend.
ed TO continue at the business which
had made his fortune and had made
Jonesville. But Josie felt a strange
need for reserve In her young employ
er's presence. need which she had
not felt the night before and one which
she could not explain.
Her impulse was to rush into ex.
travaeance OF praise after he had sent
the foreman out into the works TO tell
the men that he should not sell his
patrImony to the trust. but for some
reason which she would have found il
difficult 10 explain fully she said not a
word about IL. Instead. she turned TO
aim with matteroffact expression and
the words Of commonplace occasions.
Did you have a good nights rest?"
He felt like saying something full
OF emphasis. whether in access Of Joy
or sorrow he was not certain, but he
knew that any words which he could
use to her would be inadequate to fur.
nish him relief. and so hailed her com.
monplace question with thrill OF real
relief.
My back is broken" he said with an
expressive grimace and writhe.
Who named that hotelY
The Grand?"
He nodded with another seriocomic
facial antic.
She laughed. "Is II as bad as that?''
There are men in prison for doing
less than running a hotel like that" "
Almost he made the revelation OF their
startling midnight wanderings. but
caught himself In time.
why don't you open your uncle's
homer
My uncle's homer" he said, little
startled.
He had not thought OF that. The
suggestion probably did more to drive
home definitely TO his inner mind the
true significance OF his decision 70

which had previously occurred. His
uncle's home
After his fathers death II had been
his home: II had been the only semb
lance OF home which he remembered.
and his memories OF II we're harsh
enough, in some details almost repel-
lent. His uncle had been hard; he had
had but little understanding OF boy ma.
ture; the house had been a sort OF
prison from which he could escape at
intervals each day.
He had not even thought of opening
it; II never had occurred to him that
he could ever live another day OF his
life there.
But. now she spoke Of It, why not?
The place was grim. old-fashioned, in
hospitable, forbidding, as so many old
New England houses are, and as so
many more New England houses were
ten years ago; but that atmosphere
was more that of its occupant than
that Of the old place Itself. It must

Higgins, never wavering; giving back
no inch, although he lowered above
her, shaking with wrath, and worked
his cienching fingers omlnously.

j. p. Morgan Assures Government
That Money Market is Improving

Washington, Aug. 20.-Reports
of decided improvement in the
general condition of the country
and the fffnanaaI7 situation in New

Department today by ]. P. Morgan
| and William Porter, a member of
the Morgan firm. Mr. Morgan and
Mr.. Porter spent nearly two hours
in conference with Secretary of the
Treasury MoAdoo and members Of
the Federal Reserve Board.
Mr.. Morgan declined to discuss
his visit and no formal announce
ment was made of it's purpose. Sec
rotary McAdoo, however, said that
Mr.. Morgan had assured the gov
eminent officials that conditions
have shown steady improvement,
and that generally the situation is
reassuring. The bankers return
ed tonight to New York.
There was some talk at the
conference about the present status
of international exchange and the
desire of American bankers and
administration Officials to keep
American gold here and not export
it to Europe. The government has
left this matter largely to bankers
| who deal in foreign exchange, but
will make every effort to aid the
bankers and keep American gold in
this country.
There is hope in administra ton
| circles that it will be only a short
time until American shippers will

port grain and other commodities
