THE EVENING STORY.
COMMON GROUND.
Copyright. 1914. by W. wernerl

When at last a long-striven-fo pro-
motion enabled the Duncans to move
out of the three little rooms where
they had lived since their marriage
Ruth Duncan found herself in a shah
by, little, gray house on shabby
street, which the agent said had once
been a portion of the famous Cuthbert
property. Some enterprising Cuthbert
had seen a way to increase his income
by slicing of a bit of unused land and
setting a double row of dwelling houses
upon IL. A few of the magnificent Cuth-
bert elms still shaded these houses
door Under it was a tiny spot of green
grass. There had been neither trees
nor grass about the tall apartment
house where she had lived for three
years.
Ruth's house was directly back of the
great Cuthbert mansion. There were
wide reaches of turf about the famous,
old, gray house, which was guarded on
all sides by a high, stiff. iron fence.
But the old fence did not shut out the
sight of the mighty elms or the Won
derful flower beds or of the great bun
car that rolled in and out of the garage
whenever Mrs. Cuthbert felt like TAX
ing an airing.
Mrs. Cuthbert was a widow and the
whole Cuthhert estate had come to her
when her husband died. For several
years she had lived abroad, but that
spring she had returned home unex-
pectedly with her servants and her
about her of late years. She Kept to
herself haughtily and had almost no
friends. She was beautiful and not
yet middle-aged. She never seemed to
wear anything but white or black,
and these separately, and she wore her

ably, had no inclination to open her
gates. She had no children of her own
and other peoples didn't interest her;
thone,t she lacks ..s.o mot mothers heart, Ruth
her selfish and hard. She wants all
she has for herself"
Natalie soon began to notice the flow-
ers: She would toddle over to the fence,
and, hanging on the upright bars,
would thrust her sunny head in be-
tween and gaze. She once became
angry because she could not have some
tulips. She cried SO hard that Ruth
thought Mrs. Cuthbert must hear her
But it would evidently take more than
little child's tears to reach Mrs
Cuthbert's hard heart.

After she had got everything In home
keeping order Ruth had a good deal of
leisure time There was a tiny porch
at the front of the house, but that was
too near the street, so she and Baby
Natalie took the back steps for their
playground. Natalie was just begin
ming to walk and talk. and Ruth often
thought that even if she were her own
baby she was adorable. Her eyes were
so blue and her cheeks so pink. and
her dimples and little white teeth had
such a tempting way of racing into
view together. Ruth felt very rich in
possessing Natalie. She pitied women
who were trying to live their lives
without children.
Naturally, she thought a great deal
about Mrs. Cuthbert as she sat on the
steps watching Natalie and sewing on
some dainty little garment. And then
she looked into the great yard, which
the flowers were beginning to brighten
the flowers which nobody save the
gardener seemed to care about-she
wanted it for Natalie as she had never
wanted anything in her life. There
were dozens of little children who
needed green grass and flowers even
more than Natalie, and who could have
been made so happy if only Mrs. Cuth-
bert had opened her great iron gates

At that moment Ruth felt that she
hated the woman who kept all her
flowers when a single one would have
made little sick child glad. In des-
peration she broke the top out of her
one blossoming plant, a geranium, and
put 1t in Natalie's hand. But the baby
flung the flower away and cried for
those beyond the cruel iron fence. She
was becoming so hot and flushed that

through her roses.
The sight of the woman released some
thing in her and she screamed. Mrs.
Cuthbert hurried forward in response.
When she had got to the fence she
stopped: 1t was barrier she could not
pass. However. she saw the rigid little
shape of the child and seemed to under
stand.

cried. I'm coming as fast as 1 can

Ruth said that she was thankful. But
she did not tell the woman what she
knew about Mrs. Cuthbert. She felt 1t

flowers. She seemed to change. 1t was

HoV the War Affects Us.
XLVII.-Fur Trade and
Winter Furs.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The war broke out at the worst pos
sibIe time for the fur trade. Declara-
tions of hostilities were sped over the
earth just before the opening of the fall
buying Dealing in furs in the Ameri-
can market, as well in other great
markets, had been unusually night
throughout the year. And, what made
matters worse, the potentates of dress
already had formulated the decree that
furs are to be more in vogue than ever
this year and that they are to be free
ly used for trimming. Whereupon war
disorganized the fur markets of the
world
Within the war zone are the two
greatest fur markets. London is the
largest and most important fur-dis-
tributing point in the international
trade, and Leipsic ranks an extremely
close second. There are more than 100
large fur concerns in the German. city
and any number of foreign firms have
headquarters there. The Lefpsic
Fur Merchants Association is one of
the fatherland's important CONNER
ciai bodies American dealers in
the past have been among the best
customers of the Leipsic trade.
Relations between the Leipsic and
the London fur trades became strained
toward the end of last spring.-The
merchants of the former city had pc
titioned the London trade to forego
its regular spring auction of furs, and
this request was turned down by the
London auction houses The June fur
sales are a London tradition. and Lon
don traditions are not even broken upon
a best customers representations.
The German request was explained as
being in the interest of the general
slackness of business. This family
quarrel is merely noteworthy in re-
gard to it's native, which apparently
indicates that the various larger mar
kets were well stocked in June. if not
overstocked.
German traders purchased sparingly
in furs throughout the first half of the
year. Their stocks, however, likely
will be more than adequate to the home
demand, as foreign custom has been
entirely cut off and few people will
be able to pay for the luxury of war
and of furs at one time. The same
should be true for France, Austria
Hungary and Great Britain. 1t is to be
expected that the war will consider
ably repress the European trade.
