THE MARKETS

Wheat prices are still an uncertain
factor in the market. The price varies
from so to SO cents Oats are bringing
32 to 35 cents, and like wheat the
price is unsettled. Many farmers are
storing wheat, awaiting settled mar
ket. Yesterday Pendleton sold 10000
bushels of club wheat for SIS cents, and
according to wheat buyers, there should
be a difference of about s cents be.
tween club and valley prices.
The live stock market is stronger,
veal reaching a top market of ~ cents.
Grocers are payinga2l cents in trade
for eggs justices they come and this
about equals the 22 Gent candled.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Joy of June.

On a warm morning toward the
middle of the month of June Frederic
and Lydia sat in the quaint, old-fash-
toned courtyard, in the grateful shade
of the south wing and almost directly
beneath the balcony off Yvonne's bou-
doir. He lounged comfortably. yet
weakly, in the invalid's chair that had
been wheeled to the spot by the dog
like Ranjab, and she sat on pile or
cushions at his feet, her back resting
against the wall. Looking at him, one
would not have thought that he had
passed through the valley of the
shadow of death and was but now
emerging into the sunshine of secur-
ity. His face was pale from long con-
finement, but there was healthy glow
to the skin and a clear light in the
eye. For a week or more he had been
permitted to walk about the house and
into the garden, always leaning on the
arm of his father or the faithful Hin
du. Each succeeding day saw his
strength and vitality increase and each
night he slept with the peace of a
care-free child.
AS for Lydia, she was radiant with
happiness. The long fight was over.
She had gone through the campaign
against death with loyal. unfaltering
courage; there had never been an in
slant when her stanch heart had failed
her; there had been distress but never
despair. If the strain told on her it
did not matter, for she was of the
fighting kind. Her love was the sus-
tenance on which she throve despite
the beggarly offerings that we're laid
before her during those weeks of fam
inc.
Times there were when a pensive
mood brought the touch of sadness to
and Frederic was happy, but what of
the one who actually had wrought the
miracle? That one alone was un-
happy. unrequited. undefended There
was no place for her in the new order
of things When Lydia thought of
her-as she often did-it was with an
indescribable craving in her soul. She
! longed for the hour to come when
Yvonne Brood would lay aside the
mask of resignation and demand trib-
ute; when the strange defiance that
held all of them at bay would dis
appear and they could feel that she
no longer regarded them as adverse
ries-
There was no longer a symptom of
rancor in the heart of Lydia Desmond.
| She realized that her sweetheart's re-
| covery was due almost entirely to the
remarkable influence exercised by this
woman at a time when mortal agen-
cies appeared to be of no avail Her
absolute certainty that she had the

dropped as he passed close by her mo-
tionless figure and followed the doctor
down the hall to the bedroom door. 1t
opened and closed an instant later and
he was with his son.
For a long time, Lydia's somber, pit
eous gaze hung upon the door through
which he had passed and which was
closed so cruelty against her, the one
who loved him best of all. AT last she
looked away, her attention caught by
queer clicking sound near at hand. She
was surprised to find Yvonne Brood
standing close beside her. her eyes
closed and her fingers telling the beads
that ran through her fingers, her lips
