1t would be difficult to describe the
feelings OF Lydia Desmond as she sat
there with the despised though to be

For long time Lydia stared
straight before her, seeing nothing,
positively dumb with wonder and &C.
knowledging a sense Of dismay over
her own disposition to submit to this
extraordinary situation She was ask
ing herself why she did not cast the
woman away, why she lacked the
power to resent by deed as we'll as by

life rested there on her breast. This

wantonly-and yet there came steal

that she could never hurt her In re-

After long time, In which there

warm lips to Yyonne's. Then In an
abrupt revulsion Of feeling her arms
fell away from the warm. sweet body
and almost roughly she pushed Yvonne
away from her.

Lydia felt little SILVER race over
her as she looked toward the door.

Frederic did not come in for dinner
until after his father and Yv0nne had
gone from the house. He did not In
quire for them, but instructed Jones
to say to the old gentlemen that ne
would be pleased to dine with them
if they could allow him the time to

single bottle Of champagne and to
place three glasses.
Later on Frederic made his an
nouncement to the old men. In the
fever Of an excitement that caused
him to forget that Lydia might be en-
titled to some voice in the matter, he
deliberately committed her to the prof.
ect that had become a fixed thing IN
his mind the instant he set foot In
the house and found it empty-Oh, SO
empty!

Frederic shook his head and two

Relief Expected Soon in
Wheat Export Situation

can wheat exports Is expected to exceed
the export supply by nearly $4,000. 900
bushels before July !. the situation
probably will be relieved before that
time. according to tho Department OF
100000 bushels available for export
up to July /. American exports have
averaged 100000 bushels a month
which would necessitates an export
stock OF 50S00.000 bushels more than
the 91.000.000 bushels now on hand
The fall of the Dardanelles would re-
lease the entire Russian wheat crop now
held at Black sea ports. but 1t is also
believed that the bulk of American ex-
ports has crossed the Atlantic and that
the average will fsll considerably below
35,000,000 bushels a month from now
