He never said a word to me-not

CHAPTER XXI

4 GNES MORLEY proved the truth
n of the statement that a woman
L - is inconsistent by being painful
" depressed as she thought over her
refusal OF Randolph Pickens.
In fact. she even shed a few tears
over his faded sweet peas, then tried
10 laugh at her own folly. But the
laugh stuck in her throat She had not
the heart t. throw the blossoms away,
but she did not want TO put then
where she need see them So, taking
them into her aunt's room, she placed
them in a glass Of water.

Morley asked in surprise. She was IN

gown

She did not linger to explain after
she had kissed her aunt and seen her
safely in bed She was not the kind OF
a girl who talked IL other women OF
her con0uests nor OF the devotion OF
anv man for her She had a sense OF
honor that forbade such confidence.
She was glad TO be alone TO think
her own thoughts. yet the more she
thought the more depressed did she be
come. Turning out the light in the
little parlOr. she seated herself by the
open window and reviewed the happen
ings of the past hours
Her heart smOte her as she unused
on poor Mr.. Pickens. Had he been the
only man in the world she could not
have accepted his attentions Even now
she giggled softly as she recalled his
garb and manner. But the giggle end

ed in a sound very like a sob as she
recalled his wistful eyes. He. al least
had shown mis- fondness for her. There
was vague kind OF comfort In the
recollection She would probably never
see him again. Well, she wished him
the happiness he deserved with some
woman who could care for him.
She Thinks OF Philip.
Then she began once more 10 think Of
Philip. Added to her chagrin at his
recent behavior was the pain of humil-
iati0n at the mistake she had made in
speaking TO him about those flowers
this morning His manner had been
brusque, unlike his former way Of re-
plying to any question of hers.
She could not know that poor Pills

throh of his heart so sudden, that he
then. when he realized what she had
asked. she was gone without even
backward glance in spite Of his eNcla-
nation OF entreaty. He. on his part, was
thinking that she had snubbed him and
flouted him by turning away from his
appeal
Thus 1t was that both of these young
people nursed their sense OF grievance
towards each other. And all the while
their hearts were aching.
The following morning Agnes Morley
oversight Miss Lucy. who had had
restless night-for she was far from
well these days-did the same. So, in
spite of the girls utmost haste. she
did not reach the office of Hale d

through the woods and sat down in

which her pet had flown away a lit

Uncle Wiggily. after he had whispered

was and try TO chase him
But everything was all right. so
Uncle Wiggily went up 10 where the

Interesting Case to
Be the First Heard

The first case that will come before
the supreme court when it convenes
September 8 is that of Flora 1. Fore
men, appellant, VS.. School District No.
20, Columbia county, an appeal from
the judgment of Circuit Judge Eakin.
The school district concerned in this
matter is said to be poopled by 80 per
cent foreigners, and the appellant was
discharged from her position as teach
er because, so it is alleged, she instruct
ed her pupils along anarchistic, sex hy-
gienic, socialistic and irreligious lines.
1t is stated that she even went so far
as to discredit this government in her
teachings. And when notified that she
had been discharged from her position
she refused to 60, claiming that she had
been hired to teach FOR eight months
and was determined to teach that long.
AT the time of her discharge she had
been in the employ of the district about
seven months.
1t is represented that the school
board attempted to remove her from her
Job by force, and thtat she rallied GER.
tain of her friends about her and resist.
ed. However, she was removed. and
straightway began suit to collect pay
Tor the one month rtmaining of her con.
tract, amounting to about $50.

very much elated over their success.

will have to be readjustment before
we can successfully meet foreign com
petition abroad.
There is still no prospect for a
prompt ending of the war. Recent
successes of the Allies seemingly only
serve to strengthen their determination
to completely overcome the Central
Powers. This probably is the ex.
planation of additional large munition
orders now being received from abroad.
The steel trade has, of course, felt the
stimulus of these demands Prices are
very firm and the outlook is for con-
tinued activity in this department of
industry. Some huge orders for copper
are also being negotiated by the Allies.
| The labor situation has been quite a
factor in financial circles, but the ad-
justment of the strike in New York
City and the acceptance of mediation
by the representatives of railway labor
was favorably interpreted in the
"Street.' The dispute between the
railroads and thir employees, however,
is far from being settled; and the feel
ing is growing that the third party to
the dispute-the public-has greater
interests at stake than either of the
two contesting parties. Both sides are
anxious to have public opinion upon
their side, and the outcome of the con-
troversy is still uncertain, although
financial interests are inclined to be-
lieve there will be no serious strike or
tieup of traffic. The presidential cam
paign is proceeding so quietly as to be
hardly a factor in financial affairs.
Congress is endeavoring TO adjourn
about September LIST. and the Mexican
problem has now passed into much
less acute stage; the administration
evidently doing its best to secure a
satisfactory adjustment before elec-
ton.
General business is quiet as usual in
August, though the volume of trade is
larger than year ago, as testified by
both bank clearings and railroad earn
ings. The railroads are now enjoying
more prosperity than for several years,
but the fact that the companies are
facing a heavy increase in operating
costs and that they have only recently
escaped serious financial complications,
prevents any special enthusiasm among
railroad managers. The money market
continues easy in spite of approaching
crop demands, and both time money
and commercial paper have shown a
downward tendency. Rumors are again
revived of coming British collateral
war loan. Thus far these rumors are
not verified, and the British are known
to be unfavorable to the idea of put
ting up collateral; but this feature
would undoubtedly assure its success
on this side and would also materially |
relieve the pressure of foreign holdings
in this market. Had it not been for !
the constant heavy influx of high grade
securities from abroad this market |
would have been considerably higher.
Should this pressure be withdrawn, it
would be interesting to note the effect
upon a class of securities which have
so far escaped the inflationary effects
of war and plethoric money market
