After her club companions had departed

heavily guarded, and Swords was hooted
as he rode.
"It's nothing" he explained to Gene

The car swung into their grounds at
Green Gables. Y
Swords peered out.
"That's good" he said; "the Pinker-

now.
CENEVIEVE E retired early. She was
wholly unnerved. She slept. She woke,
refreshed. She was still young, and strong
and healthy, still live young woman.
Waking, for the instant she forgot where
she was.
Years before, on waking in the dark, it
had been her wont to stretch out her
hand to make sure that Dick was there
at her side. Unconsciously she did it
now.
And then she remembered that she was
at Green Gables-not in two and a half
story house on side street downtown.
And then she remembered something else.
She switched on her light, drew on a
dressing gown, and crept to Richards
bedroom. She knocked softly.
Dick, let me in, she cried. Dick
let me in."
There was no answer. She turned the
knob and groped her way to his bed.
The bed was still made up-it had been
unoccupied. Through another door she
stepped out into the hall. There was a
light in the study. With her face warm
and flushed from sleeping she felt her
way softly along the hall, and stole into
the study.
Dick was there He was busy-woe-
fully busy Figuring always figuring.
He sensed a presence in the room, and
started up in alarm. Then he smiled and
held out his hands to her

"Aha." he cried "You thought you'd
caught me mapping, didn't you? Not

From his inside pocket he drew forth
a long leather case and handed it to

She Is Using Indirect Influence
For the Candidacy of Her dad"

Since Minerva Rae ouinby was 10
years old. she has been actively inter
ested in woman suffrage
Every since that time also she has
been told that woman should use her
indirect influence IN politics instead OF

Minerva Rae has taken them at their
word at last
She is now using that indirect influence
on all the men and women she meets

GERMANY BUYS OF ROUMANIA
Fifty Thousand Carloads of Cereals
Go to Central Powers by Deal
Just Made.
FRIENDS OF ENTENTE OBJECT

Correspondence of the Associated PresO
BUCHAREST, Roumania, Feb. s.
Fifty thousand carloads Of cereals, or
about 10000 900 hundredweight, 60 to Ger
many and Austria Hungary from Rou-
mania as the result OF negotiations which
have Just been terminated. An option
for another 5000 carloads has also been
secured by the agents of the central
powers. The Roumanian government has
sanctioned the transaction. and export
begins Immediately. A great deal of
grain bought by the central powers
months ago. but so far unsupported for
various reasons. will also be moved now.
Shipments will be made over every avail
able railroad and on the Danube.
Negotiations were conducted by the
Roumanian Grain Sales commission and
the Cereal Central of the German, Aus
TRAN and Hungarian governments. The
grain consists principally OF Indian corn,
wheat, barley. beans and lentils. 1t will
be paid for partly in gold. but the greater
share OF the purchase price will be in
German paper currency. marks. The
transaction Is remarkable for the fact
that for the cost Of the cereals the Rou-
manian government will get credit on
the Deutsche Reichsbank In Berlin, for
which the Roumanian National bank will
then issue notes, these notes reaching
the sellers of the grain.
The foodstuffs so procured will be d.
vided among Germany and Austria-Hun-

With another $1,000 cars held on option
by the central powers. and with Turkey
and Bulgaria also in the market. Rou-
mania disposes of her entire 1915 crop.
Of which but little had been moved.
Available also is stlll n good share of the
1914 crop. which Roumania was not dis
posed to sell to the central powers last
spring and summer. owing to the belief
that the Dardanelles would be forced by

the allies were moved via Turn-Severin
and Kladowa. whence they were taken

The conquest of Serbia closed this route.

could be sold TO neutrals or the entente
group. Roumania was obliged to sell TO

which is said to be very advantageous to
the latter. Figures are not available.
however. But that the central powers
drove hard bargain is said here to be
indicated by the fact that very little
gold changes hands. whereas all previous
purchases in Roumania by the central
powers were made with gold as the only
acceptable equivalent.
The transaction was discussed in the
Roumanian parliament and was stoutly

ernment members and the grain and
landed class interests took the position
that Roumania stood in sore need of the
revenues to be derived from the sale.
these being the only income Roumania
has with which to cover imports. Very
stormy scenes ensued. but the opposition
lost.
Roumania's position is due to its COM
plete isolation from the worlds grain
consumers. The closing of the Darda-
nelles left Roumania no other route than
that through Serbia, which is now closed
also. To the central powers.i Roumania
would not sell. and what little was
bought had to be taken at prohibitive
prices. to which vast sums In the form
of extortion of one sort or another had

present transaction cleans the slate.

we're active TO prevent the sale. but were
defeated by the fact that Russia. the
only allied power with whom Roumania
now has physical contact and communi-
cation. does not have to buy grain in for
eign markets. The possibility OF moving
the grain over the Russian railroads and
through a Russian port into England and
France was then held up by the entente
agents. But Rounanian grain producers
could not share this view. nor were they
able TO see their interests cared for By
storing all the grain on options. They
were willing to sell their products and
store them on a cash-in-hand basis.
Many Of them had lost considerable
an arrangement with entente agents.
who later refused to take up their OPP
lions and promises on the plea that
faulty storage had spoiled the grain.
Negotiations will soon be undertaken
for the sale to the central powers OF
about $4,000 tons of benzine and gasoline
now held in storage. and the monthly
output OF 5000 tons of the same fuels.
The export of Roumanian meat cattle IL
also being discussed. Roumania's posi-
ton is such at present that as opposi-
ton members in the Roumanian parlia-
ment have pointed out, she has become
the ally of the central powers econom-
ically II the military situation does not
change in favor of the allies.
This is true also In respect to Rou-
manian imports. which at present come
from Germany and Austria-Hungary
and which, with most stores virtually de-
pleted. will go far in offsetting the cost
of the grain bought by the central
powers.

Campaign to Boost Attendance
at Its Bible Glass.
MANY WORKERS ARE ENLISTED

The North Presbyterian church has
one OF the largest adult Bible classes OF
any OF the churches OF the city, but II
IL not willing to stop with the present
attendance, but instead intends 10 push
the membership TO 100 before May 1.
At the present time the Sunday attend
ance is around fifty and plan has been
adopted by which IL is hoped to double
the number.
At the annual dinner OF the class. given
in the church dining room Thursday even
ing the movement to increase the attend
ance was inaugurated and results are
expected to follow with great rapidity.
Cards for the use Of the fifty members
are to be printed. Each card is to carry
ten names Of adults who are not mem
bers Of the class These cards will be
distributed among the members. who
sometime during the week will call up
over the telephone and invite the parties
to attend the Bible class the following
Sunday. Then the cards will be changed
and the next week the parties will again
be called up and invited to meet with
the class.
This interchanging Of cards and calling
of prospects will continue until all the
parties named on the cards are enrolled
as members Of the class In the event
parties do not respond by reason Of the
telephone calls personal work will be done
by members of a committee appointed
for this purpose.
There is no intention of forcing resi-
dents of the north-central portion of the

is to be made to make them feel that they
will be welcome and made TO feel at
home.
