crate, but inwardly he was fighting
down turmoil Of emotions. What was
he to find in Alix? Had he anything to
give in exchange? Had he too much?
He climbed the steps slowly. His
hand trembled as he reached out to
raise the heavy bronze knocker. Be
fore his fingers could seize it, the door
swung softly inward. Old John bowed
before him. For a moment Gerry
stood dazed. The naturalness of that
open door, of the old butler, of the cool
shadows in the old familiar hall, struck
straight at his heart with the shrewd
poignancy of simple things. Old John
raised smiling face to greet him but
down one wrinkled cheek crawled a
surprised tear.
Gerry held out his hand. "How do
you do, John?"
II am very well today, sir" said
John. Mrs. Gerry is in the library.
She told me to telephone to the club
and if you were there to say she
wished to see you"
Gerry was puzzled. Why should Alix
think he would so to the club? He
handed the butler his old hat and
strobe to the library door. The door
was closed. Somebody said, "Come
in" The words were so low he hardly
heard them. He opened the door,
stepped inside and closed it behind
him.
Ivnc In n INN q
white housegown, stood in the middle
Of the room. With one hand appraised,
the other outstretched, she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight. Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching
down to his feet and back again to his
face. For weeks she had been wonder
ing. Terrible things had come to her
mind. Alan and Gerry, with his heart
less note, had conspired to mystify, to
terrify her. All the joy she had looked
| forward to In Gerry's homecoming
had turned into bitter pain. They
had not known on the hill how she was
suffering. Only Kemp had seemed to
understand little and had brought
his drop Of comfort to her.
AS her eyes searched Gerry the sense
Of impending calamity left her. He
| was well, well as she had never seen
him before. Except for that he seemed
almost weirdly familiar, as though
only a good nights sleep lay between
| him and the morning OF three yearc
ago when he had bullied her until she
had fought back and overwhelmed
| him.
A hundred little differences went to
make up this solitary change. The flush
| OF too many drinks had given way to a
deep healthy glow, the eyes were deep
and grave instead OF deep and vacant,
the broad shoulders that had taken to
hanging were braced In unconscious
strength. Every line In the body that
she had seen start on the road to gross
ness had been fined down. The body
| was no longer mere abode for lin
gering spirit. It had become mocha
nism, tuned to expression in action. II
was not the body OF time-serVer.
| Alan's sole word Of comfort came back
to her. Il never thought the old Rock
would ever loom so big What force

door. Then he drew from his pocket
an enormous key. With a rasp the
lock turned and the door opened, let
ting a bar of light into wide, cool

Gerry followed the Barbadian
through the hall to broad veranda at
the back of the house. A large living
room faced on to the veranda. The
Barbadian entered 1t, opened the
French door-windows and, busting on
two lounge chairs, invited Gerry to sit
down.
Gerry looked around curiously. The
living room was comfortably fur
nished. There were one or two excel

couch, set into a bow-window; lace
curtains, creamy with age; q wonder

WEATHER CAUSES
WHEAT DECLINES
Rains in the Southwest Resulted in
the Market Taking a Downward
Trend at Opening.

Chicago, May 27.-Rains in the
southwest turned wheat prices today
sharply downgrade. Opening prices,
which ranged from &c TO lc lower,
with July at Ill TO 111A and Sep
TENDER at LIES TO 1.117s, were fol-
lowed by material further declines.
Subsequently, the heaviness of the
market increased as a result of infor-
nation that more rain had fallen in
Oklahoma than was indicated by first
reports The close was unsettled, rs
TO 25s to 2$4c net lower, with July at
1091s and September at 1.10A.
Favorable weather and the weakness
OF wheat made the corn market sag.
After opening unchanged to sc lower,
prices continued TO descend.
No important rally took place. The
close was nervous at 7s to 115c net
decline
Oats eased off with other grain.
Provisions averaged lower, notwith-
standing an advance in the hog market.
The reason appeared to be falling off
in provisions shipments as compared
with last weeks total.
