OATS FOLLOW SUIT

Chicago Dec. 20.-Wild advances In
the corn market took place today ow-
ing chiefly to removal Of embargoes
on eastward shipments from Chicago.
The biggest jump was in the May de-
livery. OK cents a bushel. After con-
siderable fluctuatipn, prices closed ner-
vous. l to AZ cents net higher, with
January $1.24M to $1.25. and May,
$1.23A to S1.23M. Oats finished to
tx cents up and provisions at gains
of 2a to 80 cents.
More excitement manifested itself in
the corn pit than has been witnessed
in a long time. The big upturn which
carried prices to within a cent Of
the topmost point allowed under the
rules. was accompanied by a decided
broadening out of trade. Besides the
news of the removal of the railroad
embargo, there were rumors current
that the maXimum price limit on future
deliveries would be raised or that a
maximum and minimum limit on the
price of cash corn would be estab-
lished. Later. however, denials were
made that the maximum on futures
would be distributed and "a big share
of the advance failed to hold.
Oats scared with corn. but not to a
sensational extent. Realizing Of prof
it's by holders became a noticeable
feature.
Provisions joined in the, upturn Of
other staples. On reactions which en-
sued packers bought.

For the moment the glamor that
Chris had over her waVered and grew
uncertain.
The camp proved a disappointment
In that all the men had left for a
destination unknown the night before.
Only a few not going on active service
remained behind to tidy things up.
Still. to Molly, new to such things,
even the traces Of the camp held
interest and certain magic. Here
were black sears made of charred
soil and ash where the fires had been,
Across the fields khaki-clad figures
were bringing in wagonloads of fod-
deI. Round n gypsy pot slung over
embers group of men sat in trousers
and shirts, one or two were cleaning
their rifles, sight which thrilled
Molly. Thanks to the men having

where she would, and a chatty young
territorial, n bank clerk from the
town, showed her and Percy the little
there was to see, and Molly could not
help noticing that, tho he treated hel
with a certain patroniZing politeness,
he evidently looked up to Pennicuik.
Would he have respected Chris she
wondered, if he had lounged over the
camp, eyeglass in eye? Then she told
herself that it didn't really matter

Glad you enjoyed it," the youth re-
marked to her as they parted. Il
know the ladies always like seeing
these things. They love a uniform,
don't they?" This last to Pennicuik,
as one male to another.
"Well, that was rather disappoint-
ing. I'm afraid" observed Percy as
they left the trodden field for the
road once more. "Still. of course it's
always something for you, as the fell
low said. You haven't seen anything
of soldering. have you?" The next
moment he could have shaken HIM

what he had said might seem a de-

Percy. what do you think of Mrs.

Molly was still at the stage when
the question of Brent's production
for another woman was more impor-
tant than whether he was justified in
refusing to enlist or not.
"Of Mrs. Lee?" echoed Percy, his
masculine mind quite failing to con-
meet up. II don't know. l don't think
anything about her. Why?"
"Oh, nothing. only she interests me.

Had to "come Out of IT,"

John Lavery, the famous artist, had
funny experience at Newmarket
some time ago. On that historic race
course, bookmakers are forbidden to
put up stands or display boards. But
the famous academician only wanted
to sketch the course, and, as he. was
staying with Lord Derby, he went bold
ly and set up his easel.
But he reckoned without the race
course policeman, who told him to "get
out of it," mistakipg his easel for a
stand. AS he had not got written
permission, he told the policeman he
was a guest of Lord Derby; but the
unbelieving bobby only said: "Same
old yarn. They all do It'll Come out
Of It'll" And Mr.. Lavery had to "come."
