following the departure OF two over
dressed girls and their ambitious
mother
I confess that IL is preferable

put aside her knitting and laid her
gray head restfully against the back
Of her chair.
How did the impression ever get
out that your village maiden is a
symphony in simplicity as TO dress
and manner? She's usually a carl
cature Of the prevailing modes. she
eats too much and exercises too lit
tie for her cOmplexion's sake. and
she depends upon the smattering OF
intellectual equipment picked up in
a year at some boarding school in
stead OF doing a bit OF intelligent
reading every day. The result is.
well--just what we've had with US
this evening"
Yes. John, and yet II is only nat
ural. II is not easy 70 get acquaint-
ed with the world except through
contact with II. and you1l have to
admit Maysville's isolation from the
big things OF the world"
But its very isolation should
quicken intellectual curiosity if a
latent spark of il exists. So far. /
haven't struck a single spark among
the bonny bromides I've met"
The next morning John went off
early for a days fishing but he was
annoyed TO find his favOrite haunt
under a big elm occupied. He had
spent so many mornings there that
ne had come to regard the messy
seat on the rocks as his personal
property but there was an intruder,
and. worse luck. a girl. He stop
ped only a few feet from her, but
she did not turn her head the slight
est bit The truth was she had a
fascinating nibble at her hook, but
John didn't notice that. What he
did notice was that above the
straight lines of her MILDLY the girls
dark auburn head was held high in
q Queenly pose, that her skin was
dazzingly clear and that her profile
was the loveliest he had ever seen.
With quick movement the girl
leaned slightly forward. gave her
bamboo pole a whirl and landed a
four-pound black bass directly at
Johns feet.
Bravo" called John, promptly,
all annoyance at the intrusion hav-
ing been replaced by admiration
for the intruder.
Not a bad beginning. is it?' The
smiling response came in a voice Of
natural sweetness.

And II you don't marry II means
that yOuH become the worst OF al
bores-an unattached old man with

snapped her knitting needles impa-
tiently.
Her nephew. tall and broad in MS
well-ftting tweeds. stood with an ell
bow on the living room mantel and
gazed with a mans marveling at the
fast-growing gray sweater she was
knitting.
why. John. even at forty you are

But, Aunt Jane. would a wife

You'll get back to such subjects
often enough, my boy. And you've
made such a wonderful record as a
lawyer. John: now don't go and spoil
il all by becoming a fossil"
You're merciless, auntie; I'm ac-
tually afraid 10 go with you TO your
Maysville cottage, lest you hand
cuff me 10 some village queen and
march me off to the Justice of
peace"
And it might be well for you if

have already done is 10 have your

pressed in advance with my house

I'm glad you abandoned your apart

Maysville was always enlivened by
the coming Of Mrs. Antes TO her
summer home in its shady suburbs.
Her coming always meant one or
more morning porch parties for
matrons and at least one garden
party for Maysviile maidens. And
when these maidens learned OF the
presence in her home of her bach
eIor nephew. they made due note OF
the possibilities thereby involved.
and made 50 many friendly over
lures that the nephew took 10 the
river bank daily whether he wanted
10 fish or TO read anthrOpological
lore.

ONLY ABOUT 78 MILLION
BUSHELS WHEAT TO SHIP

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Of this
years wheat crop only 1856. 900
bushels or about lis percent win
be left for export 10 the allies and
neutraIs after the requirements of
the United states are filled, unless
Americans heed the call OF the
food administration and curtail
their consumption.
Experts of the bureau of crop
estimates in calculating this years
theoretical wheat surplus have
placed the consumption at ten per-
cent less than the normal of So
bushels. as this years conditions
resemble those of 1916 when the
apparent per capita consumption
was about AIS bushels. For the
estimated population Of the coun-
try-IO3. 635, 900 people - the re-
ouirement on that basis is 494,S30,
600 bushels. Seed requirements
they estimate at s7.271. 900 bushels
This years wheat crop from the
preliminary estimates is e59,T97.-
600 bushels and the total require
ments of the United States are
placed at 52.1O1.OOO bushels. leav-
.inz 1886. 900 bushels surplus
Food administration officials
figure the allied countries will have
a deficiency of more than 400, 0o0,-

conversation which they afterward
continued desultorily and in low
tones as they sat side BY side with
their lines thrown far into the
stream.
The quiet beauty here only en-
phasizes ones conception Of the
chaos in France. said John. after
rather a long silence.
Yes. and makes me question my
right 20 stay here even for an hour
when I might be helping some

phasis on the word helping
"As I've sat here day after day"
said John, haltingly, I've thought
out a plan of what I hope to do.
Wonder If you'd tell me what you
think Of it?"
"Oh. do tell me about it, I'm so
glad you're going TO do something"
So he told her Of his plan to open
his mothers old colonial country
house. which for the ten years since
her death had been unoccupied. and
~
phans as il would hold. Then they
discussed it with enthusiasm until
she had TO go 10 keep a luncheon
engagement. Only as she disappear
ed did John realize that he had no
assurance of meeting her again, and
he was so unhappy over the posi-
bility that he lost interest in his sur
roundings and went slowly back TO
his aunt's home. entering the
grounds by way of the orchard, and
the house by way Of a side porch.
Come here, you tramp!" called
Mrs. Antes from the dining room.
Il shall present you 10 my guest just
as you are"
And John. obeying her summons,
was in the dining room doorway be-
fore he dreamed that the guest was
his charming companion Of an hour
before and that her name was Grace
Morton.

ION" said Mrs. Antes. and was a lit
tie puzzled that both OF them blush
ed so noticeably. Hurry into pre-
sentable clothes, John, and have
luncheon with us. You must tell
Miss Morton all about your plans for
the orphans home. and, as she is
just home from completing a kinder
garten course, I'm sure she can give
you many suggestions"
Nothing would please me so
much as to have Miss Morton's help
in working out my plans" said John
in a tone sincerely serious.
But Mrs. Antes remained curious
about their mutual and very evident
until the following
week. when they confessed It's cause

The average carrying capacity per

Only five per cent Of the freight

energies 10 the defence Of the coast.
The Germans had been bombing
for several days. but with little
damage to the Russian defending
fleet. 1t is regarded as not i'm
probable that if they are success
full in holding the islands, air raids
upon Petrograd will be conducted
by the Germans from these bases.
An official statement issued today
said:
The Germans had been prepar-
on the islands of Osel and Dago
and their operations were facil-
itated by the weakness of the Rus
sian patrol service. The landing
was done with extraordinary rapid
fly The forces landed are estimated
at one or two divisions.
THE loss of the islands deprives
the Russians of their heretofore
commanding position over the gulf
of Riga and enables the enemy TO
undertake new operations probable
in the direction of Hapsal. The
loss of the islands necessitates a
change in the Russian army's pO-
sition around Segevold, and a
withdrawal to the fVenden-Valk
line.
AS soon as the return from
headquarters Of Admiral Verderv-
ski. minister of marine, brought

The government takes a different
view Of the situation. It does not
propose TO have it's transport facil-
tiles interfered with. For this rea-
son shipping men believe the gov
eminent, in case Of a strike. will
step in and assume direct charge.
The acuteness OF the situation is
emphasized in the fact that the In
