In its chief essentials the market fol-
lowed the course of recent days. Exten,
. sive profit taking and heaviness which
specia1ties provoked recessions which
largely wiped out gains. Broader buying
set in later, causing general adjustment
of prices to above best quotations of the
first hour. Seasoned industrials and in
vestment rails led the second rise. West
inghouse continued to feature the equip
ments Utilities developed sudden strength,

Power preferred advancing to 6 points.
Steel mounted to 1.22k before midday when
trading became more spirited. Bonds were
irregular, United States governments again
shading.
Prices rose again at the outset of today-s
trading with further confident absorption
and short covering of the various issues
embraced in the war group. T. S. steel
rose almost point to 1.2217 or within a
fraction of its recent record. Other equip
ments and munitions were / to points
higher, Westinghouse showing marked ac-

lures. Recessions in General Motors Stude-

tended from IL to almost points. Rails
and coppers were slightly irregular.

This normal course of unsuccessful

council Of deputies has undertaken to sup

MY hope is that when the present enc

only the called bourgeoisie. but also the
stand for the restoration of order they
will, without compelling us to take action,
abandon their present anarchcal methods,

body and turn it to hardness. For q
second I stood as a stone; then sud.
den resolve rose in me, and again that
daredevil seized upon my thought
took piece Of that white paper with
caution and also pencil and with
them slipped from the room, while that
wild Jim seated himself upon my low
ly stoof beside the table at which again
the two great men were writing.
: And out in the soft light that was
now slowly fading from the side Of
the mountain. because Of the retire
ment of the sun I sat me down upon
the step Of the hut and wrote to my
Gouverneur Faulkner this small letter:
Honored Excellency the Gouverneur
Faulkner Of the State Of Harpeth-I go
from you into the trenches Of France. II
your humble boy Robert has done for you
any small service, I beg Of you In that
name that my uncle, the General Robert.

Marquise Of Gree and Bye.
Then left that letter upon the door
step, held In place by the weight Of
stone, and very softly slipped out into
the shadows Of the twilight and down
the mountain by the path up which
that morning had come with my be-
loved Gouverneur Faulkner. then my
friend. t
I felt certainty that as many as
two hours would those men continue
In a consulting with that wild Jim and
In that time by going fleetingly I could
gain the place where were tethered
the horses before complete darkness
had come. From my honored father I
had learned the ways Of woods in hunt

Lightfoot would in darkness carry me
In safety to his stall In the barn Of
Mr.. Bud Bell, beside which stood my
cherry.

The Hundred Years War.

The origin Of the Hundred Years
war was the king Of England's claim
to the crown Of France. Philip Of
France left three sons. all Of whom
died without issue. and the nearest
male heirs were Edward ILL.,. who was
the nephew of the three sons, and
Philip de Valois, who was their cousin.
The law In Edwards claim Is the Sale
law, which passed over women, and
Edward owed his blood relationship to
his mother. Edward claimed that,
though Salic law applied to his mother,
being q woman. it could not apply to
him. being man. On this dispute be-
