Rails continued dull with no material

New Haven Gossip Renewed.
| The sensational decline of New Haven
to 43ss, the lowest price in nearly two
years, caused a resumption on change
of gossip circulating in the financial
circles for several weeks that a change
of management of the property is i'm
| pending. On vigorous denials the stock
| rallied more than a point in the final
dealings yesterday but the buying was
not particularly impressive then nor>to-
! day. AS far as the current earnings of
the company go, the present weakness
| of the stock does not seem to be war
| ranted, although the chances of divi-
dends being resumed seem very re-
note. A great deal of constructive
work must be done, at least SO far as
the property is reported to be in eX-
cellent shape.
| Talk of New Bethlehem Issue.

Corporation. liquidation in that stock ap-

The market was extremely narrow yes
terday and today and the rise cannot be
said to reflect approval by the conserva-
tive financing of the proposed capital re-
| adjustment plan While the plan may en-
able the present stockholders to liquidate
their holdings with facility. the invest
ment position of the stock would have
been greatly enhanced if the directors had
used the surplus TO pay off part of the
outstanding bonds. AS it is. there is re-
newed talk of an additional bond issue of
an amount equal perhaps to the new
capitalization of the company.
Trading Almost at Standstill.
Trading came to an absolute stand
still soon after the opening, the trans
actions of the first hour scarcely aggre-
eating 100000 shares. of which United
States Steel furnished about % per
cent.
Prices became slightly irregular on
a five-point reaction in Bethlehem
Steel and the moderate decline of Long
Island and Baldwin Locomotive
This was balanced, however, by
further gains in coppers, American Can
International Nickel, the utilities and
several inactive specialties,. including
Sears s-Roebuck and Owens Bottle Ma
chinery.
Aside from Norfolk & Western, which
lost point, and Western Maryland,
which dropped two points, rails re-
mained inactive.
Bonds were steady

prominent issues made further improve

on a basis of allied victory. The
Huns have a hold on Russia
through the bolsheviki and the
tr~eacherouS Lenine-Trotsky re-
gime. There are signs they
plot to restore a Russian mon
archy under Teuton auspices.
Such a proceeding would have
the gravest chances of evil.
With Russia's manpOwer and
vast resources subject to the
control of Germany the world
would face a problem indeed.
The democratic nations would
be hard pressed to stand
against such a power and that
such a power, if it had a chance
would be aggressive and ruth
less, may be taken for granted.
World safety calls for checking
the evil now and checking it
with a thoroughness that will
insure against future dangers.
An inconclusive war would be
just what Germany wants.

New Fabrlea Invented.

The war has cut down the supply OF
standard fabrics, but European chem
lists have met the situation in part by
lnventing new ones. Stories Of grass
clothes in the European markets are
numerous, but underwear manufac-
tured from q new waterproof material
made of cork is even more remarkable.
The latter is Of particularly great
value since the price of rubber has
become so high. 1t is made by treating
thin slices of cork with chemical baths
to remove the brittle substances and
then gluing them to cloth. The re-
suit is a fabric so flexible that 1t may
be folded up and so close In texture
that 1t affords efficient protection
against the rain and also against the
heat of the suh-at least such are the
claims made for 1t.

Indeed, the notion Of even a simple
wedding into the Aldrich family left
Portia rather aghast.
But this feeling was largely allayed
by Frederica's first call. Being cele
brated beauty and person Of great
social consequence, didn't, 1t appeared,
prevent one from being human and
slmple-mannered and altogether de
llghtful to have about. She was 80

emily. Il wouldn't Worrg about that
though. Because really, child, you
had no more chance of growing up to
be lawyer and leader of the cause
than l have of getting to be a briga-
dier-general."
Rose stopped brushing her hair and
demanded to be told why not. She
had been getting on all right up to
now, hadn't she?
"Why, just think" said Portia,
"what mother herself had gone through
when she was your age: put herself
through college because her father
didn't believe in higher education -
practically disowned her. She'd
taught six months in that awful school
remember? She was used to being
abused and ridiculed. And she was
working hard enough to have killed

lamb, you never really had to do any

Portia eyed her thoughtfully. "The

told of his labors in drafting new
city ordinance, she felt that it must
have been one of the most fascinat-
ing occupations in the world, un-
til he told her how it had drawn him
into politics, and then how after an
election a new states attorney had Of
fered him a position on his staff of
assistants.
In sense, of course, it was true
that he had, as Frederick would have
put 1t, forgotten she was there.
The girl knew he had forgotten, and
her only discomfort came from the
fear that the spell might be broken
and he might remember suddenly and
stop.
In the deeper sense-and she was
breathlessly conscious of this, too
he hadn't forgotten she was there.
He was telling it all because she was
there-because she was herself and
nobody else. She knew-though how,
she couldn't have explained-with
that intuitive certainty which is the
only real certainty there is, that the
story couldn't have been evoked from
him in just that way by anyone else
in the world.
At the end Of two years in the
states attorneys Office, he told her,
he figured he had his training and was
ready to begin.
II made just one resolution when I
hung out my shingle," he said, "and
that was that no matter how few
cases 1 got, wouldn't take any that
weren't interesting-that didn't give
me something to bite on. wasn't
willing to be bored for any reward
they had to offer me. It's cynical to
be bored. It's the worst immortality
there is. Well, and 1 never have been"
1t wasn't all photographed and
narrative. There was a lot of his
deep-breathing, spacious philosophy
Of life mixed up in 1t. And this the
girl, consciously and deliberately,
provoked. 1t didn't need much. She
said something about discipline and
he snatched the word away from her.
"What is discipline? Why, it's
standing the gaff - standing 1t, not
submitting to it. It's accepting the
facts Of life-of your own life, as they
happen to be. 1t isn't being conquer
ed by them. It's not making masters
Of them, but servants to the underly-
ing things you want"
She tried to make a reservation
there-suppose the things you wanted
weren't'good things?
But he wouldn't allow 1t. "What-
ever they are" he insisted, "your de-
slres are the only motive forces
you've got. No matter how fine your
intelligence is, it can't ride anywhere

CHAPTER ~.
How II Struck PortIa.

1t was just fortnight later that
Rose told her mother she was going
to marry Rodney Aldrich, thereby
giving that lady greater shock Of
surprise than, hitherto, she had ex-
perienced in the sixty years of a
tolerably eventful life.
Rose found her neatly writing a
paper at the boudoir desk in the little
room she called her den.
Mrs. Stanton said, "What, dearT
indlfferently enough, just In mechani-
cal response Of the matter-of-fact in
Election of RosalInd's voice. Then she
laid, down her pen, smiled in puzzled
way up into her daughters face, and

passions. Learn to ride them-control
them-spur them. But don't forget
that they're you just as essentially as
the rider IS"
It was with a curlously relaxed
body, her chin Graded in the crook Of
her arm, which lay along the back
Of the couch, her eyes unfocused on
the window, that the girl listened with
more and more poignantly vivid con-
sclousness Of the man himself, the
driving power Of him, Of something
carslessly exultTnt In his own strength.
