FARMERS TO LOSE
IN RAISING WHEAT

Foundation for a new fight to raise
wheat prices fixed by the President
in his recent proclamation was laid
this afternoon when E. H. Thompson,
a Department of Agriculture expert
appeared before the Senate Agricul-
tural Committee to testify on the cost
of wheat production.
In response to questions by Senator
Norris Thompson said that under the
prices fXed by the President. 10 per
cent of the farmers would lose money
this year. IL their costs OF production
were the same as last year.
He said, however, that the cost of
production undoubtedly would in
crease from 10 to Is per cent, due to
increases in the costs of labor, ma
chinery, and fertilizers.

in his life John entered the famous
opera house. The prince, preceded by
an attendant, led the way to a boz
upon the second tier. A woman turned
her head as they entered and stretched
out her hand, which the prince raised
to his lips.
"You see. have taken you at your
word, Eugene" she remarked.
"You give me double pleasure. dear
Indy" the prince declared. "Not only
Is 1t a Joy to be your host. but you give
me also the opportunity Of presenting
to you my. friend, John Strangewey.
Strangewey. this is my very distant
relative and very dear friend, Lady
Hilia Muiloch."
Lady HIlda smiled grnciously at
John. She was apparently Of little
less than middle age, with dark bands
Of chestnut hair surmOunted by tinra.
Her face was the face of clever and
still beautiful woman; her figure slen-
der and dignined; her voice low and
delightful.
"Are you paying your nightly hom-
age to Calavera, Mr.. Strangewey, or
are you only an occasional visitor7'
she asked.
''This is my first visit Of any sort
to .Covent Garden" John told her.
She looked at him with as much sur-
prise as good breeding permitted. John.
who had not as yet sat down, seemed
almost preternaturally tall in TINT

WINS looking around the house with the
enthusiasm of a boy. Lady Hilda
glanced away from him toward the
prince, and smiled; then she looked
back at John. There was something
like admiration in he face.
''Do you live abroadf" she asked.
John shook his head.
II live In Cumberland" he said.
"Biany people here seem to think that

II have not been in London" John
told her, 'since passed through 1t on

ago."

clared frankly. "Is 1t the prince who
has induced You to break out of your
seclusion?"

CHAPTER xI.

The reception rooms Of Seyre House.
by some people considered the finest in
London, were crowded that night by a
brilliant and cosmopolitan assembly.
For some time John stood by the
princes side and was introduced to
more people than he had ever met be-
fore in his life. Presently, however.
he was discovered by his friend Amer
ton.
"Queer thing your being here, q
friend Of the prince and all thati" the
young man remarked. "Where's Miss
Sophy this EVENING""
'T haven't seen her." John replied. II
don't believe she is invited"
Like to be introduced to some Of
the girls, or shall we 60 and have q
drink?"
John was hesitating when he felt Q
hand upon his shoulder. The princes
voice sounded in his ear.
"Strangewey." he said. II am privi-
legged to present you to Nine. Aida

Of whom spoke to you"
John turned away from the little
group Of girls and young men toward
whom Amerton had been leading him.
The woman was different from any
thing he had imagined, from anything
he had ever seen. In the ballet q

gesture a note In the octave Of pas

dressed in white from head to foot.
Her face was almost marblelike In its
pallor, her smooth, black hair was
drawn tightly over her ears, and her
eyes were of the deepest shade Of blue.
She raised her hand, as he bowed, with
a gesture almost royal in its condescen-
sion. The prince, with quiet tact,
bridged over the moment during which
John struggled in vain for something
to say.
"Mr. Strangewey," he remarked.

promised.
They stood for q few moments In the

to the door. She detained him for q

and leaned out Of the window, her I'm
