Big Short Interest in Hide and Leather

Evidence that there is still large
short interest in American Hide and

day by the information that some
shorts had to pay premium of 1-64
per cent on stock borrowed overnight.

In other words, the borrowers were so

The market yesterday resumed its
advance. Steel common passed 95;
some automobile and sugar stocks
added and points to their price.
Marine preferred recovered. 1t is
significant that on Monday, when
the market was rising, activity was
at a rate of 100000 shares a day;
Tuesday, when prices fell, only 600,-
900 shares were traded in; yesterr
day. when prices rose again, the
,000-share pace was resumed. AS
many shares cannot be bought when
they decline as can be sold when
they go up. Of course, there was
the days news. If the Marine COM
pany could not sell its ships to the
American government it was free to
sell them to the British syndicate.
President Wilson's conference of
Governors on business reestablish-
ment might do some good. But the
favorable thing here was not the
news, but the differences. The in
ferences might not have been so op-
timistic if the market had gone the
other way. The rise Of the last two
weeks has been based simply on the
markets belief that the first stage Of
readjustment had already been dis
counted by stock market prices, and
that stock market prices two weeks
ago had even gone too low.

The above rates express the cost of
foreign morcy in terms of the Ameri-

sterling, say, at s4.7oM. The intrinsic

say either that pounds are at dis

put these thoughts away from her as
unworthy the loftier aims Of ambition.
Then one day John heard of a place
in the far West where golden oppor-
tunities awaited young men of pur-
pose and character. and he decided to
go.
1t was when he was bidding Allison
good-by that the vine-covered cottage
dream came to him again, and. act
ing on sudden impulse. the next mo-
ment he was telling her all about 1t.
Would she be willing to start life with
him in such humble home? Would
she wait for him7 Then suddenly he
stopped. abashed at what he had done.
With flushed cheeks the girl told
him OF her career. and the ladder of
fame she must climb No. she couldn't
promise. They could be friends,
friends-but nothing
more. She was right. OF course. John
reasoned. Then he determined anew

Resurrecting Happine ess

Hall could have the Rev. Thomas
Brooke for the lifting of finger. 1t
was not known why she did not have
him. That was Harriet's secret and
she kept IL as religiously as she kept
Sunday. Even Miss Jessup, who knew
everything. did not know that.
Harriet loved Norman West. 1t had
begun in their school days. She never
had any reason for loving him. but she
did. so strangely and perversely are
women made. Three different men she
refused because of him. and now she
was about to refuse another. She
never expected to marry Norman. but
she could not marry anybody else.
And she was all of thirty years old.
The strange, sad occurrence kept
Canton talking for long time. Miss
Jessup had a great deal to say about
II TO Harriet. The best thing Norman
can do is to get married again quick
as ever he can. OF course. know
he's poor and in debt, but seems like
some woman ought to take pity on
him. He's a fine man. Norman West

ashamed of his weakness.
But Allison was speaking. I'm SO
glad you've told me. I feared you
wouldn't he heard her saying, in
voice that thrilled him.
Then his hands were drawn gently
away from his face. and he looked
straight into a pair of tender gray
eyes.
"oh, john" she< cried. have you
never guessed that 1t Is lonesome work
climbing the ladder OF fame--alone?
Have you never realized that Il is
heart-breaking work amassing a for

She hesitated moment, then, In q
voice in which sobs and laughter seem-
ed to mingle, exclaimed:

you couldn't--oh. Harriet. you'd not
stoop to marry mel"
"It wouldn't be STOPPING TO marry
you. Norman" she answered quietly.
So they we're engaged. And two
weeks later they went to the Methodist
parsonage and were married. Har-
riet's friends would have made her a
wedding. but she declined. AS for the
Rev. Thomas Brooke. the day he heard
she was going to marry Norman West
he demanded vacation on account
of his health and went away and stay
ed until 1t was all over.
Harriet took the Vests to her own
home, where her housekeeper's cook
ing soon restored the roses TO the
neglected chiidren's cheeks. In no
time also people began TO look at Nor

solve. No one knew of the ladder of
fame. and Johns dream Of wealth to
lay at her feet.
1t was the last night OF Allison's
visit that, in answer to some question
she had asked, he thoughtlessly told
of his loss. And then, before he re-
allied it. he was pouring into her ears

gone along smoothly II these two
young people had only listened to the
sober counsels of ambition, but just
about that time another voice began
to whisper to them about radiant
future where neither fame nor wealth
mattered In the least. At such times
John would see little white cottage
with vines growing over the door. and
always in the open doorway he would
catch a glimpse of certain young
lady with gray eyes. wavy brown hair
and a most adorable smile. which in
variabIy made his heart beat faster.
Yes, 1t is a fact that this little teach
er's good looks played the mischief
with John and his plans for the fu-
ture.
And Allison Kent?
Why. sometimes the ladder Of fame
seemed TO her desperately high and
hard TO climb. and often she wonder
ed If making a home could be called
a career. But in the end she always
