CHAPTER XIV,

Daphne wanted to run away from
her thoughts and she walked for
mile or two up the deep ravine of
Broadway. She dared not go back to
Mrs. Chivvis just yet with her bad
news. She thought of asking Clay for
loan. She swept the appalling idea
from her brain with puff of derision.
Besides, he was out of town, Bayard
had said. She thought Of asking Tom
Duane for it. She tried to blow that
idea from her mind, but it kept drift
ing back like bit of stubborn thistle
down. She could not outwalk it.
At length she grew so desperate
that she stopped at telephone booth
and brazenly called up Duane's num-
Der. He CHANGED to be at home. When
he heard her voice he cried:
"Oh Lord, it's good to hear you.
Sing again, sing again, Nightingale"
I'm no nightingale. I'm business
woman. offering you an investment"
She told him the whole story. The
name of Mrs. Romilly made him whis-
tie. "Old Gorgon Zola," he called her,
and added, you're made woman"
"But the clothes aren't made, and l
can't make 'em till get some money.
Would you-could you advance me
little on the most excellent security?"
"How much do you want? Where

"Hush. It's me that thanks you.
Don't you want more?"
mo, thanks"
ut will be there in the early mail
and I may call round later to put a
mortgage or something on the place."
"GOod-by," she chuckled, and hung
up the receiver. She was crying soft
ly as she stole from the blessed booth.
and she looked less like a successful
business woman than ever.
Something made her think of Weth-
erell. She stopped off at Bayards
floor and rang the bell. Leila's new
butler admitted her with pomp. Daph-
ne walked past him into the drawing
room. Leila and Wetherell were
standing there in heavy coats. They
seemed to be little shocked at seeing
Daphne. She was horribly hurt at
seeing them, but she chirruped:
"Just come in?"
"Just going out" Leila answered,
kissing Daphne nervously.
"Where?" Daphne asked, with in
trepidity, as she shook hands with
Wetherell-a prize-fighter's prelimi-
nary handshale it was.
"Oh-er-just motoring about a
bit"
'Thanks-Td love It," Daphne dared
to say, almost as much amazed as
they were at hearing her accept the
invitation that had not been given.
She was quite shameless from their
point Of view, but she felt that it
would be objectionable to let her
brothers wife go unrebuked or at
least unaided and unchaperoned on a
cruise so perilous to reputation If not
to character.
While she was at the miserable
business she decided to make a good
job of it. When they went down to
the car. she squeezed in between Leila
and Wetherell. Leila blanched with
jealousy and cold rage.
They dined at Long Beach and
watched the dancers, in sullen mood.
Wetherell ordered much champagne
and would not listen to Leila's pleas
little by his reckless mood. and
Daphne began to dread the journey
home in the dark with champagned
hands on the ST pg wheel.

with the brisk manner Of triumphant
capitalist. But that was bluff for out
ward effect. He was actually dizzy
with loss of bearings and control
Bayard had carried heavier burdens
than Clay, and under the sting of
Leila's whip had taken greater risks
for higher prizes. The crash in the
street had found him so extended that
he could not recover without addition
al help. That very morning one Of
his brokers had called on him for a re-
newal of margins. He had to have
five thousand dollars or he would lose
fifty.
Rebuffed from every door, Bayard
had gone to Wetherells office-a mys-
FERROUS sort Of place surrounded by
guards and secret service men to
ward off the menace of spies, real and
imaginary.
Bayard had unusual difficulty in
heard. A new man was in charge in
Wetherell's place, a retired British Of
ficer whose natural and affected gruff-
ness was aggravated by the unpleas-
ant nature of his tasks. He had only
one eye.
He made Bayard describe who and
what he was and what he wanted.
Only Bayard's desperation gave him
strength to ask this old Cyclops for
an advance on new contracts.
Bayard went away in stupor. He
had intelligence enough to feel that he
could less safely attack Wetherell
now than before. He would seem to
be implicated in the fellows malfeas-
ance. He would only advertise to his
creditors that his Wanted contracts
were worthless. Business men will en-
dure much to escape such publication
of their wrongs.
Bayard kept his head high till he
reached his own Office. Then he fell
into his chair and propped his elbows
on his desk and gripped his hot brows
in his hands as If he We're holding his
skull together. 1t is the business mans
attitude of prayer.
1t was thus that Daphne found him

Bayard apologized cravenly and

permitted to steal back to Leila. He
took her one unchanged hand; it was
as beautiful as the severed hand Of q

and cold.
The inferno led him at length out

Special Despatch to THE Sun.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The coming
OF peace will not alter the policy of
the United States either in wheat con-
troll or control over imports and ex-
ports Of wheat and wheat -four. The
War Trade Board was a strictly war
time organization and its affairs are
being wound up and all its import and
export restrictions are to be removed.
The board announced to-day. how
yer, that, effective July I, all control

of wheat and wheat -four heretofore
vested in the board under the espion-
age act and the trading with the
enemy act, in accordance with the
Presidents proclamation under the
wheat guarantee act. wiIf> be trans
ferred and vested in the United States
Wheat Director.
This means that wheat and -four ship
ments to and from the United States
will be restricted and kept under close
supervision. probably for so long a time
as the Government guarantees the price
Of wheat. Such control. II Is pointed out,
can be used largely to prevent the break
ing of the American wheat market from
outside sources through bringing i'll
cheaper Canadian or Australian wheat
or otherwise.
All outstanding unused export or im-
port licenses issued by the War Trade
Board for wheat or wheat -four are TO
be revoked. effective July /, and collec-
tors of customs have been advised that
such licenses will have no further force
or effect after that date. Ships load
ing on the first of the month or clear
ing on that day will have to obtain new
licenses from the Wheat Director. The
new licenses are to be issued from the
Wheat Directors Office. at AZ Broadway,
