the eager Neal who had pushed me

Desiree was non-plussed. Her
maids claims seemed fair enough.
The mistress had at the moment no

Naturally, Norah," she began,
Mr.. Leighton and 1 know that
Smith is honest and a good driver.
But as to his behavior in other re-
spects, we know little"
There's nothing to fear from
him, ma'am," the girl affirmed
quickly. I've seen a good many
men. and 1 know what they're like.
And the minute 1 first seen Smith,
l sized him up"
"Ah--did you?" was the dry
reioinder.
Yes, ma'am" Norah detected
no sarcasm in the question. MY
mother always told me there was
certain things no girl should let a
man do-and that nice men aren't
going to attempt them until they
know a girl well-things like ary-
ing to put their arms around her
and free actions like that"
Desiree gasped. 'Norah!" she ex-
claimed.
Yes, ma'am." the girl admitted,
''it is dreadful, isn't it? But there
is fellows as will do the likes of
that when they first meet a girl
and don't mean no real harm In II
neither. Now Smith, why, he's new
er so much aS"-
The sound of the doorbell reached
her ears, and she stopped abruptly.
"Oh, there's the bell! I guess
Annie's in the kitchen. I'll just
run down.
It's probably Smith with the
car"-Desiree began.
But the girl was already out of
hearing, speeding on her way
downstairs. She also suspected that
it was Smith with the car. Which
Desiree reflected frowningly, would
account for her haste.
She was baffled. She could say
no more on this subject unless she
forbade Norah to speak to Smith,
and she had no grounds for such a
sweeping interdiction. Norah was
decent girl, Smith was a decent
man. Why should they not be on
friendly terms?
She Hates the Thought
Moreover, and the thought made

viewpoint were Sne TO express ulS-
approval of any friendship between
chauffeur and maid.
So long asa neither neglected any
duties whose business was 1t how
good friends they were? That
would be her fathers argument.
And Desiree knew that he would be
right.
Yet she hated the thought of
Smiths chatting familiarity with
her maid. Surely this was unrea-
sonable. She must overcome the
ridiculous prejudice.
Downstairs, Norah was exchang-
ing a few hasty words with David.
He had spoken a brief good morning
and announced that the car was
awaiting it's mistress. Then Norah
had laid her hand impulsively on
his arm.
Smith" she giggled. Listen,
Miss Leighton says you can come
to call on me-"
I'avlo startled so violently as to
dislodge the hand resting on his
arm.
What" he calculated. What do
YOU mean?"

urged Phoebe jerkily.
ITS too late. Bertha carries out
orders promptly" l replied, going
over to make a minute and un-
necessary adjustment of the Win
dow draperies.
That gave me an excuse to turn
away from Phoebe and gave her a
chance to adjust herself. Even
with my back to her l could
visualize her eyes-fXed far-away
and propped wide so the tears
shouldn't brim over. And her quiv-
ering chin-I could imagine that,
too.
When I turned to Phoebe she had
risen and stood facing me. Little
as she is. she looked stately.

Yes" I gasped. And as soon as
we had Dick West disposed Of"
You knew" she went on. The
day l couldn't even drink my
lem onade because we always took
it. You knew and you let me
make a fool of myself"
There was a note of the Harri-
son pride in Phoebe's voice. Poor
little girl. she also was bitterly
proud. That would make things
harder for both of us. For the mo-
ment l felt as if I were-again fac
ing the aloof Phoebe of the painted
lips and hard eyes who had shut
me coldly out of her heart the day
Neal returned from soldering.
And I almost let it hold me off
almost let it force me to stand
discussing the matter academically
when what Phoebe needed was
some one to take her in kind arms
and mother her.
In a rush of pity and affection
I ran across the room, caught
Phoebe to me and pulled her down
on the couch with her head nestled
against me.
Dear little sister, I wanted to
tell you this-decently. And now
you've heard it all in an ugly fash.

Total Spring and Winter Wheat
Crop May Reach 1,100,-
100000 Bushels.
GREATEST ON RECORD
Agricultural Department Figures lndi'
cate That American Farmers
Will Receive Upwards Of
$780, 600.

Washington, April 15.-The total
spring and winter wheat crop grown by
the American farmer this year prom
Uses to be the greatest produced by
any nation in the world history, Agri
cultural department figures showed.
With the estimated winter yield OF
837.000.000 bushels, announced a week
ago, department estimates on the
spring wheat crop bring the total for
all wheat up to 1.1O0,000,000 bushels
this year, and it may run beyond this
figure.
The only crops ever approximating
this were the 1913 winter yield in Rus
STA of S3S,000,OOO bushels and single
billion bushel yield in the United
States.
The promised 1919 yield. with the
guaranteed price of 1925 per bushel
fixed by the government, means a re-
turn Of approximately $4,000. 600, 900 to
the farmers. Should the price of wheat
drop, it is pointed out, the government
would have big sum to make up.
Little chance however, is seen for
such drop this year. Russian pro-
duction. which in years past has been
about the same as the United States,
does not now figure in the world mar
ket. Hence the worlds supply still
will be far short Of needs until Russia
resumes it's former place as wheat
producing nation.
Another factor which officials here
say will tend to prevent drop in
wheat quotations is the cheapening of
money in every part of the world. The
American dollar, for example, is worth
only half as much as it was in 1918,
according to government statistics and
the pound, franc and lire have dropped
as much or more in value.
Therefore officials are confident the
government will not be obliged to buy
millions of bushels of wheat at loss
