selling orders, the corn market recedcd
again this morning. Some resting
orders to buy May were encountered
below S1S2. Trade was active anG
mixed.
Among the bearish factors were
larger receipts, the arrivals here
amounting to 222 cars. and statements
that the supply of cars was more plen =
tiful, as well rs further recessions in
live hogs. Moreover. operators took
a more favorable view of the coal
situation. The weather, however, was
unsettled.
December opened at $1.3Sl4 to 81 .3S,
against 81 1884 at the close yesterday
and later sold at S1,3Sh. January
started at a decline of 3sc, at 81 .341s
moved up to S1.343s and then sagged.
May was quoted at $1.32H to 81 81
at the outset, against $1.32h at the
end Yesterday, and, after touching
81 II 1s rallied slightly.
Oats generally were easier. May was
affected particularly by selling by a
leading elevator interest. On the set e
back, there was buying by commission
houses. 1t was reported that leading

.cOmmodate a few Of Newport's
wealthy summer visitors. Ross
Winans became a guest.
There he saw the rainbow girl
break some Of the most unmanage-
able and widest colts on her fathers
farm; he saw her WELD an oar when
the fresh breezes in Narragansett Bay
kicked up waves that threatened to
capsiZe the dory; he saw her lend
hand in the field at harvest and ac-
cOmplish as much as any Of the men.
Echoes His Love for Horses.
The rainbow girls love for blooded
horses found an echo in Ross Winans'
old heart and an attachment was
born and grew. 1t was not long be-
fore he was telling her stories of far
countries and strange peoples while
they were seated on a rock overhang-
ing the sea. Then Mr.. Winans had
fishing piers built, and, with the rain
bow girl as his companion and both
wrapped in Oilskins, they would stand
on the end and angle for bass.
And another thing which appealed
to Ross Wihans' practical soul was
the rainbow girls adroit adjustment
"a circumstances. She would peddle
farm produce among the rich Of the
city in the morning and in the after.
noon, stylishly and tastefully dressed,
she would drive her pFahcinE cob

BriEhtened Old Mans Life.
In 1910 Ross Winans went back to
the Batemsn place. He was broken in
health. that part Of his family which
was not dead was scattered over the
face Of the earth, and his spirit was
bitter Int his morose moods, the
rainbow girl brought all her fresh
ness, virility, and bubbling spirits, and
Ross Winans seemed to care for no
one else; would seek no one else's So
ciety.
So when Ross WinGns' will was
read in 1912 Il was learned that
Dorothy Bateman. Newport, r. l., was
heir to %5OO.O0 But the rainbow girl
was inconsolabIe; her friend and COM
panion was gone. And the first thing
she did with her pot OF gold was 10
give S150,OOO for the grandchildren Of
Ross Winans, whose fathers prop
crty was in litigation with little pros
pect OF its being retained.
And, a few days later, the rainbow
girl delivered the morning milk to her
customers.
Her Features Characteristic.

a broad, well-formed forehead; wide
spaced eyes. straight nose and mobile
mouth. II shows a wealth OF blond
hair and a symmetrical figure. But
