Morgan's cheek, snowy and cold. was
pressing his nose slightly to one side;
and a mOnstrous amount of her fur
boa seemed to mingle with an equally
unplausible quantity of snow in his
mouth. He was confused, but con-
1scious of no objection to any OF these
Juxtapositions. She was apparently
uninjured, for she sat UP, hatless, her
hair down, and said mildly:

Portable vehicle sagged slightly to one
side; the paint was old and scanned
with hundreds of minute cracks like
little rivers on a black map; the
coachman, fat and elderly darby,
seemed to browse upon the box; but
the open window afforded the occu-
pants Of the cutter a glimpse of a
tired, fine old face, silk hat, pearl
tie and an astrachan collar, evidently
out to take the air.
'There's your grandfather now,
said Lucy. 'Tsn't it?"
Georges frown was not relaxed.
''Yes, it is; and he ought to give that
rat trap away and sell those old
horses. They're disgrace, all shaggy

"But how could he stop themT
Lucy asked, surely with reason. "If
he sold them the land it's theirs, isn't
itY'
George remained serene in the face
Of this apparently difficult question.
''He ought to have all the tradespeople
boycott the families that sell part Of
their yards that way. All he'd have to
do would be to tell the tradespeople
they wouldn't get any more orders
from the family If they didn't do it."

leather, and that snow was clinging
to them. She made little rush
toward him. and, as one OF his feet
rested on the iron step of the machine,
in mounting, she began to clean the
snow from his shoe with her almost
aerial lace handkerchief. 'You mustn't

exclamation referred to the subterra-

came from beneath the. floor, and the
vehicle plunged, then rolled noisily

easily; and George felt that 1t was not
just the thing for his mother to call
Morgan ''Eugene;" the resentment of
the previous night came upon George
again. Meanwhile his mother and
Morgan continued their talk; but he
could no longer hear what they said;
the noise Of the car and his unele's
songful mood prevented. He marked
how animated Isabel seemed; It was
not strange to see ais mother so gay,
but it was strange that a man not of
the family should be the cause Of
her gayety. And George sat frOwning.

 Didn't what?" asked Imogene.
 Didn't think of the sermon,' replied Andrew.
 DO you mean that you didn't listen?' asked Imogene.

 Neither could T." exclaimed Andrew, laying his paper in his lap.
 That's the reason I didn't think think about it. Listening to a preacher when you cannot see him is like listen ing to Caruso in the opera house and listening to him on the photograph. In the phonograp you keep waiting for him-aso step out from between where the slats let out the sound.@
 All morning while that preacher was talking I kept waiting for him to step out from behind two tan-colored goose quills that were planted in the stern sheets of a bonnet in the pew in front of me. After a fisherman has watched a red and green float for a certain length of time, expecting every minute to see it jerked under water by a fish, his gaze wanders from the float and his mind from the fish. It was just that way with me. There was little space two feet square on the pulpit where 1 could have seen the parson, but he didn't wander over into my range for the first half of the sermon and I got to watching the goose quills l was telling you about.
 ''The milliner couldn't have been very busy the day she made that hat, for the two quills were standing upright side by side, about one inch apart, and she had plaited the fronds of the two quills till they looked like the splint bottom of an old fashioned chair.

Commercial Relations Between France and
 Germany to Be Resumed
py Associated Press

Paris. October 6.--The French newspa- ners in articles dealing with the indus trial relations on a pre-war basis as soon as the end of the state of war is officially declared, indicate that, in spite of the feeling which exists against the former enemies of France, commercial relations between France and Germany will at once develop on a large scale.
 Even the conservative press, including papers like the Intransigeant. are advo- eating trade with Germany as the only remedy for the unfavorable position of French exchange. Relations with busi- ness interests on the left bank of the Rhine are particularly favored by the press.
 Official sanction to immediate resump- tion of commerce with Germany was the interpretation given in some quarters to the statement in the chamber of deputies recently of Louis Klotz, minister of finance, when, without naming Germany he said France should buy from coun< tries to the east, where the rate of ex- change is favorable rather than agra vate the position of France, the United States and Great Britain by increasing the balance of trade against France in those countries.
 Opinions expressed by men described as good judges of French character. tend to show that heartburnings caused by the war and devastations will not prove a great, obstacle to resumption of relations with Germany and that the material ad- vantage to be derived will be the deter mining factor.
