COME BACK STAGED
BY WHEAT PRICES
By United Press.

By United Press.
Chicago, Dec. 2-Wheat prices
staged a strong comeback on the
Chicago board OF trade today.
Gains were made of from eight to
ten cents per bushel according to
quotations on wheat for future de-
livery. Other grains made a slight
gain in sympathy with the upward
trend of wheat.
The rise in wheat was due to the
considerable buying by houses with
export connections and by those who
were covering shorts.

Miss Vartenousch Karagheusian,
the first Armenian girl held as an
Arab slave to arrive in America after
being rescued by the Near East relief.
Miss Karagheusian bears on her right
hand the tattooed mark Of slavery. Her
adventures are thrilling, but similar to
those Of thousands of other young
Armenian girls who suffered exile and
torture at Turkish hands. With
her family she was driven miles into
Turk territory. OF her family she
alone survived the hardships of the
march. After months she succeeded
in having herself assigned to a Turk
ish hospital at Vartanousch. When
the British captured Jerusalem she es-
capped to their lines and was sent to
the American relief station in Beirut.
There she met soldier who knew
her brother in America. Brother and
sister corresponded and the first one
to meet her on arrival in New York
was John Karagheuslan, her brother,
a rug merchant of Minneapolis.

pressure of the fingers to keep him.
She was not asleep, but, thinking that
If he went he might get some rest, and
be better prepared for what she knew
was coming, she commanded those
longing fingers of hers-and let him
go.
He found the doctor standing with
the nurse in the hall; and, telling
them that his mother was browsing
now, George went back to his own
room, where he was startled to find
his grandfather lying on the bed, and
his uncle leaning against the wall.
They had gone home two hours before,
and he did not know they had return
ed.
THE doctor thought we'd better
come over" ANDERSON said, then was
silent, and George, shaking violeAtly,
sat down on the edge Of the bed. His
shaking continued, and from time to
time he wiped heavy sweat from his
forehead.
The hours passed, and sometimes
the old man upon the bed would snore
little, stop suddenly, and move as if
to rise, but George ANDERSON would
set hand upon his shoulder, and
murmur a reassuring word or two.
Once George gasped detiantly:
THAT doctor in New York said she
might get better Don't you know he
didG Don't you know he said she
might?"
ANDERSON made no answer.
Dawn had been murking through
the smoky windows, growing strong
er for half an hour, when both men
started violently at a sound in the
hall; and the Major sat up on the bed.
1t was the voice of the nurse speaking
to Fanny Minafer, and the next mo-
meEt Fanny appeared In the doorway
making contOrted efforts to speak.
Anderson said weakly: Does she
want us-tO come in?"
But Fanny found her voice, and ut
tered Il long, loud cry. She threw her
arms about George, and sobbed in an
agony of loss and compassion:
"She loved you" she walled. "She
loved You! She loved you! Oh, how
she did love you'll" .
Isabel had just left them.

a Catholic and is said to give great
sums to charity and to go about with
he gentry In consequence, but Sgd
ley's ailing and lives in a wheel chair
most of the time. 1t struck ME Isabel
ought 10 be doing the same thing"
He paused, bestowing minute care
Ipon the removal of the little band
from his cigar; and as he seemed to
have concluded his narrative Eugene
spoke out of the shadow beyond a
heavily shaded lamp: what do you
mean by that?" he asked quietly.
"Oh, she's cheerful enough" said
Anderson, still not looking at either
his young hostess or her father. "At
least" he said, "she manages to seem
so. I'm afraid she hasn't been really
we'll for several years. OF course she
makes nothing Of it, but it seenSed
rather serious to me when l noticed
she had to stop and rest twice to
get up one short flight of stairs in
their two-foor apartment. l told her
l thought she ought to make George
let her come home"
"Let herY" Eugene repeated in a
low voice. "Does she want TOT"
"She doesn't urge it George seems
to like the life therein his grand,
gloomy and peculiar way; and of
course she'll never change about be-
ing proud of him and all that-he's
quite swell. But in spite Of anything
she said, rather than because. l know
she does indeed want to come. Shed
like to be with father, of course; and
l think she's-well, she intimated one
day that she feared it might even hap
pen that she wouldn't get to see him
again. At the time l thought she re-
ferred to his age and feebleness, but
on the boat coming home 1 remem-
bered the little look of usefulness,
yet Of resignation, with which she
said 1t, and it struck me all at once
that I'd been mistaken: saw she was
really thinking of her own state of
health"
II see." Eugene said, his voice even
lower than it had been before. "And
you say he won't let her come home"
ANDERSON laughed, but still contin-
ued to be interested in his cigar ooh,
don't think he uses force He's very
gentle with her. l doubt If the sub
ject is mentioned between them, and
yet-and yet, knowing my interesting
nephew as you do, wouldn't you think
that was about the way to put it?"
knowing him as 1 do-yes," said
Eugene slowly. Eyes, l should think
that was about the way to put it,"
A murmur out Of the shadows be-
yond him-a faint sound, musical and
feminine, yet expressive of a notable
intensity - seemed to indicate that
Lucy was of the same opinion.

Seminole Indian customs

Seminole Indians take care of their
own law-breakers and set their own
penalties, which must be obeyed I'M
less the Indian wants to be outlawed.
If an Indian is banished for a number
of moons, for instance, he must pre-
sent himself before the council, some
times for further punishment, unless
he wants TO be outlawed.
The Seminoles have managed to keep
themselves absolutely pure blooded by
the rigidity of their laws against in
termarriage with the whites. The pen
atty is death-but only once in recent
times has It been enforced, when the
Indian squaws hanged the Seminole
wife Of a white man, and destroyed
her child.

CHAPTER XIX.

LET her" was correct; but the time
came-and it came in the spring of
the next year-when it was no longer
question Of Georges letting his
mother come home. He had to bring
her, and to bring her quickly If she
was to see her father again; and Am
berson had been right: her danger of
never seeing him again lay not in the
Majors feebleness of heart but in her
own. AS it was George telegraphed
his uncle to have a wheeled chair at
the station, for the journey had been
disastrous, and to this hybrid vehicle,
placed close to the car platform, her
son carried her in his arms when she
arrived. She was unable to speak,
but patted her brothers and Fanny's
hands and looked Every sweet" Fanny
found the desperate courage to tell
her. She was lifted from the chair
into q carriage, and seemed a little
stronger as they drove home; for once
she took her hand from Georges and
waved 1t feebly toward the carriage
window,
Changed" she whispered. $50
changed"
"You mean the town." ANDERSON
said. "You mean the old place is
changed, don't you, dearT
She smiled and moved her lips:
"Yes."
It'll change to a happier place, old
dear" he said, now that you're back
in it, and going to get we'll again."
But she only looked at him visit
fully, her eyes a little fatigued.
When the carriage stopped her son
carried her into the house and up the
stairs to her own room, where a nurse
was waiting; and he came out a mo-
ment later, as the doctor went in. At
