it so SOON" Doris commented. 1T
was only last night that he asked
me what kind of stone l liked

best for engagement rings. So
said that l thought a single dis-
mond was nice--if it was a hand
some one. He only smiled, but l
guessed by the look on his face
that he was planning just what he
would get.
81 let him take the little pearl
ring to measure by-so this ring
is just the right size"
1.-THE pearl ring" Ruth gasped.
"Yes." Doris replied, practically.
"the pearl ring that Hugh gave me,
you know-the one that is like that
old one of grandmother's that yau
have. or course Ralph did not sus-

Ruth answered very quietly, II
would put II away, and when he is
quite well again l would return it

"Why. yes. I guess that would be
the correct thing" Doris agreed.
"Oh. Ruthie," turning her hand
about and watching the colors
flashing in her diamond, isn't this
gorgeous? I'm so happy that l do
not know how to express it."
Idle Comparisons.
II am glad you arc so happy"
Ruth said genuinely. And I hope
that you may always be just as
happy as yo uare now"
We'll, you are a dear to say
that" Darts smiled. ITO tell the
truth, Ruth, you have been so Sc
we're in your manner lately that I
was pretty sure that you would

"But''--perching herself on the
side OF her sisters bed. and drop

pitch--"don't you see dear, that II

Hugh, If / had married him, loving

THAT is what Ralph says. And
besides that, ! do not belieye that
Hugh was ever as crazy about me
as Ralph is. He did not act so.
Ralph is all the time planning

She bent and kissed her sister.

the slender form.

COIL tonnage
HEAVY IN nov.
Almost Doubles That of
November, 1919, Due
To Strike

Almost twice as much coal was
produced on the Monongah division
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
in November 1920, than there was
in November, 1919. The big fall
off in production in November,
1919, was due to the bituminous
coal strike, which affected North
ern West Virginia, but not as seri-
ously as some other coal producing
regions in this country.
The exact tonnage figures are:
November, 1920. 1,140,9OO tons OF
coal and 420 cars of coke; Novem-
Der, 1919, 57505o tons Of coal and
40 cars Of coke. The coal produc.
ton of November, 1913, was hard.
est hit in the week ending the 8th
when there were but 1876 cars OF
coal loaded on the division. The
week ending the 18th totaled 1,04O
cars Of coal and coke; the week
ending the 22d. 1892 cars Of coal
and coke and the closing week, s.
073 cars.
The production last month was
nothing unusual but usually several
hundred cars q week over and
above the 5000 car mark on the 3.
& o. Mines along the Mononga-
hela railway In West Virginia pro-
duced 7.14j cars of coal while those
in the Pennsylvania district loaded
S,642 cars OF coal. Western Mary
land production last month was 81
642 cars Of coal.
Last month there we're 3,466 cars
of coal loaded for Curtis Bay,
against &c cars in November, 1919'
and 1876 cars OF coal to st. Georges
alst month compared to 81 cars in
November, 1918. Lave shipments
last month we're 1874 carloads
against 396 cars in November,
1919.
