against 299,o0o,0O year ago. Seriously
ponder on this statement. After June /.
next the Grain Corporation authority to
buy wheat at the guaranteed price ex-
pires, and thereafter the security of that
basis is withdrawn. The fact that present
prices largely rule over the government
guarantee should not obstr-uct a study of
conditions which may develop and at a
time when that price assurance no longer
exists. Americas complex and delicate
marketing structure must be preserved
and prepared to function when this agency
retires.
Price fluctuation always is followed by
distress and loss. Wisdom dictates the re-
duction of commitments to the minimum
required for the conduct of necessary
current business. We should not feel that
the full responsibility of this office had
been discharged without calling attention
to the price hazard which may exist for
many months, knowing that a large part
OF the producing and distributing trades
have been accustomed by two years Of
official sterilization and assurance per-

Walk That Tells Character

A peculiar walk is that of the long
stride with the decided swing of the
shoulders. This walk is generally to
be seen in authors, actors and artists,
and is characteristic of the art world,
the man who has ideas Of his own,
and is quite untrammeled by conven-
ton. 1t denotes independence and, IL
accompanied by an emphatic planting
down of the left foot, stamp in fact,
resolution and determination.

see that her eyes were big and soft
and frightened. She was hardly seven
teen, and to Hilliard she had never
ceased to be the child of two years
ago. He bent and kissed her; ner
lips We're trembling, expressive.
"Now we've got to hurry" he said.
"CoEe dearw
1t was the tone he would naturally
use to a child, but he had an uneasy
feeling that he had used it to a wom-
an. Children's lips aren't expressive.
And he had another intuition-still
more upsetting to him-Which was
that he had been observed. For on the
threshold of the outer door Carol and
Armstrong and Rufus Waring, as

cause of billiards. and Angela'S delay
were standing. :.
He could not tell, of course, whether
they had actually seen him. 1t was
possible that in the dusk of the hall
way he had escaped; certainly there
was nothing in the manner of any one
of the three, when Hilliard joined
them, to convince him one way or the
other. But he knew that he was in a
critical situation; he knew that to any
reasonable person who had seen him
at that spontaneous little outburst of
sentiment, his motives wouldn't appear
to be very Opaque.
No, the manner of those three who
had stood on the threshold was aston
ishingly casual. Perhaps too casual

glimpse their various expressions. All I!
Waring, striding stiltedly ahead had
thunderclouds on his forehead, and as
She turned to speak to Armstrong
and billiard knew.
For the remainder of the first stage
Of that walk, he spoke not a word to
Angela, who trudged along by his side
with God knows what tumults in her
bosom. He thought not of Angela, nor
concerned himself with the storm he
| had stirred within her. He was alb
sorbed solely with the puzzle which
lay before him, which was to detach
| Carol as soon as possible, and to eX-
plain himself. Otherwise, his reputa-
! ton was ashes even now.
And, to his unbOunded joy, the op-
portunity came sOOn-at the end of
the road, where the party halted for a
moment, to take a referendum as to
the route. Armstrong strayed yard
or two too far, and on the instant Hill
lard was at Carols elbow. She said
nothing, nor did he; but when the
march was resumed, he was beside her
and beating his brains for an intro
ductory remark. He had to convince
her he had been trifling with neither
herself nor Angela, and he walked a
good furlong before he could devise so
much as an opening sentence. AT
length he cleared his throat.

CHAPTER VII.

Since Friday night, billiard had
lived only for Sunday; his whole eXis-
tenCe had been turned to Sunday, and
when at last the morning dawned, his
greatest fear was that he might not
live until dinner-time.
On reaching Carols side, he was
both awkward and incoherent; and he
failed to derive encouragement from
the realization which gradually stole
over him, that the Durants had asked
a number of other guests to dinner.
Armstrong was waiting patiently in
the aisle, and keeping closer to Carol
than billiard liked, and there was also
a bright-faced boy of nineteen or TWEEN
~ who had promptly attached himself
to Angela-his name was Waring, and
he was the grandson of the patriarch
al clergyman, with the head Of Moses
and the spirit of youth, who presently
complete it. SO that altogether there
were nine people who finally sat down
to table; and billiards dream of quiet
progress and harbored conversation
was shattered in twinkling.
1t was all very homelike, and all
very friendly, but to billiard, sitting
there between Carol and her mother,
the occasion was peculiarly acute He
had long since discarded any residue
Of his active fears; he was con-
fdent in his disguise to the
point Of recklessness, for he had
covered the windings of the trail by an
infinite variety Of methods; and yet
without having any tangible facts to
grasp, he was subtly warned to re-
main on sentry duty over his poise.
He was gratfied that the conversa-
ton, after Que natural enough eddy,
was whireG away from the vicissitudes
of Dicky Morgan, for he had talked

Il time, he amused himself by watch
ing Angela and Waring playing their
world-Old game across the table; after
that, he paid little polite attention
to Mrs. Durant, and to the clergyman {;
and then snatching an opportunity I'M
looked for, he gave his kindest smile
to Carol, and for an instant took the
monopoly from Armstrong. And he
had hardly looked down once into her
OctOber-brown eyes before the mystery
of his restlessness was as clear as
crystal, and Hilliard was thoroughly
dumfounded, and confused.
1t had come upon him, a quarter of
an hour ago, as they exchanged their
first superficial sentences, that he was
lOnelier than he had ever imagined,
but he hadn't realized, until this inn
mediate contingency, that this sensa-
ton had carried over until now. He
was prevented, by the very limits of
the project which had brought him
here, from releasing any of his sincere
thoughts; he hadn't comprehended, I'M
til he had learned the truth just now
by actual experience, that loneliness
is nothing but an aggravated state of
Self-represSiOn. Never in all his life.
not even when he had lain for months
in hospital in France, had he been as
lonely as today, and at this moment,
when he was surrounded by people he
knew intimately, and when he was en-
joined from sharing In their communi-
ty of mind.
Carol, looking up at him with what
wasn't exactly a smile, but was at
least a cousin to it-that Well-remem-
bered flash of sympathetic interest,"
Carol spoke to him under cover of the
general conversation.
"a penny for your thoughts!" she
preferred
"They aren't worth It," said Hill
lard. Il was thinking about myself"
He continued to regard her steadily,
and he was alarmed to discover that
he was losing one of the abilities
which had made him so sure Of him
self. He continued to hold that she
had treated him shabbily, mercilessly;
but Notwithstanding that, as he gazed
at her, and perceived the sweet nat
uralness which was developing out of
last weeks shock, he was secretly per
turbed. In spite of himself, he be-
gan to see, as though by camera OBJ
scura dim visions of the past he was
righteously annoyed that they should
rise to torment him, and still the vi
sions came.
But after all that you've been
through" she said, Il should think
your thoughts about yourself would
be extremely Interestingly"

Miss Durant, whenever they touch on

soberly. But I'll have to confess that
it wasn't until you came-it wasn't
until after that first night at Angela's

had fled to the telephone in answer
to a peremptory summons, came back

she announced. "All three of US.
Very quiet, Carol said. SO l accepted
and that means you've got to stay
with us two days more anyway, Mr..
Hilliard. Do you mind very much?"
Mind" Hilliard had risen half
out of his chair. His tremendous
yearning to see Carol again, and his
violent reaction at the prospect, had
greatly influenced his voice, which was
strident, explosive. The Cullens were
laughing aloud at his confusion.
Hes blushing" crowed Angela.
"Look at him! Look at him !"
Indeed, he was crimson to the tenn
pies. Sunday-forty-eig hours How
he had spurned her and how he had
suffered from that moment until now
To see her again merely to see
her Business was business, and the
farce must go on; no matter what
else happened, he must hew out his
success; he had ceased to love her,
and he had come prepared for guerilla
warfare . but to see her again To
hear her voice! To watch that smile
of hers, and remember the tears she
had shed for Dicky Morgan!
Sunday-fOrty eight hours!
The Cullens were still laughing at
him, and in Angela's soprano there
was a note of feminine resentment, but
billiards ears were suddenly stone
deaf.
