ceiling and down again, warming and
thickening the room. The smell of
coffee came through finally, and the
sound of seething, and with her bril-
liant head flung back against the rise
OF steam, she pushed the overlooking
pot to the rear of the stove, raised the
stove lid and poked at the live Goals,
their red flowing all over her. ...
Then she sat down in the low rocker
between the range and the indoor
! cistern, but not back against it; erect
instead, with her ears straining through
the steady sound of rain and her hands,
where they closed over the chair, white
at the finger nails. .
AT Z o'clock, and in some uncertainty,
Steven kineady turned in at his gate ;
came his footsteps around to the side
entrance, placed at uneven intervals,
and the sound of mud sucking as the
shoes withdrew.
Within her chair and in silence
that seemed to shape itself for some =
thing shameful, Annie Kineady. sat as
if the rivers of her blood had ceased to
flow.
Yet when Steven Kineady finally
| flung open the door. letting i'll fine
gust of wind and rain, he was smiling
and rubbing his great rough hands to-
gether and shaking the spray from his
six feet of great bulk. Tiny drops lay
glistening on his sand colored mus
tache and the shiny visor of his cap.
At the sink he even paused to remove
his oilskip jacket, methodically and
out of his habit folding it,, removing
his high, mud caked boots and padding
toward her in socks of her own knit
ting: -,
"Now, now, Annie, get up like a
good girl. You think, / m % little late
and / amt all right, don't you: You

"Quit!" she said, springing back
from his impending kiss. "Quit ~
He sat down Immediately, holding
out his hands toward the range. His
blue eyes, edged in long lashes which
curved like a child's, were murky in
the pupils and the whites of them were
infamed with little threads of blood
running through.
'.Br-r-r-r. Cold" he said, hunching
his great shoulders and rubbing his
palms rapidly to generate warmth be-
tween them. Cold
She stood back against the clstern.
"Ah h h h. :" He flung out his heavy
legs, slipping down in his chair, chin
on his face as the indoor, warmth and
dryness crept on his face, and he closed
his eyes and lay back.
Supper, girl" he said finally.
She leaned to him, her ear tuned to
his breathing, second of doubt flash
ing over her as he lay quiescent.
'Steve--Stevey, are-are you tired?
Is that all's the--the matter?"
"Tired."
"Or-or have you been taking a
drop?'
"Quit your gassin'."
Her incertitude went out like a
candle light.

Bulls in the corn market made
much of talk that since the recent

and in some cases were refusing
cars offered by the railroads. On
the other hand shippers here were
free buyers and 20 q considerable

market away from industries. Fur
Their reports of planting delays due
to persistent wet weather in i'm
portant sections counted as a
stimulus to demand. It was said
that eastern shorts covered on a

substantial gains.
Apart from the enlarged offer

Far more than the usual actiy-
ity was shown by foreign ,ex-
change, the Paris rate strengthen
ing considerably while German re-
mlttances continued to advance,
marks approXimating 8 cents. their
highest quotation in many months.
Sterling eased, however, in the
absence of statements concerning
gold exports from London.
Industrial and commercial con-
dlttons presented more stable as
poets, further progress being made
toward the dissolution of the|
freight tieup, while the price cut
ting movement appeared 10 excite
less apprehension among merch-
ants.
There was an injection of the
political element, brokers with
Washington connections receiving
adViees indicating that action on
the bonus bill is not likely to be |
taken before the approaching re-
cess of congress.
Metal issues figured more than
ordinarily in the days broad buy
ing of stocks. Coppers made con-
siderable Roadway on reports that |
extensive buying orders for foreign |
consumption are impending. Rails
also contributed more than their
usual quota at moderate gains but

bulk Of the trading. Sales 1000 |
