was Pauline, too.
1t passed, that evening, like raptur-
Gus dream. They parted in front of
he theater, Pauline insisting that

would try TO slip away on the same
evening of tie following week. And

SO Ii went on for month. Pau

and lost nothing of the air of mys-
terry which concealed her Identity as
| completely as the fur-trimmed wrap
| concealed her figure. and meanwhile
Miss Merritt grew more interesting
and cOmpaniOnable.
Came n Sunday when the tempera-
ture fell into the icy arms Of the
arctic winds, and that part of James
italian ancestor within him crawled
down into the depths of his nature
and fell fast asleep. But his Puritan
principles were right in their element.
They decided that never. no never,
would James be happy with anyone as
frivolous as Pauline. 1t was In this
frame of mind that James went to
call on Miss Merritt that evening.
That seventh sense, which warns all
women when man Is about TO pro-
pose, was on the job. and Miss Mer-
ritt's reply was prompt.
"AIr. Manning" she said calmly.
''are you sure you would rather marry
me than any other woman In the
world? 1 will leave you for 20 min
utes, then shall return and ask you
the same question again."
James Manning gazed at the door
through which Miss Merritt had passed
until the sound Of her footsteps ceased.
did she know? Then deep within him
something stirred and there came a
great longing for Pauline-Pauline
who, soft and fragrant and elusive in
her luxurious garments, typitied all
that Miss Merritt lacked. He would
find her. He would take her in his
arms and tell her how he loved her.
James raised his head, stood up,
stretched out his arms involuntarily
to the vision-and some one entered
the room and walked straight into
them!
would you rather marry me than
any other woman In the world. jim
mie?" The voice came with muffied
sweetness from James shoulder. Ut
terly confused, supremely happy. while
at the same time lOathing himself for
his vacillatiOn, James answered. Eyes,
dear"
Pauline drew away from James en-
brace. She removed the kippy little
hat and the beguiling veil. slid out Of
the enveloping wrap and from some
where produced pair Of shell-rimmed
spectacles. Putting them on she
looked at the bewildered-to-the-po point
of-speechlessness James. His eyes
roved helplessly back and forth from
the girl to the discarded garments.
Pauline Merritt laughed merrily.
ITS as simple as this. Jimmie James.
A wealthy cousin of mine was married
last month. She sent me all her old
clothes. And as for these"-tOuch-
ing the shell-rimmed glasses-"why,
they are penalty for having gone
without too long"
But loved You both!" James
seemed to be demanding Of himself the
answer to the puzzle, but Pauline
gave II.
"Why put It in the past tense, jim
ME James? Most men are bigamists
at heart" she said.

james decided that Miss Merritt was
most sensible young woman and all
his sober judgment could wish for.
But there were evenings when so
Der Judgment and James had nothing
to do with each other, when the de-
sire for romance bubbled up through
the cracks of his reserve like the lus-
ciOus juice of huckleberry pie is apt
to do even when concOcted by the most
careful of cooks. But of these eve
nings he spoke not at all to Miss Mer-
rift.
Then James would HE himself to q

by fashiOnably gowned young women.
Over the supper he would revel in the
life and gayety of his surroundings

ways Is for lone young men Of inter-
esting appearance. Then a picture
featuring some beautiful star would
lure him. Afterward James would re-
turn to his room with a deep-drawn
sigh that he was but spectator at
the romance of life.
That Is, he did until the night he
met Pauline. ColOrful Pauline! Pau

had calmly seated herself opposite to

in the evening James had ventured to
mention his name and Pauline had
murmured softly but without the least
hesitation. "shall 1 call you JimmleT

eagerly.

First, there was Miss Merritt in
the office-and right here we must own
up that there was flaw In the dark
eyes Of our herO-he was trlfie near
sighted and would not wear glasses.
Still 1t was not entirely due to that
unfortunate fact that Miss Merritt had
worked within ten feet of James for
month before he discovered what a
really nice girl she was.
She was so negative In appearance
that one missed her fine points at first.

That was the crude beginning OF one

great quantities of Intermediates for
the manufacture of other commodities.
In times of war they are easily con-
verified into strongholds of defense.
You will remember that it was an
English boy who discovered the posi-
bility of manufacturing dyes from coal
tar but England let the great chance
slip through her fingers and as result
she found herself in bad way when

found herself in far more serious
situation. She had no dyes for her
uniforms or flags, and no drugs for
her wounded. She could not sell TO
the former German markets because
she could not color her textiles. She
could not send sufficient high explo-
sives or gases to the front because
she lacked the essential coal tar crude.
But England will not be caught

with all her strength to develop her

Goethe the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbrucker
Forest and Discovers the
Philosopher of Coal
TIE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL
(Told In Eight Sketchos)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. III

In l77l, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, chemist
named Stauf. He was an eccentric oil
man who had an idea, fer ahead Of hi
times, that many things beside cox
could be obtained in the combustion OF
bituminouS coal.
otauf had constructed number OF
ovens over burning mine and treated
coal so that ne obtained oil, pitch, coke
and SCOT. That was quite a forward
step and although he lived in the
depths of forest the great minds OF
Europe heard of his work. In fact.
Goethe, himself made pilgrimage to
the ovens OF the far-sceing chemist
and in his autobiography wrote a strik-
ing comment on his visit to the Saar-
bruckcn forest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into a human ear. the lean
decrepit, little man, with shoe on
one loot and slipper OH the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up i'll vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
falling into ruins. Here was found a
connected row of ovens in which coal
was to be freed from sulphur and
made ht for use i'll the iron works !;
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in
deed, did not want to lose the lamp
black, so that all failed together on
account of the many ends in view"
Goethe. who dubbed the chemist of
Saarbrucken "Kohenphilosoph or the
Philosopher of Coal, wrote his COM
mentary less than century and half
ago. What would be his comment to-
day could he enter one of the great

WEEKLY STATEMENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. = The main movement in the stock market this week was downward, although increas ed strength shown at times in the last two days modified the position of the list. Business continued to be chiefly in the hands of profession. al traders and in view of the ab- sence of investment buying or public interest, they met with little opposi- tion in their operations on the short si0e. Activity increased above the low point of midsummer trading ow- ing to the aggressiveness of the bears and upturns late in the week seemed to be due to little else than con- erting.
 Among the industrials various new low records for the year were reach ed. It was chiefly in this section that pressure was exerted. Representa- tive rails held comparatively steady, owing to the improved condition shown by their earning reports. State ments for June and July confirmed the favorable impressions which the street has been receiving, and show ed that while the roads are far from having regained their former post tion, real advance has been made by comparison with their status of a year ago.
 In the way of new factors, advices were too mixed to be conclusive. Op- erations for the short account were facilitated by indications in the gov ernment's crop report of crop shrink. ages. Foreign commerce for July was the smallest in several years. Prospects of greater delay than had been expected in the governments railway financing and further cuts il prices of commodities were other bear ish influences.
 On the other hand, the monthly re port of the United States Steel's an filled tonnage showed a decline small CT than had sbeen generally looked for, the number of idle freight cars decreased substantially, and the steadily improving position of the fed eral reserve bank was reflected in it's report.
 The reactionary tendency in the bond market gained greater impetus and there were numerous material de clines, particularly among specula tive issues. A violent upturn occur. ed in sterling exchange early in the week which carried the rate up tc S3.72k, although half of the advance was lost on subsequent reaction The movement appeared to be due to speculative operations, and had little effect on the market for securities Money rates remained firm, call funds

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. - Covering of short contracts gave the stock market an appearance of strength for a time today, but the movement was of short duration and in the last hour operations by the bears were renew ed. Such gains as reached material proportions at the outset were chief ly among stocks which have been un- der pressure of late, such as General Electric, Mexican Petroleum and Utah Copper. Advancing quotations of these issues failed to stimulate buy ing to an extent which the shorts re- garded as threatening and as a con- sequence their operations were renew ed. No serious opposition was ex! perienced in bringing this about but the selling movement was not press ed and met changes were narrow. Sales were 145,000 shares.
 On the decline, a few weak spots were uncovered, for the most part among industrials, which were soft on the recessions earlier :n the week. United States Rubber preferred broke 6k to SS1s. Continental Can 2h, Cen tral Leather 3S, and Manila ? 3-4 points, all making new low prices for the year. American Can preferred, Central Leather preferred and Colo rado Fuel also were heavy.
 Movements of rails were small. Re- cent steadiness of these issues, even at times of pronounced heaviness among industrials, served to present bearish demonstrations in this sec tiOn of the list
 In the exchange market, the feature was decline of points in marks to new low price for the movement of S1.15. This heaviness was ascrib- ed to the statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany, revealing a large in crease in paper circulation.
 Other exchanges were narrow and irregular.
 Great stability was shown in the band market. Dealings centered large ly in the speculative transactions. Representative railroad issues return ed in some instances, to the higher prices earlier in the week and there was a recurrence to reorganization mortgages. Total sales, par value, $3,45O,0O0.
