CHAPTER V.

SO winter passed at the mine and
at the brown house under the Shout
der of Tamalpais. AliX still kept her
bedroom windows open, but the rain
tore in, and Anne protested at the en-
suing stains on the pantry ceiling.
Cherry's wedding, once satisfactory
Iy over, was a cause of great satisfac-
ton to her sister and cousin. They
had stepped back duly to give her
the center of the stage; they had adj
mired and congratulated had helped
her in all hearty generosity. And now
that she was gone they enjoyed their
own lives again and cast over hers the
glamor that novelty and distance new
er fail to give. Cherry, married and
keeping house and managing affairs,
was an object of romantic interest.
The girls sulmised that Cherry must
he making friends; that everyone must
admire her; that Martin would be
rich some day, without doubt.
Cherry wrote regularly, now and then
assuring them that she was the same
old Cherry. She described her tiny house
right ut the mine, and the long sheds
of the plant, and the bare big build
ing that was the msn's boarding house
Martins associates brought her trout
and DUCKS. She wrote; she and Martin
had driven three hundred miles in the
superintendent's car; she was pre-
pairing for a card party.
"Think of little old Cherry going
of on weekend trips with three
men AIix would say proudly Think
Of Cherry giving a party" Anne per
TAPS would make no comment hut she
often FELT pang Of envy Cherry
scanned to have everything.
Suddenly, without warning, there
was a newcomer in the circle, a sleek
headed broWn-hared little man known
as Justin Little.
He had been introduced at some par
ty to Anne and Alix; he called; he
was presently taking Anne to a lee
ture. Anne now began to laugh at
him and say that he was too ridic-
uous," but she did not allow any one
else to say SO. On the contrary, she
told AliX at various times that his
mother had been one of the old Mary
land Percies, and his great grandfather
was mentioned in a book by Sir Wal
ter Scott, and that one had to respect
the man, even if one didn't choose to
marry him.
Marry him ~ Alix had echoed in
simple amazement. Marry him-what
was all this sudden change in the
when a man could no sooner
appear than some girl began to talk
Of marriage? Stupefied, Alix watched
the affair progress.

encounter. Presently Martin put his
arm about her and the bay horse daw-
died along at his own sweet will, while
Martins deep voice told his wife over
and over again how adorable and beau.
tiful she was and how he loved her
Cherry listened happily, and for a
little while the old sense Of pride and
achievement came back-she was mar,
RED; she was wearing a plain gold
ring! But after a few days that feel.
ing vanished forever and instead 1t
began to seem strange to her that
she had ever been anything else than
Martins wife.
For several days she and Martin
laughed ucessantly and praised each
other necessarily, while they expert
mcnted With cooking and ate delicious
gypsy meals.
BY midwinter Cherry had settled
down to the business of life, buying
bacon and lard and sugar and matche,
at the store of the mine, cooking and
cleaning, sweeping, and making beds.
She still kissed Martin gG0d-by every

dered what had become Of the violent
emotions that had picked her out of
the valley home and established her
here, in this strange place with this
man she had never seen a year ago.
OF these eWotons little was left.
she still liked Martin, g,e tod her
self, and she still told him that she
loved him. But she knew She did not
love him, and in such an association
as theirs there can be no liking. Her
thoughts rarely rested on him; she
was either thinking Of the prunes that
were soaking, the 1ircWo0d that was
running low, the towels that a wet
breeze was blowing on the line; or
she was far away, drifting in vague
realms where feelings entirely strange
to this bare little mining camp and
this hungry, busy, commonplace man,
held sway.
The first time that she quarreled
with Martini she cried for an entire
day, with the old childish feeling that
somehow her crying mattered, some
how her abandonment would help to
straighten affairs. The cause Of the
quarrel was a trifle; her father had
sent her q Christmas check and she
sent to San Francisco
shop for clock that had taken her
fancy months before.
Martin, who had CHANGED to be
pressed for money, although she did
not know it, was thunderstruck upon
discovering that she had actually dis
posed of fifty dollars so lightly. For
several days shadow hung over their

Meanwhile the hot train sped on,
and the drab autumn country flew by
the windows, and still the bride sat
wrapped in her dream, smiling, mus
ing, rousing herself to notice the
scenery.
When Martin asked her if she liked
to he a married woman, travelling with
her husband, she smiled and said that

Hide and Leather Stronger

Although a much improved financial
report for the second quarter of the
year was expected from the American
Hide and Leather Company, yester-
days statement showing surplus of
$251,644, equivalent to So a share on
the l25,4s3 shares of preferred, against
a deficit of more than 100000 in
the preceding three months, came as a
pleasant surprise to Wall Street in
view Of the disappointing showing of
the Central Leather Company. The re-
covery Of prices for finer grades of
leather in the last few months is held
mainly responsible for Hide and
Leather's improvement, and apparently
the management took advantage of the
situation to mark up inventory values.
This explains to some extent the
variance with Central Leather, for the
latter company carried it's inventory at
cost or market, whichever Is the
lowest" and gained ne advantage from
higher market value. The better mar
ket. for leather, however, has given
both companies OH opportunity to take
larger profits, which will be reflected
in later statements.

United Drug Depressed Again

Renewed selling came into United
Drug common stock shortly before the
close of the market yesterday and the
increased offerings carried the shares
down to 561s, of 3A points net, but
prices rallied slightly later and closed
2% points net lower. The selling fol-
lowed closely upon the tip that the
shorts intended to start another raid
with new low below 81 in view. Weak
ness in the issue developed almost
simultaneously with an announcement
in Boston Of a statement to stock
holders by Louis X. Liggett, in which
the president of United Drug said that
If any of his holdings were forced on
the market it would mean lower prices
for the stock. He added that he did
not know whether the trustees would
find it necessary to liquidate any Of
his holdings, which, he said, amounted
to $4,000 shares Of United Drug and
Liggett's International common stock.
In his statement he said that United
Drugs business in July was % per
cent ahead of the same month last
year.

Loans Continue to Shrink

In connection with easier money
rates recently bankers point out that
an important factor has been the CON
sstantly diminishing amount Of brokers
borrowings as Stock Exchange transac-
tions dwindle. It is estimated that
borrowings Of this nature have con.
tracted from approximately $1,75O,00O
ooo two years ago to 100000 900 now
This gives some idea CT the withdrawal
from the market of the public since
the ending Of the bull market in No
vemberI, 1919. The daily turnover in
the call money market is placed at be-
tween s10,O00,o00 and SIS 600, 900, while
two years ago it was about sac. 900 900
Present activities are said to be below
the average of 1918 and 1914, and
loans OF leading brokerage houses are
at their lowest point in many years.

Carolina Chemical Company's deficit in
the year ended May 81 have become
available. The total of s15,634,355
came as something of a surprise even

the South and curtailment of the use
OF fertlllzer among cotton growers.
The Sl5,0o0,000 deficit compares with
surplus of more than s7,0oO.OOo in

report had encouraging features, for

maturing August /, has been extended,
it was learned yesterday, and arrange
ments have been about completed for
extending two other similar credits for

August II respectively. The matter of
arranging permanent financing for the
company is receiving the attention of
the bankers and it is not improbable
that when the acceptance credits again
mature the banking institutions will be
given bonds or notes. An aggregate of
at least $25,000,000 will probably be
involved in the permanent financing.

and the average production per month
in June and July appropriated 10000
to 1000 cars. Since March Mr.. WHY'S
has been in personal touch with more

the selling organization has been

have been made in operation and more
are being inaugurated. The company
ut present has 7,700 men employed at
its plants, compared with $4,000 year
ago. The preferred stockholders are
asked to inform the management if
they know Of any good dealers in their

operate in other ways 80 far as pos
sible in helping to strengthen the or
