While their cousins were with
Uriah's wife below, Mrs. Curtis and
Katherine were talking over the events
of the night.

"Rege's such atfool," commented the
girl. II wonder If she really did say
she loved him. She simply couldn't

Tony received the call Ito the
library listlessly. Nothing that any
one could say now would make her
lot any easier. Nothing! Nothing
Philip, her new father, kind Uncle
John, all had vanished In the waters
of bitterness that had overwhelmed
her.
The room seemed full of people
when she crept timidly in. Uriah De
Won, with white cloth tied around
his head, lounged in a large chair.
Mrs. Curtis and Katherine were seat
ed, rigidly erect side by side. The
girls gaze passed over their glaring
eyes and settled on Philip MacCauley.
Was that smile she saw lurking
around his lips? OF course not! He
couldn't smile when she was in such
trouble! She shivered as she met
Reginald Browns eager eyes, and,
thrusting back sob, she went to Paul
Pendlehaven, because he had held his
hand out to her. Then she saw her
mother. and bewildered expression
spread over her face. Doctor Paul,
his eyes soft and cleaning, his lips
twitching nervously, drew her down
beside him.
"Mummy doesn't know anything
about it." gasped the girl, extending
her arms to Edith. ri won't hear any

Philip got out of his chair, but Doc

"Wait," he whispered into the boys

OIL Development Work

Although tho final quarter Of the
year has opened more euspiciously
than any other period of tho year, it is
the judgment Of experts IN the oil in
dustry that the development work dur
ing the remaining three months will
not lie up to the record set in Oc-
tooer, Novemb Der and December OF last
year. The number OF compietions Of
new wells in the OIL fields during the
first nine months OF the current year
vas only about two-thirds of the total
Tor the corresponding period OF 1920
according to The Oil City Derrick. >"
The initial production credited to the
new completions was about 100000
barrels less than year ago. The de-
tailed figures Of new wells completed
IN the nire months show total of IT,
0l5 with initial production of 1887 1856
barrels. The curtailment Of drilling
operations, due to the decline in oil
prices, has been enc Of the important
factors held responsible for The cur

tions in the petroleum industry.

Wall Street experienced mild
furry n the call money market yes
terday which shot the rate from TO
per cent, closing at the high. 1t was
run UP in rates that was attributed
to two factors. Ore was tho with
drawal to-day Of S26.0oo,0 from the
banks by the Treasury fer which plans
hsd to be made Yesterday. The other
was the recent flow Of banking fun
away from New York to interior = y
of tho country. This movement bcc.4ae
quite pronounced last week and vas
plainly reflected n the statement Of
the local Reserve Bank While ne
demands Of the harvest season ! g
naturally caused interior banks o
draw against their New York balances
the comparatively low rates obtaining
here recently have had the effect Of
causing banks IN the interior to call
balances home because they could en-
ploy their funds there to greater ad-
vantage.

According to interests in close touch

pose of determining the extent Of the

has satisfied itself that it has large

about working these deposits has rot

Government Wants Lower Rates

Although none Of the executives who
conferred with President Harding last
week regarding the question Of lower
freight rates could be seen IN the
financial district yesterday, it was ad-
mitted in other railroad quarters that
strong pressure 10 being brought TO
bear by government officials FOR re-
duced tariffs. These men said the
roads would consent 10 lower rates if
they we're certain that wages would
come down at the same time, but that
they did not see why rates should be
the first TO come down, with the possi-
blity that there might lie long de-
lay before wages would follow. AS has
been limited in the Washington dis
patches, the feeling is growing that
control o. wages should be taken from
the Labor Bc&rd and placed wish the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
same body that has the rate-dxing
power.

Concerning Meetings in Canton

Below we publish a letter sent by
Mrs. H. r. Porter of Canton to her
father w. Fl. White, here, concern
ing cures said to have been effected
at meetings held in Canton by Mrs.
Aimee S. Mcpherson, an evangelist:
Dear Father: Want to send you
some clippings out of our paper
concerning the wonderful meetings
being held here by Mrs. Mcpherson
/ have heard good talks and SER
mons, but never saw cripples walk
blind to see, deaf to hear, and con-
sumptives shout and praise God,
who haven't spoken above a whis-
per for six months. l have seen
those very things right here in the
city auditorium. Mrs. Mcpherson
doesn't take one bit of the credit;
says she is only Gods instrument,
but faith is everything. Unless the
one to be healed is saved and has
faith he will not be cured, her
prayers do no good. 1t is so simple
and so quickly done;. first she
anoints them with oil, and then Of
fers few words of prayer. and
babes who have not walked without
the use of braces, from infant
paralysis, l have seen her take those
braces off and the parent stand the
child down and it walks; yes, walks

Rev. R. A. Pelt who has left the

been welcome addition to the life
of the village; his influence has been
pronounced for good, and the spirit

greatly raised during his two years
ministry. His departure is keenly
regretted by the members of his con-

signs the position of president of the

association, having been elected to
this place for the second year, at the

Cleveland, told him just last Mon
day nothing would ever do his child
crooked leg and always be a cripple,
just as sure as he had nose on his
face. But the chi1d's leg straight
ened, and she took the brace off and
he walked and ran, and you could
see the child gaining strength in his
poor little leg as he walked around.
After the father could control his
voice he brought the child back on
the platform, and made a state
ment. That is only one of dozens
that are being cured. l wondered if
you would tell DR.. Leeper about this
wonderful healing of God, if he
wouldn't bring their little grandson
up here and get his poor little body
healed. All that is required is
full surrender of his heart to God,
and faith to believe he will be heal

witnessing the wonderful power of
God through this woman.
