Difficulties to Be Overcome.

Circumstances are the creatures of men"9 Nurture your mind" he said again, with great thoughts.

 Rainey went up on deck with that ringing In his ears. His humiliation wore off swiftly as he crossed back toward the beach. By the time he crossed the promontory he even felt relieved at the outcome. He was not in love with her. He had known that when he intervened. He had not even told her so. Ills chivalry had spoken not his heaH. And his thoughts strayed back to California. The other girl. Diana though she was, would never. in almost one breath. have shot and kissed the man she loved.

THRESHING MADE A PASTlME
Italian Families Beat Wheat From Straw in Rhythm, and Seem to
 Enjoy the Work.

Gasparino Dante got up early Sun day morning. and before the sun was very high his days work was well started on his farm near Capula. Italy. The two daughters-one eighteen and the other fifteen-started (and fin ished) the day with the men. The younger children were too small to be of any help, although the boy of ten scattered wheat over the stone thresh- ing floor so that 1t would be ready when the older members of the family had finished with breakfast-bread and cheese and coffee, for Dante can afford coffee in the morning. He owns thirty acres.
 When threshing started. the father paired with the oldest girl on the side of the floor; the other couple stood side by side opposite. The four fails were poised high in the air an instant and then at shout from the farmer one pair descended and as they were lifted the couple opposite struck.
 The four beat the grain, keeping perfect time and pausing only while the boy raked the straw into a pile at one side of the floor and swept the kernels of wheat into another heap, and threw down fresh supply.
 Then. with shouted signal that seemed to welcome the new onslaught the rhythm of the humping started again. The manner of the threshers was more like that of couples dancing an old-fashioned quadrille than that of harvest toilers under the blister ing, blinding midsummer sun of south ern Italy.

Another bill approved by the
finance committee but not yet
through the chamber of deputies,
authorizes the government to enter
into agreements with the coal pro-
ducing states and the Brazilian
railways and steamship lines for
preferential treatment OF local
coal. These two measures mark
the beginning of a period of pro-
lection for the Brazilian coal in
dustry. which although existent for
many years. has never reached
high stage OF development on ac-
count of the poor quality Of the
product. However. it is claimed
that when workings have become
deeper better quality coal will be

anxiety and uncertainty. though at
the close a nearer approach to nor

the beginning OF the year excessive
stocks. and absence of demand.
especially from Germany. together
with uncertainty as to control OF
prices by the British Australian
Wool Realization Association, Gre
ated an unsettled state, which was
enhanced by the fact that the open-
ing sale of the year resulted in a
hasco, in consequence of govern
ment woods being limited consider
ably above current values. Further
uneasiness was caused by the
rumor that the r. A. w. r. A. and
the importers of free wool had
agreed upon certain price limits.
Later. definite average limits
were announced for both B. A. W.
Il. A., and free woods, while Aus
tralian exporters were not permit
ted to export at such agreed limits
plus freight and charges. These
steps. together with the statement
that offerings were to be regulated
for long time ahead. were aban-
doned. During the brief period that
the scheme was in force the mar
ket was well above the limits fixed.
consequently no practical difficulty
was experienced.
In the previous year prices fell
from so to 60 per cent. and con-
tinued to recede until May. 1921.
