diet Old Marc had once more laid his
powerful hand upon her. Overcome
with grief, she wept a while. Then
she took the dress from under the
pillow, rolled II carefully in clean
cloth and put it away.
The shock OF Evelyn's cold note
brought back the shadows to Pollyop's
brown eyes. AS the days passed slow
ly by, and the rich girl did not come
to the shack again. Polly lost all hope
Of seeing her father.
Her decision to 60 10 Auburn in spite
OF Old Marc followed a letter that she
received from Daddy Hopkins. He
was very lonely. he said. He was
counting of each day as so many hours
nearer the time when he could see his
dear children. With the picture OF
Daddy's loneliness stamped in misery
on her mind came the thought that no
one had the right TO keep Jerry from
his father.
From the time she conceived this
idea. II never left her thoughts. She
had often stolen rides on the Lehigh
Valley train from Ithaca 70 the Silent
City and dropped OF where the engine
took a switch while the Buffalo Spe-
eial dashed by. Why could she not
steal a ride clear 10 Auburn?
While the squatter girl was making
arrangements 10 carry out this
mighty plan. preparations for the
Mackenzie Robertson wedding were
going rapidly forward. Evelyn. happy
In her new love, untroubled by SYM
patty for the dead Oscar, passed the
days mostly at dressmakers and in
the shops. Her contentment would
have been complete If her cousin Rob
ert had not looked so sad. or II she
could have rid herself Of the sense Of
responsibility for his unhappineSs.
But hoping in her filppant way that
all would come out well after she was
married. she gave little heed TO him
and none at all to Polly Hopkins.
Early one morning Polly hoped
quickly out of bed and after a break
fast OF bread and beans. began TO dress
Jerry I'm the best he had. The day
was chilly. and a fine rain drizzled
over the lake.
POnyop wrapped Granny Hopes
old shawl around the little boy and
tied a warm rag about his head; and
the child. satisfied with his sisters
assurance that he was going 10 see
his father. sat on the cot wide-eyed,
watching her in silence.

But tan did not matter. for DADDY
Hopkins loved her In spite Of II.
All at once she heard a knock
against the side of the hut. Hastily
slipping out Of the dress and folding

Then she put on her old dress and
opened the door.
Larry Bishop was there. extending
her a letter. Taking the note In
amazement, she smiled and thanked
him.

asked. "Kinda chilly tonight, huhg"

depths OF despair when she thought of

gladness over the Joy in store for

Drought conditions prevailed in most
other districts and there was insufficient
moisture for the proper growth Of vege-

very low In parts OF the Southwest and

meadows and late truck crops were un-

active buyers. Demand continued to

low and high grades were not entirely
neglected. In the local market stiffen-

ing is showing Improvement. but there
is still much to be desired, in the opin-
ion of a prominent dealer. The insistent
retail demand is causing manufacturers
to buy more frequently, although the
buying is still confined to immediate or

class. The Shanghai market also was

Hide Market Quiet.

The local hide market continues gen.
orally quiet, with prices holding firm.
City packer and country hides are
quoted at slightly higher prices. and al
though buyers appear reluctant to pay
the new prices, a paucity of offerings
prevents any sizable transactions. Com
mon dry hides are firmer in price, but
buyers are not manifesting any keen de-
sire to trade at the prevailing quotations.
Activity In the River Plate markets has
kept up in a fair way. Prices continue
firm and sellers are of the opinion that
heavy buying in anticipation of higher
prices will soon develop. In the Chi
cago market transactions are of good
proportions, with quotations stiffening.
Demand for calfsIsins is steady.

market and the increased demand for
merchandise of all kinds have made
dry goods prices firm, and indications
point to higher values In the near future,

review. The movement of merchandise
has considerably improved. and goods
that have been held up in transit for

trade In Missouri, Kansas. Nebraska

creased distribution of merchandise of
all kinds If price advances are not too
great.
