then by a material upturn.
Subsequently, the market became
easier as a result OF the governments
weekly crop report which was con
strued as bearish. Tho close was un.

wheat, but failed to recover SO well
After opening unchanged to Bc

I don't mean local matters"
 She's an intelligent girl, I know, but that doesn't make her out old. I don't believe she's 20."
 "Oh, she is! Why, she's 25 or 27"
 Never in the world! I'm going to ask her."
 Ask herw Miss Bascora laughed You'll get well snubbed if you do."
 But this prophecy only served to egg Mrs. Welby on, and she took the first occasion to carry out her prom ise.
 She met Anita in the hall, as the girl was about to go out, and smil- ingly detained her.
 Why so aloof, my dear?" she said playfully. You rarely give us a chance to entertain you"
 As Mrs. Welby was between Anita and the door, the girl was forced to pause. She looked the older woman over, with an appraising glance that was not rude, but merely disinter- ested.
 'No?" she said, with a curious ris- ing infection, that somehow seemed 10 close the incident.
 But Mrs. Welby was not so easily baffled.
 No" she repeated, smilingly. And we want to know you better. You're too young and too pretty not to De BGuGl al l&NOIlle among us. How old are you, my dear ehiid?'
 Just a hundred" and Miss Austin S dark eyes were so grave and seemed to hold such a world of wisdom and experience, that Mrs. Welby almost jumped.
 Too amazed to reply, she even let the girl get past her and out of the street door before she recovered her boise.
 She's uncanny," Mrs. Welby de- clared, when telling Miss Bascom of the interview. T give you my word, when she said that, she looked hum dred!"
 Looked hundred! What do you mean?"
 Just that. Her eyes seemed to hold all there Is of knowledge, yes and of eVil-'
 Evil! My goodnessp Miss Bas- com rolled this suggestion like a sweet morsel under her tongue.
 "Oh--I don't say there's anything wrong about the girl-" Well? If her eyes showed depths of evil, should say there was some thing wrong!
 The episode was repeated from ore to another of the exclusive clientele of the Adams house, until by exaggeration and imagination Il grew into quite respectable ar raignment of Miss Mystery and branded her as a doubtful character l if not a dangerous one. The Adamses, between themselves decided that Miss Austin was more deeply mysterious than was showr y her disinclination to make friends l They concluded she was transacting | important business of some sort, anC that her sketching of the winter scenery, which she did every clear sky, was merely a blind. Though Mrs. Adams resented this and urged her husband to send the | girl packing, Old Salt demurred.
 She's done no harm as yet" ht | said. She's a mystery, but not z wrong one, s far's I can make hel | out Let her alone, mother. I've l got my eye on her"

 'No but hear her moving around restlessly, and putting the window up and down-and Miss Bascom-her rooms cornerways on the ell, she says she sees her looking out the window late at night most every night"
 Miss Bascom's a meddling old maid, and I'd put her out of this house before I would the little girl:
 "Of course you would! You're all set up because she makes so much of you"
 "Oh, come now, Esther, you can't say that child makes much of mel wish she would. I've taken a fancy to her."
 "Yes, because she's pretty-in a gypsy, witch-like fashion. what men see in a pair of big black eyes and a dark, sallow face, don
 Not sa1low," Old Salt said, re- flectfully; "olive, rather-but not saliow."
 "Oh, you" exclaimed Mrs. Adams and with that cryptic remark the | subject was dropped.
 Gordon Lockwood, secretary of John Waring. had a room at the Adams house. But as he took nc meals there save his breakfasts, and as he ate those early, he had not yet met Anita Austin.
 But one Saturday morning he chanced to be late, and the two sat at table together.
 An astute reader of humanity | Lockwood at once became interested In the girl, and realized that to win | her attention he must not be eager or insistent.
 He spoke only one or two of the merest commonplaces, until almost l at the close of the meal he said:
 Can I do anything for you, Miss Austin? If you would care to near any of the college lectures I can ar range it."
 'Who are the speakers7"
 She turned her eyes fully upor him. and Gordon Lockwood marveled l at their depth and beauty.
 Tonight" he replied, "Dr. War l irg is to lecture on Egyptian arche. oIogy. Are you interested In thatT
 You certainly may. then. Just l use this card"
 He took a card from his pocket scribbled line across it. and gave 1t to her. Without another word he
 
 mere courteous bow he left the room
 Miss Austinis face took on a more scrutable look than ever.
 The card still in her hand, sht went up to her room. Unheeding thu maid, who was at her duties there the girl threw herself into a bis | chair and sat staring at the card.
 The Egyptian Temples" she saic | to herself, Doctor John Waring."
 The maid looked at her curiously as she murmured the words hal aloud, but Miss Austin paid no heed
 "Go on with your work, Nora' don mind me-" she said, 1t last, as tho | chambermaid paused inquiringly 1T 1 front of her. T don't mind you ] being here until you finish what yol | have to do. And wish you'd brint me a Corinth paper, please. Thert 1 Is one, isn't there? 1 "Oh, yes, ma am. Twice a week."
 Nora disappeared and returned with paper.
 MT. Adams says you may hav' this to keep. It's the newest one."
 The girl took it and turned to flint the college announcements. Tn Egyptian lecture was mentioned, an' in another column was short ar ticle regarding Dr. Waring and picture of him.
 Long the girl looked at the pic ture, and when the maid, her task completed, left the room, she noticed Miss Austin still staring at the fin' face of the president of th' University of Corinth. (Continued TOmOrrow)
