CHAPTER IS TRAITOR BUTTONS

| The funeral services of John | Waring were solemn and impressive. | No reference was made to the man. ner of his taking off. save to call | 1t mysterious, and the enconums l heaped upon him by the clergy and | they were well deserved.
 There were two members of the l great audience who were looked at with curiosity by many.
 One of these was Miss Mystery, the girl who, 1t was vaguely rumored, was in some way connected with the tragedy.
 To look at her. this seemed im- possible, for a sweeter face or a gentler manner could scarce be imagined.
 Anita Austin sat near the front. on one of the side aisles. She wore a gown of taupe-colored duvetyn, and a velevet todue of the same color. Her olive face was pale, and now and then her small white teeth bit into her scarlet lower lip. as If she were keeping her self-control only by de- termined effort.
 A close observer might note tna. she paid no heed to the utterance of the able men who gave tribute to John Warnings character, but her troubled eyes rested on the flower covered casket, and the rising tears overflowed as she stifled an occa- sional sob
 And then, fairly clenching her hands in a determination to show no emotion. the strange girl would straighten up, and stare blankly ahead of her as if in utter oblivion of the scene.
 ! Directly behind her was Helen Pey- ton, who had chosen that place with | n q 1 tery. Mrs. Peyton was by her daugh- | ter's side, but her whole attention was on the funeral services, and she 1 thought of little else.
 Not far off was Gordon Lockwood. and with him were Mrs. Bates and her nephew Pickney Payne. Of this | trio only the secretary let his gaze wander now and then to the sad little l face that was rapidly becoming the dearest thing in life to him. AS the church filled, and the flowerscented
 atmosphere grew oppressive, Miss shoulders, and Lockwood noted with a start that she wore the same gown she had worn to the lecture at | which he first saw ner Again he counted the queer little buttons that edged the sailor collar. He shook his head and great feeling of com passion filled his heart.
 Poor child" he said to himself | what does 1t all mean?'
 The other magnet for strangers eyes was Maurice Trask, the rela- tive of John Waring, who had come from his home in St. Louis, to take | possession of his inheritance.
 For, in the absence of any will. he had proved himself the next of kin and had gladly even eagerly, taken the reins of government of the af- fairs and home of the dead man.
 He was the son of John Waring' cousin, and though the two men had never met, the credentials and records brought by Maurice Task left nc possible doubt as to his heirship. ! Trask was not prepossessing of ap- pearance. though he was well man | nered and moderately well dressed His lack was that of sophistication l anr he seemed ignorant of the finer | conventions of life. He was what is known as a self-made man. and men of home manufacture require some sterling qualities to start with if they | are to turn out a satisfactory product
 These qualities Trask didn't have

EXPERT TELLS HOW
 TO PROTECT PLANTS
Howard Professor Goes Grand
 mothers Method One Better

READVILLE, Mass, Sept 16.-(By Associated ess.)-Put damp warm air jacket on your garden plants if you want to protect them from frost this autumn. That is the advice of Alexander McAdie, director of the Blue Hill observatory, who speaks as one with authority tn the subject because of his success in aid- ing orange growers in California to keep their crops from freezing.
 Your grandmother probably loved flowers and took good care of them" sid Director McAdle, who also Is professor of meteorology at Harvard. k+She had the right idea. when the crisp early fall nights came round of protecting the flowers from frost by wrapping newspapers around them carefully, pinning the paper so that there would be no gaps and wide-ope places. Tn this way her plants would keep their blossoms un- til October.
 But grandma did not know It all; i've think we know a little moro than the old lady did. We now wrap the newspaper around the plant just as before, but after pinning 1t tightly we twist another sheet of paper into something like rope about an inch thick and pin 1t in place. We then Srake a third sheet and wrap 1t around just as was done the first sheet We now have an air space about an inch thick between the two wrappings and this air jacket pre- vents loss of heat. It Is an excellent heat insulator. We have practically bottled up the inside hot air around

and first glance at the sharp-fea- tured face gave an impression of greed and shrewdness.
 There was also a slight air of brav- ado, which was quite evidently caused by an uneasy feeling of ,n- feriority. He seemed to say. T am as good as you are" because his convic- tion of that fact needed some such assertion to bolster it up.
 In his seat as chief mourner, he was decorum itself. His black garb was very black. and If 1t betrayed a provincial cut or fit, such an effect was more in keeping with the man than correct apparel would have been.
 His grief might have seemed trifle ostentatious to one who re- membered he had never seen his cousin, but on the whole Maurice TraslS was accepted by those whose curiousty led to criticism, as a satis- factory heir to the Waring estate. Nor was this an inconsiderable mat ter, for John Waring, beside his pro- fession, had written several success full books, and possessed In all goodly fortune.
 Moreover. there was no mystery about Trask His life was an open book, the lawyers had said; his fam fly tree was of correct record and
 
 true.
 While as to that minx, Miss Mys- tery nobody knew or could find out where she came from, what she was doing in Corinth, or who she was, anyway. Clearly she was mixed up with Dr. Waring in some unconven- tional way-that is. If the reports were true that she visited him in his study without the knowledge of his household. No shadow of blame was attached to John Waring for this-al- though it would seem that the man was old and wise enough to ward off an attack from such a small vam- pire.
 That's what she is," Helen Peyton concluded. to herself. as she unused on the girl who sat in front of her. She just plain vamped poor Dr. War ing-and she got into the study-ano, now, I can prove it!'
 After the funeral, the chief mourn CTS went back to the Waring home to discuss matters. Mrs Peyton had tea served in the living room, for all who came, and many neighbors drawn by curiosity, accepted her hos ] pitality.
 Trash, rubbing his hands involun- tarily, slipped easily into his new role of host and rather overdid his part

BOND PRICES TURN DOWNWARD AT TER
 PERIOD OF GAINS
Net Changes In Last Weeks Market Of Highly Irregu-
 lar Nature

NEW YORK, Sept. IT, (By Asso- ciated Press. )-After an early period of strength, bond prices turned re- actionary in last weeks trading on the New York stock exchange: Net changes on the week were highly irregular. Bond dealers reported a '11air increase in investment buying and stated most of the bonds sold were going into strong boxes
 New offerings last week, exclusive of the s2O0, ,O00,0 900 issue of United States treasury certificates. totaled 41,443,000 as compared with S79,- 057,00O the previous week. All the offerings met with good reception and the governments offering. bear ing "A per cent coupon, was heavily oyersubscrIbed.
 Cuban Bonds Show Decline.
 Announcement of the disbanding of the syndicate which offered early i in the year the Cuban $50,0O0,000 5 1a l per cent bonds resulted in sharp decline of those bonds. About 20 per aRent of the bonds remained in the hands of the offering syndicate.

 French bonds fluctuated over 3 point area, as news dispatches tndi- cated favorable or unfavorable de- velopments in the reparations tangle. Generally, the bonds closed the week somewhat higher. South American Issues, too, displayed net gains for the most part.
 Active United States government bonds either were unchanged or ; slightly higher.

 il, Railroad mortgages and industrial liens moved irregularly within comparatively narrow trading area. Both classes of bonds, however. tndi- s cated a firm undertone even in the face of big recessions in stock prices
 Several municipal issues offered at low interest rates and par 6s failed ito attract bids from New York bank CTS. Forthcoming issues include SS,625,000 Great Northern equipment trust certificates, @ S15,0000 900 offer ing by the Louisville and Nashville, and s6,0O0.00O Republic of Salvador bonds. New York bankers displayed considerable interest in reports that Poland is seeking a $100 900, 900 loan either here or in European markets

SLUR PROVOKES IRE
 OF GERMAN TYPISTS

LEIPSIG, Sept. 16.-(By Associated Press,)-Princess Margarete of Ho- henlohe Oehringen started something when she pleaded in defense of the aid she gave the notorious Captain Ehrhardt that she was SD lonely that she "eyen thought of becoming a
 typist." Scores of self-respecting women stenographers have risen to protest against the use of even" by the princess, who is now serving prison sentence for the shelter she gave Eherhardt, to the great dis pleasure of his wife.
 One intelligent correspondent wrote the following letter to a Ger man newspaper: "Bect ming a typist is surely greatly to be preferred to being In jail for six months. We typewriting girls, who have taken part in all the big conferences from Versailles to Genoa, should have well comed the princess in our midst. We should have taught her with wom- anly tact and delicacy that the world has turned round a little, and that work is the honorable task of a Ger man today. Further, we should have taught her that one must always speak the truth. and that by having a friendship with a married man one destroys ones chance in life The princess will doubtless be lone Her than ever in jail"

the plant and If this is done about o'clock in the afternoon 1t is almost as effective as keeping a small stove near the plant. Also we should sprin- kle the plant and the ground with water, sprinkle it well, before we wrap the paper around it.
 with most flowers and small fruits the temperature has to fall four or five degrees below the freez- ing point and remain there for sev- eral hours before damage Is done. Plants can be cooled to a point be- low freeing and yet if gradually warmel up, not injured.

TOO MANY THIEVES
Police Finding Situation Too Much
 For Them

VIENNA. Sept. 16.-(By Associated Press.)-Property of various kinds, worth about 750 milliard crowns, was stolen in Vienna in the first five months of this year. Burglaries have become a mere common occur ence particularly in the business sections of the city.
 The result of this has been that there are very few valuable goods such as jewelry or fine dry goods in the windows. They remain in the safes and storerooms until they are called for and they are only shown when the dealer is convinced of the intentions of the would-be purchas- CTS.
 The police have been unable to stop these thefts owing to their own rapidly diminishing ranks which Is exactly opposite to what Is going
 on in the ranks of the thieves.

MARKETS SUITE R. SET TBACk DESPITE FAVORABLE NE WS
Most Business Barometers Indicate Business Is Pro-
 Ceeding Satisfactorily

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-The principal markets of the past week presented a some what anomalous appearance in that with practically all the news bearing on them of a favorable nature, they developed a reactionary tendency but this was not looked upon in fl- nsncial quarters as any cause for alarm. It Is an old story for the markets. after holding steady or even advancing in the face of bad news, to suffer a temporary setback when unsatisfactory situations are finally righted.
 During the past week. with the coal strike settled. with the extent of the Japanese damage known and discounted and with the European situation easier, the markets have either lost ground or failed to gain appreciably. All of which points to professional operations on the bear side.
 Satisfactory Progress Indicated
 Most of the business barometers, meanwhile. indicate that domestic business is proceeding satisfactorily, Car loadings continue to break all records, a factor which points not only to improved earnings for the railroads but to large purchasing power and consuming demand on the part of the public. Commodity prices are holding firm and labor Is fully employed. In fact there seems to be nothing in sight indicating that autumn business will fall below the normal necessities of the nation and tfe capacity of the labor supply to produce.
 A further substantial shrinkage in the volume of thrilled orders on the books of the U. 8. Steel corpora ton during August, while predicted, was nevertheless disappointing. A falling off in forward business since March has brought 1t down to about a third of what it was at that time. This is explained in part by general readjustment of commodity prices and in part by the adoption of the esght hour day. Operations are now being carried on at around 80 per cent which Is twice as great as pre- war capacity.
 Cotton Consumption Heavy
 Another favorite indication of in- dustry was the bureaus report on cotton consumed during August, the volume exceeding that of the previous month and the same month year ago. The cotton market, meanwhile, closed the week at practically last weeks level being under the influ- ence of profit taking, southern hedge selling and reaction on the stock ex- change. The statistics of the trade point to a good market. The large oversubscription to the treasury's short term note offering points to comparatively easy money conditions for some time yet, although the time money rate was temporarily firmer on September tax payment require ments.
