foolish in my life than when leaned
forward gazing into space. while from
the corner of my eye l saw the men
with Mr.. Underwood closely apprais-
ing my appearance.
And That's That
When they finally disappeared from
my vision the ridiculous aspect of the
affair struck me SO forcibly that l
could not control my merriment, and
when Mr.. Underwood opened the door
Of the car l was almost helpless from
laughter, that I suppose held as much
nervous reaction as it did mirth.

What's struck you?"
Incapable of speech, I feebly waved
my hand toward the street, and he
grinned in comprehension.
"Oh, I see," he said Our little
procession appealed to your amuse-
ment. Well. for my part I am happy
to contribut in even so small a way
to your happiness. But"-his voice
was crisp, meaningful again-"there's
one thing l want to be sure of. Would
you recognize those men again?"
Anywhere" I returned, sobered by
the change in his tone. They're the
same men I have seen in the shop
many times"
Good" he commented. .tersely. And
they know you by sight now, al
though you may be sure they will
never presume on the knowledge to
speak to you. But if ever you have
need of me, in hurry, you do as I
told YOU before-take that scarab to
either of them, and he'll find me. But.

before a partly opened door behind

me the impression of closing the door
suddenly by saying with a complete
change of tone:

Harry Underwood's Curious Serio-
Comedy.
Unsuccessfully, I tried to hide
from Harry Underwoods keen eyes
the relief I felt at his assurance that
he did not expect me to go into the
pawnbroking shop to which he wa;
pointing.
Not that I had any particular OBJ
lection to entering the place upor
any ordinary occasion. Indeed,
often had stopped to look at the ode
assortment of jeweled ornaments
some of them quaint and beautiful
which the window of the little shor
displayed, and frequently while doing
so I had stolen glances at the in
terror of the shop, trying to identity
the George" and Ed through
whom Mr.. Underwood had said he al
ways could be found.
But tonight I was in evening cos
tune, as was my escort, and l was
conscious that he was a man whose
appearance would attract attention
anywhere. The limousine in which
we were sitting was the last word in
modish luxury also, and I dreaded the
curious glances which certainly would
rest on me if I would leave 1t and
enter the place.
Confess you were scared stiff,
Mr.. Underwood said staring mis-
chievously at me. But I should ad-
wise you to cultivate more genial
Canrpa and
Ed to imagine the sight of them has
given you the heebie-jeebies.
He laid his hand on the handle of
the door, and I spoke quickly, appre-
hensively:
What are you going to do?"
Nothing startling" he returned.
I'm simply going to bring George
and Ed out here for a second or two,
SO they can lamp you and you can
get a flash at them. Well saunter
down from the shop about half a
block, go into the chemists for a
minute, and walk back again toward
the car. When you see us turn /

was tenderness as well as banter in

rather startling. and I sternly warned
myself that I must not forget my

Your Problems


Dear Martha Allen: l have known
a young man one year my senior for
two years. l went with him steadily
for some time. and just when l began
to care a great deal for him, he SEEM
ed to act differently. / have heard
that he goes out with other girls now
What shall I do? I am broken
hearted. SUE.
If you were not engaged to this
man there isn't a reason in the world
why he can't 60 with other girls at
the same time that he is showing you
some attention. 1t won't put you in
his good graces to scold about the
other girls. The best way would be
to become interested in other men
and go with them at every oppor-
tunity. No girl should let a man
know that she depends upon him en-
tirely for her pleasures.
Dear Martha Allen: Does it cheaper
a mothers appearance to have bobbed
hair? Is 1t better taste to wear false
:. hair or bobbed hair II woman is 35
years of age? If one looks well with
bobbed hair should she do it up
for the sake of dignity or is 1t real
dignified II 1t has a neat appearance?
WONDERING.
Bobbed hair is so prevalent nova
days it could hardly be considered un-
dignified. The whole question to de-
eide is whether it is becoming. That
is something the individual must de-
eide. Hair dressers insist that 1t is
going out OF style. although women
are still going to the barbershops.
Women a great many years over 80
years of age are wearing their hair
in bobbed effects.
Nj. s.: Plans to raise money in
your church cannot be criticized, es-
pecially by an outsider. You will
have to let the pastor decide such
things for himself.

WEEKS REPORT ON GRAIN
SHOWS ACTIVITY IN CORN
Most Selling Governed by Reports
of Larger Visible Supply-Wheat
Retains FirmnesS.
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, May l7.-Corn has shown
more activity than any other grain
this week, but at the expense of
material sacrifice in value. The fact
that the visible supply of corn totaled
2.155.000 bushels in excess of the
amount d year ago did good deal
to weaken the corn market Net
changes in price for the week in
cluded 11sa1A to rs drop in corn.
with wheat Is to IS up, oats "a to a
off. and provisions ranging from l.
decline to an advance of ..
Much of the selling of corn was
based on opinions that the effect of
the larger visible supply had been
empha sized by leSSened demand for
feeding. especially in the west. where
paSturage this season has been good.
but last year was the reverse. Be
sides, during much of the week there
was selling Of corn into store here,
and shipping demand from the east
was reported slow, il being said
that some corn was brought back
here from Boston. There also were
reports that corn was being shipped
from Duluth to be delivered on May
contracts here.
Warmer weather that promised
rapid completion of corn planting
tended further to keep the corn mar
ket depressed. However, as the
week drew to an end something of
rally took place, for the receipts of
corn in Chicago were sharply cur
tailed, and lake shipments from here
pointed also to a reduction OF the
local stock of corn.
Uncertainty as to farm legislation
at Washington narrowed the vol
ume of wheat trade. On the other
hand increased estimates OF the
amount of wheat said to be needed
for Europe, together with adverse
domestic crop reports, gave firmness
to prices.
Oats eased down in sympathy with
corn.
Provision trade appeared to be on
hand to- mouth basis.
