Today's Short Story

 Nothing" Jenny sat up, pushing back her hair.
 Why, where is your ring?' demand ed Mrs. King, noting it's absence.
 Jenny told her the whole story, see ing with astonishment that her mother did not seem surprised.
 Il was afraid" Mrs. King sighed. Some day you will be glad-some day when you possess both a real diamond and real love-"
 That day was not long in coming, for as if to make amends to her for the secret he had revealed Will Morgan began to shower attentions upon Jenny. In fact, he had always been attracted to her. And Jenny turned to him be- cause she was so disappointed and sad.
 What q wonderful ring Will has given you," Julia Lloyd said one day. T hear he took all the pains in the world selecting the stone and having it set. My! It makes my little dia- mond look like firefly beside an in- candescent bulb. All the same I love mine because it has special meaning for me. Let me tell you, Jenny, that Wills love is just like your diamond pure, real and lasting, three necessary qualities either in love or jewels"
 Jenny smiled happily. 'sI know, I've found out that is true" she said,

SECURITY PRICES

 BCONDLON VIEW
Smaller Transactions In August To Be Expect
 ed, Says Writer
By EDWARD J. C0NDLON

A<ot4SCu -4
 NEW YORK, Aug. 10s-The stock market has reached stage where the public is beginning to grow wary of reactions. Not that the forward move ment of prices W4A be permanently halted, because it is obvious that many securities have scarcely begun to dis count the business revival which is ex- pected to reach it's initial peak in the late fall and winter months. In the first place, it is only natural that trans actions during August should be con ducted on a smaller scale. The mar ket has been a boiling affair these many weeks so that a breathing spell with the consequent liquidation of many small accounts, cannot be considered an unnatural or undeserved procedure.
 At the close of last week, however, two events took place which should go a long way toward maintaining se- curity prices in the main. The first was the cut in the rediscount rate on Thursday, and the German acceptance of the proposals made by the allies at the London conference. The one event makes for continuance of the cheap money market, and the other for the placing of world trade on a surer footing than has been possible since the war. M
 Success Was Expected
 It is evident that the start of the rise in stocks several weeks ago had as an underlying cause the promise of success of the allied conference, with the secondary cause, the revival of American trade, which, of necessity, is dependent upon the former.
 Perhaps the most spectacular in- stance of improved conditions in the United States has been the apprecia- tion q grain rices, though the week just completed has seen some rather sharp reactions. Wheat, however, is selling two cents above month ago, and corn some nine cents, but we find flour, beef and pork virtually un- changed. Cotton is down fractionally, but due chiefly to the several upsets in official crop figures which have come in for much criticism of the trade.
 Textile Industry Brighter
 The textile industry has frightened preceptibly in the last week or two, and in the steel trade one has to look no further than the thrilled tonnage figures of the steel corporation for July to note that the decline in buying has been arrested.
 One of the most interesting markets at the moment is foreign exchange. The cut in our bank rate and the stiff fening of the British rate makes for higher levels for the pound sterling, due to the inevitable transfer of bal ances to London. The success of the London conference has played no small part in the appreciation of European exchange rates at this time. The weekly statements of the Bank of Eng land and the Bank of France, however, both showed appreciable increases in the note circulation to the highest levels of the year, contrasting with a further decline in the note circulation of the federal reserve system.

THE MAN WHO COuNTS

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the d0er. of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood {; who strives valiantly who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcOming; who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devOtions, spends himself in worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor de- feat-TheodOre Roosevelt.

do Sul and Santa Catharina are very largely German. Similarly, Amazonas and Para are almost exclusively inter ested in rubber; Pernambuco and Ba- hia in sugar, cotton, cocoa and tobacco :; Minas Gefaes in the mining of gold and diamonds Sac Paulo in coffee and the southernmost states in cattle.
 These considerations tend towards diff ferentiati0n and indicate the difficulty of dealing with Brazil as a national, political or economic whole. Sac PauiO especially, with its 600,00O inhabitants affords an example of what is almost a rival metropolis. It is only nights journey from Rio by train, distance of three hupdred miles, but its situation at an elevation of two thousand feet on the plateau at the top of the Serra, amid open, rolling downlands, away from the eneryating heat and damp of hekcOast, gives 1t a character quite different from that of the federal capital. It is the center, of the coffee industry, the i'm pOFtanee of which can be gauged by the fact that Brazil produces four fifths of the worlds coffee supply, and the inhabitants, nearly all of European descent, have all the energy so obviously lacking in northern Brazil, to make the most of their remarkable opportu- mites.
 Commercial prosperity and expansion are the features which strike the stranger most in Sao Paulo. Building and rebuilding is going on everywhere, so much so that while people know where hank or an office was situated week ago they are not always certain to find 1t still there few days later.

A MIRROR REVEALS PAINTING
Picture In, An English Collection Has
 An Interesting History

A painting in the private collection of R. B. Cunninghame Graham in Lon don, q great rarity, was entirely diff ferent from anything had ever seen.
 At a glance it resembled a piece of modern cubism; the creator of it had apparently obeyed the Bible command ment that forbids a. likeness of any thing here, in heaven or below. After my first examination of it, my host produced a mirror in the shape of half cylinder, split lengthwise, and with the painting lying flat on the table and the mirror standing upright on certain spot upon it, one could see reflected in the shining convex sur face very creditable portrait of Charles the Martyr.
 This was. Q contemporary device to evade Cromwellian law forbidding the possession by loyal royalists of DOT traits of their dead king.-Walter Little in the Century Magazine.

HITS D. c. SITUATION.
Gilbert Would Relieve Congress of
: Minor Details.

Criticism OF the situation whereby
Congress has to pass an act for every
little thing that wants to be done in
the District is contained in a report
made to the House today by Repre-
sentative Ralph Gilbert. Democrat Ken
lucky. from the committee on the
District of Columbia. recommending
favorable action on the bill author
fzing removal of the remains of
George and Anton Burklin.
RepreSe ntative Gilbert says: TT
may be noted in passing the regret
that the Legislative situation in the
District of Columbia is such that an
act OF Congress is necessary to per-
nit this executive function unimpor-
tant to the public at large. 1t en-
phas sizes the necessity for a change
in the local legislative situation. to
which all members of Congress may
be directing their serious attention.
