NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

She had worked herself into a thoroughly bad temper by the time she got to London: it was raining a little. and Dora hated rain. She took . taxi tke whole way home. and kept the man waiting while she went into the house and demanded the fare from Monty.
 He had just finished his dinner. and rose from the table. smiling with pleasure at sight of her.
 Well, dear?" He genuinely loved and admired his sister, He bent to kiss her. 'she turned him cool cheek.
 Have you any money? The taxi man is waiting
 His hand went at once to his pocket
 "she told him. and was quick to notice his frown.
 Tt was raining. and I hate rain" she complained petulantly.
 You might have taken the tube half way; you know we really can't afford to have taxis everywhere"
 Don't be so mean!" She took the money without a word of thanks. and gave 1t to the maid, then she came back. tossing her hat and gloves on the sofa. T suppose the dinner isn't ft to eat, and I'm so hungry"
 sI didn't expect you, or I would have kept it back. Tell the maid to bring you something. thought you might not be home till the last train: should have come to Euston to meet it."
 'They didn't ask me to stay. and I'm sure I didn't want to-"
 Did you sec David? 2"
 "Yes: he seems engrossed with Nigel's wife; they'd been out fin the car together all the afternoon. I don't know what in the world you meant by calling her pretty"
 "I think she is---or was---in a com mon sort of style"
 ''she's not--not in any sort of stylel Pasty-faced thing"
 Monty laughed.
 Don't be a cat old girl. you're too good-looking yourself to gredge any one else a small share"
 Well, hate her--T hate the way ehe's got in with David and Miss vsrney I hate her ways--oh--" She broke off exasperatedly.
 Monty 1t a cigarette. He knew

He was determined that somehow
 she should be made to look at him. and speak to him; he wanted to meet
 her eyes again. but Mary did not l raise them.
 T think 1t will be wet tomorrow" | she said. ,,.. lie laughed. -|''' t.,-, What difference can that lpake? :? There is hood to the car. And 1t was raining yesterday when we went out"
 Was it?" She felt strained and unnatural with him: she wished he would go away or sit down. He looked so tall and overpowering as he stood there .and she was so pain fully conscious of his gaze bent upon her..
 Suddenly: Miss Fisher wants you to go and stay with her in town" he said de- liberately.
 The words had the desired effect. Mary raised her eyes at once. "Oh, couldn't! don't want to be rude, but I'd so much rather not"
 You don't like her?"
 She flushed. r
 "Oh, it's not that. I think she's simply beautiful. but-oh. I'm such bad one at making new friends"
 You made friends with us easily

happy. He was sufficiently fond of David Bretherton himself to believe that he was the type of man a woman would adore. He came round to where Dora sat with her face hidden in a lace handkerchief, and put his arm round her shoulders. My dear girl, don't! ] hate to see you SO upset! What in the world has happened? Can help at all7 You know I'd do anything in my power"
 She pushed him impatiently aside. "oh. leave me alone."
 She looked at him with resentful eyes.
 You ought to have persuaded David not to have that wife of Nigel's down there. you ought to have guessed what would happen. She's just worming her way in with every

body, and already they are beginning to wonder how they managed before she came"
 My dear child, isn't that just what did try to do? Didn't I tell David? Didn't I do everything in my power?"
 You ought to have insisted that some other arrangement was .sde. made i'N~..UW you're talking sheer rub bish I'm not David's keeper. Sure ly he has right to please himselff" Dora began to cry again, but this time Monty was unmoved. He had had enough of it. He got up and walked out of the room.
 CHAPTER XXXV. | Time. the Healer
 When David got back. to the Red Grange he found Miss yarney alone l in the drawing-room. S5e noticed the quick way in which his eyes roamed round the room as if in search of someone elsa
 Where's Nary" he asked abrupt ly.
 really don't know, dear; she was here a moment ago."
 Mary had slipped away when she heard the sound of the car in the drive: she did not feel as if she could face David again just then. When ever she thought of her own ir- pulsive words she felt as if her whole body were blushing. What must he have thought of her? What moment of madness had made her say such thing? She had loved Nngel-and David was Nigel's brother.
 But, though as yet she did not realize it, it was strange how lately Nigel had begun to fade into the background of memory. She would have indignantly denied 1t had any, one told her that it was 50, but the fact remained, nevertheless.
 Perhaps she had never loved him as deeply as 1t was in her nature to love; but he had been her one and only romance. and the tragedy of his death had lent a halo of beauty to his whole life.
 Married to him, she would always have adored him. but in spite of her self her whole feeling towards him had unconsciously changed since his marriage.
 Even to the broken-hearted. Time is wonderful healer, and there is no truer saying of all the many penned by the immortal bard than that Men have died, and worms have eaten them, but not for love"
 And Mary was still young. She was beginning already to lose the wan, careworn look that had thinned her face when she first came to Red Grange. The quiet, healthy life. free from trouble. had done wonders for her; she slept we'll and dream lessly and woke full of energy. look ing forward with almost childish an- ticipation to the simple events of the day.
 Learning to drive David's car had given her tremendous pleasure; 1t was something SO different from anything she had ever experienced--something so exciting.
 David was speaking of the car when. a little later. she came into the room.
 Dora only just caught her train. The engine was running badly; it would hardly take Deaoon's Hill at all--" He swung round sharply at the soft sound of the opening door.
 Mary did not look at him as she came forward. but she was painfully conscious of her quick heart-beats and flushing cheeks.
 She sat down beside Miss .varney. and took up . book.
 well, are you ready for another | lesson in the morning?" David asked her.

CHILEAN MONOPOLY
 LIN NITRATES SEEN
Participation Of American Producers Urged As Re-
 suit Of Survey

WASHINGTON, Jan. e.-Participa- tion by American producers in the Chilean nitrate industry is recom- mended in conclusions reported by investigators conducting the first section of commerce department survey into the whole field of nitrate production.
 pr. II. Foster Baine, director of the bureau of mines, and H. s. Mulliken. special agent, conducted the inquiry and decided that the deposits in ques- ton. for the present, gave Chile d natural monopoly" the conduct of which had been directed by an asso- ciation with absolute price fixing power.
 The nitrate inquiry is one of a series authorized by Congress into the question of how far associations of producers and financial interests abroad control prices exacted from American agriculture and Industry for raw material. The nitrate Is the most essential fertilizer ingredient used in American cotton growing.
 "As matters now stand, the United States Is the largest buyer of nitrate and seems likely to continue to be-" the report continued. An American firm, however. produces very small part of the nitrate, and not b1ng members of the controlling assod:ia ton, have no voice whatever in fixing the price at which they must buy the bulk of what they in turn sell in the United States. Naturally, prices in the end arc determined by the law of supply and demand. and in tho case of nitrate, the dominant factor other than the cost. is the condition of the American cotton farmer. {"
 Considering the present cost of ni- trate, which is $48, f. o. b. ship Amer ican seaboard, per ton, the report an alyzed Chilean production methods and organization, concluding that should the government tax placed Tn that country be lifted, methods of production be modernized, and profits reduced to narrow margin, that price night be lowered to $35 per ton. No likelihood of early exhaustion of the fields was indicated. and 1t was said that $55 per ton was the lowest price likely to be attained, and any effort to organize artificial prSduc- tion should be aimed at that price. If 1t could be expected to withstand fu- ture competition,

gear boxes partly sawn away to re- veal the mysterious slidings ot the gears and illustrate to new drivers just how they happened to strip the teeth from tho wheels on that first Sunday trip into the suburbs. It is also one of the cars equipped with the waterpower brake system, re- garding which the buyer is priyi- legged to be skeptical if he likes.
 Engineers claim tnere IS no doubt that the hydraulic pressure on the brake is much more even, more quickly responsive and more tenac1- ous than the pressure exerted by the old system, but they have yet to per- feet their invention, just as the in ventors of the engine had to work gradually toward the present silent rhythm of the power plant. The boss salesman of one very expensive car which shall be mercifully nameiess in this recital, was very much em- barrassed when one of the prospective buyers, in nosing about the stripped nickcl-plated chassis on the show floor, pointed out that the chemical fluid which fills the reservoir of the hydraulic brake had leaked cut and formed a puddle on the floor. where it was Of almost no use, to say the least, in braking down the speed or any car.
 The four-wheel brake, however. re- garding which there was serious doubt, to say nothing of some trepi- datiun, few months ago, appears to have proved itself to the manufac- turers for those cars which first used then. are still equipped with stopping power fore and aft and some other brands have been converted to the principle. It has been decided that car which is going to skid on wet footing will do so regardless of whether two wheels are locked or all four. The transmission brake Is be- ing offered as better aid to the quick stop by those manufacturers who still decline to accept the four wheel principle. The doughnut tire also was proffered as a means Of braking, so the changeSe discernible this year are almost all concerned with the public passion for stopping in hurry.
 America, the first nation to 90 on wheels, now has become dissatisfied with the open car and insists on rid- ing in drawing-room ease, therefore the closed car, the sedan and the coupe, are in vast plurality over tho open machines, and it Is a graphic revelation of the development of tho motor car to observe that conforta- bic closed machines may now be had for as little as s795, which is a the Urcti.a1 price, of course, meaning ac- tuaily about $950 when freight, tax and other invisible first costs have Ir"n paid. The prices for standard machines run as high as $6,50o. and # is possible. If one insists, to spend as much as $9,500 for a mobile palace win tapestry decorations. bubbliny for,ntains. a band shell, ballroom anJ buller's pantry.

COTTON MOVES UP|
 0N FLUCTUATIONS
Advance Of 89 To 109 Points Over Previous Week In
 Active Months

NEW ORLEANS, La.. Jan. G. Fluctuations in the price of cotton iSst week carried the active contract months IS to 39 points Above the close of the preceding week in the early sessions and S9 to 109 points under in the late trading, the mar ket moving within range of 104 to 145 points. As usual, new crop price changes were not as wide as in the old crop. March sold as high as 35.74c pound, as low as 34.29c and closed at 34.5Sc. October traded up to 2S.55c, fell off to 27.51c and closed at 27.sSc. In the net results ontracts lost .52 to 80 points. In the spot department middling lost S8 points on the week. closing. at 34.62c against 26.SSc. on the close of this week last year.
 While Liquidation of the old long interest had much to do with the de- cline. new selling appeared, more es- pecially after the middle of the week. Much of the selling for both ac- counts was stimulated by the weak ness in the foreign exchange market. by the declines in the Liverpool mar Ret and by the constant talk of an unfavorable political situation in England. in private cablegrams re- ceived by brokers here. Quiet trade in 1his country especially in the textile industry and the small mill tak1ngS or the week increased tne selling pressure. World takings of American cotton this week were 2S7,- 900 blaes against 372,000 this week last year and 327,000 this week two years ago.
 Tuesday of this week again will be holiday because of the obsefv snce of the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. Wednesday morning will bring the eighth ginning report of the season from the census bu- reau and this is looked forward to as likely to furnish a basis for new operations, one way or the other one argument being that it will confirm private estimates of total crop of somewhat under 10000, ,0000 bales. A private report counts ginning to tho first of January, when the eighth period ended, at 9,760.000 bales.

 Without further demur, Marion walked to the piano. There was no in her bearing, Lois noted with chagrin. Seating herself, the pianist drew off her gloves. Then as the minister handed her the list of hymns, she opened a book and put it on tho rack before her.

ELABORATE SHOW.
 IF AUTOMOBILES.
Largest Area Ever Occupied Necessary For Needs Of
 New York
By wEsTBROOK PEGLER .eaSed Wire 1N The AEe-Hernld,l

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The automo- bile show was too tight a fit for the grand central palace this year, so it has moved again to the largest amphitheatre under cover in the en- tire United States. The auto show be- gan in 1900 when the 66 courageous pioneer manufacturers made their high wheeled horse1ess carriages as pretty as possible in Madison square Garden and invited a public of scof- fers to come in and scoff if they must-but to come in. anyway. From the garden which soon became too small for the cars, the display WAS moved to the grand central palace, which seemed at the time to be large enough to anticipate the greatest growth of the business.
 But when "A manufacturers of pas senger cars including taxicabs asked for space for 500 models in the show of 1924, and 250 manufacturers of more or less useful and decorative auxiliary jiggers also applied for room on the sidelines, even the pal ace was found little bit narrow across the shoulders.
 Therefore the display is being held in tho armory of the 25sth field ar til1ery, far out in the Bronx, a neighborhood which the denizens of Times Square few years ago pro fessed to regard as a suburb of AL Ddny, HOI NcW IoINb Sho 0eeciiO bile apparently has had much to do with the miracle of moving the bronx so close to town.

 The Goblin did not care to receive the hard thump, so he shut the win dow tight. So the nice kind Snitz- noodle climbed up and soon helped Weekly down, then they all walked back through the woods to the house of the Cookie people where they knew a fine dinner would be waiting for them,

Little Weekly intended climbing down the Goblin's chimney to rescue you. but when he reached the roof. he found that the Goblin's house did not have a chimney and there little Weekly had to stay way up on top!"
