 But .t is" Katherine had flown 10 the window overlooking the driveway, and she turned back 10 us with her hands outspread in a gesture Of futuity. "Dr. MeredIth's car is outside, and l suppose he and his wife are on the veranda now. Yes! there's the bell! Shut Katie up, quick"
 She whispered the last words tensely, as l threw open the door and stopped Katie's outcries by the only expedient possible with my maid - clapping my hand over her mouth.
 Hush" I said sternly! Do you want Mrs. Meredith to hear you?"
 Katie shook her head vigorously, and then wrtggled 1t appeaingly.
 "Will you whisper If l take my hand away" l asked.
 She nodded with such vim that I was afraid she would dislocate the vertebra Of her neck, and l took my hand from her lips and asked anxlously--
 "Was the hall window downstairs open? Do you suppose she heard you screaming her name'"
 T not know" Katie returned a bit sullsnly. "All I link, ven see her. Is how like old Nick dees whole house look"

 'I'll stay right where 1 am" said Danny 10 himself. "Yes, sir, I'll stay right where | am. I wouldn't trust myself in the water half second with that fellow around. Whatever did I come over here to the Smiling Pool for, anyway? First it was Mr. Blacksnake. then it was Longlegs the Heron; then it was Billy Mink; now it is this big fish.

 An enlightened business man knows that a safety margin is es- sential in any business to meet sud- den stress in finances. Banks al- ways carry a reserve to meet a sud .dcn and unexpected demand.
 Human bodies, like businesses, must have a margin to make life safe when an unusual stress comes.
 Whether this stress Is in the form of vigorous exercise or disease, the result is the same--death, unless there Is sufficient health margin 10 offer resistance.

It was a big pickerel, which you know is one kind of fish. and Danny knew that that pickerel would have made no trouble at all of swallowing him whole.
 Somehow the thought Of being caught by that fish with its great mouth full of sharp teeth was ever so much worse than the thought of being caught by Rcddy Fox or Old Man Coyote or Billy Mink, or Red.

Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, June 24.-sAP

Chicago, June Z4.-sAPS.
With black rust reported from amd
the Dakotas and with widespread rain
hindrance to the winter wheat har-
vest, wheat averaged much higher In
price today but receded as result of
profit taking at the last. Wheat
closed unsteady to 8 net lower, July
1.54z to 1855 and September 1.53a to
1854. Corn finished at to p cents
down, oats 4 to 1 cent off and provi-
sions showing 2 to 20 cents decline.
The fact that today's advance car
ried the wheat market upward to
about six cents a bushel above Mon
days low point brought about great
er volume of offerings in the final hour
than could be readily absorbed. New
buying power failed to develop on the
late upturns in price. AS result
wiped out, Notwithstanding fresh ex.
port business estimated at 100000
bushels Of wheat and 100000 bushels
of rye.
Wet harvest reports came from Ok
lahoma. Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and
Nebraska. AS much as four inches Of
rain fell in some sections of Kansas.
too much moisture in the northwest
was also complained of on both sides
of the Canadian boundary. 1t was
pointed out that the excessive damp
ness northwest would be especially a
danger in connection with black rust
If high temperatures became prevalent.
Some crop damage from hot winds on
the Pacific coast was noted. Toward
the end of the day, however, general
demand was notably light and the
market gave way in quick order after
the fact grew evident that buying
power had dwindled.
Favorable weather for certain
growth tended to pull down corn and
oats. At first, however, the feed
grains were responsive to wheat
strength.
Declines in the provision market re-
suited more or less from the late
weakness of grain.

that standard long wave navy radio
equipment which had been left in the
United States must be taken along
or the navy section would return to
Washington.
Announcement Of an amicable So
luton of the difficulty through ac-
quiescene in Mr.. Wilbur's demand
was made here by the National Geo.
graphic Society, one of the sponsors
Of the expedition, after a long tele-
phone conversation with its repre-
sentatives in Sydney.
The society's announcement said
the navy radio equipment, which
Secretary Wilbur regarded as essen
tial to the safety of the navy section
had been left behind because of an
oversight. Mr.. Wilbur said the de-
partment was first informed it had
been left behind because neither the
Peary nor the Bowdoin, base ships of
the expedition, had room for it.
The expedition had entered an
agreement with the navy department.
Mr.. Wilbur asserted to carry the
navy long wave apparatus. e. f.
Mcdonald, chief radio expert of the
expedition and second in command,
who is president of the Zenith Radeb
Corporation, who made the short
wave apparatus being used be the
expedition, Mr.. Wilbur added, did not
want the navy standard long wave
apparatus to be carried.
"He objected to it," the secretary
declared, but we insisted and he fin-
ally acquiesced." The equipment
weighs 1000 pounds and was to have
been loaded on the Peary at Boston.
1t was left behind, however, and
when navy officers found it at the
dock. it was sent by a tug to Wiscas-
set, Me-, where the Peary was to call
and be joined by the Bowdoin. Both
vessels sailed from The Maine port
without the equipment, and the next
day Commander Byrd reported to
Secretary Wilbur that it had been
left behind.
The destroyer Putnam was at once
sent to Wiscasset and picking up the
radio apparatus started for Sydney.
N. s., the next port of call Of the ex-
petition, where it was due today. At
the same time Mr.. Wilbur dispatched
an order to Commander Byrd that
equipment should be taken aboard at
Sydney or the navy section would re-
turn to the United States.
The equipment was regarded by
the navy az essential not only to the

Will Carry Out
Nays Instructions
Word of Macmillan

Sydney, N. S., June Z4.-(AP)-
Commander Donald B. MacMillen is
sued statement tonight announcing
that the instructions of the navy de-
partment in regard to the installa-
ton of wireless equipment would be
carried out on the Arctic expedition.
The schooner Bowdoin and the
steamer Peary will be equipped with
radio apparatus of both long and
short wave lengths to insure salts
factory communication with three
naval planes.
The statement was given out at
ter Secretary Wilbur had issued an
order that standard long wave navy
radio equipment must be. included to
supplement the short wave appara-
tus If the navy section of the expedi-
ton was to continue.
Upon receipt of Secretary Will
bur's ultimatum, Commander Mac
MILAN gave out the following
statement:
Commander Macmillan will
place aboard the Peary all apparatus
required, and DR.. Grosvenor presi-
dent of the National Geographical
Society, under whose auspices the
expedition is to sail, is anxious to
ensure the safety of the navy hiers
as well as the success of the expedi-
ton.
Both Commander Macmillan and
DR.. Grosvenor wish to meet every
requirement of the navy department
and SO far as the installation OF
navy wireless is concerned, 1t will
be carried out fully"
Previous to the issuance OF the
u a
charge of the wireless equipment,
said that the Peary and the planes
had both the United States navy and
private apparatus and had been ex-
periencing no trouble in clearing
their message. He said that the
equipment being sent by the de-
stroyer Putnam had been left be-
hind because 1t was thought that the
expedition was sufficiently well
equipped. It was thought tonight
that the Peary and the Bowdoin
would leave Sydney on Friday for
Battle Harbor, Labrador. where
they will pick up native Eskimo
clothing and boots for the aviators.
They will then leave for Etah
Greenland, to establish base for
the expedition into the Arctic.
Upon his arrival here Commander
Macmillan was given message for
warded from New York. express
ing thanks of Road Amundsen and
Lincoln Ellsworth for his plans
to go to their relief when their
North Pole exploration party was
thought to be lost. Amundsen and
Ellsworth conveyed their deepest
gratitude and appreciation" and
wished him a glorious journey"

IN FINE SPIRITS
(Continued from Page Onel

noon they took possession of White
Court, adjoining the Stearns estate.
At Salem the President was greet
ed by Mr.. Stearns, Senator Butler,
Representative A. Piatt Andrew of
the congressional district including
Swampscott, and Mrs. John Jacobs
Rogers of Lowell, who is candidate
for the house seat made vacant by
her husbands death last March. At
Red Gables the three selectmen of
Swampscott were waiting to pay
their respects and later William
Young, president of the Lynn cham
Der of commerce, which arranged for
executive offices in the nearby city
of Lynn, was presented to Mr.. Cool
tdge.
The only other engagement the
president before dining today in his
new home was with a small army of
photographers and newspapermen.
The reporters got little news, but the
camera men had a field day.
In jovial spirits, the president and
his wife spent half an hour posing
for pictures. First they were photo
graphed at the front door. Then. to
please the photographers, the presi-
dent ordered one Of the white house
automobiles from the garage to
stage an arrival as he put it, en-
tered the car with Mrs. Coolidge and
Rob Roy, the white house collie,
which was Juggling at the leash, and
stepped out at the entrance to the
accompaniment of clicking cameras.
Eager for more pictures of Mr.. and
Mrs. Coolidge in their new surround y
ings, the photographers asked them
to pose down by the sea. After they
had accomodatingly done so the pres
ident remarked 1.-The only other re-
source We have is the garden. Do
you want picture Of that?"
The cameramen did, and standing
in front of an arbor of roses Mr.. and
Mrs. Coolidge and their dog COM
pleted their round of posing.
Mr.. Coolidge chatted with the
newspapermen, a number of whom
had accompanied him from Wash
ington, and expressed to them his
delight at being back for vacation
in his adopted state, over which he
once presided as governor; at the
reception given him at Salem, and
along the highways to Swampscott;
and at his new surroundings.
No engagements have been ar
ranged for the president tomorrow
and 1t is probable that he will re-
main in seclusion.
Cool weather which would be al
most unreasonable at this time Of
year in Washington greeted the
president today, the thermometer be-
ing below 20 degrees at noon.
