appeared, having been in Ill health

(By Thomson & McKinnon)
? The production Of Cuban raw sugar is
at its height and the trade is more con-
cerned with future supplies than with the

business, The markets have held UP well
considering the present tendency Of buyers
to postpone ordering even at today's low
prices. The bulk of the sales so far this
week have been for foreign account. The
bulls seem content for the present TO

deficit was serious. She didn't seem
to realize that hundreds of dollars
didn't grow on trees. 1t wasn't like
her at all. But then, all women were
irresponsible at bottom. One had to
look after them. Janice, Barbara, all
alike. One hundred and fifty-he got
out pencil and began to figure. That
new issue of Whitehead and Heath's
bonds ought to be carefully promoted.
Everywhere she went Barbara was
reminded of Janice. The children
spoke OF her. Her friends spoke Of
her Barbara caught herself talking
about her more than once, remember
ing little mannerisms, habits of
thought and speech. She set herself
deliberately to find what the children
had liked in Janice, what Alan had
liked, and, though they could never tell
exactly. she analyzed it for herself.
The fruits Of her analysis were a pur-
chase of two new dresses and a visit
to masseuse, who told her she ought
to lie down an hour a day, or she
would soon be an old woman.
Barbara lay down for an hour every
day. She placated Sarah with a $40
a-month raise. and told Alan she need
ed more money. though as she made
the outlandish request she felt
ashamed.
Alan found himself making love to
her instead of talking business. When
he did mention business she found. to
her amazement. that he had placed an
enormous issue of bonds with MIR.
Granger and that he was the tempo

He was absurdly proud of the way
he had cleaned up. The dishes were
washed and dry, all in the wrong
places, and the food had been hurled
into the garbage can or ice box. But
Barbara was amazed to see how com
petent Alan had been.
Put her to bed. Alan" said Janice
mischievously. "and don't let her tuck
up single child tonight. She's com
pletely tired out"
WHEN Janice departed the next
day she gave each of the girls a

Barbara actually found tears in her
eyes as the train pulled out. No one
since her marriage had taken so much
interest in her. OF course it was q
mad point of view Still
When they were alone that night
after dinner Barbara. who had been
thinking instead of mending, said sud
denly:
''Janice's visit cost me over $3.50,
with the extra clothes we had to get
and food and all. L don't know
where it's coming from. But you will
get it for me. won't you, dear?"
Don't bother about that" began
Alan.
I'm not going to- said Barbara.
AS she went past him she smiled
sweetly and went to bed. Alan looked
after her. A hundred and fifty dollars

a few subsidiary sales almost doubled
the Thomson income.
Barbara admitted to herself that
Janice was right. If Alan hadn't
had to have that first hundred and
fifty dollars. If she had managed to
cut that expense and spread 1t over
the income for months, and arranged
ii for him, he wouldn't have taken his
plunge into aggressive new business.
This meant all kinds of things.
But her own part of the game was
| not growing into second nature. The
| lovely Incidence of Barbara sat upon
| her prettily, but not comfortably.
! With more money and the promise of
still more money. her old skirmishes
with bills seemed to be over There
was a little second maid to help Sarah
now. a competent. deft girl, who
cleared up after evening parties When
they said. Don't go to any trouble, -
Barbara took them at their word. and
didn't But secretly she missed trou-
BILE.
Then one night she heard Alan
downstairs. She had gone up to bed
early. for they were not going out and
it was part of her regimen to rest
and keep young. But this night she
did not sleep. and she could hear Alan
pacing up and down, restlessly, inde-
Cisively.
She listened for an hour, then broke
her rule and, slipping on a kimOno,
went downstairs. AS she rounded the
bend in the stairs she could see him.
1t seemed to her that his old plump
blandness was quite gone. He was
hard looking, little tired, competent
and reserved.
Evening star., 1926-05-16

What's the trouble. Alan?" she
said.
why, nothing. Aren't you asleep"
Cant you see I'm not? I'm listen

"Why. I'm a little bothered. he told
her reluctantly. Some news from my

came over beside her.
