always ate her lunch on rainy
It was not good restaurant,
nor even very clean one. But
it was only two blocks away
from the Morrell Steel Mills and
on rainy days 1t was always crowd
ed to the doors at noon time.
1t was this wet April day when
Mary Rose Middleton opened it's
ratn-spattered doors and went in.
The smell of hot food and steam
ing clothes and coffee made her
little faint and dizzy as she
stood waiting to sit down.
Then a man got up from a
table for two, close beside her,
and Mary Rose sat down in the
empty chair before she saw who
was sitting at the other side OF
the tiny table---John Manners!
Her heart gave a jump and
she began to stammer something
and get up.
Then, realizing how foolish she
must appear to him, she sat down
again and picked up the soiled,
greasy menu from the soiled,
greasy tablecloth.
Vile Food
How have you been all these
long months, Mary Rose?' he
asked, when she had ordered soup
and coffee in a voice that shook.
Very WE'LL" she answered, with
an effort, looking at the steam
covered window beside her. she
could feel his gray eyes on her
face and she couldn't trust her
self to meet them.
But at last she made herself
look at him. i've been mar
ried since left the Dexter Com
pany," she said, Did you
know"
He nodded. 'Yes-I wrote to
you at the time of your hus-
bands death, Mrs. FitZroy," he
answered. his voice hesitating on
the name of Toms widow.
II tore your letter up" said
Mary Rose. lifting her proud lit
tie chin.
The waiter brought her soup
in a thick white bowl, and she
tried to eat it. But she was hot
and trembling all over. Her body.
her brain and her heart, seemed
to be chanting altogether: I
loce him! I love him."
Manners pushed his half-emptted
plata back a trifIe on the table.
Vile food they have here he
said savagely and called waiter
for his bill
He's going-he's going,".

CHAPTER Lxv
The months of the summer
went by. To Mary Rose they
seemed to move as slowly and as
drearily as a funeral procession.
In August, Flossie's baby was
born in the little brown house,
where she insisted upon coming5
instead of going to Mercy Hos
pital, where she belonged at such
a time.
1t was darling baby, a little
girl with Flossie's blue eyes and
F'lossie's uncertain temper. At
any rate, it cried night and day.
They named it "Pola" after
Flossie's favorite screen star.

lady. We love each other very
much.
We were engaged to be mar
ried and had set the date Bust
ness reverses have changed all
that and will not be in a posi-
ton to marry for the next two
years. / explained everything
to the girl, and she is willing to
wait.
While business was good I
took her around to different
shows and dances. But now /
cannot afford to do so. The lady
in question does not want to sit
at home, but has been going out
with other young men, although
she is still wearing the engage
ment ring from me. She says
that as long as she sees me only
twice a week she will go out for
her good times, and nobody can
stop her.
Will I be right in giving her
up? Or should l wait until she
gets over her notion about good
times? A. Is. &.
TWO years 4s a long time to re-
main engaged. Since she
loves going about with other men
and insists on gay times which
you cannot give her, why not have
a friendly talk with her and re-
lease her from her engagement,
SO that she will feel free to en-
joy all her good times?
You and she can still remain
the best of friends and go about
together, occasionally. Then when
you are in a position to marry,
if you still love each other, you
can become engaged to her and
marry her g. few months after
ward. Long engagements are
seldom advisable.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-Grain prices
were generally fractionally higher
than Wednesdays close on the Chi
cago Board of Trade this morning
because Of the news of another spec
tacular bulge at Liverpool.
Wheat opened u to u higher,
while Liverpool was IL to 3A up,
showing that local traders are I'M
willing to follow the British rise
very far. Stocks of domestic and
Canadian wheat are rapidly growing
and export business is checked only
by the lack of bottoms.
Corn was unchanged to u higher.
The various reports on the crop and
the long-drawn-out decline in this
pit seem to indicate a higher level
of prices but for the continued heavy
arrivals of old grain from the coun.
try.
Oats also was unchanged to "a
higher. This pit seems to be in for
another dull day. as it is badly in
need of new developments.
