ttat perhaps after all this Dempsey

Jack Kearns, a dapper man, who

This Kearns man. who has been

his former playmate to come out

NEW YORK. December 15.-'The

In the foreign group the Italian ~

turnover the quotation crossed 90 for
the first time in a long time. In all
the recent buying of foreign bonds
the Italian issue has Jagged behind
the only explanation being the large

back, otherwise Italian exchange
would not be selling around the years

Next to the Italian. the Belgian and
the French obligations were In the
greatest demand. Belgian rs of both
maturities held around their best pre-

vorably with other Southern roads.
After the rapid advance of yesterday
local traction bonds reacted quite
sharply. Statements rejecting doubt

WHEAT SCORES GAINS
AFTER DOWNTURNS
Buying Based on Fact That Stocks
at Chicago Are Small--Corn

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 13.-Wheat
scored moderate gains in price today
after a downturn at the start. Buy
ing was based more or less on the
fact that Chicago wheat stocks are
small and that there is but little
sunarent chance to draw shipments
from other centers. Opening at a de-
cline to Is advance, wheat underwent
r. slight general setback and hen
rose all around. Corn. oats and pro-
visions also developed firmness. corn
starting unchanged to II off and
subsequently, showing upturas.
Considerable notice was taken to-
day of smallness of wheat primary
receipts, especially of the fact that of
late they have been averaging only
about half as much in volume as a
year ago. This circumstance was
pointed out as of unusual significance,
the United States having raised a
small crop last year and q large crop
this year.
one of the reasons advanced for the
fading away of primary receipts of
wheat at present is that the bulk of
the domestic crop this year was OF
such exceptionally fine quality that
domestic and foreign millers both
have bought it eagerly ever since
harvest. II was suggested today by
q trade authority that this wheat has
gone into consumer use at Il mere
rapid rate than was in general sup

Kidney Trouble.

In England. a woman of 63, two
months ago, attempted to commit
suicide by cutting her throat. She
merely prolonged her life.
This woman has just died in a hos
pital from the chronic disease which
tempted her to end her life. Medical
testimony at the inquest showed that
the woman suffered from nephritis.
In the stress of mental disturbance
she cut her throat months ago. She
inflicted a wound inches long but
missed the main arteries. Her doctor
stated that the resulting hemorrhage
reduced the blood pressure on the
brain and undoubtedly prolonged her
life. The doctor said that death
would almost certainly have occurred
before, but the loss of blood kept her
alive another month or six weeks.
This was q most curious instance
and most tragic.
Nephritis is disease of the kidneys
commonly known as Bright's disease,
Should the kidneys reach that state.
the damage is irreparable. but proper
care and diet may prolong life and
useful activity for many years
Disease of the kidneys may be

structures that they will not be able
to do the work required and will wear

CHAPTER LII.
The Fly Is Caught.

Anv woman who has ever been
humbled to the ground by the man
she loves and later has a chance TO
humble him would have no difficulty
in understa nding the feeling of eXult-
ancy that surged through Helena.
She had woven her web and the
fly had drifted into it. In that mo-
ment of triumph she longed for the
strength to let him go out of her
life. What q satisfaction it would be
if she were able to do that! But she
loved him. He meant more to her
than any one else in the world. Ana
she realized in that moment that the
weaving of the web must be con-
tinued. He must never know that
she had tricked him, and she must
always make him think that he cared
more for her than she did for nam.
She didn't think it was fair, but
lust the same it was life. Women
nearly. always loved their husbands
more than the husbands did them.
Just what did you expect to gain
by telling me all this?'
