When she heard Dons step Sonia
sat up and began to powder her
nose. The precaution was unneces-
sary for he remained in the living
room. Apparently absorbed during
dinner. Rousing only to remark,
Mother writes that she is coming

Panic followed his words. How
could she expect Don's mother to be
deceived when even Anna had seen
that he was not himself? Don no.

She almost wished she were. Then
he would be forced to pay some at
tention to her.
While Don read the paper she was
thinking of his uncle's words, "Have
some children" and settle down. Don
had insisted that she was too young
to undertake the responsibilities of
motherhood. 1t was one of his the.
cries that no girl under 20 had any
business with a baby. =. If he
did not love her she was glad she
had taken his advice. But the
thought of having a child for Don
Saltwater made her tingle with ex

ever make her certain that she was
entirely his.
Being the type of man he was

indissolubly. Nothing could come

desire?
White with agony at the idea of
losing him, she yet insisted that she
would never stoop to any means of

She looked up to see him standing
in the door Of her room.

store and ask her to meet us at the

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 26.-There
was some decrease in the demand for
various grades of steel during the
week, both in the way of specifications
against old contracts and new busi-
ness. Prices in most instances were
steady, but here and there competi-
ton remained keen and mills made
some reductions. Pig iron was unset
tied. Some business was reported in
the Southern markets for 1928 de-
livery while the Eastern markets
were spOtty.
After large sales earlier in the
week, an advance of Il cent to 13a4
cents for electrolytic copper delivered
in the Connecticut Valley served to
check domestic demand. Export sales
we're also in smaller volume. Buyers

tin plate manufacturers closed con

Lead was higher and the demand
better. Cable makers bought a fair

Zinc was firmer with inquiry in the
market to March delivery. Ore was

Markets Is Reflected.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, November 27.--The
wheat market had a heavy tone most
of the session today due largely to
the lack of supporting orders. Locals
were generally on the bear side. but
they refrained from selling early be-
cause of firmness in Winnipeg. Later
the Canadian market weakened and
this encouraged more free selling.

For the week wheat prices show
moderate gains largely due to cover
ing by shorts. Corn closed about
where it left off last Saturday, with
trade dull and featureless.
The local trade is anticipating
December liquidation and favors the
selling side on this account. They
also feel that the technical position
of the market was weakened by elm
nation of much of the short interest

building up stocks for December de
livery and sales of $50, 600 bushels of

advices from abroad told of rye con-
9umers substituting No. Manitobas
for rye. Milling sales We're 1000
bushels. Canadian weather was clear
and cool and the movement from the
interiors is holding up well. Min
neapolis stocks increased 5000 bushels
for one day.
Corn showed stubbornness for
short time in the early trade, but
prices eased off later in sympathy
with wheat. Locals were friendly to
the buying side, but Il leading ele-
vator interest sold December rather
conspicuously. The close was y to
