lead him into deserving her for
Lila's sake. And there was Lila 8
reference to some stolen Jewels.
Why should she think that Rod had
told her about them? Had Lila
any reason to believe that she was
in Rods confidence now? That
would look as II Rod had let her
think so.
Oh. II she could Just keep on
thinking happy thoughts like that
one. But others would intrude. She
couldn't help wondering II Rod had
used her to discourage Lila. Pos.

very resentful. thinking about 1t.
But she was curious. too. She
would like to know about those
jewels. Evidently It was something
important.
There would be q lot to clear up
when she saw Rod. But the pros.

did not want Rod to lie-to tell her
that he had not been interested in
Lila.
Perhaps he would not think Of
doing It. Berthe Lou smiled sadly.
Rod might not want to be coming
back to her-no moro than she
wanted him to. No, that wasn't
the way to put It. She did want
him. But she couldn't forgive him.
She needn't hate or despise him
any longer as she had told herself
she ought to because OF the things
he had done. Her reason for that
had been removed. He had not de-
serted her for Lila. Aud there was
nothing to prove that he had given

She had judged hastily there. Lila

TREASURY TO OFFER
CERTIFICATE ISSUE
Mellon Announces Sale for Early
Next Month to Redeem
Third Liberties.

Secretary Mellon announced yesterday
that the Treasury would offer an issue
of Treasury certificates for sale early
in october to complete the Federal
Governments financial program for this
year.
The new issue, the amount of which
has not yet been determined, will be
substantially smaller than the $3.50 000,-
600 offering of certificates sold Septem-
Der 15. It will provide for the redemp-
ton of third Liberty loan bonds which
are still outstanding as well as to take
care of the financial needs of the Gov
ernment up to December Is.
On September ID 1856, 100000 of
third Liberty loan bonds were outstand-
ing, and up to. and including Septem-
ber 25 $733000,000 of them had been
presented for redemption.
In preparing for the sale Of the GER
tificates in October, the Treasury De-
partment plans to take care of only the
actual fiscal needs of the Government
and to avoid borrowing in excess of the
amount required. The Treasury Is eX-
periencing the same condition in the
maturity of the third Liberty loan bonds
as it has with other long-term issues
at their maturity, that all the maturing
bonds we're not presented for redemp-
ton for considerable time after they
were due.

COAL MERGER PLAN

West Virginia Properties Valued

solidation Program.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 27.-A plan
to consolidate nearly one hundred semi
bituminous coal properties in southern
West Virginia into a huge $150,00o,000
organization suffered a serious setback
Yesterday when the committee formed
to carry out the project announced that
it has abandoned it's efforts.
In brief statement, Isaac r. Mann,
president of the Pocahontas Fuel Co.
and chairman of the committee, eX-
planned that plans for the merger had
been made on the condition of secur-
ing companies representing at least So
100000 net tons of annual production
and that the committee had been un-
able to get the cooperation of sufficient
companies to meet the requirement.
