AS she had expected, Faith found
Crystal in her own room.
Fearful now that her elaborate
plans for carrying out DR.. Ho-
garth's prescription for gayety for
the invalid would be fatty vetoed
by the sick girl, Faith paused on
the threshold before knocking.

bade her.
AS soon as Faith opened the door
she knew she was going to have
hard work to retain that cheerful
smile. For Bob had been right.
Crystal was crying again. Faiths
heart contracted with pity. Her hus-
bands cousin was sitting in the
wheel chair, her head resting
against the cushioned back, every
line of her thin body relaxed in an
utter abandonment to melancholy
apathy.
Her eyes were closed. but from
between the lids slow tears trickled
steadily down the thin, rougeless
lips
Her brown hair, which had not

A long, sobhing sigh fiuttered the
girls pale lips, and for one dis
couraged minute Faith thought
Crystal was going to keep her eyes
fast closed.

CHICAGO, August IA [P.-Reports

Corn started at u decline to "a adj

Provisions went lower.
With uneaSineSS prevailing about frost
reports from Canada and extremely

there, the wheat market here made only
a brief response today to Liverpool
quotations lower than due and to word
of increased shipments from Argentina.
Current advices asserted that regardless

Influenced largely by such Canadian re-

STEEL. CORP. POLICIES
ARE SUBJECT OF RUMORS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 14.-With Unit
ed States Steel common dominating the
stock market, Wall Street has never
before had such a variety of Iumors in
regard to the corporations possible flu
ture action for the benefit of stock
holders. Yesterdays further rise in the
shares was largely predicated on a re-
port which went the rounds of the bro
kerage Offices that Steel directors were
holding a special meeting, presumably
to take special action of some sort. The
meeting, however, was merely the reg
ular weekly session of the finance COM
mittee and was rather poorly attended,
due to the fact that several directors
were on holiday. Certainly. If anything
so important as stock dividend were
to have been discussed. as the Street
rumors had 1t. there would have been a
much fuller attendance. The regulation
monthly meeting of directors is sched-
uled for August 81. While it is accepted
that something very favorable is in
store for the corporations stockholders
before the end of the year, the posi-
bility should be borne in mind that the
directors may decide to retire some of
the subsidiary bonds before considering
q stock bonus or a split-up.
