Grains closed steady to firm to-
day. Wheat was up 13s02c,

rye were unchanged to 11ac up.
Wheat scored gains of about 1c

was well maintained during the
forenoon. Better cables than eX-
pected and continued dry weather
in the Southwest were strengthen
ing factors. Short covering was
a feature. Some profit-taking ap-

Liverpool was old lower and

better demand from mills. Little

Corn ruled moderately higher
in sympathy with wheat. Offer

favorable for movement to market.
Oats averaged steady with a

 Collier turned a bland gaze on h,m. Out with what?" | There's something on your mind, you big stiff; you can't fool 1 me-
 But Collier denied that this was so. The only thing on my mind IS this story that and the fact that you and I have a date. tomor- row night to go. to the opening. Anne's still going, by the way, isn't she?" ..
 Dan said she was, and he stood there and looked at Collieg sus- p!ciously for some time. You've been up to something,' he said finally, and he turned away and left Paul to his work.
 His suspicion proved to be we'll founded, but it was not until the next day that he heard the story from Johnny Riddle. Johnny who sooner or later heard about every thing, said that Collier had pulled Frank Maury's nose.
 "No." Dan said.
 "I'm telling you" Johnny insist ed. There were witnesses. The story's all over Hollywood now"
 The incident lost nothing in Johnny's dramatic version of it. This was substantially correct, but bit colored. Dan learned that eve ning when he accused Paul Collier as they were dressing for the opening,
 Holding out on me, eh?"
 Collier grinned guiltily. What do you mean?"
 You don't know. eh?'
 Paul said, T ran into him over on the Lawson Brothers lot, and I asked him how come all the em- barrassment the other afternoon. Frank got insulting, so I pulled his nose for him.
 Rorimer laughed at the terse narration. 'What did he do about it ?"
 Nothing" Paul was struggling into a wing collar
 You knew darn we'll you'd run into Maury over at Lawson Broth CTS, didn't you?'

 Did it hurt?" Dan asked.

 You big brute.' said Dan. and he sat on Golfers bed and laughed, and watched the others agonizing struggle with his collar button.
 Johnny tells me the storys all over Hollywood, Dan said. Here. let me fix that collar for you be- fore you tear it apart"
 Paul sighed in relief as Dan snapped the intractable collar in place. He said, with some concern;
 T sure hope it doesn't get to Eva, I wouldn't like that a bit"
 Who saw it?"
 why, there were two or three people around, I guess. I didn't pay much attention. I told him l wanted to see him privately. but he tried to duck it. so I put it up to him right there" Paul stopped and went to work on his tie.
 "Aw. tell me what happened. will you?' Dan cried in exasperation.
 That's all. He said it wasn't any of my business, and I said, , Yes. Frank, I guess that right, only I thought it was kind of fun ny; and then he tried to tell me where I headed in. He thought he could get away with it. but he made a mistake" "Good" Dan exclaimed. and he glanced into Pauls mirror to straghten his own tie. HI edidn't try to take punch at you. did he ?"
 And Paul grunted. No such luck" But Dan. surveying the others long arms and broad shoul- ders fondly. thought; I'm glad
