Guess you're glad you're stayin
inside he chided.
Fifteen minutes later she stood
in the doorway and saw him off t.
meet Tony She watched until he
had stepped into the car and then
hurried upstairs.
MFRS. WHEELER had been given
N1 instructions to have Tony's
room exactly as the girl liked 1t.
The door stood open now. Judith
paused to take a careful survey and
note that the vases had been filled.
Then she hurried across the hall.
There were two hours at least
to wait. She knew it would take
that long before Knight and his
daughter would be home. Judith
went downstairs and planned the
days marketing with Mrs Wheeler.
She tried tactfully to make the
older woman feel this consultation
lent Importance to the household
management and in this she sue
ceeded. That second morning the
girl knew she had won Mrs.
Wheeler's loyalty.
But planning menus and making
shopping lists was not enough to
fill the long interval of waiting.
Judith made erTands upstairs and
downstairs, watching the clock.
Then she heard the car!
She rushed to the hallway. Yes,
there they were. Standing beside
her father, a diminutive figure in
scarlet and gray, was Tony Knight.
Judith hurried to meet them.
How attractive Tony lookedI
Her gray coat was thrown over
her fathers arm. Tony wore a suit
of bright red worSted stuff. A close
fitting scarlet beret was pulled down
over her head. She wore high
French-heeled pumps and cobwebby
hose. Tony knight carried herself
with an air.
That was the secret Of her attrac-
ton, really. The saucy little nose
might have been insignificant but
for the queenly tilt of Tony's head.
Her lips were too full and Violent
ly scarlet. She had lustrous eyes,
rather wide-set, and the same rich
brown shade as her fathers. Tony
had her fathers chin, too. 1t was
her best feature.
Yes, Tony Knight was pretty
enough to win attention anywhere.
She came up the walk ahead of
Arthur, tiny, ridiculous, preening
figure, giving, for all the world, the
impression that retinue of slaves
should follow.
"Tony-I'm so glad to meet you'll"
Judith's little cry held both anxiety
and eagernesS. With both hands
outstTetched she came forward.
And Tony?
Looking neither to left nor right,
the girl marched past Judith and
into the house. 1t was as though
she had not seen her.

Harriet began serving the meal.
Judith Knight was proud of the
menu. hoping Cora had made no
mistakes. She had planned the meal
with regard for Arthur's taste.
She knew ne liked to start dinner
with an oyster cocktail and the
blue points were properly iced.
Then there was a consomme, roast
beef, not over done, but quite ten
der, vegetables, a salad and cheese
served with Barbecue jelly and
waters.
They had coffee in the living room
before the fireplace. Both of them
sat on the big divan and watched

They sat there long while after
Harriet had taken away the coffee
tray. Arthur Knight praised his
bride for the housewifely knack she
already was demonstrating. He
looked what he was, happy, we'll

BRISK RALLY SENDS
STOCK LIST HIGHER
Market Shakes Off Declining
TendenCy-Good Gains
Scored.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The expect
ed rebound in share prices occurred
in today's stock market with a violence
that compensated for its hardness.
With the nervous whisperings which
preceded the Sisto suspension partially
quoted by the actual development, a
great weight seemed to have been lifted
from the market, and the bear faction
was completely engulfed by the swift
upruSh of prices. The market was
inclined to turn dull on the advance,
however, for business and trade reports
were not cheerful.
The advance, nevertheless, was one
of the sharpest of the year. Gains of
points or so were general among
more active issues. Shorts were sharply
squeezed in a few specialties. Several
prominent shares Surged up to 6
points. including United States Steel,
Dupont, Sears Roebuck, Union Carbide,
Westinghouse Electric, International
Business Machines Eastman, American
Can, Air Reduction, American Tele-
phone, and American Water Works. Case
and Canadian Pacific gained more than
10.

that technical rebound in share prices
could not longer be deferred.
Among the less pleasing of the days

In former days, they were at

That was before Longworth be-
