 oe cruel, but to her his cruelty
 would always be, the crying of the ailing child she had other mem ories of him and while they ruled he held her life in his thin hands. She left Judy's room, signing | a little, and went lightly across the landing. On the landing there was a settee with the springs bulg- ing out, grandfather clock that wouldn't go and bamboo plant stand. Marks room, however, was tolerably clear.
 Mark in pajamas and dressing gown, was lying on a couch near the fire. Barbara quietly took a chair opposite him and then, fear | ing that the room was chilly, lifted a log from the basket and but it on. It was too thick for the small grate and it fell with a chatter back on to the fire irons. Mark laughed.

CHAPTER s. LEILA MAKES A BARGAIN

There came faintly through tht house the sound of a door being opened and shut. Leila snatchee up an ermine wrap.
 Lets become unavoidably ab. sent" she suggested, hurriedly un. latching a French window. "Anc you'd better leave tomorrow, dont you think? Father hasn't quite the stamnia to relinquish the son. in-law of his prayers without mak- ing a grievance of it."
 Armitage followed her into tht garden. It lay dark and aromat- ic against the fringe of fire ane the autumn chill-that last bitter sweet breath of yellowing leaf ano dead flowers-stirred Leila's black hair and made play with her fem mine fringes.
 "In any case" she threw at him as they turned in the direction ol I the garage. 'T don't imagine that you'll want to stay on if it's true that Barbara and Mark are to be married on Thursday"
 But she mustn't marry Lodely on Thursday-or ever. I want hel to marry me-"
 Wanting her won't mean get ting her"
 I've generally got what I want provided I've worked for it." You're mad, my dear. Mil lionairing has turned your head You've bought so much-so many emeralds for so many women that you think you can buy Bar bara." as
 Going to help me?"
 She regarded him through the heavy shadows.
 DO you feel sure you'll get youl emerald's worth?"
 That's cheap and nasty of you Leila. You know well enough wny I'd like to give you something yot care about" ~
 She walked on. He had to keeI close to her shoulder to hear hel words. .
 All right! I'll help you fail Don't hate me afterwards, though And don't forget the emerald" ge
 We've a good deal to be thank full for" pronounced Mrs. Lodely Apart for the shakin,' Marks none the worse. Exceptin' in his temper" she added, with the laugh so familiar to Barbara that it was the first thing she expected from Marks mother. z Neither Barbara, in her chair by the fire, nor Mrs. Lodely, coming forward to bestride the hearth ir her mannish way, were big women; but they gave the appearance o1 filling the sitting room of Kings Barn. The reason lay in the room
 There were a great many small tables and large chairs in every corner and on everyledge stooo bric-a-bac, and the over -floweree wallpaper was plastered with wa ter colors of no merit or interest whatsoever. When Mrs. Lodely moved an arm to take her cig- arette case out of her pocket, she did it gingerly. Even so, a chins ornament on the nantel shelf rat. tied and slipped dangerously neal the edge.
 Barbara smiled, but it was a dutiful smile. She had never-ir all the years of her love and pity for Mark-she haV never quits made up her mind about Marks mother. Sometimes she liked hel immensely. Sometimes-no, it wa. ridiculous. Mrs. Lodely couldn't after all, help her loud, frequent laugh and her everlasting tweeds and the drawl that had been the thing" when she rode to hounds in her girlhood, She couldn't helI these things-and on the other side

20 YEARS AGO.
From The Empire

January IS, 1913 Evidence in the inquest held under the direction of Commission CT Grover c. Vim, of the death of John Samuelson, whose body was discovered in his cabin on the Basin Road, disclosed that death resulted from suicide.
 An interesting meeting of the City Council was attended by many citizens, including J. F. Malony, J. E. McKanna, H. P. Crowther, Emery Valentine, James Fitzgerald and Oliver Orange. The most inn portant discussion of the evening resulted in the decision of the Council to purchase property ad joining the City Dock for the erec- ton of a cold storage plant. The proposed contract with the Juneau Fish and Ice Company for the er- ection of such a plant was intro ducad and went through its first reading.
 A large crowd attended the per- formance at the Orpheum Theatre at which the Three Brattons gave specialties and were enthusiastic in their appreciation of the enter tainment.
 The Alaska Steamship Company planned to move it's offices to the Malony Building on Seward Street Mrs. Robert w. Semple returned to her home at Sheep Creek.

 Senator Elect Henry Roden, of Iditarod, was being urged to be- come a candidate for President of the Territorial Senate but did not want to decide until he had con- ferred with his colleague from his Division, Senator Elect Dan Suth- erland, of Ruby, who was also con- sidering becoming a candidate.

FREQUENTLY CLOSED
Government Dollar Bonds Are A.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 16.-Stock
Exchange panics in Japan, such as
have occurred this week, appear to be a
chronic aspect Of q nationa financial
situation that is not only affected by
worldwide economic conditions, but by
Japan's political ambitions.
They close the Stock Exchange in
Toxic more often than In any other
capital city in the universe. When this
happens 1t causes general confusion in
the trade of the country, because it i'm
mediately reacts on exchange and CON-
municates its effects to markets in Eu-
rope and in the United States. The
result Is that japanese credit, as ex-
pressed in terms of her government
dollar bonds and in those of her nu-
merous public utility companies, Is in
jured and the ability of Japan to obtain
financial accommodations from abroad
is practically voided.
There are outstanding approximately
S200,000,000 in Japanese government
bonds in dollar form and quoted on the
New York Stock Exchange About the
same amount Is represented in the
bonds of nine Japanese public utility
companies and $38 900, 900 in City Of
Toxic and City Of Yokahama dollar
loans.

STOCKS DEPRESSED
TO NEW LOW MARK
Market Loses Ground on
Steady Selling of Rail-
way Shares.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February l6-stocks
reacted sharply today in a session Of
general weakness. The low prices were
made in the early afternoon. There
was feeble rally III the last hour, but
the market was sagging again at the
close.
The most reasonable explanation was
liquidation for either institutional or
individual accounts, probably connected
with special situations and certainly
not due to any turn for the worse in
the business outlook. The street was
greatly shocked by the attempt on the
lie OF President-elect Roosevelt and
grieved at the injuries done some of
those in his party. but it was not a
factor in the market
The foreign exchanges moved en-
phat1cally against the dollar. Without
exception all of the European currencies
advanced. Sterling was up only frac-
tlonally, but francs rose l y points, Bel
gian francs Az points, German marks
az points, Swiss francs 734 points.
guilders 7 points and the Scandinavian
currencies l to points.
The only bright spot was the COM
modify markets. Sugar futures were
outstandingly strong up to points.
wheat closed fractionally higher which
was an achievement in the face of the
weakness in stocks. Cotton was steady.
The late trading was featured by
weakness in Standard Oil of New
Jersey and Woolworth.
Just before the close it was announced
that International Harvester had de-
clared dividend of Is cents on the
common against 80 cents previously
paid. The stock sold down to a new
Prices were slightly lower at the
opening and almost Immediately there
after offerings increased and the losses
were extended, in many cases to new
lows on the reaction.
The most disturbing feature was the
way in which the railway shares gave
ground. Atchison, for instance, broke
through 80 for loss of over 2 points
and Union Pacific through 10 for q
drop OF 3 points without attracting sup
port. All the other railroads were
lower, including the recent leader.
Louisville & Nashville.
The only explanation the Street had
TO offer for the weakness in the rails
was that it was due to more mature
consideration Of the National Trans
portation Committees report. 1t was
said that the Michigan banking troubles
nau prevented tnlS document from re-
ceiving the attention it merited yester-
day and that today the Interpretation
was bearish. This was not a satis-
factory analysis, but 1t was the only
one obtainable. The car loading re-
port due Saturday is expected to show
a moderate increase, contrary to the
seasonable trend.
Industrials were under pressure esue-
cially Allied Chemical. National Dairy
Products made a new low. as did
Loew's. The tobacco stocks yielded
and the whole market was heavy. The
best resistance was made by the pub
lie utilities, which up to today had
given poor performance all the week.
Consolidated Gas was firm and Ameri-
can Telephone well supported around
par. The short account in both Of
these stocks Is believed to be very
large. that in Consolidated Gas hav-
ing been increased lately.

feature alone should prove one of
the greatest educational instru-

have in this a practical lesson in
the advantages of raising pure

The Henderson county members
of the $40 year farm program
are most encouraged and feel that
great impetus has been given to
this movement by the announce
ment of the Asheville live stock
yards that their first auction will
be held Friday, June %, at 2
o'clock.
Tn leaders in this $40 year
program have been laying great
stress upon the fact that increas-
ed agricultural development in
Western North Carolina must go
hand in hand with "more and bet
ter livestock" and some very
lasting results are already being
shown through the efforts of the
Purebred Sire association.
However, general improvement
up to this time has been much
hampered by lack of marketing
facilities. The opening of the
live stock yards, with their regu-
lar auction sales is going to meet
one of our greatest needs. AT
these auctions, the farmer may
take the prices offered, or not,
as he sees fit. All stock offered
for sale will be graded by experts
