By VERNE GorLowAY

Susan walked down the street rapidly, swinging her bright red purse by the handle. She mustn't be late. Today of all days she mustn't be late.
 Andy was always cross when he had to wait in the living room while she finished dressing. Even though Nancy was there to talk to him, he was always annoyed; and waiting alone in Tony's would sure- ly be worse.
 He had been annoyed anyway when he called. Annoyed or dis turbed. Abruptly in the middle of planning lunch he had demanded. Am I seeing you too often?" His voice, a thin thread of sound, had come from the receiver almost angrily.
 She had clutched the telephone and stood quite still. It had been such a surprise to hear him say that. Nancy would have known just how to answer him. Nancy under stood men. But Susan had tried twice to speak before she had fin- ally managed to stammer, "Why, don't know. What do you think?" T don't know" he had said. He had paused a long time. "Well, how about some of Tony's spac- ghetti at 1:30?"
 The slim heels of her shining black shoes clicked sharply on the hard stone of the sidewalk. Only a few days ago she and Nancy had been talking, and Nancy had said that when man begins to wonder if he isn't seeing you too often it's pretty fair indica- ton that he doesn't want to see you any more. Then Nancy had laughed little and looked at her. self in the mirror.
 After all, girl has her pride. When man gives her as easy a way out as that she can always take it and thank her lucky stars she didn't wait to be thrown out"
 She was lucky to know someone like Nancy, who could explain things to her. How dreadful if she hadn't undestand what he meant!
 In shop window Susan saw her reflection. At once she straighten- ed her shoulders and walked more briskly. Silly to take it so serious ly when something as trivial as this was happening. Nothing except that a man whom she knew was tired of seeing her.
 It wasn't as though life would stop when she stopped seeing him. Rain would still be rain and after a while she would forget walking

 It was all over. Finished. Done. She must make him see that sI}6 understood. She must even niafs* age to smile. He was trying f0 make it easier for her and al1e mustn't fail him. For a minute sli|o felt comforted to know that no still cared enough to try not to hurt her.
 What would she say? As he was leaving maybe she could tell him "It's been swell, Knowing you. Good-by and don't forget me" M. that wouldn't do. Even thfnking that made her throat choke.

"She Stared at Him ThOughtfulIy.7
 He was giving her chance to save her face. Perhaps she should say You're right, darling. I think we'd betted not see another any more." That would end it beauti- fully, with no blame for either of them--a sensible decision and no fuss about 1t. Nancy would hp- prove.
 Four steps down from the side- walk and through the curtained door. Tonys. The air was thick with smoke.
 Hello. Miss Driscoll."
 Hello, Tony. Is Mir. Andrews here?'
 "Yes'm. In the other room."
 The other room was quieter, lesa logged with smoke. Andy looked up as she came in. His hair was rumpled. She crossed the room and sat in the ch@ ir opposite him. Her hand shook as she pulled off her gloves.
 Hello, Andy. Sorry I'm late"
 You're not. just came myself"
 He smiled at her. No one elst in the world hard as nice a smile al Andy's. Even Nancy said so, tho first time she met him. Your new man has a grand smile, darling When you're tired of him let me know, won't you? I'll catch him on the rebound" Nancy was always joking.
 Andy held a match for sher cigarette. His hand was shaking, too. "I've ordered your spaghetti. With peppers, the way you always have it. All right?" She nodded. swell. I'm starv- ing woman"
 They looked at one another steadily. Andy reached across the table and covered her hand with his.
 Listen to me am seeing you too often? I'm serious. Are you letting me hang around just because you're kind-hearted ?"
 Disregarding all anatomical pfec- edent, her heart stopped for moment, then beat twice as fast to make up for lost time. Could Andy mean that? Could Nancy be wrong? She sqeezed his thumb.
 Now I'll ask you one. Are you tired of me, and gently but firm ly showing me the door?"
 They looked at one another. smiling, and suddenly they both were laughing. Andy sputtered. "of all fool notions! Where did you pick up that one?"
 She stared at him thoughtfully. Where did I pick it up? Well, what made you think you were seeing me too often? Don't tell me you thought 1t up all by yourself"
 "As a matter of fact, Nancy sug- gested it. She kept telling me and telling me that you hadn't the heart to say no. that I wasn't being fair to you .. ."
 Susan was silent for a moment. Did tell you I'm moving to an apartment by myself tomorrow"
 You are? What's wrong? You and Nancy disagree?" Susan laughed.
 "oh, no. Nothing like that. We agree-too we'll"

PIONEERS LIVE
 OVER OLD DAYS
Play Roulette and Black iack-Oldtime Dances
 Are Enjoyed
They were all there.

They were all there.
 Pioneers, near pioneers and Chee- chacos.
 And did they have a good time? Well, ask them.
 Yes, we're talking about the old timers night given by Igloo No 6 Pioneers of Alaska, at the odd Fellows Hall.
 Dawson, in it's palmy days, never saw such gambling as that which flourished last night. Bent old men with canes, matrons of dignified appearance and the younger set jostled elbows to crowd around the roulette wheel and the blackjack tables. If only there had been saw dust on the floor the old-timers would have felt perfectly at home but some of them didn't like the feel of the carpet beneath their feet.
 And speaking of feet, the old time music made some of the vet erans do the double shuffle, and it was not long before the younger generation was catching the spirit. But they couldn't teach the old dogs new tricks and they stood back and admired the didoes cut by several of the 70-year-olds.
 Adding to the realism of the affair was the act put on by the La Belle sisters. They sang their songs in real Honkytonk style and merited the applause they were given
 The lunch counter was one of the most popular places during the evening which just goes to prove that eating is still the greatest of indoor sports.
 The Pioneers entertainment com mittee said this morning that last nights affair was only the begin ming and that the organization is going to come to life and be a leader of entertainment in the city.

Auburndale. Mass.
q. AUBURNDALE, Mass, November 2
R.-Commodity prices during sthe
final week of October continued the
downward trend that began two
weeks ago. Industrial production dur
ing October, however. reached the
highest level since 1880. The factory
employment gain during the month
about equaled the amount employed
last April. Pay rolls jumped upward,
being the largest in four years. The
index figure for freight loadings for
October was around 64, as against the
low point of 58 in July. Substantial
gains were also recorded in department
tstore sales and building contracts.
During the past week cut Of IA in
dividual groups, 6 were lower than the
previous week, advanced, while
remain unchanged.
Industrial prices registered further
advance, the figure this week being
1923, as against 72.7 last week. This
figure is the highest since last January.
Farm Prices Decline.
Agricultural prices were among those
showing a decline during the past
week. Price weakness was due prin-
cipally to wheat, corn, barley and
flaXseed, more than offsetting increases
,tn oats, rye, cotton, eggs, potatoes and
butter.
The live stock index registered the
H., aef Il
This was due entirely to substantial
decrease in hog quotations, which more
than counteracted increases in cattle,
sheep and lambs.
The hide and leather group showed
q further marked gain, the most SUBJ
stantial increase being noted in betting
leather. Union, oak and upper
feathers also advanced considerably.
Building material prices advanced
last week, due chiefly to an increase
In Southern pine lumbers. Lath prices
were also higher, in fact, the first
change for many months.
Paint materials were also among the
declines for the past week, due chiefly
to naval stores and substantial lower
ling in China wood oil prices
The fourth group to advance was
non-ferrous metals, due to another in
crease in quicksilver prices-the third
advance within the past month. Fur
ther price increases were noted also
In tin.
Fuel Group Advances.
The other group to advance was
fuel, due entirely to a moderate in
crease in kerosene prices. while the
three remaining declines included such
groups as fine and coarse textiles, and
vegetable oils.
