At last he threw up his work In
 distaste, Long strides carried him out into the surrounding hiliy countryside. But 1t seemed that no amount of walking could re- lieye his turmoil. One thought kept recurring as he strode along,
 What does Robin think l am, offering me money? I might pc
 poor as Job but I'd still have my pride"
 No, David reflected, he'd never accept money from woman- money that she had earned. There was the rub! Robin had been apls to cash in on her ability while he was still struggling along. Davio
 walked faster.
 Ills friendship with Robin that summer had been one bright spos in an otherwise rather drab hic' No. he wouldn't take Robins mon' ey to launch his game, even though he couldn't borrow else. where for lack of security. David's determined jaw grew even more determined as he turned back | toward the town.
 AS Robin approached fork Tn the road which led to her home | she recognized the figure ap- proaching slowly from the other road to be David's An intervening avenue of trees still shielded her from his view. Like lightning n plan flashed through Robins con sciousness.
 She pulled out the much dispuf- cd money and scattered 1t in the road. Her not too distant tomboy days served her in good stead as shc shinned up one of the. trees and became hidden in its thick fol-
 iage.
 David reached the fork in ths
 road and stopped for few mn utes before continuing. As ne
 glanced about, a spot or color n the dusty road attracted his at1 tention. Going up to investigate, he looked down unbelievingly at the new greenbacks that lay scat tered across the road. He p!cked one up. It's neWness crackled; 1t was authentic. David looked around for some possible owner. Everything was quiet no one to be seen anywhere.
 The significance of it broke sud. denly over David and he whooped with joy as he gathered up the bills and stuffed them at random in various pockets. In his excite
 ment he began to talk out loud:
 "What luck! And just when
 needed 1t most. Wait till I tell Rob-
 in." At the thought of Robin. David's long legs began to carry
 him faster and faster toward town
 and the person who mattered most.
 A few moments later Robin slid down the tree to the detriment or summer clothes and gazed up the road after David, a puckish grin on her face nhtdlegigd vagah on her face and the light or tri-' umph in her eyes.

David, you don't understand" Robins voice was exagpernted as she pleaded. "It's only a tempor- ary loan till you can repay me. You need it. Please take it!" Again Robin thrust the money at David, but he turned on he rfuri0ugly. He had been trying to restrain his an- ger, but this was too much.
 Robin, don't you know that you're insulting me? Everything about our friendship has been so splendid up to this moment. Now you've spoiled 1t all"
 David flung the words at Robin with q tempestuous air reminls- cent of a small boy who has been deprived of some prized object. With a final glare he stalked away in hurt dignity, a general air of masculine righteousness apparent in the set of his broad shoulders. Robin looked after him sorrowful ly but with understanding in her eyes. Then she turned away--to walk, and think.
 Several hours later Robin crink- led slim young brows, her eyes concentrated on some invisible point in the distance. She leaned against the smooth bark of young willow tree watching a small brook trickle by. The beauty of rolling ozark country spread out everywhere, but 1t was unnoticed by her.
 "Why must David be so pig headed ?" she unused. T was only trying to help him. He ought to copyright that idea of his before some one else gets hold of 1t. And to think that the money from my first story could make 1t possible!"
 Momcntarily Robins eyes gleamed with the pride of an &C., complishment which was still new. But they clouded again as she recalled David's recent explo- sion when she had offered to let him use the money to secure a copyright.
 "Oh, why does he have to be so proud 2" The sound of her own vehement voice startled Robin and recalled her to the present. Her wrought-up state of mind required an outlet in action. She removed her shoes and stockings. A few steps and Robin was wading in the clear, cool waters of the brook, which kept up ceaseless chatter as 1t hurried past her tagging feet. Robin noticed the slim forms of tiny fish whisk away in. sudden fright as she moved downstream invading their sanctum.
 Finally, braced and relieved, Robin returned to her willow tree and again put on shoes and stock ings. refecting as she did 50 that they were symbols of q more or less fetered civilization. As she started homeward, her eyes held a new light and she expressed herself to the world at large, For

NEW YORK, Jan. II G.N.sD D.-There
was little change today in the dull trad
ing pace that has prevailed in the coarse
yarn cloths market since the turn Of the
year, and prices for leading construc-
tionE continued generally steady. Al
though there are growing evidences that
some sellers are becoming impatient
awaiting the development of the much
talked of spring covering movement,
sentiment in the market still is strongly
disposed toward greatly accelerated aC-
tivity and higher prices over the course
of the next few weeks. A few print

prices which until recently have applied
only on January shipments.
