Chicago Grain
3y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 15-With the
Liverpool market a fraction under
what was expected, Chicago wheat
averaged little lower early today.
Bears emphasized that exports of Ca
madam are far behind the total
year ago, and thst world imports, esti-
mated to attain $40 100000 bushels
during the present crop year, may ap-
parently fall short Of even 100000 900.
Opening unchanged to "a cent lower,
May, 98baA, wheat then held near
to these limits. Corn started un-
changed to Is of, May, 61Aal2, and
afterward advanced somewhat.
Crop damage reports poured in from
the western part Of Kansas as well as
from the Oklahoma Panhandle and
Northern Texas. Dispatches said
duststorms in those sections gave stress
to the dryness there and to the ap-
proach of the windy weather period
characteristic of the dust bowl region.
One observer reported the blows had
completely destroyed quite little
wheat which looked good until week
ago, some fields presenting the appear
ance of having been cut even with the
ground as if by knife.
Speculative buying, however, lacked
volume and price gains we're relatively
slight. Winnipeg reported that only a
few loads were taken overnight for
European shipment. On the other
hand, domestic primary receipts to-
tailed but 134,000,00o bushels, an
amount hardly more than half as
much as on the corresponding day last
week.
Corn and oats firmed with wheat.
Provisions held about steady.

seeing queer things, for there are
many things on the seaShore queer to
those who seldom or never go there.
Fish Crow. who lived there the year
around, didn't find so many Of these
things queer at all, for he was accus-
toned to them. But he admitted that
even he saw some queer things, and
one of these which he had one time
seen was a fish who refused to be
swallowed. He told Blacky that when
Graywing the Gull had caught that
fish it was small enough to be swal-
lowed, but by the time Graywing had
reached the shore with it, it was too
big to be swallowed. Before he had
finished the story there had been q
chance for the two Crows to get some
clans, and until the tide came in and
put an end to this they were too busy
for stories. 1t was while they were
resting that Blacky asked for the rest
of the tale.

at first think it was a fish. 1t was
round, almost like ball. On one side
was a funny little mouth, which kept
opening and shutting. and there were
two eyes which kept rolling in the
funniest way. When I poked it, it
rolled on the beach. Then I discovered
it had funny little tail. picked it
up by that funny little tail, but the tail

he turned toward the shabby old man,
who was lolling in the most COM
Portable chair in the office.
VERY well, Winters. The under
standing is that you pay the retainer
fee in the event that your case stands
a good chance of winning; if, on the
other hand, I feel that you will lose
in trial. I'll charge you nothing"
mo side-stepping? If the case as
I present it to you doesn't stand to
win, then pay you nothing?"
Garrett buried his hands in his
pockets. If luck weren't so bad. if he
didn't need money so much, he
wouldn't take a chance. He'd kick
the old buzzard right out of the door
and see that he didn't stop when he
reached the sidewalk.
*+
"SHOOT," he ordered. I'm all ears.
You needn't be afraid I'll not
stand to the bargain. But you're a
rotten old egg"
Winters chuckled as if the other
had bestowed particularly flattering
compliment, drew a cigar from his
breast pocket, seemed to be about to
offer it to Garrett, reconsidered and
returned 1t to safety.
Its this way. Neighbor of mine
Jason Brett, built him fence about
Is years ago just before bought my
place. Never had the land surveyed.
I take it. Had the nerve to fence in
a strip of the best land this side of
Bolton; includes stretch of brook,
too. Mighty valuable piece. Now I
had my doubts. Thought he'd been
playing whole hog. Had a surveyor
up the other day-got the job done
cheap, too. Just as suspected. My
line includes that land and a quarter
mile of brook. I told Brett he couldn't
get away with that. Showed him the
deed-showed him the surveyors
figures"
WINTERS pounded the floor with
w his cane and his pale blue eyes
narrowed.
"'Now, SIR says I, I'll take that
case right over to Garrett and he'll
have the law on you. Damages and
fines and costs There won't any
body do me in deal. I'll let him
know what he's up against"
Garrett'S lips opened, but he didn't
speak. The expression of the wrinkled,
twisted, mean old face before him
somehow got under his skin, as it al
ways did. There was the time Winters
made laughing stock of him over the
Walker affair. And he'd come here
