Cuil's memory did not function. He was
struggling to remember whether he ever had
danced with her-o even been formally
introduced - when she flung into the seat be-
side him and grabbed his wrists with fingers
of amazing strength.
I'm in terrible trouble" she said, and
Cyril happened to recall the word "hysteria"
and wondered what in the world he'd do about
it if his diagnosis proved correct.
For few moments she said nothing more.
and Cyril was privileged to do little think
ing on his own account. He had an un-
comfortable feeling that he knew the truth.
He had read of estimable young ladies being
forced to walk home from auto rides, and
while - in a way-he fancied the role OF
samaritan, he had moments disturbing
remembrance of the chap who was named
Morris or Morrison or Marston or something
of the sort. Undoubtedly, it must be that
chap and he was very large man. Perhaps
if he wished this young lady to walk, he
Cyril - should have let her walk.
Cyril was very much surprised. Morris -
or Morrison - didn't look like the kind of
young man who would attempt to make
marathon ramblers of his lady friends. He
seemed like pretty cleancut sort of chap;
rather decent, as it were But it may not have
been Morrison, reflected Cyril. Perhaps this
young lady had gone riding with some less
personable gentleman. Cyril had vague
hunch that she might not be entirely un-
accustomed to the automobiles of gentlemen.
In fact - although he despised himself for
the thought - he did consider for a moment
that she wasn't the type well, not exactly,
anyway - that he would expect to find walk
ing home.
You've got to help me, Mr.. Cramer."
1t did not occur to him to be surprised
that she knew him. and he was certain now
that he knew her - though who she was, or
what her name, he didn't remember.
Certainly III help. he promised gently.
'On your word of honor?"
Cyril felt rather silly pledging his word
of honor. Sounded like book - but he did
it. Immediately she shuddered with sobs.
''You mustn't do that - really. Every
things all right now"
But it isn't all right You don't under

and eyeing with approval the undulating path
of moonlight on the water -.
Miles away, where the shore line curved
out after having dipped in toward the hinter-
land everglades, he could see the garish
glitter of hotels and cottages. He fancied he
could hear faint strains of music. He sighed
as he pressed the starter and reluctantly
swung the nose of his car once again toward
the gentle haven of his hotel suite.
The road along which he drove hugged the
shoreline for most of the way. but occasion
ally it twisted briefly inland from some sand
dune, cut through short stretch Of palm
and palmetto. and then emerged again to the
edge of the beach. 1t was on one of these brief
inland detours that Cyil's headlights caught
the figure of woman.
This particular woman impressed Cyril as
being distinctly interesting. She was far
from the nearest house or hotel; she was
garbed in an intriguing evening gown; she
was walking southwark and she was walking
fast. She was walking 50 fast that she
stumbled occasionally. and as Cyril's head
lights picked her out of the blackness she
seemed to make an instructive gesture toward

RATE UP
LESS THAN
EXPECTED

Steel production rate advanced
one point to 521a per cent of ca
pacity last week, but the improve
ment this far in 1885 in smaller
than steel makers anticipated,
states the magazine Steel.
The publication asserts:
ut has become apparent De-
cember's record was attained at
the expense of January"
An operating rate of 81 Pc cent
in each of the two remaining
weeks of this month would be
necessary for January merely to
equal the 55.6 per cent average for
December, and barring an unfore-
seen bulge in new commitments
this is improbable, Steel adds.
This is the first time since the
depression year 1921 when steel
production in January failed to
exceed that of the preceding
month.
The rise in the operating rate
since January l is points, while
last year in the same period 1T
was 812 points.
Curtailment in new steel COM
mitments is attributed mainly to
the automobile industry which
last week reduced assemblies to
$4,000, or $500 below the high
point in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The
decline in production is expected
to continue until late February or
early March, Steel says.

The jump in the net debt from

Curb stocks continued to work

declining gradually and showing
few substantial losses. Trading

of proportion to the rest OF the
market. Eastern Gas and Fuel
Associates s per cent pfd. dropped
a point, and United Light and

substantial loss. Electric bond

500 HAVE SIGNED
WHEAT CONTRACTS

TCOHtiBued from First Psgel
culture to wheat producers through
out the country.
! The dead-line for receiving appli-
cations for these new wheat con-
tracts was November 18th. but since
that date the allotment committee
has been engaged in checking over
and correcting these applications,
with the result that a report cannot
be made at this time regarding the
exact number of completed appli-
cations. It is expected, however,
that there will be approximately 500
wheat contracts in these two cOun-
ties, according to Kent County Agent
Russell e. Wilson, secretary Of the
Kent and Sussex County Wheat Pro-
ductiOn Control Association.
Within the past few weeks checks
from the Treasurer of the United
States representing the second bene-
fit payments for 1884 and the first
benefit payments for 1885 for acre
age compliance with reference to
the 1885 wheat crop have been re-
ceived by l.. r. Cain, treasurer of
the association, for distribution
through the Kent County Extension
Office. These checks are being re-
ceived as rapidly as the 1885 COM
plnance certificates on all former
wheat contracts are approved and
released for payment by the Rental
and Benefit Audit Section of the
Adjustment Administra-
tion in Washington. Payments on
the 1936-1939 wheat contracts will
not be made until sometime next
year.
