toward improvement when it came
within 1.6 per cent of equaling the

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The Fed
eral Governments receipts in No
vember were larger than in the
corresponding month last year, but
this increase was more than Offset
by . sharp rise in expenditures, ac-
cording to the Alexander Hamilton
Institute.
The net result, after adjustment
for debt retirements and trust fund
operations, was an increase In the
deficit to $302, ,000. 900 this year from
$205 ,0o0, 900 last year.
Part Of the deficit In November
this year was met by withdrawing
$l22,000,0O0 from the Treasury. The
remainder of the deficit was met
by borrowing $4,000, 900. This
borrowing raised the Federal debt
to new high record Of $38, ,603,-

The Government IN November,
however. did not contribute to in
f1ation by the full amount Of the
deficit, since expenditures included
$129 500, 1000 Of social security trust
fund investments. However, the
contribution to imitation was greater

Iron Age Says

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Iron Age
said today in it's weekly summary
that automobile companies prob
ably will come into the market
again for large tonnages" in the
latter part of January.
1ngot production this week, the
magazine reported, will not exceed
40 per cent Of the industry's ca
pacity because of year -end cautious
ness in steel buying and holiday
shutdowns. 1t predicted, however. a
rebound to about so per cent for
next week.
III automobile production during
the winter months comes up to ex-
pectations," said Iron Age, "the
needs Of this industry, together with
larger rollings of steel for construc-
ton, the railroads, the can manu-
featuring industry and the increas-
ingly important group of miscel-
laneous consumers. should be suf-
ficient to support ingot production
to so per cent or higher during a
considerable part of the first quarter.
The steel industry is keenly in
terested in the proposals for rail-
road rehabilitation made by the
special committee of railroad man
agements and labor, which If carried
out constructively would mean much
to both steel mills and equipment
builders.
with large-scale railroad buying
the outlook for 1899 would be ma
tertally improved. as other major
consuming channels, including auto
mobiles. construction and can man
ufacture. promise to take substan-
TALLY larger tonnages than in 1898.
Scrap prices are unchanged, but
the market has probably been
strengthened by large purchases for
export"

I AS Noel walked around thu
tagged walk, she happened to look
up. At one Of the upstairs win
dows the face Of a little girl was
pressed against the window pane
a pale little thing with large un-
happy eyes. Even in that one
glimpse, there was something
about the wan little face that
haunted Noel.
She felt that this was very
queer household indeed. A lovely
old house with everything fur
nished in such perfect taste except
the crowded sitting room belonging
to it's mistress. Both the butler
and Mrs. Garwood seemed to have
some strange difficulty with their
English, speaking correctly for q
time, even pompously, then lapsing
into bad grammar. And Mrs. Gar
woods manner and temper were
almost insufferable.
The butler was queer, too, with
his unnatural movie mannerisms.
The whole atmosphere of the place
seemed sinister, Noel thought. but
that, she supposed, was only her
imagination. However, she felt
that she would always remember
the face Of that little girl she had
seen in the upstairs window.
Since she had failed in getting
the place, there was nothing else to
do but to walk back to town.
Judging from the time it had taken
her to get out here, it would be al
most 6 when she reached the De
Luxe. She was almost sick with
disappointment at not getting the
position as governess, since it
seemed to be the one kind Of work
she could do. But the thought of
seeing Julian, even If only for a
few minutes, was cheering. She
would pass the Medical arts on her
way back. =
So she decided she would stop for
a minute and see if he was busy.
He had insisted that she was to
keep in close touch with him, so In
stopping by, she was ,rly doing as
he had asked. Noel smiled tiredly
to herself, thinking how easy it
was to find excuses to do the things
one wanted to do.
But she was hoping so much
Julian wouldn't be busy, and that
he would suggest Immediately that
they go over to the De Luxe. It
was surprising how hungry you
grew when your pocketbook was
almost empty. s a
But on arriving at Julian's Office,
Noel was in for another disappoint-
ment. When she opened the Office
door, she found herself facing Ruth
Chester in her crisp white uniform,
who told her in her cool. lovely
voice that Doctor Paige was out.
and would be, indefinitely. Then
she shut the door. For the second
time that day. Noel had door shit
in her face.

same stiff-necked butler stood
there. Noel could have laughed be-
cause he looked so much like a
movie version of butler. Maybe
he had learned his manners from
the movies. It was an amusing
thought.
Follow me-" he told her CURLY.
Noel followed him through a
beautiful formal hall, and up long
fight of carved stairs. Then she
was ushered into a room which was
so crowded with pink damask over
stuffed furniture and flowers that
Noel did not at first see the blonde
woman in the black lace negligee
who was lying on chaise Tongue
among innumerable little satin pill
lows.
When NoePs eyes met hers at
last, the woman was staring at her
rather peevishly through lorg-
nette. She continued to stare for
a long moment. Then she looked
at the butler. isn't there-I
mean, aren't there some more girls
out there-Hichens? 2"
mo, modom, I sent the others
away"
"Well, send this one away too.
She won't do" the woman said
coldly, and turned her face away.
But Mrs. Garwood," the butler
began coaxingly, I'VE had ought to
Il mean, we should give this girl
a chance"
Noel was again conscious Of the
lorgnette being turned in her direc-
ton. whats your name? Where
have you been working? Are you
good at speaking French and CIV
ing music lessons on the piano?"
Noel felt confused at the sudden
barrage of questions. She drew a
quick breath and began, my name
is Noel Doran. I've worked-that
is-I'm experienced with children.
I've had training in French and
music. I know, I mean feel
sure can please YOU"
Mrs. Garwood's protruding blue
eyes were glazing at Noel. II
don't think you know what you
meant" she snapped. Then she
called the butler who had resumed
his stiff position near the door.
"ShoW her out, Kitchens"
Noel felt the buffers eyes upon
her now, queer light in his rather
fishy eyes. But he spoke to the
woman on the chaise Tongue. eff
modom will pahdon me-" he began,
Il suggest that we take this young
lady's address-er-just in case"
Take it," was the impatient re-
ply, "but she can't have the job"
Noel gave the butler her name
and address, which he wrote down
carefully in small notebook.
AS she made her way to the side
door, he followed. You're too
pretty" he said, that's your trou-
ble." AS he closed the door behind
her. he said: Maybe you'll try
