er," said he. “We heard that you—that you had catalogued the Ralston library. Miss Chesebrough?” “I finished it several weeks ago—in June, in fact," Patricia admitted. "Exactly!” said young Palmer. “Dick Ralston happened to mention it at the-h’m-club.” Again Patricia felt an inward twinge of malicious laughter. She remembered that after infinite discussion, some unflattering publicity and one rejection, Daniel Palmer recently had been elected to the best Deerbridge club, the Trappists. Also, Richard Ralston was known to all his real intimates as "Ticky”; she had never heard him called “Dick’* before. "Are you working on some other library now?’ pursued Dan. ‘No.’’ Patricia flushed faintly. "I am doing nothing now." "You know we bought the Carolan library," the man said. "It is all card-catalogued already!’’ He hesitated and, glancing from him to his mother, Patricia saw that she was a trifle confused, too. “Did you wish it catalogued again?” she asked helpfully. “No," he answered; "we don’t read it—much, anyway!” Poor Carolans! They had loved their books, the girl thought resentfully. To think that the first editions and the rare folios, the vellums and morocco, should have fallen to the "Sensatone Palmers”!

“OUT i’ll tell you what we were D thinking about,” Dan was saying, with sudden desperate firmness, “and then we can talk turkey! You see, we have a little girl coming home next week, Miss Chesebrough, my sister Pansy. She’s 18 and she’s finished school—Miss Faraday’s school.” “I w’onder how they got her in there!’’ Patricia thought. "We want her to have a good time,” Mrs. Palmer said eagerly. “And, of course, I can’t do much, tied here in my chair.” , "You couldn’t do much in any case!” Patricia thought, half amused and half pitying. But her respectful expression did not change. "Mama’s first idea was to have Pansy bring some girl home with her from school . . Dan began. “That’s the reason we sent her to that school!” his mother interrupted. "But they’re all snobs!” she added, regretfully, to Patricia with a smile that softened the ugly words. “So we thought we’d talk it over with you,” Dan said wtih certainty. Patricia thought that she began to understand now, and she bit her lip with a faint negative motion of her head. A Chesebrough as the companion of the impossible heiress of the Sensatone Palmers? It was not thinkable. “We want her to start right here,” Dan went on. 'We want her to know the right people and belong to the right clubs.” “I really never have done anything but library work,” Patricia said as he paused. She felt a trifle at a loss. ”1 don’t feel myself qualified to be a companion or a governess—” she added uncertainly. "Who said anything about wanting you to?” the man asked with a sort of jocose rudeness. Patricia’s clear color rose, but she did not speak. "This is the proposition, Miss Chesebrough,” he went on. “We are rich, my mother and I; I guess everybody knows that. I have my business and my club and my—my friends, and I get what I want out of life!”

HE brooded heavily for a moment and then repeated: “I get what I want out of life! My mother,” he added suddenly, “lived for my father. They traveled' for years, and when he died she put Pansy into a New York school and came on here. Then she and I amused ourselves building this house. We found out then What Deerbridge society is like.” he added contemptuously. “I can put all my cards on the table with you; you know what happened!” Patricia was too much embarrassed to answer. The unattended receptions and dinners at “The Castle” and the ungratified desire of Mrs. Palmer to enter Deerbridge's inner social circle were still fresh in Deerbridge's mind. “Now, I don't care much about a little western town like this! - ' Dan said, magnificently, “but Pansy does. She's coming home, and she wants to come out. She wants to belong to the Country Woman’s Club and Entre Nous dances. “We virtually built this house for Pansy. My mother likes the old house better, really. But we want Pansy to have a good time. We want her to marry the right man, some day. And that's where you come in!” he added. “Well, but surely you have friends here who will be glad to welcome her,” Patricia murmured. Her tone was pleasantly aloof, but her cheeks were burning with the awkwardness of the talk. I should—since you have been so good as to take me into your confidence—l centainly should advise you to ask the friends you have to the house," she pursued. “Give dinners, widen her natural circle of friends, in the—in the natural way. Wouldn't that be the wisest plan?” she suggested, hopefully. “It would be if we had lots of time,” the brother agreed. “But the season will be opened in about another month! When do those Entre Nous invitations go out?” “I don't think it would be possible for her this year. . . .” Patricia be-

gan gently and regretfully. "My aunt, Mrs. Anthony Page, is really in charge of that, and I imagine that the list is all made up by this time.” "Exactly, your aunt is Mrs. Page.” Dan said, “and you are related to the Pomeroys and Eyres and Throckmortons, aren't you? Exactly. Now, I’ll tell you our proposition, Miss Chesebrough, and you can take it or leave it, just as you see fit.” His rather heavy face was lit by excitement now, and he was leaning forward in his chair. "You have undoubted position here,” he said. “You belong to one of the oldest families, and you have relatives in all the others. You know them all, and just how they grade socially, and they know you. "Now, I’m not asking you to come here to live; that isn’t my idea at aIL b b n “T’M asking you to meet my sister A —you'll like her —and to take her about with you and get her started. You’ll know better than I how to manage it. You supposedly will be cataloging our books, but you will be as free as air. You’ll have the cars and the boat—anything; all the money you need! “And, of course, I’ll make it worth your while. You’re a business woman, and I’m talking business. You undertake this,” he continued earnestly, “and I’ll bank S3OO to your account on the first day of every month. More than that, if Pansy marries, and marries decently—s2s,ooo cash. Now, how about it?” Patricia’s first thought was that of all the delicious gossip that had been drifting about concerning the Palmers, this was the most delectable scrap. She must, remember every word of this for her intimates to laugh over! But the mention of s3l*o a month had given her a second's resentful pause. They could offer her this, these plebeians! ‘And, oh,” she groaned in her heart, “why couldn’t it be something I could do?” For Patricia was poor; only she herself knew how desperately and how humiliatingly poor. She went to luncheons and teas, she drifted in and out of the Countrywomen’s Club, the city’s most exclusive doors were open to Patricia; but she owed money at her cheap little boarding house and she had not a whole dollar in the world. “She don’t have to marry money!” Mrs. Palmer said, when the son paused, “but a geritleman, that’s all. Now, she met a man coming across the ocean two years ago, and she liked him real well, and he didn’t have a cent; but she was only 16 then, and, of course, she was only a little girl! But a man like that, I mean. It was Sidney Hutchinson, the artist ” Sidney Hutchinson! Patricia’s heart gave a spring. But immediately amusement blotted out every other emotion. Sidney the exquisite, Sidney the rare, casually allotted to Pansy Palmer! She had a quick vision of him, in his painty smock, dreaming over his piano; she seemed to hear his strangely sure and half cynical comment upon a book. "D’ye know him?” asked Dan. “Oh, very well. He—l’ve known him since before my father’s death, eight years ago. He is just painting my debutante cousin, Roberta Throckmorton.” “He could paint Pansy!” said Pansy’s mother. “What do you think of the proposition?” Dan resumed in a businesslike tone.

DIVIDED between amusement and indignation, she escaped. She would “let him know,” she had “something else in mind.” She could “telephone, but was sure that it wouldn’t be—wouldn’t be possible.” And so she was descending the shallow marble steps from the great doorway of “The Castle” again, and drawing a great breath of relief with the first rush of cool October air. Ugh, what impossible and dreadful people! shuddered Patricia, walking briskly to shake from soul and body the contamination of their company. Her cheeks were burning, she felt curiously shaken between laughter and tears. The city lay below her, flooded with soft autumn sunlight. Pungent smoke from leaf fires rose and hung softly in the blue air. Children were flashing about the raked lawns of the park, the air was thin and sweet, and the last leaves were slowly circling down.

Something poignant and melancholy stirred at her heart; in the still air she seemed to have a foretaste of winter and furs, and street lights blooming in early darkness. For the very deer in the park, for the terriers trotting beside the children, provision would be made against tire months of darkness and cold. And for her, the last of all the Chesebroughs, what? She seemed out of the magic circle to which this season brought only augmented merrymaking, only The sweet sharpness of violets and the comfort of deep chairs beside the fire. Summer had been hard for her, despite all its casual invitations to shore and mountains. But she was afraid of the winter as she had never been afraid before. (To Be Continued.)

HOOVER TO GET LEGGE VIEW ON WHEATPRICES Farm Board Head Ends Trip to Grain Belt, Backing Cut in Acreage. Bu United Prete WASHINGTON, July 21. New developments in the administration’s handling of its perplexing wheat problem were looked for here today with the return from the west of Alexander Legge, federal farm board chairman. Legge, who has been touring the farm belt several weeks, is expected to present a report to President Hoover shortly after his arrival. It is believed a statement of future plans, based, on his observations, will be made by Legge soon. On his tour, which extended as far west aS the Dakotas and Minnesota, Legge has been propounding his theory of limited production of wheat in the country’s great grain centers. He consistently has held a decreased output is necessary to bolster the price of wheat, now the lowest iq nearly twenty years. During Legge’s absence, Senators Capper and Allen (Rep., Kas.), have led a movement to have the government buy an addition 100,000,000 bushels of wheat to withhold from the market in an effort to bolster the price. The Kansas senators are expected to confer with Legge upon this matter today or Tuesday. They have indicated they will press for favorable action upon the proposal despite the fact that It has been frowned upon by the administration. The government already holds 69,000,000 bushels of wheat, purchased last spring by the grain stabilization cornoration at prices considerably higher than those prevalent now.

CONAN DOYLE ‘SPEAKS’ AGAIN % Ontario Message Accepted as Authentic by Wife. Bv United Press , . LONDON, July 21.—A “spirit message” Mrs. Mary Heron, Peterborough (Ont.) medium, claimed she received from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was accepted as authentic by Lady Doyle today. “My husband, in his message, said he saw me last Thursday in a small room and wanted me to take great care of certain papers,” Lady Doyle said. “I was in a small room Thursday in connection with those papers. “My husband’s reason for using Mrs. Heron obviously was to show she could know nothing of what I was doing at that hour, thousands of miles away.” The message was the second Lady Doyle believes was transmitted from her husband since his death two weeks ago. The firs'- was through a medium at memorial services 'for Sir Arthur at Albert Hall here a week ago. FIRE" ON EGYPT MOB Several Killed in Rioting Over Parliament Issue. Bn tUriied Prrss CAIRO, July 21.—Several persons were killed today when Egyptian police fired on a mob here. The rioting still continued at 1:30 p. m.

HOSPITAL BABY ! MIXUP PUZZLE 1 TO SCIENTISTS All Tests Fail to Show Anxious Parents Who Is Whose Child. Bu United Prrse CHICAGO, July 21.—Baby Bamberger and Baby Watkins were the despair of scientists today. After blood tests, skin pigmentation tests, cranial measurements and the like, none of the six learned gentlemen called into consultation were able to tell for sure which baby belonged to Mr. and Mrs. William Watkins and which to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bamberger. Two little pieces of adhesive caused all the confusion. The three-weeks-old infants were born in the Englewood hospital on June 30, almost at the same time. Ten days later they and their mothers left the hospital. The two families never doubted they had their own babies until Watkins timidy tried bathing his first-born. On the baby’s back he encountered a piece of adhesive‘tape that bore the name “Bamberger.” He fairly flew over to the Bambergers, and out of a wastebasket came another piece of adhesive tape thas said “Watkins.*
