Barrell The legitimate situation is

sufficiently strong to warrant buying wheat on all good recessions, but

profits should be taken on good up

turns.

Logan There will be good reason

for taking hold of wheat on the buy

ing side of every oversold spot like that at the close Saturday. Bache With a broad and active speculation it is felt that the public is ready to take hold and the advance finally will result in activity on the part of the general public before many days.

"I am getting frightfully cynical," Elberta said dolefully, arranging the cushions on the box couch so the becoming red one would be nearest her face, "and I don't like It. My dislike Is not founded so much upon moral grounds as from a regard for my complexion." "Eh?" remarked Mr. Tcrhune helplessly. "Your conversation, my deal Elberta, often seems Involved.

"Now, my dear girl, don't fly off Into a psychological discussion, for either nature defrauded me or they left out something In my college course, I don't know which. The only thing I want to know Is why being cynical should affect your complexion." "Thafs easitf explained.

"But, my dear child," protested Mr. Terhune, "I could run In almost any time to admire the marceled hair, and if I didn't happen to come at the psychological moment you could phone me at any minute, and I would be delighted dee-light-ed to rush to admireJust count on me for any old time," he added graciously. "John, you are at Internals positively foolish," she said severely, trying to select from the box in her lap a chocolate that contained a nut. "I am tired of being admired by plain, everyday men." "Like me?" he suggested amiably. "I didn't say I was rude or impolite enough to call you names. L merely said I was cynical," she demurred. "Oh, call me a plain, everyday man If you like," he conceded graciously "If it makes you feel one tiny bit better to work off your cynicism on me, Lady Fair. 'Tis sweet to die for er I'm not strong in poetry, Elberta, but I'm willing to help you out all I can. So you want the marcel to be admired by some wonderful being. Elberta, my child, don't you think a perfect man would let his thoughts run upon er scientific lines and not undulations in hair lines?" "He wouldn't, I'm sure, labor under the Impression that he could make puns," she sniffed disdainfully. "Even if he didn't make puns he might be disagreeable in other reBpects," suggested Mr. Terhune hopefully. "Ills very perfections, my dear girl, would make him clear slighted enough to see the Imperfections of others. Now, I think you are perfect, but he probably would not take to you at all on account of your Imperfections." "Indeed? Would you enumerate them?" The tone struck Mr. Terhune us being slightly icy, but however Foolish, he evidently was not lacking In bravery. "If you will for once let me assume that I, even I, am a perfect man, perhaps I can give you a few of the ideas he might entertain." "Pray do. It cannot fail to be interesting,"1 freezingly. "That reminds me. I met Miss Deland on the street this afternoon, and T never in my life saw so perfect a profile. , She is the exact type that would make a suitable mate for your perfect man. And I think she has the daintiest little nose I ever saw," rem--iniscently. Elberta reddened slightly. She had always wondered if her nose were not a triSe large, and her fingers unconsciously flew to her face to be passed furtively over the suspected member. "And she always makes herself so entirely charming she doesn't seem to be moody one could not imagine her ever being er rude.

cess she wouldn't expect the perfect man to waste time in admiring a mere woman a frail, impulsive, whimsical woman. The perfect man, my dear, would probably at least possibly be the center of attraction himself. I can imagine that his wife would occupy the subordinate position of second fiddle." Elberta sat quietly stroking her nost with her finger, evidently deeply absorbed in thought "John do you think my nose is verj large?" she asked timidly, almost humbly. "Oh, I have seen a few larger," de clared Mr. Terhune airily. It is hard to have one's sensitive point so negligently handled, and the girl looked at him in grieved surprise. "I had no idea you were so disagreeably critical. Of course I never thought I was a beauty, but I can't help the size of my nose." "Of course you can't," consolingly. "Nobody can blame you for It," he declared piously. "We should not blame people for their misfortunes. We should sympathize." She looked at him a second, tears of mortification In her eyes. "You arecruel," she said in muffled tones from the depth of the red pillow where she burled her face. Mr. Terhune without her eyes upon him permitted a look of satisfaction to creep over his face. "Wouldn't it be awful to live In the same house with a man so perfect himself that he never noticed your eyes or'balr, who perhaps had so perfect a nose that he would make disagreeable comparisons of your ownerfeatures?" he suggested wickedly. A slight sob from the red cushion and an unhappy tapping on the floor by the small slippered foot nearest him was the only response. "Wouldn't you rather have a well, just a plain everyday man who thought you altogether charming?" He dared to put his hand on the mass of fluffy hair that showed off well on the red cushion. He had never been so daring before, and the sobs stopped in amazement. "He he might like Miss Deland's type too. I haven't a profile like hers," came the muffled tones. "Pshaw!" said Mr. Terhune, with a fine flow of scorn. "She Is always so exactly the same that she would soon grow monotonous." And he deftly lifted the bowed head to hl3 shoulder. "But is my nose so very large?" came a whisper from his shoulder. You dear,". said the plain, everydav man enthusiastically, "there's not in the whole world a more charming feature."
