MARKETS

CORN PRICES JUMP ON CHICAGO MART CHICAGO. Feb. 18. Corn today showed continued strength, notwithstanding that receipts had materially increased. According to some leadera, the action of tbe market simply illustrated the extent of the demand. Sellers were scarce. After opening l-4c higher with March tot quoted and May $1-25 7-8, prices hardened a little more and then underwent a slight reaction. Active commission house buying advanced oats to new high price levels for the season. At first, however, the markets displayed some weakness ow ing to assertions that cars to make 4 shipments east could not be obtained. Opening figures, which varied from the same as Saturday's close to l-2c down, with May S3 1-5 to 85 1-2, were followed by a rapid upturn. Higher quotations on hogs gave strength to provisions Very little was for rale until a good advance had been established. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO, Feb. 18.

Revelations of a . Wife

IS MADGE "BLIND"? I awoke Sunday morning with the sensation of something heavy hanging over my head. It was not yet daylight and I lay for several minutes trying to remember what it was that was oppressing me. Then it came to me. This was the day when Jack was to land in New York after a year's absence. I had three things to do during the day, each of which held possibilities of unpleasantness. I must telephone Jack at his old hotel, for he would not know where to find me. I dreaded immeasurably to do this with the possibility of Dicky in the room. I must leave Dicky to go to Lillian Gale's dinner alone while I dined with Jack. I must break the news to Jack that during hsi year's absence I had meti and married Dicky. By a tacit understanding neither Dicky nor I had mentioned Jack's coming since Wednesday, when he had made the scene about it before Lillian. He had been repentant then for his outburst, but I feared another when I should telephone Jack. However, it would be hours before Jack would reach the old-fashioned I little hotel in the Greenwich "Village" section, where he had kept, rooms for years. I turned over and tried to go to sleep again. But I found it an impossible feat. I tossed and turned until the first rays of sunlight came through my window, and I heard Katie stirring in the kitchen. Then a possibility of which, queerly enough, I had not thought of before, made me spring from my bed, shiveringly shut the window, and dress rapidly. The rooms were so cold I was glad to omit my usual shower. In -lis letter Jack asked me to telephone to his "old diggings," knowing the possibility that I might have left my boardinghouse. But the thought had never struck me before that he might telephone Mrs. Stewart, with whom my mother and I had lived for so long, to find out if I were still there. ! If he did so she would of course, tell him that I had married while he was away. Off To Mrs. Stewart's In pome way I must get word to Mrs. Stewart not to tell Jack that I was married. I could not telephone such a message to her. Perhaps if I hurried I could get to her home and back before Dicky awakened. On Sundays it is his custom to sleep late. I went to the kitchen, where Katie looked at me in astonishment. She had just returned from the early service which she attended every Sunday morning. . "You seeck.

For Adornment and Investment Minute differences in color, cutting, brilliancy and clearness affect the value of a diamond to such a degree that its purchase by one without experience is most difficult and the selection, for the most part, must be in many cases left to the dealer. For this reason it is all important that your dealer must not only be thoroughly competent to judge stones, but must be scrupulously conscientious as well. Then for the question From whom shall I buy my diamond, is one of great importance. In order for you to buy to the best possible advantage your dealer must be experienced and reliable; must be in a position to buy his stock at prices that enable him to sell reasonably and be able to judge values to the minutest degree. For the above reason it is evident that in Richmond, Jenkins & Co. stand out pre-eminently as the logical place for you to come for a diamond as we have the reputation, the experience and the buying power. The Diamond Shop offers you a superior range of selections at from $10 to $1,000.

asked anxiously. "You up so early." j "No, Katie, but I have an errand to which 1 must attend this morning. .1 think I shall be back before Mr. Graham wakens. If he should inquire for me, tell him I have gone for a walk and will be back soon." "All right. I feex breakfast right away." "I only want coffee and a roll. Katie." "Dot foolish talk," Katie returned. "I feex nice breakfast, you eat." Somehow, Katie's matter-of f act brusqueness relieved the tension of my nerves. I did up my hair, bathed my face and hands and finished dressing, then went to the dining room where Katie had laid my place.

I ate a very satisfactory breakfast. Then putting on my outer garments, I let myself quietly out of the front door and walked swiftly to the nearest station of the subway. I had quite a long journey before me. Mrs. Stewart, in whose home my mother and I had boarded for so many years, lived in a rambling big house in a quiet section of Brooklyn, near Prospect Park. I left the subway at Brooklyn Bridge, then boarded an elevated train which would take me within three blocks of the old place. As I walked those three blocks memories cf my mother and of the quiet years we had lived in the house to which 1 was hastening came thick and fast. I felt a guilty little pang that I had not once gone to see my old landlady since my marriage. I felt It still more strongly when the maid having admitted me, I found Mrs. Stewart in
