laughed and shook hands with Rev.
Wlllium Calvert and made Virginia’s
peace all In the same breath.
"Don’t apologize for Miss Virginia.
Mrs. Curteret. We were very good
friends in Boston, chiefly, I think, be-
cause I never objected when she want-
ed to—er—to take a rise out of me."
Then to Virginia: ”1 hope I don’t in-
trude?"
"Not in the least. Didn't I Just say
you were good to come? Uncle Somer-
ville tells us we are passing through
the famous Golden Belt, whatever that
may be—and recommends an easy-
chair and a window. But I haven’t
seen anything but stubble-fields—dis-
mally wet stubble-fields at that. Won’t
you sit down and help me watch them
go by?”
Adams placed a chair for her, and
found one for himself. •
’“Uncle Somerville’—am I to have
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Somer-
ville Darrah?”
Miss Virginia's look was non-com-
mittal.
"Quien sabe?" she queried, airing her
one Westernism before she was fair-
ly in the longitude of It. “Uncle Som-
erville is a law unto himself. He had
a lot of telegrams and things at Kan-
sas City, and he is locked in his den
with Mr. Jastrow. dictating answers by
the dozen, 1 suppose."
”Oh, these industry colonels!” said
Adams. "Don’t their tolllngs make
you ache in sheer sympathy some-
times?"
"No, indeed,” was the prompt re-
joinder; "| envy them. It must be
fine to have large things to do, and
to be able to do them."
"Degenerate scion of a noble race!"
Jested Adams. "What ancient Carteret
of them all would have compromised
with the necessities by becoming a
captain of Industry?”
"It wasn’t their metier or the metier
of their times," said Miss Virginia
with conviction. "They were sword-
soldiers merely because that was the
only way a strong man could conquer
in those days. Now It is different, and
a strong man fights quite as nobly in
another field—and deserves quite as
much honor.”
"Think so? I don't agree with you
—as to the fighting, I mean. I like
to take things easy. A good club, a
choice of decent theaters, the society
of a few charming women like—"
She broke him with a mocking laugh.
\ ou were born a good many cen-
turies too late, Mr. Adams; you would
have fitted so beautifully Into de-
cadent Rome."
“No — thanks. Twentieth-century
America, with the commercial frenzy
taken out of it, is good enough
for me. I was telling Winton a little
while ago—"
"Your friend of the Kansas City sta-
tion platform?" she interrupted
"Mightn’t you introduce us a little less
Informally?"
"Beg pardon. I’m sure—yours and
Jack’s: Mr. John Winton, . o» New
York and the world at large, familiarly
known to his Intimates—and they
are precious few—as Jack W.’ As I
was about to say—"
But she seemed to find a malicious
satisfaction In breaking in upon him.
’’ ‘Mr. John Winton;’ It’s a pretty
name, as names go. but it Isn’t us

The Bostonian avenged himself for
the Interruption at Wlnton’s expense.
"So much for your woman's intui-
tion.” he laughed. ’Speaking of idlers,
there is your man to the dotting of the
*1;' a dilettante raised to the nth
power."
Miss Carteret’s short upper lip
curled In undisguised scorn.
"I like men who do things." she as-
serted. with pointed emphasiR; where-
upon the talk drifted eastward to Bos-
ton. and Winton was ignored until
Virginia, having exhausted the rem-
iniscent vein, said: "You are going on
through to Denver?”
"To Denver and beyond.” was the
reply. "Winton has a notion of hi-
bernating In the mountains—fancy It;
in the dead of winter!—and he has
persuaded me to go along. He sketches

"Oh, so he is an artist?" said Vir-
ginia. with interest newly aroused.
"No." said Adams, gloomily, -he

| of this rush, and so were the mem-
bers of Mr. Bomervilje Darrah’s party,
j In the seating the party was sepa-
rated. as room at the crowded tables
I could be found; and Miss Virginia's
fate gave her the unoccupied seat at
one of the duet tables, opposite a
young man with steadfast gray eyes
and a Van Dyck beard.
Winton was equal to the emergency,
or thought he was. Adams was
still within call, and he beckoned him,
meaning to propose an exchange of
seats. But the Bostonian misunder-
stood willfully.
"Most happy, I’m sure,” he said,
coming instantly to the rescue. "Miss
Carteret, my friend signals his di-
lemma. May I present him?”
Virginia smiled und gave the re-
quired permission in a word. But for
Winton self-possession flew shrieking.
"Ah—er—I hope you know Mr.
Adams well enough to make allow-
ances for his—for his—” He broke
down piteously and she had to come to
his assistance.
"For his imagination?” she suggest-
ed. "I do, indeed; we are quite old
friends.”
Here was "well enough,” but Wil-
ton was a man and could not let It
alone.
“I should be very sorry to have you
think for a moment that I would—er
"I—I beg your pardon,” he stam-
mered, with the inflection which takes
its pitch from blank bewilderment.
Miss Virginia was happy. Dilettante

of the world as well; but, to use Rev-
erend Billy's phrase, she could make

"I beg yours. I’m sure," she said, de-
murely. "I didn’t know it was a craft

Winton looked across the aisle to
the table wheie the technologian was
sitting opposite a square-shouldered,
ruddy-faced gentleman with fiery eyes
and fierce white mustache, and shook
a figurative fist.
"I’d like to know what Adams has
been telling you," he said. "Sketch

that would be decidedly original, to
say the least of It And 1 think I
have never done an original thing in
all my life."
For a single instant the brown eyes
looked their pity for him; generic pity
It was, of the kind that mounting
souls bestow upon the stagnant. But
the subconscious lover In Winton made
It personal to him, and it was the
lover who spoke when he went on.
"That Is a damaging admission, is
it not? I am sorry to have to make it
—to have to confirm your poor opinion
of me."
"Did I say anything like that?" she
protested.
"Not in words; but your eyes said
it, and I know you have been think-
ing it all along. Don’t ask me how I
know It; I couldn’t explain it if I
should try. But you have been pity-
ing me, in a way—you know you
■ have.”
The brown eyes were downcast,

as she was, Virginia Carteret was
finding it a new and singular experi-
ence to have a man tell her baldly at
their first meeting that he had read her

! not flinch or go back.
! “There is so much to be done in the
world, and so few to do the work,"
! she pleaded in extenuation.
"And Adams has told you that I am
not one of.the few? It is true enough
' to hurt."
She looked him fairly In the eyes.
"What is lacking, Mr. Winton—the
I spur?"
"Possibly,” he rejoined. "There is no
one near enough to care, or to say:
’Well done!’”
"How can you tell?” she questioned,
musingly. "It Is not always permitted
to us to hear ‘the plaudits *or the
hisses—happily, I think. Yet there are

Reports come from the corn dis-

Those who are advocating the ereo-
tion and operation of huge central oil
mills are making a mistake. It is the
sort of centralizing that we have been
fighting all ourlives. The seed would
have to be carried Tong distances to
the central mill, and then the meal,
cake and other products would have
to be reshlpped long distances tor

let them co-operate, and not cut each

ods.
Go into this warehouse business
Just as you would if you were going
to run It exclusively for j ourself.
Don’t be misled Into an essential,
but the mistake of supposing that
a warehouse is all you want. It Is an | the land a«a,n-
its sensible management is also ,i
prime essential. It will tase money,
and a whole lot. of It to handle the
cotton crop. But don't be fool enough
to think that it will take any more
to handle a farmer’s bale of cotton
that It will take to handle a specula-
tor’s bale. It will take no more mon
>ey to handle the crop on the ware-
house plan than It will titke on the
old plan of farming it out to the spec-
ulators. Indeed, it will not take as
much, because farmers will be their
own capitalists, and will leave even
more money in the banks for the cot-
ton than usual. There will be no
scarcity of money to handle the crop.
There are oodles of money lying idle
in the banks that would like to get
itself wrapped up In nice new cotton
graded about two or three grades be-
low what It ought to be.
You have noticed that the cotton
bears are getting In some fine work
in the early reducion of the price of
the staple. They have sent reports
all over the world that there is one
of the largest crops ever raised now-
growing, and that the outlook for a
great surplus Is certain. Under these
reports, cotton has gone to the lowesr
price it has reached in a year. They
forgot to say that next year the de-
mand for the staple will be the larg-
est ever known, but it will. The de-
mand Is growing day by day, and all
the experiments that have been made
all over the world to raise cotton by
nearly every government have prov-
en failures. Put ’er in the warehouse
until the manufacturer wants it, and
let the speculator get In to some oth-
er line of business. It won’t spoil in
the warehouse. Ten million bales of
cotton sold at 12 cents beats thirteen
million bales sold at seven cents. It
does not take a man with much sense
to figure out what to do under these
circumstances, and it will take only
the effort to make the conditions. Co-

HOLDING HIS OVERCOAT.
The coffee had been served, and
Winton sat thoughtfully stirring the
lump of sugar in his cup. Miss Car-
teret was not having a monopoly of
the new experiences. For instance,
it had never before happened to John
Winton to have a woman, young,
charming, and altogether lovable, read
him a lesson out of the book of the
overcomers.
He smiled Inwardly -and wondered
what she would say If she could know
to what battle-field the drumming
wheels of the "Limited" were speeding
him. Would she be loyal to her men-
torship and tell him he must win, at
whatever the cost to Mr. Somerville
an.
Darrah and his business associates?
Or would she, woman-like, be her
uncle’s partisan and write one John
Winton down in her blackest book for
daring to oppose the Rajah?
He assured himself It would make
no jot of difference if he knew. He
had a thing to do, and he was pur-
posed to do it strenuously, Inflexibly.
Yet in the inmost chamber of his
heart, where the barbarous ego stands
unabashed and Isolate and recklessly
contemptuous of ♦he moralities minor
and major he saw the birth of an In-
fluence which must henceforth be des-
perately reckoned with.
Given a name, this new-born factor
was love; love barely awakened, and
yet no more than a masterful desire
to stund well in the eye of one worn- i
an. None the less, he saw the possi-
bilities; that a time might come when
this woman would have the power to
Intervene; would make him hold his I
hand In the business affair at the

a more hopeless involvement ahead;

"Oh, please! ’ she protested, In mock
humility. "Do leave my vanity Just
the tiniest little cranny to creep out
of, Mr. Winton. I’ll promise to be
good and not bore you.too desperately."
At this, as you would imagine, the
pit of utter self-abasement yawned for
Winton, and he plunged headlong,
holding the bill-of-fare wrong side up
when the waiter asked for his dinner
order, and otherwise demeaning him-
self like a man taken at a hopeless dis-
advantage. But she had pity on him.
"But let’s ignore Mr. Adams," she

That the reason some men are so
loud-mouthed and noisy at a State
Convention is that their home people
won’t listen to them, so they simply
must work off extra steam when they
get away from home, or "bust."
That the delegate who is always on
the floor or struggling to get recogni
tion, ought to be brained with a corn
stalk or a rotten banana.
That the delegate who expects to

Speed the day when the farmer, like
the manufacturer, will fix the price
on his product, and no more put it

Mutual self-interest is the tie which

The manufacturer doesn’t ask er-
