“I dunno. ma'am. What they call
hero wot.-hip, 1 guess. Just like I've
cot some several pictures of Harold
•Massing?r. that man who play* cave
man in the movies! My, but he's
handsome!"
"And so Miss Austin burned a pho
to^raph of John Waring .''
"Yes, ma'am. And you know they're
kmda hard to burn. Anyways, she
w‘a« a kneelin' hy the fireplace an' the
picture was smokin' like everything.
",'Lcnime help you. miss.' I says, as
pr-lite as could lie—"and. watcha
think, she snatched l>ack. and says.
'You lenime alone, (let out aliero!'
or somethin' like that. Oh, she was
mad all right."
“She haH a high temper, hasn't
she?"
"Yea'm. there's no denytn' she has.
Then again, she's sweet as pie. and
nice an’ gentle. She's a queer
makeup, I will say." ,
“There, faille, that will do; don't
gossip,” and Mis* Bascom. sure she
had learned all the maid had to tell,
went downstairs to tell It to Mrs.
Adams.
The landlady seemed less receptive
than usual, being still mindful of her
husband ? admonitions. Hut Miss Bas
corn's story of the burned photograph
roused her curiosity to highest pitch.
“There's something queer about
that girl,” Mrs. Adams opined, and
the other mote than agreed.
“Let's go up and talk to her." Miss
Bascom suggested, and after a mo
ment's hesitation, Mrs. Adams went
The landlady tapped lightly at the
door, but there was no response.
“fio right in." the other whispered,
and go in thoy did.
Mi: s Mystery lay on the rotl'li. her |
eyes closed, tier checks si 111 wet With
tears. She did not move, and after a
moment's glance to assure herself the
girl wan sound asleep, Miss Bascom
audaciously opened 013c of the small
top drawers of the dresser.
Mrs. Adams gasped, and frantically
m*de motions of remonstrance, hut
swTftlv fingering among the veils and
handkerchiefs. Miss Bascom drew out
a Urga roll of hills, held by an elastic
band.
Anita Austin's eyes flew open, and
after one staring glance at the intru
slve woman, she jumped from the
couch and flew at her like a small
hut very active tiger.
"How dare you!” she cried, snatch
ing the money from Miss Bascotq's
hand, even ns that elated person was
unrolling* it. '
And from inside the roll, down on
the painted floor, fell a ruby sUckptp.
Mrs. Adfms fell limply into a chair,
her round eyes starihg in horror.
Miss Bascom had taken upon her
self the role of dictator and with an
accusing finger pointed at Miss Mys
tery. she said:
"What have you to say for your
self?"
"Nothing," repiio-" Anita Austin. ;
coolly, "except to insist that you leave .
my'room.'.’ , , 1
"Leave your room. Indeed. I ant
only too giad to! And I know w here
to go. too." I
Miss Bascom's determined all' as she
strode out of the door ggvr a hint of
her desperate Intention and within
five minutes she was out on the road
toward the village.
Ml*. Adame, still almost speechless
with Burp rise and dismay, looked sor
rowfully si Anita. Something in the
girl* face stayed the kindly words
Hie woman meant to say, anil, in
stead, she broke out: .. .....
■'Y*U must leave this house! W
are you anyway? A thief—and a
murderess?'’
••Oh: Don’t:* Anita piA up her
hand as If tq ward off a physical
''''"Then, as If thd cruel words had
stung her to a quickened sense of her
own danger, she cried, piteously:
"Oh. Mrs. Adams, help me—protect,
me—won't you? I don t know what ,
to do—I'm all alone—so alone—— I
She sank Into a chair and buried
her face In her hands. I
Esther Adams was uncertain what ,
course to pursue. Should she protect i
this guilty girl, of whom she really j
1;nAw nothing, or should she dismiss j
her at once from her bouse, in the
interests of her other hoarders, who
mu$t he considered?
Surely, her first duly was to the
others—the people she had known ao
long, and who looked upon her house
as a home and a safeguard.
“You must go." she said, though
her voice Wavered as she saw the pa
llittlc face Anita raised to look at her.
"Oh n<*>: Don’t send me away.
Where could 1 go? Even the Inn
people wouldn't take me! 1
"Of course they wouldn't. On
hohie: HgvVn't you a home? Who
are you. anyway? But 1 don’t care
who you arc—you must get out of this
house today—this morning. Do you
hear?" ’
Meantime Miss Bascom. on her vir
tuoiis errand, had trotted quickly to
the office of the prosecuting district
attorney.
There, however, sue was told that
Mr. C’rav was over at the Waring
house. ar<\ she concluded to go there
Nor did this displease her. She, longed
io he In the limelight, and the tale
she had to tell would surely give her
the right to he there.
Mrs. Peyton received her coldly, for
the two wer# not friends. _
"I came to seei Mr. Cray. Miss
Bascom announced. “on important
business. , , ,
“Oh, very well. the housekeeper
returned, "take a seat and I'll ask
"
importance of her news. *
The attorney welcomed her cor
dially. for he saw at once that she
brought news of value.
Ami. wcprfc^scd 1° emphatic Ian
guage. and iny-rspersed with many
end unfavorable personal opinions
Idf.a Bascom told of the incident-of
finding the money and the ruby in
Miss Austin's bureau drawer
••Astonishing:” commented Cray.
•AVho is she?"
“Nobody knows, that's the queer
part, We call her Miss Mystery.'
“Where did she corn* from?”
■t"fCobody know s. She just ap-»
peered."
YDon't the Adams know
i "No. they don't.” .
: “A young girl, you say?
"She appears to ho very young—
“Did she know I>r waring?
“How do I know? She came over
io this house late Sunday night—for
J saw hei-"
“flood heavens'. Are vou sure.’
“Well. It was fairly light, with the
inibn. and the snow all over the
ground, vou know, and I saw hr-r. all
wrapped up in her fur coat, sneaking
away from the house-" j
“How late?"
••Oh—after everybody had gone up
stairs and the lights were all out at
the Adamses."
"Vou saw her come back?
"No: I didn’t think much about it
at the time—she's a crazy piece any
way—and ”
"Wliat do you mean by a crazy
piece?”
"Why. she's queer —not like other
folks. She won't have anything to
do with ally of us over there-"
“That doesn’t make her out crazy.
Miss Bascom struggled Impatiently.
"I don't mean insane or demented. I
only mean sly and secretive. ^ She
never speaks to anybody the' table
.—.uni though she makes eyes at Bul
lion Lockwood, .-he snubs Mr. Tyler,
who is just as good a voting man.
. They both admire her—anybody can
sec that, but she treats them like
1 the dust under her feet.”
"Not an adventuress, then?”
"I don't know. But 1 do know
! she's a thief—or how dl< she get that
I money and the ruby?” a
"Perhaps Dr. Waring gave Them
| to her?”
“Then she is a wrong one! Why
should he give a strange girl such
i things?"
"If lie was in love with her-”
“Now. look Imre, Mr. Cray, do try
I to sflow ordinary common sense! Dr.
Waring whs about to marry Mrs.
| Bates, a sweet, dear woman, of suit
aide age. Is he going to have a little
flibbertigibbet coming to see him late
at night, for any romantic reasons?"
Cray hesitated to speak his mind,
but he ruminated that lie had heard
f of such things, in the course of his
j life. Miss Bascom, lie thought, was
jan unsophisticated old maid, hut there
was certainly a new condition to be
investigated, and the case of Miss
Anita Austin must he carefully con
sidered.
“Now. Miss Bascom.'' he said dip
lomatically! “I'll have to ask yon to
keep this whole .natter quiet for a
time. You must see that we can’t
work successfully if we take the
whole town into our confidence. Or
even this entire household."
“Don’t ion try to bamboozle me,
Stephen Cray! I know your sort.
You want to keep this matter quiet
because you want to get that girl off
scotfree! I know you men! Just be
cause she has a pair of big, dark eyes
and a slim little shape you arc ready
to tilde her guilt and let her off easy.
I won't have it! That girl stole
those things, or else she got them
from poor John Waring in a way no
decent woman would-”
“What are you talking about, Liza
Bascom?”
Mrs. Peyton appeared in the door
way, and though she asked the ques
tion, It was fairly evident that she
knew the answer, and had been lis
tening.
"Yes,” she went on, “I’ve been lis
tening at the door, and I’m glad I
did. First of all. v won’t have Dr.
Waring's name traduced, and next, if
there's a girl implicated in the mat
ter. the whole truth about her has
got to come out! 1 know the girl, she j
was here Sunday afternoon, and a i
more brazen-faced, bold-mannered chit I
I never want to see!”
"She was here?” asked the bcwil- !
dered Cray. "You know her?"
“I know all I want to know of
her,” Mrs. Peyton declared. “Yes,
she was here—came over with Emilv
Bates and Pinky. Wouldn't, conde
scend to be really one of us, but just
acted offish and seemed to me about
half-witted.”
"Don't be silly," put in Miss T'.as
coui. "That's the last thing to say of
b$r! Whatever the girl may be, she's
got all her wits about her! I can see
that for myself.”
"Was Dr. Waring present when
Miss Austin was here?” asked Cray,
thinking hard.
"Yes,” replied Mrs. Peyton, “and
that's a strang thing. When he first
saw her—unexpectedly, you know—
he dropped him teacup."
"Because of the meeting?" asked
Cray.
"I don't know,” trie. Peyton said.
"He declared afterward lie had never
seen the girl before—but—oil—1 can't
believe she cumc back liere that
night!"
‘‘Of course she didn’t." Cray said.
"How could she get in. unless some
one admitted her.”
“There's the French window in the
study," Mrs. Peyton suggested, un
certainly. "Dr. Waring could have
let her in that way-”
Hell, he didn't" Miss Baseom de
clared. "Land T'\e known John
John Waring all my life, and he's not ]
the kind of man that, had anything I
to do with flirtatious young women."

Omaha Grain
Omaha. December 27.
Receipts at Omaha were only 90
curs of all kinds of grain, aa com
pared with 201 cars last year. Total
shipments were 116 cars, against 110
cars a year ago.
A much better demand was dis
, played in the loral market lor cash
grain today. Wheat was in good de
mand and the light offerings, us well
a a the carry-overs from yesterday
| were cleaned up early. Prices paid
for cash wheat were 1c to 2c higher
for the ordinary and 2c higher for
the dark. Corn sold lie to lc up.
Oats were ’4c higher. Rye was
quoted P.ic to 2c higher and barley
Vic up
Grain prices were higher today, due
largely to the bullish foreign news
and a better local cash demand for
all grains. Cables were sharply high
er and a good export business was
reported done overnight in both wheat
and - corn, but no quantities w ere
given out. Although there was con
siderable profit taking around the out
side prices, the markets nil dosed
around the highest of the day.

! isii foreign and domestic news, and
j while there was considerable opposi
tion at times, clue to protit taking cm
i resting orders, the close was at
! $1.26 1-2 to $1.26 3-4, the latter being
I the outside figure, with a net gain of
1 1 4c. Other deliveries were up
1 1-8<9'1 1 2c, with December loading.
Corn advanced 5-8(§1 1 ic. oats 1*8@
1 4c and rye 5-8o.
There was a material broadening in
the trade in wheat with heavy and
persistent buying by local traders and
strong commission houses. On an
early bulge to $1.26 for May resting
orders to sell were encountered and
It took considerable time to absorb
the offerings. A break to $1 25 3 8
ocurred later when the pit element
became overbought, but on all the
dips there ^as an excellent class of
buying and toward the last stop
orders wore caught making the final
bulge.

Tho southwestern news had considerable
effect upon the July.
Buying of December corn was of a bet- I
ter class than of late and it showed Jn-4
dependent strength, going to S*' over May'
against a fractional discount at tho fin

bullish than of late, with complaints of1

by longs early was readily absorbed, but
at 73c for May resting orders checked
the advance. Basi« In th„e cash market

Oats held within Tather narrow lim

some buying of futures, but trade on the
whole was largely of a local character.
Talk of a good export, demand for
rye had some effect on that market, but
cnflrmatlon of sales at the seaboard wera
difficult to obtain. In the main the mar

There was a general feeling that prioea
dor grains and cotton and securities are
to work higher In anticipation of a speedy
adjustment of reparation payments am!
that a basis will be reached where all
nations can get together on a plan that
will help to place business tho world

of higher cables to<|py and better for

"TWose in the trade who argue that
SSlCs of Manitoba wheat for export, have
no effect on our market forget on© most
important factor that ha.n Us affect on
our market.” said a trader. “All export

Broomhali, tbe English authority on

New York. Dec. 27. — If today's
I market were to wet the example for
what remains of the final week of
1922. the year-end would have to be
described as a period of purposeless
drift with slow' reaction from recent
prevailing tendencies, the only notice
able movement. On the Stock Ex
change the action of prices was con
fused and conflicting ali day, most
stocks, however, ending' below the
previous day's closings. Even In the
bond market, although prices, as a
rule, hold firm, there were numerous
fractional declines aud the foreign
exchange market was sit times dis
tinctly weak.
For this movement there was ivjj
very obvious reason; it appeared to
represent either readjustment of
minor speculative positions or else
tentative speculative selling. Neither
the money market nor the netvs <»f
the. day, nor any change in Wall
street sentiment, could bo plausibly
held to account for the action of the
markets.
Exchange ViOw^r,
Sterling exchango at one time lit the
day had declined a full cent. It recov
ered most of its loss. but the downward
reaction in French, Belgian. Italian and
Gorman, exchange, which was equally
considerable, was not recovered. This
w<aknesa might concelvfthly be ascribed
to the administration's attitude toward
Senator Borah’s proposal for t,kv United
States to summon au international coil
tferen<’e on Europe's economic trtubles
It seemed, at all events, to bo assumed
that the opposition expressed by Mr.
Lodge, much in the tonb of his discus
sions of <919, voiced the Whita lloune
feeling. On the. other hand, however, it
will -eanely b#* contended that tin* Borah
proposal had advanced tho market for
European exchange, which, in fact, baa
lately stood practically motionless.
Our November export of cotton was In
