New York, Nov. 25. Along with
an advancing wheat market today
for both stocks and bonds, the
weekly federal rerve report showed
further rise of 1-2 of 1 per cent
in the reserve ratio, to the highest
of the year. Gold reserves increased
lll.3O0.0UU and although the total
of rediscounts .expanded btightly,
further reduction of J'.JOO.OOO iu
reserve note circulation brought
that account to the lowest figure
since September 27, 1918.
Today's bond market continued
the upward movement of prices on
targe transactions, the day's advanc
es once more occurring in United
States war loans, in European se
curities and in some railway and
imlustrul bonds. A curious incident,
the public offering at 86 1-2 of the
unsold portion of the French city
loans on the , very day when the
market was paying 91 for outstand
ing bonds of the same issues, did
not affect the general market,

It naturally brought down the market

(4ftUu. frw. TeeUrda.)
It was very evident during dinner
that Tommy was not particularly
friendly with Foster; he hardly spoke
to him, and when he did it was either
to contradict something he had said,
or to raise an argument about it.
Foster took it all good-naturedly;
he addressed most ot hit conversa
tion to Anne.
"So there will be a wedding in
Somerton soon, I t oppose r" he said,
turning pointedly to the Fortune
Hunter. "It will be quite ait event
in our sleepy village,"
The Fortune Hunter looked quick,
ly down at Anne, and waa surprised
to see the distress in her face.
"I don't know that there will he a
wedding in Somerton at all," he
answered coolly, "I iituch prefer
the idea of going to Loudon myself.
I liate a lot of fins."
Mr. Harding broke in agitatedly.
"But, my dear boy, surely you're not
going to deny us the little pleasure
down here. Why, gracious me, I've
planned it all in my mind I've even
jotted down notes of the speech I
shall make.''
"Oh, uncle!" said Anne, laughing.
Tommy laughed too.
"Uncle loves a fuss in the village,"
he said. "Don't you have it, John;
I'd hate it myself. Clear off to
London by the first train, that's what
I would do, and get fixed up wit!)
nobody in the church."
"I don't see why Ve need talk
about it, when there s nothing at ail
arranged," Anne said rather con.
strainedly. "And, anyway, there
seems to be plenty of time," she add
ed under her breath, so that only
the Fortune Hunter beside her
caught the words.
"Plenty of timel" he echoed.
"What do you mean?"
Iter hps curved into a bitter little
smile. .
"Only that you seem to have
quite forgotten what we arranged
long before you came home," she
answered, then she turned pointedly
from him aiitt spoke to Geoffry ros
ter. The Fortune Hunter clenched his
hands: he hated the man. He hated
the way in which he looked at'Anne
the way he addressed her by her
Christian name. Confound the lei
low's impertinence. Then he almost
laughed at himself; what right had
he to be angry, he who was a vaga
bond impostor?
After dinner he deliberately stayed
at the table with Mr. Jlardmg, and
did not even glance Annes way
when he saw Foster follow her from
the room; but his heart was racing
with passionate jealousy snd indig
nation so that he could hardly steady
his voice to reply to Mr, Harding's
remarks.
"It was only a joke, John, all that
nonsense about your wedding," he
said cheerily. "You must please
yourself, of course, and then you
will please me. Anne shall have
everything just as she wishes."
"You are very good, sir."
"Not at all, I love Anne; she has
been everything to me since she
came to live here, "and I've always
tried to do my best for her." He
paused and knocked the ashes from
his cigar. "It would break my heart
if anything happened now to spoil
her life," he added deliberately.
"She's not like an ordinary wom
an, hut you know that, John. I don't
need to tell you. There's not ont
woman in thousand who would
have stood by you as she did, bless
her, and not because there were no
other men wanting her, mind you.
Why Foster there humph 1 But of
course you know."
"Yes."
"And she's not very young, ith.
er," Mr. Harding went on after a
moment. "Eight and 20; though she
doesn't look it, does she?"
"Eight and 20?" the Fortune
Hunter echoed. Why I he stopped
abruptly. "Yes, of course," he add
ed.
"She was 18 when you went
away," Mr. Harding said, his eyes
fixed on the young man's face.
"Yes, she was 18," the Fortune
Hunter echoed dully.
"So you're neither of you chil
dren," the old man went on, "though j
the still seems a child to me. "YoiJ
are how old, John?"
"I shall be 30 in December,"
' There was a little silence, and
a queer gleam shot into Mr, Hard
ing's eyes, then he put down he
stump of his cigar and rose,
"Well, shall we join the otfiers,
they're in the drawing room, J ex
pect?" They crossed the hall together,
but though the lights were on in the
drawing room, the room was empty.
The long French window which
led into the garden stood wide open
and the soft muslin curtains were
floating in and out on the evening
breeze.
"In the garden, I expect." Mr.
Harding said, "I've got some let
ters to write, so you'll excuse me,
I'm sure you'll find Anne in the
garden."
"Yes thanks."
But the Fortune Hunter made no
effort to find her; he wandered
restlessly around the room, staring
aimlessly at the pictures and orna
ment. He hated Foster as he had never
hated anyone in his life before; he
was jealous of his wealth and pos
sessions; he would have given ' his
30ul at that moment had it been
possible for him to go ta Anne and
say honestly, as he longed to say
whenever they were together: : "I
love you with all my heart and
soul. Marry me and come away
with me."
. But he had nothing to offer ter,
not even a name. A bitter sigh shook
him. He had sown his wild oats, and
now he was reaping their harvest;
he had looked upon life as a comedy
through which one might laugh and
jest, and suddenly it had turned into
a tragedy.
And ont there in the moonlit gar
den, Anne walked with Geoffry
Foster. -
Would she some day have mar
ried him if he had never come to
Somerton?
Would she marry him now if she
ever knew that the man who had
died in the woods was the man for
whom she bad wasted the best years
of her life? Such questions were al
ways torturing him, and he could
find no answer to them.
Tommy thrust his head round the
door. 'Hollo! where are the others?"
"I don't know; in the garden, I
wa a note of constraint in
Tommy winked sympathetically,
the Fortune Hunter's voice, and
"I should go and send Foster
bout his business?" he said.
1) disappeared before there was
time (or a reply, and the Fortune
Hunter walked over to the window,
There he caught a glimpse of a
white scarf close by, and heard the
stifled sound of sobbing, wa it?
The blood leapt angrily in hit
veins. If Anne were crying-
He took a quick step forward, and
then stopped, as her voice tame to
him clearly through the still nir.
"It's because I'm unhappy. Oh,
Geoffry, you don't know how un
happy. The Fortune Hunter caught his
breath hard; the blond rushed to his
face in a burning title.
"Uuhappyl"
?H could say that to this man
For a moment the shadowy garden
swain red before the Fortune Hunt
er's eyes; he forgot everything but
that he loved Anne with every beat
of his unhappy heart, as he went
down the steps and across the lawn
to where her white scarf gleamed.
Quietly as the Fortune Hunter
rrossed the lawn, GeotTry Foster
must have heard him coming, for he
turned composedly enough to meet
him.
"Hullo t I was jut coming to
hunt you up. Has Mr. Harding been
preaching higher ethics to you?"
The Fortune Hunter made no
answer; he walked past him to
where Anne was standing, his voice
was rough when he spoke to her.
"You'll catch cold; it's madness
being out here without a cloak;
please come back to the house."
She looked up at him. "I am
quite warm; I would rather stay in
the garden."
There wa a touch of antagonism
In her voice. The Fortune Hunter
turned to Foster,
"Perhaps you, will kindly fetch
Miss Harding a cloak.', His voice
was a command, and, with a slight
shrug of the shoulder, Foster turned
on hts heel.

CHAPTER I.
A Terrible Person.
The rats and the mice thought
that Miss Kitty I'at was a terrible
person. She was altogether too fond
of hunting them. They agreed,
however, that in one way it was
pleasant to have her about the
farmhouse. When she washed her
face, while sitting on the clour-
tteps, they knew so they said
that it was going to rain. An. I then
Mrs. Rat never would let hrr hus
band leave home without taking ii
umbrella.
As a rule Miss Kitty Cat tiidn't
Tbe rats and the mice thoujht tha.t
AUm Kittg Cat wa a terrible person,
look at all frightful. Almost always
ihe appeared quite unruffled, go
ing about li'r business in a quiet
way and making no fus ovtr any
thing. Of course, when old dog
hport chased and cornered her.
she was quite' a different sort of
creature. Then she arched her back,
puffed her tail out to twice its usu
al size and spit fierctly at Spot.
He learned not to get within reach
of her sharp claws, when she be
haved in that fashion. For old Spot
had a tender nose. And no one knew
it better than Miss Kitty Cat.
Around the farmhouse she was
politeness herself when there was
anybody to observe her. If her
meals were late she neve." clamored,
as Johnnie Ureen sometimes did.
To be sure, she might remind Mrs.
Green gently, by plaintive mew.
ing, that she had not had her sau
cer of milk. But she was always
careful not to he rude-about it. And
though Miss Kitty liked a warm
place in winter, she never crowded
anybody else away from the. fire.
She crept under the kitchen, range,
where no one else cared to sit. And
there she would doze by the hour
especially after she had enjoyed a
Hearty meal.-
On summer nights, however,
when she loved to hunt out of
doors. Miss Kitty Cat was far from
appearing sleepy. She roamed about
the fields, or crept through the tree
tops with a ste.lthy tread and a
tigerish working of her tail. Folk
smajler than Miss Kitty never cared
to meet her at such times. They
knew that she would sprint? upon
them if she had a chance. So they
took good care to keep out of her
way. And if they caught sight of
her when she had her hunting man
ner, they always gave the alarm in
their own fashion, warning their
friends to beware of the monster
Miss Kitty Cat, because she was
abroad, and in a dangerous mood.
lolinnie Oreen like Miss Kilty,
Often she would come to him
and rub against h'm and purr, fair
ly begging hint to stroke her back.
Unless . he pulled her tail at such
times she kept her claws carefully
out of sight and basked under John-
mes pettmsr.
If he had been her size and she
had been his, Miss Kitty Cat might
not have been so harmless. bhe
might have played with Johnnie as
she sometimes played with a mouse.
But JkOhnnie Oreen never stopped to

Reopen in Near Future
Watsenbuig. Colo., Nov. 2$. (Ry
The Attociated rrt.) Ptibi!ily
that the steel mill of the Colorado
Furl and Iron company near I'urhlo
would reopen with nearly a full force
in the near future was indicated to
day by Superintendent t'ietchel of the
Waltrn Coal mine, operated by the
company.
Getchel declared today found the
largest force of diggers in the com
pauy's mines in southern Colorado
since the start of the strike against
a reduct'on of wages. More than
1.000 miner were at work in mines
arTectrd by the strike in the 1-as
Animas and Huerfano county dis
tricts, Mr. Getchel said, and under
reduced wages coal ran be laid down
at the mines approximately $1 a ton
cheaper. Much of the coal from the
southern mines is used at the com
pany's steel plant.
"This means that steel can be pro
duced about $4 a ton cheaper and
the company should be able to go
and get some business," said Mr.
Getchel.
