"Why do you spoil things?" flhe pro- I
tested. "We had always been such
most excellent friends. And you must I
know you are not at all the sort of man
(or me to fall In love with."
It was not flattering*,'but the most excellent
friendship of which she spoke
relieved them of necessities for complllr.rnt
and merely banal courtesies.
Nevertheless he winced a little, albeit
he preserved an admirable composure.
"How was X, to know unless I asked
you?" he submitted.
"Why. of course a woman who writes
always makes her ideal man,.the hero
0( her books."
? Vou have written three books. Have
ynu a trio of Ideal heroes?"
She shook a petulant head.
-jt 1* always the same man," she
fald. "Of course I change the color ot
hu hair and his complexion, and his I
age and height, In order that my read- j
crs may not tire, but his intrinsic soul j
and character are always the same." I
"Have you?by; any chance-rmet
1,1m," he submitted?"this particular j
Intrinsic soul and character, In any particular
body and brain?"
He Fpoke with an assumption of coolness,
but the writing-table tilted suddenly
beneath his hand'.
"So 3orry," he murmured.
Not at all," she said. .
Then ?
"So, I have never met him," she
responded slowly, "or I suppose"?her
eyes were dreamy, her lips softened
Into a smile?"I suppose I should "
Site broke off short.
"You supposfe you would have married
him," he finished drily.
She half blushed. She avoided his
eyes.
"One never knows how foolish one
night, not be," she admitted.
"Thirf you are in. the running," he
aid. "You have not'registered some
tremendous vow to devote yourself,
Ihjdy.nnd brain, to your pen?"
"V.Miy. of course I have," she asserted
Indignantly. "You know perfectly well
I would not give up my work for any
man."
He shrugged a pair of broad and
muscular 6houlders. _
"I have always understood you to
say so," he returned, "but a minute
slnre you certainly implied?something
els?." ' . ..
"I was speaking of Ideals." she Insisted.
"As though I were likely to
xi;rri a ouj minivi ?i? me
"You are not." he said. He added
savagely, "I suspect you'd find him a
hn.nst of a prig if you were to."
Her lirows clouded. Her features
fell. "He Isn't really a prig," she
precated. "It is merely the limitation
of language if he appears so. You
can't guess how difficult it is to describe
a man in a book and give him
any virtues whatsoever without making
him appear detestable:"
He laughed a little?not that he was
ir. mood for laughter.
"The reason Is obvious," he said. "A
iran conspicuous for virtue In an abnormality.
You had better content
yourself with avenges." .. -f
"No; but speaking seriously," she Insisted,
"to write of a man being a good
man or a nice, character at once conjures
up in the mind of the reader a
person with a very long thin board and
or with milil hpnlcnnnt #>vfs
and dyspepsia, who at once ceases to
be Interesting."
He sent her one keen look. lie got
to his feet.
"In your books," he said, a trifle bitterly,
"I remember when n man tells a
woman Is considerate enough to be a
little decent to him. I don't remember
a single Instance In which she drifts into
Irrelevant talk about trifles."
"My writing Is not a trifle. And,
Jim, you know It's too absurd; T have
known you since I was so high," Indicating
the height with a pretty smiling
gesture. "I.have scarcely missed a day
for fifteen^years without being In your
company.; We are like brother and sister?we
are admirable friends; I can't
imagine life'without you. But to marry
you "
She rose and moved quickly after him,
as he strode mortified to the door.
She laid a hand upon one of hla
shoulders.
"Dear Jim," she said affectionately,
"believe me I am not ungrateful. I am
very, very fond of you."
"fou are very, very good," he retorted
primly, without turning, and was
gone.
"I think he might have kissed me,"
she complained indignantly. "I gave
him the opportunity of a nice, forgiving,
affectionate kiss. And he treated
the opportunity and me with contempt
I have a right' to be' very angry."
She returned.to.her desk. Her face
sobered. "I wonder if he really cares,"
?he murmured. After a minute, "If
only he were more subtle, and slimmer,
and not Quito bo muscular and goodhumored.
And If I hadn't known him
all my life!"
II.
For a week fihe did not see him, except
at a distance, and once at church
In the sober gray of morning sorvlee.
Then he called.
"I come to sny good-by," ho said. "I
Htart for the Rockies In the niornlnu.
I'm fjolng to do a hit of shooting."
"Oh. Jim," she said, "not really?"
"Keally."
"But how will I and the people manage
without their squlro?"
"Admirably, no doubt."
"<*>h, don't go," she pleaded. "I shall
mips you horribly."
j "You will get bravoly over that. And
there will always be "Wllmot on the
ihelf thefe."
"Ilow ridiculous you are; us though
Wllrnot could tnlk to tne, and come In
and chcer me when I havo the blues, or
do any of the nice thin#'* you do."
"Now you have started upon your
n?*w book you will have little enough
time to rnlns the nice things I havo
hcen in the habit of doing," he retorted,
'and they evidently have not made a
very deep Impression."

she said with a little laufth.

I other day," she added, In a lower
| voice, "only you know what a coldblooded,
braln-rldden person I am when
I am thinking out my characters. They
seem to be more real than real people,
and I manage to hurt real people's feelings."
"Oh, you were not very brutal?
merely candid. But I can't stop, Eunice.
I have a heap of things to see to.
I start In the morning."
"Jim, I can't bear you to go," she
cried, Impetuously.
He had moved up to her with a stride
so swift, so masterful, so full of finality,
that life seemed suddenly to tremble on
the edge of things.
She rose. Her hand upon the table
shnnlr fLmnnir hop ollna Thnv otnnrl
looking into one another's eyes.
Then he tool: her hand and held it for
a moment in a tight grip. A moment
later he was gone. Shy swept swiftly
after him, scarcely knowing what she
did. But the door had closed, and she
stopped short, staring at it.
"Now, how unkind! How unkind!"
she cried, "to go away as though we had
only Just been introduced!"
She was surprised to find her cheeks
wet. "Why, I believe I am crying," she
protested. "So absurd!"
Then she said in a louder voice and
with an air of challenge to the sound of
departing dogcart wheels, "Wilmot was
far too noble-hearted and kind merely
to wring a woman's hand as though he
were a thumbscrew and then march off
without a glance!"
But somehow a sickening sense overcame
her that she had r.o txste for Wll
nioi. 11 was Jim sne warned; Jim wno
hud left her?left her with ah atr of goins
straight away out of her life. The
grip of his Angers held hers still. Looking
down, she saw pink marks upon
thorn where the blocd which had fled
beneath his thumbscrew grasp now
flowed again.
She lifted the hand Impulsively and
kissed the tingling marks. She sat
down with a sudden sense of falntness.
Into her world of fancy and romance
and pleasing sentiment reality seemed
suddenly to have stridden with a brutal
step. The fanciful emotions she had
woven round her pen-and-paper heroes
had no place here. Face to face with It,
she found reality no pleasing fancy.
"But It is natural that I should feel
his yolng," she Insisted to herself. "He
is like a very dear brother."
She returned to her table. She had
been reading a page of her last novel, i
Some words caught her eyes. She ,fln-1
lsried the page. Then she thrust the
book from her with a shiver. Wilmot
hud stalked stagey and with sentimental
slmpe-rlngs across It. He had a
hundred pretty things to say to the
woman he left. For Wilmo? on that
page had left his woman.
The real man had walked out of lief
life, well-nigh wordless and without
klsslngs, carrying .with him all the
flimsy jjilken meshes" of her fanciful romance,
as one has seen a man entangle
his feet amid and snap the silken
threads of a woman's embroideries.
"Jim was perfectly right," she said regretfully
"Wllmot Is nothing but a detestable
prig. How could I ever have
Imagined him nice? I wonder the
critics didn't hold him up to public
scorn."
She returned t?p .book to its shelf.
With an impulse of anger she placed it
with Its title to the wall.
"I will take care the man in my new
book shall be a decent sort of rerson,"
she asserted.
III.
Six months "had passed, and Jim was
coming home. She had heard from him
that morning. He had written tho day
before leaving New York. He would be
at Wlldflold in three days. She read the
letter five times over. "Dear Jim," she
murmured. "How glad I shnll bo to see
unit ttga.ui, nnu 1 wonacr now ne win
like the new book."
Oddly enough, n parcel containing the
complimentary half do7,cn volumes of
her book It Is the etlquett? of publishers
to present to the author lay unopened
on the table. For, oddly enough, Jim's
letter had .stayed her eager hands going
out to open the wrappings.
The Joy of the author above his latest
book Is akin to the Joy of a mother's
llrst acquaintance with her baby. Perhaps
the mother's Joy Is greater, for, after
all, It would appear that calf boards
with even the gayest of gilt letterings
are somewhat less caressnble thnn baby
1 limbs and baby fingers, but the calf
boards and fresh Ink-perfumed leaves
may be said to run the lKiby clo^e!
Possibly nothing In the world, however,
would divert that mother's first
glance froni her baby, and Jim's letter
. diverted Eunice's attention 'from her
1 books, so we may take It that the au1
tlior's Joy Is one degree less keen than
, Is that of the mother.
And Jim's letter occupied the breaJc,
fast hour to such a point of absorption
that neither was breakfast eaten nor
the calf boards and spick and span letterings
examined.
"Now how glad I shall be to kmc him
again," she repeated above her untastod

she might discover from the mirror how
she waa looking.
The question had scarcely obtruded
Itself since Jim had left. She had been
far too absorbed In her took. She discovered
now, however, much to her chag'.in,
that she was looking her worst.
She was thin and pale, there were dark
rings round her lids, and her lips had
lost their color.
"What a fright lie will think me," she
decldeil,"and they say American women
are absolutely irresistible. Now that
book Is out of hand, I must really rosumo
regular exercise and rejnilar
meals. Dear old Jim; I wonder If he Is
marrlcd7 He doesn't speak of it." She
said this aloud, after the fa3hlon of
feminine self-deception. She remarked
It to the person in the glass, and was
proud to observe that tho person In tho
glass took the notion quite composedly
and with a smile. The person out of th2
glass was perfectly confident that.Jim
was not oven engaged. For, had this
been so, Jim or Jim's mother, with
whom she was always on excellent
forms, would certainly have mentioned
It
Eventually she undid tho brown-paper
wrappings of her complimentary volumes,
was dully disappointed with the
covcr, the paper, and the printing, detected
an error In spelling upon the first
page, fretted, wavered, finally approved,
and carried tho book triumphantly to
the garden, there to read It as nearly as
might be from the standpoint of an independent
critic.

all beside, skimming some parts, dwelling
upon others, reading all with the
freshness of one reading for the story,
without thought of style, or rhythm, or
of literary technique. Having finished,
sh-i sot It beside her on the little summer-house
seat, and dropping her burning,
crimson faco Into her hands.
"It's Jim from beginning to end," she
faltered with a s.oasm of shame.
"Heavens, where shall I hide my diminished
head that he may never find me.
IV.
Jim did not look altogether as though
shooting In the Rockies had agreed with
him. Persons who seek to forget should
shun solitudes. A woman's name may
come with wearying frequently to silent
Hps; where there are r.o women's faces
one woman's face can lurk In sunrises,
in camp fires, and haunt night watches.
"I shall stroll down and look up Eunice."
he said, after dinner. "I suppose
she has been writing early and late as
usual for the last six months."
"Oh, Eunice is away," his mother told
himshe has Just brought out her book
and has gone away for rest."
"When did she go?" he demanded
quickly.
iris mother was discrcet, and, unlike
mothers, wished him to marry,, and,
still more unlike mothers, wished him
to marry the woman of his choice.
"Oh, some days ago," she returned,
with a linger on days which stretched
them to a week.
Yet not even an archbishop could
have cavilled at the accuracy of her
words.
Jim had awaited her answer with air
of tension.
"Ah!" he said, relieved, and through
the open window he turned into the
garden. Outside he added, "Before she
got my letter, dear girl."
Inside, his mother reflected Indignantly
after his tall flgurr.. "What in the
name of goodness does sha expect, that
Jin*, doesn't satisfy her? And to run
away from him as though he were a
tiger!"
Even the most bereaved of orphans
and those poorest In kin own somebody
with whom, on leaving home, they
must lodge an address.
Therefore, a person of Jim's resources
was not long in discovering Eunice's
whereabouts.
She was sitting on the beach at Fowey?a
long, deserted beach?upon a
melancholy damp evening, her cheek
against the unresponsive ribs of a
rough pleasure boat, when she perceived
him coming.
"He* has read the book, has recognised
himself, and Is coming dutifully to
repropose, for fear I should dlo of a
broken heart, as that absurd Leonora
does," she reflected. "He has got
bravely over his feeling fcr me and
hates doing it; one can see that at a
glance. But he will set^hls teeth, and
go through with It. Only, of course, I
shall never allow such a sacrlllce."
"You don't look particularly pleased
to see me," he said, blankly.
"Oh, I am," she Insisted, stretching
him a languid hand. "You've been
away quite a long time. I'm awfully
pleased to see you. How brown you
are! Did you have a pleasant time?"
"Oh, delightful," ho retorted, like a
man Just in a cold shower-bath. "You
don't inind If 1 sit on the opposite
edge of the boat, I hope. I'll try not to
tilt It uncomfortably for your cheek.
and you can go on thinking about "Wllmot.
I read the new book coming
down In the train. You've got a new
man In It, 1 see, but I suppose It Is ntill
Wllmot you think about."
"Oh, yes," she said, hurriedly, "It la
still Wllmot."
"He's a deuced sort of n. fool, I think.
If you want my opinion," he asserted,
ouvngely.
"As you have been so long away,'*
she submitted drearily, "we will not
quarrel, but I'm rather?rather sensitive
about the characters In my books."
"You're not?crying," lie said. "Look
here, dear; I didn't mean to be a
brute,"
"I've been working rather luirO. .Tlriv.
That's all. Anil It's so frightfully damp
this evening."
IIo flung nway hlii cigarette. Hi*
walked over to her side and stood looking
down at her.
"St'C, bore, Eunice," he snlil, "I can't
forget you. I've come back to toll you
I love you even more than ever. It Is
no use In the world rating out your
heart for a mere chap In a book, scolng
that the gods won't holp you an they
did Pygmalion. Don't you think you
can put up with me?"
"Jim, tell me the truth, the real truth.
Jh It out of pity you nsk me?"
"Yen," he said, "pity for myself. T
get no peace. I'm always thinking of
you."
It wan dusk, and (ho brach wan donf-rtod,

we might have been happy theso six

"It was the artistic temperament,"
she explained. "I could only get your
real proportions by the perspective of
distance. And I found you out of all
proportion with the rest of life. But
are you sure?sure It Isn't out of pity,
Jim?"
"Pity," he repeated. "Why do you
keep harping upon pity? Of course, I
know, dear, you're not rich "
"Oh, riches!" She said, contemptuously.
He decided that the artistic temperament
was beyond him, but he kissed
the woman.
As they strolled 'up from the beach,
"And what do you think of the new
book," she demanded, guilefully, "and
how do you like the hero?"
"Oh, he's all right. If you want the
truth again, he's rather a sort of
Saint Anthony and Satan and Lord
Salisbury and Sandow all rolled into
one, but he does very well."
"You didn't think hlir. at all like
anybody you know?"
"I don't Imagine It's a portrait,' ' ho
said. "No such person could possibly
exist?out of a book."
He could not understand why she
seemed more pleased than otherwise at
his adverse criticisms. lie decided that
it must be some further eccentricity ot
the artistic temperament.
She laughed up at him.
"What a darling old stupid you fir*
Jim!" slie said, as he bade her goodnight.

To-day's developments In the money
market served fully to Justify the precautionary
attitude assumed by Influential
interests toward the speculation
during the present week, llad the borrowing
with which to hold stocks on
margin proceeded this week with the
headlong eagerness that wns shown
last week, the effect of today's flurry in
call loans Inevitably would have been
much aggravated1. In the first placd
the available resources of the monoy
market would have been much depleted
and In the second place the contraction
of credits necessitated would
have brought out much more burdensome
offerings of stocks for sale. As It
was, speculative holders of stocks
seemed to be well fortified with time
loans. Those who were not had to fnee
a -0 per cent call loan rate and a material
extension In the cash margin required
to carry stocks over the election.
Cash margins of ."0 per cent were
demanded on a lurge scale. The hardships
of borrowers were Increased by
the additional strictness of lenders with
regard to collateral, the rate being 1
pJr cent higher for loans where then'
was an admlxturo of Industrial securities
than where they wore al! railroads,
Considerable attention war. attracted
also by reports of a greatly Increased
demand for short time loans. It was
reported that thirty day loans easily
commanded i? per cent, while those for
longer periods could be had as low as \
per c?nt.
This created a. feeling of uneasiness
regarding the Immediate future of th?j
money market. It was claimed that
the high rtae for call loans was due
simply to the temporry tying up of
mom-y Incident to the monthly settlements
and that there would be a quick
release next week or as soon as dividend
and interest disbursements began
to find their way back into the money
vinarkct. The sub-treasury was debtor
at the clearing house to-day to the
amount of $2,302,771 on account of thy
government Interest payments, Thfeature
of the preliminary estimates ol
the week's cash changes Is the reversal
shown In, the current of (he money
movement with the Interior. Tho
banks have gained on the Interior
movement by express to the extent ol
probably near half a. million dollar*,
Not until to-day, when $1:00,000 wan ?ieposited
at the sob-treasury for transfer
to ChleaKO, has there betn any
transfer to the Interior through that
medium. As iv consequence of this and
the large paymontn'by the mib-treasury
on account of sold deposits at Pacific
coast points, the official statement of
the week's sub-treasury operations
shows a pain by the banks of $963,000,
Hut It must be remembered that this

for this, to-morrow's statement Is likely
to show a considerable decline In

CHICAGO?Bearish Argentine nsws,
liberal receipt*-and improved" weather
, were factors in a weak though active
wheat market t?-day, December closlnn
He under yesterday. Corn closed %.c
Higher u.n<t oats unchanged. Hog pro
duct at the close was ?1,?c to 7&<&10c
1o\vas>
Wheat priccs, after an active session
: left nn Irregular trail, but for all its
! slnucr?itles, tihe tendency was plainly
downward. December opened- %@$,c
higher at 74%@74%c, on a slight adrance
at Liverpool In the face of thr;
decline here yesterday. Tho crowd,
however, seemed to havo plenty of long
stuff, and the clear weather and an
Argentine cable reporting prospecte
"satisfactory," were sufficient to bring
much of it out. December dropped to
74%c early, rallied to 74$,(3)74^c, and
then, pressed by additional Influences,
Including liberal primary receipts and
the closing of three flour mills at Minneapolis,
slumped to 73%c. On profit
1 taking by shorts December rallied
; sharply to 73%c, but the advance failed
. to find substantial support and further
liquidation sent the pricc back to 73%c.
The decline brought some export orders
Into the pit, the seaboard reporting
sixty loads taken for the other side and
December recovered to 73%(S:734?c. The
close, however, was weak, December
V>c lower at 73%c. The outside was a
factor in the trend of prices by reason
of Its absence. Seaboard clearances in
whent and flour were equal to 33.",MO
bushels; primary receipts were 91P.OOO
bushels, compared with 74.1,000 bushels
lust year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
491 cars, against 563 cars last
week and 715.a year ngo. Local receipts
were 117 cars, fourteen of contract
grade.
Corn was quiet, despite the weakness
in the larger pit. The market derived
strength from light country offerings,
firm cables, light Argentine shipments
and a goodi rnsh demand, principally
frnm thr. Mdfllinaril T")nrv?mh?r snlH ho
tween 35',#c and 35%c, closing 34c over
yesterday nt 35Kc; receipts were 199
earn.
Oats suffered from neglcct. The corn
Strength and the heavy clearanccs.
; over half a million helped to steady the
market. December sold.between 21%(3>
| 22c and 22%c, closing unchanged at 22c;
1 receipts were lOfi cars.
Provisions were quiet. The market
opened 5<5>7%c higher on the small
stocks, light hog receipts and an advance
In prices at the Btock yards,
i Trnders, however, were already rather
long on product In anticipation of the
report showing small stocks and as the
outside showed no particular disposition
to take the ctuIT oft' their hand3
at a profit to holders the market sagged
and closed easy. January pork
aold between $11 40 and $11 22% and
' closed 7l/6@10c under yesterday at
$11 25: January lard between Jfi S3*i
and $6 70, closing fie lower nt 50 70 and
January ribs between $6 07% and $G 00,
with the close 2V?c down nt $G 00.
