" The price level at the end of January was approximately 10 per cent above the low point of June, 1924, and 6 per cent higher than in January, 1924, according to the wholesale price index number of the United States1 department of labor.

"I -I couldn't eat any break fast," she faltered. I took her by the shoulders and swung her around facing me: "Look here," I said Ciisply. "There's nothing- more unpleasant going to happen to you,. 1 guaran tee it. The taxi is already waltina for us, and we only have to eaf our breakfast and start.

She brushed an imaginary crumb from , the tablecloth, came around to my side of the table and said In a low voice intended for my ear alone:' ,"I didn't intend that anyone should eat in here this " morning while you were here, but an old man came In last night after you did who had made a mistake and left the train at the wrong station he's some kind of a high-class foreigner by the looks and accent of him and he came just now and asked for an early breakfast, so I couldn't help giving it to him. But he doesn't know anything about this mix-up as the people in the house do, so I don't think you need to mind." . "No, I don't mind," I returned quietly, although my pulses had quickened with excitement. . For I knew, of course, who was the elderly foreigner whom she meant knew as well as I did a minute later, when Harry Under wood. In his clever but fantastic d si guise of Don Ramon Almirez, walked in and took a seat at the other end of the room. Clair FoBter opened her eyes wide at the sight of him, and with a flash of her old vivacity touched my foot beneath the table. "Where did he get it?" she murmured, bending over her cer eal. "Hush!" I countered warily watching Mr. Underwood out of the corner of my eye. An Unknown Quantity! I had not idea whether or not he meant to speak to me. Harry Un derwood' is always distinctly the unknown quantity of any equa tion which contains him. His ap pearance at the Barker house,, pro tected from conjecture as it was by his ingenious story, proved that he was carrying out his voiced in tention of watching out for me. I did hot take much stock in his rather melodramatic hints of hid den knowledge, but his proximity and care of me gave me a queerly comfortable little feeling of safety. ; ' ( To be continued) Five Students to Enter ; Peace Oratorial Contest ,The try-outs at Willamette University for the peace oratorical contest-will be held in the near future.

If every man and woman who have rheumatism in any form would take Trunk's Prescription there would be but one remedy remaining on the market, and that one would be Trunk's Prescription, as it stands alone In its good effect and results, so much so that all other remedies would be laid aside as forgotten. No matter how long standing your case' may be or the innumerable treatments tried in vain, simply fol low this treatment as directed and rheumatism cannot exist in the human body. There are only two instances in .which these prescrip tions can fail, and that is if you haven't rheumatism, and if you do not read and follow the directions.
