Wool Marts Quiet " But Undertone Is Firm, Says Report BOSTON. Aug. 20-flVrhe commercial bulletin will say to morrow "The wool market continues very quiet,' Semi-occasional sales are reported here and there but for small quantities and the surface indications are that the market Is weaker.

Denny hurried down the road to ward the river level, and made her way to the farthest cabin, where she saw Stebbins huskies tethered on the bank. In answer to her knock the door was opened by the trap per's wife. "I'm Mrs. Bourne," Denny intro duced herself. "Might I come in end speak with Mr. Stebbins?- "What for your wanting him?" The native eyed her with- sudden hostility. Denny drew herself np a little haughtily. "I have business with him. I wish to employ him. Uhl Yon pay?" "Certainly I shall pay I Now please let me In." She sent an ap prehensive glance up the slope to ward River House, fearing that Bourne and the Commander might be in sight. The woman stepped aside. "Ton go in. I fetch Stebbins." When -he arrived he greeted Denny guardedly. "I heard you are going down to Wrangell, Mr. Stebbins," Denny be gan. "I'd like to take passage with you.". - "Since when does Rev Bourne's wife come to me with the offer of a Job?" he asked, with an oblique glance of appraisal. " "My request is clear enough, I'm sure. Do you, or dont you wish to earn a good fee by taking me do n to the coastr" :T "I'm no fool, missus." He shuf fled his feet uneasily. "I know there's a catch in this somewhere. Rev Bourne would never throw a job like this my way." Denny shrank from taking the man farther into her confidence, but she bad no choice in the matter. "It Is L not Captain Bourne, who en gage you," she responded coldly. "And it is I who win pay you when the trip is over. Captain Bourne knows nothing about this ; and and I do not wish him to know. Nor any ene else: you understand." "Oh, hoi" The man's pale eyes narrowed ta a look of cunning com prehension. "Well, that's a horse of another color." After a mo ment's calculation, he went on. "Sore, 111 take you down. Five hundred dollars for the trip, and so questions asked." "Good. I wish to start at once." "No, lady. Cant do that. You aee, I came to town to do a little celebrating. If you want to ro with me, youll have to wait until after Christmas." Denny hesitated. Her instincts warned her against having anything to do with the man. She wasn't afraid of him her class conscious ness prevented that but he affected her unpleasantly. Then she re minded herself that he waa her only hope of escape. He would have his wife with him on the trip, and he owned the finest team of dogs she had seen in the country.- What more could she ask? "AH rhrhL1 she decided TU see too the daw after Christmas and fix the exact - date ox departure. And remember. I'm paying for your silence as well as for your service." "Dont worry about that, Mrs. Bourne. I never blah, even when I'm drunk. Ton leave ererything tome. tew are you nxeo xer warm ciotnesT Got a aleesir barf" "No. Ton may buy what I need and m pay you later." "Suite me. I can get a sleeping bag at the Hudson's Bay store."

Tha Commander and Bourne, their backs toward her. were Inside the vestibule, appar ently inspecting the decorating that was in progress. She hastened on up the road, tor mented by doubt. Had he seen her coming from Stebbins cabin? When she reached River House, she ran into the kitchen and asked Honey-jo when Bourne , and ' the Commander had left the house. "Search me 1" exclaimed the house keeper making fork marks around the crust of a thick pumpkin pie. ! been so busy with my belong I didn't notice." Denny went slowly upstairs. racked by uncertainty. When she reached her own quar ters she moved about, trying to se lect the number of articles she could take with her in the single bag al- owed for her trip. But her mental turmoil brought on a headache. She finally gave Alderbloom instructions that she was not to be disturbed on any account, and then lay down on the couch in her sitting room. Her last thought before she fell into a deep sleep was that she would have a bona fide excuse for staying home from the Christmas Eve festival at the church. It was dark when she awakened. The first thing she heard was the voice of Boney-io coming from Harp's room across the halL "For Pete s sake, Harp I Stop fussing with those whiskers: and hold still till I get this pillow stuffed in your front!" "Doggone my wild nature, I cant! They're tickling mel" "Tickling nothing. Quit scowling now!

Be sure you dont forget your speech now. . . Come along. Denny lay, warm and drowsy on her couch, listening. Thumps, ad monitions, and recriminations indi cated the progress of the pair down the steps. Other sounds, oddly home like and pleasant, came to her: Bourne in his room, dressing for the evening at the church, humming "A la Claire Fontaine."

"Oh. come. Van! The Comman der's just about hardened his ar teries getting Us show ready. It wouldn t be sporting to leave him playinz only to the raHery. Look at me I've put on my best evening gown here's hoping it doesn't oust out at tha seams before I get back. Why not doll up a little yourself and well give the town a treat? Denny cant come on account of a headache, so San Francisco wont be represented. But Philadelphia and New York in the dress circle will make up in class for what we lack in numbers." Apparently. Van Cleve disdained an audible answer to this, for Denny heard Rio go alone downstairs. Presently Bourne s laugh came up from below as he marshaled his household out through the front door. The cheerful, noisy sounds of departure died away and the bouse grew still; so still that Denny could hear the occasional cracking of frost in the walls. Loneliness, tinged witb a sense of grievance, began to in vade her. Forgetting her own strict order that she was not to be dis turbed, she began to think, forlornly, that no one eared whether she went to the Christmas tree or not. None of these people were in sympathy with her. Least of all. Revelry Bourne, who had been going about all day; like a big male Pollyana, she thought scornfully, making other people happy. , She had been his wife for over two months and she knew no more about him now than she did that night she had met him in the grove by the river. She was actually better ac quainted with Van Cleve thanshe was with her own husband! " . The realization was a little star tling. Her mind went back over their association during the past weeks. The doctor's helplessness, his silent -offering, bad brought out in her an unexpected capacity for personal, sympathetic service. Who would take care of him when she was gone? Tbe thought sad dened her for a moment Then she got up from the couch and in shak ing back her hair, found that he headache had vanished. It's Christmas Eve." she re minded herself. "I suppose I should dress up a little." She put on her coral dinner gown. "My wedding dress!" She made a grimace at the girl who looked at her from the mir ror. "What a rosh-awful color te be married In!" As she slipped her feet Into her silver slippers, it occurred te her that it might be welt, since every one was out of the house, to go down to the card room and look over a map of the SUkina ae that ahe might have some Idea of the route she waa . to travel when she set forth with Stebbins.' When she was bending over the map on the card-room table ahe remembered how. as a little rirL aha had traced in her school geography that same wavering Mack Una that represented her father's river. Tha thought seemed to bring Larry . Keith very close te her. She got out his dividers and parallel rules, and though she had never before handled such instruments, began to naake a miniature map ef the route to take with heri one which gave tha loca tion of cabins along the way and tha distances between them. As she worked, she marveled that she should so readily understand hew to go about this. She tbought, with prid "Perhaps it's the Keith spirit in me that knows these things.1 The fancy pleased her and gave her confidence that ahe would prove a good traveler "on the traiL" (Te be eon tinned) Sell Stampede Sets new Lows Grain at Season's Record Bottom After Wild Selling Spree CHICAGO. Aug. 10.-H-Stam- peoe selling that started in the corn market and then spread to other commodities tumbled prices wildly downward . late . today to season low price records. September corn contracts, in which the flurry began, fell near ly 4 cents, the Immediate extreme permissible limit, and September wheat collapsed IK cents to more than 2. cents under the sea son's high point reached bardly a month ago. Persistent refusal of importing nations to purchase wheat supplies on any big scale from this country appeared to have left, the wheat market prac tically, without support for at least the time being. At the close; corn was cents under yesterday's finish, and wheat I cents to 2 down. , Before the corn market flurry took place, wheat and other grains showed an upward trend at times, wheat rising temporarily about a cent. Rye and oats gave way with wheat. Provisions reflected down turns both of hog values and of grains. September, October and December lard collapsed 50 cents, the extreme limit for any single day.
