GIVE HER WINGS By MARIE BLIZARD CHAPTER XXXIII ' In later yean of her life when the) laughirrg voices of her daughters ; rose from a tennis court and wafted through the windows of her beauti ful bedroom, Julie Allerdyee was to ' remember, with a humiliation that years of love and protection could not erase, her awakening the morn ing . after Stanley Lombard de stroyed her hope of earning money to pay a debt of honor.- ; - " r The events of that day were ex piated by the woman that she be ' came, but their mark left a scar on ber spirit. ' . - That morning the laughter of merry voices was a torment to her, mingling with the voice within her self that taunted her. The voice that repeated her plight. What will you do nowt The question came at her in letters that blurred out the beauty of the blue sky seen through the , window through which she " gazed with dull eyes. - The luxury about her was a cruel reminder of her own poverty. If she could get a job as a saleswoman, a reception clerk or some other berth in which experience was not re quired, she couldn't make enough money to pay off bar debt for a year. The weekly pittance she could af ford to set aside wouldn't pay for the linen sheet that covered her. ; Wearily she closed her eyes, j Her untouched breakfast tray was beside her bed. She sipped some of the coffee, hoping to bring some -life, to ber leaden limbs, 'some strength with, which to solva her problem. -. , .. The idea occurred to her that she could go to Nancy Lombard and - make a confession of her folly. But Is ancy s cool, calm face seemed no longer cool but cold and unfriendly, Julie knew that when she had told Nancy, Nancy would say, "Oh, It's quite all right," and Julie would wish that she could sink through the floor. r . ; Naturally Nancy would have to explain to Else and Elsa would find soma way to tell PauL - Paul I - Why hadn't she thought of that . before? - - " 4 - - The palms of her, hand were sud denly moist and her hair clung to . her perspiring forehead The enor mity of the idea that came to her shook her inwardly. She pressed her hands to her heart to still Its fast beating. They felt cold through ' the silk of her night-gown.

Jan. 2 O.-typ)-Stimulated by a pick-up in export busi ness and by failure of any worth while moisture to develop south west, wheat rose 1 cents here today. Last minute reactions, however, due to profit realling, wiped out much of the wheat gains. It was estimated 600,000 to 750,000 bushels of wheat from North Am erica, chiefly the United States, was bought today for shipment to Europe. Close H to U Up - At the close Chicago wheat fu tures were -g above yesterday's finish, May 95 July 90 hi- , Corn up, May 60-, July 61, oats 4 advanced, rye showing to 1 cent bulge, and provisions varying from 5 cents setback to 17 cents upturn. Advices of substantial crop, damage in Italy by frosts and floods gave emphasis to unfavor able domestic wheat crop condi tions in important areas. May Gain Best May wheat -scored the best net gain in Chicago, mounting to 96 cents, but reacting at the last to 95-. ; 'Corn, bats- and rye reflected wheat upturns. Further decrease of corn primary receipts attracted notice, today's arrivals totaling but 929,000 bushels, against 1, 850,000 a week ago. Provisions were influenced mainly by strength of grains and cotton-seed oil. Demand for Dairy Cows Reported Brisk, Scio SCIO Demand for dairy cos is reported brisk and, prices are tempting: in manv instancea. A buyer was in Scio a few days ago in quest oi 40 young cows for the Tillamook area, one of the-leading dairy sections of the state.
