CHICAGO. Sept. 1,(-A
though losing fractions, Chicago
wheat prices today continued to
buck; the recession under way In
other: wdrld markets.
While Liverpool and Winnipeg
quotations fell as much as one
and two cents a bushel respec
tively! to new low levels for the
past several years, and Rotter
dam dropped ZVt to 4. the
Chicago market followed this de
cline only partially and before
the close exhibited recovery pow
er. Some traders attributed this
independent action to the effect
of operation of the export 'sub
sidy program. j
An ; explanation offered by
Bartlett Frazier Co., for example
was that removal of hedges in
connection with government cash
wheat buying gave a certain sta
bility to the domestic market,
though the effect elsewhere of
the program was evident in
weakness of competing markets.
A continuation of the program,
it was. said, would throw Chicago
further out of line.
Close 4 -7s Lower
After dipping at one time as
much as lhi cents,' Chicago
prices' closed only i-74 lower
compared with yesterday's finish,
Sept. 62-, Dec. 644-.
Some late baying of wheat was
attributed to removal of hedges
in connection with further gov
ernment purchases and sales to
mills. ..Taking 727000 bushels
over night, the government in
creased its purchases to 2,257,
472. Further sales to exporters
at an average loss of four to
seven cents -, of 132,000 bushels
brought total resales to 1,532,
000. The government' paid 59 to
78.5 cents for its 'wheat.
Additional market support was
derived from trade rumors that
the program might be broadened
to involve lower grades of wheat.

IT'S YOU I WANT !
By ALLENE CORLISS'
CHAPTER XIV
Surprising how easy it had been
, ... this tacit agreement between
Whitney and Scott to play the
game fair ... not to be cheap and
tawdry about it. How easy and how
hard. Surprising that not once in all
these weeks had either one of them
been willing to make the initial
move which might have disrupted
the whole thing ... thrown it com
pletely off balance. Whitney won
dered what would happen if one of
them did. If one of them should sud
denly let go, refuse to keep up the
pretense any ..longer. Would the
whole thing, Jail these weeks of
striving to build up a certain im
pregnability, topple over and leave
them breathless and defenseless and
stripped of everything but their
fierce need of each other? .Whitney
didnt know. She was 'afraid to
wonder . . . :
And then it happened. Someone,
Spencer Scofield, she thought it was,
was weaving his way toward them,
with the obvious intention of cut
ting in. Suddenly Scott's arm tight
ened about her. His fingers tense
over hers. He said: "Let's get out
of here, Whit . . . jto somewhere
where we can talk. I've got to be.
alone with you . . .
She said "All right . . And they
turned abruptly and danced away
from Spencer and toward the dark
line of stags that shadowed the door.
As they pushed their way through
them, Whitney turned and looked
back ... the spotlight had swung
i . rr i m a
arouna once more, i nis time it naa
sought out Olivia and it clung to her
"for a brief moment . . i outlining,
the slender perfection of her body
n an aquamarine dress, narrow
rhinestone straps -accenting the
lovely smoothness of her shoulders,
rale gold hair springing back from
her forehead, swirled about her
head, the hand with Scott's rings on
it, resting lightly on the black
broadcloth sleeve of a boy home
from Tale for the holidays. Olivia,'
with her lips slightly parted, her
eyes brightly interested. Olivia,
saying the right things to the Yale
boy, following his deliberately intri
cate dance steps perfectly, appar
ently oblivious to everyone but him
. . . but not being, of course . . .
knowing that Scott and she had left
the floor ... knowing it and not let
tin r anyone see that she knew it . . .
The spotlight turned from orange
to mauve and moved on restlessly
and Olivia was just part of -the
' darkly moving silhouettes in the far
corner. Scott's hand was urgent on
her arm. They made their way
through the crowd at the door and
emerged suddenly and a little
a breathlessly into the hard light of
'the corridor.
. Scott said: "How about some
food? Or shall we just go some
where and sit quietly and smoke a
cigarette??
Whitney smiled. "There isn't a
o-uiet place within a mile of here.
We might go to Child and have
scrambled eggs . .
They came out into a cold, frost
bitten night. Stars hung high in a
- bleak, splendidly remote sky. The
street was quiet except for a road
ster filled with subdebs and three
boys in raccoon coats who were
arguing about whether to go in and
dance or go back to the party they
had just left, which was smaller but
noisier.
A cold wind whipped around the
corner and Whitneysunk her chin in
fur. Scott slipped his arm through
hers and saidi "You aren't really
hungry, are you? Brad Lewis Kves
I just around. the corner from here
. . . he's throwing a party tonight.
Let's drop in on him for a minute
"... well never be missed here."
She remembered ' Brad Lewis
vaguely as a young lawyer she. had
met at Scott's apartment earlier in
the season. She thought he was
from Baltimore or somewhere any- j
way, no one had seemed t? know Turn j
very welL She said: "53a mustn't
be gone long ... after all, this is a
private dance
"Yes," agreed Scott, grinning
faintly, "another bud is being al
lowed to burst into full magnificence
. . . this one won't live tor bloom
alone long if I'm any judge of debs
. . . Gwen has already conquered
half the stag line and is now busily
engaged in mowing down the other
half. It's the best coming-out party
since your dance a year and a half
ago, Whit . . i
"Was it only" that long? It seems
a decade at least. But it was a nice
dance, wasn't it, Scott? Do you re
member ..."
They talked about it all 'the way
around. the corner and the few
blocks, to Brad Lewis' apartment
house. It served as well as any
thing
They rode up in the elevator to
the sixth floor and walked down a
deserted corridor. It was very quiet,
Whitney said: "Are yon sure there
is a party, here ... it hasn't the
proper atmosphere, someway ..."
They were in front of a door
which was lettered simply 6-C and
further identified by one Mr. Brad
ford H. Lewis' engraved card.
Scott . said: "No, darling, there
isn't a party. Brad is in Washing
ton for the week-end. But he left me
the key in case ..."
Whitney swung around slowly.
Stared at him. In the dim light of
the corridor his eyes were smiling
disarmingly beneath the pulled
down brim of his hat. His band on
her arm was light and reassuring.
"If you don't want to, Whit . . . you
don't have to. Well go back and 111
turn you over to Red Towner and
the rest of the gang. But it would
be nice to have five minutes alone
together ..." i '
"You planned this . . . all the eve
ning you've been . ; ."
"Yes. Is there anything so very
terrible about that? Good heavens,
Whit, we've behaved beautifully for
weeks. You know we have. And I
didn't really plan this . . . it just
sort of happened. Brad was leaving
town and he forgot some important
papers and asked me to run over
here and pick them up and mail
them to him. That's how I happened
to have the key." No need of telling
her that from the moment Brad had
handed it to him the day before he
bad been thinking of this one thing
... living for this minute ... j
She said: "I see." Then she said:
"I think well go back to the dance,
Scott, if you don't mind." j
. "Whitney 1 Don't do that. Don't
t lik that!" His hands were
urgent on her arms. He was shak
ing her gently. "What harm can jit
do? Well stay only a few minutes.
But it will be auiet and well be
alone and we can talk; I won't even
touch you if you don't want me
... I promise I won t So help
Whit, I'll keep away from you . .
Jiut I wouldnx want you to
and you'd know that I didn't wa
you to . . . and then you couldn.
And once we start seeing each other
alone, even if we stay yards apart,
we re sunk.- And you know it,"
l m not sure that l do. 1 m n
sure but that this way is worse.
Perhaps if we saw more of each
other . . ." , : 4 ! .' - , j
"No. If this were something that
had just happened suddenly.. . . I
mean, if you had married Olivia
and then met me and liked me
it might work out that way but
isn't like that with us." ' -
"No," said Scott, "Olivia is the
girl I met . . . and liked . . . and got
over . . . i '
"Scott, please . . let's not go
tnat again." : ;
"All right. Then.this is no good
. V even for a little while?" He
opened his hand and showed her the
key to the apartment.
"No. It's no good at afl." Her
knees were shaking. More than
anything in the world she wanted

the door. She wanted to say: "Yes. i
Let's go in. We've been together ;
alone dozens of times ... this isn't !
any different . . ." -
Instead, she said once more : "No,
it isn't any good ... even for a lit
tle while." .
They turned and walked back
down the corridor. Scott rang for 1
the elevator. While they waited for
it to come up, he said: "I suppose I
knew all the time that it wouldn't ;
work ... that you wouldn't do it, I
But I had to try . . ."
, The elevator arrived and they got
in. It was brightly lighted, and in
the oblong mirror across its rear
wall Whitney saw her face. It was
white and drenched with fatigue,
the eyes smudged in darkly. She 1
found a gold lipstick in her evening :
bag and began automatically mak
ing up her mouth, but her hands
were shaking so she gave it up and
rode the rest of the way down with
them clenched softly at her sides.
Watching -Scott, as he stood beside
her, eyes staring straight ahead,
his mouth unsmiling, it occurred to
her as a bit ironical that she had
described him to Jay Nowell once
as the gayest person she had ever,
known.
Olivia said: "I suppose you know
why I asked you to lunch with me."
Whitney waited until the waiter
who had just taken their order had
moved further away, then she said:
"Yes, I suppose I do."
"I want to talk to you about
Scott." ,
"I thought that was it. You saw
us go out together last night?"
"Yes." . i
"And you want to know where we
wenlj? Well, that's easy. We went
to Brad Lewis' apartment. He was ;
having a party and Scott suggested
looking in on it for a. minute ..."
Whitney thought: "Why am I both
ering to tell her half the truth? It is
stupid and cheap ..."
Olivia lit a cigarette. Inhaled
gently. She was wearing a small :
off-the-face hat and the clean line
of her hair looked very young and ;
golden where it sprang back from
her forehead. She was four years '
older than Whitney but she was :
smaller and for several years, at i
least, would look younger. She said,
smiling steadily: "I happen to know ;
that Brad Lewis is out of town for
the week-end and couldn't possibly
have been having a party last "
night." . ' . : i
"Yes," said Whitney, "you are;
quite right. He was out of town. He'
was in Washington." She " had ;
known all the time that it wasnt
any good.' That someway Olivia
would know. She said: "We still
went to his apartment," For a mo-
ment she paused, terribly aware of '
Olivia's eyes, of the tension that
was doing something pitiful to her .
mouth. And for the second time
since she had known her, she felt
sorry for her. Terribly sorry. "But ;
we didnt go in. You must believe
that, Olivia, because it is the ftrutb
We went back to the Copley." j
"I suppose," said Olivia, speaking
slowly, bitterly, "that you think that
should make me feel better? That X
should be grateful to you? For not
staying? Well, I'm not. I wish you '
naa stayea. i wisn you'd
"I know." Whitney's face was
quite as white now as Olivia's.
"Scott tried to use that same argu
ment. But I happen to know that yon
are both wrong. You see, we've
known each other too long ... you've
got to figure from that point, Olivia
. . , don't forget that always with
Scott and me you've got to figure
from that point."
"I know. Dont think I ever for
get it, not for a minute. X don't sup
pose you would believe me if I told
you that if I had known ... if I had
realized how things were between
you and Scott I would never have
married him." i ;
