Prediction of Sharp Cut in
Production Brings

CHICAGO, Dec. Z-.-J-With
an upward tilt to "prices, the
wheat market today reflected the
overnight government report fore
casting the sharpest year-to-year
reduction in w h e a t production
prospects on record.
The -market also was strength
ened by elevator purchasing of
December contracts in which trad
ing ended today, by strength at
Liverpool at the close and by re
ports that neither Australia nor
Argentina were pressing "their
new wheaton the European mar
ket. Foresee Small Coop
Greatly reduced acreage and
poor condition of winter wheat
suggested a possible crop next
summer of 485,000,000 bushels,
smallest since 1935 and 200,000,
000 bushels i less than harvested
this year. Recent private fore
casts had indicated a crop of
around 524,000,000 bushels was
possible. This' took some of the

"MY LOVE IS
NEW

By Iris Bennett
CHAPTER XIV
Gordon looked for Avis and found
her on the veranda in the half -darkness,
her white satin dress shimmer
lngr, several diamond bracelets glit
tering on her brown arm.
Leaning against the porch railing
he lighted a eigaret and said, "I
can scarcely see yon but I think the
hair is red and so it must be, you,
Avis. And he knew her green eyes
were looking angrily at him.
"So kind of you to take the trouble
to find me. So yon brought Con
stance tonight Showing her a little
glamor, is that it?" Her voice was
' husky and hard. "Have you told her
what she's been missing all these
years? You've such a wonderful
. line, Gordon. "You haven't forgotten
anything, I hope." Then, after a
pause, "You know I expected to
come with you tonight, You know
. that everyone is saying I've been
thrown over for your secretary.
That's a laugh I Being thrown over
for a girl from Vine Street. But
those girls seem to have something.
Look at Rosalind married to the
richest boy in town ..."
At he inhaled the eigaret, he saw
her tense angry face in the glow.
"I only wanted to show Constance
a good time. She hasn't had much
fun and she's been working hard."
Leaning forward, he took her hand,
xlrew her to her feet, and then close
. to him. "Let me see your f ace in the
. light, Avis. You're not jealous of
. Constance, I hope. Only two days
ago when I asked you frankly if you
' loved me. vou said emnhaticallv that
jroa didn't"
She pulled her hands free of his.
Idon'tl I hate you, Gordon 1 I hate
' your smoothness, your conceit! J
can see through you but Constance
eantr Moving away, she tried,
. "And I know about you! Oh, don't
worry, I wont tell anybody. I'm a
nicer person than I've ever been
given credit for being. I play fair 1"
. Gordon smoked another eigaret

him! Odd girl. Avis. Strong, fiery,
yet tender at times. They had had
many tender moments.
He smiled in bitter amusement
He had come to Northwood looking
for peace and quiet Instead he was
not only complicating his already
complicated life but he was drawing
ethers Into it He had thought by
bringing Constance tonight Avis
would he jealous,, that jealousy
' would make her afraid and perhaps
tender, and in a tender mood he
would ask her to marry him. But he
had been wrong. Tossing the dg-
aret to the lawn, he thought, "I'm
messing this up badly. I'm playing
a rotten game." But it was a game
he had begun and he had to see it
through to the end.
.'Going bv he looked for Constance
. and danced with her again.
Close to him, feeling his arms
around her, aha was confused and
afraid again. But confusion and
fear had been growing in her since
that rainy night What was hap
pening to her? The throbbing music
would not let her think dearly. She
felt stirred and excited. By Gordon?
Oh, no, not But the excitement of
tonight made Terry remote. She
could, not keep him close tonight
"IH write to him when I- get home
no matter how late it la and that
will bring him close." . .
"Having a good time?" he asked.
"A wonderful time." If Rosalind
. had not snubbed her and avoided
her ...
. "Wall hava to do this of ten,", he
said.
But she knew she would refuse his
next invitation and next Saturday
she would drive the hundred miles
to the camp to be with Terry. -loon-
light on the river and pine trees, he
had written. How much more satis
fying they were than dancing in a
warm, crowded country club hail-
room with people with whom she did
not beiongi '
The music stopped. With her arm
through his, they crossed the room

lifting her lipa for his kiss. And her
first impulse was to pun away. But
she could not pull away. Something
stronger than she was, something
stronger than anything she had ever
felt before, kept her there. And be
cause her eyes were closed he could
putt see the tears on her lashes. No
use to fight anymore, she thought
No use to call it confusion and fear.
She knew. She ! knew ... with her
heart breaking . . .
-You love me, Constance."
Now she did move away and the
tears were shining in her eyes.
He asked, "Where are you go
ing?" !
I'm going to ask Van to take me
home. Please, please don't come with
me."
His eyes followed the tall silver
heels to the club house. But his black
eyes were not amused at this be
cause in the deep troubled waters of
his tangled life, he knew he had en
gulfed her...
Not daring to glance back, she
went directly to the club house. She
wished she could run without caus
ing a scene. Yet she felt weak and
shaking. "Oh, no, don't let me admit
it! It isn't true that I'm in love with
Gordon! It can't be I IH fight
against it!" Her head ached. She
wanted to cry until she had neither
strength nor tears left i
The veranda was crowded. In the
darkness she saw the bright ends of
glowing cigarets and heard mixed
voices. In all this crowd where was
Van? She had to find him!
Ever after she was grateful that
Van stepped from the veranda into
the light and said, grinning down at
her, "I've been looking all over the
place for you. Let's dance. My wife
is too popular. I've only danced with
her once tonight"
lier voice sounded i unnatural.
"Van, will you take ! me home?
nvni
"Home? Aren't you ha vine a
good time? Oh, come on. Let's
dance. It isn't late. Where's Gordon?"
"My head aches terribly." She
tried to smile. "I'm not used to big
events like this. I mean it I really
want to go home."
He lowered his voice. "Is any
thing wrong?"
She laid her hand on his sleeve.
"Please don't ask me any questions
and please take me home."
His eyes puzzled, he said. "Sure.
Get your coat and 111 meet you here
in five minutes."
"Thank you."
Several times he glanced at her
anxiously as the car rolled rapidly
over the country road toward
Northwood. But he did not question
her. Probably she and Gordon had
quarreled. It wasn't any of his busi
ness. .
Before her home she spoke for the
first time. "Dont bother to come up
to the porch with me. Van. I'm all
right Go back to the club to Rosa
lind. She wont know; where you
went"
"You're not all right but if there's
anything I can do... i
via. Tnanaa lor Bringing me
home."
She went in quietly. In her room
with the one white lamp on the
dressing table burning, she stood in
the center of the floor and Covered
her face with her hands. And soon
the palms of her hands were wet
This room bad been the center of
her dreams and thoughts since child
hood. In it she had said Terry's
name over and over since she had
been a little girl. Now now she
thought of him with guilt tearing
her to pieces I She was weak! Her
love for Terry had failed in a test
She was unworthy of his love for
her. She thought "I cant think
about it 111 go crazy.' I never
dreamed that this could happen to
me. What shall I do?" r
But she knew she had to think
about it and face it now. You
could not run away from anything.
Yon could not run away from your
self. You could lie to yourself as she
had been doing for days but sooner
or later you had to look at the truth.
The truth ... She took her hands
away from her face,' threw off her
white coat went to the chair by the
window, and sat down. But aha was
not seeing the familiar room. She
was back at the club beside the pool
and Gordon's arms were around her
and he was kissing her! That was
the truth she had to facet Under
her breath she said, "I'm in love
with Gordon," as if she could not be
lieve it even after she had said it
"I've been failinsr in love with him
all along, fighting it, kidding myself.
I wanted him to kiss me 1 1 wanted
to look lovely tonight for Aim" And
she knew that she would want him
to kiss her again and that after to
night she would want to look lovely
only for him ...
Terry . . ."But I still feel the same
about him. I dont understand that
How can I feel the same about him
when I'm in love with Gordon? And
yet I do feel the same. If he'd come
in now, I'd be happy to see him. But
ashamed ... oh, how ashamed...!
I don't love Terry less. I love
Gordon more."
All night she sat in the chair by
the window, thinking. And after a
long time she knew what she must
do. Her love for Gordon was not a
good love because it did not make
her happy, because there were
doubts and fears in it and because
she had known it with her heart
breaking. . . . "IH never go back to
the Spanish house again," she
thought "IH never see him again.
Ill get over it in time and Terry
will never know about tonight and
well be married in October. Next
Saturday 111 drive up to see him
and everything will be all right
again."
And in trying desperately to be
honest and in wanting desperately
to preserve what Up until now had
been her whole world, she did not
realize that she was not only help
less in this thing that had happened
to her but that she was lying to her
self again.
Her mother, thinking she was
asleep, did not call her for church.
Constance heard her parents go
downstairs and later, when sun
light flooded her room, she heard
them go out
She was wearing a printed linen
smock when she came downstairs
just as the telephone in the hall rang
anriuy. Sue stopped still. Should
she answer it? Should she tell hirrj
Now away from him she could teu
him.
"Constance?" Gordon asked.
She felt weak. "Yes."
"Are you alone?"
"Yes. Mother and Father went to
church."
"Then I'm comine in to see vou.
I've got to see you. Oh, I'm not an
gry about your leaving last night
Probably a good thing. But I've got
to see you and talk to you."
1 can't see you, Gordon. I'm not
going to see you any more. And I
won't be there tomorrow. Good
bye." And rang off and put her
bright bead in her arms and cried
again cried because she knew she
loved him not as she had always
loved Terry but unreasonably and
maaiy...
In the study of the Spanish house
Gordon replaced the telephone on
the hook and thoughtfully tapped
the ashes of the eigaret in a brass
tray. How unhappy she had sound
ed! Poor Constance. Lovely, golden-
naired girl who loved him and
wished she didnt! "I wonder," he
thought "how she'd feel if she knew
I wanted to see her this morning
and tell her to forget about me and
last night and stick to the boy she
thought she loved before I came on
the scene."
Putting the cigarette between his
lips again, frowning at the smoke
in his eyes, he dialed Avis' number.
In the blue kitchen Constance was
drying the breakfast dishes.? Her
mother had asked eager questions
about last night and especially about
Rosalind. Constance thought "I'd
almost forgotten that Rosalind
avoided me."
"Mother, IVs) decided to give Up
my job with Gordon Keith."
Her hands in soapy water, Ruth
Darby did not look up.
"Have you, dear?" she asked
quietly. "Well, then, I wouldnt look
for another job. The weather will be
terribly hot soon and you could only
take a temporary job anyway. Well
manage about your wedding and
clothes. Well do the best we can."
How long does it take to stop lov
ing someone who turned your world
upside-down, Constance wondered?
Eow long would it be before her
world was solid and safe and se
cure again? As the day dragged on,
she thought of Terry less and a hun
dred times that day she was in Gor
don's arms beside the pool in the
darkness. A hundred . times she
heard him say, "You love me, Con
stance." It was maddening. -
And after two days it was still bo
better.

Rails Leaders
In Mart Rally
Hopes of Rehabilitation of
Carriers Back of
Turn There
NEW YORK, Dec 22 -)-The
stock market got a foothold on
the upgrade today after slipping
downhill for five straight sessions.
More year-end liquidation-in
aircrafts and scattered other is
sues impeded the turnaround.
However, a late buying flurry en
abled the market to close on a
rallying note.
Rails, usually the laggards in
recent years, showed more bounce
on the upside than most groups
The buying in ' carriers, brokers
said, probably was motivated
chiefly by hope the new congress
would give early consideration to
a program for rehabilitation of
the industry. The financial dis
tricts has been reading various
reports of proposals due to be in
corporated in a broad plan for
rail aid.
"Technical" Rally Due
Generally the improvement in
the market seemed to be based on
nothing more tangible at the mo
ment than the conclusion of num
erous traders that a "technical"
rally was due, considering the ex
tent of the mark-down in prices

Speculation held to a leisurely
pace and transactions ran at
about the same rate as yesterday,
totaling 1,042,920 shares against
1,057,745. The Associated Press
composite price of 60 stocks ad
vanced .3 of a point at 50.9.
