Moderate Wool
Movement Seen
BOSTON. Dec. 23 - (P) - The
Commercial Bulletin will say to
morrow: "There is a moderate move
ment in wool on Summer street at
prices which are steadily main
tained on the basis established
last -weekend. Good topmaking
fine wools are costing rather on
the upper side of 65. cents, clean
basis. Stocks of medium wools are
limited and are usually held above
the level manufacturers are will
ing to pay.
" "Foreign markets are reported
fairly steady, "as a rule, although
the primary markets are mostly
closed for the holidays.
"Little activity is reported from
the west. At the sealed bid sale in
Texas earlier in the week, 65
cents clean basis for fair 12
months wools, delivered Boston,
was refused.
"Many mills are reported well
sold through February and speci
fications against these contracts,
doubtless account for the wool
movement this week.
"Mohair is quiet but fairly
firm."

FDR Talk Ii Prop
Carriers, exhibiting strength
yesterday, received a further prop
in the report of the president's
railway committee, which, com
bining both management and la
bor representation, suggested a
wide program for rehabilitation of
the transportation systems.
. While Wall street generally
termed the committee's , recom
mendations "constructive," opin
ions varied as to whether they
would get through congress. At
the same time, the belief seemed
stronger than ever that some
sort of relief legislation would be
enacted, even if the presidential
board's findings are not followed.
Turkeys Cleaned
Up in Portland
PORTLAND, Dec. 23-;P)-Vlr-tually
all turkey markets were on
a cleanup basis today. The selling
trend was better than the supply
of hens and small toms.
Many large toms were consign
ed to freezers. While the New
York market dropped a cent on
large toms, it was firm with an in
adequate supply of hens and small
toms.
Buying prices for hens here
remained at 27 and 28 cents
with toms generally 22 and 23
cents. The small torn price ap
proached the offer for hens.

CHAPTER XV
Mother and daughter were in the
living room when Ruth Darby closed
the book she was reading and said,
"Constance, I can't read any more!
I I can't' do anything because of
the way Rosalind has treated me.
She's forgotten us, her own family!
r They've taken her completely away
from us. Your father is hurt, too."
And later that same afternoon
L. A. , Ml , .
wo vonsuuice text uie nonse ana
drove off in the old yellow roadster,
he did not tell her mother she was
going to see Rosalind.
.. Rosalind was giving her first
cocktail party.
Many ears were parked in the
driveway outside the Howard home
when Constance halted the old road-
. ster and hesitated before going in.
Gordon was probably inside. And
Avis. They had probably come to-
. gether. Wearing a pink linen dress
two ,T summers old, she hoped she
would not see them. :
. An expressionless servant admit
ted her into the large hall and left
her. : From the drawing room she
could hear gay voices - and . the
tinkling of glasses. Then Rosalind,
wearing a vivid printed frock, came
. out and closed the door between the
- drawing room and the hall. -
' "Constance, I have guests. I'm
gluing a party. .Can't you . .
"Isn't there some place where we
can go and talk?"
. Her voice was sharp with -dis-
" pleasure. "But I can't leave my
guests. Ttn giving this party. Why
didn't you telephone me? Oh, all
right. Come upstairs."
: Upstairs she opened the door into
newly furnished sitting room that
adjoined her bedroom. . Constance
thought the room, decorated in var
ious shades of blue, the loveliest
she had ever seen.
V 17 .1.' J V - ll '
chaise lounge and turned her bright
dark eyes on her.
. "Well, what is It? I dont have
. much time. And I don't see why you
couldn't have picked some other
time to come here." -
wny naven'g you been to see
Mother and Father? They're hurt
at your neglect. They are still your
father - and mother, you knew."
What an ungracious, ungrateful
Cinderella Rosalind was I
She shrugged impatiently.. "I've
been busy. There's always some
thing going on. Parties and bridge
and shopping." She stiffened.
"You've got a nerve coming up here
and telling me what I should do.
You can't boss we any more."
"I never bossed you. You had your
. way much more than I ever had
minek You know it." She nodded.
"I know you avoided me at the, dub
uatnignt. xou didn't want anybody
to know I was your sister. But the
laugh is really on me, Rosalind. I
thought I looked all right in a dress
that cost more than any dress I ever
. had. But I didn't come to talk about
i myself 0r that night. I came to ask
you to show - some respect to
Mother .. ... , . ..
"You're jealous ! "Everybody is
. Jealous of me! And you're you're
. in love with Gordon I saw it in
your face that night you were danc
ing with him. Arent you ashamed?
But he wont marry youtm
. MTU taV mm m
And she would try to manage them
. with more understanding and intel
- ligenee - than Rosalind , had.' But
Kosauna, secure, loved, and envied,
had apparently forgotten the fright,
ened school-girl of a few weeks be
fore who had tried to take her own
life. -
"IH go to see Mother," she said.
"IH call her . tonight and stop by
tomorrow. ' And for heaven's sake
don't come up here again unless
you're invited." .
, And she would never be invited...
, la the hall downstairs Rosalind
said curtly but with relief, 'Good
bye," and Constance stepped into
the sunlight, feeling as if she had
been forcibly ejected.
Just outside the two stone pillars
that led to the Howard estate she
had to swerve the ear abruptly as
another entered the Howard road.
Concerned with the poor brakes and
a wheel that was difficult to turn,
she did not notice who drove the
other car until she was a few feet
away from it and safe. Then, glanc
ing back, she saw that it was the
familiar black ear and that Gordon
and Avis were in it.
"Constance 1 Wait..."
It was only a moment before he
came but in that moment she
thought, "Perhaps I won't love him
when I see him now. Then 111 be
free! Oh, I want to be free and
happy as I was before I knew him!
I want to look Terry in the eyes on
Saturday without feeling guilty and
ashamed."
Thrusting his black head in the
roadster, he smiled. "How are you,
Constance? I'm glad to see you.
And I I miss you." His black eyes
caught hers and held them. Funny,
he thought, that his firm resolutions
were swept away when he saw this
girl. ' In Constance's lovely flecked
eyes a man might lose his selfishness
and ruthless ambitions. He had not
forgotten her and he had missed her
keenly. : And he knew that the girl
Working with him now thought him
discourteous and hard. Looking at
the other girl's colorless hair and
plain little face, he had known for
days he wanted ' Constance back,
that he must have her back ,.. ':
" "I'm fine, thank you." She kept
the motor going. "How is the book
going?" - - , S '' t
; "Not so good without you. It has
no inspiration."
She bit into her lip and she eeyld
not look at him any longer. -,
"You must find another, Gordon."
' "I can't because because you
are, Constance, and now you are
gone." - ' '
Still she did not look at him, know
ing if she did that he would see her
love and her misery in her face as
well as the tears starting in her
eyes.
Avis' sharp voice broke the little
silence. "Gordon 1"
He said, lowly, "Come back, Con
stance. Come back to me," and
walked back to his ear.' Wealth had
called and he had responded. Beauty
was driving away . . . ;
There had been other dark days
in her life but none were comparable
to these. She was two girls, one who
loved Terry Cannon, the other who
loved Gordon Keith against her wilL
And in the days that followed those
two girls fought for supremacy and
there was no peace for her night and
day. . She did not know that Roth
Darby understood the inner strug
gie and that was why she asked no
questions when Constance left the
house frequently and drove away.
.: She went to the public beach and
lay face downward in the warm
golden sand and reproached herself!
and despised herself. Terry had
offered her a tomorrow. Gordon had
only said, "Come back, Constance,"
and had offered and promised noth
ing. How was it that she eould love
a man she did not trust completely,
a man who had made a failure of
one marriage? - On one aide was
Terry, splendid and honest and who
adored her. And on the other was
Gordon, who had secrets in his life
she would probably never know and
who had never said he loved her.
And she was standing between them
being pulled toward both, knowing
that in one direction lay all the hap
piness any girl, could wish for and
in tie othershe knew not what.
' On Saturday morning she said to
her mother, "I'm going to the camp
to tee Terry today. I'll jrolahjy
stay all night. Mike Flaherty's wife
is with him and m stay in their
cabin." .
Give my love to him. And tell .
him to try to get down more often."
Soon North wood and the Hills
were far behind and the staunch
motor of the old roadster was purr
ing soundly. The day was clear and
warm. Everything would be aU
right when she saw Terry. Oh, yea.
It most be. It would be.
And that day at noon when Con
stance was turning her ear into a
rough lane flanked by pine trees and
thinking, "There must be no guilt in
my eyes when I see him, my eyes
that always give me away," Gorden
looked up over his desk and saw
Avis standing in the doorway.
"Hello," she said. Her eyes were
emeralds. She wore a backless white '
sports dress and a visor over her red
hair. "Last night you told me you
had given Miss Bond today off.
Youll probably have a score of sec
retaries before you finish this book. :
A pretty one, then an ugly one, and
then a pretty one again. Who'll be
next, I wonder? Can I entice you to
go swimming?"
His mouth amused, he looked at
her from the toes of the soft white '
oxfords to the top of her flaming
head. . --'
"Avis, you're the most exasperat
ing girl I've even known. You can
be the sweetest girl I've ever known
one minute and the next you're as
vidous as a tigress. But always
fascinating.' Getting up, he came
around the desk and stood before
her. "You've been eery sweet since
Constance left." Seeing her eyes
tender, he took her hands and drew
her to him and kissed her. "Avis,
let's stop pretending. You beat your.,
small fists, against me the other '
night and said you hated me. But
you don't hate me. You can't stay
away from this house and from me.
You're jealous of every girl I look
at." And when be had kissed her
again, he asked, "Will you marry
me, Avis?"
If she said, "Yes," then the prob
lems of four puzzled people would
be solved by a single word. It was
odd that the tomorrows of Con
stance Darby and of a young man
named Terry Cannon and his, Gor
don's, lay with Avis now.' But if she
said, "No," that single word would
bring Constance back to him . . -
Avis took her -arms from around -Gordon
and took a step back; Sud- :
denly a cloud obscured the sun and
the study was almost dark. Ever
after she was to remember the sud-'
den darkness as she looked at him,
his face very brown against the im
maculate white linen coat. - -"
They called her "The Princess"
and she hated the title with the
hatred of one who has violent like
and dislikes. She knew what people
said about her and her knowledge
for years that ahe was sought-after
because of . her wealth, that she'
could "get away with anything be
cause she waa Avis Bailey had made
ner meter and nad driven her, out
of sheer boredom, to thrill seeking
and to running away whenever she '
could. She knew - her - power !n .
Northwood. She had used it, and
found no pleasure in it She had
flirted and played and had taken
young men away- from- girls they
were engaged to and hated the men
for their infidelity and the girls
for being afraid to fight' her.
Daughter of a strong man who
had taught her to deplore weakness,
she now loved a weak, vain man,
loved Gordon, as she had never
loved any other man but as she had
always wanted to love one man. She
had fallen in love with him the first
time she had seen him that night
at the dub when ha had come la
with Van. 1 !-' ' .

Wool in Boston
BOSTON, ec. 33. (AP) (US Dept.
Agr.) The wool market in Boston was
Slow during the past week, but aentiment
ahowed a fairly cheerful tone despite the
amall demand. The better feeling among
members of the trade hss been reflected
