Finishes i to Cents Up;
Export Flour Subsidy
-' ' " Is Increased
CHICAGO, Feb. JMflVThe
wheat market's most vigorous
action today was concentrated in
the first ball bour of trading
when prices rose as much as
cent, with buying based largely
on reports of better milling de
mand and a cold ware over part
of the grain belt.
Thereafter prices fluctuated ra
ther nerrously, losing about half
of the early adrance at times. The
close was within cent of the
day's high point, howerer. An
increase of 10 cents a barrel in
the export flour subsidy on ship
ments from Atlantic and Gulf
ports was announced Just before
the cloae.r , -
Wheat finished Vl- higher
than Saturday, May C8,
July C8-.
Liverpool TJtuetUed
Ldrerpool closed off to M
up, b e I n g unsettled by selling
from a large milling house.
., Export demand for North
American wheat remained Quiet
although approximately 150,000
bushels of Canadian were sold
and reports indicated a cargo of
domestic hard winter was taken
by Vladivostok on top of sales of
Pacific coast wheat to the same
port late last week. '

"Envoy Extraordinary
99
By E. Phillips Oppenheim
CHAPTER XXXV
"I must ask you once more to re
aaember," Matresser said, "that I
am here today an amateur in all the
, subterfuges of diplomacy or the con-
ventiona of political methods. If
what I say sounds well, imperti
nent forgive me. A fortnight ago,
I think it was, you succeeded in ob
taining a vote of confidence in the
Chamber by a majority of thirteen
votes. 1 Supposing you had been in
our full confidence and lost that
vote, you yourself would have been a
political derelict for the time and
Monsieur Desselin, once more a
. free-lance journalist. You both
would : possess information which,
if any of it leaked out, would have
ruined the whole scheme. To put it
plainly, for some days until your
successor v was appointed, there
would : have been no France with
whom we could deal and a hungry
press would be barking at you."
Lacheur twirled his moustache
nerrously.
"So having come to that decision,1
he observed, you took the destiny
of France into your own keeping
and legislated, as it were, for her."
"Do you complain T" Matresser
asked.!
It was a vital thrust Neither
seemed prepared with a reply.
"A single paragraph, a single
headline in one of your newspapers
or ours," Matresser continued, "and
the affair was finished. Our govern
ment would have resigned and the
moment would- have passed. As
things are at present we are in a
unique position. Our cabinet has de
. elded upon this measure. We have
n enormous majority and it will be
law before we go to the country"
J "In other . words, Desselin ob
served, with good humored cynicism,
"you are going to act first and tell
the people afterwards." .
r That is our intention, but mean
while the swing of great events wOl
have started. Germany will have
changed her government, her dic
. tator will hare resigned. She will
' become once more a monarchy, but
this time limited monarchy with
a predominant Lower- House. A
similar change in Austria will be
brought about without a dissentient
vote. Italy will follow her lead."
'a4 that faulgnifieant but still
to be 'reckoned with country
France," Desselin asked with gentle
sarcasm, "what provisions have you
made for her continued existence
. upon the map r . s ' . '
"Thank us once more for our reti
cence," Matresser replied. "We hare
no means of knowing how strong
the Royalists of France may be, but
it Is our profound conviction that
your country can never again revert
to any form of monarchical govern
ment. Tour revolution went too
deep, cut too permanently into the
heart of the people. Nevertheless,
our silence, of which you are com
plaining, has been your security. I
will oven go so far as to suggest
that our government in this instance
has acted with generosity. She suf
fered the .worst blow sines the war
at vour hands, my friends,' when
you fancied that -you saw salvation
in Italy. She stiffened her ups ana
accepted what was coming to her,
but that waa the end of the League
of Nations." r ' .
"Ton travel fast. Lord Mat
resser." Desselin remarked. "The
, League of Nations still functions. It
" still has a great future.'" ,
"The League of Nations," Mat.
resser pronounced firmly, "was
moribund from the first day sanc
tions were declared against Italy
and individual countries began to
make excuses- The League of Na-
tions waa established to act col
lectively or net at alL The first
state which shunned its responsi
bilities and was allowed to remain
- in the ranks reduced the League of
Nations to impotency." " r
Lacheur glanced at tha dock. ;
' "Lord llatresser,1 he said, "al
thorh we feel that we must offer
you err corrstulations for the
manner in which you have conducted
this amazing conversation, you are
without a doubt in need of rest. You
and L Desselin, had better go down
to Rambouillet and meet our friend
here again this afternoon. It is
necessary that we confer with the
President at once. The final object
of your mission, I presume, Lord
Matresser, is the cancellation of the
orders under which the French
Fleet is at sea?"
"Not in the least," Matresser as
sured him. "It is quite understood
at our Admiralty that that sort of
business is only a game of chess.
Automatically I hear that our North
Sea and Atlantic squadrons are
both on their way to the Channel,
which they will reach some time be
fore your heavier units. Our Home
Fleet, too, is looking forward to the
opportunity of entertaining your
people as soon as their destination
is known."
A few moments' awkward silence
ensued, but Matresser was prompt
to show that, although he had quali
fied in no school of diplomacy, he
stOl possessed a certain share of the
layman's equivalent tact
Our southern Channel ports
complain so often of being neg
lected, he remarked. I speak only
as an outsider now but I have heard
it said that a visit from the French
Mediterranean Fleet was overdue
and would probably relieve the ten
sion in certain other quarters. My
own opinion is that for two great
and friendly nations there is scarce
ly enough fraternization between
our militant forces."
"May we know your movements
for the next few hours. Lord Mat
resser7 the Premier asked. "It is
possible that the President may de
sire to see you himself.'" ;
-l snau be at your disposal,' was
the somewhat weary reply. "From
hero I shall go to our Embassy to
discover what arrangements have
been made for a temporary succes
sor to LiOTd Someroy, and I shall
probably sleep there unto I am sent
for."
The two French statesmen took
formal leave of their visitor. Neither
was willing to commit himself to
any definite expression. Lacheur
touched the belt and a secretary took
the departing guest inhis charge.
"It will mean bringing the Amer
icans back to Paris," Desselin
pointed out as soon as the two men
were alone. "The bourgtoiai wOl
be on their knees to us. One has not
heard much of this man Matresser
but ho seems honest. The whole
scheme fits in with the reports we
have had from all our agents during
the last few months, except-"
Lacheur nodded.
"Except that it was Impossible to
believe that England was not going
to ask a big price. Has she any
thing up her slee-o with Washing
ton, do you suppose T" -:--.
"Impossible 1" Desselin declared.
"No one knows better than England
that the United States army will
nerer fight In Europe again."
"It makes a great headline for
the people," Lacheur reflected.
"What do you think, my friend?
The greatest headline of the cen
tury ,
"ITfTT YEARS OF PEACE i
f..r PLEDGED 1"
Desselin was swinging his cyo-
giasa recKiessiy, us mouth was
twitching. He presented the ap-
pearanco of a man tortured with
doubts. - His fingers were upon the
gats which led into the promised
land, but fear and doubt still dis
tracted him.
"If one could only trust that per
fidious country r he muttered.
There eame a' morning after Ma
tresser's return from Paris when his
London telephone bell rang in vain,
when his servants in reply to per
sistent questions could only repeat
that his lordship had left town for
tho country Xlighty events wars
still shaping themselves, all Europe
was still in convulsions, but the dan
ger point had passed and Matresser '
and his long gray ear, with the lit
tle brown dog curled up by his side,
was racing homeward through the
early morning mists.
All that man could do he bad done.
His personal commitments he had
brought to a triumphant finish.
Matresser was a free lance, and ho
took leave of no one. He stole out of
Berkeley Square at a little before
nine in the morning. At half-past
eleven he passed through the wide-
flung gates of the Great House and
received his first shock. There in a
corner of the Park, amply protected
by every description of improvised
shelter, stood the ajuminum air
plane in which he had made his two
famous cruises across Europe. Ho
stopped for a moment, staring at it.
"How long has the plane been
there ?" he asked the lodgekeeper.
"About ten days, your lordship.
the man replied. "The same pilot
who took you off brought her lady
ship back and they have been out on
several flights. The pilot has en
gaged a mechanic from Norwich.
We understood that he was waiting
lor your lordship a return.
Matresser nodded and drove slow
ly through the inner gates and round
the great circular sweep to the front
doors. Henry Yates, his hair more
disheveled than ever and his face
one broad grin, was standing there
to greet him. Matresser descended
from the car, took his hands and
wrung them.
"All well, Henry?" Matresser in
quired. "Her ladyship has been very anx
ious to see you, sir," Yates replied.
"She is in her boudoir now."
Matresser nodded. "I will come at
once," be said.
Magda approved of her surround
ings. She followed her master down
the hall, keeping an inch or two
from his heels. ,
"Can't help it, Yates," Matresser
observed, stooping to pat tho dog's
head. "She was given to me by a
keeper at the shooting lodge and
she means to stick."
They passed on to the small re
ception room where the Countess of
Matresser waa awaiting her son.
She was seated in her usual hirh-
backed, tapestry-covered chair, her
eyes aa wonderful as ever, always -watching.
Nevertheless, he received
a shock aa ho drew near to her.
At last, my dear Ronald." aha
sighed. "I cannot tell you how wel
come you are. Why did you not warn
me cnat i might wake some morn
ing and find myself famous t"
"How did I know?" he asked.
"What .have you done?"
"It is not L dear." she answered.
"It's you."
"You have been reading those
newspapers," he remarked.
"After all, I am your mother.
He waved the subject away, his
eyes' fixed on her wasted features.
"I want to talk about you," ho
said. "This Norfolk winter has been
too much for you."
She smiled. Ton find mo
changed?" ahe asked anxiously.
"You are . a little tliinner," he
answered, "but your eyes are as
beautiful aa ever and your voice is -quite
steady." - j.
"How I wanted to see you and to
confess, dear Ronald," tho . said.
"New that we are here alone, yon
shall know the truth. Lately I have
felt ao tired at times and I have
wanted to bo at my best when yon
came back that I have taken one or I
another of these fashionable medi-
etnes of tho moment everyone is
talking about. If I lived in France
or if I were not the Countess of.
Matresser, they would be called ?
drugs. Always before your arrival :
home, I used to send to that Doctor
Lacon, whom I wish I had never
met, because I hated that you should '
find me looking old. ... This time I
have learned my lesson. ' I have ,
taken nothing. Ton see me as I am
a very tired eld lady."
