Joanna Visits Eggleston. 80 Joanna, a billow of snow white ermine, nestled in- the cushions of Brandon’s limousine, went happily to the place she had called home. Went to the rooming house where Mrs. Adams lost her sleep over flapper lodgers. She thought it would be for the last time, Realization that she was rich, fabu- lously rich, like Yvonne Coutant, like a movle star, like Mrs. Delancy Jordan, with whose son Bob Joanna once had a date negotiated over his mother's shoulder at the silk counter, had set- tled at last in her groping brain. Her fight for understanding of the fantas-| tic thing that had happened to her was over, soothed away by the retrospects of the evening. The feel of the ermines against her cheeks and throat and shoulders, the nearness of Bran-| don, who wore his evening clothes so smartly, the prospects of the morrow when she would move into the aura of Yvonne, symbol of Life, throbbed through her pulses and suffused her |alert body with a gentle glow. For the twentieth time she resolved to puzzle no more about the Rource of the money, or the reason of jt. Some. thing would happen to her, of course. “The Gracious Gift of God” By H. L. GATES time for lack of a better phrase, there was but one coln with which to re- ward them—the coin that passed frankly as currency. But she didn't want Brandon to take it, and he didn't. He held her hands and looked down into her eyes, silently. gaze steadily, unafraid, but quivering a little. She had reasoned to herself that tonight she had discovered w clue to her fear and dislike of this cynical, good-liiking, perfectly poised man who impressed her always as if he was taking charge of her. It would be woman, she thought. The woman in her leaped to the defensive before him. and with a sense of futility. Kenilworth she could battle on his own ground. Brandon tortured wom- en, she had concluded. She wasn't ready. yet to meet him fairly. she met his | with a practical, “Wait until you know where you're at. I'll take my fun re- porting about you to old Good Morn- ing. I always did want to land that bird. ow that you're gone maybe I'll get a chance.” Joanna agreed that this wouldn't be a bad idea, and Georgie concluded: “Then when I've got him watch me double cross him' That is, maybe I will and maybe I won't. Who knows? He's not such a bad bird at that! Joanna was not in the mood to dis- cuss Mr. Good Morning or, even, Kenil- worth, who had ordered her to call him “Roddy” without further ado; or Yvonne, whose career from Cairo to London and America was as well known to Georgie as any other avid reader of the Sunday press, or Bran don’s insistent and sinister probing of her. Instead she crossexamined Geaorgie patiently about John. With little success Georgie was de- tached, her roving eyes engaging her attentlon with ever new splendors creeping out in the sheen or the trim or the drape of one of the new things hanging about the room. ‘e said ha wanted (0 see you and square the deal, and that he’d hunt you up tomorrow,” was all that Georgie would voucheafe With the morning Joanna had de: cided. She sent to John a brief littls note t cost her an hour. She wanted him—as always and as usual. Everything was all right. They wouldn't talk about that night when | in love with her. ment before. Joanna realized that st could practice no evasions with the great man. “I think T meant to say, some or. who will show me how to enjoy n money,” she said uneasily. “You you, nor Mr. Graydon, nor Mr. Bra don will give me any advice.

AUGUSTA, Me., November 25 (F).— The Maine State. Prison Board, in a statement last night, declared that announcerfent made at Portland Sat- urday to the effect that Thomas Mott Osborne, former Sing Sing warden, had accepted the wardenship of the State prison at Thomaston, was due to a misunderstanding. The statement asserted that Mr. Os- borne had accepted as definite a mere- ly tentative offer by the board. F. Morris Fish of Hallowell yesterday was appointed warden at Thomaston.

SANTIAGO, Chile, November 26 (#). —Returns from Sunday’s general elec- tions show that the new national con- gress will be little changed from the last one. The main losses were suf- fered by the Democrats, who dropped two seats in the Scnate and five in the Chamber of Deputies. ‘The Radicals secured 15 seats in the Senate, the Conservatives 10, Liberals, 11; Liberal-Democrats 6, Democrats % and Wage-earners 1. in the Chamber the Badicals elected 41, the Conservatives 28, Liberals 30, Liberal-Democrats 15, and Wagesarners 5, fons during | is the | mustn't think she was—well, the kind of a bell that is all clapper and no ring: She taxed him suddenly: “Why didn't you want me to go to Miss Coutant’s tonight? It would have been much easier than tomorrow. “A wholiy selfish reason,” Brandon informed her. “You're an important person to some one, you know, for some reason. Decislons you make now are of consequence. I'd rather mot have the responsibility of delivering you into anybody's guldance. Then you will not be able to tell me about it later on, if you feel like it.” “Do you think I shail ever be sorry?"” “That doesn’t follow. Certainly, hough, Yvonne Coutant represents a distinct theory of what life owes its dependents. You wouldn’'t adopt her as a counselor in the same impulse that would lend you to go in for—let us say, uplift!” | “Yet you want me to go to her, to! learn from her what to do with my | money, to spend it her way, and to| become like her?

Radio Set Manu- factures Under Investigation. neral | We what Secretary of Commerce Hoover has not been advised of Latin-American complaint of the dumping of obsolete models of radio receiving sets by United States manufacturers, it was stated at the Department of Com- merce. It is understood, however, that official trade advisers are taking the matter up with manu- facturers and some action is being obtained, especlally as they are able to point out that Latin Americans are keenly active in radio develop- ment and are demanding_ better sets. It is understood that English sets are not now competing but that Ger- man models are rapidly approximat- | ing American types and threaten the growing market in Latin America. Americans are said to be changing their tactics and unloading their old models in the United States in sec- tlons where delicates adjustment is not essential. Complaints from Cuba, Argentina and Mexioco, especially, are that two- tube sets are being sold as standard American equipment, while Peru is getting preferred treatment on ac- count of the regulations of the Mar- coni company there. This Euglish corporation, which has a contract for operating the posts nd telegraphs of Peru, has divided tne radio equip- ment market equally between the United States d England and de- mands that most modern sets be fur- nished their customers. The American quota is reported as being oversold and efforts are now belng made to give opportunity to sell more modern equipment in Peru. This example is being cited to Amer- ican manufacturers as a policy which is bearing fruit and which would be equally profitable in all parts of Latin America. i o i WELSH COAL ARRIVES. 75,000 Tons of Welsh Anthracite in New York. NEW YORK, November 26 (#).— A murky haze similar to that which haunts train sheds, daily hangs over New York City, now that soft coal is being burned on a large scale and the smoke ban s lifted. A 175,000-ton shipment of Welsh an- thracite arrived in the harbor Tues- day from overseas in eight specially chartered freighters. Additional fleets are reported on the way, which will bring 76,000 tens each week. Prices quoted ranged from $20 to $22 a ton. All sizes were represented. The prices for the new coal will be figure: _rplul the transportation charges. They are not expected to ex- ceed greatly the price beinachlr‘sd for home anthracite at present. {Buiners of sther makes! | tradequichlyfor - Studebaker wer Durability Finish | ma nodded to him silently. something had _gone from one to the other of them.

She had refused all invitations for the evening, hoth sentimental and hilarious, frank ly admitting she couldn’t leave h wardrobe at home alone. Joann threw off her mcmentary depression, the aftermath of Brandon's sente titousness, and plunged into a gay re- cital of the night's events. Then Georgie broached her own news. “John was here tonight!" she an- nounced. “‘He was at the bank toda Mr. Eggleston sent for him. M Graydon, at the store, had told Mr. Eggleston what you had said—that John had suspected the place the money came from. The bank wanted to put him right. John's got it all through his half-baked mind and he's like a bird dog that's been point- ing the wrong way.” Joanna sank onto the bed, the wisi fulness haupting her eves again. Her plans for the morrow began to crum- ble, and in their place rose something else. vague and unshapen, but before it she stood side by Then, with a petulant shake of her shoulders, she reassembled her plans, her breath. instantly and the arrogance came back into the | tilt_of her chin. “But he hurt, think—-!"" “Oh, you can_ arrange things to suit yourself,” Georgie assured her wisely. ‘“He's got six cvlinders under the hood. maybe, but only one works. I've alwaya told vou he was full of carbon. He's frightfully cut up.” “That's not it. I knew he would be, some day—it wasn't me he su pected so much as it was anyvbody, eny girl T mean, who's got knees and isn't too ashamed to show them. I'm going to——!" “What?" Georgle prompted her, but Joanna. bit her lips and wouldn't fin. ish her sentence. 8till, ight with herself as much as she might, nothing seemed to matter 's0 much as John. She had intended to spend the rest of the night packing her new things and her old, for she had no idea of sleep. There'd be lots of time for sleep when she was thoroughly convinced she wasn't asleep and dreaming anyway. She had wanted just to pack and talk to Georgie through the night and shape vague things that she planned to do for her into a definite program.
