The shadows of swift clashing events moved in them. They were like the shadows of fierce darting fish seen through waters veiled by mist. Mist—fog. Fog came into it— fog, and a yoice. His voice? Behind the fog, strange violent things, happening .at an in- credible speed, flashing through his mind too quickly to be grasped ... like beads of light, strung on a dark chain... like’ Kid's green beads. For an instant he saw a small brightly lighted picture. The light came from above, and swinging to and fro beneath it was a string of Square green stones. They swung from a man’s hand. There were eight of them—big, square, green stones; @ double chain of pearls between every two. He saw ‘he man’s hand, and the Square green stones, and the pearls, and the light shining down on them. The voice said, “Like a kid’s green beads,” and everything went dark. Some time after this Nesta was at the door, He thanked heaven that he was up and dressed, If he had had to lie there whilst she sat on the edge of his bed and talked, he might not be able to hide the violence of his recoil. Women always bullied a man when they had him at a disad- vantage. ‘The thought of yesterday net his teeth on edge. ‘Today they 3 would meet on terms, and he try and remember th: was @ horrible one for ber.

The situation ‘was not eer nearly, but quite, intol- erable. These thoughts went to and fro in his mind as they sat at breakfast in the small hot kitchen. Tom Williams bolted a couple of rashers of bacon, gulped down his tea, and was off, saying that he would be late. The chug-chug of his motor- cycle came back through the thin, walls of the little house. ITH. recovered confidence Min , began to tell him how wonderful Tom was at almost everything— “Why, he can cook as well as I can. And every bit of paper in this house is what he hung himself.” It was a great relief to have Min’s prattle to get them through the meal. She had shy smiles for him now and no longer kept her eye on the door. So much fora shave! ~ When breakfast was over, he spoke to Nesta directly. ‘ “Is there somewhere where we can talk?” With no more than a nod she led the way into the parlor, with its saddle-back suite in bright shades of red and blue, its crimson Axmin- ster square, and its silver photo- graph frames. Into this room, so new, so garish, so commonplace, there came these two angry, incongruous people; and at once its slight emptiness became charged with strain, pressure, re- sistance. Nesta waited for him to begin. She stood with her back to the window, leaning forward over one of the red and blue chairs in a would-be easy attitude, He walked to the woolly mat in front of the hearth, and said what he had planned to say. “This is a rotten deal for you, 1 want to tell you I’m awfully sorry about it.” Heavens! How incredibly difficult she made it! His words, his efforts to get her point of vars ye back from the hard ie tufned towards ras It on Tike ping ing a fly slip on a pane.

It made it too damned dificult to feel or say the decent thing. What was she to him after all, but a stranger whom he disliked? He said, “I really am sorry,” and the room filled again with her scorn- ful silence, She stood there leaning over the back of the chair with bright close- set eyes and just a hint of an angry. io breaking the straight line of 8 | her lips. There was something secret about that smile, something that said, “Take eare—I can be even with you if I like.” He spoke before he knew what be was going to say. “Why do you look at me like that? What's behind all this?” “AhI" said Nesta ‘very softly. “You'd like to know—wouldn’t you?” (Copyright, £989, J.

COMMODITY DOLLAR AND PRICE FIKING NOW BEING CONSIDERE By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) Projects regarded by ec- onomists as bigger than the NRA, bigger than anything the government has_ under- taken this far, are under dis- cussion in confidential con- ferences in Washington. Among them is a plan for cur- rency adjustment, probably on the general idea. of the “commodity dollar,” which would recast values all along the line. Accompanying that, and in some degree coupled with it, is a proposal to greatly expand gov- ernmental _ price-fiking, perhaps} encompassing all the principal ¢omntodities. * One feature of the program is a possibility that it may become a world pré- g » providing a continuing but flexible jis ‘for both currency and prices in the in- ternational markets. Details have not been settled,| but it can be said positively that Said present stage no serious | Miane int is being. given to the is- nce 'of “printing press” mon- ey, with no definite backing. That Mr. Roosevelt has been listening to senatorial advice on that sub- ject does not mean he agrees with it. He tried to pacify the senators, who recently called on him by} promising to take some action as; soon as the time was ripe, but he} promised nothing more.

This value would have a rela tion not only on gold, but to sil- ver. The actual operation of the plan, as now envisaged, probab- ily would mean the coining of cur- trency on a basis of three parts gold to one part silver, ARRIVES IN CITY 33 PASSENGERS). ~Lioydt Reese, Frigidaire sind ie, connected with the Domestic/®"4 0.

It’s Technical The whole project is so immers- ed in economic technicalities that only the experts pretend to under- stand just how it would work out, and they do not agree. Perhaps the nearest could come to explaining it in {general terms would be to say that whereas money has been more; or less valuable in the past in re-! lation to the fluctuations of the value of gold, under the “commod- ity dollar’ system the money would be determined on the broader basis of the average value of wheat, ‘and many | | silver. }companiment to such a system | would be a broader authority for, | price-fixing. That proposed! as a method of partially control-} ling commodity fluctuations and hence currency fluctuations. No hasty decisions are likely.
