PAGE TWO DEVELOPMENTS ARE AWAITED BY STOCKS Kail Agreement, If Reached, May Send Market Up Sharply Naw York, Jan. 23.—The subatao tiai loan recorded in many porta of the iat in Fridav cloeing trading brought nervous offerings in today's early transcations. While a slightly firmer tone emanifested itself beforee the aeloee of the short session, a lack of Interest eras apparent, and trad ing circles appeared Inclined to await further constructive nears . develop ments. Steel producers are watching the Chicago wage conferences with mom than usual interest. Further economies by railroads probably would release buying orders for rails and other steel products and this buying could easily assume large proportions as many roads are urgently in need of near equipment. The business out look Is Uheiy to contine the key to market trends. While business records of the week were not particularly cheerful in character. it is by no msahs the rule for the first half of January to give cleat indications of the oapandlng volume of business which in most yean* produces the highest peak of the year in March and April. (Look for increased reinvest ment support around present levels wttk the improved technical position of the market warranting sharp re sponse to favorable news develop ments.

On the train to Detroit, Marcia meets Turner Gilmore, a secret service official who becomes interested in her and take* Mcr to dinner on her first evening in the city. He Is very hondsome and important, and Marcia is quite ex cited over Mis attentions. Gilmore tells her that he intends to introdstce her to some of Mis Important friends in the city, so she bays an expensitw gown tor the occasion. He takes her to the home of some scrollhy friends. Meanwhile, an airplane lands at a private Held in the Canadian tcCds. and three men discuss the imminent danger of a government official on their trad. During the evening at the Bethurelts, OUmore tells Marcia about his lonely life as an orphan and his struggle to succeed alone. Eugene Cam peau, the aviator, has been see ing Titian regularly, but this %ceek he fails to come as KSnai. and she is lonely. When t reeks have passed without a word from him. she con fide* to Ted'Jiow much she loves him. Marcia mentions Titian’s love for the strange aviator to Gilmore, who has his own suspicions but says nothing to her. He files over into Canada for two days, calls her on his return to invite her to a back common party at Jean Bothtcell’s. She is required to wear pajamas, so she goes shopping for a new outfit. {SOW OO OS WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 24 LUCK went wtthvher. A selection from a large stock could not have resulted more satisfactorily. Marcia found a white crepe creation' that suited the occasion perfectly. There were large motifs es Mack satin, sitched with white, and eet at an angle to one side of ttie front and back, just below the narrow ML The widely flared trousers were edged with black, and the three-quarter flared sleeve* were faced with wide bands of the same. A large square onyx pin. eet with a ch* of diamond, held the scarf tie. and completed the ensemble. There was also a huge white chiffon handkerchief with black polka dots that surely belonged to It. and the white pumps with Mack trim, which she already wore, could not have been more suitable. An hour later, she met Turner, happily serene in the knowledge that she had met the requirements of the party ad mirably. His glance told her that she was right. He wore white flannels and sport shirt open at the neck, with black-trim white oxforda The night was very warm. He looked younger, and even more debonair than upon the previous occasions when she had seen him. "You are never a disappointment, are you?" he was delighted. “I’ve been thinking about you a great deal this week, and found that I missed you very much. Did you happen to think or me a little?" "Os course. I did." she was pleas antly matter-of-fact. “I hope you ac complished what you wanted to do." His head turned In a quick nega tive gesture. “Not much. It’s a tough proposition. Any news from home?" be remarked carelessly. "Oh, yes! I was Just reading a letter when you 'phoned. And that reminds mo that 1 didn’t even finish It,” amused. "The inference being * he prompted. "That I forgot about the letter frmn Ted when I heard from you," she con fessed. "Poor Ted. He has my sympathy." "Well. I had read most of It—at least, the most Important part of It. He wrote about Vivian. It aeems that her aviator has disappeared, an suddenly as he appeared. And the poor kid Is ah broken up over tt.” "Is that so!" Turner exclaimed, thoughtfully. "But he may fly around again ir.y time," he adaed. "It doesn't look like it." Msicla ex plained. "You see.

JANUARY 23, 1932 “Where did you learn to twim so well?" aud carried under her arm a huge ivory dice that must have measured a cubic foot. A group of men and girls were chattering tn the flood lighted court that had been trans ferred Into a giant play-board. Mar cia was enchanted with the novelty of It. when Jean explained that the game was to he played by the men versus the girls, who were the human “pleceo." that would change their positions as the dice decreed. Fifteen gorgeously pajama-dad girls, and fifteen mew took their places on the board, while a player at each end of the court rolled the dice. The game developed a great deal of hilarity, argument, and com ment Wit sparkled, and spirits mounted, encouraged further by the drinks that were dispensed at a buffet table oo the lawn, where a variety cf refreshments were to be had be tween gomes. Excitement was keen. Marcia was astounded at the size of the stakes, and the glibness with which the opponents “doubled" them. Apparently, their eagerness to win was not prompted by the need to win, ao much os by the Inherent urge of the gamble. Dollar stakes that were doubled, resulted In the ex change of yellow banknotes, and left Marcia breathler* with the audacity of it. At one time when Turner was one of the players wtw“* hud the girls for hla pieces In opposition to Jean, who used the men, the game neared the deciding point, with each of them having a single piece on the board. Marcia was Turner’s last "woman on board." The others stood around the court and cheered. In so conspicu ous a moment. Marcia rejoiced that she had made that especial effort to find the right pajama costume. Stand ing at the point of the painted pin nacle, In the flood of the searchlight, and with a group of socially promi nent young people watching her. she was grateful for her beauty, too. Such moments justified It. There were sev eral minutes of competitive excite ment. while Jean and Turner rolled thetr dice In unsuccessful turns. "Tato te ’em. Jean. Cali ’em sweet names." the girts shouted. ’Take me off this board. If you lov* me," Jerry begged with mock despair. Jean rolled a one and a five, and kicked over the dice with exaspera tion. The white cube rolled over saucily, and showed the three which she needed to win. “These dice have no sense of loyalty, tonight" she de clared. Turner made elaborate gestures of Invocation. “Be good to your papa now ” he coaxed, holding the huge dkr *u hi* arms, and kissing them both be for* ha rolled them over the gran "Marcia doesn't want to stand there all night you know. What? A six!" b* shouted. “Well. Jean. I'm the champion. All ready to be hon ored and decorated. What's the prize 7“ "Your choice of the bathing suits, so you might get one that will m you. Everyone Into the pool. After that there will be supper on the ter race." Again.

Shouts nnd laughter arose above the sound of plunging and splashing, water bails flashed in all directions Marcia could not win the race against Turner, of course, bur as she climbed the ladder Just behind him to rest on the ledge, he extended s hand to help her. They sat swinging their feet in the water, and watching the others. “Where did you learn to swim well little prairie girl?" he asked, pleased at her achievement. She wrinkled her nose roguishly “Paddling around In the muddy little river that struggles past its toward the Mississippi. Nothing like this." she flung out her arms. “Bui every thing serves Its own end. doesn t It! Nothing we ever do or know Is lost good or bad.” "That’s right, but not many people know that. So they never get ver> far. They just sit. and wait for what they want. and pass up the (title things that would lead to It. I can see that you never let anything gc by. Life has been full for you. and always will be." "Well. IPs always been busy, all right." "And Is this some of th* world yoc wanted to see. MarclatT* “Part of It." “Do you like It?" “Oh. IPs wonderful. Turner!" sh« emphasized the words by flinging her arms up and clasping them Dekmc her head, with her face turned up t< the black vault of the sky. in s ges tur* of rapture. “So are you.” She turned to look at him. swiftly questioning. She opened her lips tc speak, then closed them. "What Is It?" he prompted. She hesitated for an instant, thee confessed, “1 was Just wondering— why you always say those romonttr things to me when there ts an audt ence around—when we are alone, and yet not alone. When we are alone you usually don’t say much *t aH." He looked away from her and over the brilliant scene. When he replied his voice was very low. "Perhaps— because I don’t trust myself tor much." Marcia caught her breath sharply So that was it! Was that why Ted too. never attempted to make lov* tc her? Were a!! men like that? No. she decided, lots of fellows made love to the girls who would let them There must be something about her self that held men so alooL They Mid words with their tips, and oto quent tbinga with their eye# wham they were In the pre sene* of others— and maintained a changed ■lienee whan they were alone.
