MR.

TURNER APPLIES BUSINESS PROMPTNESS TO A MATTER OF DELICACY Morning at Meadow Brook was even more delightful than evening.

The time Mr.Turner had chosen for his outing was early September, and already there was a crispness in the air which was quite invigorating.
Clad in flannels and with a brand new tennis racket under his arm, he went into the reading-room immediately after breakfast, bought a paper of the night before and glanced hastily over the news of the day, paying more particular attention to the market page.

Prices of things had a peculiar fascination for him.

He noticed that cereals had gone down, that there was another flurry in copper stock, and that hardwood had gone up, and ranging down the list his eye caught a quotation for walnut.
