{ temed out to-day and prices swayed j back and forth within a comparatively arrow range. The bulk of the trad- «ping originated on the Moor of the ~Btock Exchange. Public fnterest in the market, measured by the volume © Of orders actuntly placed, was prac- tically negligible. Most ifterest attached to the fluctuations of Southern Pacific be- cause of the official announcement of the plan of segregation of California - oil properties, The stock failed to “hold ground. During the first hour of trading it lost nearly five points, “comyared with the closing price of Jast night. Conversely the “rights subscribe to the new stock, which \are being traded {n on the Curb mar- “ket, were in strong demand and failed fo recede in sympathy with (weakness of Southern Pacific. « There probaly is no one oulsid ‘the Southern Pacifid family who knows the valuo of Southern Pacific jull properties, A director of the com- ‘pany has given {t aa his opinion that ‘they will prove to have a value equal ‘to the value of the railroad proper. ‘These cil lands approximate 240,000 _“wores. Government figures show that “average settled olf production from , this California territory la now larger than any other section of the coun- itty. These are probably some of the fweasons why buying to-day of South- Pacific “rights and of the new on a “when issued” basis was vy houses that are known to act for Mouthern Pacific intercats. ™ Railroad stocks gonerally were tly lower. But, as stated, den!- were perfunctory. On the other Mexican Petroleum, Pan Amer- Mews Petroleum and other oll, issues were strong, Buying was accredited ‘lo the short interest. One factor which tends to make for market sta- pbility in of] shares is the steadiness “of crude oll prices. As fur as known “Ymportant producers have refused Ol Company, a Standard O11 Com- pany, in reducing the price of crude “Poll, And if the assertions. of the targe independent producers can be ‘ delleved, crude prices will not be re- duced.

Not one word was exchanged be- tween father nud me as we drove to the News office. Father had listened very patiently to my confession; how IT had been tempted In a moment of loneliness to avcept Laura Allison's invitation, how Basil had come for me and taken me to the party, how during (he trip homeward he had be- come confused by the tox, how he had swerved his car too sharply in turning 1 corner, colliding with the concrete pole, He insisted upon tak- ing a look at my lacerated forehcad which | assured him would be well within a» fow da Needless to say, [ made no mention of the @owing bowl at the Allison's, the mad dancing, the women smok- ing, the gross sensuality of it all.

Then suddenly through the pulm trees, which rose Into the oasis from the desert sands, there came the cry of an owl. This was repeated from @ little distance. In a few minutes Prince Nur al- Din, followed by a score or more of armed men, came softly into the en-, campment, and faced two mysterious strangers who had preceded hint and givef the signals. “My meekly miserable wife, she say all pilgrims sleep soundly,” spoke one, tn broken English.

There was aeshort, quick struggle, The mute broke loose, drew a knife, and lunged at Alt: but the wrestler, with a well-known trick, gave his neck a twist that broke It like a reed. The mute fell to the round, dead. SQuick—off with his robe and scart and put them on,” directed Sharazad, Ii quickly obeyed. Meanwhile great fries and pleadings were heard from the direction of the pilgrims’ tent Abu the clown rushed in to help his master. They lifted the body of Ka- taf.
