TO reassure himself, he walked between
two strings of cars As he drew alongside
one he was surprised 10 see faint light

Sitting on the floor near one end of the
car, his legs crossed, was a bearded man.
On the floor two feet in front of him was
a ta.low candle, shedding the best lighi it

1t is understood that the war between
the sugar trust and the Arbuckles and
other independent refners, is at an end;
as a matter of fact has been virtually at
an end for some time. An agreement is
said to have been entered into between
the trust and the Arbuckes in June,
whereby there would be no more rate cut
ting in either sugar or coffee. Under the
agreement, according to the understand
ing, the trust does not absorb the indie
pendent reliners but there Is an appor-
Torment Of business which will do away
with the cutting of prices. Some changes
in the sugar and coffee schedules are look
ed for about the first of the new year.
