Wheat Scarce in Mexico,

ely OF MeXico: Mexico is facing
perpeXing question in the whea,
ana nour proposition. On account OF
the crop harvested last season being
insufficient to supply the demand the
price OF wheat is steadily climbing I'D
ward. Practically all the wheat of the
Republic is in the hands of the millers
and that is not sufficient to keen the
plants in operation longer than the
end Of the present month.
There is but one way out of the diff.
hculty, according to one ,of the local
concerns. That is to allow
American wheat to come into the Re-
public free of duty. This would cause
the price to drop, as the present tax
on American wheat makes the cost
about equal to the present price. Not
only would it be the means of reduc.
n& the cost of -four, but it would also
Increase the demand, and somewhat
'Hi1en the price of wheat.

The apprehension Of Rosseau was due
to the disappearance of Owen Kelly, a

Inventor" said Dimple, as he stood
back and surveyed the result Of his
labor with q complacent smile on his
round face. Talk about frees

over anything that was ever inven-
ted 10 that line, and it's just as sim
pie as a pair Of snspenders. It's
admirably suited to these tall build
ings too. What do you think of it,
my dear?"
Mrs. Dimple eyed the queer-look-
ing arrangements Of ropes, pulleys
and wooden framework which her
husband had fitted up in the recess
of ore of the deep bay windows
overlooking the street.
Tit isn't very ornamental.
"Oh, that's what you think of it,
is it?" and something in Dimple's
voice made her wish that she had
thought twice before speaking. II
suppose il you were called upon TO
give your opinion OF an improved

that il was not built in the style oil

Dimple, it is not ornamental. 1t is
neither a cuckoo clock nor q plush
album. II you think it IS the mission
Of fire escape to look beautiful and
esthetic, you're using your alleged
mind TO mighty poor advantage. II
is clear that if you had your way
you would string these pulleys with
yellow ribbons instead of ropes, and
have a red white-and- blue hammock,
instead of this stout leather sack, to
let yourself down in.

said Mrs. Dimple, II don't quite
see how you are going TO make it
work"
"Of course you don'tl" snorted
Dimple with reddening face. "You
wouldn't be a woman IL you were
capable of grasping an idea after it
had been explained to you a hundred
times. Here I've been putting in
four hours day for two weeks on
this thing, and explaining the COM

thank your stars, Harriet, that i am
a paragon of patience and good ma
ture, and stand ready to explain to
you for the five-hundredth time the
workings of this simple continuance.
Now, see here" and Dimple,
with the air of o dime museum lee
turer, stepped forward and placed
his hand on one of the essential
parts of the tackle, "all you We got
to do, when there's fire, is to get
into this leather sack.
"Oh, my! 1t looks just like big

Never mind; it will carry females
as we'll as males. All you've got to
do is to get into this sack. Eh?
Feet first, of course. You wouldn I
expect to stand on your head, would
you? And then swing yourself out
of the window. At the same time
you must take hold of this cord.
The harder you pull on the cord the
faster you will descend, and in any
case you will be lowered to the side

And with O doleful creaking Of
pulleys, the huge bag was swung
through an open window, and be-
gan TO descend in the outer dark
ness. Mrs. Dimple leaned out OF
the window and watched with strain
ing eyes, trembling lest an accident
should precipitate her husband to
the pavement seven stories below.
Half way down, the pouch contain
ing the inventor and the valise sud-
denly stopped, and refused 70 60
farther. He pulled on the cord in
vain. Finally, he shouted to his
wife: Harriet, the rope has slip
ped of the pulley. See If you can't
fix it."
He was hanging directly in front
OF q window. which was suddenly
thrown open, and a voice yelled:
''Helpl Murderl Thievesi Policel"
Dimple's hair began 10 rise. He
jerked the cord frantically. A doz-
en- windows went up and as many
heads appeared. "Burglarsl" some
one screamed. ''Shoot 'eml Kill
'eml"
BangI Bangl A bullet ripped
through the leather bag within a
quarter of an inch of Dimple's stom-
ach. He gasped and shivered. Far
above he heard his wifed shrieking
wildly. With q despairing effort he
threw his whole weight upon the
cord, and-thank Heavenl-he was
moving again. The bag began to
go down not smoothly now, but
with awful drops and jerks and
wobblings, fitting first to one side
and then to the other, compelling
Dimple to cling to the ropes for his
life. But it kept on descending un-
til it reached the tagging, and its
terrified occupant felt great sense
Of relief as it landed upon the
ground.
But the feeling of security was
short-lived. A hand that seemed to
his excited fancy to be as big as a
Doom seized him by the collar
and yanked him out Of the pouch.
He saw a glittering star and brass
buttons, and heard a voice exclaim:
AHA! I've got We now, We thief!
Be aisy, or, it's rappin' We over the
head I'll be. Come on, Rafferty,.

being arrested for q burglar, Dim

and started to run; but before he
had executed half q dozen bounds
he landed plump into o coal hole,
which had been left uncovered
through the criminal carelessness
of the janitor, and disappeared like
a flash from the face of the earth.
The next half-hour was employed
in rescuing the hapless Dimple
from the coal cellar. When he came
to the surface he was a sight to be-
hold, bruised, begrimed and woe
disheveled. He was conscious of
being in the midst of a crowd of
excited people, of seeing his wife
and hearing her frantic explanations
to the police. Then everybody fad.
ed away except Mrs. Dimple and
the janitor, who assisted him ten
derby to the elevator.
Though limp and breathless, he
asserted himself sufficiently to say

Dimple thrust his hands into his

an expression of despair.
Mrs. Dimple, your wisdom as

is true that the rope might break, it
might break into thousand infini-

gravitation might become reversed
and drop you up to the clouds in
stead of down TO the ground. But
neither is likely, Mrs. Dimple.
