MONEY SHORTAGE UNLIKELY.

There will be no shortage OF money
this fall in the United States. This is
the belief of the treasury department
whose hand is on the pulse of the ma
TONS financial and business life. In
the opinion of officials the danger
mark, II there actually has been one,
has been left astern. They give these
reasons for their prediction OF plenti-
full money:
Primarily the banks saw what
looked like a money shortage coming
several months ago. They knew they
could expect no help from the United
States treasury, such as they got IN
1908, and prepared themselves They
have piled up gold, built up reserves
and cut down loans. Bonds or other
securities which might not be easy to
sell quickly have been turned into
money. Panics foreseen never come,
fnanciers say.
Money is plentiful in England and
on the continent OF Europe That is
always said to be good sign in ma
king a prediction for this country.
Nearly every crop in the United
States this year Is reported to be a
bumper one.
Next month, 1t is estimated, inves-
tors all over the country will receive
nearly s170,000.000 in dividend
checks from Industrial, railroad and
other corporations. That will add. of
course, to the money generally In cir
culation.
One Of the best reasons why treas
ury officials believe there will be no
money stringency is that the national
banks are preparing themselves to is
sue $500, 100000 extra currency, as
the emergency law provides, II they
have to- The common knowledge
that such an immense sum is avail
able would tend to stop any general
movement to take money out of banks
and hoard 1t in stockings.

he came out they knew as much as

Mrs. Harcourt went back to the hos

CHAPTER XIII.

Three days journey in the yacht
brought the strange cortege to a little
cluster of native villages. The river
was no longer navigable and they stop
ped to fit the yacht with queer runners
and harness it to a string OF camels
The party was transferred to camel
back, and made slow progress over the
desert to navigable water. Tired as
they all had been of the yacht, the
camel travel had become more intol-
cradle still, and even City Editor Bur-
ton welcomed the roll OF the water
again.
lie Malheureux had changed his
mind. and instead of going to Khar-
toum, at Hackleye's solicitation, they
took to the ocean for Cairo. 1t was
easier travelling on the yacht, and less
dangerous than in any other way. Be-
sides LIE Malheureux did not wish to
leave his electrical toy behind him, be-
cause there was no suitable place IN
which to lodge it. Further he had de-
clared his intention of returning to
America, and had offered to pilot John
ny Johnson and the Morrises back %
their own country, an offer only too
speedily accepted. BY now there was
no distrust of any of their odd COM
panions in the heart of the three
Americans. Even Hackleye, the tacit-
ly accused murderer of his wife. filed
certain claim upon their sympathies.
he was so bowed down by the weight
OF woe. His children seemed to be
outgrowing their temporary dislike Il
him, and a truce with them was al
ready well under way.

that wife of his" said Johnny. IT'S a
shame what an upset a woman can

with City Editor Burton who was =
more ridiculous excuse for lion than
ever, Betty and Larry made up for lost
time In love-making, and Johnny and
LIE Malheureux held high converse In
the laboratory and battery room. Be-
lore they came to Cairo Johnny was as
chock full of electrical phrases as the
X-ray machine of sparks. He gave an
electrical clinic every time you went
near him, and everybody aboard. from
Tyoga, in her neat little electrical
Kitchen, and Benoni and Meta, sitting
astern In silent communion, sped away
from Johnny and his newly acquired
knowledge. Hacl6leye was the only
lonely one aboard. He spent most of
his time in steamer chair, gazing at
the sky line in the day time and at
the stars at night. AS they neared
Cairo he became even more difident
and subdued.
His house at Cairo was a well set
up home, furnished in an odd combi-
nation of oriental and occidental modes.
and stood a little apart from the city.
The children were not well. Walters
hip was bothering him, and 1t was
agreed that it would be better to rest
a week at Cairo instead of immediately
setting out for America and England
Into the house walked Johnny one
day. At the door he met Benoni.
where's Hackleye?" he asked.
In his rooms" pointed Benoni.
johnny followed him dowa the hall.
"Benoni," he urged, why don't you
loosen up and tell us about this?
Ihere's big injustice being done
somewhere, and it isn't right. Why
don't you help us out. You've been a
big man, as big inside as you are out.

wayne family has shown itself in

cleared up; if a nest of crime exists
why can't we get at 1t and kill 1t be-
fore any more innocent people suffer
from 1t. There's Mrs. Desterle. she
never did anything to any of these peo-
ple."
she's dead" interrupted Benoni. IT
got some dispatches this morning"
Poor woman" said Johnny. what
else did you get Benoni?"
Nothing, except that Harcourt is
still in jail, that his wife has recovered
her health, and some think she is go
ing to divorce him. They say he has
confessed to having loved Cerisse
Wayne!"
"What?" shouted Johnny. Il must go
tell Larry. oh, for a newspaper" he
sighed for the ten thousandth time.
go up and talk to Hackleye," said
Benoni. He may be glad to see you"
"Benoni" Johnny said, gravely, IT
don't believe he killed his wife. II it
hadn't been that with my own eyes 1
saw Hackleye enter that bedroom
where Cerisse Wayne was found dead.
since you say Harcourt has confessed
to having loved her, I'd say that Har-
court killed her. Those two garters I
found, too, one in the Wayne room,
and the other in Haclxleyes home, bore
the monograms H. That's Harcourt's
initials, too, you see."
GO talk to Hackleye. why don't

climbed the stairway with his head as
fiery within as 1t was without, from
insistent seeking that wound up only
in blind alleys.
