There are many people who see
in the action OF the people toward
the meat trust an incipient revolu-
tion which will extend to other
trusts as 1t gathers strength. II that
should prove true, fortunate indeed
will this nation be IL 1t can be car
ried to a successful termination
without merging into more destruct-
i've methods than the refusal to eat
meat. There is no denying
the fact that the trusts---and in
speaking Of the trusts we mean all
combinations formed for controlling
prices--are responsible for the grad
nal Increase In the cost OF living,
and that the present social and eco
nomic conditions are the result. III
the fight is won by the people econ
omizing on the consumption OF trust
articles OF merchandise until they
force concession In prices, well and
good. as no one will seriously suffer
from the change. The meat trust
happens to be first to fall under the
ban Of the people who are engaged
in the revolution against trust tyr
any and II It is successfully con-
quered-as 1t will be ii the people
stand by their guns and eat less
meat another, and another OF the
trusts will fall In front OF the army
OF peaceable and orderly revolution
lists, as they march forward against
the common enemy. The night IL
in the hands Of the people and II
they do not win It no one but
themselves will be to blame. There
10 sufficient evidence to show that
It Is not the retailer who is declar-
Ing SO per cent dividends, but the
big packing house combines, and
while the retailer may be temporar-
ily affected by the dropping on OF
business, the trusts are hardest hit.

her head out of the open window of the cab.
Quick, quick" she exclaimed. Il am being fol-

Mr.. Smith knew the voice perfectly. The haste in

flung open the door of the vehicle just as another
cab came whizzing round the corner. Mr. Smith
glanced back once. dropped down into the seat be-
side the yelled woman and banged the door.

The driver evidently understood; for there
the clatter of gear, hastily enmeshed and the taxi
began to move. Immediately behind them the other

hand chilled with terror, met Mr.. Smiths in the
darkness and chung. An odd thrill shot up Mr..
Smiths spinal column and he laughed nervously.

umphantly. Then Who is it following you? Why?"
II don't know; but L Look!"
She interrupted herself with cry of dismay. Mr..
Smith whirled in his seat and there, peerng in the
open cab window, directly his shoulder, was the
face of-M. Remi! He had jumped for it and
standing the running board outside. The girls
fingers grpped Mr.. Smiths desperately her slender

The little taxi fairly leaped of its tracks and
lost instantly in a cloud of dust. Mr. Smith

the woods just as the pursuing taxi swerved round

of the trees he stood looking after it for moment
then, grinning cheerfully, strobe off through the
forest.
