offered that there is an easy feeling

Selling OF wheat has been very
heavy for several days and there Is
much guessing az to whose wheat was
sold. There is no doubt much or II
came from scattered holders who could
not stand the punishment they were
getting, an dmuch was short wheat
sold by bears. The doubtful quantity
Is that disposed OF by the concentrated
bull interests. and IL is believed they
unloaded a good deal just what posi-
ton these big holders now occupy is
a matter OF doubt. but there is little
chance that they will attempt to do
any liauidating now. Bulls expect the
bears will sell themselves into trouble
soon. and are expecting sharp al
vance TO result.

Ii is an unusual scene that CASTOR
I.eroux has chosen for the action oil
his latest mystery story, The Phantom
OF the Opera. The events OF tho
story all take place In the wonderful
old Paris Opera. a structure contain
ing thousands OF rooms. hidden dooIs
and mysterious dark passageways III
which the ghost finds place TO hioe'
The phantom makes his home In tue
recesses of the cellars which, py the
way, form a most important though
generally unexplored part OF the
structure of the opera. There are
three OF them, the foundations going
fer down into the earth. Among other
remarkable things in this cellar 10
subterranean lake which had TO DC
left in the process Of construction ne
cause the contractors could not pump
all the water out. -.
In this setting, in the maze OF
scenery and properties used IN the
opera, the ghost has his hannts. AS
would be expected In the artistic at
mosphere of the playhouse, tho
ghost is a wonderful musician anc
with this gift OF music he gains an
influence over the young singer
Christine Daae. But the phantom has
a rival, the young Viscomte de
Chagny and this Is what causes tse
trouble OF course.
Complication begins to follow upon
complication and the supernatural
appearances of the ghost become
more and more menacing. Finally he
carries Christine away TO his nome
on the shore of the subterranean
lake, taking her from the stage in the
midst OF the performance, just In time
10 prevent her from running away
With the young viscomte.
The search for her brings in some
more thrills and uncovers more or the
cunning OF the Opera Ghost. Bns
the reader ought not know any more
about the story or half the fun Of
following the exciting adventures VIII
be lost.
OF course IL is a fantastic plot, a
story of wonderful things that do not
happen TO ordinary mortals, but Il -
cleverly put together and intricateiy
woven so that the interest is thor
oughly sustained to the end. IL is
all plausible enough, too, as you go
along, so that there Is no over
stretching OF the Imagination. II Is a
very readable book of its class.
The Phantom OF the Opera by Gas
ton Leroux, author OF the Mystery OF
the Yellow Room and other mystery
tales, is published by Bobbs- Merrill,
indianapolis, and is for sale in the
local book stores.
