preston in the security market doubt
less was an influence in wheat values
today. There was evidence OF a re-
newed inquiry on the part Of exporters
and while no figures were given we
have reason to believe that a very
good business has been accomplished.
We believe that the market has had
decline enough, and strongly advise
purchases at this level We think
that from now on the buyer will be
more anxious to secure supplies than
will be seller to dispose OF stocks
bought on good basis.

GREAT COAL VALUATIONS.

Under the present scheme of class
flying government coal land, &c.
0S9,214 acres of Withdrawn land had
been, on August l, examined in geo.
logic detail and classified by the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, accord
ing to an announcement just made.
The lands found to contain work.
able coal bed aggregated 16,S79,37O
acres. These lands, in 40-acre tracts,
have been appraised by the Survey
at a total valuation of $711,992,537,
in prices ranging from the minimum
figure stated in the coal law-$10
OF $40 an acre, according to whether
the land is located within Is miles
$500 an acre where the thickness Of
the coal beds may aggregate go, so
or 100 feet or even more.
The government valuations accord
in a general way with the market
values of private coal lands in the
West, although as a matter of fact
they are somewhat more liberal to
the purchaser. Four hundred dollars
ar acre may seem a high price for
Uncle Sans coal land, which a few
years ago might. nave been bought
for $40 an acre. However, the Geo.
logical Surveys plan of classification
and valuation contemplates that the
government should receive at least a
reasonable return for it's coal, admit
teddy the most useful rock mineral in
its possession.
When it is understood that an acre
with, say, a 4O-foot coal bed or seam
contains approximately 10000 tons of
coal, of which 10000 tons are con-
sidered to be certainly recoverable,
and an acre with 100 feet of coal
contains 100000 tons of recoverable
coal, the price asked by the govern
ment, instead OF being exorbitant,
seems, on the other hand, hardly suf-
ficient. On land having a thickness
Of so feet of coal s400 would be
five-fifths Of a cent per recoverable
ton. In reality, under the Survey
regulations, which consider depth of
the coal, number of beds, quality,
and other physical details, the prices
fixed range from 3 cents a ton for
the most easily accessible ecOver-
able coal Of the best grade down to
a small fraction of a cen a ton for
the poorer and less accessible coal.
At the minimum prices which were
in effect before the government with
drawals of coal lands, the 1~6,S73,370
acres above referred to would have
been priced at only $266,652,43l, the
difference in favor of the public rev.
enue at the new prices being there
fore $445,3AO,1 06. Under tire pro-
visions of the national irrigation a.
the proceeds from all sales Of coal
land are credited to the Reclamation
fund" so that government. irrigation
has, as it were. a considerable trust
fund for future operations.

Not without influence on his ideals
had he taken a postgraduate course
among London's Gaiety girls. He was
a connoisseur in the femininity of the

cts. Then he walked softly to a door
at one side OF the room, and opening
it a little way, called softly:
"Kananda."
A mar OF mature a came in
quietly and looked inquiringly at the
Swami. He was of portly build, but
his vigor still showed trace of the ath-
letic training he had followed in Eng
lish schools and colleges. His West

were not In surprising contrast TO his
Indian swarthiness among those who
remembered the vogue a British edu
cation had among midas petty princes

CHAPTER iV.-Continued.

"It rs a diamond"
A sweeping gesture from Sands as
he sprang to his feet flung the tele-
phone from the desk. He reached
IDonnelly in two strides and appeared
on the point of gripping him by the
throat But the big detective, for all
his bulk and mental slowness. could
be quick enough on his feet when he
must, and he readily sacrificed dignity
Ito safety. With a single backward
spring, he clutched q light chair and
confronted Sands.
It'll pay you to remember I'm an
SOf1cer!" he shouted. You amt deal
ling with club stewards here, Mr..
Sands. l know you and. know how
much o think your money a do.
but you can't put anything like that
across with me-"
Sands. breathing hard, took another
step toward him. Donnelly gr1pped
the chair for a defensive swing.
II don't care If you know a million
Mannings." said the sleuth huskily.
''If you can't behave like one gentle
man to another, it'll be the worse for
you. II you don't want to be run In,
keep away"
Mrs. Missioner's annoyance and
Dorothy's fright, NJ less than Elinor's
distress, restrained Sands again.
What does all this mean? he said
to Carson, ignoring the other. But
Donnelly was not to be ignored. His
successful defiance of a millionaire
had heightened his desire for the CEN
ter of the stage.
TT MEANS" he rasped. that we
know who took Mrs. Missioner's dia-
monds. and hat all we've got to do
now is to find the est of 'em. And

there's one bird, the flock won't be

Hardly
But Ali can't be spared from the
Missioner place. Sands and Griswold
can be watched by n man."
"Oh, yes" replied the priest Il
wish the man were a little brighter
than Ramsetjee, though"
Cant be helped-what?" anglicized
Mandy. "Ill have an eye to them in
the clubs from time to time. You look
after the social end"
yes" The Swami smiled. They'll
hardly get away from me in society,""
my word, but you're coming on!"
chaffed the Prince. Right in the
social swim. See what 1t is to be a
Swami. Dare say the Duchess of
Drygoods and the Countess de Brew
cry are heard over heels in love with
the newest Eastern mystic. Too bad
they're not In Delhi"
The Swami frowned. He refused to
laugh at a Jest bordering on lack Of re-
spect for the faith. Even the Ma
haranee's Vol feared to try him too
far in that direction.
"Omitting personality for the mo-
ment," said the priest pointedly, Il
will participate in the ~gregarious
mumm1ng Of these barbarians for the
sake Of our purpose. 1t is not we'll to
concern ourselves with the frivolous
affairs of life. We may have to do
much more serious things than we Ire

muf1ed music came to him through
the tiny hole in the floor above, Ali
rose cautiously from his crouching po-
sition and FASTENED downstairs. Next
minute, he was entering the presence
of the higher caste Fasteners with an
other profound salaam. In measured
tones, the Swami, who had resumed

priests orders with a nod.

in conclusion.
Il go, MASTER" the Hindoo replied,
backing through the portieres. He
maintained his respectful bearing all
the way along the hall, out the door,
I'M down the brownstone steps. Then,
when he had walked quickly to a
point several houses on and his face
was we'll out Of the angle Of vision
OF the conventionally curtained win
dows at the front Of the strange dwell

his features. Once round the corner,
he wheeled and gazed piercingly to-
ward the house he had quilted, as II
his eyes could penetrate the inter
vening walls.
