STANDARD OIL SUBSIDIARIES

Prices of Standard OIL Stocks continued
to advance to-day accompanied by heavy
buying. The action OF the market appar-
entity demonstrates that the extensive de-
cline In September and the early part OF
this month was merely a reaction from
the spectacular advances OF August last.
Atlantic Refining sold up to 900. Buckeye

Pipe Line $50 Standard OF New York 565,
Prairie OIL and Gas 305 Southern Pipe

stock were as scarce to-day as were the

close was generally firm, though Buckeye

Annabel to the Rescue.


|THAT night Annabel Chisleish
could not sleep.
i Again and again the scene Of
the evening repeated itself before
her mental vision. The dark wood, the
soft murmur. OF the ripping stream. the
dismal bowling of the dog.
What did 1t all mean?
over and over again she told herself
!.al Inal II meant nothing. That her excited
imagination % was distorting and making
stance. But, in spite of this reasoning,
some subtle instinct within her refused
70 accept this conclusion. When day.
place again and satisfy herself.
IL was fair summer morning, and
the sun shone pleasantly through the
thick branches, the birds twittered and
chased each other through the woods
and scurried up and down the tree
trunks beside her path as she hurried
on.
The world seemed SO fresh, SO fair
beneath the blue morning sky, the afr
was so full of sweet scents and cheer
ful sounds that dark deeds seemed
impossible. Gradually she found her
All the suspicious, the fears, the
dark forebodings that had filled the
night with terror took wings and fed
s%Sy: sS,s ar and & she ALMOST ALMOST laughed at her
not the kind of girl to give up or turn
back. and she advanced steadily toward
the creek in the woods. but she stopped
now and then to pick a wild flower, and
found herself singing as she walked
along.
She had left her dog at home (greatly
to his distress and wonder), and as she
drew near the creek her own soft foot
fails were the only sounds that dis
turbed the deep silence. The trees threw
lacy pattern on the ground at her
feet; a bird splashed and plumed itself
at the edge of the stream, and a chip
munk sitting on an old stone wall chat
tered and scolded at her.
Slowly, carefully, with keenly OBJ
servant eyes and perceptions sharpened
by the visions of the night, she looked
about her. But no suspicious object met
her eye.
1t was evident that her mothers ex-
PLANTATION had been the right one, and
that the work they had witnessed the
evening before was merely an ordinary
domestic arrangement. The empty milk
bottle still lay near the edge Of the

Annabel laughed little, and was
turning away to resume her walk, when
something she had not seen before
caught her eye. She returned at once
to examine 1t. 1t proved to be nothing
or great interest, merely a scrap OF
some soft black material hanging to a
thorn bush, which grew wild and
ragged, overhanging the bank above
the creek.

Aguilar, aged "a, fired two shots into
his breast Thursday morning at two
o'clock in front Of the residence Of
Felipe Villareal, in the city of Mata-
moros. The second bullet struck the
heart and the young man died al
most instantly.
Two letters were found in the
young mans coat pocket. One Of
them was addressed to MARITIME Espi-
nosa, secretary to the municipal au-
thorities. and the other to a young
lady Of Matamoros, whose name was
not given out. Neither of the lei
ters was made public. but they are
