had just been swung up into his
windy niche, but had not yet discard

which saint of the calendar could look
so grotesque, when SOUND drew his
attention sharply to earth. 1t was a
small sound. but there was some
thing strange about it. It was start
ling as a flash in a summer sky.
Besides the workmen, there was no
living thing in sight on the hillside
except his own taXlcaD, swinging
slowly up the avenue at that moment,
and q covered motor-car getting up
speed a square away. Even as the
car approached, Hambleton decided
that the strange sound had proceed
ed from it's ambushed tonneau; and II
was, surely, human voice OF distress.
He stepped forward to the curb. The
car was upon him, then numbered
heavily and swiftly past. But on the
instant of it's passing there appeared,
beneath the lifted curtain and quite
near his own face, the face of the
singer Of yesterday; and from pale,
agonized lips, as if with dying breath,
she cried, Help, help!
Hambleton knew her instantly, al
though the dark abundance of her hair
was almost lost beneath hat and flow
ing veil, and the bright, humorous ex-
preston was blotted out by fear. He
stood for a moment rooted to the curb,
watching the dark mass of the car as
it swayed down the hill. Then he
beckoned sharply to his driver, met
the .taxicab half way, and pointed to
the disappearing machine.
Quick! Can you overtake it?"
I'D like nothing better than to run
down one O. them Dock machines!"
said the driver.

Steam for the Soil,

For year or two past certain grow
ers of tomatoes, cucumbers and SINH
lar vegetables for the London market
have been injecting steam into the soil
with view to destroying insects and
slugs. It is reported that the plan
works very we'll for that purpose, but
the operation brought to light an I'M
expected fact--namely, that the soil
thus treated increased greatly in fer
tility: so greatly, indeed, that the ordi-
nary amount of manure cannot be
used afterward
This effect has been explained as be-
ing due to the sterilization produced
by the steam, which kills the phago-
cytes or protocol which in ordinary
circumstances keep down the number
of bacteria in the soil whose opera
tons are beneficent in turning organic
nitrogen into plant food.-Harper'

CHAPTER Ill.
Midsummer Madness.


The driver of the taxicab proved
to be a sound sport.
Five minutes of luck, aided by
nerve, brought the two machines
somewhat nearer together. The mo-
tor-car gained in the open spaces, the
taxicab caught up when 1t came to
weaving its way in and out and dodg-
ing the trolleys. At the frequent mo-
ments when he appeared to be losing
the car, Hambleton reflected that he
had it's number, which might lead to
something. At the Waldorf the car
slowed up, and the cab came within
few yards. Hambleton made up his
mind at that instant that he had been
mistaken in his supposition of trouble
threatening the lady, and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
into the custody of those starched and
lacquered menials who guard the por-
tails of fashionable hotels.
But it was So A signal was inter
changed between the occupants Of the
car and some watcher in the door
way, and the car sped on. Hamble-
ton, watching steadily, wondered.
"If she is being kidnapped, why
doesn't she make somebody hear?
Plenty of chance. They couldn't have
killed her-that isn't done"
And yet his heart smote him as he
remembered the terror and distress
written on that countenance and the
cry for help.
Something was the matter" mem
DRY insisted. There they go west;
west Tenth, Alexander Street, Tenth
Avenue
The car numbered on, the cab half a
block, often more, in the rear, through
endless regions of small shops and
offices huddled together above narrow
sidewalks, through narrow and wind
| ing streets paved with cobblestones
and damned with cars and trucks,
squeezing past curbs where dirty
children sat playing within few
inches OF death-dealing wheels. Ham
bleton wondered what kept them from
being killed by hundreds daily, but
the wonder was Immediately forgot
ten in new subject for thought. The
cab had stopped, although several
yards of clear road lay ahead of 1t.
The driver was climbing down. The
motor-car was nosing its way along
nearly a block ahead. Hambleton
leaped out.
"Of course, we've broken down.
he mildly inquired. Deep in his heart
he was superstitiouSly thinking that
he would let fate determine his next
move; If there were obstacles In the
way of his further quest, we'll and
good; he would follow the Face no
longer.
'If you'll wait just minute" the
driver was saying, until | get my kit

But Hambleton, looking ahead, saw
that the car hae disappeared, and his
mind suddenly Aeered.
Not this tA1ne," he announced.
''Here, the meter says four-twenty-
you take this, Tn off" He put five
dollar bill into the hand of the driver
and started on an easy run toward
the west.

and in other large cities until they
bring extortionate prices is suggest
ed by the fact that there are millions
of dozens of eggs being held in cold
storage while consumers are paying
as high as so cents a dozen in some
cities. Seventy-five cents dozen for
fresh eggs is being demanded in New
York, where there are between 25,-
100000 and 3O,OOO,OOO dozens of
eggs which have been boarded in
cold storage plants for months.
In this city there were 100000
eggs in cold storage plants up to a
few weeks ago when about 100000
dozen were sent to New York when
the price of eggs jumped out of sight,
the Chicago holders being eager to
get into a field where the profits are
so large.
The retail price of eggs here ranges
today from AZ to 46 cents, after
climbing steadily all week. A repre-
sentative of the Austin Cold Storage
Co. admitted that this supply is being
held in the belief that the price of
eggs will be forced to go cents before
Christmas.
Rep. John M. Nelson of Wisconsin,
who recently headed a House probe
into cold storage operations, stated
that the conditions surrounding the
reported corner in eggs, presum-
ably to bring extortionate profits to
those behind the corner, appear al
most identical with those disclosed in
the governments suit against the
Elgin Board of Trade. This suit con-
cerned butter.

only illustrates the general difficulty
of lowering the cost of food products

though supreme efforts have been
made to lower food prices, the ulti-
mate consumer will never feel their
benefits"
Before the House interstate COM
MERGE committee today is a proposed
law, fathered by Representative Ware
of Pennsylvania, aimed to put the
cold storage trust" out of business.
The bill is on the committees calen-
dar- for early consideration at the
December session of Congress.
Under penalties of $1,000 fines for
every offense, the Ware bill would
absolutely prohibit shipment of eggs
held in storage over ten months. 1t
also proposes that all storage prod
ducts, whether. held ten days or ten
months, shall by stamped, labeled or
marked cOnspicuously showing the
exact time they have been stored.
Another far-reaching clause is that
proposing an elaborate cold storage
inspection system by the Department
of Agriculture, and providing that
monthly reports of amounts of prod
ducts on hand be made by every
warehouse and published by the gov
eminent.
