jumpy sort Of state to blab every
thing. We must get you out Of the
country If necessary.
IF I could only get out Of London"
said Haslam. "I'd like to go to north
Yorkshire. I know the country bet
ter"
Pretty near to Falconhurst," said
Sartoris.
But the other was eager to go.
"All the better" said he. ITS the
last place they'll think Of looking for
me. But I have no money"
well, I'll let you have ten pound
note-you can catch train from
Kings Cross tonight-and dodge
about the country until you feel safe
and wire me where you are"
Sartoris lent the weakling a coat
and cap Of a decided sporting cast as
a disguise and had his servant show
him out the back way.
Then he settled down to leisurely
enjoyment of his coffee. His man re-
turned in a few minutes, however,
with the information that the young
woman from Falconhurst wanted to
see him." He was inclined to dodge
Myrtle, but, thinking that she might
have a bit of stable information, or
dered that she be admitted.
The thought that she might really
be able to help him get bit Of ready
money made Sartoris so gracious to-
ward the sister of the jockey that he
took her into his arms.
"Ah, Myrtle, my dear little girl" he
said.
"You are glad to see me, Greville ?'
she asked tenderly.
"Of course" returned Sartoris, but
have you anything to tell me? You
know I'm devilishly hard up and need
little tip"
"I have something to tell you," she
began.
About the horses?" he asked
eagerly.
About myself" she said. MY
brother-Harry- how 1t is
with me. He follows me everywhere"
IF he comes here-young cub,
clustered Sartoris.
Don't call him that" demonstrated
the Jockeys sister HE knows because
he loves me. He's read it in my face.
Oh, Greville, keep your promise to me
and make me your wife before 1t is
too late"
My dear Myrtle" he protested,
I'm a beggar. I can't keep myself -
us that all? Is it only money?
"If 1 were a rich man I'd marry
you tomorrow"
"Then-then-if 1 show you a way
to become rich," she said eagerly.
At his quick exclamation she went
on:
IT swore that I'd never tell you an
other stable secret, but to make you
rich-to marry me-yesterday they
tried The Whip"
with what?" he asked tersely, his
stable sense alert
Silver Shoe" said the girl.
He whistled.
THAT would tell them," he said.
She's a flyer"
1.-The Whip won, pulling double,
by twenty lengths-back her." the
girl advised.
Twenty to one! It's a fortune!"
exclaimed Sartoris.
But do it at once" the girl con-
tinued. IT heard his lordship tell
Harry he meant to do the touts this
time-that he would tell the world
himself directly the horse started TO
Newmarket"
"When's that?"
Tomorrow, Sunday night. They're
going to put a horse box on to the
fast train that comes through Falcon
hurst at 720."
All the greed of Sartoris' small ma
ture was aroused, and, not realizing
the self revelation and satire that his
own words revealed, exclaimed:
Myrtle, you're a Al little girl-a
dear, sweet little girl"
"And you'll marry me?" she ques-
toned anxiously.

Foreign News-There are scarcely
enough foreign items to make a para
graph. The British are still striving
to reconquer India, and although the
fame Of the Anglo-Saxon prowess
has been upheld, the natives display
far more bravery and skill than met
the heroic Give and the diplomatic
Hastings. Sir Colin Campbell has
recently had a narrow escape with
his life from imprudently venturing
too far without an escort. The French
emperor has been fired at by an in
fernal machine. He escaped unhurt,
but several officers Of his escort were
wounded-two Of them mortally. Gen.
Request, aid-de-camp Of the emper-
or, was also wounded. The conspir-
ators were Italians and many arrests
have been made.

cient. Ifsit be found that smaller
competitive units in industry can pro-
duce commodities more cheaply. or
even as cheaply as monopolistic units,
and that they have other and greater
advantages than those claimed for
the monopolistic or. trust system. then
the problem is finally settled in favor
Of the competitive system, and the
chief argument for the regulation iof
monopoly is destroyed Thisto is.a
scientific question of fact, and it Is
the plan Of the. bureau to Investigate
this questions yots nSKsas ~
while 'fromia governmental point
OF view there areGyarious aspects Of
the trust question which are of great
Importance, such. as the relation of
trusts to popularR government and
theirsleffect on theesocial, and eco
ncmic conditions Of labor, there are
two aspects of 1t which are peculiar
ly within the domain of the bureau.
namely, the effect upon the cost Of
production and distribution and the
effect upon the price to the consumer.
at is contended by some that with
the increase in the size of Industrial
enterprises there goes a :reduction in
o.
the cost Of extraction, manufacture,
and distribution, and that such re-
duction in cost is accompanied by
lower prices to the1 consumer an:
does not involve aireduction in wages
or an impairment Of the conditions
OF labor. l55
Even II these claims were true
The question would still remain Of
course, whether the evilsresulting
from large combinations would not not
be greater than the alleged adyan:
tages of cheaper production and dis
tribution. IL is contended,s on the.
other hand. that the source and ori.
r. 4 ~ I
gin of monopoly Is found chiefly In
the desireto exploit the general pub
lie by stock jobbing schemes for the
immediate profit OF the promoters, or
for the purpose Of obtaining control
OF the market and exacting unduIy
high prices from the consumer.
Many large combinations have
tailed and demonstrated their eco.
nomic inefficiency. Combinations
which have obtained control Of the
market and ii Is admitted, have pros
pered hut this Is alleged TO be due 10

TO superior efficiency. According TO-
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-02-21

those who hold this view; there is a
point beyond which the increase in
size of operations does not result in
IN increase in economy and efficiency
but rather in loss and waste, SO that
the maxium efficiency is not attain!
cd by large combinations, but instead
by concerns of moderate size. IL this
latter contention be. true, then, as has
been said, the monopolistic system
contains in itself the seeds Of its own
decay. 3.
Again, sons of those who dispute
the superior efficiency Of large COM
binations contend that this claim is
made merely as a blind for the pur.
pose of selling watered stock. They
say that such Organizations are es.

Fmetely with obtaining asmonopoly;
in the second case they are chiefly
concerned with selling; the stock, and
as they can not claim to the general
public that it has great value due
co monopoly, they are obliged to find
another selling argument, namely, su.
perior efficiency.
"of almost equal Importance with
the determination of this question OF
comparative efficiency is that Of tile
price policy Of sucli large Industrial
combinations as have achieved a sub.
lIstantiali control of'the market. Those
who allege that such Industrial en-
terpriscs result in greater economy
and efficiency in production often
overlook the equally important ques-
tion whether or not they absorb all
the benefits Of such economics in in
creased profits without conceding
any share thereof to labor in higher
wages. or TO consumers in relatively
lower prices or improved quality Of
goods. etc. The determination of the
facts in respect to this question also
might not be such as to establish
broad cancellations or conclusions,
but the Importance of having the
facts is none the less obvious
