freely admitted it. but they OBJ
jected to having their grades and
their methods interferred with by
law. because they claimed they
had a right to buy grain as cheap
as they could could buy it, and to
sell it to foreigners, at least, at
any price and at any grade they
saw fit.
We have bill before the House
now. which. if enacted into law,
will standardize the grading of ali
kinds OF grain, both in the inter-
lor and for export, but there is
very little hope of it's passage i'm
this Congress, or in the near fu-
ture. Without such law, there is
only one way that the farmers
can get what their grain is worth,
whenever conditions are such
that the price is based on export
values. and that is by having
terminal elevators through which
their grain can be shipped direct
to European markets without the
Intervention of the spectators
that are known as exporters.
The exporters, in their testi-
mony ADMITTED that the price re-
celved for the grain we export,
Wnether the volume be great or
small. establishes to a large ex-
tent: and in many instances, ac-
tually establishes the price paid
to the producers for the entire
crop. and if we take as a basis,
the admitted and most modest
statement of the exporters that
their exports are undergraded at
least one grade, the loss to our
farmers through this fraud alone.
amounts to so large a sum as to
be staggering. If we place the
crop Of corn at $3,OOO,OOO.oOO
bushels and the crop of wheat at
$50, 200, 200 bushels and figure up
what it would amount to if these
enormous crops were sold at a
price representing one grade less
than they are actually worth. it
could not amount to less than
/ 800. 100000 a year.
Of course, the exporters do not
profit by this enormous amount.
but we are less interested in
knowing who gets it than we are
in finding out whether or not the
farmers actually lose it.
This is subject that think
your board can we'll afford to delve
in. for if you find the statement of
the exporters as outlined above.

would not testify against their

capital.
There was living in Van city at
that time Prince Ishkham, an Ar
menian who had formerly been use
full to the government in settling
troubles between the Turks and the
Almenians. He was asked by Jevded
to go to the villages and try to rec

ded addressed the prince in letter
as his dear friend" The prince,
unaware OF the plot, started out with
number Of advisers. The entire
party was slaughtered by a party of
Jevded's horsemen while taking lunch
at a coffee house.
At this time also there was in Van
an Armenian member of the Turkish
parliament by the name of Vramian,
who was invited by Jeyded to call
on him at headquarters. On arrival
at headquarters Vramian was arrest
ed, a large stone was tied to his
feet and he was thrown into a lake
and drowned.
The Russians were now reported on

a warning against the Armenians par

sacre in the isolated parts was car
ried by survivors, and the A,menians
prepared to sell themselves as dearly
as possible, the peaceful element as
well as the revolutionaries. Jevded
then called on the Armenian bishop
to visit him. The bishop refused.
| Thereupon Jevded descended upon
the 'rebellious" city of Van with an
army of 5000 Turks and Kurds and
called on the people to lay
down their arms, surrender with
out conditions and trust to the elem
ency OF the sultan. This offer was
made through the Italian consul.

only $50 were armed-250 with rifles

Van the ancient capital of the Ar

Armenian, was assisted by six volu1-
teer Armenian regiments under the
Armenian revolutionary, Andranig,
who had fought with the Bulgarians
against the Turks in the first Balkan
war. But long before Van fell to
the Russians, Jevded Pasha started
the work Of massacring the Armenia

Quest did not wait for another word
He jumped a rough bush of scrub on
the right-hand side, galloped over the
ground, which was already hot with
the coming fire, and followed along
down the road which Lenora had
passed. When he came to the first
bend, he could hear the roar of flames
in the trees. A volume of smoke al
most blinded him; his horse became
wholly unmanageable. He slipped
from the saddle and ran on, staggering
from right to left like a drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Le-
nora was lying In the dust. A volume
of smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already afire. A twig fell from it as
Quest staggered up. and her skirt be-
gan to shoulder. He tore off his coat,
wrapped it around her, beat out the
fire which was already blazing at her
feet and snatched her into his arms.
She opened her eyes for a moment.
Where are WEI" she whispered.
1.-THE fire."
That's all right" Quest shouted.
Wen be out of it in a moment. Hold
tight to my neck"
Say, that was a close shave" he
faltered, as he laid Lenora upon the
ground. Another five minutes-well,
we won't talk about it, Let's lift her
on to your horse, Laura, and get back
to the camp"

CHAPTER XXI.

The professor laid down his book
and gazed with an amiable smile to-
wards Quest and Lenora.
Il fear" he remarked. dolefulIy.
that my little treatise on the fauna Of
the northern Orinoco scarcely appeals
to you, Mr. Quest"
Quest, whose arm was in sling, but
who was otherwise none the worse for
his recent adventure, pointed out of
the tent
Don't you believe it, professor" he
begged I've been listening to every
word. But say. Lenora, just look at
Laura and French!"
They all three peered anxiously out
of the opening of the tent. Laura and
the inspector were very slowly ap-
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
was carrying a large bunch of wild
flowers. one of which she was in the
act of fastening in French's button
hole.
THAT fellow French has got grit, -
Quest declared. He sticks to it all
the time. He'll win out with Laura
in the end, you mark my words"
We've wired for them to meet
Craig" Quest said, after short 81
lence. Il only hope they don't let him
slip through their fingers. 1 haven't
much faith in his promise to turn up
at the professors. Let's see what
Laura and French have to say" 4.
Cant see any sense in staying on
here any longer" was French's imme-
date decision, so long as you two
invalids feel that you can stick the
journey. Besides. we're using up
these fellows hospitality"
They busted themselves for the next
hour or two, making preparations.
After their evening meal the two men
walked with Lenora and Laura to
their tent
Il think you girls had better go to
bed" Quest suggested. TRY and get
a long nights sleep"
That's all very WELL" French re-
marked, but it's only eight o'clock.
What about a stroll, Miss Laura, just
up to the ridge?"
Laura hesitated for a moment and
glanced towards Lenora.
Please co. the latter begged. Il
really don't feel like going to sleep
just yet"
T'I look after Lenora," Quest prom
ised You have your walk. There's
the professor sitting outside his tent.
Wouldn't you like to take him with
you?"
Laura glanced Indignantly at him as
they strolled out, and Lenora laughed
softly
How dared you suggest such a
thing" she murmured to Quest. DO
look at them. The inspector wants
her to take his watch and she can't
quite make up her mind about it. Why,
Lauras getting positively frivolous"
When the inspector returned Quest
handed him telegram:
To Inspector French, Allguez, N. NJ:
Very sorry. Craig gave us slip after
leaving depot. Niece disappeared from
address given. No clues at present.
When are you returning?
French swore softly for a moment.
Then he dropped into chair.

uncle told me, if anything happened
to him, that was to remain here
"And remain here she shall, as long
as she likes" Mrs. Mallory insisted.
I've given my promise. too, to look
after her. and Mr.. Craig knows that
l am an honest woman"
"You may be that" the man re-
piled, "but it's just as well for you
both to understand this. I'm from the
police and what 1 say goes. No harm
will come to the girl, Mrs. Mallory,
and she shall come back here, but for
the present she is going to accompany
me to headquarters. If you make any
trouble, | only have to blow my whis-
tie and can fill your house with po-
licemen."
I'll CO." the girl whispered.
In silence she put on her hat and
coat, in silence she drove with him
to the police station, where she was
shown at once into the inspectors Of
fee. The man who had brought her
whispered for a moment or two with
his chief and handed him the paper.
Inspector French read it and whis-
tied softly. He took up the telephone
by his side.
Say, you've something Of a find

clothes man Put me through to Mr..
Quest, please" he added, speaking
into the receiver.
The two men whispered together.
The girl stole from her place and
turned over rapidly the pages of a di-
rectory which was on the round table
before her. She found the AS" quick
ly. Her eye fell upon the name OF
Ashleigh She repeated the address
to herself and glanced around. The
two men were still whispering. For
the moment she was forgotten. She
stole on tiptoe across the room, ran
down the stone steps and fastened
into the street.
