The two men began to run.
There followed a thrilling chase.
Jones engaged a motorboat and it was
speeding seaward when the two pur-
suers arrived. They were not laggard
There was another boat and they made
for it.
"A hundred if you overtake that
boat said Felton's strange companion.
FELTON, eyed him thoughtfully. There
was something familiar about that
voice. e
Great plumes Of water shot up into
the air. It did not prove a short race
by any means. 1t took half an hour
for the pursuer to overhaul the DUR

the air in hopes of terrifying Jones' ell
gineer; but there was five hundred
dangling before that individuals eyes.

ed the butler.
The engineer let down the speed a
notch. The other boat crept up within
twenty yards. Jones sought q perfect
range. He would have to find this spot
again.
"Surrender!" yelled FELTON,.
In reply Jones raised the precious
box and deliberately dropped it into
the sea- Then he turned his auto
matte upon his pursuers and succeeded
in setting their boat afire
All this within the space of an hour.
During dinner that night (there was

dining table, rubbing his hands to-
gether from time to time.
"Jones," said Florence, why do you
rub your hands like that?"
"Was l rubbing my hands, Miss
Florence?" he asked innocently.

saved him. He is faithful and uncom-
municative. Money will not touch him.
If he does know where that million is,
hot irons could not make him own up
to it. The only way is to watch him,
follow him, wait for the moment when
he'll grow careless. No man is always
on his mettle; he let's up sooner or
later
"He is being watched, as you know"
Vroon nodded approvingly. "The cap

money. He was in one of the water

''They tried to pump him on that,
but he shut up. Well, we have agreed
that FELTON, shall watch from the street
and Orloff from the window. Orlo1f
will whistle If he sees Jones removing
anything from any Of the rooms. The
rest will be left to Felton,"
"And, FELTON,, my friend" said
Braine softly--he always spoke softly

FELTON, bowed respectfully and made
his exit. He wished in his soul that he

iron hand which ruled them and there

COTTON RECOVERS
 AN EARLY LOSS
Close Is Steady At a Net Decline of 9 to II
 Points

| New York. February o4-Nhile still mere or less unsettled cotton recovered all early loss during today's trading and 2 to Il points.
 Liverpool did not fully respond to yes teroays local decline and prices here opened steady at an advance of 1 to points, but there were a good many over- night selling orders around the ring IS well as some further offerings from southern sources. The market quickly weakened under this pressure and before the end of the first half hour active months sold to 10 points net lower or about 70 to S5 points below the high level of last month.
 Liverpool was very big buyer on the decline, supposed 10 be for the purpose or covering straddles made about month ago when May contracts here were sell ins 7S points under May-June in the Eng lish market. The difference this mori- ing was about 1,34 points, and the foresgn buying was active enough to absorb the early offerings.
 Prices soon rallied in conseuuence and sentiment around the ring became slight- ly more optimistic, owing to the reports tfat Ihere had been no change in ship ping conditions and the failure of southern selling here to become active enough to suggest any general weakening of the spot situation.
 There was renewed investment buying, as well as covering of shorts on the ad- vance, which carried prices about to II points net higher.
 Rumors that the allies might declare all German goods liable to seizure on tbe ar fol -od l,,+, ton during the middle of the afternoon and reactions to a little under last night'e closing figures. but were not confirmed and the market rallied again in the late tracing on renewal of active Liverpool buying and covering. Closing prices were the best of the day.

MARKET DISPLAYS SOME RESISTANCE Stocks Recover Sharply After Early Period of
 Depression

New York February 24-Stoeks mani fested moderate degree of resistance to- day. prices recovering sharply in the aft ernooi. after an early period of depres- sion and closing with numerous fractional gains. Professional selling was less ag- gressive, the short interest proceeding more cautiously in consequence of devel- cinnents which denoted a lessenng of the strair in the foreign situation.
 As matter of fact it was generally recognized that the persistent selling of the past few days had made the market somewhat vulnerable On the bear side According to impartial observers. the short interest is out of all proportion to the amount of business transacted this being evidenced in the scarcity of stocks during today's covering movement
 Foreign selling of stocks was less marked put offerings of high-class bonds continued, though on a smaller scale, with less depreciation of values. London g market for internatonals was more steady, much of the foreign selling emanating From Amsterdam. which indicated further German liquidation.
 AS usual, most of todays moderate overturn occurred In the first hour at the lower level of prices. During that time the shares of the roads traversing the cotton states exhibited greatest weakness, both Louisville and Nashville nnd Seaboard Air Line repeating minimum quotations.
 Foreign exchange was again a disturb 1ng element, demand bills on London fall ing to within a fraction of the low record but making substantial recovery later Reichmarks sold under all previous quo tations and foreign money markets were 1e. ersh. presumably as result of the British chancellor's statement regarding the status of Russia s finances
 Advices respecting the steel industry were increasingly cheerful, almost all leading mills operating at greater per centage of capacity but with little im- provement in prices. Copper was at standstill with some shading from re- cent quotations.
 State and municipal bonds figured to an unusual extent in todays dealings. mostly at slight recessions. Total sales, par value, were S2,36l ,000

Under this firm closing of Liverpool the mar ket quickly advanced. to break again under another rumor about contraband, finally closing steady at s to 10 points higher.
 It would seem that the decline was about over, but 1t must always be re- membered that we are subject to all sorts of rumors, and that the local fcel- ing Is bearish, though there Is a better demand from splnners on the decline
