Mexican Officials to Lower Prices of FoOdstuffs in Capital-Merchants said to be Holding for Exhorbitant Prices.

The government has entered upon an active campaign to secure lower food prices in the capital, and to this end a meeting of the prominent mer- chants of the city has been called.
 The government is determined to take strict measures to lower the al- most prohibitive prices of first neces- sities, which are being held by the speculators, who have managed to hide tons of corn and beans, which are the staple food of the common people.
 In spite of the fact that there are thousands of sacks of flour in Mexico City, many of which are spelling for the lack of proper storage facilities, the greed of the merchants, refusing to sell this flour except at an exhor- bitant price, has placed bread almost out of reach of the poor people. De- cree after decree fixing the prices seems to have no effect, and it is well known that the Government may be obliged to use force.
 General Gonzales issued mani festo to Mexican formers in which he offered a prize of $1,000 to the plant CT in each township under his juris- diction, which includes the states of Meico, Pueblo, Morelos, Tlaxcala, Hi- dalgo, and Oaxaca, for the best plant ed field.
 Decrees have been issued to the majority of the states which prohibit the exportation of cereals, each state hoarding the new crop as a reserve. In Queretaro the Government distri- butes daily more than a ton of corn to the poor. No questions are asked
 Each woman with her basket re- ceives enough for a days supply. Long lines of poorly clad Indian wo- men throng the street in front of the Mayors office waiting from early morning until late afternoon, when the distribution takes place.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Duane left the hall. elbowed his way through the crowd, and went down the street. He was certain that on the faces of some men he had seen ill-conccaled wonder and satisfaction. He had struck some kind of hot trail, and he meant to see where it led IL was by no means unlikely that Cheseldine might be at the other end. Duane controlled a mounting eagerneSS. But ever and anon it was shot through with a remembrance of Ray Longstreth. He suspected her father of being not what he pretended. He was troubled.
 Upon returning to the inn he found Laramie there, apparently none the worse for his injury.
 How are you, Laramie?" he asked. That was d good crack Sneaker gave you"
 ''I ain't accusin' Bo," remonstrated Laramie, with eyes that made Duape thoughtful.
 "Well, I accuse him. I caught him took him to Longstreth's court. But they let him go."
 Laramie appeared to be agitated by this intimation of friendship.
 .'See here, Laramie" went on Duane, ''in some parts of Texas it's policy to be close-mouthed. Policy and health-preservingi Between our selves. I want you to know I lean on your side of the fence."
 Laramie gave quick start. Pre- sently Duane turned and frankly met his gaze. He had startled Laramie out of his habitual set taciturnity but even as he looked the light that might have been amaze and joy faded out of his face, leaving it the same old mask. Still Duane had seen enough. Like a bloodhound he had a scent.
 "TaLing about work. Laramie, who'd you say Sneaker worked for?"
 "When he works at all, which sure ain't often, he rides for Longstreth."
 "Humph! Seems to me that Long streth's the whole circus round Fair dale. I was surprised to hear some one say LOT gstrefh owned the Hope So jopt"
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-11-12

was characteristic of him to come sharp to the point. His voice-som. thing deep. easy, cool about him seemed to steady Laramie.
 "No." replied Laramie.
 Docs anybody know?" went on Duane.
 Wal. I reckon there's not one hon est native who knows"
 "But you have suspicions?"
 'We have"
 Have you any idea whether Chesel- dine and his gang are associated with this gang here?'
 Lord knows. I've always suspect ed them bein' the same gang None of us ever seen Cheseldine-an' thet's strange when Knell, Poggin, Pan handle Smith. Blossom Kane. and Fletcher. they all ride here often. No, Poggin doesn't come here often. But the others do. Fer thet matter. they're around all over west of the PecOs."
 Now I'm puzzled over this" said Duane. 'Why do men--apparently honest men-Seem to be so close mouthed here? Is that fact, or only my impressionT'
 'It's sure a fact" replied Laramie, darkly. Men have lost cattle an property in Fairdale-lost them hon. estly or otherwise, as hasn't been proved. An in some cases when they talked-hinted little-they was
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-11-12

found dead. Apparently held up an robbed. But dead. Dead men don't talk Thet'S why we're close mouthed."
 The ranger was about to speak again when the clatter of hoofs in- terrupted him. Horses halted out in front, and one rider got down. Floyd Lawson entered. He called for tobacco.
 If his visit surprised Laramie he did not show any evidence. But Law son showed rage as he saw the ranger, and then a dark Glint fitted from the eyes that shifted from Duane to Laramie and back again. Duane leaned easily against the counter.
 Say, that was a bad break of yours" Lawson said. If you come fO0ling around the ranch again therell be he'll"
 It seemed strange that q man who years could not see in Duane some thing which forbade that kind of talk. IL certainly was not nerve Lawson showed; men of courage were seldom intolerant. With the matchless nerve that characterized the great gunmen of the day there was cool, unob- trusiye manner, speech brief, almost gentle, certainly courteous. Lawson was q hot-headed Louislanian of French extraction; man. evidently, who had never been crossed in any thing, and who was strong, brutal, passionate. which qualities in the face of situation like this made him simply a fool.
 You're right. But not the kind you think" Duane retorted, his voice sharp and cold.
 Ray Longstreth wouldn't stoop to know a dirty blood.tracker like you," said Lawson hotly. He did not seem to have n deliberate intention to rouse Duane; the man was simply rancOr- ous, jealous. "Tll call you right. You cheap buffer. You four-fush. You damned interfering, conceited rangerw
 Lawson, I'll not take offense, be- 'dust you seem to Dt tEdiupiciiihS your beautiful cousin" replied Duane, in slow speech. But let me return your compliment. You're a fine South erner! Why, you're only fOur-flush- cheap bull-headed rustler!"
 Duane hissed the last word. Then for him there was the truth in Law sons working passion-blackened face.
 Lawson jerked, moved. meant to draw. But how slow, Duane iunged forward. His long arm swept up. And Lawson staggered backward, knocking table and chairs, to fall hard, in a half-sitting posture against the wall.
 Don't drawr" warned Duane.
 Lawson, git away from your gun '" yelled Laramie.
 But Lawson was crazed with fury. He tugged at his hip, his face corded with purple welts, malignant, murder ous. Duane kicked the gun out of his hand. Lawson got up, raging, and rushed out.
 Laramie lifted his shaking hands.
 "What d you wing him for7" he walled. "He was drawin' on you. Kickin' men like him won't do out here"
 That brl-teaded fool will roar and

halted Sneaker. as if it had been a bullet.
 'Longstreth. I saw Sneaker attack Laramie" said Duane. his voice still ringing. What has the court to say to that?"
 ''The court has this to say. West of the Pecos we'll not aid any ranger service. We don't want you out here. i Fairdale doesn't need you"
 That's a lie. Longstreth." retorted Duane. i've letters from Fairdale citizens all begging for ranger sery- ice"
 Longstreth turned white. The veins corded at his temples. He appeared | about to burst into rage. He was at 'a loss for quick reply.
 Floyd Lawson rushed in and up to the table. The blood showed black and thick in his face; his utterance was incoherent. his uncomfortable outbreak of temper seemed out of all proportion to any cause he should reasonably have had for anger. Long, streth showed him back with a curse and warning glare.
 "Where's your warrant to arrest Snecker?" shouted Loncstreth.
 '1 don't need warrants to make arrests. Longstreth, ycc'-c ignorant of the power of Texas Rangers"
 You'll come none of your damned ranger stunts out here. I'll block you"
 That passionate reply oi Long streth's was the signal Duane had been waiting for. He had helped on the crisis. He wanted to force Long streth's hand and show the town his stand.
 Duane backed clear of everybody.
 Men! I call on you all "' cried Duane. piercingly. .'I call on you to witness the arrest of a criminal pre- vented by Longstreth. mayor of Fair dale. IL will be recorded in the re- port to the Adjutant-General at Austin. LongStreth. you'll never pre- vent another arrest"
 Longstreth sat white with working jaw.
 "LongStreth." said Duane, in q voice that carried far and held those who heard. "An"- honest citizen of Fair dale can now see what's plain. In the two years you've been mayor you've never arrested one rustler. Strange, when Fairdale'S a nest for ruStlers, You've never sent a prison CT to Del Rio. let alone to Austin. You have no jail. There have been nine murders during your office innumerable street-fights and hOld-ups. Not one arrest. There have been law suits in your court-suits over water rights, cattle deals, property lines. Strange how in these lawsuits you or Lawson or other men close to you were always involved! Strange how it seems the law was stretched to favor your interest,""
 Duane paused in his cold. ringing speech. In the silence, both outside and inside the hall, could be heard the deep breathing of agitated men. Longstreth was indeed study. Yet did he betray anything but rage at this interloper.
 .LongStreth, here's plain talk for you and Fairdale," went on Duane. ''I don't accuse you and your court of dishonesty. I say strange! Law here has been q farce. The motive behind all this laxity isn't plain to me-yet. But I call your hand!"
