its course. Now the players were not so
sure of their lines. From time to time
the voice of Tommy, prompting, reached
Quaile. 1t was clear that the strain in
creased.
Quaile counted the minutes during the
second entr'acte. He watched hypnoti-
cally as the curtain rose on the third act
The piece ran quickly toward the big
scene. He longed for McHughs power to
stop the play before it should be too late.
He had seen Carlton die precisely as
Woodford had died. Now Wilkins, for
the first time,, would follow those direc-
tions, would repeat those lines.
1t wasn't to be borne. He agreed with
Barbara and Dolly. 1t was like murder
to drive Wilkins to that point.
With an effort he restrained his desire
to cry out. He recalled McHugh's clever
ness. The man must know what he was
about.
Wilkins made brave defense, but the
panic against which Joyce had warned
him was frequently discernible in his
voice and his actions. His control, how
ever, was greater than Cartoons had been.
Nevertheless his strength seemed to have
evaporated. He was like one who has
suffered from destructive fever.
Dolly's eyes sought again-perpetually
sought something she never saw. Bar

bara's steady watchfulness of Wilkins
was no less disturbing. As il her glance
included nothing else, she stumbled about
the stage, supporting herself when she
could against pieces of furniture, clinging
now and then to the draperies across the
doors.
This increasing apprehension, this un-
willingness to proceed, impressed itself
upon the audience. Men and women
made restless movements, glanced at each
other uneasily, commenting in low tones.
But more than any one else Joyce ap-
peared moved. He was bent far forward
over the railing of the box. His fingers
were white and tense against the red vel
vet. His glance was absorbed by Wilkins.
ALMOST before Quaile realized it, the
= company, for the first time since
Cartoons death, had entered that tragic
scene. 1t was the genuine anguish of
Barbara's denunciation that aroused
him. As Wilkins strobe to the mantel-
piece and snatched up the heavy candle
stick, his gesture had the abandonment
of a blind despair. Dolly screamed her
line:
aMarjoriei Look out!n
Quaile started from his chair. The cry
had the broken ring Of dreadful SINGER

have few hundred dollars to invest.
Can you give me a list of good 500 bonds
of electric light and power companies which
are available?
HNE of the most difficult features
about investing money is to know
just what to buy when you have
saved the money and made up your mind
to invest it. There are thousands of bonds
and stocks, and even the experienced bust
ness man hardly knows how to choose
among them. This is where the skiful
bond salesman comes in. A little per-
suasion at the right moment has great
weight with person who is doubtful and
puzzled by multiplicity Of offerings and
possibilities. But most investors would
rather not be too much persuaded by in
terested parties.
Many readers of this magazine are not
satisfied with general suggestions as to
what class of securities to buy. They
want to know exactly which stocks or
bonds to decide upon. Of course, it is
desirable for investors to learn to act upon
their own initiative and learn the differ
ence between sound and questionable
offering. But, at the same time, it is pos
sible to name in this article quite num-
Der of 500 bonds that are regarded as
safe.
The reader must remember that the
prices quoted are subject to change, and
that dealers who have supply Of bonds
this month or week or day may be out of
them later on.

A Good 800 Bond

A LIST of good 500 bonds is given on

For You (Which will be sent on request
and cents in stamps. An excellent $1O0
bond not mentioned in that list is the
American Telephone & Telegraph col
lateral trust 4 per cent. 1t may be bought
for $92, and comes due in thirteen years,
which is neither too long nor too short
time for bond to run. This works
out nearly per cent. on ones money,
and there is probably no bond easier
to sell at any time. The company owns
the Bell Telephone lines, and pays 8
per cent dividends on $4OO,0O0,O 600 of
stock after meeting the interest on its
bonds. There is no question as to their
safety.
There has been considerable increase
in the supply Of 500 bonds in the last
few months because of the forced return
of the best American securities from
England. This supply has consisted
mostly Of railroad bonds Of very high
grade The supply Of $500 bonds, mostly
railroad issues, also has been increased

from the same cause. Any one who
wants an absolutely safe bond to pay $40
year had better purchase an Atchison
adjustment at about $425. Not only is
there no flaw in its safety, but it is the
sort of bond that can always be sold or
borrowed upon anywhere.
Another telephone bond is the Potomac
Telephone Company of Virginia first
mortgage per cent. This is part of the
American Telephone system, and the
bond is quoted at this writing at $9S.75
for 500 issue. None of the bonds 1
have yet mentioned are those of electric
light or power companies.
One of the strongest of the big holding
companies owning light and power plants
is the American Gas & Electric Company.
1t has an issue of bonds obtainable in 500
units. They are not secured by mort
gage, but even the stock of the company
is highly considered. The bonds pay
around so per cent. Another strong
company, the American Power & Light,
also has 500 bonds that pay well. Still
other large and we'll known companies,
like the United Light & Railways and the
Wisconsin Edison Company, have 500
bonds to pay practically per cent. As
rule, to obtain as high as 6 per cent. on
a light and power company bond, one
must invest in q company newly formed
or in Southern or Southwestern State,
or where the bond is not an absolute first
mortgage. A large number of companies
operating in the Southwest especially
have issued small bonds to pay 6 per cent,
and these companies seem to be prosper
GUS. 1t is difficult to give list Of such
companies without appearing to dis
criminate too much, and SO it seems bet
ter in this article to speak chiefly Of larger
and better known companies.
Three very well known companies en-
gagged in manufacturing that have 500
bonds are the General Electric, New
York Air Brake, and Lackawanna Steel.
The first named has long been one Of the
strongest corporations in this country.
No bond could be safer than its 81 per
cent. debentures, to be had in 500 pieces.
These cost about $S2 at which price the
percentage return is around ~. The
other two companies are exceedingly pros
porous at the present time with war or
ders, and in any case their bonds would
hardly be affected by cessation of war
business. Lackawanna Steel pays SIS on
bond that costs about $94, and the New
York Air Brake Company pays s. year
on bonds which now cost $103.

Members of Pacific Coast Tribes
Base Contention on Treaty
Signed in 1855.
INCLUDES THRIVING CITIES
Investigation Shows Treaty Never
Was Ratified, and Governments
Copy of the Document Has
Not Yet Been Found.

Mansfield, Ore.-George WATSON, a de
scendant of a former chief of the
Coos Bay Indians, and Arthur P. Fen
ton, former examiner of inheritance
for the Indian service, will lay before
the president and congress a claim tt
1,792,000 acres of land embraced in &
strip along this section of the coast
40 by 20 miles in extent and includ
ing a number of flourishing cities
and industries.
This land the Coos Bay, Lower
Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians claim
as their own by original right Of pos
session and by treaty made with Su
perintendent of Indian Affairs for the
Territory of Oregon, Joel Palmer, al
Empire, in the year 1855.
Witnesses Still Living.
There are a number of Indians alive
who were present when the treaty
was signed at big conclave follow
ing the Rogue River Indian war and
disturbances on the Coquille river
Those who remember the great gath
ering of Indians and the signing OF
the treaty were children of from eight
to fourteen years, and their knowl
edge of the conditions of the treaty
is only that which was talked about
by the firesides among their elders
at that time.
There were present representing
the several Indian tribes at Empire
when the treaty Of peace was signed
and the agreements concluded and
given into the hands of Superintend.
ent Palmer, Chief Taylor of the Low.
er Coos Bay tribe; Chief Jim Tyee
and Chief Jack Rogers of the other
Coos Bay tribes; Chiefs Supina, Joe
Scott and Umpqua Dick Of the Lower
Umpqua tribes.
The Oldest Indian now living who
remembers the agreement and was in
Empire during the council is JEFF Har.
ney, now resident on the Siuslaw riv.
er. He tells many interesting things
about the gathering and says that
Doctor Drew, an Indian agent, was
also a participant in the meeting.
Matter Investigated.
Senator Lane and Representative
Hawley of Oregon already have made
research in the affair and found a
letter from President Buchanan ad.
dressed to congress when submitting
the treaty to that body for ratification
in 1857, two years after it's being
signed. Senator Lane is reported
also to hare in his possession a true
copy of the treaty as preserved in
some history written shortly after the
Empire gathering.
1t has been established that the
treaty was never ratified, nor has the
governments copy been found as yet,
but the Indians consider the treaty
was made in good faith and therefore
feel the government should keep faith
with them.
The exact demands which the rep
resentatives of the Indians expect to
make upon the government have not
been outlined, but it was learned they
hold themselves entitled to between
100000 and S1O,O00,OO0.
