THE DICE OF CHANCE.

David Manley was decidedly un-
happy. And his detected spirits were
due entirely to the fact that he had
fallen under the scornfu1 displeasure
of certain adorable young woman
who had caught him in a deliberate
and unwarrahted falsehood
The downcast Davy wandered over
the great country house searching
in every nook and corner for some
trace of his missing pet. AS he
crossed the threshold Of the gunroom
he stopped short and stood silently
Watching the alluring picture before
him. For, down on her hands and
knees, her FURNISHED hair in charm
ing disarray, was Margory Golden
romping with the errant and tickle
Sandy. The clumsy puppy circled
madly about his newt found friend in
a pretense Of avoiding capture by

expected my Dav

But it was an easy matter for the at
tackers to dodge these clumsy mis-
siles, and it was evident that at best
only a brief respite could be gained
by this medieval method Of warfare.
One of the gangsters drew a DELHI
crate bead on the exposed figure of
the Laughing Mask, but Legar struck
UP his arm before he could fire.
II want to snare those birds alive"
Margory heard him grinly announce.
Then, with a concerted rush, the
besiegers of that rocky citadel COW
cred the remaining distance and came
swarming over the rough-hewn bat
Elements. The Laughing Mask threw
protecting arm about his slender
comrade and stood waiting for the
shock of hand-to-hand conflict. But
even as communicating hands were
reached out toward the shrinking
girl there came the sound Of many
feet pounding along the ridge.
BEAT it, the bulls are commit"
shouted one of the gangsters as a
group of flying figures charged down
upon them. Out of that inferno of
raging fighters whose lurid oaths were
punctured by revolver shots and the
crash of heavy clubs on thick skulls,
two men detached themselves and
made a quick dash for liberty. The
scar-marked fugitive, with two de-
tectives close at his heels, succeeded
in reaching the highway Here he
seized upon the motorcycle belong
ing to David Manley, and the next
moment it's chugging explosions woke
the echoes, as with a flying leap he
was in the saddle and rocketing down
the road.
The other refugee, who wore yell
low mask, was honored by the hot
chase Of the russell faced Captain
Bracket himself. Making straight
for a huge, round bowlder standing
in solitary isolation, he outstripped
his somewhat portly pursuer and
lodged around the globular mass of
stone.
A little later that self-possessed
young woman was sitting peacefully
on the wide and shady veranda OF
her fathers homo when David Man
lev, still in his cycling togs, came UP
the steps toward her. In his arms
was a lumpish and wriggling collie
puppy. Margory fxed on MIN q stern
look of interrogation.
what were you doing at Seven
Oaks Hill this morning?" she in
uuired brusquely.
Davy's eyes fell before the direct
gaze of his inquisitor.
81 haven't been near Seven Oaks
Hill today" he replied slowly, after
a little pause. Il have been over
at Aunty Kicks ever since l talked
with you this morning. I thought
you might change your mind about
wanting a puppy, so I picked out
the best Of the lot for you."
AS Margory rose to her feet there
came into her face an expression OF
intense scorn.
"This Is the second deliberate false
hood you have told me-" she replied
making each word stab, "and I dc
not care to accept gift of any kind
from your hands," AS she finished
speaking the wrathful girl turned and
swept into the house, leaving a sad
dened young man absently holding a
sprawling collie puppy in his arms.

WILD ADVANCE IN WHEAT.
December Option Gains Eight Cents in
Closing Hour Of Trade.

December Option Gains Eight Cents in
Closing Hour of Trade.
Chicago, Aug. 15.-The wheat mar
ket made another sensational advance
on crop damage reports today. De-
cember options, forty minutes before
the close, had advanced an extreme 8
cents, from $1.Ss to s1.46 cents
bushel. September, less active, rose
from $1.35, where it sold early to $1.42.
Later December sold at $1.46k and
closed at $1.45&. September closed at
s142. The net advance with yesterdays
close was Az cents for September and
Az cents for December.
The advance began with the reitera-
tions of a we'll known expert that the
latest reports showed that the recent
government report, which sent prices
up II cents a few days ago. had not
exaggerated crop damage. On top Of
this came statement by the Manitoba
minister Of fagriculture that the damage
was worse than previously estimated.
Bernard Snow, an expert. whose
name has been mentioned in connection
with possible Investigation in the
rise in prices said:
"Today's market is a full answer to
any question IS to whether there has
been anything artificial in the action Of
the grain market"

Washington. Aug. 1b.-Orders for
the remaining mobi1ized units OF tha
national guard to proceed to the Dor.
der have been suspended by the war
department. No official explanation
has been made but 1t is known that
the delicacy Of the railroad strike sit
uation has been the moving considera-
ton.
The suspension Of the orders which
would have moved some $4,000 men to
the border should not be taken as an
indication that the presidents negotia-
tons with the railroad brotherhoodS
and the railroad managers have taken
an unfavorable turn, but Is measure
Of precaution. 1t was considered high
ly undesirable that all the remaining
guardsmen should be moved to the
border while there was possibility Of
a railroad strike in which they might
be needed to preserve the peace.
1t Is clear that the suspension Is not
a revocation OF the orders and, II the
railroad strike situation clears up, the
troops will be moved to the border
line.
The official explanation Of tho

difficulties Of Transportation and equip
ment suddenly developed have made q
delay necessary.
Recommended by Funston.
A telegram from General Funston
disclosed that the general recom-
mended the suspension Of tho orders.
The telegram follows:
I'm view Of the possibility Of q
general railroad strike desire to call
attention Of the war department to
difficulties that will follow IN MAIN
tanning food supplies. These border
states produce but little fod stuffs ex-
cept cattle.
In view Of tho foregoing. I recon-
mend that the National Guard organi-
cations about to start for border sta
tions be retained in their mobilization
until such time as the general strike
shall have been determined"
