STORY OF CREWS HERoIsM.
Captain Of 1hessaIoniki Believed Ship
Would Make Port.

New York, Jan. s.-The story OF how
the crew Of the Greek steamer Thess-
aloniki, before abandoning the vessel,
worked for ten days in from three to
ten feet of water in desperate effort
to keep steam in her boilers, was told
today when Captain Gouldandris and
the crew Of eighty-nine arrived on the
steamship Perugia.
Captain Goulandris said the behavior
Of his men was so heroic that he did
not give up hope Of bringing the
Thessaloniki into New York until the
coal supply was entirely exhausted on
Jan. 5. He declined to comment on
statements made by some Of the
Thessaloniki's 1T passengers when
they arrived here yesterday on the
PATHS, that he had refused to send out
wireless calls for assistance, after the
steamer had sprung leaks.

a. 5 closing figures. There has been
a little business worked, buI the car
situation does not permit OF working
wheat in quantity at the moment. A

local stocks we'll cleaned up.
Corn-The trade today entirely over
looked the likelihood Of a very heavy
run Of corn early next week, and vas
guided rather by reports Of export bus
mess which have been in circulation
for the last few days. Trade has not
been heavy and the market has been
in more or less of a rut for some little
time. Cash demand is poor and indus
tries are getting low grade corn at
practically their own prices.
Oats-Some firmness has been shown
in the oat market but advances have
not been material There was a very
good inquiry for the better classes Of
oats, but lower grades, especially the
bin burnt, continue to drag Country
reports indicate very heavy feeding Of
oats, and supplies available to come
forward not at all in volume with the

Representative Hog Sales.
CHICAGO Livestock Notes.


! Both quality and condition of the
steer supply has deteriorated during
the past two weeks. A lot of rough
western steers in merely warmed up
condition now constitute the bulk of
supply. Few are good enough to beat
900. and $50 has been the limit this
week. Steers selling at 7.50GS.50 have
freighted the run and the 775GS.25
grades are numerous. The popular
class Of cattle is low priced stuff SELL
ing at 6.O0G7.40 and both packers and
eastern killers are greedy for that
kind.
Steadily advancing hog prices in
Canada are enabling bacon curers in
that country to buy large numbers of
light hogs at Chicago, this operations
being limited only by slaughtering
facilities. One Toronto house has let
a contract for the purchase of 1000
bacon hogs, Weighing around 175
pounds. at Chicago daily. The differ
ence between Chicago and Toronto
prices makes payment of the heavy
Canadian duty possible and then leaves
the Toronto curer substantial profit.
Last winter the country made crop
Of heavy cattle, this season a policy
exactly the reverse is being followed.
Long feeds will be the exception, pre-
mature marketing the rule. Feeders
are utilizing soft corn and roughage as
much as possible and making no effort
to put on weight. A quick turn is
the general intention. This means
liberal receipts all thru January. but
liquidation will eventually run its
course. The market is erratic, as
might be expected under the circum-
stances. Everybody wants low priced
cattle and bovine trash is finding a
market peculiarly it's own.

CHAPTER XIV
T. Quicksands

A short week after the reclamation
service headquarters had been moved
from the log-built offices on the gov
eminent reservation to the commodi-
Gus and airy suite on the sixth floor of
the Niquoia building Brouillard re-
ceived the summons which he had
been expecting ever since the night
Of rioting and lawlessness which had
marked the close of the railroad cele-
bration.
Mr.. Cartwright would like to see
you in his rooms at the Metropole,"
was the message the office boy brought
and Brouillard closed his desk with a
snap and followed the boy to Bongras.
The shrewd-eyed tyrant of Mirapo-
lis was in his shirt sleeves, busily die
tating to two stenographers alternate.

SYNOPSIS.

Brouillard, chief engineer of the Niquoia
irrigation dam, meets j. Wesley Cort-
wright and his daughter. Genevieve, and
explains the reclamation work to them
Cartwright sees a big chance to make
money, organizes a company and obtains
government contracts to furnish power
and material. Steve Massingale threatens
10 start gold rush If Brouillard does not
influence President Ford to build a rail-
road branch to the place, thus opening
an easy market for the ore from the Lit
tie Susan" mine. On visit to Amy Mas
6ingale at her fathers mine Broulllard
tells her of his need for money to pay off
his dead fathers debts. She tells him to
be true to himself. He decides for the eX-
tension Mirapols, the city of numbered
days, booms. Cartwright persuades Brouil-
lard to become consulting engineer of the
consolidated electric power company in re-
turn for 100000 stock. Stoppage of work
on the railroad threatens panic. Brouil-
lard spreads the Massingale story of
placer gold in the river bed and starts a
gold rush. The gold rush promises to stop
the reclamation project. Amy tells Brouil-
lard that her father has incorporated the
Little Susan" and is in Cortwright's
clutches financially. He tells her he has
made 100000 and declares his love. Amy
loves him but shows him that he has be-
come demoralized. Massingale's placer
gold find was a fraud, but real find is

crowded street from the plaza to the
Metropole corner Brouillard saw and
heard things to make his blood boil.
Twice before he reached Bongras' cafe
entrance the engineer shouldered his
way to the rescue of some badgered
nucleus of excursionists, and in each
instance there were frightened women
to be .hurriedly spirited away to the
nearest place of seclusion and safety.
1t was in front of Bongras' that
Brouillard came upon Rev. Hugh Cast
ner, the hot-hearted young zealot who
had been flung into Mirapolis on the
crest of the tidal wave of mining ex.
element. Though Hosford-who had
not been effaced, as Mr.. Cartwright
had promised he should be-and the
men Of his clique called the young
missionary a meddlesome visionary,
he stood in the stature of man, and
lower Chigringo avenue loved him and
swore by him now and then when some
poor soul, hastily summoned, was to
be eased off into eternity.
When Brouillard caught sight Of him
Cashier was looking out over the
seething street caldron from his com
handing height of six feet of athletic
man stature, his strong face a mask
of bitter humiliation and concern.
"Brouillard, this is simply hideous!"
he exclaimed. "If this devils carnival
goes on until nightfall we shall have a
revival of the old Roman 'Saturnalia
at its worst!" Then, with swift blow
at the heart of the matter: You're
the man I've been wanting to see; you
are pretty close in with the Cartwright
junta-is it true that free whisky has
been dealt out to the crowd over the
bar in the Niquoia building?"
Brouillard said that he did not know,
which was true, and that he could not
believe 1t possible, which was not true.
'The Cartwright people are as anxious
to have the celebration pass off peace
ably as even you. can be-" he assured
the young missionary, trying to but
tress the thing which was not true.
when riot comes in at the door, bust
ness flies out at the window; and,
after all, this feast of hurrahs is mere
ly another bid for business"
But Cashier was shaking his head
II can't answer for Mr. Cartwright
personally. He and <Handley and
Schermerhorn and few Of the others
seem to stand for responsibility Of a
sort. But, Mr.. Brouillard, want to
! tell you this: somebody in authority
is grating upon the vice Of this com
munity, not only today but all the
time"
"The community is certainly vicious
enough to warrant any charge you can
make" admitted Brouillard. Then he
changed the topic abruptly. "Have you
seen Miss Massingale since noon?"
Eyes; l saw her with Smith, the
cattleman, at the other end of the ave
nue. about an hour ago."
"Heavens!" gritted the engineer
Didn't Smith know better than tc
