lieve that It would never open again.
BY noon the trading panic had ex-
hausted itself a little, though the lobby
and cafe Of tho Metropole were crowd
ed. and anxious groups quickly formed
| around any nucleus of rumor or gossip
In the streets.
Between one and two o'clock, while
Brouillard, Leshington and Arson were
hastily eating a luncheon sent over to
the mapping room from Bongras', Har-
Ian drifted in.

ington grufly. whats doing. and

Nobody, and nothing much" said
Harlan, answering the two queries as
one. THE town Is falling apart like
a bunch of sand and the getaway has
set in. Two full trains went east this
forenoon, and two more are scheduled
for this afternoon IL the railroad peo-
pie can get the cars here"
"'Good-by, little girl, good by

hear the report OF the flight.
But L%eshington was shaking his big
head moodily. Laugh about 1t II you
can, but it's no Joke" he growled.
when tho froth is blown away and
the bubbles quit rising. there are going
to be some mighty bitter settings left
in the bottom OF the stein
you're right, L~eshington," said
Harlan, ~gravely. What we're seeing
now is only the shocked surprise Of 1t
as when a man says OUGHT before
he realizes. that the dog which has bit
ten him has a well-developed case OF
rabies. Well come to the h%ydrophobic
stage later on"
BY nightfall OF this first day the edi.
tors ominous prophecy seemed about
to reach its fulfllment. The avenue
was crowded again and the din ard
clamor was the roar OF a mob infuri'
ated. Brouillard and L%eshington had
lust returned from posting a company
of the workmen guard at the mixers
and crushers, when Grislow, who had
been scouting on the avenue, camo in.
Harmless enough yet" he reported.
TITS only some more OF the getaway
that Harlan was describing. Just the
same, it's something awful. People
are fairly climbing over n another

with no possible hope Of getting a
train before some time tomorrow
Transfers are charging twenty-five
dollars a load for moving stuff that
won't find cars for a week, and they're
scarce at the price"
Leshington, who was not normally
profane man, opened his mouth and
said things.
IF the Cartwright crowd had one
man in It with q single idea beyond
saving his own miserable stake!" he
stormed. What are the spell-binder:
doing, Crizzy?"
The photographer grinned. "Cort

Enthusiastically, adding: "They love

your letters to them as for my k
The bride-to-be, seeing that he has his
heart set upon it, is reluctant to say
him nay.
In the far-off boyhood home the old
folks are greatly excited over the JOY
full intelligence that Charlie has really
consented that the honeymoon OF his
bride and himself shall be spent with
them. They inspect the spare room
carefully. Are the old-fashioned FUR
niture and the faded carpet good
enough? Aunt Hester turns up her
nose at the query. IF she's a sensi-
BILE young woman, she will take things
as she finds 'em. If she's an upstart,
you couldn't please her If you refur-
nished the place from top to bottom.
My advice is to keep her In her place
from the first minute she crosses the
threshold. If she sees she can boss
and can get the upper hand, you'll
have trouble with her from the start"
With this and sundry other warnings
ringing in their ears, the old couple
await the coming Of the suspicious day
and the bride and groom with fear
and trembling.
Father goes to the station to meet
them. Instead of the buxom young
woman they had somehow pictured
her to be, he beholds a frail young
thing in bridal gray-from gray tulle
hat with its pale blush rose to the
smart pearl-gray boots and gray
gloves. The lovely apparition almost
takes his mothers breath away. No
wonder such a lovely girl had taken
her boys heart by storm. She feels
a timidity about approaching and Of
fering a kiss to the beautiful city girl
even though she had just welded
her Charlie.
Aunt Hester frowned her disapprov-
al of her on sight. She'll want to
sit right down and be waited on like
a queen" she whispered sharply In
her sister-in-law's ear. you'd better
let me manage her" She led the
bride up to her room to inspect 1t
while mother and son were crying and
laughing in the same breath in each
others fond embrace. Quite as soon
as Aunt Hester gets the bride alone
she proceeds to take the starch out
of the stuck-up thing" as she men
tally phrases it. "You won't find this
a hotel, an there's no maids to wait
on you, so you'd better be prepared to
do for yourself. We eat breakfast al
eight o'clock sharp, and you'd better
be on hand. If you want any eggs
cooked any ~new-fangled way, you'll
have to do the cooking of 'em. II II
rains, be sure to pull down those win
dows. Goodnight"
The little bride does her best tc
keep back her tears as Charlie strides
briskly into the room. Didn't yot
love the old folks on sight, kid?' hi
asks blithely, continuing: 81" knew
you would. And isn't Aunt Hester the
dearest, kindest soul In the world
We will have a delightful honeymoon
here. Everyone will make it so pleas
ant for US"
The bride kept her own counsel. Sh'
wasn't so sure about happiness. Sh'
wished she hadn't consented to spent
her honeymoon with husbands rela
tives.

a letter to a prominent stakeholder
here. and the other is brought by an
other large stockholder, who returned

QUESTION OF TITLE
OVER LAHAINA LAND

Bishop Henry Bond Restarick and
Guy Gere were called into a consul
tation with the land commissioner to-
day regarding a portion of land at La
haina. Maui, on which the Episcopal
parish house stands, and which is
claimed by the territory. The land
was received by the church from the
Bishop Estate several years ago in an
exchange. and the question of title
was not brought up until work began
recently on the Lahaina swamp.
Gere. representing the estate, will
leave tomorrow for Maui to look over
the land and following his return here
will probably report at meeting of
the directors II is said that if the
territory can prove claim to the land
the estate NAV be required to make
restitution to the church for that am
cunt.

CAR SHORTAGE KEEPS
SWITZERLAND WAITING
FOR SUGAR IT REQUIRES

.fBy Walter H. Schult of Berne,
Switzerland, in consular reports
Eleven thousand tons of Java sugar
are On the high seas en- route Tor
Switzerland via Rotterdam. A part
OF the cargo will come by rail on Ger
man cars, while the rest will be snip
red via the Rhine This will be the
first time, it is said, that the Rhine
has been used during the war for the
supply of Switzerland. Two shiploads
of American sugar are at Nantes
awaiting rolling stock for transporta-
ton to Switzerland The existing SUI
gar shortage in the country, it is
stated, will not be overcome by these
arrivals, as the preserving season is
at hand and greater quantities than
usual are required.
To a lack of rolling stock and not
to a universal sugar shortage is the
present serious condition Of the Swiss
sugar market attributed The situa-
ton has now reached such stage
that the wholesale dealers or the eoun-
try have petitioned the government to
introduce sugar cards. The people
have been cautioned by the govern
ment to economic in sugar. New
regulations regarding the use OF SUI
gar in the manufacture of sweets ana
drinks have been also adopted to
eliminate all possible waste.
SwitzerIand's trade in American
sugar is a development of the past
year. In the twelvemonth ending
June 30, 1915. but 10 pounds, valued
at So, were shipped from the United
States to Switzerland and none at all
in the four fiscal years Immediately
preceding. In the six months ending
Dec: 81, 1915. however, the American
customs records show exports TO
Switzerland of 17.36J.53o pounds OF
refined sugar, valued at s627,021; in
