WILSON WILL SHOW
 S-HOUR LAW VALUE

Long Branch, N. J., Sept 15.- President Wilson decided today to challenge the statement made by Charles E. Hughes in recent speeches that the basis on which the recently threatened railroad strike was avert ed was merely an increase of wages for the employees.
 The president, his political advisers said today, considers the principle oi the eight-hour day vitally affected by the strike settlement, and will seek to show that while the railroad legisla- tion passed by Congress to meet the situation will give the employees at least a temporary increase in pay, the more important point is that it estab. lished the eight-hour day as the basis of work for railroad working men.
 MT Wilson expects to make clear that he will not be satisfied until Con- gress enacts into law the rest of the railroad legislation he recommended, including an increase in the Interstate Commerce Commission and a measure for investigation of controversies be- tween railways and their employees before strikes or lockouts are called.

TO join them. Lanyard attempts to dis

The Pack has forbidden the buyers TO
deal with him. He meets The Pack, but
refuses alliance with them. On his re-
turn TO his room he is attacked in the
dark but knocks out his asSailant. He dis
covers that Roddy has been murdered IN
his bed and starts TO leave the house. In
the corridor he encounters Lucia Bannon,
who insists on leaving with him: Having
no money Lucia is obliged to take refuge
with Lanyard in the studio of an absent
artist friend Of his. He locks her In a
room alone. after sleep Lanyard finds

CHAPTER XIV.
A Surprise.

A Surprise.
He had gone but block when the
window at his back was lowered and
his fare observed pleasantly:
That you, Lanyard?"
The adventurer hesitated an in
slant; then, without looking round, re-
sponded:
"Wertheimer, eh?"
"Right-o. The old man had me
puzzled for minute with his silly
chatting. Stupid of me, too, because
we'd just been talking about you"
Had you, thought"
Rather. Hadn't you better take me
where we can have quiet little talk?''
I'm not conscious of the neces-
sity-'
"Oh, l say!" Wertheimer protested
amiably. Don't be so rotten shirty.

sides, l received today a bit of news
from Antwerp l guarantee will inter

Antwerp" Lanyard repeated, mys-
titled.
"Antwerp-where the ships sail
FROM" Wertheimer laughed-"not Am
sterdam, where the diamonds fore
gather, as you may know"
Il don't follow you, I'm afraid
81 shan't elucidate until we're under
cover"
With brief hesitation Lanyard said
more placably: "All right. But where

readily find one
Thanks no. Lanyard objected
dryly IF l must confabulate with
gentlemen of your kidney, i prefer to
do it under cover. Even dressed as |
am, l might be recognized, you know .
But it was evident that Wertheimer
didn't mean to permit himself to be
ruff1ed
Then will my modest diggings suit
your" he suggested pleasantly. Il We
taken suite in the Rue Vernet, just
back of the Hotel Astoria, where we
can be as private as you please. That
is, if you've no objection"
None whatever"
Wertheimer gave him the number
and replaced the window.
His rooms in the Rue Vernet proved
to he small ground-foor apartment
with private entrance to the street.
Took the tip from you" he told
Lanyard, as he unlocked the door. 81
dare say you'd be glad to get back to
that little rez-de-chaussee Of yours in
the Rue Roget. Ripping place, that.
By the way-judging from your ap-
parently robust state of health, you
haven't been trying to live at home
Of late"
'Indeed?''
Indeed yes, monsieur! If l may
presume to interfere-Td pull wide OF

long, at least, as you remain in your
present intractable temper"

The City of Alexander the Great

products retail as fancy fresh eggs.
This large yearly turnover gives
Egypt an intimate relationship with
the Englishman's breakfast table
Dinocrates of Rhodes, architect and
friend to the famous Macedonian, laid
out Alexandria. He planned the city
as an affair Of right angles and sharp
corners, including the whole in a
parailelogram quadrisected by two
main thoroughfares. This regularity
OF city plan that Dinocrates developed
was the beginning of the school of
gridiron city building, of the imper-
sonal, strictly business city only now
waning in popularity.
The exotic Grecian city was a bat
tleground from the start. The East
and the West met and fought out
their differences to finish there
Greek learning and Greek philosophy
found refuge in Alexandria, and there
antagonized, and finally blended with.
the PHILOSOPHERS of the East. Chris
tlanity and Paganism fought some of
their most bitter battles there: and
the Jews, the Christians, the Pan
thesis and the philosophers fomented
many bloody riots, in which the tickle.

mults. In one such tumult the sur
passingly beautiful pagan priestess,
Hypatia, was torn to pieces 10 glut a
british populace.
The famous AleXandrian library
was the bridge between the culture of
classic Greece and the culturaI needs
of early Christian and Mohammedan
Europe. Much of its treasures fl
tered through to the Moors and TO the
Christians through the scholarship of
Rome. The library was DESTROYED in
the war flood, which followed the rise
of the religion from the desert: and
the burning Of the great book treas
ury has been keenly deplored by
scholars of each generation succeed
ing.
In the latter years of the eighteenth
century the city was held by the
French. It had sunk to the status of
small village under centuries of
Mohammedan misrule, having a popu-
1ation of less than 1000. Under Mo-
manned Ali, the wise and cunning AL
bantam, it regained much Of its pros
perity. English control of the city's

1882, since which date a new city
has been developed, and one that bears
a greater degree of relationship to the
West than to the East.
