another step might precipitate him into
the Thames.
He strove to peer about him, but the
feeble ray of the lamp was incapable
Of penetrating the fog. He CROPPED
with his fingers right and left and
presently found Shiny wooden steps.
He drew himself closely to these and
directed the light upon them. They
led upward. He mounted cautiously
and was clear of the oily water now
and upon a sort Of gangway, above
which lowered green and rott1ng

Obviously the tide was rising. and.
after seeking vainly to peer through
the fog ahead, he turned and descend

flooded the cave of the golden dragon.
Max pulled the keys from his pocket
and unlocked the door at the foot OF
the steps. He turned. resting the elec-

tables and, lifting Helen Cumberly,

His remarkable physical resources
were at an end. It must be another's

stopped over Gianapol;s and turned his
head. The crooked eyes glared up at
him deathly.

he whispered. "You tried to make
peace with him.
The sound of mufied blows began to
be audible from the head Of the steps.
Max staggered out Of the cave Of the
golden dragon. A slight freshness and
dampness were visible in it's atmos-
phere, and the gentle gurgling Of wa

was a new quality come into it and
strangely an old quality gone out from

An unfamiliar sound had begun to
disturb the silence Of the catacombs.
Max glanced at the white face Of Helen
ICumberly, then directed the ray Of tho
little lamp toward the further end OF
the apartment. A steady stream OF
dirty water was pouring into the cave
Of the dragon through the open door
ahead OF him.
Into the disk Of light leaped, fantas-
tic, the witch figure OF the Eurasian.
She turned and faced him, threw up
both her arms and laughed shrilly. In

strides he found his foot splashing in
water. An instant he hesitated.
Through the corridor ahead Of him
sped the yellow figure, and right to the

Max crossed the threshold hard upon

U. S. TO FIX FOOD PRICES
Famine May Become Reality Unless
Worlds Harvest Fields Meet Sit
uation, o. U. Head Says.

Columbus. O.-Gov. James Al. Cox
told Ohio Farm Directors, in session
here. that the Federal Government
will fix minimum prices for farmers
products. The state is powerless to
act, he said. Reports submitted indi-
Gated that while many farmers have
decided to produce more food, others
have contented themselves by saying
they will do no more than usual be-
cause labor is too hard to obtain. The
Governor. when discussing price fix
ing. admitted it would have it's draw
backs, but defended the substituting of
the farmers on the ground that it
would have some compensation, as it
would also enable the Federal Govern
ment to prescribe maxinLm prices.
The Governor said it is time for the
Government to place the heavy hand
of regulation on prices for food prod
ucts as a means of defeating the food
spectators and those who manipulate
prices" He said the farmers them
selves should not be permitted to
name the prices, which may be consid-
erably lower than the market prices.
The Governors appeal to the farm
ers came after members of the state
organization of 55 district supervisors
had spoken.
Concluding his appeal, the Governor
said the world is asking the farmers to
provide food "for those who are fight
ing the battles of democracy"
President William o. Thompson, OF
Ohio State University, who presided
said the nation has never been really
hungry and therefore does not know
what it means. He emphasized the
extreme food shortage and said that
famine may become a reality unless
the worlds harvest fields meet the sit
uation.

WAR FUNDS ARE PROVIDED
United States Senate Approves Great
est Budget in History Without
Dissenting Vote.

Washington.-The war finance bill,
providing for issuance of $1,000, 000, 900
in securities-the largest single war
budget in any nations history-was
passed unanimously by the Senate.
After seven hours of discussion the
Administration measure, which was
passed by the House, and which pro-
vides for loan to the allies of 3,000,-
100000, was approved by the Senate,
with a few changes, in record time.
The amendments may necessitate a
conference, or the Senate changes may
be accepted by the House. In either
event the executive branch of the Gov
eminent conducting the war with Ger
many will, within a few hours, have
authorization for the great war chest
at its disposition.
To expedite action, the Senate APP
pointed conferees to act if the House
should not, contrary to expectations,
accept the Senate changes. OF the "a
Senators present every one, including
all those who voted against war, ex-
cept Senator Lane, of Oregon, who

SHIPMENTS TO NEUTRALS
Will Not Be Banned Under Export
ReguIations-First Object Is to
Provide for Americas Needs.

WashingtOn.-In any policy that
may be adopted to regulate the export
of food supplies during the war the
American Government has no inten-
ton of interfering with shipments of
supplies of European or other neutral
nations, except where assistance to
Germany is likely to result. This was
learned after Minister Van Rappard
of The Netherlands had conferred with
President Wilson on the subject. Rep
resentatives of other neutral European
countries have displayed anxiety on
the point as result of the entrance
of the United States in the war and
the introduction in congress of bills
giving the President authority to place
embargoes on exports.
Food exports will furnish one of the
principal problems to be taken up with
the British and French commissions
now en- route to Washington. The
general policy of the American Gov
eminent is to take cognizance of the
serious food situations existing in sew
eral European neutral nations, al
though its first object will be to pro
vide for the needs of the American
people and assist as far as possible the
Entente allies.

mis- face, and his friends felt the long
desired moment Of repentance had
come.
