JOINT ACTION PROPOSED
 TO FIX WHEAT PRICES
Negotiations Between United States and Canada to Establish
 Maximum.

Ottawa, May i.-Announcement was made in Parliament yesterday by Sir Thomas White, the minister of finance, that plans are under way for joint action by Canada and the United States to reduce the price of wheat
 Sir Thomas said the price of four wheat or any other necessity could not be regulated by the Canadian government alone. To be successful. the regulation of food Lrices must be the simultaneous action of the United States and Canada, he de- clared.
 He said that Sir George Foster, the Canadian minister of trade and com merce, now in Washington, is dis cussing with the American author ities the fixing of maximum prices for wheat on the whole of the North American continent.
 Sir Thomas will leave for Wash lngton at the end of this week to relieve Sir George Foster, who is representing Canada in the confer enees between the representatives of the United States, France and England.

 T don't mean l am worrying about MT. de Spain at Medicine Bend" dis claimed Nan with a trace of embar- rassment.
 T know what you mean," smiled Bob Scott. She regarded him ques- doningly. He returned her gaze re- assuringly as if he was confident of his ground. "Did your pony come along all right after you left the foot hills this afternoon?"
 Nan opened her eyes. How did you know came through the foothills2"

 "No." He paused. Her eyes seemed to invite further confidence. But after you started it would be a pity If any harm came to you on the road"

 Did you follow me down from the hospital tonight?"

 'Tll see that he doesn't see him first"
 Even De Spain himself, when he came back the next night, seemed hardly able to reassure her. When she had told all her story, De Spain

placed himself at the mountain-mans side and between him and the street sunshine. It was taking an advantage, De Spain was well aware, but under the circumstances he thought himself entitled to good light on Dukes eye.
 De Spain wore an ordinary sack street suit, with no sign of a weapon about him; but none of those who con sidered themselves favored spectators of long-awaited encounter felt any doubt as to his ability to put his hand on one at incomparably short notice There was, however, no trace of hos tility or suspicion In De Spalns greet ing.
 Hello, Duke Morgan" he said frank ly. Morgan looked around. His face hardened when he saw De Spain, and he involuntarily took a short step backward. De Spain, with his left hand lying carelessly on the cigar case faced him. q heard you wanted to see me-" continued De Spain. q want to see you. How's your back since you went home?"
 Morgan eyed him with mixture of suspicion and animosity. He took what was to him the most significant part of De Spain's greeting first and threw his response into words as short as words could be chopped: "What do you want to see me aboutT

Duke, taking the envelope, eyed it distrustfully. "What's this?" he demanded, opening 1t and drawing out card.
 Something for easier riding. An annual pass for you and one over the stage line between Calabasas and Sleepy Cat-with Mir. Jeffries' compli- ments."
 Like a flash, Morgan tore the card pass in two and threw 1t angrily to the floor. "Tell Mir Jeffries,S he ex- claimed violently, "to-" Continued Next Weew.)

De Spain Laughed at Her Fears.

laughed at her fears. "I'll bring that man around, Nan, don't worry. Don't believe we shall ever fight. I may not be able to bring him around tomorrow, or next week, but I'll do it. It takes two to quarrel, you know"
 But you don't know how unreason- ing Uncle Duke is when he is angry" " said Nan mournfully. 'He won't listen to anybody. He always would listen to me until now. Now, he says, have gone back on him, and he doesn't care what happens. Think, Henry where it would put me if either of you should kill the other. Henry, I've been think ing it all over for three days now. l see what must come. It will break both our hearts, know, but they will be broken anyway. There is no way out, Henry-none."
 "Nan. what do you meanY
 You must give me up"
 They were sitting in the hospital garden, he at her side on the bench that he called their bench. It was here he had made his unrebuked avowal-here. he had afterward told her, that he began to live. Give you up," he echoed with gentleness. How could do that? You're like the morn ing for me, Nan. Without you there's sno day you're the kiss of the noun tain wind and the light of the stars to me. Without the thought of you I'd sicken and faint in the saddle, I'd lose my way in the hills; without you there would be no tomorrow. No mat ter where l am, no matter how I feel, if I think of you strength wells into my heart like q spring. l never could give you up."
 He told her all would be we'll be- cause it must be well that she must trust him; that he would bring her safe through every danger and every storm, if she would only stick to him. And Nan, sobbing her fears one by one out on his breast, put her arms around his neck and whispered that for life or death, she would stick.
 It was not hard for De Spain next morning to find Duke Morgan. The difficulty was to meet him without the mob of hangers-on whose appetite had been whetted with the prospect of q death, and perhaps more than one, in the meeting of men whose supremacy with the gun had never been success fully disputed. It required all the diplomacy of Lefever to pull off'' a conference between the two which should not from the start be hopeless, because of a crowd of Dukes partisans whose presence would egg him on, in spite of everything, to a combat
 But toward eleven o'clock in the morning, De Spain having been con cealed like a circus performer during every minute earlier. Duke Morgan was found, alone, in barber's hands in the Mountain house. At the moment Duke left the revolving chair and walked to the cigar stand to pay his check, De Spain entered the shop through the rear door opening from the hotel office.
 Passing with an easy step the row of barbers lined up in waiting beside thelr chairs, De Spain walked straight down the open aisle. behind Morgan's back. While Duke bent over the case to select cigar, De Spain, passing,
