night watch with Williams against
a possible surprise by the right-of-way
claimants; and Stillings, who had been
petitioning for an injunction, came up
to report progress just as Baldwin was
locking his desk.

visement, but that is as far as he

''He has; and I haven't lost mine
yet" snapped voice at the door; and
Smith came in, dust-cOvered and swar-
thy with the CRIME of the wind-swept
grasslands. Out of the pocket of his
driving coat he drew thick packet of
papers and slapped it upon the drawn
down curtain of Baldwin's desk.

Colonel Baldwin saw the company'S
attorney as soon as he reached Brew
ster. But Smith was not i'll his office,
and no one seemed to know where he
had gone. The colonel shrewlly SuS-
pected that Miss RiChandeF was max

sauntered into the High Line head

From that the talk drifted to dis
cussiOn of KinZie's latest attitude. By
this time there had been an alarming
number of stock sales by small hold
ers, all of them handled by the Brew
ster City National, and it was plainly
evident that Kinzie had finally gone
over to the enemy and was buying-as
cheaply as possible--fOr some unnamed
customer.
"If they keep it up, they can wear
us out by Titles, and We'll break our
necks finishing the dam and saving

dejectedly. 1--WE talked until I'm

GERMAN TORPEDO CAUSES DEATH
 8 AMERICANS Vice Admiral Sims Reports on Casualties on Board the Finland. ARMY TRANSPORT IN FRENCH DRY DOCK Among Those Aboard Finland When SIe Was Attacked by Submarine Were Several Survivors of
 the Antilles.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The torpedo ing of the homeward-bound army transport Finland, in the war zone four oays ago resulted in the death of two members of tine naval armed guard, two army enlisted men and four of the ships civilian crew. A third naval seaman is missing. Vice Admiral sims report of the casualties to the navy department today added no details to the announcement that the Finland had been torpedoed, but lad been able to reach a European port under her own steam.
 The announcement that five of the men were drowned indicated to the officials that the Finland's company left the vessel in small boats until it was made certain that she would re- main afloat. The capsizinS of one of the boats in launching might ac- count for the drowning of the men. It is assumed that two of the armed guards were killed by the explosion of the torpedo, and that the missing one was probably thrown overheard by the explosion, as was seaman on the destroyer Cassin, when she was torDedoed recently.
