CODE MESSAGES.

Parr pondered the adventure sober
ly over a lonely lunch in an incon-
spicuous corner Of the Casino.
Within his radius of vision were
seated both persons, aside from HIM
self, involved In the as yet obscure
intrigue, and with them some others.
Not far away. deep In Capitalization
with the white-aanneled gentleman
who had been his companion Of the
links that morning, was Baron Hu-
roki. A discreet inquiry ELECTED from
Captain PARIS waiter the information
that the baron's friend was one Senior
Juan de Lima. wealthy Mexican.
"Probs the private affairs Of Peter
Ripley. for reasons for per.
sistent discrimination against Mexican
eontraets!"
This Senior de Lima, then was a
fourth party to the intrigue.
II any more proof of that were
needed, 1t was furnished by Hurokl,
who, upon the arrival Of Miss Chan
ming and her party, cOvertly designat-
ed her to De Lima, muttering some
thing which Pnrr would have given
much to overhear. and which seemed
to exert rather incendiary effect
upon inflammable Mexican emotions.
Patria was hardly seated when a
page called Baron Hurokl to the tele-
phone.
Intuition whispered to the under
standing Of Captain Parr. He was
entertained by a mental vision of an
unhappy and excited little japanese
In the dress Of motorcyclist stam-
merlng the story OF purloined mes
sage into a telephone receiver.
When Baron Huroki returned wear
Ing a cOuntenance whose racial Sc
renity was perceptibly ruffled. Captain
Parr smiled grimly into his deml-
tasse.
Shortly after this he got up, strolled
unObtrusively out of the Casino and
found the nearest telegraph Office,
where he concocted lengthy code
message to one Edward w. Ryley in
New York.
The answer was delivered as Cap
tain Parr dressed for dinner, and
caused considerable interruption OF
that ceremony.
"Ripley doesn't know Huroki, but
says private advices persuade him ia
pan consplres to embroil United States
with Mexico. AS patriot and trustee
for Channings. Ripley has repeatedly
refused Of late to accept arms and
ammunition contracts for delivery in

the full dignity of her inches and

The young woman stood before him,
trembling and out Of breath, but OBJ

So far, good; Parr wasted no more
solicitude on her. His japanese 10

hasty examination persuaded Parr
that he had suffered no really serious
hurt. His cap had dropped of in the
collision. Parr deity extracted the
folded paper from Its leather, rose,
and turned back to find the young
woman. whose life he might reason
ably be credited with having saved,
regarding him with look In which
considerable amusement was mixed
with us much chagrin.
"If you will permit me-" said he,
Offering his hands with fingers inter-
laced.
She hesitated. Amusement glim-
mered again In her eyes. The corners
Of her mouth twitched adOrably. But
with no more than q conventional,
''Thank you so much!" she cOolly
lodged the toe Of small boot in his
hands. and sprang into the saddle.
Before he could move buck. a Sec
ond horse galloped into the glade and
pulled up smartly. A voice of amaze
ment saluted him.
Donald Parrl Well, I'll be Jig
gered!"
Captain Parr swung about.
"ROdney" he exclaimed, pleased;
and stridIng over, warmly shook the
newcomers hand.
Behind his back the girls voice rang
out In sharp warning. Followed the
sound Of plunging hoofs. He wheeled,
instinctiveiy whipping an automatic
from his pocket.
He saw her squirting full-tilt at the
Japanese. That one, 1t seemed, had
quietly regained his senses and got
to his feet simultaneously producing
pistol Of his own. But he had no
chance to use 1t; the horse was upon
him too quickly. In another breath
the man had tripped and half fallen,
half thrown himself bodily back
through mask Of underground. He
disappeared Instantly.
Without hesitation, Parr pursued
through the hindering tangle. On its
fur side he paused and listened. The
japanese had vanished.
His eagerness to inform himself con-
corning Baron HurOki's message
would brook no more delay. Quickly
he unfolded and smoOthed out the pa.

Taken a second time by surprise,
the boy swOre petulantly as he sawed
at the reins. His cob resented this
and turned awkwardly. The girl had
long lead on the pursuit before it
was well renewed.
Even without that advantage the
chase was hopeless. She had the bet
ter horse and the instinct Of her sex
to boot.
Little wonder, then, that In the
pride Of fearless and carefree youth
she rode recklessly--whO loved reck-

Without warning. all this was

The market held a steady tone and

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York Feb. 24.-The cotton
market showed quite a steady tone at
the reopening this morning. Some

latest announcement of the British
government appeared to be covering
and after opening unchanged to 6
points higher the market sold about
8 to 13 points above last nights close
with near months relatively firm.
Cotton closed steady.
