low tone.
"Would it be best!'' she asked,
whispering the question.

She turned and went out
through the door leading into the
hall.
Mallon came farther into the
room, his star still fixed on Smith.
"Win you tell me" he repeated,
to what we owe this visit from
you?"
ut was not a visit to YOU"
Smith answered him cody.
II never heard of such inso-
lencei"
The agitator strove to keep his
self-eontrol.
1T might seem SGT does
seem So" he said quietly, but
this was an affair in which Miss
Mallon's peace of mind was threat
ened. And, since that was true,
nothing could have kept me
away He took a step swiftly to-
ward the senator. st seems to me
only fair, Senator Mallon,'' he
said, for you to let me know why
you have assumed this attitude to
ward me, why you are so bitter"
You, yourself, are the answer
to your own question:" Mallon re-
piled.
He lit a cigar and tried to look
at Smith in real contempt. Some
how, he failed in that.
Now" he ordered, get out Of
my house-and stay ont!!''
Smith regarded hi mwith an ex-
preston like pity.
You will not tell me why?' he
asked again.
"Oh, yes,' the older man re-
lsponded with elaborate careless
ness, IF you want to know. I
know what you are. I'm on to you

sOne moment!"
Chol1ieWollie stepped between
the two. men and faced Mallon. His
manner was such as it had been
the night he had Intercepted
Simpson in the stnffy hotel room.
The drawl had gone from his
voice.
You see, SENATOR he said
curtly, without a smile, Tin on

There's no daring about it"
Waller assured him sternly. .I;m

He turned to Smith with. the
quick query:

CHAPTER XXI
The two women were in the
Mallon parlor when Cholliewollie
arrived.
"Of course he gave it as his
opinion, it was just a coincidence
that this announcement was pub
lished the morning following the
-ermeetlrg at my apartment last
night"
"You don't think" Mrs. Kane
voiced her surprise, that they re
laying their plans to make a sean
dial out of thatl'

OF course not!'

nothing about it. But, if they did,

would do anything now to hit

Edith felt the burning desire to
clear her mind Of the things that
puzzled her.

asked, what possible motive

 A large string of students went through a snake dance last night through the downtown sections of the city, advertising the game for today.

Two back fields have been working for this game and thev ought to give some trouble for the Warren team to stop. The line of tha second string men looks good to the coach and they will hustle the regular squad to hold their places.
 Nothing is known of the Warren team but last year they threw a scare int the Zebras end only by the aarrowes. margin did they succeed in winning by the close score of 10-0.
 Tho local team has been given all the instructions about playing the game safe and the boys are not over confident. Every day the teams have had scrimmages and some of the lads are suffering from sore muscles.
 Sorrells has been laid UT all thf week with boil and it was thought that he would not be able to play He was at practice yesterday and he may be in the line up at the start This adds much strength to the line as SorrellS was mentioned as all star last season.

SOCIAlISTS MAY MAKE TROUBLE
 FOR GERMANY
Official Paper Says Depu ties Had Nothing to do
 With Mgtiny.

Rotterdam, Oct. 1.-The statements of Vice Admiral von Capelle, the Ger man minister of marine, have turned the reichstag into theatre of the widest scandal, says Vorwaerts, dis ,cussiIg the exposure of mntinies with in the German navy. The Socialist newspaper adds that there is no shad ow of proof that any deputies were guilty of Illegal action With the mu- tiny.
 The Vossiche Zeiturg describes the attack on the independent Socialists as a deulorable and illegal trick on the part of the government.
 The Tageblatt contends that if the reichstag believes thatNthe inde9end- ent Socialists are guilty they must be handed over to the court.
 The koelnische Zeitung expresses surprise that the government when it had such strong proofs of guilt tgainst three persons suspected of treason it did not ask the consent of the reicnstag to take legal measures. No reichstag would have been able to refuse consent' The newspaper complains that the treatment of the affair in the reichstag will be explain cd abroad to the disadvantage or Germany.

 During the winter mCnths and fol- lowing the entrance of the United States into the war, the consumption of poultry diminished. This conGition of the market continued until in mid summer the poultry trade started a nationwide campaign increase the cOnsumpttCn of poultry. In this they were aided by d patriotic impulse of tho people to eat chicken instead of the meats needed in the army Prices tailed to lower for the best grades, only the two and three pounders sell ing at reduced prices.
 Prospects for cheaper potatoes are brighter this year than last. A total increase of l76,563 ,000 bushels in the United States is reported. the total output estimated at 462.000000 busn- els. In the case of meats the ad- vance has been almost entirely in the retail prices, the wholesale prices ad- vancing but little Pork has reached unheard of heights with bacon selling at almost double the price charged in 1913.
 Fish is in the eye of the nation with federal and state food officials urging it's substitution for meat and the prices steadily advancing notwith- standing g large supply. The catches of New England fishermen this year are reported to have been larger than ever before in the history of the fish ing industry, yet in the Boston mar ket cod has doubled in price and mackerel and other varieties are sell ing higher than ever before.

Washington, D. C.. Get. i1.-Well may the people of America wonder where the increase in the price of food is going to stop. In tour years time tlp prices of commodities have advanced until today, flour is almost three times as much, sugar is about twice as high, coal has nearly doubled it's price, butter and eggs have in creased almost % per cent ana thrcngh long list of commodities similar advances are revealed in q. comparison of tigures from price lists Of 1913 and l9t7, notwithstanding reduction in many necessities since last winter when higher prices were reC0rGGd.
 Prospects for lower prices ere not brteh. according 10 food officials, wbo point cut that, through tho operation Cf the food fixing policy or the federal government aided by the huge crops of the past summer. high CT quotations can hardly be justified DurinG the last six months there have been many predictions of higher figures for the coming winter. Re- ports of the United States department of aariculture, however, which show en0"mous increases in the corn crop, q large wheat crop and billions Of opunds of meats and dairy products in cCld storage seems to indicate an adequate supply of food providing a sYstem of distribution is found.
 Out of the planning and legislat- ing in Washington has emerged a food control board which, aided by state and municipal committees, is educating the public to an apprecia- ton of unused food resources and to 2 mere economical ard wiser use of the staple articles, This education is expected to result in greatly increas- ing the export supply and help the nation to take it's place as the chief food supplier of the world.
 An astonishing situation was re- vealed in the enormous stocks of cold storage turkeys, chickens, beef, mutton, pork and lamb, as recorded by the United States department of agriculture. Those in touch with the markets trace the beginning of this movement to one year ago, when the prices for poultry of all sorts started to advance to higher prices than ever before.

NO QUORUM FOR RED CROSS.
Meeting for Election of Officers Post
 pOned to Next Thursday Night.

It looks very much as though the members of the local Red Cross so- clety wished to pay compliment to their efficient officers and directors, hence they did not respond to the call for meeting last night in sufficient numbers as to constitute a quoroum.
 Rev. H. A. Stowell, rector of Trin- ity Episcopal church, is president, and E. B. Bloom is secretary, and were on hand ready for the election, but while they were there, the quorum failed to materialize. AS result it was de- cided to hold the meeting next Thurs day night at o'clock.
 It was announced yesterday that the Red Cross sewing rooms will be remov- ed from the present location in Second avenue to rooms sos to 509 Citizens Bank building.
