Pa. Agnew had quite local reputa-
tion as a crack shot and was a hunt

The company front on the Nesle

the day Agnew would take his secret
place and watch for them. And they
would shoot at Agnew. 1t was a
continual duel.
One night Agnew's eyes were a

CHINESE REPLACE TURKISH
Old Centers of Rug Supply In Tur-
key and Persia Have Been Prac-
tically Closed by the War.

Philadelphia Corn Exchange !:
Naturally the old centers of the rug
supply in Turkey and Persia have
been practically closed by the war.
| The result is seen in an increased de
maud for Chinese rugs, most of the
Chinese eXpdrts being made in
Iientsin, Pekin and vicinity. The
bulk OF the product is made under
the direction Of the foreign buyer
or expert. As is well known. rug
making in China is a very old indus
try, dating back many centuries.
In China, where the labor problem
is unknown, the methods used are
still quite primitive. Thus, in some
localities spinnerS may be seen
strolling along with wads of wool
and hand spindles. and by the me-
chanical working of the spindle the
spinner gradually accumulates a ball
of yarn. The Chinese rug is,a sand
made product all the way through. |
Chinese rug dyers are famous. Rugs I.
can be boiled to shredS without af- .
fecting the dye in the least, and the
dye worker depends entirely upon
his memory for records and formu-
las. The rugs are tied, not woven.
strictly speaking, there is no wool.
The cotton filler is run III after each
row of knots has been tied and
pounded down. Only an expert who
has studied the rug market in China
IAN tell the value OF a Pekin rug.
Some years ago a beautiful Pekin
amb's wool rug, made from finest
WOOL, best dyes and finest workman
hip. could be bought for 50 to s.
.ents per foot In 1915 the price was !
8. so TO 81 a foot.
