TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, July 26-CoRN-Fresh success
ses for the entente allies brought about
new declines today in the corn market.
Announcement of the capture of Oulchy LIE
Chateau in particular resulted in new ac-
cessions TO the selling side Of the market
and led to sharp break. Favorable
weather and slightly enlarged offerings to
arrive counted also against the bulls. Open
ing prices, which ranged from 1se off to
Ac advance, with August S1.52 and Sep
TENDER $1.52k to $1.52H were followed by
a moderate upturn, and then a decided
setback all around.
Later the market took a pronounced up
ward swing, influenced by reports of ex
cessively hot dry weather southwest The
close was unsettled, &c to 11ac net higher,
with August S1.52T to $1.53 and September
81. 53k to $154.
OATS-Assertions that some export bust
ness had been done in oats kept that cereal
comparatively steady. Within narrow lin
its, however. prices sympathized with the
changes in corn. After opening &c down
to NC advance, the market scored light
gains and then fell below yesterdays fin
ish.

"As storm troops your men are

Harrington Emerson, the efficiency

career was shaped by trip, when a

Then it must be the fellow in the

way to another door. Peggy ventured
inside, moving very cautiously. Over
at one side she saw a soldier. AS
she entered he turned around. 1t was
the spy.
Peggy had almost expected this
when she found that there were two
men in the mill.

to the boy.

And | wouldn't help you if l didn't
think it was my duty" replied the
spy, grinning evilly to himself.
Peggy understood what had hap
pened. The spy had come across the
young soldier and had persuaded him
to desert, just as he had tried to per
suade Ben and Bill.

thing terrible" callet the boy.
They'll think you were drowned

he saw caused him to jump back, shu,

bar into place.
Get out of sight," he called softly.
There are soldiers coming"
He returned to the window and eau
tiously looked out.
ITS those two young chaps who
threw me into the river" he muttered
savagely. "Ill fix them if they come
this way" He drew heavy pisto,
from its holster, and held it ready
for instant use.
Peggy ran to the door. She must
get outside to warn Ben and Bill. But
she couldn't bulge the heavy, rusty
bar. She was a prisoner. Through
the window she saw Bill and Ben ad-
vance toward the mill. The spy raised
his pistol menacingly.

helps to capture the spy.)
