CHAPTER XVIII.
Mac Beard Finds HIs Destiny.

Mac6earo FINDS HIS Destiny.
He gazed at II still hypnotized: he
was trying to fight his way back into
consciousness. For few moments
he did not know where he was, or
what was happening.
Then. gradually. he began to be
aware Of his surroundings. He saw
the body at his feet, and the high cliffs
about him. And In the distance he saw
Clouts and Davies running toward the
motorboat.
Ida stood watching Donald. She
was still hesitating. MacBeard had
found that he could start his engine.
His hand was on hers. Davies and
Clouts were fifty PAGES away.
"Comel" said MacBeard.
The girl shuddered. and suddenly
she leaped into the boat. MacBeard
threw himself against the gunwale and
pushed II into deep water. He sprang
aboard. He was twenty PAGES from
the shore when his pursuers arrived
at the water line. Davies whipped out
his revolver.
MacBeard crouched behind Ida and
raised her body before him for q
shield. The girl knew nothing Of this
maneuver. for she had tainted.
Surrender. you blackguard,' shout
ed Davies. hoarse with passion.
MacBeard, trembling. covered be-
hind the girl. With his hand. stretched
out behind her he guided the little
craft. The distance was increasing
swiftly.
Davies let his revolver hand fall. He
knew that at that distance 1t was I'M
possible TO hit MacIieard with any GER
tainty. And he could not run the risk
of shooting Ida.
Impetuously he plunged into the wa
ter. At first his desperate strokes
seemed almost to carry him as fast as
the motorboat. But soon this was
shown to be delusiye. The distance
was increasing every instant. Davies
clung to ledge Of rock and painted
for breath. He shook his free fist at
MacBeard. who laughed scornfully.
He had seen the F55 settle beneath
the waves, and knew that by no pos
sible chance could Donald catch him.
He turned to Ida, who was just
opening her eyes. He took her hand.
1t lay limp and cold In his own. He
saw her shudder. and dlabolcal fury
overcame him. He struck her across
the face with his open hand.

She raised her arms. slowly she

upon her knees.
Her face was visible now, and Don

With horror Donald realized that
she was dying.
She crouched at his feet; she raised
her eyes to his once more In that mute
yearning. And her face was that Of
an aged woman.
For q few seconds longer the eyes
looked into Donald's. Then, without
closing. they seemed to glaze. A film
passed over them. and. with a shudder.

THE SISAL HEMP SITUATION

The price of binder Irvine is an
important matter to the grain farm
ers of the United States. Interesting
light on the reasons why it has
scared to its present dizzy height is
contained in an interview with Mr..
Michael ]. Smith of the firm of Han
son e Ortiz, fibre merchants of New
York city.
My firm has been in the fibre bust
ness for q great many years, and I'M
til the fall of 1915 was actively en-
gagged in the importation from Yucca
tan of sisal hemp, which is the ma
terial out of which approximately 80
per cent of the binder Irvine used in
the United States and all over the
world is made.
In September, 1915, General Sal
vador Alvardo, the military dictator
of Yucatan, issued an edict proclaim
ing a government monopoly OF the
SlSdl H6up DuoihCSo ~
which produces over 80 per cent OF
the worlds sisal. At that time the
price of sisal hemp in the New York
market was u cents per pound. BY
series of advances which culminat-
ed in August, 1917, the price was In
creased until it reached 19A cents
per pound in New York. The price
of binder Irvine necessarily followed
suit.
In 1915 the less than carload price
Of hinder Irvine was IN C per pound
In 1915 .... CSC per pound
In 1917 .......... 10 - pei po"N1
In 1918 .......23A per pound
The $S6,OOO.OOO represented by
this advance have gone chiefly into
the hands of the Yucatan govern
mental profiteers.
The situation was regarded by the
United States senate as so serious
that in the spring of 1916, 1t insti-
tuted an inquiry. A mass OF test-
monv was taken by subcommittee
Of the senate committee on agricul-
ture. but a long delay ensued before
this subcommittee announced its
