GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 15.--With arrivals continuing on a big scale. and with apparently unlimited quantities yet to come forward. the corn market today underwent new declines. Prices closed unsettled. 1s to 3s net lower, at S1.27% for March and $1.257s for May Oats lost F to 13s, and provisions ' to IT cents. Favorable weather for the crop movement helped to make corn trad CTS focus their attention on the fact that receipts showed no falling off in volume and that no siackening in the number of arrivals was in immediate prospect. Meanwhile, inquiry from shippers here had nearly reached the vanishing point owing to the absence of ordinary outlets to the east Good demand from industries here gave the market at one time something of a stimulus, but was more than offset later by assertions that owing to the poor quality of the 1917 crop a lower grade of corn than at present accepted was likely to be declared standard for the filling of contracts.
 Despite temporary bulge due to covering of 600.000 bushels by a specu- lative shorts oats were sharply lower most of the day. Bears had an ad- vantage from reports that much in- creased acreage was being seeded. Provisions sympathized with weak ness of grain and hogs. Close:
 Corn: March, s1.27%; May. $1.25% Oats: March, S9Ac; May, sec.
 Pork: May, s4S.25.
 Lard: May. s25.92; July se6.12.

Fine wools also are held more firmly although relatively less strong than medium grades. The government terms for transferring foreign wools under it's import options indicate that it will take the great bulk of the wool included under these options. Manufacturers report a very firm situation with little effort on their part to sell goods. New clip wools apparently have not begun to move in the west yet. owing to the lack of transportation.

Bwana and Ny Dear.
Like a Gagged tigress the girl paced
the length of the Enclosure. once she
paused near the outer fence, her head
upon n side, listening to the pad OF
naked human feet just beyond the gar
den. The sound was nOt repeated.
Then she resumed her restless walk
ing. Down to the opposite end of he
garden she passed, turned and retraced
her steps toward the upper end. Upon
the sward heal the bushes that hid the
fence, full in the glare of the moon

almost upon the very spot a moment
before.

following the shadows of the bushes
that ran down 70 the corral, was soon
gone from sight.
Meriem's trained ears heard his
every move. She made no attempt to
seek closer knowledge of his identity.
Already she had guessed that he was
a messenger from the Hon. Morrison.
She stopped and picked up the envel-
ope. Tearing it open, she read the con-
tents easily by the moons brilliant
light.
1t was, as she had guessed, from
Baynes:
81 cannot go without seeing you
again. Come to the clearing early to-
morrow morning and say goodby to
me. Come alone"
There was a little mOre-words that
made her heart beat faster and Q hap
by flush mount her cheek.
It was still dark when the Hon.
Morrison Baynes set forth for the tryst-
ing place. He insisted upon having a
guide, saying that he was not sure that
he could find his way back to the little
clearing.
As a matter of fact, the thought OF
that lonely ride through the darkness
before the sun rose had been too much
for his courage, and he craved COM
pany.
A black, therefore, preceded him on
foot. Behind and above him came 10

Morrison and Hanson.

AS Hanson and Morrison rode toward
the formers camp the E%ngllshman
maintained a morose silence. The
other was attempting to formulate an
opening that would lead naturally to
the proposition he had In mind. He
rode a neck behind his companion,
grinning as he noted the sullen scowl
upon the others patrician face.
Rather rough on you, wasn't he?"
he ventured at last, jerking his head
back in the direction of the bungalow
as Baynes turned his eyes upon him at
the remark.
"He thinks a lot of the girl" contin-
to marry her and take her away. But
1t looks to me as though he was dom
her more harm than good in sendin'
you away. She ought to marry some
time. and she couldn't do better than
a fine young gentleman like you"
Baynes, who had at first felt inclined
to take offense at the mention of his
private affairs by this common fellow.
was Modified by Hanson's final remark
and Immediately commenced to see in
him Il man of discrimination.
Hes a darned bounder," grumbled
the Hon. Morrison, but I'll get even

I'D take the girl along with me. If

trading and hunting here for ten years,
and | know as much about the country
as he does. If you want to take the
girl along I'll help you, and I'll guar
antee that there won't nobody catch
up with us before we reach the coast.
"Ill tell you what-you write her a
note, and I'll get it to her by my head
man. Ask her to meet you to say
goodby. She won't refuse that. In the
meantime we can be movin' camp a
little farther north all the time, and
YOU can make arrangements with her

her I'll meet her then, while you wait

[ know the country we'll and can cover
1t quicker than YOU. You can take
charge Of the safari and be movin'
along slow toward the north. and the
girl and I'll catch up to YOU"
The balance of the long ride to Han
sons northerly camp was made in ST.
,'nce, for both men were occupied with
their w thoughts, most Of which
were far from being either compli-
mentary or loyal to the other.
AS they rode through the wood the
sounds Of their careless passage came
70 the ears of another jungle wayfarer.
It was no other than Korak himself,
who was perched in a tree.
He moved stealthily through the
branches until he came within sight Of
the riders. He fell in behind the pair,
following them to Hanson's camp.
Here the Hon. Morrison penned a BRIEF
note, which Hanson gave into the
keeping Of n Of his boys, who start
ed off forthwith with it toward the
south. Out of curiosity Korak re-
NAMED in the vicinity Of the camp.
Baynes was restless, pacing back
and forth beneath the trees when he
should have been resting against the
forced marches of the coming flight.
Hanson lay in his hammock and smOk-
ed. They spoke but little. KOrak lay
stretched upon a branch among the
dense foliage above them.
In the garden beside the bungalow
Meriem wandered thoughtfully in the
moonlight. She still smarted from
Bwana's, to her, unjust treatment of
the Hon. Morrison BayneS. ;
Meriem loved them both and was
grateful to them for all that they had
