Preventing Grain Fires.

Plans of organization for the grain
dust explosion and fire prevention
work of the United States grain cor.
poration, for which and appropriation
of $4,000 was made recently at the
suggestion Of julius H. Barnes, Uni
ted States wheat director, were an
nounced today at the corporation Of
fees, AZ Broadway
This campaign is being carried on
in cooperation with the department
of agriculture in Washington, with
David J. Price, of the bureau of
chemistry, in charge. DR.. Price is
the engineer in charge of the grain
dust explosion investigations carried
on by the agricultural department
He will have the assistance of Dr.
II. II. Brown, organic and physical
chemist, also of the bureau of chem
istry.
In order to carry on the safety first
program for the grain trade the en-
tire country has been divided into
four districts. These will be the
eastern, central, northwestern and
Pacific.
eVrnon Fitzsimmons will direct the
work Of the northwestern section
from Minneapolis, MINI. With him
will be associated Paul E. Brady. I'm
der Mr.. Fitzsimmons will be carried
on hte grain dust explosion proven
tion work in zone 4, 8 and IA of

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The grain corporation an
nounced August 6 that no storage pre-
miums would be added to the basic
prices in its buying scale for the pres
ent, nor until there accumulates in
the grain corporations hands suf-
ficient reserve of wheat to secure a
measure of protection for further
home requirements" In accordance
with this policy, it was stated, the
wheat director is refusing proffered
contracts which foreign buyers are de-
sirous of making at the grain cor
poration price level, these buyers be-
ing apparently anxious to cover their
requirements for some months in adj
vance. Interest centers in the crop
now being harvested and while both
locally and generally the yield is cut
down somewhat by June and July
drouth, in the aggregate it is still
bumper crop. New crop prices are
$2.o41a, $2.o2h, $2.ooh and $l.97R
for the four leading varieties, with
bulk prices 41ac less.
Flour-On the basis of new wheat,
millers figure there will be a reduc-
ton of about so cents barrel to take
effect about September l., possibly a
little earlier Mills are still operat-
ing on old wheat, TO (which they were
obliged to pay a premium Of 10 to 20
cents. Prices are unchanged at

onds, and $l1.s0 for hard wheat va
reties
Feed-This market except oats, Is
closed very strong. Bran and shorts
and barley have made moderate ad-
vances. Corn has jumped So to $50

CHAPTER TX.
When Thieves FAN Out.

When Thieves Fall Out.
So the two Swedes approached the
village Of Kovudoo with friendly word.
upon their tongues and deep craft IL
their hearts.
Their plans were well made. There
was no mention of the white prisoner
They chose to pretend that they wers
not aware. that Kovudoo had q white
prisoner. They exchanged gifts with
the old chief, haggling with his plenl
potentiaries over the value of what
they were to receive for what they
gave. as is customary and proper when
one has no Interior motives. Unwar
ranted generosity would have aroused
suspicion.
During the palaver which followed
they retailed the gossip of the villages
through which they had passed, receiv.
ing In exchange such news as Kovudoo
possessed. The palaver was long and
tiresome, as these native ceremonies
always are to Europeans. Kovudoo
made no mention Of his prisoner, and
from his generous efforts of guides and
presents seemed anxious to assure
himself of the speedy departure of his
guests.
1t was Malbihn who, quite casually,
near the close Of their talk, mentioned
the fact that the sheik was dead. Kov-
udoo evinced interest and surprise.
You did not know It'll" asked NAL
bihn. THAT is strange. 1t was during
tho In fall T. &, -
when the beast stepped in hole. The
horse fell upon him. When his men
came up the sheik was quite dead"
Kovudoo scratched his head. He was
much disappointed. No sheik meant nc
ransom for the white girl.
Il know where there is a white GIRL
he said unexpectedly. If you wish to
buy her she may be had cheap"
Malbihn shrugged. 1--WE have trouble
enough, Kovudoo," he said, without
burdening ourselves with an old
broken down she hyena, and as for
paying for one"-Malbihn snapped his
fingers.
"She is young" said Kovudoo, "and
good looking"
Inc SWedes laughed. There are nc
good looking white women In the Jun.
gle, Kovudoo," said Jensen. "You
should be ashamed to try to make fun
of old friends"
Kovudoo sprang to his feet. Come"
he said, Il will show you"
Malbihn and Jensen rose to follow
him, and as they did so their eyes met
and Malbihn slowly dropped one OF
his lids In a sly wink. Together they
followed Kovudoo toward his hut. In
the dim interior they discerned the
figure of woman lying bound upon
q sleeping mat.
Malbihn took a single glance and
turned away. "She must be. a thou.
sand years old, Kovudoo," he said as
he left the hut.
"She is youngl" cried the savage.
1T is dark in here. You cannot see.

The Son Of Iarzan

All that day they marched and the
next and the next. Nor did korak
even so much as show himself to the
patient little waiter moving, silent and
stately, beside her hard captors.
1t was on the fourth day that Mer-
lem began definitely to give up hope
Something had happened to korak.
She knew it. He would never come
now, and these men would take her
away. Presently they would kill her.
She would never see her Korak again.
On this day the Swedes rested, for
they had marched rapidly and their
men were tired. Malbihn and Jensen
had gone from camp to hunt, taking
different directions.
They had been gone about an hour
when the door of Meriem's tent was
lifted and Malbihn entered. His look
portended no good to the girl.
Out in the jungle Jensen had
brought down two bucks. His hunting
had not carried him far afield, nor
was he prone to permit 1t to do so. He
was suspicious of Malbihn. The very
fact that his companion had refused to
accompany him and elected instead to
hunt alone in another direction would
not, under ordinary circumstances,
have seemed fraught with sinister sug-
gestion, but Jensen knew Malbihn
well, and so, having secured meat, he
turned Immediately back toward camp
