Meanwhile, faithful Tom, Ralph's

without him. Puzzled, Tom is soon

blowing his cigar smoke upwards, the
yelled woman turns a valve on the
cylinder, projecting a fine spray of
deadly mist into the room. Ralph and
Tom are gradually overcome by the
fumes, falling unconscious.
The veiled woman rushes into the
room and lifts the body of Ralph to
her shoulders. There is no hesitation
in her movements now-she is out to
kill Ralph, who has been a stumbling
block to all her fiendish plans. Down
TO the cellar of the house she carries
Ralph. There is a fair fire burning
in the boiler, and the veiled woman
throws the unconscious form over It.
Then she proceeds to build up the fire.
Working feverishly, she throws
ar1nful on armful of wood into the
flames, wetting some of it with kero-
sene. The flames, thus fed, leap up
cruelty, and the steam in the boiler
rises rapidly towards the danger point.
The veiled woman is taking no
chances-this tine-of having Ralph
escape, and ties down the safety
valve.
The furnace is now filed with rag
ing flames, and the steam pressure Is
terrible. Then the veiled woman looks
about, and grinning maievolently
burls a can of kerosene into ths
flames. There is a great burst Of fire.
and the steam indicator climbs fear
fully towards the point where the
boiler must explode.
Goodbye, Mr.. Moore" shouts the
veiled woman, crafty shaking her fst
st the unconscious Ralph. Leaving
Ralph still motionless in the midst OF
the fierce clouds Of steam, with the
big flames leaping from the open
furnace door, with death by scaldlng
and explosion facing him, she makes
her departure.

from conCrOIllng the SlLuaIlon-
With the market experiencing
one jolt after another from depress-
ing influences in Washington, with
the buyers out of the market ex-
cept where they could pick up dis
tress cotton at bargain counter
prices, a movement was launched to
ask the gins all over the South to
stop ginning cotton for a period of
thirty days or more. This was design
ed to create a market for that cotton
which had already been ginned, and
to put the market on a sound basis,
on the law of supply and demand.
The suggestion came from a ginner
and W. B. Thompson, Chairman Of
the Louisiana Division Of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association, launched it
in a circular letter which was sent
al over the South. Governor Parker
was so deeply impressed with the
logic of the movement that he issued
a formal statement to ginners in
Louisiana, and requested the Cover
nors of all the cotton states to join

enter.
As they pass to the upper part of
the house, Tom seizes a rubber hose
wound about a stand, and whispering
his plan Of rescue. urwinds the hose
aid lowers it to Raiph's reach. Then
he ties it about him and braces him

to leave watery trace, Ralph wrings
out his sopping clothes as best ne can,
and, shoes in hand, starts for the
uppen part of the house, Tom follow
ing cautiously. They tTy to enter
Ethel's room, but the escape has been
discovered, and they conceal them
selves in the room next to hers. They
are not discovered, but the ccnspira-
tors are anxious, and determine to
get Ethel out of the way. While they
make preparations, Ralph catches
sight of his sister at the adjourning
window, which, like his, is barred.
Ethel! Ethelp' he cries.
"Who are you and why do you call
me?" the startled girl asks, to which
Ralph replies:
81 am your brother and have oeen
searching for you"
While Ethel, bewildered and over
ioyed, is talking, Ralph suddenly sees
her pounced on from behind and
seized by the veiled woman and Lyons
who hustle her, in spite of her
struggles, toward the secret passage
way concealed in the fireplace. With
Tom posted at the door of EthePs
room, Ralph worms his way past the
barred window, crawls along the wall
on a dizzy bridge Of vines, and forces
his way into Ethel's room. Ready to
rescue his sister and give battle to
her captors, Ralph stands amazed on
finding that the room is empty ana
that the door guarded by Tom has
not been unlocked or passed.
Ralph and Tom are loking around
in bewilderment at the strange dis
appearance, when Tom spies the veil
ed woman and Lyons bundling Ethel
into an automobile at the back Of the
house. Tom gives the alarm as the
car comes sweeping up the drive
around the front of the house, and
Ralph, working against time, carries
out a daring plan to stop it.
Whipping a sheet off the bed, ne
knots one end to an electric wire out
side the window, which swings directly
over the driveway. Then he works his
way by hand to the middle Of the
wire. slides down the dangling I'M
provised rope, and leaps, clu hing, TO
the automobile top as the machine
sweeps under him. He is almost hurl-
ed off, but his daring jump IS success

with secret passaGeways and traps.
The three come in through a wall
panel. The veiled woman presses a
knob and a part of the ceiling moves
smoothly down, disclosing a bed.
Ethel, still unconscious, is placed on
the bed and the whole section moves
back in place silently.
In the Sawyer home, meanwhile,
Ruth Sawyer, Ralph's sweetheart, is
aroused from a day dream by the
sound of steps coming from the cellar.
Nearly fainting with fright, for she is
alone in the house, she hides behind
hanging, and sees the veiled woman
stride briskly in, as if perfectly ac-
quainted with the house, open the
wall safe, and take from 1t some
papers.
When the yelled woman retreats
to the cellar, Ruth summons all her
courage and follows. But the secret
trapdoor used by the veiled woman is
sprung and shut before Ruth comes

and a thorough search by both

throws cold water On Ruth's story
of her encounter, ridiculing it as a
dream.
Home again, Ralph seeks relaxa-
ton from the terrific strain Of the
hunt for Ethel and the perils that
have followed him, by mystifying and
amazing the devoted, child-like Tom
with legerdemain and bewildering
variety of card tricks. Ralph is smok-

steals up to the door of the room.
She takes from her coat a small
cylinder with thin rubber tube attach

inserts the end Of the rubber tube in

dom of the movement in the same
lilht, and several cf them replied de-
Ginning to take the step. The prlncl-
pal reason given WIS that the farmers
as a rule had 10 pace to store their
unglnned cotton, and furthermore,
that they could not negotiate loans un-
less the cotton was baled and stored
III warehouses. The one exception,
was Governor Kiiby Of Alabama, who
issued 4 proclamation highly COM
mcnding the work of the American
Cotton Association, and urging the
farmers to join it, and be guided by
the advise Of it's leaders. Those who
specifically declined were Governor
Russell of Mississippi, Governor Dor
sey of Georgia, and Governor Cooper
of South Carolina.
Planters who have practiced storing
their seed cotton, have found it
cheap and advantageous. Cotton
Houses can be built at little or no ex-
pense, such as to hold bale or two
and this distribution of the crop re-
duces the fire risk to minimum. DR..
W. D. Haas, of Alexandria, writing
on this phase of the question says:
Instead of cotton damaging while
stored in the seed, the contrary is
the case, cotton in the seed i'm
proves in staple, there being enogh
nutrition in the seed to keep the
staple growing. Tae modern practice
of picking cot.oa and hauling i'm
mediately to the gin, is the cause Of
gin-cut cotton and great deal of loss
in the weight that occurs in early
ginnings." =
In the meantime Chairman Thomp-
son is in receipt of many letters and
kilograms, from Louisiana and Miss
issppi, commencing the movement,
and agreeing to close down gins,
some Immediately, ond others on Nov
ember l. Several requests have been
received fsSsaaditiOnal copies of the
circular
When Mr.. Thompson suggested to
the farmers last August that they
do not pick the low grade cotton,
there were many who questioned the
wisdom of the move, and not a few
condemned it as revolutionary. The
fact remains that two months after
that date, the farmers of the South
are putting that suggestion into
practice, from one end Of the South
to the other, and picking and ginning
have already ended in most of the
cotton country. One who has just
visited north Texas, brought the
statement that tenants, having al
ready picked the first crop, refused
to pick the second, except on a basis
of payment at the rate of $50 per
hundred. That of course would not
pay.
Louisiana Cotton farmers have
come to see the wisdom Of organiza-
ton, but realizes that it cannot be
fully effective unless organization ex-
tend throughout the cotton belt, and
all follow a common leadership.
Farmers of St. Landry have been
active in organization work, and in
Claiborne and Webster parishes
there have been a series of meetings
which have produced splendid results
