GOOD BUYING IN RAILS

New York, Sept. 24,-The grand
slam executed by Henry Ford. when
he suddenly announced a slashing
of prices Wednesday. resulted in
further selling of Industrial stocks
today. Practically the whole list
was sold with the exception Uf the
railroads, in which a small volGmc
of good buying developed. Some of
the buying of railroads was for
the account of traders who are
heavily short of industrials and are
buying the stocks OF ;he smaller
roads for the purpose Of hedging
The selling began shortly after
the opening, and although ftful
rallies developed during the ses-
sion the close showed losses rang
ing from ! to Z points. The tire
and motor stocks led the decline,
and Studebaker, Helly-Springtield
General Motors and Goodrich sold
at new low levels for the year
The Iong-expected financing by
the Kelly-Springheld Tire Company
was announced today. and as re-
suit the stock sold down to % y,
of points for the day and de-
cline of about 40 points from the
high mark reached in 1913. When
traders realized that the new issue
would carry attractive rights the
stock rallied and closed at 56h
Call loans renewed at per cen.
and remained at that figure
throughout the day.
Conditions of the money market
have ceased to interest many trau-
ers for the present, but bankers are
watching with some uncertainty
the conditions in the cotton belt.
Greater cifficUlty is expected this
year in supporting the cotton crop
than was experienced last year, or
tighter money is expected to de-
velop as a result.
Wall Street has to a large extent
discounted this cutting of prices
and recognizes that in the long run
IL is the most constructive featui .
that has developed in a most crucial
year. However. those bankers who
believe that any great dehatiOn and
liquidation by industrial companies
must eventually be followed by
liquidation of labor. which at bes,
will prove a most disagreeable and
messy proposition. are not looking
for any runaway bull movement in
the near future.

They were inside the Chateau, carry

portraits into a room which had been
drawing room in bygone days, fur
nished with spindle-legged furniture,
gilt mirrors and ormolu cabinets. A
bed In corner showed that its use had
been converted, probably because the
upper part of the Chateau was no
longer habitable.

was stronger, but the flush which had

Lafe's stroll was rapid ohe. As

most ran up the hill road townyd the

he heard the rumble of wheels IN the
distance, and presently he saw the
cures rig coming toward hho. He
hailed.

The rig stopped and Lafe perceived
Madeleine Rosny seated at the cures

face agitated and deathly pale. Lafe's
hand went up TO his hat awkwardly.

turned and said:

"It was not talk. II Is their plan"
said Father Lucien. "MademoIselle

Brousseau days ago--it was on the
day when you went to Ste. Marie. He
rode with he- toward Ste. Marie and
told her so. She did not believe him.

from little Baptiste, who asked her to
warn Monsieur Askew. Everybody
knew he would 20 alone to ST. Boni-

eve must get there in time to save
him. You viii do all you can to save
him, will you not. Mr. Connellf" asked
the girl, looking earnestly az Lafe. As
their eyes met Lafe realized suddenly
that her agitation had more than an
impersonal cause behind II. The swift
knowledge came home to him with
shock; Il cleared up many things,
among them the fogs Of rancor that
had cloudcd his mind.
"I1l do everything that's in my pow
er, Mademoiselle." he said. "I'll stand
by him--I'll fight for him if there's any
fighting"
"There will be none" said Father
Luclen. "But Mademoiselle Rosny
understands now what Brousseau is.
She knows his character and his evil
mind. And she has learned, fortunate
ly. before It is too late"
Not another word was spoken. The
buggy descended the hiltand rolled to-
ward ST. Boniface. As II crossed the
rickety bridge they heard the sound of
distant shouting in Duval's saloon.
About the front of 1t was gathered the
entire male population of ST. Boniface,
gesticulating and chattering.
They fell back In dismay as the cure
leaped from the buggy and assisted
Madeleine Rosny down. Lafe fol-
lowed. He tried to urge the girl to re-
main tn the rig, but she paid no atten-
tion 10 him. She listened with anxious
intentness as the cure addressed the
crowd. her lips compressed, her bosom
rising and falling quickly. All eyes
were Axed on Father Lucien, but each,
as the priest turned to him, tried to
shrirI back behind his neighbor.
They were pointing inside the sa-
loon. The cure hurried through the
doorway, Madeleine Rosny immediate
ly behind him, ari Lafe following
them. The salasil, though III by an oil
lamr. was empty. as seemed to be the
dark stable beyond Il, seen through the
open doorway.
Father Luclen snatched down the

stable door. He raised II and looked
