CHAPTER XIn.-(Conunued.)

So Louie Solomon, the smoothest
trickiest, shiftiest of them all, would
be down in the mornin'," The eyes
of the Pearlhunter narrowed. For
some time he sat looking down the
dark streak where the river lay
finally swallowed up, and the .creak
of the oars came back fainter and
fainter. e.
The flare in the east grew more in
sistent, as if determined to compel
the attention of a drowsy world
Long s%pangles Of crimson focused

The ore grew glodious; slipped from
behind the hills and drenched the
trees with pale silver. The bring OF

three-gabled cabin; the best Of to.

easy to the , woodsman. Not even
Louie Solomon can beat me if I stick
right there. That's what I'll do
sttck-right there. I'm not askin'
more, and he shan't have it for

SO long as the pulse Of 1.-the woods
beat normal the sleep OF the Pearl
hunter was sound. The hoot Of the
owl: the whine OF the Wildcat: the
howl Of the wolves disturbed
him. In cabin or houseboat, or gu
under the trees. he could sleer
through 1t all. But let a false note
creep into the wild medley and it in
stantly reached him. 1t was hi,
training, and could be counted on.
Some timg-away in the dead night
the false note came-guarded foot

the wall. Without start or stir the
Pearlhunter's eyes came open, every
sense at. keenest pitch. It>must have
been rear morning, for the moon stood
almost straight in the open door. He
slid his hand down his side, felt FOL
the revolver under the edge OF his
thigh, laid 1t across his chest and
covered both hand and revolver, with
a corner Of Ahe sheet.
A form blotted the moonlight. upon
the floor with q living splotch OF
shadow. An arm came in at this
door: q hand fufnbled behind the

arm disappeared; 1.-THE splotch OF

According to MIR. Burns, the suffer-

rates favoring certain To-

ITO give justice to ALL" says Mr..
Burns. "the freight rates should
and must be so much per mile per
ton plus the cost OF handling and

LET TURK TREATY
u, REVISE ITSELF,
LEYGUES' PLAN
Would Have such PlAn Adopted IL
Allies Cannot Come to Agree
N~memt On Its Revision.

Paris, Nov. 2s.-To let the Turk
ish treaty revise itself. If the allies
cannot agree upon its revision, is the
Official French plan that Premier
Leygues will present to Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain and Count
Sforza, the Italian foreign minister,
when M. Leagues returns to London
tomorrow for the resumption of the
conferences between these represents
tives Of the three powers it was indi-
Gated in official quarters today.
BY letting the treaty revise itself
the French foreign : Office means, It
was explained, that If French and
British support is withdrawn from
Greece, the Turks car regain much OF
the territory taken from them by the
treaty, although the allies would
make sure Of retaining their hold up
on the Straits of the Dardanelles and
the Turkish finances. OF the five big
powers which signed the treaty
Great Britain. France, Italy, Belgium
and Japan-three must ratify the
pact to make it effective. Attention
was called by the foreign Office to the
fact that none of these has ratified
the treaty, and that it appeared un-
likely that any three Of them would
do so now, nor vas there expectation
that Turkey herself would effect ratt-
ication in the present circumstances.
