him greatly jand he appeared to
be on the point Of giving up his
search when Q voice behind him
relit the eagerness of his eyes.
Here ID your slayer Of lions,
Louise, returned to the fold.
Looking little older-and per.
haps q little tired"
II was the clear voice Of an
educated, well-bred and travelled
American woman, touched with a
faint velvety Southern accent.
Hoodless turned slightly, glancing
out Of the corners of his eyes.
The speaker was the companion
Of the woman whom he had been
seeking. She had been sitting at
the table Immediately behind him,
her back to him.
"Why do you say that he is my
slayer Of lions?" she asked, in a
tone 80 low that Hoodless could
only just catch It.
Both were looking across the
terrace towards the hotel en-
trance, SO that Hoodless could see
the exquisite and delicate profile
Of the lady called Louise.
Her companion laughed softly.
ut Is the English boy you
thought SO perfect. Do you for
get perfection 80 readily, my
dear?"
The lips of the woman-little
more than a girl-parted as she
smiled.
"Oh, no. l had not forgotten
him. But ! do not carry him al
ways on my mind, you know"
It was Marchurst whom they
were discussing. He had just ar
rived and was standing at the en-
trance giving the hall-porter in
structions about his luggage. :.
Hoodless watched him for a mo-
ment, amazed at the change in
him. He was himself again-a
trim, well-groomed, apparently
happy man. The only noticeable
difference between the Marchurst
who had left the hotel for the
house of Sais a few days before
and this quiet, self-possessed boy,
was that he looked pale, a little
tired and a year or two older.
The companion Of the beautiful
American had been very quick to
see that-and she was wholly
right.

His face was wrung and his
eyes guilty az he reached for the
wallet, for despite the few grains
of truth in his argument that his
haphaxsrd though expensive edu-
cation was to a man In his posi-
ton . handicap rather than
boon, he was well aware that It
was not despair which drove him
to hoist the black flag of piracy
but sheer distaste for the years of
hard work and concentration
which any man In any position
must face and endure before he
sees far ahead the first faint
CLEAN Of success.
Crichton Hoodless, like many
before him, was choosing the line
Of least resistance.
He lit another cigarette, and
opened the wallet, shaking out the
letters and papers with which II
was filed. II was the act Of q
man who had deliberately decided
to war upon his fellows-of an
adventurer who had. become q
criminal--a very different act

Half an hour later he rose, put
the wallet carefully away, and
went downstairs.
He found . table on the ter

there should be trouble II ISN'T
necessary to drag you into Il. So,
goodbye, Hoodlsss - and good
luck"
He offered his hand. He looked
years older than when he had left
the hotel.
Hoodless shook hands
"All right-let II Be - you say,
Dick"
A movement across the room
caught his eye and he turned.
Sais was standing In the arch
way, watching them. She had
changed from the quiet clothes she
had worn for the street and was
wearing curious kin,ono-like
wrap Of heavy dull orange silk,
wonderfully embroidered with
black and red dragons Chinese
thing--and she looked more wop-
derful than ever.
"You are going now, vest" she
said to Hoodless. "Wsit . little,
please. heard al you said to
Dick and ! think you are right. I
do not wish Dick to be IL any
danger and It will be good II he
goes with you-to shoot lions
after all. To leave Cairo for q
little"
She came swiftly across the
room, and dropped to the divan
by Marchurst. Her beautiful arms
reached up sliding around his neck
and she pulled his head down.
Listen, my dear" she said
softly. "0ur friend ID right You
must leave Cairo for . little-in
case Of accident. You are to 60
to your shooting and will 60 to
the villa and await you there. It
will be much better like that.
Safer. Are you sorry, Dick? Yes.
And It breaks my heart to send
you away 20. But-because Of
the danger you must Co." She put
her cheek close to his, whispering.
Hoodless stared openly. Was
Il possible that she felt for the boy
lowed him-in the complete and
reckless way in which he loved her.
1t seemed so-Hoodless felt ID.
stinctively that she was not now
acting.
He moved restlessly. Good God,
one would think that they were In
the tranquil garden Of some inno-
cent English yicarage-instead Of
the room adjoining that Of the
dead man.
Sais looked over her shoulder.
"Dick win come to shoot with
yoa-just q Il was all planned
BEFORE" she said. Presently he
will come back to the hotel-pres-
ently-when I have explained"
Hoodless turned briskly, follow
ing Bina, the little Nubian girl
who had appeared in response to
Sais' call.
But, Sais, oh, Sais-what aboht
that-dead man? I am not going
to desert you now-even for .
little time" came Marchurst's
voice, wrung and tormented.
Hoodless fingered TO hear her an.
swer.
II came, clear. musical, ringing
low with q deadly scorn, thrilling
with . wicked pride
Fear not for me, beloved. The
dead man? Whist is q dead man
more or less to me-Sais of Old

Was II q whisper Of despair
that MAJ churst uttered then as Of
. man who sinks beyond aid or
redemption In the morass-or the
sigh of some drugged slave for

passion?
Hoodless heard II and waited to
hear no more. He shrugged his
shoulders, turned away and q mo-
ment later was IN the narrow
street.
He was glad to be free from the
house Of Sais. He touched his
pocket lightly with his finger tips
as though to assure himself Of the
safety Of the letter case he hsd
taken from the dead man, and
made his way swiftly back to the
hotel.

A Big Week.

The week just closed was, with one
exception. the biggest week OF the year
on the New York Stock Exchange in
point of volume of stocks traded in.
The number OF shares changing hands
during the period was 4,026.823, which
is second only to the 4,s20.512 shares
dealt In in the week ended with Janu-
airy 2l. notwithstanding the volume
however, stocks got nowhere in par
ticular. According to the averages OF
fifteen representative industrial issues,
fluctuations were very narrow. although
some OF the pool pets moved violently.
Net changes were therefore small IN
that tabulation, the average price II

on the other hand, moved up in the

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Evening Up Operations Impart
Irregular Tone to Stocks and
Trading Is Small.

Evening up speculative operations in
advance Of the holiday Tomorrow
brought into yesterdays stock market
an irregular trend and only a small
business was done. Although tone of
heaviness prevailed among industrial
shares IL was the subject of remark that
quotations were less affected than might
have been expected by the taxation pro-
gram being shaped for the soldiers
bonus bill. That situation prevailed
from the time that the project of Con-
gress came forward for serious dis
cussion and force has been lent by the
sturdy understructure Of prices to Wall
Streets belief that current taxation
schedules will be modified before the
measure is ready for a vote.
The second day of pressure against
sterling exchange carried its price below
4.s2; in fact. yesterdays minimum was
lower than the preceding Saturdays
final quotation. The reaction, which got
under way on Friday morning undoubt-
profit taking and for that reason it
could not be said yesterday that stable
position had been reached. or the ad-
vance of about 1s cents In fortnight
nearly half has been lost but that fact
hardly cancels the impression that gem
uine and powerful factors are at work
in the exchanges and have to do with
basic conditions of European fiscal and
commercial undertakings. Sterling raj
lied yesterday from It's lowest level. but
left off at Fridays last quotation.
Francs, lire and other rates were heavy.
Cotton prices were firm and 9 to 16
points higher at the close than they were
on Friday. The cotton export demand
is somewhat difficult to size up just now
which has had bearing on price changes
in the last fortnight. In the week ended
on February 10 exports were S1,385
bales, decline of about so per cent.
compared with those Of the preceding
week. but the latter showed a gain Of
nearly so per cent. compared with those
of the week before that. Shipments are
running substantially lower than they
did a year ago. May wheat reached a
new high point at $1.3S bushel but
receded slightly before the end of trad
ing.
The New York Clearing House banks
reported decline of $44.100, 900 in loans
and consequent fall of S27,300,000 i'm
net demand deposits during the week.
Time deposits, however. increased $17.-
100000. A contraction OF 1000, 900 in
carried with the reserve bank
acted to reduce total reserves $751;
100000. causing n deficit of $1,000, 600
for the first time since October 2. The
OF funds away from this city
was emphasized in the statement, just
as it was in the m.dweekly reserve bank
report
