LIBERTY BONDS WORTH MORE
Advance in Price Has Added $1,000
100000 to Their Value
This Year.

New York, Dec. 31.-The advance in
Liberty bonds this year has added
approximately $1,000, 100000 to their
value, it was estimated. The greater
part of the gain was made in the lat
ter part of the year, the buying move
ment starting about September ! and
reaching its crest in the latter part
of November when many issues sold at
the highest levels for the year. The
buying was for investment purposes,
attracted by the low prices many
bonds had been selling at. The great
est advance was made in Liberty 31as,
which rose 5000 from the low price
of the year. The fourth Liberty's
rose about ten points which increased
the value of the $6,35O,000,000 out
standing bonds more than 100000, 1000.
The treasury, it is estimated, has re-
tired approximately 100000 of Lib
erty bonds this year

Hoodless, good-humoredly, his re-
lief plain In. his voice and eyes.
But he got no further, for wild
clamor from outside suddenly
shattered the peace of the camp.
Marchurst, staring out, gave q
sharp exclamation and violently
jammed back into the breech Of
his rifle the cartridges he had been
balancing in his land, closed the
breech with q metallic snap and
ran out into the half-light.
On his heels leaped the black,
shouting furiously.
Hoodless sprang after them,
startled. He saw instantly what
had inspired this sudden alarm.
One of the wood-cutters was
running desperately towards the
camp, and, behind, came leaping,
in long, easy bounds, very swiftly
in spite of the appearance of ef-
fortress grace, an enormous
leopard.
The boy had been among the
fuel cutters, and had fingered too
long at his search, or wandered
too far from the camp. The big
sbeast was at his very heels.
A little crowd of the men were
racing towards the boy, screaming
and waving firebrands. But for
all their quickness and courage it
was through these that the unfor-
tunate victim was doomed. They
ran in, blocking Marchurst's line
Of sight completely. The wild
below of the big headman to
spread out or swerve, drove across
to them a fraction too late.
Once a gap appeared for a few
seconds, through which the leop-
ard, rising in his last spring,
showed no more than blur be-
yond the dancing flames of the
firebrands, and the heavy report
of Marchurst's rifle rang out stun
ningly as he fired both barrels al
most simultaneously. But it was
no more than a snapshot and the
two jets of sand which spurted
violently into the air a few inches
behind the leopard registered the
miss. which was almost inevitable.
Then came wild scream of
pain and deadly terror, a muffled
snarl-and Ell Addar ceased shout
ing.
Reloading swiftly, Dick March
urst saw the leopard bounding
away towards the hills from which
he had issued, his jaws clamped

between the neck and shoulder of
the boy, dragging his victim with
no more apparent effort than .
fox bearing away fowl.
Marchurst ran forward, closing
his rifle as he ran. But he was
too late-even as he flung the
rifle to his shoulder the swiftly
moving beast vanished into the
shadowy mouth of the valley.
With all the speed Of which he
was capable Marchurst hurried
after the killer. A few yards be-
hind him Hoodless ran, and every
man who could seize q weapon or
a flaming brand raced to aid
them.
The night shut down upon them
as they entered the mouth Of the
valley. They pushed swiftly in
among the stone-strewn, rocky
floor Of the gorge. Ell Addar, way
ing flower of flame in each hand.
shouting to his men to keep close
in to the rifles, led the way. Br.
they had not far to 60.
The big black stopped abruptly
fifty yards up the valley, point
ing with his torch to a ledge of
rock away to the right. There, in
the ruddy, shifting glare from the
burning brands Marchurst and
Hoodless saw dimly a sight which
remained with thci, all their life.
Hunched upon the ledge, they
could see the outline of the great
beast, black and monstrous In the
Pickering, smoky light, its head
hung low, its great shoulder jut-
ting up like, a peak of rock. 1t
was glaring down at them, its eyes
two globes of green and lambent
fire. One great paw was resting
on the chest of its victim, whose
naked legs dangled helplessly over
the ledge.
The rifles crashed simultaneous
ly. There was a half-strangled
roar and suddenly Dick Marchurst
felt himself thrust aside as Hood
less leaped in front of him, fred
again and then thrust furiously
with the muzzle of his rifle at a
snarling thing that had leaped
straight out from a cavern in the
rock wall almost exactly over the
spot where Dick Marchurst had
been standing. The leopardess--
mate of the man-killer!

Horror seized him and held him
rigid. The laugh was ringing all
about him, echoing back from rock
to rock, tinkling, trembling, taking
hundred new infections, but al
ways with that silver quality that
had been its charm. He lifted his
hands to his head to shut out the
sound, but he could hear it rinyi
into his brain; the laugh OF Mag
dalena, the child laugh that had
been the chief grace Of her young
womanhood.
An Indian legend dimly came
back to him; the story of o man
who had been pursued by the
dying whispers of the woman he
had murdered Was this to be his
punishment-to be pursued by the
laugh that he had killed?
The wild pounding of his heart
stopped him. He had been run
ming, sobbing brea .hlcssly in terror
of a phantom that ran with him.
Spent and exhausted, he went
down, only to be urged up and on
again by the silver tinkle that
came to him, now near, now far.
but always with the blithe ring
that he knew. Overhead the tran
quill stars CLEANED, and the young
moon glided through the velvet
sky, but he saw only the shadows
that the moonlight cast, and, trem-
bling, ran from them.
He had forgotten Luis. Beating
in upon his brain, the silver tones
mocked all thought of human ven-
geance as they Knocked all pity for
human weariness. Torn by the
thorny brush. bruised by many
falls on the rough, stony trail, he
would yet have counted himself
blest il he could have a moments
respite from the incessant tinkle
Of that phantom laugh. The stars
paled and the moon went down. In
the blacker darkness he stumbled
along, and always the silver laugh
kept pace with him.
"Magdalenay' he cried, aloud.
"By the pity of Christi
"Magdalenar' came back the
echo, interviewer with silver tones,
"By the pity" and then the
laugh, more clear, more metallic
than ever.
"Magdalena, l dep he gasped,
desperately.
"Diew rang back the echo, and
though he was. sobbing aloud he
could hear the tinkle that came
with the response.
Then in frenzy Of madness he.
too, laughed, and the silver tones
blended with his as they had on
nights too well remembered. He
sang, and Magdalena's silver notes
paid tribute to the crazy tones as
they had to his more artful music
Madly he stumbled along, crying,
singing, shouting wildly. and
laughing in ,.craSy hysteria, but
the silver laugh was with his every
echo and his haste did not outrun
Suddenly he stumbled, fell, and
Z plunged into q gully. Crying with
fstigue, he pulled himself up to the
trail again, and in the faint light
Of dawn he looked over a steep
precipice, a scar in the rock face
Of the mountain. But even as ne
looked the silver laughter came
nearer; sounded at his very shoul-
der. With . mad shrek he
plunged down the precipice into
the rock heap at the foot OF the
mountain scar.
There was . faint, answering
cry Of fear, and half . dozen
stones slid down from the trai! ~
Chiquita, her silver bells jangIing,
paused 1t the edge Of the preci-
pice, and looked with mild eyes at
the shspeles heap below.
