MAIN SPECULATIVE
MARKETS ADVANCE
DURING PAST WEEK
Heavy Outside Demand Aids
Motors, Sugars, Equipments,
Oils, and Steels.

NEW YORK, March 1O.--HarClly
without exception, developments in
the financial district during the
past week were conducive to higher
prices in the principal speculative
markets.
Under stimulus OF q heavy outside
demand for speculative stocks ana
particularly the accessories, sugars,
equipments, and few OF the oil and
steel stocks, there was another large
weekly volume of transactions, ana
on none Of the full sessions were
transactions less than one million
shares A new high price average
was marked up for the Industrial
stocks: but, as in the preceding
week, the rails fell back fractionally
as result of the weeks trading.
The two most important factors in
influencing Wall Street sentiment
this week were the continued ad-
vance in commodity prices and the
favorable development in the money
market. A steadily advancing price
range has been recorded for most
OF the commodities entering into the
daily consumption Of the people.
Not only in the New York finan.
Cial district, but also in the principal
money centers of the country the
week furnished new evidence OF the
abundance OF money and bank credit
for all legitimate purposes. Despite
the fact that brokers loans have
been steadily rising, it was also plain
to be seen that the time had not
yet come for pulling in the purse
strings on speculative borrowing ac-
counts. This fact proved to be
somewhat of q surprise and a dis
appointment to the bearish traders,
who had begun to look upon the
money market as an important ally
In hating the advance of prices.

Cameron experienced shuddering
ripple In all his being-the physical
rack Of an emotion born Of new and
strange consciousness. He felt that
1t had been given him to help Warren
with his burden.
He returned to camp trying to
evolve plan. All night he lay
awake thinking.
In the morning, when Warren
brought the burros to camp and began
preparations for the usual packing.
Cameron broke silence.

Warren leaned forward little and

Cameron met the gaze unfllnchingly.
and again began to speak:
"You know, Of course, how men out

Warren stiffened upright. 1t seemed
that there might have been blank,

grew cold; and 1t took tremendous

The old man rose and lowered over

harsh contact, the pain awakened
Cameron to his peril before II was

him from being hurled to the ground
and stamped and crushed. Warren
seemed maddened giant. There was
a reeling, swaying, wrestling struggle
before the elder man began to weaken.

PROLOGUE

A face haunted Cameron-a wom-
ans face. 1t was there In the white
heart of the dying campfire; II hung
In the shadows that lowered over the
nickering light; 1t drifted In the dark
ness beyond.
This hour. when the day had closed
and the lonely desert night set In with
its dead silence, was one In which
Cameron's mind was thronged with
memories Of time long past-of
home back In Peoria, OF woman he
had wronged and lost, and loved too
late. He was a prospector for gold,
q hunter of solitude, lover OF the
dread, rock-ribbed infinltude, because
he wanted to be alone to remember.
Then a snarp cllnk Of metal on
stone and soft pads Of hoofs In sand
prompted Cameron to reach for his
gun, and to move out Of the light OF
the waning campfire.
Figures darker than the gloom ap-
preached and took shape. and In the
light turned out to be those OF a white
man and heavily packed burro.
Hello there" the man called, as
he came to halt and gazed about
him. II saw your fire. May l make
camp here?"
Cameron came forth out of the
shadow and greeted his visitor, whom
hs took for prospector like himself.
Cameron resented the breaking of his
lonely campfire vigil, but he respect
cd the law Of the desert.
The stranger thanked him, and then
slipped the pack from his burro.
Then he rolled out his pack and began
preparations for meal. The camp
are burst into bright blaze, and by
its light Cameron saw a man whose
rray hair somehow did not seem to
make him old, and whose stopped
shoulders did not detract from an Inn
preston of rugged strength.
Another Of those strange desert
prospectors in whom there was some
relentless driving power besides the
lust for goldl Cameron felt that be-
tween this man and himself there was
q subtle affinity, vague and underlined,
perhaps born Of the divination that
here was a desert wanderer like him
self. perhaps born Of a deeper, an un-
Ineligible relation having Its roots
back In the past A long-forgotten
sensation stirred In Cameron's breast,
one 80 long forgotten that he could
not recognize It But 1t was akin to
pain.
When he awakened he found, to his
surprise, that his companion had de-
parted. A trail In the sand led on to
the north. There was no water In
that direction. Cameron shrugged his
shoulders; II was not his affair; ne
had his own problems. And straight
way he forgot his strange visitor.
Cameron began his day, grateful Tor
the solitude that was now unbroken.
for the. .canon-furrowed, cactus-spired
scene that now showed no sign OF
life. while II was yet light, and he
was digging In moist white-bordered
wash for water. he was brought
sharply up By hearing the crack OF
hard hoofs on stone. There down the

Her long-shaped eyes had a hard
glitter. She was breathing quickly
and she wetted her lips with her
tongue.
There was noise of splintering
wood.
They're breaking open the
crates that hold the wine jars"
was Cassandra's thought. A num-
Der of feet were stamping back
and forth outside. The hubbub Of
voices was louder than ever. She
found herself beginning to CULVER,
uncontrollably.
"Cassandra r.
Some one outside the tent open
ing uttered her name. She knew
that it was Evan. Pushing past q
couple of others she came to the
opening on Iher knees. He was
standing there-his hand helped
her to her feet. All in a fash, as
he raised her up, she saw that he
looked graver, older.
The splintered wood Of the
crates lay all about. Wine had
been spilled-there was great
puddle of it on the planking and It
trickled toward the bulwarks as
the galley rolled. A mob of men
al freed rowers-were ir q
seething cluster just before her.
She saw one raise a two-handled
amphora, throw his head right back
and drink from the jagged lip
where the neck of it had been
broken clean off. The wine
drenched him, forming q pool be-
tween his feet.
Evan was gripping her arm. He
hurried her forward, not speaking.
The man who had drunk from the
amphora stood straddling in their
way. He was bull necked, with a
scrubby growth of beard.
Lucky dog oh, you cursed
lucky dogW he hiccuped. ANY
more like that in there ?"-hs
-jerked his thumb toward the tent.
Evan swerved aside from him.
The other turned half around as
though to follow, staggered and
came down heavily in sitting
posture.

shouted several voices.

Ahead was the low doorway
opening from which the half-caste
scourger had emerged. On either
side Of it q ladder led TO the little
platform above where the sailor
had collapsed. lying fiat on his
belly, glazing with panic fear, his
knife between his teeth. No one
lay there now, but red stain was
visible, and dark drops, like the
drops Of a red dew, beaded the.
platform edge.
Guided by the firmly gripping
hand that had closed about her
arm, Cassandra lowered her head
and passed through the opening.
Evan followed her. There was a
close, vile smell. She tripped over
a mattress >and stopped. Evan
gr0ped' along the walls for some
rents and then she saw that
there was a short brass-hilted
sword Of the Roman pattern in his
hand. His ankle ring and the
chain attached to it were gone.
Shrill shrieks and screams came
to them, but they were not the
outcries Of true fear. Mems

marked sailor who had scurried up
to the platform behind the figure
head and fallen there.
A little quick, hard laugh of ex-
element came from the green-eyed
girl at the tent. opening. Clytie
pressed both hands over her mouth.
A pause, and then a scream-a
mans scream, raucous with fury,
terror, pain-all three. The green
eyed girl drew back a little from
the opening.
They're scourging the Master!"
she laughed across her shoulder.
Cassandra remembered the blood
on the face of the Jewish lad and
the bruises that had mottled his
body.
She felt a savage gladness that
they were scourging the Master.
The screaming continued, be-
coming shriller as the Masters
pride ebbed under the plated
lashes that were weighted with pei
lets Of metal. They might have
been the outcries of woman or
Of an animal now-ear-splitting,
knife-edged with shameless agony.
They were horrible to hear. They
made the heart vince as from a
blow inflicted upon the listener.
One Of the girls at the tent OPEN
ing retreated from it, but the
auburn-headed one remained, cram
ing forward as tensely as ever.
Clytie threw her arms tightly
round the woman nearest to her
and hid her face. Cassandra, glad
at first, covered up her ears and
closed her eyes.
"Why don't they kill him?
Why don't they kill him." she said
over and over again within her
self.
Whimpering sounds came to her
dimly. She pressed her palms
more tightly over her ears to shut
them out.
Some one nudged her and she
raised her head. It was the gree

fused sounds Of brawling, half
drunken quarrel. Then another
Shriller scream hysterical. And
then more laughter.
Evan came close to Cassandra.
She had turned, facing the door
way. Her hands were at her sides,
clenched unconsciously into fists as
though she were waiting to strike
something. The timbers Of the
galley creaked continually and the
rush of the water parted by the
driving prov was a ceaseless
swishing sound. Where they
were it was very dim, but beyond

trife and there was blood on him
the half-caste's blood.
"Did you strike that man?',, he
said.
Cassandra glanced down. The
sailor she had hit with the club
still lay on his side, but by him
squatted the Jewish lad, and, even
as she looked, the boy, resting q
hand upon the mans shoulder to
steady himself, drove the master
of the galley's dagger deliberately
into his throat, where it sank up
to the hilt.
