Suey-Koo the daughter of Chai-

of the watcher in the bushes jerked
upward and the Chinaman's eye fell
upon a naked blade, flashing even in

From his hiding place. the man in
greasy black heard the soft, cooling
laughter of the girl, the deep, easy
tones Of the Englishman as he spoke
to her. The moon stole between the
palm trees, as they walked together
toward the screen, Of oiled paper and
woven cane that served to keep the
evil spirits from the house of Chat
Hung and then, as they paused in
the center of the fiower-bordered
path. a thing happened that per-
picked the unseen onlooker strange
". The man in white duck slipped
both arms around the girl, drawing
her to him. A truant ray Of silver
light fell across her flushed cheeks
as through lids haf-closed she looked
up into her lovers face. Suddenly
she pushed him violently from her,
her slim right hand cropping in the
depths Of her sleeve. With a queer
haf-cry, half-sob, she disengaged the
knife that nestled in its glossy sheath
and threw it with all the strength
she could command into the under
growth. A moment later she lay
weeping in the Englishman's arms.
BY a strange freak Of chance the
weapon struck a branch and dropped
within a couple Of yards from where
the Chinaman lay.
With q weird, twisted smile, the
man stretched out a long, lean arm
and secured it. He looked up to see
that a hidden panel in the screen
had been drawn aside, revealing the
face Of Chai-Hung, hideously dis
torted until it resembled that of a
CHASTITY idol. The panel closed, the
lovers moved on toward the building,
and the mysterious interloper rose
noiselessly and crept after them.

the blossom first shows pink the pre- blossom spray is applied to prevent scab and the codling worm. Then every two or three weeks the process has to be repeated. It takes eternal vigilance to produce apples that can be eaten in the dark.
 Inspectors from the marketing as- sociations visit the farms at intervals in the ripening season to see that the orchards are kept up to the standard adopted by the associations. Pruning in the fall gives the apples a chance Early in the season the fruit is thin ned off the trees so that each apple will receive the maximum of sun light and nourishment
 Perhaps the greatest improvement in the industry has come through sorting and packing. At the orchard the fruit is carefully picked and put through grading machines that sort out the sizes. Grades A and B are shipped as eating apples, and the smaller varieties, which are just as good in quality and flavor, are used for culinary purposes.
 Each one of the 45 New York state cooperative associations has adopted a trade name which stands for a certain standard of quality and size. Just as the tires manufactured by certain concern will be uniform so the modern fruit put on the mar ket has been standardized. Each year the quality of the fruit improves as the orchards respond to the care given to them. New varieties are brought to the front and old varie- ties are constantly made better.
 Apples are no longer dumped on the market in a heap" said MT. Cross. Today the cooperative as- sociations have sufficient storage facilities to allow the fruit which will be good in winter to be kept over until the time when it is need ed. The different varieties are placed on a schedule and each one has definite date of release. All the as- sociations are trying to make it pos sible to buy apples all the year around and to have on the mark ct the variety which is at its best at the time of purchase.

been done thus far this year.
 The issuance of approximately S65,000,000 of new securities by the railroads in the past week, includ- ing the large issue of the Southern Pacific and the Southern, indicates that this financing is now coming along as quickly as the market will the past week and the one that 1t Is expected to continue as long as the market remains favorable is that of spacing the loans so that the new is- sues will come into the market fast enough, but not too fast to prevent them from being absorbed by the buying public.
 A large amount of consideration is also being given to the method of financing. Many of the railroads, especially those with the better heavy bond issues of recent years, which have not been accompanied by a proportional amount of preferred and common stock, has left their financial structures "top-heavy." Methods to revise this are being con sidered. One large railroad has under consideration the financing through common stock, but the bankers are discouraging this, believing that it will be possible to float preferred stock without injuring the prices of the present stocks, because a large number of investors have come to look upon preferred stock in reputa- ble communities with favor.
 Most bankers are inclined to be- lieve, though. that the S30O,000, 900 or S400, 000,00 of new financing by the railroads will be in the form of bonds.

west of north by an angle, called declination, that varies according to the location of the point of observa- tion. Thus, in the arctic and ant arctic the declination may be as great as 1S0 degrees And while this decilnation is changing year by year. there is also a marked variation In the degree of declination at different periods of the day. The declination has been found to be greatest during the hours of sunlight. It has also been established that the magnetic. are frequently swept by violent storms, when the variations often be- come many times as great as during periods of normalcy.
 Dr. Bauer received a wireless mes sage from Dr. MacMillan last Satur- day. It was picked out of the air by Jack Barnsley, an amateur operator in Prince Rupert, Canada, who is so intensely interested in the work of the MacMillan expedition that he watches carefully for it's messages and on many occasions has relayed dispatches that would otherwise have been lost.
 After confirming that the observa- tory had been completed and the in- struments mounted, the famous ex- plorer said that the last observations taken showed the westward decl1na- tion of the compass at Refuge harbor to be 101 degrees away from true north and the magnetic dip to be almost,S ,SS degrees, while the magnetic force directing the compass needle IS about one fifth only that at Wash ington.

have been much larger. This is ac- counted for by the condition in the market, which was considered un- favorable on account of the high in terest rate. #
 A recent analysis of the situati on by the bureau of railway economics made for the American Railway as sociation at it's last meeting showed that the railroads were far behind in their money raising program as compared with last year. While the figures they were able to arrive at showed difference of between $500, 100000 and s7oo,ooo,ooo between capital expenditures for this year and the amount of new financing those in position to know say that the needs of the railroads to catch up financially with their inn provement will be far less than this amount. They declare that the condi- tions in the money market were so satisfactory in 1922 that many of the railroads did advance financing with the result that approximately $100,- 000.000 of capital was carried over to be used for the expenditures this year. Besides this, the capital raised since the last of September this year has been in excess of S10O,- 000,000.
 There is also a reduction for the roads that are not declaring divi- dends on their stock but are blowing back all of their earning into capi- tai expenditures. Another item that will reduce the total is the 25 or 30 per cent that the railroads must ad- vance out of their treasuries on the purchase of new equipment before it Is possible for them to float equip ment trust certificates.
 Combined, it is figured that these reductions will bring the amount that the railroads still have to cover down to between $300,000, 900 and $400, 900, 900, a large sum when com pared with the financing that has

ing' the more subdued shade, a case of the one famous book killing" all the other books to which a writer has devoted his life.
 And the widely known book Is not always the writers best. In Defoes case it probably is. but some of the other books that stand to his credit are hardly less worth while and would have high rank in English literature if not overshadowed by Robinson Crusoe. And if Defoe's other books were killed" by Cru soc" in it's genuine form, there would be comfort in the thought that at least Defoe was being read at his best, but in reality the undoubted works of art like "A Journal of the Plague Year" and "Moll Flanders have been crowded out by adaptations of adaptations of the real Robinson 'Crusoe." And so D--niel Defoe does not exist for thousands who are capable of enjoying him. Which is a pity.-Arnold Mulder in the outlook.

There is curious fact about Rob inson Crusoe'-it has killed" all the other books of Defoe for the gen eral reader, just as rich shade of green gown may "kilP a gown of more subdued green in ballroom.
 Such books as "A Journal of the Plague Year" and "MolI Flanders" have a right to recognition on their own account, but they are almost never read because they are by the author of Robinson Crusoe." The story of Defoe's sailor has so oc- cupied that attention of the world that there seems to be no capacity left to read his other works.
 This is a common phenomenon in literature. Who reads or has read the other books by the author of Ben hur?" Who reads or has read any of the books of Harriet Beecher Stowe except Uncle Toms Cabin? ?' It is a case of the richer green kill

NEW YORK. Nov. 24-Railroads of the United States will be in the money market for between s3oo, GOO, 900 and s4oo, 900, 900 in the next few months to meet the capital eX penditures they have made during the past year, according to the esti- mates of railroad executives and bankers. These estimates are based on the fact that the expenditures of the railroads this year that can be classed as new capital' equal ap- proximately S1,000, 100000 and only s32O, ,000, 900 of this amount had been raised by long-term bond issues in the first nine months of this year.
 The railroads were more than s20O, 100000 behind their financing program of 1922 on September 30. all though the expenditures this year centuries students of terrestrial mag netism have been searching for the mysterious force that is pulling the compass needle around at will and causing the magnetic poles to change their positions.
 Observatories have been stationed all over the earth for the study of these phenomena. Several times the Carnegie institution has sent an ob- server with expeditions into the but never before with such suspicious opportunities for such thorough observations. Whether or not his reports will result in modern science reaching the end of it's rain- bow and the pot of golden knowledge, only time can tell.
