NOW 60 on WITH THE STORY


During the early dusk Gray returned

he was decidedly uncomfortable, and
10 add 10 his discomfort, he conceived
the notion that he was bring followed
ON second thought he dismissed this
idea. nevertheless he took a round
about course back toward the main
street.
Before long Gray found himself In
superheated. overerowded hack
room with n stack OF silver dollars
which he scattered eareleRsly upon
the numbers OF roulette table,
Roulette was much like the oil game,
This was a good way in which 10 Kill
an hour.
Absorbed In his own thoughts,
Gray paid little heed those about
him, until large hand picked mp
enc OF his bets. Then he raised MS
eyes. Tho hand was attached TO a
muscular arm. which In turn WIS at
taehed 10 n burly stranger OF unpeas-
ant mien. Gray voiced good
natured protest. but the fellow seowl-
ed and refused 10 acknowledge his
mistake. Noting that the man was
flushed Gray shrugged and allowed
the incident 70 pass. This bootleg
vhiskey from across Red River was
Of a quality TO scatter persons eye
sight.
For some time the game continued
before Gray won again, and the dealer
deposited thirty-five silver dollars be-
side his bet. Again that sun-browned
hand reached forth. but this time
Gray seized 1t by the wrist.
With a wrench the man undertook
TO free his hand he uttered a threat
ening oath. The next instant ne was
treated to surprise, for Gray lerked
Rim forward and simultaneously his
empty palm struck the fellow a bind

cuffed the fellows face. this time
from the other side. When he final
~ desisted the stranger rocked in his
tracks; he shook his head: he blinked
and he cursed; 1t was moment pc
fore he could focus his whirling sight
upon his assailant. When ne sue
coeded 1t was to behold the latter
staring at him with hooking, threat

1'he drunken man hesitated, he cast
a slow glance around the room, tnen
muttering, hoarsely, he turned ana
made for the door. He was followed
by a burst of derisive laughter that
grew louder as he went
Gray was in better mood no"
than for several hours; he had vented
his irritation; the air had cleared
After O while he discovered that ne

STINNES MAY. YET GET
 TURKISH CONCESSIONS
Americans Will Be Given Until No-
 scmber 25 to Live Up to New Terms

London. Nov. 15s-A dispatch from Angora says that the Turkish govern ment has sent Colonel Clayton K en- nedy, representing the Ottoman-Am- erican development company, new conditions regarding the so-called Chester concessions demanding an as- surance that they will be fulfilled be- fore November 25. The dispatch adds that if Col. Clayton Kennedy and his American associates cannot meet these conditions, the Turkish govern ment may award the concessions to Hugo Shines who is understood to be negotiating directly with Angora
 Under the terms of the agreement negotiated by Col. Kennedy in behalf of the Ottoman-American develop ment company with the grand nation al assembly of Turkey, the conces- sion rights were to lapse if work was not begup by November 9. Col. Ken ncdy, who is now in London, said to- day that operations were started ten days ago and that all the terms of the agreement had been fulfilled. I was illegal, he asserted, for the Angora government to set new conditions and he discredited the idea that the Turks would award the concessions to Herr Shines.
 "Onc Of Shines representatives" he continued, approached me on the matter and I declined to sec him. British. French and other foreign in- terests have also been after the con- sessions, but the contract has been definitely awarded to Americans and the work will be carried out by Am orleans.

STATUS OF RUHR STILL IN DOUBT
Parleys With Berlin Continue-'
 Much Political Talk

Paris Nov. 15.-Adyices from French sources in Berlin say that the negotiations between representatives of the occupied territories and the Stresemann government concerning the future status of the Ruhr and Rhineland are continuing this morn ing.
 Berlin, Nov. 15.--The opponents of the Stresemann ministry are making political capital of the reported change of the governments policy to- ward the Ruhr and Rhineland, and 1t seems certain they will bring the issue before the Reichstag when that body reconvenes next Tuesday.
 The governments decision to let these territories shift for themselves at least while they are occupied, was made known in official quarters last night when it was announced that after Nov. 25 the Reich would no longer be able to meet the unemploy- ment bills in the Ruhr and Rhineland.
 Tn the event that political pressure does not force a change in the policy of the government, it is believed the local authorities in the occupied re- gions will be empowered to deal with the French and Belgian regime, thus making the future of the areas de- pendent upon such agreements as may be effected in local negotiations. This also, it is pointed out, would place a preponderant share of the responsi- bility for the peoples fate upon the shoulders of France and Belgium.
