Sugar Prices Are Cut

ging demand by consumers. Fine gran
ulated was reduced to $3.50 by one OF
the leading New York refiners. The
cut was generally followed by others,
although the latter's list prices ranged
from $8.70 to $8.S5. Prices represent
a cut of about IL cent and follow a
similar reduction in the cost of raw
sugar. For some weeks both the raw
and the refined markets have been

projection as a support to either hand
or foot, and thus steadily approaching
the opening overhead. Her courage
had returned; there had been no at
tack from beneath, no evidence of
life.
Deborah reached the end Of her
climb breathless, her limbs aching
from eXertion, her heart sinking with
dismay. 1t never could be accom-
plished, the passage of her body
through that narrow opening to the
world without. How sweet the fresh
air felt; how beautiful the blue arch
of sky, yet it was hopeless of attain
ment. The very madness of the
thought proved her salvation. Crazed
for the moment, she began to dig
tiercely with her fingers at the OBJ
struction, tearing at a projecting point
Of rock, which suddenly yielded to the
furious attack, a stream of loosened
sand pouring after. Little by little,
madly tearing at the sides of the ori-
flee, she managed to wear away every
fragment back to the solid rim of rock
She unbelted the revolver and flung
it through the opening; then drew her
self upward, fearful every instant of
being irretrievably caught, yet find
ing purchase below for her feet suffi-
cient to thrust her slender body stead
lily forward. At last her shoulders
emerged into the outer day, and she
was enabled to drag the rest of her
body over the rim of rock. Utterly
exhausted, Deborah lay on the sand,
gasping for breath, conscious only that
she had found refuge in a shallow
ravine. She lay there outstretched
in the shadow of a steep bank, with
out strength even to lift her head.

hind that barrier of rock, and she
drew the revolver out Of it's holster,
and listened eagerly for any sound of
guidance from below. If he made any
effort to climb up, she meant to shoot
to kill.
She dare not venture to advance
her face around the rock edge, for
fear the movement might bring her
into view against that vista of light.
The fellow was evidently waiting and
watching just as she was, disconnected
by her strange disappearance. No
doubt he half believed his bullet had
found its mark, that she had fallen,
either wounded or dead, into some
crevice, but was afraid as yet to VEN
ture up that narrow tunnel. She
could not remain there indefinitely
waiting for him to gain courage to
attempt the ascent. Her hand, with
the weapon in it, reached noiselessly
out beyond the edge of the rock, and
pointed downward. A stone ratified
below and her finger pulled the trigger.
The muff1ed report echoed back from
the rocks, the red flash of the dis
charge faded into darkness, and the
pungent smoke blew back into her
face; but there was nothing else No
cry, no crunch of falling body, no
thud Of lead. She listened helplessly,
half crazed to empty every load from
her poised weapon into that silence
below. What could 1t all mean? What
had happened behind that black veil?
An hour passed, an hour of dreadful
watching, of tense expectation 1t
seemed to her the blue light streaming
through that opening was already los
ing its power, as though the sun was
going down. If she would escape she
must go while she could yet see the
way. Desperate as the chance was, it
must be accepted. She did not look
down, or permit herself to think of
the possible danger lurking below

Joe Fogarty's Coaching Has
Resulted in Remarkable
Squirt PennantWard.

Yale is the dark horse of the
intercollegiate basketball race. Last
year the Blue had disastrous sea-
son, losing every game on the
Christmas transforming trip and
all their games in the intercolle-
giate league series. Yale's come
back this year under the coaching
OF Joe Fogarty has been so en-
couraging that the Ellis are loking
forward to winning the title.
In jumping from nowhere to the
lead of the college race, Yale has
taken a high hurdle. Princeton
was a favorite when the race start
ed, and Cornell beat the Tigers.
Yale defeated Cornell on the Yale
court by a single point. The Ellis
at ithaca. and the basketball sharps
predict that the Ithacans will prob
ably not lose game on their home
court this season.
While the Yale five has the
league up in the air with its sud
den squirt this season, the Blue has
not got the title cinched by any
means.
Yale has two games to play with
Princeton and two with Penn. They
are not worrying much about the
two games to be played with CO.

Dartmouth is to be played in New

Luis Ffrpo. the South American
heavyweight, is on his way to this
country at the invitation of the

Bill Brennan in New York in
March. The rise of this boxer from
the Argentine has been meteoric.
Tt was only a year ago that he
came from South America. work
ing out his passage. He could not
speak English and watched several
bouts in Newark before he finally
got a chance to show his skill.
He got $3.50 for his debut, and
he scored knockout against Sailor
Naked. He won all his bouts here
by knockouts and return to South
America a hero. His bout there
with Jim Tracy brought him $780,

returns and is on the high road to
prosperity. Next summer Firpo may
be the man to get a chance at the
