CHAPTER CXII.
Sandy smiled f1xedly at the ola
woman. In the quiet of whitening
shock she looked into the old WON
ans winking eyes. She said pleas
antly in a faint. trailing voice. "A
murderer? All, you must be mis-
taken"
The old woman wrinkled UP her
face till her mouth and eyes were
narrow Sits. She nodded her I'M

She sat up. She slid her feet to
the floor standing a moment at the
bed, whispering little wildly

give me strength"
She went feeling along the wall,
pausing every moment, raising her
head and inhaling laboriously as
though her thought were drowning.
At the door she stumbled. But
she recovered quickly and smiled.
Her face utterly white, she smiled
vaguely and murmured: No

GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

CHICAGO, July 1.-Wheat scored a
sharp advance in price here today ow-
ing good deal to export sales esti-
mated as high as 100000 bushels.
There were also adverse reports from
the spring wheat, both American and
Canadian, together with a surprising
upturn in quotations at Liverpool The
Chicago wheat market closed strong,
nc to &c net higher, corn a to 1kc
up, oats showing a 1asc to 1c gain and
provisions at a rise of zoe to 55c.
Virtually the topmost prices of the
day prevailed in the wheat market at
the finish, despite heavy selling to
realize profits. Unofficial forecasts
here today of domestic spring wheat
production this season averaged 207,-
100000 bushels, and it was pointed out
that only four times in 20 years has
the prospective total been so small.
Furthermore, advices were at hand
that on account of excessive hot
weather and drought, much wheat,
both in North and South Dakota, would
hardly yield enough to make seed. One
leading authority said the condition of
spring wheat as a whole was down to
DOL per CGHIS dS SdlIlSI JOt last year,
and a 10-year average of nearly "a.
Although some rain fell in the Amer
lea nnorthwest today, most wheat trad
ers considered the amount too small
to be of material benefit. Estimates
on the probable Canadian crop were
conflicting, but one expert figured the
probable output at 329,OOO,000 bushels
for the three chief provinces, a decid-
edly smaller aggregate than last years
harvest.
The average of estimates on domes-
tic winter wheat, 562,O0O,000 bushels,
was about as generally expected.
Country offerings today southwest
were reduced.
Corn and oats derived their strength
largely from the action of wheat. Crop
estimates on corn and oats were con-
strued as somewhat bullish, but corn
belt weather conditions were favorable.
Provisions rose with hogs and grain.

MEXICO MOVES TO PAY
LAND DEBT TO YAQUIS
(By the Associated Press)

NOGALES, July IA problem con-
fronting Mexico for the last 20 years.
growing out of the central govern
ment's treatment of the Yaqui Indians
in the state of Sonora, is in the process
of being solved. In effect, the gov
ernment is seeking to pay a debt owed
the Indians through confiscation of
lands
Many years ago the Yaquis, an ordi-
narily peaceful and Industrious tribe,
but as capable of unmitigated cruelty,
lost their rich lands. Some of their
acreage was given to large land con-
Germs by concession. Other land was
taken over by the government because
the Indians were allowing it to lie idle.
The vast domain dwindled until it was
only tiny parcel.
Peaceful, But Became Merciless.
Then the tribe went on the war-path,
withdrawing far into the Bacatete
mountains, the strongholds of their
fathers. They became treacherous, fe
rocious and merciless in the torture of
them victims. Diaz, then president, ex
lied many, killed off others and scat
tered the bands. This increased their
hatred of the Mexican government.
With the passing of Diaz came a
calm in many sections of the Indian
country, but not until General Obregon
became president did the Indians be-
come paciffed. They returned to their
lands and worked them with the fl
nancial assistance of the government.
Since then the Yaqui has been peace
full He has been sowing and caring
for his lands and developing into a
first class citizen.
To Return Land, If Worked.
Now Mexico is turning it's attention
to the problem of compensation, but
this time not in a spirit.o conquest
The government, through the secretary
of the treasury, is to help the Yaqui
acquire the acreages settled upon by
both Mexican and foreigner.
The central governments plan calls
for an order of payment on lands un-
lawfully acquired or their return. In
either case, the Yaqui will be recon-
pensated Lands taken by the govern
ment would be returned to the tribe
wit honly one provision-that they be
worked.

RAIL STOCKS
TAKE LEAD AS
PRICES FALTER
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

NEW YORK, July Railroad shares
took up the leadership of the stock
market today as industrials faltered
under wave of pre-holiday profit
taking. For the greater part of the
active trading session. construction op-
erations were successfully carried on
in the face of professional attempts
to bring about reaction. Selling pres
sure grew heavier toward the close,
forcing recessions of 1 to points, in
contrast to an equal number of net
gains ranging up to- 6 points.
Re-awakened interest in the carrier
stocks was credited to the completion
by the Can Sweringens of a modified
plan for the Nickel Plate merger, once
barred by the Interstate Commerce
commission. This development it was
believed, would put new life into 9TH
er pending consultations and benefit
most of the stocks involved in the
Nickel Plate deal because of the more
favorable terms outlined in the new
proposal.
Erie first and second preferred is
sues were whirled up about points
to new high records for the year be-
fore reacting slightly at the close.
Nickel Plate, Chesapeake and Ohio
and Pere Marquette kept pace with the
rice, all attaining the best levels of
1926
A basis for the buying movement in
other leading railway shares was found
in the maintenance of car loadings at
the rate of more than million week,
giving promise of further improvement
in earnings, with the peak of the crop
still to come. Union Pacific
sold at 1858, the best price since 1914.
The outbreak of profit taking which
developed in u S. Steel and General
Motors was regarded as a natural de-
in view of their impressive
advances earlier in the week. After
fluctuating uneveningly through the
day, both issues closed 1 A points net
lower at 1921 and 1864 respectively.
Dupont, Mack Trucks, Crucible Steel,
u. S. Alcohol, Fisher Body, New York
Dock, Otis Steel, preferred, and Pan
Handle Producing, preferred, fell back
L to points.
The commodity markets were, firmer.
better export demand accounted for
advances of about cents a bushel in
wheat futures, while cotton rallied 8
to Is points on covering in anticipa-
ton of tomorrow's government crop re-
port. Coffee and sugar were slightly
lower.
Further evidence that the strain at
tendant upon the distribution of some
5000, ,OOOO in dividend and interest
payments had been relieved was shown
by the drop in call money to Az per
cent after renewal rate of ~. Time
money and commercial paper rates
were unchanged.
The conflict over French financial
policies caused a sharp break of more
than 10 points in the Franc to a new
low record for all time, around 2.S7
cents. Belgian francs held relatively
firm at 2.83 cents, but demand sterling
eased off slightly to $486h.
