NEW YORK, December 21.-Utilities
furnished the strong spot in a less ac-
tive curb market today. Unlike yes
terday's session, the market was not
pronouncedly bearish, most of the de-
clines being fractional.
Only two issues, Electric Bond &
Share and Cities Service, opened with
large blocks. The former opened with
block of 1000 shares at 763s. up 1s
and the latter appeared with lot OF
$500 shares at 227s, down %.
The consolidation plan proved dud
so far as rails on the curb were con-
cerned. Pennroad Corporation hit a
new low record of 1879 within a few
dealings. or down ls. Pittsburgh &
Lake Erie came out unchanged at
1125s and Chesapeake g. Ohio new was
slightly lower at 5l5s.
Approval of the acquisition OF New
Orleans, Great Northern Railway by
Gulf, Mobile S Northern Railroad had
no effect on the formers stock. The
motors likewise were little affected by
news. Ford Motor of Canada A at one
time was down more than a point.
Fox Theaters A was one of the weak
est spots in industrials as 1t registered a
new lew record. Great Atlantic 81
Pacific Tea pointed higher, while Tubize
Artificial Silk rallied after an early
relapse. November world copper sta
tistics, showing the smallest production
since last February, went unnoticed by
the red metal shares.

crossed her knees, and Mrs. Colfax was

opens the football season of the Lexing-
ton High School, when the Purple Wave
meets the valiant warriors from Green
wood at the new athletic field. This is

son and will mark the beginning of four
more games each Friday that will take
place following each weekly date through
November 8.
Greenwood and Lexington are both
presenting a strong squad to battle for
honors on this occasion, and judging
from the advance dope of both teams,
this game is going to be one of the best
in the locals schedule. Both sides have
played almost an equal number of game es
this season, defeating their opponents
in handsome style and their last weeks
scoring totalling high in points.
Season tickets have been on sale this
week and are finding ready buyers it
is learned, and the purchase is not only
an evidence of the teams supporters but
decided saving in event you atten5a

School. These tickets admit the holder
to all contests, football, basket ball and
baseball, and are good thruout the scho-
lastic session of 1920-30.

Watson have sent out invitations town
wide to all lovers Of football to be pres
ent at their opening game tomorrow aft
ernoon with Greenwood and to continue
this support and patronage every date

that every business house and home in

picion that she had been kidnapped
by those two young roughnecks who
had tried to pick her up.
In the meantime, Bob would find
out all about Pablo, and set the po-
lice on the poor boys trail. She
could imagine great, burly police
men boarding Pablo's train, which
was carrying him to Mexico; could
see them laying violent hands on
him, third-degreeing him, clapping
him in jail.
The girl began to run, Sobbing,
the heavy suitcase hitting against
her leg and bruising it. She had no
idea where she was going, how she
could accomplish what she had to
do, but she ran on, pursued by a
hundred impS out of the hell she
had created for herself.
At last she found herself at the
end of the lane, bumped into a low,
boarded-over well equipped with an
old-faShioned pump. The moon,
just rising. broke from cloud bank
Ia great, golden friendly ball.
BY its light Crystal saw a small.
implanted, weather stained shack.
She stared at it, leaning against the

for fear of arouSing the occupants.
Then, as her eyes grew accustomed
to the moonlight they took in two
significant facts.
No smoke was rising from the
rough-tone chimney, and the
miniature porch was covered inches
deep with q drift of yellow and
brown October leaves. Whoever
owned the shack certainly had not
lived in it for at least a week.
If she could force an entrance,
here was refuge, and place in
which to work out the fantastic,
elaborate scheme which appeared to
her to be the only way to save
Pablo and her own face.
