 Announcement that Greyhound Corporation directors approved a four -for.one split which stockhold- CTS are to vote on March 24, sent the issue up nearly { points and had Q steadying influence in other sections.
 Prices came back from lows. Util- ities were firm up to the time the supreme court convened. The court did not render any important deci- sions. The early rise was based on hopes the decision would come to- day and be adverse to the govern ment. The subsequent decline was not great and the group rallied from lows before end of the session.
 Steel shares rallied slightly when the American Iron and Steel insti- ute announced operations for the week up slightly from last week. However, the gain over 1885 was considerably narrowed and this was considered disappointing.
 Cuban American Sugar preferred scared 6 points to new top at 65 on talk the company would soon do something to pay of part of &C., cumulated dividends on the issue. Colorado Fuel preferred was up 3 points and American Woolen pre- ferred up more than 3, the latter at Q new high for the year.
 Numerous special issues made gains, including American Chain, Commercial Solvents. and McKesson & Robbins. Liquor issues were bet- ter on outlook for better earnings.

He promised financial gid from the National Union for Social Justice for the senate munitions in- vcstigations in case t Is refused ad- ditional funds by the senate.

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan, 20.-(UP) "A movement to launch third paity--labor party--in the coming state elections, today was in the dis card.

 The result met hearty approval by President Thomas J. Shea, Middle town. T. was what I expected" he said.

 Anxiety Is Manifest
 The anxiety of the royal family and the kings physicians, shared by his millions of subjects in the world empire on which the sun never sets. was manifest.
 While no official announcement was made. 1t was believed the doc- tors felt that the next 24 hours particularly the dark hours of the coming night, when vitality Is at its lowest ebb---would tell the story.
 If the king survives well into to- morrow, 1t was understood the doc- tors felt they might dare hope for his recovery. The graveness of the bulletin, however, aroused fear that hope for the kings survival was not over-strong.
 As darkness fell over the chill, dripping winter landscape around the kings favorite 7,000-acre estate, which to him is his real home where he is safe from public intrusion, the lights winked an all through the manorial house.
 Anxious Activity
 The atmosphere seemed one of quietly restrained but anxious ac- tiyity.

message. "There, get that off, and
then call a doctor. Or will you do
that, Rosy?'
"I'll do it," said Hilda, and
jumped up and went to the tele-
phone.
Don't say much," advised Per-
lila. Just ask him to come imme-
diately, as the case is urgent"
When Hilda returned all listened
while Buckle told all there was to
tell.
Heart trouble, l suppose" said
Malcolm. "They say every other
person has it."
But Perilla shook her head. She
knew how free from heart trouble
Corey was, and how he slipped away
from her. And now Bob! She could
scarcely believe it. Though intense
ly sorry for him, and for his moth
er, too, there was not the poignant
grief of Corey's death, and Perilla
felt strong to cope with this new
tragedy.
Hilda said Doctor Crane would
be over at once. Perilla had been
silent, and it was evident from what
she next said that she considered it
important.
II want to ask" Perilla said,
that whatever the doctor may say,
we do not call the police in until
after Mr.. Stone gets here. AS you
doubtless know, he is the most Gel
ebrated detective in America.

death, whether it is a natural death
or suicide or a murder. Doctor
Crane will give him his opinion, of
course, but if, except for him, we
can keep the room untouched, it
will be Of immense assistance to
Mr.. Stone. I'm not knocking your
police force, Hay, but since Mr..
Stone is at present employed by me
l feel justified in asking this favor
for him."

Field returned. Our force Is moth

whatever goes along with that.
Our big cases are taken care of in
Columbus"
That's all very well, but I'm
sure we must get back to New
York, and have the matter investi-
gated at that end"
You're turning back, then. ma
dame," asked Buckle.
"Oh, yes, we must" said Perilla,
quickly. I'm sorry, Rosy, but we
shall probably have to stay here
another night, and then 90 back
home"

The octopus is an animal rather
than a plant, but it is not a fish
The term fish is used rather loosely
to mean any marine animal, but it
should be correctly applied only to
vertebrate animals like the cod and

CHAPTER VIII

a BOUT the time that members
L n of Perilla's motor party turned
out the lights for the night at
Scottstown, Ohio, Fleming Stone
and Tony Gaskell were waiting in
New York city in the Grand Cen
trail station. Waiting to welcome
unwelcome visitors, and looking
none too pleased about it, either.
That afternoon Tony had re-
ceived a telegram that Madame
Maiden and the lawyer, Farman,
would arrive at midnight, and that
she would expect to be entertained
by Mrs. Corey Maiden, while the
lawyer would put up at a hotel.
Mrs. Corey Maiden being away
from home. Tony asked the Lovells

belled.
Take into my house that viper
that slandered my daughter :" she
exclaimed; Il should say notI Take
her where you choose, Tony, ship
her back to Richmond or send her
to lunatic asylum, but my doors
shall never open to admit her!"
There had not been time to ac-
quaint the would-be visitor with
this change necessitated in her
planc so tho mon ho5 70 rooo+ ~
with the news when the southern
train came in.
1t was late and they sat in taci-
turn silence until the passengers
appeared in the station waiting
room. Tony went forward to greet
Madame Maiden and found she
had brought with her a maid and a
nurse, besides the pompOus and
self-important lawyer.
Stone was introduced. He in
formed them that Mrs. Corey NAL
den was away on a long motor trip,
from which she would not return
for several weeks. Madame NAL
den was extremely angry, and rant
ed and raved over Perilla's heart
leSsneSS in going on a pleasure
trip so soon after the death of her
husband.
"She had to CO." Stone declared,
''the doctor ordered her to seek
some diversion, lest she be driven
insane by your dreadful statements
and insinuations. 1 am glad she
is away, for she might feel it her
duty to have you at her home"
"Hoity-toity, Mr.. Man." she said,
peering into his face with sharp,
angry eyes. "Who are you who has
so much to say?"
81 am engaged by Mrs. Maiden to
look after her interests. Now, if
you will select a hotel, l will send
you there, and tomorrow morning l
will meet Mr.. Farman and have f.
conference"
"Send me there, indeed! l am
not accustomed to being sent to
places. AS you are looking after
Perilla's affairs, you will take me
there, and see that 1 am comfort
ably taken care of.
Stone decided he wanted to go
with her anyway, and piloted his
charges to the New Knickerbocker.
Farman took rooms there, too, and
Stone invited them to have a little
supper with him.
Under the influence of a little
stimulant and with some delicate
dishes Madame Maiden seemed to
warm toward the detective and soon
was chatting pleasantly with him.
He found out several things he
