 He opened this largest box with heightened interest because of the guns and ammunition already found. Would this be explosives? Dynamite and caps, maybe, such es miners use? But no, this cache could hardly be for use by pros- pectors.

 They looked quickly behind the stack of boxes. Several pairs o1 mems shoes were there. Also neat rolls of blankets and several two- quart canteens. A push at the can teens showed them full, doubtless of water.

 Still speaking in undertones as if they might be overheard, they debated the origin of the cache Then Wesley, near the exit, ex- tinguished their light, catching any ash fall in his hat.

 Thank you" He was suddenly elated. Outspoken Ronica Bailey had paid him another compliment of a personal nature, and each such invariably stirred a yearning within him.
 You need sisters; you'd make such a swell big brother, wes."
 Then as suddenly he felt let down again. Big brotheri It wasn't what he needed. Not what he yearn- ed to be at all. He didn't want to be a faculty adviser or a big-bro- ther-person to Ronica Bailey. "Oh. said he. Well"
 With great care he escorted her back down the slope to their horses and up Rainbow Canyon again.

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-Officials Of
the New York Stock Exchange
studied today without comment a
request from the Federal Securities
and Exchange Commission for re-
moval of the exchanges ban against
so-called multiple" trading by
member firms.
The commission asked the ex-
change to rescind its rule, scheduled
for full enforcement November |.
prohibiting members from acting as
specialists and dealers in its listed
stocks on other exchanges.
Multiple" trading. the exchange
explained. applies only to transac-
tions of members who deal for their
own accounts and not to orders of
customers. who NAV have them exc
cuted on any market they specify.
The stock exchange last July de-
cided to enforce an old rule against
multiple" trading after increasing
complaint that some firms were
making markets" in its listed issues
on outside exchanges, particularly in
Chicago and Boston, and so divert
ing business from New York

vised of what the exchange plans to

exemptions to November Is.
The stock exchange started en-
forcement of the rule September l..
but granted numerous extensions of
