to a chuckle. And then he heard
Andy Jenkins saying quietly,
"Thankee, Miss Edwards. But
looks like it's no use"
There was the sound of his light
tread, then they saw him passing
on beyond the horses, climbing over
the log, stepping along briskly with
something in his hand; carpet-bag,
no doubt.
Neither Cody nor Long Peters
watched his progress; both with
straining eyes were probing into the
dark among the pines, trying to 10

The little mans figure began to
blur in the darkness as he kept along
in the road and when they glanced
swiftly after him it took a moment
or two to find him.

''Tell him, Peters, all I've got on
me is about fourteen dollars, silver,
and a gold watch and chain and
some smoke tobacco. That what he
wants? He's sure welcome"
Long Peters relayed the answer.
Before he had spoken the last word
there was red flash from point
high up the slope and the reverberat-
ing crack of rifle, and a bullet
whizzed a yard or so above his
head.
"That's just to show l mean busi-

Rising War Outlay
Nearly Equal 10
Civilian Spending
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Increasing nearly billion dollars
in the last month current war
spending now is almost equal to the
total being spent for civilian goods
and services.
In its October bulletin the Fed
eral Reserve Board said today the
Nations September war bill hit
new high of $500 100000 and was
nearly seven-eighths as much as
civilian consumer spending for the
same period.
At the same time, civilian incomes
increased to rate of $4,000 900 900
year. about 10000, ,O00, 900 higher
than during September, 1941, and
about 1000 900 900 above the rate
during the same month three years
ago.
Consumer spending in September
showed a slight decrease in volume.
Commenting on the decline, the
board said the civilian standard of
living was due for gradual decline
as the Nations concentration on
war activities cuts into the supply
of goods and services available for
consumers. The decline, however,
will be much less than in most
countries, it added.
The board said that the cost Of
living already was showing signs of
being anchored, with the exception
Of food prices which have con-
tinued to rise"
In the six months since March,
the cost of living has risen only
about per cent, as compared with
per cent in the preceding six
months, the board said, attributing
the steadying trend to the price
stabilization program inaugurated
last spring. 1t said the cost of liv-
ing in September was about lib per
cent of the 1935-1939 average.
