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 To-
cate the man who had issued his or
ders and the man who had fired the
warning shot. The latter, they knew,
would be standing well-concealed be-
hind one of the big-boled pines. They
could not make out where the other
was.
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 moment
or two to find him.
The horses, beyond tossing their
heads and stamping with an occa-
sional snort, were quiet enough.
From within the coach came voices
again. Aunt Jenifer was getting
down; she wanted to see whatever
was to be seen. Her niece started
to follow and Aunt Jenifer COM
manded her to stay where she was.
Ann Lee paid her not the slightest
attention, and in another moment
was in the road with her aunt.
Cole Cody started to climb down.
Again the bull-throated voice roared
out,
"Stay where you are! Up on the
seat there! All of you, or"
Long Peters carbine cracked and
spat fire and hot lead, and cracked
again and the third time: He had
spotted the other man, the one who
had stood behind the pine, who now

whirled; for a moment he couldn't
see anything, not even the little
man with the carpet-bag.
Long Peters shot drew quick an
swering fire from two quarters.
Cody saw the spits of flame but even
yet couldn't see fair target. He
heard the heavy thud of a bullet in
flesh, and Long Peters gave issue
to sound halfway between a
choked squeal and a grunt and
dropped his weapon-it changed
against iron, falling-as he folded
up on the seat. The frightened
horses began again to rear and
plunge.

THE STORY SO FAR: Old Bill Cole,
having been fatally shot by an unknown
assailant, decided 1t would be fun to
make two identical wills, leaving his
money and the King Cole Ranch to Ann
Lee and Cole Cody, children Of his two
old cronies, Dusty Lee and Buck Cody.
This done, he was sitting before blaz-
ing fire in the living room at the Ranch
when Rance Waldron stepped in. After
threatening Old Bill he stepped outside to
tend his horse. When he returned, Old
Bill was dead. Meanwhile, both Ann
Lee accompanied by her Aunt Jenifer)

the Ranch by stage. Neither knows why

A single person, or married per-

is entitled to a personal exemption
of 81 200 for the year if he can
qualify as head of a family.

Examples of head of family status
would be a widoWer or widow who
maintained a home for a dependent

narily means under one roof, but if
a father is absent on business or a
child or other dependent is away at
school, or on visit, the common
home being still maintained, the
head of family exemption would still
apply. Where parent is obliged
to maintain his dependent children
with relatives or in boarding house
while he lives elsewhere, the addi-
tional exemption may still apply.
If, however, without necessity, the
dependent continuously makes his
home elsewhere, his benefactor is

CHICAGO, Jan. 9-Enlarged buy
ing of corn, stimulated partly bv
wintry weather, lifted prices of the
feed cereal to new highs since 1897
with futures within fractions of 81
a bushel and spot grain over 81.
Corn price gains amounted to al
most cent a buShel during the
first hour. Wheat started fraction
ally lower but rallied in sympathy
with corn while oats advanced frac-
tons. Rye was up cent or more.
Short covering operations, with a
mixture of mill buying. accounted

strength, accounting for the ad-
vance of about 10 cents a bushel
since mid-NOvember. Industries re-
quiring corn for manufacture of
alcohol, sugar, starch and many
other products vital in the war ef-
fort, have taken about 1900 900
bushels Of corn shipped out of this
market this week and daily pur-
chases have been large.
At the same time, the flow from
the country has been held up BY
weather conditions. Although prices
are well above Government loan
rates in most areas of the belt, farm
ers require increased quantities for
the large livestock population now
on hand.
Wheat prices were strengthened
by the fact that spot market quota
tons were the highest since 1887
and in some cases since 1923. A
small quantity of top grade soft red
winter wheat brought S158 in the
spot market, 3 cents over the parity
price and 26 cents over the Gov
ernment loan rate. Hard wheat sold
as high as S146.

BIocs of Low-Priced
Utilities Lift Days
Sales to 400, 900
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial W 1te


NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The stock
market today continued to work at
cross purposes in one of the liveliest
short sessions since early November
Large blocks of low priced utilities,
the majority of which were about I'M
changed, accounted mainly for the
better volume which was around
100000 shares for the two hours,
against 259000 last Saturday.
The list displayed mild regularity
at the start. The power and light
group lost some Of its rising power
as the proceedings got under way,
but a number of specialties pushed
upward and modest advances were
posted for selected rails, steels and
scattered industrials. Numerous
leaders, however, were unable to
make any progress and, near the
close, uneven tendencies persisted.
There was little more profit
cashing on the December rally, and
commitments were trimmed here
and there pending the presidential
budget message to Congress due
Monday. The generally cheerful in
ternational picture accentuated SELL
ing timidity. Investment demand
remained as a bulWark, and pur-
chases of assorted stocks was attrib-
uted to the belief these had been
oversold.
The utility division still was
buoyed by hopes for friendlier atti-
tude toward this industry by the
new Congress, as well as frightening
earnings prospects.
