WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDIr TIONARY AHMY, FRANCE, Dec. C (By Mall.) Half tho Sammies in thin town woke up with the "glm inies" today. "Cot a cigarette?" was tho break fast greeting and it has been the watch-word of smoke-hungry mort als all day long. Tobacco Just ain't In this town, except for tho small surplus stocks that foreslghted soldiers have stowed away In tholr kit-bags. Even the village tobacco-depot Is sold outwhlch means that Sammy is in awful straits for a smoke. No one buys Fronch cigarettes If he can possibly rustle a piece of rattan horsewhip or baby-carriage.

The week's opening market was confronted by a somewnac heavier offering than we have bad for some weeks past, and all conditions seem to be about nor mal. There were about 3000 hogs and half as many cattle In tho yards for Monday morning's market. It Boemed In the opening that thero was n chance for a break In the hog mar ket and the cattle market seemed to bo about 25 cents low on the good ond, with 20 to 36 cents low on the medium and thin stuff. There were heavy demands, however, and a large number of buyers In the yards, so that tho day's trading developed a stronger market In both the hog and cattle sections than was indicated In the early hours of trading. Tho aft ernoon's trading seemed to be just about steady In tho cattle section, with everything moving promptly, and the last half of the trading In tho hog market was done on a basis of added strength. One load of hogs crossed tho scales at 15.75, several loads at 15. GO and 10.05, and the bulk of offerings brought 15.60, while only a fow straggling, poorly finished offerings went down ns low as 15.40 and 15.50, Wo are leav ing the quotations as given in the previous scales, but the mnrkot at this writing seems to be topping these quotations. In the cattle department, the bulk of the good steers went at 10c. They were not equnl, however, In quality to the steers which brought 10.2 5 a week ago, and thro were no top steers offered In today's market. We figure the cattle market steady to 15c lower at tho close of toduy's trading. The best cowb In tho lot, while probably not equal, to those that brought the best prices last week, sold for 7.60, but tho bulk of choice cows sold at ,7.60. Feeder stuff was somewhat eased off In price, with a limited demand, and canners and the poorer quality of k!lllngtuff suffered on an aver age for the days trading about 20 to 25 cents. The following quotations wore based on the morning's trtfdlng nd are not up to what the after noon's market would warrant: CATTLE Mod. to choice steers, 9.75-10.25; good to medium steers, 8.60-9.50; common to good stoers, 7.00-3.40; choice cowb and heifers, 7.00-7.60; common to good cows and heifers, 5.75-7.00; cannors, 3.00 6.25; bulls, 4.50-6.75; calves, 7.00 10.00; stockors and feeders, 6.00 8.00. , HOGS Prime light, 15.45-15.60; prime heavy, 15.50-15.65; pigs, 13.-50-14.60; bulk, 15.60. There were no sheep offered to tost that section of tho market and we are quoting at steady, at the to lowing prices: Western lambs, 13.00 13.50;. Valley lambs, 12.50-13.00; yearlings, 12.00-12.50; wethers, 11.-75-12.25; owes, 8. 00-10. 00.

A group of Eastern security hold ers, disgusted with tho Mountain Springs situation, arrived thnt day on n special. Itoy nnd Webb met them nnd Desmond came over to headquar ters to learn what ho could. Ills re ception was a chilly one. lorlmer, who headed tho Eastern visitors, open ly upbraided him : "You are responsi ble for all tho trouble tho Kay has been having." Nor would tho nngry Easterner listen to any defense, anil ho finally advised Itoy to order Des mond oft tho right of way. Turning then . to the ynrdmnster, Lorlmor told him the special car would lenvo on No. 20. Desmond overheard this, and ho was already In an ugly hu mor. Oolng home, ho heard tho Raid ers calling from tho trees and leav ing his machine, he Joined them: "I want to hnndta No. 20 this afternoon nt IMco's," ho snld to Marshall. 'Tick up two men at Bullock's and go to Bul lock's shack near Pico." Desmond then dispatched his driver for a second machine and directed his gang to wait In tho shrubbery.

GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT, nelen put tho notice In her pocket nnd went to lunch: ' At Desmond's, Marshall leaving In tho second machine wl(hn driver, started for Bullock's; Desmond, liurko and Masters drove off In tho other ma chine. Shortly afterward Helen, de tained In n street car at a crossing, saw tho Desmond Machine waiting besldo her for tho crossing gates to lift, and at once recognized the occupants. Slip ping quickly oft tho street car, sho hid herself, unobserved, on tho tiro rack on tho back of Desmond's ma chine. : Marshal! having found Bullock, tho two left his shack nnd started for tho Haiders' headquarters. At a fork In tho rond, however, Marshall caught sight 'of Desmond's cur, not far ahead, with .Helen riding securely at the back on the tire rnck. He spurted for ward. Helen saw him coming, and to escape, dropped o(T; but she was too lute. Marshall's driver ran ulongside nnd Mnrshnll, standing on the running board, caught her up ns he swept past, and drugged lier Into his machine. At tracting Desmond's attention, he ex plained. "Good," cried Desmond, "Bring her along." Reaching the quarters. Masters was for throttling Helen. "Sho got mo once," ho muttered, "but Rho won't do It again." "Just whnt do you moan, Masters?" demanded Dcsmrtml. Musters only grinned and Intimated with his hands what he meant to do to his prisoner. "Nothing doing." declared Desmond curtly. "I snld no once, and that goes." Even then Masters inndo a spring for her. Desmond Jumped between Helen und his angry gangster, threw Helen Into a sort of a closet, slummed tho door and locked It, pocketing tho key. Masters started for him, and Desmond snatching a club, stood lit buy- But once more ho proved him self muster: "She slays In there," said he, pointing, "until the Job on Number Twenty Is done." The gang, to con solo themselves, turned to the con tents of Helen's pockets, which they had rifled. They found Bulletin 321. Ilurke nindo a face. "That spills tho beans," ho observed. For n moment Desmond feared so, too. But he was not to be bulked. "Marshall," ho asked, "can you lire an engine J" "I can," was the answer. "Get a pair of overalls," directed Desmond, and when Marshall returned with a rig, Desmond gave orders to Burke: "You look after Number Twen ty's engineer. Miirshull will play lire man." With the words he took up a email bottle containing a drug and h.ndlng It to Burke, told him what ho v ant ed. To Bullock he only said: "Ilnvo the rest of the gang at l'lro trestle to get Marshall when Number Twenty passes." They left the room, with Helen sllll R prisoner.

'Ho at tacked him from behind and the next moment was rolling him unconscious over an enibunkment, lloturnlng to tho engine, ho went to work In tho lire man's plnco. - Desmond and Burko, rounding a cor ner, wero wutchlng tho engineer. "Thut's old Juko," muttered DoBiuond. "Ho can't run a mlla without coffoo and pie." It was, In truth, not long boforo Jake did head for tho lunch . room. Burke; following him, fell to tulklng with him nnd when Jnko ordered cof fee, Burko did llkowlso. Then, empty ing part of tho small bottle Into his own colTco, he asked Jnko to pass tho sugar. ' As the engineer turned to reach it, Burko switched cups and Jake, drinking the drugged bovernge, began before long to show Its ef fects. . Meantime Roy left tho stockholders at tholr cur and started along tho train, r,"Don'. forget Bulletin 821," ho enuiioneu ma coimucior. xnvy mti.v,i tapped his pocket. "I'vo got It right here." Wulklug on, tho two reached tho drugged engineer, now half stag gering. Hoy wns suspicious. "But Jnko never took a drink In his life," declared tho conductor. Something, however, was ovldeutly wrong and to get out on time, Roy resolved to take Jake's place himself. "Wlro for re lief to mc'i't tho train nt Fielding," wns all ho snld as ho climbed Into the en gine. Tho Raiders had meant to got tho drugged engineer started In tho cab, so Marshall could run the train. See ing Roy, Marshall was at a loss for n moment. Then ho'plcked up tho fire man's, goggles, put them on, nnd de termined to bluff the situation through. At the Ruldcrs' headquarters a llglit was flashed on tho table. One of tho men noticed It It was their telegraph system, tupped In on tho Kay's wires. Olio of them rend aloud and Ilelun hoard: "Number Twenty Is on time. We'd belter got down to the trestle." Whon they left, Helen tried to brenk out. Sho failed. But n sweater hung on the wall. From this sho unraveled n cord ond climbing tip tho door, throw Ihc cord through the transom, trying to rench the telegraph key. She finally took a weight, tied Oils to tho string, and succeeded III catching the key. By pulling carefully, sho could spell out words. The dispatcher heard her calling, and took her message. Crooked flrcman on No. 20. Tho Raiders will ond Noa. 19 and 20 together at Pico trestle. Stop 19. The dispatcher, stunned, called Pico; It was too Into to reach No. 10. Helen again tried to break out. In tho pocket of n coat on tho wull sho found matches, started n fire, and wrapping the coat over her head, crouched on tho farther side of the closet till the door should weaken enough for her to break through. Watching her chance, she ran out through the Humes, and up the truck she saw tho two trains ap proaching. On n passing track stood a box car. Running to this, sho re leased the brake and It started down hill parallel to No. 20, and climbing to the top, waited for tho train to over take her. Nenrlng the trestle, Marshall stripped off his goggles, und Hoy recognized him. Helen came opposlto tho cub Just ns tho two men grappled. Marshal! struck Roy down us Helen, with a leap, landed In the cab. But Marshall picked Roy up, threw him bodily through the gangway and as the engine was crossing Iho creek, Itoy plunged headlong Into the water. The rulllun turned bnck. Helen, catch ing up an Iron bar, struck him heav ily nrross the head. As he dropiiod, she Bhut ofT the throttle ond throw on Hie emergency air. Then, swinging to the side of the cnb, she leaped over tho trestle Into the creek. Roy almost dead, felt nn em Ircllng arm and Helen started to swim with Mm for shore.

They started after them, firing Company as they ran on. Tho Raiders took to tholr heels, returning tho gunfire over their shoulders while they rotrentod.
