! PORTLAND MARKETS !
PORTLAND, Jan. 7. 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

prime heavy, 15.50-15.65; pigs, 13.-50-14.60;

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;

FOURTEENTH EPISODE
The Trap.
Making their way undetected across
tho roofs, tho Holders secreted them
selves behind trees near Desmond's
home nnd tho police captain. returned
with Helen to the station.
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.
At headquarters; Helen, lifter a
change of clothing, joined Webb and
Roy who had explained, satisfactorily,
to the stockholders 'about the Raiders.

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. Sli- had heard nil, but
was helpless. Desmond, Burke and
Marshall drove uway In one itrichine,

Whon Desmond roached Mountain

up. , Marshall reeonnoltorlng tho en

tacked him from behind and the next
moment was rolling him unconscious

- 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. I

as they ran on. Tho Raiders took to

Helen, reaching i.horo with her bur

to tho ground, hold Roy out of range.
