Dearth of export business in -Canadian wheat contributed to the downturn of values. On the other band, a sustaining factor In the Chicago market was the circum stance that domestic winter wheat crops received but little moisture relief as compared with spring wheat areas. . Cooler weather and showers to night however, were predicted for various sections of the United States winter wheat belt,- where dryness and heat hare, been a disturbing influence. a.na - ITn 1 rm At me ciose me unicago wneai market was cents under yesterday's finish, May $1.32, July Sl.21-.

May 51-5. and rye 1 7fc lower, iuay -. y. in pro- a a a -a A w v Tisions, the outcome was unchang ed to 27 cents decline. - Accelerating; the downward trend of wheat prices this side of the Atlantic was the fact the Liv erpool market, due 4-l cents higher, closed today cents lower. Price rallies here failed to hold. A reason for this was that considerable amounts of wheat purchases of late were marketed in Chicago today to realize-profits. In decided contrast with spring wheat advices from both sides of the Canadian boundary, today's reports, relative to winter wheat crop prospects in the southwest. notably Kansas, continued to tell oi aeienorauon Decause oi mois ture deficiency and of high torn peratures. Nevertheless, numerous spread traders sold here against Durchases at Winnipeg. These transactions were in the face of the fact Canadian export wheat buying today was estimated at only 250,000 bushels. RICH CARGOES CHAPTER XXVH Sandy stepped to the edge of the : terrace and blew his boat siren, his ; first thought being naturally to get Isobel to a place of safety, aboard his yacht. There came instantly from out on the dark water the -' flash of a blinker, acknowledging ' his signal. The next moment they -heard Vinckers' voice call out with a sort of harsh contempt: "What sort of show's being put on now?" ; "Go down to the pier," Sandy , aaid to Isobel. "Call to the quarteT- master to land all hands, with what i ever firearms they can muster. Ill I see what's up . . . He stepped inside the house and j started through to the other side. Isobel, disregarding his instruc- tions followed. Vinckers, followed by the three ethers, came after ! them. "Yon women go down to the ! front," , Vinckers said, calmly enough. "Crewe and I will hold them off until his crowd gets here." Evidently his idea, and Sandy's of what was threatened was the same. But the women declined to re- treat. The entire party of six went , to the doorway and out onto the i flagging in front of it. The next moment they discovered their an ticipations to be groundless, and i that there was no hostility threat r ened. A dozen and odd of the torch bearers had come round the bend i when there appeared the ponderous and majestic lulk of Mouse, am bling in stately fashion, with Mike 1 in his capacity of mahout. The hunt- ing howdah, open with a guard rail was set on Mouse's back and therein disposed, immaculately dressed in white and with his big pith helmet, sat Colonel Carlton. The angora goat Murphy trotted sedately at the elephant's heels. At either side and in the rear were more torchbearers. Vinckers gave a short explosive laugh. "My hat. It's the Rajah re : turning in state, with his full corps ef retainers." - Sandy did not Join in Vinckers mirth. He was in the grip of ' fearful doubt that came near to be ing a conviction. Of all the mad per formances to happen since his ar rival on the island this aeemed the maddest, most grotesque. Colonel Carlton's mind must certainly be badly off its balance. he now felt obliged to admit. The exodus of servants, it appeared, bad cot been through superstitious fear or at the instigation of a papaloi, but the result of orders issued by the mas ter, who now had reassembled them to escort his return in this crazy spectacular fashion. At any rate, whatever the idea, this investment of the premises was conducted in orderly fashion. The vanguard marched up quietly, passed the big doorway and at an order from the Colonel halted. Mouse likewise was brought to a stop opposite the entrance. The Colonel, from nia bunting nowaan, beamed down benevolently upon the bewildered group. No. trace of em barrassment marred the serenity of bis dominant but kindly face. There was more than that; some thing of which the group clustered at the foot of the long low steps felt but failed to grasp as they looked up at him wonderingly. Or perhaps, grasping it in part respec tively, they were unable, to accept. The Colonel's countenance held a - profundity of thought, the expres sion of a very great philospher as he contemplates the subject of his philosophy and ponders on how best to appiy bis knowledge of it, or a physician, a healer who desires to bring the fullest capacity of his knowledge to a cure. One fact at least reached through to their minds; that the Colonel surveying them magnificently as a monarch on a huge throne of living flesh was no longer bizarre. Majesty clothed him, and it was not the mere ponderous majesty of the brute beast that carried him. It waa the preponderant impress of su perior mind, compared to which their own more childish intelli gences seemed trivial. . Vinckers lodged Sandy, as if they had been pals instead of the deadly enemies of the past few Quotations PORTLAND. Or.. Kit iOt AVI .

Well, you'd say he was a yogi or adept or somethine. instead of a colossal old fraud. All the same, he gets my goat." t : Vinckers' voice was scarcely au dible, even to Sandy close beside him. But it seemed as if the Colonel had heard, for he looked their way and said quietly in his deep resonant voice: "Never rush at a conclu sion, my dear Guy. Better to await it with an open mind." ' He raised himseix a little and said more loudly to the silent negroes. That is au. good people, rxa out your torches and go to your quar ters. You men here beside me, stick your torches in the sand. In the same subdued silence the negroes obeyed so that the effect was suddenly changed from the ma jestic figure on the elephant the center of a concourse in a blaze of lurid light to the same figure il lumined brightly by six torches stuck in the sand and empty black ness all about.; It was as if the wide field of vision embracing the whole spectacle had been focussed sud denly on the central figure alone, to make it larger and more distinct. The light from six torches was not very bright, but their position was effective, placed as they were like joss-sticks round an idoL UlRAtli.. ,Atin.l..t1iA.t,. a Vinckers murmured. But Isobel i saw it differently. "JJonT try to tell me he was ever knave or fool," she muttered. "This is no foli de granduer. It's the real thing. Don t you see 7 "I do," Sandy answered. "Wait. Don't interrupt." The Colonel continued to regard them in the same thoughtful con templation. Then Isobel said sooth ingly : "Since you've come back to stay with us. Uncle, why not get down? i "We've no end enjoyed your torch light procession. Daddy dear . once we saw they weren't coming to cut our throats and burn the palace." Hester's tone was mock ing, sounded blasphemous to Sandy who was still under the peculiar spell from which the two women had slipped out. . I have come back to put my house in order, said the Colonel quietly. "If I chose to go into re tirement for thiry-six hours, that is entirely my own affairs. Every body would profit by such periods of undisturbed reflection. The na tives misunderstood my withdrawal. They have been devoted to me from the start, and thought I was being persecuted, rnese primitives are sensitive to violent emotions, even when suppressed. They came to me tonight with their torches begging that I return, and not lurk ta a cavern, like a fugitive. So I came. This demonstration was not of my rlanning. Now that I have come, shall stay... Bat one thing I insist upon. There shall be no more de-, ceit. It is true that I started it. Or rather, I carried on with a decep tion imposed upon me two years ago under penalty of losing what I most valued and still value. The happiness and companionship of IsobeL" i "Your ewa honor and dignity is too great a price to pay for my hap piness. Uncle. No lasting good ever came of lies, even when they dont find one out." I : i "That is true, my dear. Common knowledge. I wished merely to wait until your conditions of life might be such that my denouement would not so greatly matter. I hoped, still hone, that thia time has come. Whether that is so or not, yon have now rot to hear the truth." ' - "I'd rather you told me to pri vate. Uncle. i 'I-. "It is better that I should tell you here and now in the presence of Mr. Crewe and of these others, so that there be no question of anything withheld in my-statement. If there is anything to be challenged or de nied, now is the time. There are certain facts unknown to Vinckers and his associates, and of which I have the documentary proofs here a.

He reached down and drew from a pannier in the hunting howdah a long scroll box of tin enameled in pale green. - Isobel said passionately: ' "I don't care what they know or think they know. I'm perfectly well aware that they are not what they pretend to be, but a band of cheap frauds come here to blackmail you. They are not entitled to any place in this interview at alL" "AH the same they are, my dear. because in some respects I am a good deal of a fraud myself. But never waa a cheap one. Until I things differently about ten years ago, l was, perhaps, tne greatest disturber of the peace in all this wide world of ours. There is no name for the sort of Devil's Agent that in time I became. My field of commerce was the battle field of .little wards; revolutions, raids, tribal uprisings and rebel lions fought out on land and sea. I established agencies the world over, the running of arms and munitions and sometimes where the chance of success seemed assured I fo mented hostilities and . financed them. As an active belligerent in the field, or at sea, I have held com mands -as a General officer, a Colonel, Captain and even Admiral. For many years I was at the core of the 'Trouble in the Balkans', and I was the secret malady of The Sick Man of Europe,' the Grand Turk. The syndicate of which I was the Chief Executive and head, planted depots of smuggled arms the world over, in the Iast Indies and in if ut, m lumwip wuw America, Ireland, Africa, North and South, Indo-Chma, Mongolia to the Great Chinese Wall, Russia, the Balkans and Asia Minor. I planted my Dragons Teeth all over the globe, and many times took an ac tive part in the reaping of their harvest." ' - . i - The Colonel paused and looked at Vinckers with a profound melan choly. "This man's father was my First Field Aide. He exceeded his authority, turned several of my coupt-de-guerre into forthright banditries and piracies. I forgave him, then finally when he persisted in disregarding orders, broke him. He turned on me, as I had expected, and was crushed. But I felt myself in .a sense responsible for having given him too free a hand." "You sent him into m trap, ColoneL" Vinckers said. The Colonel eyed him somberly. "A trap of his own setting and baiting. I merely shifted the local ity. I should do the same again to day. When your war dogs are no longer obedient 'to the horn, they should be killed.: Also, before they stray to breed snapping mongrels to bite the hand that feeds them. I have something to say presently to you." Vinckers did not answer. The Colonel recovered his calm, for the moment ruffled. lie glanced about at the others, then continued In the same dispassionate narrative voice: "The traces of my opera tions were obliterated as I went along. I took care that there were never any incriminating documents. Filibustering on such a scale as mine was penal only when one was caught. Extradition for it did not exist. Today, if I were to make such a deposition as this, I should not be believed. Nobody would take me seriously. The finding in my case would be precisely the same as your own at this moment, that I must be the victim of senile dementia, paresis, delusions of grandeur, and that I ought to be in an asylum. My story would be dismissed with a smile and a shrug as that of the brain softened old imbecile that most certainly I am not. If I'm an Idiot at all then I was born and have always been precisely the same sort of one you find me now. Others have sometimes thought the same thing, to their cost. In fact, at one time of my adventurous ca reer I was known as The Mad Rajah of the Banda Sea'."
