Wheat Strikes
Stiff Setback

Chicago for Drop

CHICAGO, May J 0-(ff-NerIy
4 cents wheat price tumble at
Winnipeg today following wide
spread rains in spring crop terri
tory went hand In hand with Z
cents setback here.
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.

Accelerating; the downward
trend of wheat prices this side of
the Atlantic was the fact the Liv
erpool market, due 4-l 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.

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

hours. "My word. Crewe." he mut
tered, "what's happened him?"
"Juggernaut incarnate," Sandy
answered in the same low' tone.
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

Crewe and of these others, so that

in my hand." 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'."
