RECOVERY IN
LUMBER SEEN
DEMAND CONTINUING
STRONG
Itctnll Buying Slowing V' Slightly,
Hut Imlnstritil ltii-.lne.is Shows
Improvement Little Change
In Prices Noted.
Tho demand for lumber continues
strong. Tho lumber Industry, broad
Jy speaking, has made a very sub
stantlal recorcry from thu depression
of tho early part of tho yoar. As II
lustratlng this tact tho American
Lumberman In Its weekly review
points out that production for Sep
tomber was practically equal to the
average production for that month
for tho last ten years. Lumber ship
wonts, however, woro approximately
seven per cent greater during this
month th.in tor tho average of the
ten years' whilo orders booked for
September, 1921, were materially In
excess of orders booked for Septem
ber, 1920, and almost 20 per cont
greater than for tho average for the
10-year period.
R.illrosds Buying
"Retail buying," say3 tho Lumber
man, "Is Blowing up to some extent
but tho Industrial business shows
Improvement. Crating stock, for ex
ample, is In very much better de
mand, Indicating that manufacturers
generally are finding a readier mar
ket for their product and consequent'
ly are in need of boxes and crates
, in which to ship. Railroad buying Is
also on tho increase and tho railroads
seem to bo willing to pay much bet
ter prices than earlier in the year.
Some of tho material is for repair
work, but much of it is for new con
struction. For example, tho Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad has
placed an order for 2,500 box cars of
the composite type, having steel un
derframing and Douglas fir decking
and siding. Railroad material is
scarce and therefore the railroads
aro forced to compcto for the mater
ial they neod.
"Prices generally have shown lit
tle change this week. They contln
ue firm, with here and there an ad
vance, tho on the. whole the tone of
the market Indicates that the price
situation is more stable than It has
been for several weeks."

CHAPTER VI.
The Deserted Automobile.
I wni Impatient for him to continue,
but he sat there chuckling to himself,
Rnd toying with n fresh -cigar.
"Well, what dhl you dor'
"I'layed it safe and Mire. I'm too
old n bird to be caught napplne. I
put In moot of that night holding wot
cloths to Humor's hoad, ntul thinking
out some plan of action. Before morn
ing ho thought I wni tho het fellow
he over know, and I had tho guy
whon I wnntod him. For ono of hi
brood, ho was rnthor a friendly ens.
ThN was how I mapped It out. That
letter of credit had to be turned Into
currency before It could do mo any
good, and tho only way that might ho
done was through this guy Alva. I
must got to him somehow In n way
that would put mo next hl scheme,
so I'd know when ho had tho cash.
Onco I got these details attended to
In little old Now York, tho swag was
as good ns my own. I know n dozen
gtiys that would bump Horner off for
a hundred If It come to that so the
price wnsn't high. A million! Oh,
man; and It had dropped right Into
my lap. Rut to do this It was necos.
sary that I should bo Horner. That
was as plain ns the nco on my face;
as Horner, coming with credentials,
and n letter of credit, Alva would be
bound to receive me with open arms
see! After that I figured It would
be easy enough. But how was I to be
come Horner?"
"You couldn't dlwy with him?"
"I should say not: he was a square
guy. It didn't take me live days to
find that out. So there wasn't hut ono
way out of It I had to put Horner
out of commission, and cop his holt.
It wns either that, or lose a million."
I looked nt him. with n sickening
feeling of horror I found hnrd to sup
press, but he went on Indifferently In
the same cool, calm voice.
There's no use going Into detail".
Daly. We landed good friend, and
Horner was In a strange land. You
know New York pretty well, and I lost
him the tlrst afternoon down on the
East side. I never did know just what
became of the fellow, but the next
morning I was alone In a back room
In Greenwich, nnd had his belt with
me." He chuckled grimly. 'There
wasn't much In It, except the letter
of credit and n notntlon as to where
and when Krnntz could be seen pri
vately. It was the next night Harris
was to call on the banker up In I.e
Compte street."
"Le Compte? What number?"
"24" I.e Compte. Do you know any
body there?"
"No; only I.e Compte Is an old
stamping ground of mine. Go on ; you
went there, of course."
"Sure. Krnntz didn't know me from
Adam, not even ray name. I was Just
10S' to him, but he was mighty nerv
ous. Just the same, and anxious to get
away. I could see that. I don't think
It was his house either; Just an ordinary-looking
shack, brick, three stories
and a basement.
'That banker was business nil right,
and he put me through the whole
bundle of tricks before he'd even let
me sit down. I had to lie some, but
mostly I was posted well enough so
as to give him what he was looking
for. Anyhow, I passed, and after that
he wns rather decent. Took me Into
room nnd gave me a drink, besides
asking me .about nffalrs In Kurope.
n I, I didn't know only what I'd
seen In the papers but I gave him an
earful, and on the strength of his
name I cussed England for all 1
was worth which at that time wns
about a million bucks. Then I handed
over the letter of credit, and he
Jammed It Into his pocket like It was
a scrap of paper. I don't remember
that he even looked at It. After that
he was for getting rid of me, the soon
er the better. But I needed to know
where Alva was, so I hung on, telling
the old guy I had a private message
that I had to deliver personally-
straight from them financiers In Lon
don. So, after skirmishing a while,
ho Jotted down an address on a bit
of paper, nnd the next thing I knew
I wps. out In' the street, with that
gripped In my mitt."
'And then, of courfic, you hunted
up Alva?"
"The next morning, before any bank
opened. I thought over It all night
and got up a peach of u story. I
needed It, too, for this Alva wns a
smooth guy. It took some nervo to gut
him, hut I know, through Horner's
memorandum, some things about him
he never supposed was known up In
this country; so when I sprung them,
natural-like, he quit being offish, and
gave me the glad hand."
"Who Is he? A crank?"
"Not by a d d sight. He's a cap
tain In tho Chilean nrmy, military at
tache to the embassy at Washington,

Intrusted Willi certain wort, TiuHii7
really working to overthrow the pres
ent Chilean government gottln' up a
revolution down there. I lied until
I wns black In the fare, hut I must
have kept within bounds, for he got
to liking me real well. Ho was n
high-roller, and I put him onto some
things In New York he had never
been steered against before. That
made a hit with him. There wum't
nothing said about cashing up all day
long, and early the next morning we
breezed Into a downtown hotel, and
went to boil."
"What hotel?"
"Search me. We'd boon tanking up
on champagne and were drunker In
the morning than when wc turned In.
That's the honest truth. All either of
us wanted for breakfast was a cup of
coffee. We got that at a little dump
on some side street, so as to brace up
n little." He pniiM-d to laugh at the
recollection, helping himself to u third
clgnr.
"And you actually retain no knowl
edge of where you spent the night?"
"Not the falnlest glimmer. Can you
beat It? Alvu lost part of n letter
somewhere, and a curious sort of box
he had picked up In Chinatown. He
put them both In his pocket, so he
says, but that was the last he ever
saw of cither. Queer looking box that
was; nothing I cared nliout, hut It
cost the guy a hundred bucks, and ho
was daffy over It. Anyhow, that night
put me solid with Alva."
"But the money? He's never drawn
It?"
"Not a dinky red. He claims the
time hasn't come yet, and that It's
safer with Krautz. But I've stuck to
lilm like a brother and he's took me In
with his gnng, so now I know every
more that's going on. I'm on the In
side, till right, and now It's beginning
to get hot."
'They are ready to net?"
"Sure; that's what the meeting was
about tonight."
"What iiru they after ships?"
"Well, they've got to have some, but
mostly nnns; then there Is n guy down
there who's got to he croaked. I don't
enre what It Is; when the time comes
they won't Mud a handful of change
to act with. I'm some patriot, I am,
and I'll put a bigger crimp n their
sails than the whole United States
government secret service,"
"But Bee here, Harris," soberly,
"how do you know you nre going to
get this? Of course, I see the game
the way you've mapped It out, but
suppose Krnntz pays In check, or draft.
That spikes your gun."
"II 1, yes; but ho won't. I've sized
up this man Krantx. He's In tho game
,for money. He don't cure who wins
tho d n revolution, for ho gets his
share out of the pot right nway, He's
playing the game secretly on his own
account. Get that? He expects It
may bo a year, or perhaps two, before
he can cash In on the deal, but when
It does come his share of profit will
he likely u hundred thousand. That
beats bank Interest, nnd the old bird
la willing to lakii tho chance."
"Quite likely that's true; ho bunk
would finance such ir project."
"Of courso not tho directors would
throw n lit. Well, now, that kind of
guy, in on a raw deal like this, It
going to pluy safe, Isn't he? He Isn't
going to leave any evidence lying
around to hung himself with uny
drufts, or checks to pass through Uie
clearing liouse? Not on your life; he
Is too wily a fox for that. Kruntz
knew this was coming, and he's been
cashing In for six months or mora
to be ready for It. And now he's got
lA P
the euiTonoy stored twvay, TuilioTly
knows whore but himself, When Alva
comes for II, It will he handed out se
cretly, and thai old bird will crumple
up tho receipt In his pocket nnd wait
till ho ran cash In through those guys
In London, So now It's up to us to
locate tho dough; we've got to sepa
rate It from either Krauts, or Alvu
I'm for Alvu."
"Why?"
"ltooiiuso tho Job looks easier. He's
human and no money grubber. He's
Just as liable as not to carry tho
whole wad around with him; d n It,
I think that's Just what he will do,
for ho won't dure deposit such a sum
anywhere-. That's why I have laid
buck so long, without attempting to
strike I'm hanking on I ho nrmy rap
lain to orter me n soft thing. What
do you say?"
t had the whole story now In a nut
shell mid It was olio to think over.
That Harris had plujed his curds well
was sulllelently evident. Now I must
bo fully ns cautious in playing mttic.
I felt the follow bad glon mo his full
coiillilonce; actually believing mo to1
bo Daly, and on the sumo trail with
him; desiring to use me In what was
probably the biggest Job of his life,
ho had been led Into the Indiscretion
of coiilldlug to me the full truth of
Ids scheme. If 1 kept my head and
nerve, I bad It III my swer to block
everything and thus bring tho whole
gang to swift Justice, I rcalltod the
danger of such an attempt, the Imme
diate M-rll of endeavoring to accom
plish this alone, yet at the moment
perceived no other way. I must re
main Daly and appear eager to obtain
my share of the spoils,
"A slick piece of work, Harris," I
admitted admiringly, "and so far ns 1
can Judge you have figured out the
chances about right. They look good.
I'm with you, old man shake 1"
Our hands clasiod. "That Is what
I thought you would say, Harry."
nuiro familiarly. "Come on now and
drink with me."
I put the stuff down, rnthor fooling
the need of It, nnd desiring to estab
lish our Intimacy more closely.
'Then that's settled, Goorg, yes,
I'll hae another clgnr. By the way,"
as I lit up. "there was another thing
I wiinted to ask you alsilit. You snld
there was a woman here from Wash
ington. What's the Idea?"
"I n If I know, hut I guess It's nil
right. Still I don't quite cotton to the
dame. This Is how 1 get It frtm Alva.
Those Junta fellowsthe big ones, you
know think this New York bunch Is
pretty slow; they want some action
for their money. So Senor Monde,
who seems to be engineering the deal,
decides to send somebody over here to
stir up tho crlmlunls. But he's
watched every minute; secret service
men nre as thick us files, and If one of
his underlings was to leave for New
York, he'd never get.ton feet without
being spotted. Menilez Is wise to this,
so hu gathers In privately a skirt he
believes Is all right, and sends her.
It's not n decent Job for a woman, ami
that's what makes It safe, lie made
a good guess, (ihj; that female Is ns
smart as n steel trap. Shu guvo me
the cold shivers."
"You don't think she suspects you?"
"No, I don't ; there ain't no reason
why she should; but she gave me the
once oxer, all right, and I am perfect
ly willing to know she Is on her wny
back to Washington. I never did play
In any luck with a woman In tho game
iicrlinps that's what makes me
afraid of 'em."
"What's her name?"
"Gessler. so Alva said Marie fiess
ler; South American, I suppose; any
how, she talked that language like n
native. I steered clear of ber most of
the time. Somehow she got my goat.
However, that's nothing to worry
over." He glanced at his watch. "The
dame's safely off by this lime. Whnt
l do you say let's go home."
I r tltllfll.1 till' M'lllltlLf II'NN.
As we passed out together through
thu nnrrow passage, extinguishing the
lights behind us, the one overpowering
desire In my mind wns to be once
more alone, so as to think over, and
piece together as best I might this
fabric of vlllulny with which I was
confronted. Tho situation was fairly
clear, yet there were strange lights
and shadows In It I found hard to
reconcile. Moreover, what should 1
do? How could I servo best by Im
mediately telling my story to thu of.
Ilcers of the law, and thus washing my
hands clean7 or by continuing to en
act the rolu of Harry Daly, and In this
wny entrapping theso fellows red
handed? I hnd had fully enough of
Harris for the present. His boastful
ness and pride of crime disgusted me.
I had no desire to bo nssoclalisl with
the fellow, or pretend, even for n
worthy purpose, to bo his companion.
Yet, all this hnd happened so sudden
ly and unoxprSModly I could not de
termine the best course to pursue. I
remained dazed nnd confused, the
only clear decision being an eagerness
to bring liltn, und these others also, to
Justice.
We were the Inst to leavo the plnce,
and emerged from tho building Into
tho deserted yard, leaving all In si
lence and darkness behind us. The
door closed tightly, secured by n night
latch, und wo stood motionless In the
drizzle. By that time I was realy
with n suggestion, but by good fortune,
ho took the Initiative.
"We better slip out of hero alone, 1'
reckon," ho whispered. "I'll go tip
this way, und then you tuku a siieuk
through the luiimer yard. Likely we'll
catch thu sumo car going down. If we
don't, look mo up ut Costlgau's place
you know where thut Is?"
"Sixth avenue, Isn't It?"
"Sure, Ask for Parker, mid It will
