EXCHANGE RATE

The question of foreign exchange

? In all bualneaa circle#.
Not a great deal of attention la
paid to the diacuaalon carried on In
the United State* Senate \jpon t'ne

many bualneaa men'are anxious that
thla aubject be determined by the
Senate aa early aa porsible.
It la looked upon almoat entirely
from a bualneaa point of view be
cause the feeling prevalla that If
the treaty of peace be ratified then
there will be developed a new factor
which will tend toward the etablll
satlon of foreign exchange.
The foreign exchange altuatlon la
the general topic of diacuaalon In

Mrs. Shaw proved the merit-of this

Women who arc suffering as she

stated that In bis opinion the only
way to balance or stabilise foreigir
exchange Is for the American invest
ing public to buy European securi
ties or demonstrated safety and
value.
Senator Owen is convinced that
Europe Is solvent both financially
and in productive power, and there
fore there should be no reason why
the ?AmericanHn vest Ive public should
not willingly put some part of their
funds In European securities, and
do It now. because at the present
rate of exchange securities may be
bought cheaper an& are sure bv and
by so greatly to appreciate as to
give a profit to the Investor.
The public has little knowledge of
the embarrassment to American
business life which is now occa
sioned by the abnormal rate of for
eign exchange. Some of the busi
ness men are almost In despair,
fearing that it may take years to
stabilise foreign exchange rates, and
iT it does then American Industries
will be Impaired and we face the
danger of losing some part of our
foreign markets.

Mud Hen Crazy He Claims,
But Is Worth Attention
j New York. Nov. 11.?The 'neglected
I and despised mud hen at last has
I found a champion who recognizes the
true worth and sterling character of
this long overlooked bird.
Dr. Harry C. Oberholser, of the
United States National Museum at
Washington, made a plea before the
convention of the American Ornithol
ogists Union today for more consider
ation for the mud hen or coot.
It's a foolish bird, he admitted, and
has some crazy habits, but it should
be recognized in some way, at least
it could be shot, he argued* It's pei
fectiy ^-ood eating and it's easy to

CHAPTER IX?CONTINUED.
The other negroes alao were In the
open by this time yelling and firing as
fust as they could work the bolts or
their rifles, and although they aimed
at nothing in particular, the, effect
of their fusillade was all that could
be wished. Cobo'a men, led by the
terrified Cueto, turned and fled for
cover, believing themselves m dhnger
of annihilation. Nor was the colonel
himself In any condition to rally them,
for Asenslo's blade had cloven one
I full dark cheek to the bone, and the
eho?k and pain had unnerved him; he
was frightened at sight of the blood
that streamed down over the breast
of his white tunic, and so. when ho
saw his men turn tail, he followed suit.

j broad malanga leaves, and over whom
j Asensio kept spurring his terrified
: horse, hacking downward with insane
I fury.
This was the flrgt hand-to-hand en
counter Esteban's men had had. and
their swift victory rendered them
ferocious. Flinging their guns aside,
they went crashing into the brush on
the trail of their enemies.
Rosa found herself in her brother's
arms, sobbing out the story of the
outrage and quivering at every sound
of the chase. He was caressing her,
and telling her to have no further
fears; both of them were fairly hys
terical. Even before Esteban had
hoard all. Lorenzo, the mulatto, reap
peared. leading three cavalry horses
and shouting extravagant praise of
his own bravery. Esteban compli
mented him and the fellow galloped
away again, voicing the most blood
curling threats.
Kvangellna, thank* to her thick
skull, wes not dead. In the course
of time under Rosa's and Esteban's
ministrations she regained her sense*,
and when the other men returned
they found her lying tick and da*ed.
but otherwise quite whole.
Then, there b?*Me the ruins of the
hut. w&i a-st range scene ff rejoicing
Asenslo/ recovered now from hl? burst
of %savagery, was tearful, compas
sionate; his comrades laughed and
chattered and bragged about their
prodigious deeds of valor. Over and
over they recounted their versions or

than the other, until It seemed that
they must have left the forest filled
with corpaes.
Esteban alone waa grave. He hao

knew Chat serious consequences would
follow. The volunteers were revenge
ful; their colonel was not the eort of
roan to forgive a deep humiliation.
Doubtless he would put a price upon
1 the heads of all of them, and certainly
h# would never allow them another
encounter upon anything like even
i terms. Then. too. the narrowness or
I Itosa's escape caused the boy's heart
to dissolve with terror.
