WAGES HIGHEST IN l S ITED
STATES.
According to a survey recently made
by the International Labor Office (of
the League of Nations, and carried
recently as a news item in Railroad
Data, 'when measured in terms of
what his traces will buy, the Ameri
can workman is tiie highest paid work
er in the world.”
This survey, it is explained, is has-I
ed on statistics collected from 1!) lead
ing cities in many different countries
and compares the purchasing power
of wages as of July 1, 1925. The pur
chasing power of the wages in Lon
don, is used as a base of 100. it is
. shown by the statistics that Philadel
phia stands at 183. In other words,
the workman in this American city
can buy 85 per cent, more for his
wages titan the workman in London. |
; * The material used in establishing
the wage figures includes t' e average
wages for 14 skilled trades, ami for
several unskilled trades. The pur
chasing itower was ascertained from
~ figures on rent and the cost of 17
identical items of food obtained from
each of the cities. The result of the
survey is given in the following table.

COLE SLIT MAY HAVE

Raleigh, Nov. 2, —Unless there is
a special term of civil court, culled

it will have to calm a year, accord

Mr. Royster says there are 400 or
more civil eases on the local calendar
and they will have to go off before
the Cole ease can tome on. The fact .
that $150,000 is at stake will not
necessarily hurry the issue, Mr. Cole
is not going to rush things and My

It is nut likely thut a special term
will be called. Governor McLean

CHAPTER XXIII. (Continued)
Rock examined the bag, thea he
lifted an inquiring gaze to Pierce
Phillips. There was a general cran
ing of necks, a shifting of feet, a
rustle of whispers.
*Ah! mockingly exclaimed Cour
teau. “I was dreaming, eh? To be
sure!" He laughed disagreeably.
“Is this ‘house’ money?" inquired
the redcoat.
Miller shook his head in some be
wilderment. “We don’t keep two
kitties. I’ll weigh it and see if it
adds up with the Count’s—”
‘Oh, it will add up!’’ Phillips de
clared, his face even whiter than be
fore., “It’s a plant, So of course it
will add up.”
Defiantly he met the glances that
werf fixed upon him. . As his eyes
roved over the faces turned upon him
he became conscious for the first
time of ’Poleon’s and Rouletta’s
presence, also that Laure had some
how appeared upon the scene. The
latter was watching him with a pe
culiar expression of hostility frozen
upon her features; her dafk eyes
were glowing, she was sneering faint
ly. Os all the bystanders, perhaps
the two McCaskeys seemed the least
inclined to take part in the <affair.
Both brothers, in fact, appeared de
sirous of effacing themselves as ef
fectively as possible.
But Courteau’s indignation grew,
and in a burst of excitement he dis
claimed the guilt implied in Pierce's
words. “So 1 You plead innocence 1

ignored the speaker; his gaze flew
to Joe McCaskey’s face and to him
he directed his next words: “The
whole thing is plain enough to me.-
You tried something like this once
before, Joe, and failed. I suppose
your back is well enough now for
the rest of those forty lashes. Well,
you’ll gqf ’em—’ ■ “ ‘
The Count came promptly to the
rescue of his friend. “Ho! Again
you- lay _ your guilt upon others.
Those mrrters at Sheep Camp let Vbti
off easy. Well, a pretty woman can
do -much., with a miners’ meeting, but
here there wit! be no devoted ladv

» swift, clean blow. He would have
followed up his attack onlv for the
lie -tenant, who grappled with him.
“Here! Do you want me to put ,
you in irons?”
Courteau raised himself with dis- >
ficulty; he groped for the bar and
.supported himself dizzily thereon,
snarling from the pain. With his
free hand he felt his cheek where
Pierce’s knuckled had found lodg
ment; then, as !t fuller realization of
the indignity his privileged person"
had suffered came home to him he
burst into a torrent of frenzied
abuse.
“Shut up 1” the officer 'growled, un
sympathetically. “I know as much

you do, and if Phillips hadn’t floored
you I would. That’s how you stand
! with me.' You, too!” he shot at the
McCaskeys. “Le* me warn you if
this is a frame-up you’ll all go on

hear me? _ Os course, if you want
to press this charge I’ll make the ar

the Count. “The fellow is a thief, a

half dragged, half carried her out
into the street; wjth his arm about
her waist he helped her toward her
hotel.
The walk was a silent one, for
Rouletta was in a Itate bordering
upon collapse; gradually she regained
control cf herself and stumbled along
beside him.
“They’re three to One,” she said,
finally. “Oh, ’Poleon! They’ll
swear it on him. The Police are
strict; they’ll give him five years. I
heard the colonel say so.”
“Dere’s been good deal of short
weighin’, but—” Doret shook his
head. "Nobody goin' believe Cour
ieau. And McCaskey is dart* t’ief.”
“If—only I—could help him.
You’ll go to him, ’Poleon, won’t you?
Promise."
Silently the Canadian assented.
They had reached the door of the
hotel before he spoke again; then
he said slowly, quietly:
“You been playin’ ‘hearts’ wit’
him, ma stxur? You—you love mm?
Yes?”
“Oh—yes!" The confession "came
in a miserable gasp.
"Bien! I never s’pect biffore.
Wal, dat’s all right.”
“The Police are swift and merci
less,” Rouletta persisted, fearfully.
"They hate the Front Street crowd;
they’d like to make an example."
“Go in Vour li’i bed an* sleep," he
told her, gently. 1 “Dis ting is corn
in’ out, all right. ’Poleon fix it, sure;
he’s dandy fixer."
For some time after she door had
closed upon Rouletta the big fellow
stood with bent head, staring at the
snow beneath his feet. The cheer,
the sympathy, had left his face; the
smile had vanished from his lips;
his features werqi set and stony.
With an effort he snook himself, then
murmured:
“Poor li’l bird 1 Wal, I s’poje now
I got to bus’ dat jail!”
CHAPTER XXIV
Although ’Poleon had spoken with
confidence, lie ieufid, upon arriving
-at Police Headquarter's, that the sit
uation was by no means as simple as
:t had appeared, and that something
more than a nj.ece, vybid. regarding
Phillips’ character would be required
to otiscj, the very definite acrusaticSC
againsrhim. Courteau, he
had pressed his charge with vigor*,
and although the two"McCaskeys hate
maintained thei? outward show of re-5
Jttctanca at being dragged into th<s
affair, they had, nevertheless, sub 2
stantiated his’statements .» ith a thor-'
and a .deffiil that hinted
jfujrv than a little if vincfiqtiyeness.’
Pierce, of courser had denied his
guilt, but his total inability to ex
plain how the gold-dust in dispute
came to be concealed m the cashier’s
iP.qc, to which no one but he had
access, had left the Police no altern
ative except to hold him. By the time
’Ppleon arrived Pierce had been
locked up sot the night.
Drawing Rock aside, Doret put in
an earnest plea for his young friend.
The lieutenant answered him with
some impatience: «. /
“I admit it looks fishy, but what
is there to do? The colonel likes
Pierce, as we all do, but—he had
tjo choice.”
“It’s dirty frame-up.”
“I imagine he believes so. And
yet—how the deuce did that sack get
where it was? J'was standing along
side the McCaskey’s when Courteau
went up" to pay his cheek, and I’m
sure they had no part in if."
“M’sieu’ le Comte is sore," ’Poleon
asserted. “Me, I savvy plenty. Wal,
how we goin get dat boy from out of
jail, eh? By Garb I bet I don’ sleep
none if I’m lodkftp.”
“Get bail for'sK."
’Poleon was frankly puzzled' at this
suggestion, but when its nature had
been explained his face lit up.
“Ho! Dat’s nice arangements, for
sure. Come! I fix it noV.”
“Have you got enough money?”
“I got Tout t’irty dollar, but dat
ain’t mak’ no differ. I go to work-<
in’ som*where.„Me, I’m good for
anyt’ing."
“That won’t do," Rock smiled,
smiled. “You don’t understand."
Laboriously he made more p[pin the
mysteries of court procedure, where
upon his hearer expressed the frank
est astonishment ’ss f ’iJ .
"^ acre J” tbe latter ■exclaimed.',
“What for yhu say two, free t’duian*

“Morris Best was willing to go hit

been so much short-weighing go ini
on. Understand?” ,
'Poleon wagged his head in DewiV
