    The Grand Babylon Hotel
By ARNOLD BENNETT.
(Continued From Saturday.)
"■Will you not comp with us Eu
fcen?” said Prince Aribert.
“Leave me alone." was the strange
leply. "Who Is that fellow?”
“That is my friend, Air. -KackBole,
an American—to whom wc owe a
/Treat deal. Come and have supper,
Eugen.”
“I won't,” answered Eugcn dogged
ly. "I’m waiting here for her. She
•aid she'd come.”
"Who is she?” Aribert asked, hu
moring him.
"She? You mustn't ask. Don’t pry,
Encle Aribert. She was wearing a
red hat.”
"I'll take you to her, my dear Eu
gcn.” Prince Aribert put his hand
on the other's shoulder, but Eugcn
shook him off violently, stood up,
and then sat down again. His face
was flushed, and Racksole observed
that the left pupil was more dilated
than the right. The man stared, mut
tered odd, fragmentary scraps of
sentence#, now grumbling, now whin
ing.
"We had better get hitn upstairs,
somehow,'’ said Racksole.
"Yes,” Aribert assented. “Eugen,
1he lady with the red hat, the lady
you are waiting for, is upstairs. .She
has sent us down to ask you to come
up.”
N”Himmei:” the poor fellow ex
claimed. with a kind of weak anger.
“Why did you not say this before?”
He rose, staggered towards Aribert,
and fell headlong oti the floor. He
had swooned. The two men raised
him. carried him up the stone steps,
and laid him with infinite care on a
sofa.
'"One of us must fetch a doctor,” ,
said Prince Aribert.
”1 will." said Racksole. At that j
moment there was a quick, curt rap
<m the French window, and both |
Racksole ami the prince glanced
around, startled. A girl's face was
pressed against the large window
pane. It was Nella's. Racksole un
fastened the catch, and she entered.
"I have found you," she said light
ly. "I couldn't sleep. I guessed where
you were. What’s this?” She pointed
to the form on the sofa.
"That is my nephew. Prince Eu
gen, ” said Arisen.
"He is ill." said Racksole, "his
brain is turned.”
N'ella began to examine the un
conscious prince with the expert
movements of a girl who had passed
through the best hospital course to
be obtained in New York. "He has
got brain fever.” she said. "That is
all, but it will be enough. Do you
know if there Is a bed anywhere in
this remarkable house?"
CHAPTED VIII.
In the Night-Time.
"He must on no account be
moved." said the dark little Belgian
doctor.
That pronouncement rather nbttled !
their plans for them. It was certain
ly a professional triumph for N'ella, i
who. previous to the doetbr's arrival,
bad told them the very same thing,
fche assured them that Prince Eugen
was murh more seriously ill than
either of tfibin suspected, and she
urged that they should take absolute
possession of the heuse. and keep pos
session till Princ* Eugen was oin
x alescent.
"But what about the Spencer fe
male?" Racksole said.
"Keep her a prisoner. And hold
the house against all romers. If Jtilcs
should come hack, simply defy him
to enter—that is all. There are two
of you. so you must keep an eye on
the former occupiers, it they return,
and on Miss Spencer, while I nurse I
the patient.”
By the evening of the following
day, verything was going smoothly.
The doctor came and departed several
times, and sent medicine, and teemed
fairly optimistic as to the issue of the
Illness. An old woman had been In
dured to come In and cook and clean.
Vies Spencer was kept out of sight
c,n the attic floor, pending some decl
■ion as to what to do w ith her. And
no one outside the house had asked
any questions;
The third night it was Aribert'*
turn to watch. He sat silent by his
nephew's bedside, attending mechan
ically to his wants. His ears heard
a peculiar resonant boom. Me star!
ed—it was nothing but the city clock
striking twelve. But there was an
other sound—a mysterious shuffle at
ihe door. He went nnd opened it,
bis heart beating furiously. N'ella
lay in a hesp on the door mat. She
was fully dressed, but had apparent
ly lost consciousness. He carried tier
to a chair by the fireplace and laid
her in it. ‘‘What Is it. my angel?” he
v. nispered, and then he kissed her—
kissed her twice.
At las/ she opened her eyes, and
sighed. "Where am I?" she asked
vaguely, in a trrmulous tone. "Did
1 faint?”
"What has happened' Were you
ill?” he questioned anxiously. He
was kneeling at her f»ct, holding her
hatjd tight
"I saw Jules hy the side of my
bed,” she murrnurerfc "I'm sure I
saw him; lie laughed at me. I had
not undressed T sprang up, fright
ened. hut he had gone, and then I
ran downstairs—to you."
"You were dreaming," he soothed
he.r. "You must have been. I have
not heard a sound. No one could
have entered.”
“Perhaps I was dreaming." she ad
Trotted.
"You were overtired." he snirj, still
Unconsciously holding her hand. They
gazed at each other. She smiled at
him.
"You kissed me." she said suddenly,
and he blushed red and stood up be
fore her.
"Ah! Miss Rack sole ” he mutmured,
hurrying the words out. "It is un
forgivable, but forgive me. 1 was
overpowered by my forcings l did
not know what T was doing."
"Why did you kiss me?"
"Because. Nella! I love you. I
have no right to say it."
"Why have you no right to say
It?”
"If Kugen dies. I shall owe a duty
to Posen. T shall lie Its ruler."
"Well!" she said calmly, with an
adorable confidence. “Papa Is worth
forty millions. Would you not abdi
cate?”
"Ah!" he gave a low cry. "Will
you force me to say these things?
J could not shirk my duty to Posen,
end the reigfilng Prince of Posen can
only marry a. princess.”
"But Prince Kugen will live," she
•aid positively, "and if he lives"—
"Then T shall he free. I would re
nounce all my rights to make you
mine. If—If”— ^
"If what, prince?"
"If you would deign to accept tny
hand.'
Then there was a' crash of break
ing glass. Arlbert went to the win
dnw and opened It. In the starlit
gloom he could see that a ladder had
been raised against the back of the
house. Tie thought he heard foot
•teps at the end of the garden.
"It was Jules,” he exclaimed to
Nella, and without another word
rushed upstairs to the attic. The at
tic was empty. Miss Spencer had
vanished.
Prince Kugen had recovered; et nnv
rate, he wan convalescent, and had
tieen removed to T>ondnn. where he
wan lodged in the royttl aulte of the
fimnd Unbylon hotel. The lady with
CM Mid hat, the savage Mian
Spencer, the unscrupulous and ' bril
liant Jules, the dark, damp cellar,
t he horrible little bedroofn—these
things were over. Thanks to Prince
Aribert and the Racksoles, he had
emerged from them in safety. Only—
only Jules, Rocco, and Miss Spencer
were still at large, and Prince Kugen
bad still to interview Mr. Sampson
Levi. That various matters lay
heavy on his mind was beyond ques
tion. He seemed to have withdrawn
himself. Despite the extraordinary
experiences through which he had re
cently passed, he would say scarcely
a word to Prince Aribert.
When Mr. Sampson Levi camo for
the interview, Aribert detained Prince
Kugen for a few minutes. Kugen im
patiently demanded to know what he
wan(ed to say to him.
"Well, in the first place,” declared
Aribert, “I want to say that you will
not succeed with the estimable Mr.
Sampson Levi. Tou will never get
that million pounds out of him.”
Prince Kugen gasped, and then
swallowed his excitement. “Who has
been talking? Who told you?”
"Theodore Racksole, the millionaire.
These rich men have no secrets from
each other. It is rather a large sum
to have scattered in 10 years, is it
not? How did you manage it?”
"Don't ask me. Aribert., 'Jve been
a fool. But I swear to you that the
woman whom you call 'the lady in
the red hat' is the last of my follies.
I am about to take a wife, and be
come a -respectable prince."
"Then the engagement with
Princes Anna is an acconjpllshsd
fact?"
"Practically so. As soon as I have
.settler! with Levi, all will be smooth.
Albert, T wouldn't lose Anna for the
Imperial throne. I love her as a man
might love an angel.”
"And yet you would deceive her as
to your debts, Kugen?"
"Not her. hut her absurd parents,
and perhaps the emperor. They have
heard rumors, and I must set those
rumors at rest by presenting to them
a clean sheet." "
"I am glad you have been frank
with me, Kugen,” said Prince Aribert,
"but I will be plain with you. Tou
will not he able to present a clean
sheet to them. Because this Samp
son Levi will never lend you a mil
lion."
"Explain yourself."
"I propose to do so. Tou were
kidnaped merely to compel you to fail
in your appointment with Sampson
Levi. And it appears to me that they
succeeded."
“Well, what of that? He is only
loo glad to lend the money. He will
get excellent interest and the tirinci
pal in^lO years. How on earth have i
you got into your sage old head this
notion of a plot against me?"
"Have you ever thought of the
King of Bosnia?” asked Aribert cold
ly. ‘‘He is going to marry the
Princess Anna. Ho made overtures
there a year ago, and was rebuffed,
hut he will make overtures again, and
this time he will not be rebuffed."
"Then. Aribert. do you mean to
convey to me that my detention in
Ostend was contrived by the agents
of ttto King of Bosnia?"
"I do."
"With a view to stopping my nego- i
tiations with Sampson Levi, and so j
putting an end to the possibility of i
my marriage with Anna?”
Aribert nodded.
"Tou are a good friend to me
Aribet. But you are mistaken. I
will bet you a thousand marks that
Sampson Levi and I come to terms
this morning, and that the million is
in my hands before I leave Iavndon."
But this is what Sampson Levi told
Prince Kugen when he was admitted
to his presence: "I said I could keep
that money available till the end of
June, and you were to give me an
interview here before that date. Not
liaving heard from jour highness, and
not knowing your highness’,, address,
(hough my Herman agents made
every inquiry. I concluded that you
had made other arrangements. My
syndicate has now lent the monej’ to
the Chilian government.”
The prince made a gesture of an
noyance. “Mr. Levi,” he said, "if
you do not place the money in my
hands tomorrow you will ruin one of
the oldest of reigning families. Tou
are not keeping faith, and I had re
lied on you."
"Pardon me, your highness.” said
little Levi, rising in resentment, “it
is not I who have not kept faith. T
beg to repeat that money is no longer
at my disposal, and to bid your high
ness good morning."
That evening Felix Babylon came
back to the hotel as a guest—he was
homesick for the old place, l^acksole 1
welcomed him eagerly and related th*
events that had taken place after he
went away. He was startled upon
learning that Babylon had teen Jules
that daj' on the street , in London.
Immedlatelj' decided that the former
head waiter, would make another at
tempt upon Prince Kugen. he rea
soned, remembering the fate of Dim
mock, that it might take the form of
poisoning. He suggested wine as the
medium likely to lie chosen, in spite
of the fact that the prince's wine was
always opened by his personal at
lendant. This started Babylon on his
pet hobby, the famous wire cellars
under the hot*!, installed and stocked |
by himself. Racksole had never seen
them and on his suggestion they at
once made them a visit.

intriguing bits of oriental life of that,
day and duto are combined in the
picture version of Joseph Herge
shelmer’a "Java Head,” at the
Strand. Xot the biggest picture of
the year, nor the most spectacular,
nor the vehicle of any famous stars,
the entertainment quality is 100 per
cent throughout.
Thojie who have read the novel
whjch deals with the fortunes of n
skipper of a clipper ship and tells
of his lore for a Cninese maiden
whom he marries and brings back to
narrow-minded. Salem, defying the
old traditions of that very provincial
town of far traveling seafaring
folks, will be delighted with the pic
ture.
The artistry of the featured players
Is charming. I.eatrii:o Joy is exoek
lent as the Chinese maiden and Jac
queline I»gan interprets the role of
the sweetheart whom the sea cap
tain has forsaken for the love of the
daughter of China. Albert Ttoscoe,
George Fawcett and Raymond Hat
ton also have principal parts.
Frak Mayo In "The Flaming Hour"
at the Moon has a real melodrama
with a pair of villians and plenty of
action, ending in the demolishment
of a huge pianufacturlr.g plant In an '
explosion. The theme of the story
is the damage that, a quick and un
governable temper ran do to business,
marriage and all friendly acquaint- .
onceehips.
There it never a moment when the
melodrama pauses anil fans who like
thrills and suspense will surei.v obtain
them aplenty. The romance woven
into the story is consistent and the
cast carries the action of the storm
admirably.
One plans to laugh at or with Char
lie Chaplin in "The Pilgrim" at the
Rialto this week and maybe see some
thing more serious In Tlouglas Mc
Lean In "Bell Boy 13." the other half
of the bill. But there's a disappoint
ment—not that you don't get to
laugh all through "The Pilgrim," be
cause you can hardly help laughing
at the Inimitable Charlie, but when
you wait for that serious part, there
isn't any. "Bell Boy 13 is a riot of
laughs also, it's the equal in humor
of MsLeans success of two years ago,
"23'4 Hours' Leave."
Chaplin’s comedy this time is not
as one might suppose humor at the
expense of the minister of the law.
It's all humor at the expense of Char
lie and he's undeniably funny all
through this latest release.
As for "Bell Boy 13,” it is a farce
constructed on some of the things
that happen every day in modern ho.
tel life. There is a plot but the pic
ture doesn't need it for the plot part
hasn't anything to do with the "gags''
that make up the real entertainment
of the Aim.
Mae Marsh has chosen “Till We
Meet Again," which is featured at thej
World this week, as her starring ve-,
hide in which to journey hack to the
hearts of picture fans after a two
years' absence from screen work The
picture has a further distinction in
the fact that story, production and
direction were all done hv William
Christy Cabanne and the completed
work Is a testimonial of what such
unity of thought can produce. “Till
We Meet Again" is essentially » \
drama full of thrills and suspense
and lightened appreciably here and
there with bits of humor. It is in
teresting entertainment and Miss
Marsh has given an excellent char-j
acter portrayal in it. The story d-!
seif is that of a young girl who w, \
cheated out of her Inheritance and1
unjustly placed in an Insane asylum. 1
She escapes and becomes friends with
a band of crooks and through them
comes Into conflict with the man who
loves her.
Booth Tarkington's story of Ameri
can home life “The Flirt." which
opened Its second week yesterday at
the Sun theater is an honest to good
ness story of regular people in realty
hones t-to-good ness life and for that
reason the picture will charm people
who want to see something that
might have happened to the family
next door or so.
Eileen Perry and Helen Jerome
Eddy have the prinoipal roles but in
addition there Is Geoige Nichols who
plays the part of the father. He
seems to Just live the part and there's
a delightful impish small brother in
the east too, played by Buddy Mes
senger.
There's plenty of laughs In every
reel of the picture and there's pathos
and the other emotl-ms. too. It Is
such a wholly different sort of a
story that It Is hard to say It Is better
tlian anything you ever saw before,
hut it is certainly or.e of the most
entertaining films of the year.
Agnes Ayers In "A Daughter dt
Luxury,” at the Empress has not a j
picture that I* anything sheiky at
ail for the feminine star of “The 1
Sheik" has a rolllcky hit Of comedy
drama w ith a succession of humordus

excellently, setting off the lighter

New York, Fob. 25.—February,
which is apt to be a month of obscure
and uncertain movement in the finan
cial markets, has witnessed, this year,
an unusual series of significant
(banges.

the New York reserve bank redisco lint

The Business Barometer
This Week's Outlook in Commerce, Finance, Agriculture
and Industry Based on Current Developments.
By TIIKOIHIRK If. PR|« R.
Fdilor, Comm err© and FI nance. New York.
Copyright, 1923.
I am on my way back to New York after
having visited Norfolk. Va ; Augusts and
Atlanta. Cia ; Montgomery, Helms,
Dcunopolls and Birmingham. Ala . ^Jt.
I.yula. Hi. Joseph and Fulton. Mo.; Omaha.
I»*s Moines and Sioux City and Quincy,
The many business men that T have
talked with are almost unanimously and
aggressively optimistic Their attitude is
Illustrated by that of an Iowa newspaper
reporter who told me that he had been
■o long under or4rr» to take a cheerful
\ ew that ho found himself almost un
const tuusiy wYiling an obituary notice,
which read as follows: 'Thomas Smith.
h prominent and eucesafijl citizen, died
todav He had many friends who are
greatly bereaved Hy his death, hut It will
not in any wav check tha but I ness re
\i\al now In progress or the improved
demand for goods that is reported by our
merchants '*
The same spirit is expressed In the !
phraeo “The day of the tightwad has
pit -t d,” used ns a scare liesd for a. news
pnpep article demanding that the pro
l f> ds of h municipal bonds issue recently i
authorized should l»e immediately spent j
for city improvements to which the mayor'
l,;id objected as extravagant. The same
disposition to loosen up is expressed In
libera 1 buying for the spring tra.de and i
the large .vales reported by the traveling
men. of whom there seems to be an un
usually large number on the road.
The result is «n activity which is dally
gaining momentum and Is not likely to
be checked by anything short of a buy
er'*‘ strike or some sensationally d»pdessing i
Incident, neither of which la now in j
sight.
Recovery Is Natural.
Fundamentally the recovery Is na nat
ural reaction from the depression of the
lest two 'cars. It has hern brought about
by the drastic liquidation which has re-'
leased credit and made It possible for
I .‘Hikers to sell nearly two billions of new
seyiritles since the first of the year. It Is,
how ever, a mistake to assume that those
securities have been absorbed by Indi
vidual investor*. The bond selling or
k i nixa * ions of the country have now been
extended so that they include as under
' liters many of the smaller country
'••nke and not a few of the.ne institutions
have been induced to withdraw the securi
ties allotted them as an investment for
what Is called their secondary reserve
upon the theory that the bonds can he
sold when the money la needed. It re
mains to he seen whether this theory will
work ou* Some of the more conserve- !
five bankers doubt It and express more ,
or 1*«* apprehension In regard to the
situation thus created
Fpon the whole. however, there Is
but 1 ttle disposition to borrow trouble of
the future. Labor is fully employed,
price* are rising, stocks of merchandise
are still below normal and if the crops
turn out well it seems reasonable to ex.
peet a prosperous spring and summer.
In and around Indianapolis. which
claims to be the largest hog market in
the country, and the center of our great
• M hog producing territory, the feeling
is caper ally optimistic upon the theory
that with hogs at present prices the corn
fed t » them Is sold at S3 cents a bushel
which yields the farmer a very handsome
profit.
Tim merchant * ho told me th‘» added
that if wheat could be marketed a* a
is half, tits if nosier for once in
h s life would be perfectly happy.
Fast Is Fearful.
Rut as one cornea east there is f© be
be noticed increased interest in the Fran
co-German Jmpasse and a recognition of
tin sinister effect it will have upon our
export trade unless a way out of it Is
soon found. This and the wide publicity
given to the statement that brokers' loans
In New York now approximate $2,000,00©.
000 as compared with $000,000,000 two
years ago are making an impres.*|on upon
the minds of the trained students of fj.
nanclal conditions, of whom so many are
now to be found in the larger cities of
the middle west, and It may he that the
buoyancy of the stock market* will prove
to be less enduring than that of the dis
tributive trade in merchandise.
Thin would be natural and perhaps
salutary for a concurrent boom in stocks
an»I commodities would be likely to over
tax even the abundant credit facilities
with which the country is now provided.
Rediscount Rato Raised.
Although it has attracted but little at
tention the announcement that the Fed
eral Reserve bank of New York hat ad.
vanced its rediscount rate to 4'<4 per rent
should not be ignored. As the reserve
ratio still 1 Indicates a surplus if not a
plethora of lpndable credit it ‘ is to be in
ferred that the Federal Reserve officers
have detected some evidence of over ex
po nbion which has led them to sound a
cautionary note.
tl may be that they feel tha* the In
creases in brokers' loans or the continued
purchase of bonds by the banka ought
to be checked but whatever the facts be
hind it there 1* no doubt that the advance
in the rate will give power to the bear
speculators In the stock market.
Activity Remarkable.
The activity of business is indeed re
markable. Figures of the Department of
Commerce for January hhow a large in
crease in productive a«li\lty and the out
put *»f virtually all basic commodities is
the largest since the boom period of IV 0.
Ir, soin»* rases it even ascends those rec
ords »'ar loadings are much larger than
they have ever hern before at this ♦
of the year. The steel mill* are working
as n**ar capacity as they ever g*t. Tile
automobile industry Is still breaking rec
ords The trend of prices is still dis
tinctly upward under the leadership of
sugar, coffee, petroleum and the other
commodities which have featured recent
market news dumber and building ma
terials are higher, but the excited cheer
fulnea* of the building trade has been
somewhat tempered by the wldespr«ad re
ports of a shortage of labor. It is said
that the construction industry slone will
demand this spring about $00,000 more
laborers than will be available. We have
already heard similar reports from other
industries and though the effects of the
shortage will not b* felt at first because
of its tendency to raise prices and wages,
its ultimate dangene are obvious unless it
an be overcome by more efficient work.
It is a sample of ths lurking dangers
with winch ths boom eventually will be
confronted.
Statistica Not Available.
Insofar as statistic* are available our
import trade thus far has not been gt*a’ly
affected by the tariff The trade and in
dustry of Great Britain are Improving and
sterling exchange has resumed its ad
vance toward par.
That Great Britain !• keeping «»#p with
u« n our progress goes far to offset some
of the more discouraging Items from the
Ruhr and other part* of the world. But.
despite the general rosfrtese of the out
look. it seem* to me ♦hat it is desirable
to take a? least a •mall aupply of caution
along with the generous ameirft of con
fident optimism whbh we all poasoes

| Chicago Grain
Chicago, Feb. 25,—A alight chang*
in the character of the news from
abroad was noted during the closing
days of the week and. while on the
surface It remains distinctly bearish,
the undercurrent Is improving. Con
ditions on the continent are regarded
as rapidly nearing a crisis, and a rap
prochement between Germany and
France is believed to be only a mat
ter of a short time.
While there is little use jn denying
that the world’s statistical jmnltion is
bearish, taken as a whole. &ome enthu
siastic Kuropean b*ars have been
sending cables that can only be con
strued as indicating that there fo a
great deal of propaganda being circu
lated, with no other intent than that
of trying to depress price*.

to the trade on March 9. Ro far no pri

year and 217,037,000 bushels, or 24 1 p*r

per cent.
Even with more favorable weather for
the next two or three we-.ks. the rondi
»!on of the new win'er vbstt crop will
be largely a question of guess work until
some time in April. There la still a dry
section in the southwest that se.id* com
