THE CITY'S LUMBER TRADE.
Dealers Work tremendously, and Local I'M
proyements Have Created Large Demand.

e. A. McCorkle. representing large lum-
Der company of Chicago, was at the Bates
House. last night, and in conversation with
a few of his friends ventured q statement
which speaks we'll for the American lumber
trade. You may not believe me-" he said,
"but at the end of last year we computed
the total amount of lumber we had sold
during the twelve months, and found that
it would build solid board fence once
around the world. and twenty-five feet
high. These are official figures"
"How much of that fence could the In
dianapolis trade have built:" asked the re-
porter.
That would be pretty hard to say, but
Indianapolis ranks very high in the lum-
Der market. You have sixteen lumber
about their owners. They are harmonious
in their dealings. Any one who sells lum-
Der in this city will find that the dealers
are not trying to cut under each other in
schemes
40 what do you attribute the large
lumber trade in this eityp
TO two things. The city is centrally To-
Gated, and the market catches everything
from the Wisconsin and Michigan forests
that passes Chicago Then. too, it is in a
direct route to handle the yellow pine from
Kentucky. OF course the native
up. and an immense amount of
timber is shipped here on that ac-
count. The second reason 1 would give,
and. In fact, the principal one. is the fact
that the city is doing so much building.
About two weeks ago / sold thirty five car
loads of lumber here in two days. and at an
other time sold fifty three in three DAYS.
That is n great deal TO handle in so short n
time, and find that there is a constant de-
mand for il for local building purposes"
DO you find the trade better in other
cities than il is herei"
mo. do not. Nor do find any city in
the country where more building and i'm
provement is going on. indianapolis has
grown remarkably in the last few months,
and from the indications at present look
for bigger lumber market here tAis fall
than we have had during the spring.

BREWERIES NOT FOR SALE.
English Syndicate Agents Not Allowed Even
Options by the Local Producers of Beer.

For two weeks or more there have been,
every day or so, representatives in the city
of an English brewery syndicate, whose
sole object has been to open up negotiations
with local brewers looking toward pur-
chase of their establishments. These men
have been careful to avoid re-
reporters. Last week four English
men were in the city, but each. when ques-
toned by a Journal reporter, denied any
connection with brewery syndicate of
any kind whatever. and one even went so
far as to give false name in order
to escape an interview. Notwith-
standing this secrecy, the fact is con-
coded by local brewers that no bargain
whatever was effected. They unanimous
ly gave the would-be buyers to understand
that they had nothing to sell except their
beer. which they intend to. deal ont
TO indianapolis customers themselves.
As sort of side issue, when this
alleged English syndicate question
was first agitated, outside brewers
who We're In no way concerned in the local
market, had a force of agents at work
among the Irish saloon keepers asking
them TO buy their beer. They represented
that the breweries here would soon be under
English control, and that to trade with
them would be giving money to people who
were not friends Of the Irish.

VACATION DAYS

The drowsy days of summer drift
with the stay at-homes; fly fast enough
with those whose vacation they mark.
We are expert in both uses. the turn
about succession letting some GO free,
while others stay to welcome our friends,
who continue to favor us in great num-
bers, we are glad to say, with their
presence and their purchases. There Is
never time when we can't make 1t en-
tertaining and economical for them, and
these days there is always something
new appearing-somea advance herald OF
the coming seasons richness-to be
seen. Come see.

Still Refuse to Paw,

Since the decision of Mayor Denny that
the $3.50 liquor-license law is valid the city
authorities are experiencing some trouble
with saloon keepers, who claim that no
action to force them to pay the license can
be taken until the matter is decided in the
higher courts. Some have paid the adj
ditonal $780, but nearly three-fourths have
refused, and prosecutions against these
will begin at once. Should the Supreme
Court not reverse tho Mayors decision all
of those who have not complied Herewith
will be held for dclinquencies.

CHAPTER VII. PERCIVAL THORPE.

Iii Midshire is an old baronal estate, known as Percival Thorpe. Percival Thorpe has been the ancestral home of the Perci- vals for four centuries, anf is a place of which any man might well be proud. Sur rounded by d magnificent. richly-tlmbered park, the mansion is one of the finest spcci- mems extant of the Elizabethean style of architecture.
 The owner of this palatial residence at the commencement of the present century was Sir Philip Percival who lived after the manner of his forefathers, in great style. He was very fond of conducting his visitors from room to room all over the house, so that they might see the extent. wealth and antiquity of his belongings. Perhaps the finest room in the house was tho dining hall, in which, every day, dinner was served, even though, as was mostly the case, Sir Philip partook of the meal in solitary state. It was gorgeous room indeed; of large dimensions, lighted by three deep bay windows of stained glass and an oriel at the upper end. The walls were paneled with oak and hned with Spanish tapestry.
 One evening in June, in the year of our Lord 1915. the old baronet sat alone in his dining-hall, imbibing sundry draughts of his favorite old port, and scanning, by the
 
 wax candles, the London Gazette, brought down that day by the mail from the metrop- olis. He was reading the report of the great victory gained by the allied armies at Waterloo, and at the end was appended a list of the officers killed anl wounded. For, while those who have loved ones in the rank and file must wait for the return of the army ere they can learn aught concerning them, the London Gazette affords prompt in- formation to the upper classes of the fate of those of their friends who hold his Majesty's commission. But, also, bad news is bad news for high and low. rich and poor; death spreads as dark cloud over the palaces as the cot; and when the old bar onet saw in the list of sofficers killed in actlonn at Waterloo the name of "Walter Percival, Captain Kings Dragons" he fell back in his arm chair, dazed and almost un- conscious. His only boy, his hope and pride, the son of his old age-gone
 Sir Philip was well on to fifty when he took to himself a beautiful girlish wife whom he had loved as only strong men can love, and whom he had only been permitted to know for one brief year. But when at the end of that time she left earth for Heav en she gave her husband baby-boy, the heir to PercivalthoFpe, and so for his moth er's sake, as well as because he was his only son, Sir Philip loved his boy dearly. Truly he was noble lad-a lad not to be spoiled As he grew up in those days of wars and rumors of wars. when the fame of Napoleon and Wellington was filling the world, it was scarcely surprising that his bold spirit should yearn to take part in the battles of his country. At twentyone he
