"Why, what is the matter?"
"Annette has just left me-"
"She has been here again? How very
imprudent! She ought not to have

'Poor little grill" sighed WILDLY.
"She had heard about the shooting at

that she came right in, regardless of
consequences"

"But what kept you so long in the rose

Hendricks smiled. II went to find

where near, for I had seen freshly
broken lockwood twig near the tracks,
and knew that she would not have
wished to be seen with the revolver
after the report. I found it carefully
hidden in thick cluster of long grass
about two yards from her footmarks.
I would have brought it with me, but
she will go for it tonight, and if it were
not there she would suspect that I

''You have taught me lesson"
laughed Welsh. II should have brought
: it away, and told the reporters about
it. Shall you arrest her?"
"No; but I want you to watch her
and report her actions to me. I have
other things to attend to-" Hendricks
was silent for several minutes. He rose
and walked to and fro in the Office. a
thoughtful expression on his face.
"Anything else?" asked Capt. Welsh,

"Ihardly know" said Hendricks, stop

do something for me. You know this

sort of girl she was before she mar

and does she know WILDLY personally

had any affair of the heart with him?"
"Ah,: I get a little light" exclaimed
Welsh. eff she is interested in WILDLY,
and knows him to be guilty, she may
have played that part to mislead us, to
establish an alibi for him, which would
not be hard to do, since he is under
watch in another part of town. All! she
is a clever girl"
Hendricks paid no attention to
Welsi1's remark. He had begun his
nervous walk up and down the room

Hendricks caught his eye. "Oh!" he

The question of forest reserves was dis

The senators from states affected by
the forest order urged the rejection of the
entire conference report and an absolute
suspension of the presidents order
Mr.. Cannon of Utah, referred to the
order as barbarous and inhuman and Mr..
Stewart of Nevada, characterized it as
"a disgrace to American civilization and
the worst outrage of the last half CEN

Mr.. Pettigrew asserted that the order
was the result of the ignorance of
Grover Cleveland.' He said in South Da-

BALLOON MAKES FUN.
Careers Over st. Louis Roofs Knock
ing Down Chimneys.

St Louis, May 27.-Dr. H. L. Wolf
ner and family were despoiled of their
dinner and somewhat alarmed last ev-
ening all on account of a balloon
Last Wednesday afternoon the Boy
ton summer garden inaugUrated its
season of 'shOOt the chutes" and var
lous other attractions, among them
balloon ascension and parachute leap
by Tom Cannon.
The entertainment passed off merrily
enough. and at $50 O'Clock the aerOnaut
made ready for his aerial voyage. The
oiled silk balloon had lain for hours,
slowly filling with gasses and when the
announcement came that the car was
waiting to depart a great crowd rush
ed to the Enclosure.
A few moments later. the balloon was
off, with Tom Cannon sitting astride
the dangling ropes.
When at a perilous height over Grand
avenue and Herbert street Mr. Cannon
raised his parachute and dropped. For
a few seconds he shot downward with
great velocity Then the parachute
opened, and he reached the ground
safely
But the balloon. relieved of its bur
den, flew upward until it was merely a
speck in the sky. Then it struck a
northwestern current Of air and start
ed on a tour OF its own, developing as
unexpected in a mild, inflated thing.
1t sailed away southwark and began
slowly to descend. Every boy between
Herbert street and Chouteau avenue
raised the hue and cry and started in
pursuit of the fleeing bag. When over
Cass avenue it burst with loud report
and volumes OF black smoke poured
from its side as it went whizzing on
ward. Then it careened and fattened
into a shape very nearly resembling
the popular and evanescent air ship
only the broad, bright light of day and
the nearness to earth of the balloon
prevented any misrepresentation
Reaching Franklin avenue, the bal
loon just missed the tops of houses, and
as it flew across Washington avenue.
the attached weight to the loOsened
rope struck the corner of DR.. Wolfner's
house. 1t jerked loose and then began
having fun with the chimney pots To
the mOmentary alarm of the family,
there was a series of crashes. the kitch-
en- became filed with smoke, SCOT and
flames and much excitement ensued-
not from fear of the balloon but the
posi- bility of fire.

After a break of 51bc they have unloaded

cases have gone short of market and now
figure the July option selling at CSC, next
week. whereas previous to this flop their
ideas ranged all the way from 75c to soc.
The feeling among local crowd is unani-
mOusly bearish. Nothing on which to
break and holdings are now in hands of
people better able to stand break. We
feel friendly to wheat and advise pur~
