Mrs. Hay?' >. -: S.. / 80.
But Mrs. Hay said no. She had bad
coffee before coming. She. would 20
and see if there was anything they
could do for Field, and would try
again to induce Mrs. Dade to listen
to certain of her explanations:
But Mrs. Dade was silent and pre-
occupied. She was. thinking Of that
story of Nanette's going, and won
dering whether it could be true. She
was WONDERING g if Mrs. Hay knew the
couriers had gone to recall Hay, and
that if he and Nanette failed to re-
turn it might mean trouble for both.
She could accord to Mrs. Hay no con-
fdences of her own, and had been
compelled to decline to listen to those
with which Mrs. Hay would have ia
1ored her. She was thinking of some
thing still more perpleXing. The gen.
eral, as her husband finally told her,
had asked first thing to see Hay, and
later declared that he wished to talk
with Mrs. Hay and see Nanette. Was
il possible that he knew anything of
what she knew-that between Hays
household and Stabber's village there
had been communication of some kind
that the first thing found in the In
dian pouch brought home by Capt.
Blake was letter addressed in Man.
cite Flowers hand, and with it three
card photographs, two of them of un-
and two letters, addressed, like hers,
to Mr.. Ralph Moreau-one care of the
Rev. Jasper Strong, Valentine, Neb,
the other to the general delivery,
Omaha?
Yes, that pouch brought in by Capt.
Blake had contained matter too
weighty for one woman, wise as she
was, to keep to herself. Mrs. Blake,
with her husbands full consent, had
summoned Mrs. Ray, soon after his
departure on the trail of Webb, and
told her of the strange discovery.
They promptly decided there was
only one thing to do with the letter
hand or send it, unopened, to Miss
Flower. Then, as Blake had no time
to examine further, they decided to-
search the pouch. There might bel
more letters in the same superscrip:

cleared up, yet Ehe knew there were
reasons why she wanted him away
reasons hardest Of al. to plalsibly
explain. There were reasons, indeed,
why she was glad Nanette was gone.
/ She was glad: Nanette" was gone,
because Field, wounded and present,
would have advantages over possible
suitors absent on campaign-because
all the women and q few of the men
were now against her, and because
from some vague, intangible symp-
toms, Mrs. Hay had satisfied herself
that there was. something in, the
wind Nanette was hiding from-her
benefactress, her best friend, and it
seemed like cold -blooded treachery.
Hay had for two days been disturbed,
nervous and unhappy, yet, would not
tell her why. He had been cross-ques-
ioning Pete, "Crapaud" and other en-
zployes, and searching about the
premises in way that excited Curl
osity and even resentment, for the
explanation he gave was: utterly in
adequate. To satisfy her, if possible,
he had confded, as he said, the fact
- that certain money for which Lieut..
Field was accountable, had been
stolen. The cash had been carefully
placed in his old-fashioned safe; the
missing money, therefore, had been
taken while still virtually in his
charge. 't.They might even suspect
me-" he said, which she knew would
not be the case. "They forbade my
speaking of it to anybody, but I sim
ply had to tell you" She felt sure
there was something he was conceal
ing; something he would not tell her;
something concerning Nanette, there
fore, because she so loved Nanette he
shrank from revealing what might
wound her, indeed, it was best that
Nanette should go for the time, at
least, but Mrs. Hay little dreamed
that others would be saying-even
this kindly, gentle woman before her
that Nanette should have stayed
until certain strange things were
thoroughly and satisfactorily ex-
planned
But the moment she began, falter-
ing not little, to speak of matters
at the post, as a means of leading
up to Nanette-matters concerning
Lieut.. Field and his financial affairs
to her surprise Mrs. Dade gently up
$ifted her hand and voice. II am 60

TARIFF! AID EXPORTS

The trusts are driving American
materials out of foreign markets and
killing the American export trade
by keeping up high prices in order
to pay interest and dividends on we
tered stocks
This revelation, which will come
AS surprise to the American pub
lie that has been lead to believe Am
erican goods were supplanting all 9th
ers in foreign markets, is made by no
less an authority than Mr.. Charles
T. Yerkes, the COSMOPOLITAN railroad
magnate who has just returned from
in London that he is building. Mr.
Yerkes was asked if he had come to
: n,erica to buy materials for the Lon
don work. He replied:
Hardly. The London reads will be
built and equipped with English ma
terial and as far as possible with Eng
lish labor. To tell the candid truth
the American materials are all very
igh-abnormally high and we will
buy nothing in this country except
what we are compelled to for reasons
] have stated.
Since the trusts have been absorb
ing the business interests of this
country, the American materials and
commodities have been slowly dis
appearing from the European mar
kets. False reports spread by the
agents of the trusts will hide actual
conditions for time, but the prices
now maintained by the trusts are
outrageous.
Take steel, for instance: it is now
about 30 per cent higher than three
of four years ago. 1t is becoming a
drug on the foreign market. The Euro
pean business interests are in open
revolt against this sort Of brigandage.
Cars that could be purchased only
three years ago for $3.50 are now
quoted at $4,000. Most things are
in the same proportion, and l know
