What was there about the easterner that kept him constantly in Darrel's mind. Was it the subtle working of destiny
 On approaching Gryce in the War Eagle trail DarreI had taken note of the dull suspicion in the foreman S mind. and the man in corduroys was first to occur to the fugitive as a foil. Now, standing beside the peculiarly marked horse, a weird sensation thrilled through Darrel's nerves.
 After brief pause he passed to the hut The door was closed and he halted and listened,
 No sound came from within. The silence was intense and even the deep breathing of a sleeper might have been heard.
 Pushing open the door Darrel stepped quickly across the threshold Through an unglazed opening the moonlight fell and trailed across the rotting floor, but everywhere else how cred mysterious and ominous shadows.
 Darrel groped his way forward and ran against a table After a pause he took match from his pocket and struck it against the tabletop.
 In the dim light he saw the old trayeling-bag open before him Clean linen met his startled gaze, a razor and shaving materials, sole leather case containing toilet articles and a small sround mirror.
 A bit of candle, planted in it's own drippings, stood in the center of the table, while two other candles, un- used lay near it. Darrel applied the fiiekering match to the eandle-wiek and then, from sheer weariness, fell on an old stool at the table side
 For a space he rested, his eyes talk ing in the objects spread out before them and growing keen for the slight est detail. One-half of the opened traveling-bag lay over some papers Pushing the bag aside he saw small heap of letters and a red morocco hook, well worn and marked in tar nished gilt: "Junius MeCloud'
 His gaze royed elsewhere and in an instant he was brought up standing, limbs rigid and eyes staring. Near the papers, and lying so that it had been

opened it.


 A third of the leaves were gone hav- ing been torn raggedly from the book and undoubtedly destroyed. On the remaining leaves there was not scrap of writing.
 A sigh of disap pointment escaped the man and he laid down the book and drew the little heap of letters in front of him. Suddenly he paused.
 What right had he to read that cor respoaaence? He boasted Of being hone1f and honorable was there any thing honest or honorable in reading another's letters. even though that other were dead?
 It was a fine point and it is to Dar- rel's credit that it occurred to him. There is a time. however, when neces- sity makes it's own laws and Darrel, with half-apologetic look in the di rection of the bunk, was soon deep in the matter before him.

 At the other end of the room was a bunk built against the wall. Beside the bunk, across another stool. were the eorduroys. neatly folded.
 A form lay in the bunk-a still form whose wide. unmoying eyes seemed fixed upon the intruder. Darrel heaved a deep breath The form was not that of Murgatroyd but of the customer.
 How came Murgatroyds revolver there? There were a dozen things Darrel wanted to do, all at once, but he set his hand to the thing nearest him.
 Picking up the revolver he examined it. That it was the same weapon he had held in his hands few hours before five cartridges. their lead tips marked with an M" convinced him beyond all peradventure.
 The weapon was 45 and the empty shell of the sixth cartridge lay under the hammer Barrels breath came hard and quick as he laid the revolver back on the table

Cloud, otherwise the man in corduroys.
 Life is a game of chance. Darrel reasoned, and every man plays it through with Fate for an opponent. It is perforce an honorable game, for Fate will tolerate none of your short card gentry.
 The backs of the cards may not be read and various tricks and makeshifts are tabooed Fate loves a daring and honest player; one for example who will discard aces in the hope of help ing" inferior cards.
 But the play of Fate is peculiar, as the establishing of Murgatroyd's guilt through the instrumentality of Me Cloud will witness. One thing alone remained to make Darrel's assurance doubly sure.
 The bullet that killed Sturgis was in the possession of the doctor at Sandy Bar Would that bullet show the mark which Darrel had put upon every load in the weapon belonging 10 Murgatroyd?
 Darrel picked up the candle and St till now, had kept him from thinking much of the strange silence of Junius McCloud

In turning away, Darrel saw paper bag on a shelf near the head of the bunk. The bag contained food Fam ished as he was he began eating at once, carrying the bag to the table and clearing a place in front of him. McCloud, Darrel reflected. had been a fastidious person.

 There were no marks of violence on McCloud's person and it must be that i he had taken something to hurry him. self out of the world. His burden of guilt had been greater than he could bear and he had made his preparations and left life like a gentleman.

returns are pouring in from the invi-
tations sent out to the stock organiza-
lions of the country to attend the
reciprocity conference to be held at
Chicago on Aug. 16 and II. He has
also received word from Alvin ii:
Sanders, chairman of the reciprocity
committee, that fully 5000 responses
have been received at Chicago from
the various prominent trade organiza-
tions and individuals who: intend to
be present. Mr.. SGwynn said today:
Surely agricultural America will awak.

our prosperity impends in the shape OF
the new European policy, and an appeal
is made to all who have the interests OF
our producing class at heart to cooper
ate in making the Chicago conference
the starter of an agitation witch will be
heard in the District OF Columbia.
Notice has been served upon us by the
German government that in March next
the leading products of American farms
will be subjected to such excessive duties
in German markets as to practically pro-
hibit our competitive trade in that coun-
try. In 1904 we sold Germany eul
products to the extent Of s216,000,000 in
value and got from her $106, 000.Q 900, OF

That trade was secured under the COM

by the DinBley. bill, which opened the
German market for American goods
Such a market Is surely worth keeping
and I would like to see it expanded.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, July 27.-Immigrationa
has been increasing with such leaps and
bounds that congress VIII be foEced az
the next session to pass some sort OF re-
strictive legislation. -...,.i
The figures for the last fiscal year
show we now are receiving more than a
million steerage immigrants every year
and the percentage from the more un.
desirable sections Of Europe have been
increasing to dangerous degree. Fig:
ures Just completed show 1,O21 .42l
aliens brought into the United States
during the year ending June 30, 1905
The figures for the previous year were
S15,349. This shows the startling in
crease Of 212,072 immigrants, or more
than Is percent.
In the face of such stupendous il
tlux of foreigners, the large proportion
of whom are illiterate, and in Other
ways undesirable, congress necessarily
will have to take the matter up in 8
methodical manner, and put up some
new bar on Storage traffic. The steam
ship companies have begun to compete
for steerage business, they have opened
up new ports of departure from south
eastern Europe, and there is every rea
son to believe certain European copn
tries are deliberately dumping theil
worst classes upon the United States
with the aim in view of reducing theil
proportion of possible socia1istic agita
tors. and disturbers.

|. Washington, July 27.-Whether there

are many evidences in the possession Of
the neutral governments that Japan, is
coming to the Washington conference,
not imbued with a. desire to humiliate
Russia but only to exact terms which
will insure a lasting peace in the far

1t is known that Japan will demand

continuance of the negotiations are the
cession to japan Of sakhalin and the
transfer Of Russia g lease of the Lao

If the Russian ipotentiaries are
prepared to accept these essentials, the
officials here are confident that the ba-
sis will be laid for negotiations sure to
