 A day or two later Stafford learned that by this sale of his bank stock Tandy had practically parted with the last investment he had in any Cairo enterprise.
 He greatly wondered at that, and as he sat with Duncan and Hallam in Hallam's parlor that night the three indulged in many conjectures concern ing Tandy and his plans. The only conclusion they arrived at was ex- pressed by Captain Will:
 Hes up to mischief of some sort. We must watch him."

MOSS DINNER FOR SIX.

Dr. Hansteen Believes It Is to Be
 Popular Food For the Masses.
 Dr. Hansteen. chief lecturer at the Agricultural school at Alas, Norway, declares his belief that moss is des- tined to become a great popular food for the masses owing to its cheapness and nutritious value, according to a special cable dispatch from Christiania to the New York Sun.
 A common, greenish white moss that is found almost everywhere was clean ed. subjected to a chemical process. pressed and cooked. It makes a dish delightlng the most blase epicure, and it is as nutritive as the vegetables nov used, if not more so. It can also be ground and used as meal for bread making.
 Dr. Hanstecn says his experiments show that nine ounces of moss, cost ing the equivalent of cents. will make a dinner for six persons.

The problem of what to grow In tho semiarid sections of the country has been responsible for some of the i'm portant seed and plant introduction work accomplished in this country. Some months ago attention was called in this correspondence to the ready ac- ceptance with which the durum or macaroni wheat of the Mediterranean countries had been received in the semiarid portions of the west, its crfi- tivation being so successful that tie experiment had been tried of exporting a cargo abroad to the very section from which the seed came originally. Statistics gathered since that article was written show that last years crop of this new variety reached the high total of 20,000,O00 bushels. Because of the ability to grow it on land which had too little rainfall for raising the standard varieties of wheat and be- cause of the larger yield to the acre the growers of durum wheat found 1t possible to pay all the cost of cultiva- ton, garnering and transportation to Europe and to set 1t down there at profit in competition with home grown macaroni wheat
 An agricultural explorer sent to Tur- kestan number of years ago brought back species of alfalfa which he pre- dicted could be cultivated on the arid lands of the west with much greater success than any then known. The new variety has been found to yield half again as much and in some locali- ties double the crop of the ordinary al- falfa. What such an increase means commercially may be roughly estimat- ed when it is known that its introduce ton affects the whole section from the two Dakotas and Montana along the upper boundary to Wyoming and Utah and down through Nebraska and Kan sas to Texas. Three of the largest seed firms of the country have been import ing this seed in carload lots, with full confidence in finding a market for 1t ID the west.

Concrete House Builder.

A New Yorker who eats and sleeps in Long Island village Is slowly build ing concrete house, says a New York correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis patch. He bought machine for mold ing hollow blocks of cement and ex- poets the new home to defy all the ele- nents, earthquake and tidal wave. T can't afford to pay the extraordinary prices asked for lumber" he said re- gently. Cement is cheaper when a man can spend two hours a day mak- ing his own building blocks. Splendid exercise.

"Is he interested in the company you spoke of, that Is building line from Memphis to the Ohio river?"
 Yes; he's heavily in that. Indeed, he Is president of it, believe, or some thing like that, just as he is of our company well, no; the parallel doesn't hold, for ours is only projecting com pany as yet, while that is full fedged railroad company actually engaged in building. suppose that is one of the things that tied Handy up at the time of the bank trouble. He had put a pot of money into it, and he could nei- ther sell his stock nor raise money on 1t till the road should be finished and in operation. But why do you ask about that, Barbara"
 For answer she crossed the room and, returning, spread out map on a table.
 Look" she said. putting her finger on the map. At point only little cast of that county line concerning which Tandy got the strange stipula- ton made our proposed line will be much nearer to Paducah than the dis tance from that point to Cairo. May it not be possible"-
 By love, Barbara" Duncan ex- claimed as he bent over the map, you've solved the riddle! What a splendid combination it is! And how we must hustle to defeat it.'
 "You must be calm, then, and let us work 1t all out and be sure of every thing before you tell Captain Will about it. want you to have full credit for the timely discovery"
 Me? Why, it is all yours, Barbara, and you are to have all the credit"
 "Oh, no. You told me the things that enabled me to guess h out, and I've only been trying to help you. I'm glad if I have helped, but positively my name mustn't be mentioned. I'm only a woman"
 "Only woman" Duncan echoed. "Only a woman. Barbara, Gods wis dom was never so wise as when he created only woman to be help meet for man."

But I tell you" answered ianay, that at present I have no bonds or stocks conveniently available for such purpose"
 T will accept your insurance stock" :"
 I've parted with that"
 Well, as l certainly have no disposl- tion to be hard upon you. I'll accept your stock in the Atlantic and Mlssis. sippi Steamship company, or even your Mississippi Valley Transportation con- pany stock. though neither can be reck- oned first class security"
 I've sold out of both companies, 1" answered Tandy.
 By this time Duncan began to won der what had happened to Tandy. ip a financial way. just as Hallam had done.
 Wonder where he has been putting his money" he thought. flor surely he had plenty of 1t little while ago. He's been buying property along the new railroad. but that Isn'; suficient to tie up a man of Tandy's wealth Something must be the matter. I must be cautious"

howw @
 T imagine Tandy thinks 50 by this time"
 As there was no other bank in Cairo and nobody else who could make a loan such as Tandy must have on the instant he was simply compelled to make the sale on Hallam's own terms.
 With Hallam's check in hand he hurried to the X National, arriving there just in time to meet Guilford Duncan's demand.
 Duncan received the check in the bank parlor, again insisting that Left wich should be present at the inter- view.
 'I'll take that paper, if you please" Handy said, holding out his hand for 1t.
 "Not until you shall have adjusted the other matter. The banks books show that while you were still presi- dent of the institution you made loan of $30,000 to yourself on your un- secured note, without even an indorse- ment. You know that in, doing 80 you violated the law you were sworn to obey and enforce. With that I do not now concern myself. What I ask Is that you secure the bank for that loan, which still stands. When that is done Mir. Leftwich will return this paper to you. In the meanwhile I place 1t in his hands,"
 Really, Mir. Duncan"-for since the early part of that mornings interview Tandy had not ventnred again upon the familiarity of addressing Duncan without the really, Mir. Dun- can, you are pressing me too hard. You must give me few days'- N
 How can I? The law would hold me at fault if should allow the bank to close today with that loan unsecured. I have no right to give you time."
 You are prosecuting me"
 No, am not. If were minded to do that, I should call the loan in at Ohce. As 1t is, only ask you--as I must-to secure 1t as the law requires. I will accept any fairly good collateral you may have to offer. There is surely no hardship in that--no persecution In demanding that you shall temporarily leave with the bank enough of the bonds or stock certificates that you hold in plenty to comply with the law concerning loans by national banks. l have simply no choice but to insist upon that" ....-.---.

 That was an oversight on my paft, MT. Duncan. It was merely a matter of temporary convenience. You see. -one evening after hours happened suddenly to need that amount In cur rency. l came here 10 the bank and got 1t. putting the mem into the cash box in It's stead, as there were none of the banks oSicers or clerks here to take my check. Besides. I hadn't my check book with me. I fully intended to arrange the matter before the bank opened the next morning. but somehow I forgot 1t. It was only an oversight ! assure you"
 1t was a felony" answered Dun. can. in tone as free from stress as if he had merely said, Tt is raining" Then he added:
 twill you make a deposit now to clear that matter up? After you do so we can go on and adjust the other mat ters."
 Have mercy on me. Duncan! Give me q day or two to look about me! I've been investing very heavily of ate, and really I can't raise fifteen thousand at moments notice. You kiSow I am good for ten times that sum. Why not let 1t rest for a week. BayT
 "Mr. Tandy," replied Duncan. enun- riating every syllable as precisely as if he had been recitlng a lesson in for elgn tongue, let me remind you of something. Some time ago you offered to pay me a high price to commit crime. You remember the circum- stance. I have no doubt. You remem- Der that I refused and that you sought revenge by lying to the men who were then employing me. You told an in- famous lie that. if 1t had been believed, would have blasted my good name for ever. No: don't interrupt. I had not intended to mention this matter. espe- cially in Mir. Leftwich's presence"- lowing toward the bookkeeper. whose jaw had relaxed In astonishment. "I had not intended to mention that mat ter. but you have forced me to remind you of 1t by trying now to persuade me 10 commit a crime without any in- ducement whatever except such as may be implied in my concern for your convenience. Until now l have been prepared to consider your convenience 60 far as l could do so consistently with my duty to the bank. am now not disposed to consider 1t at all You must bring S15.000 here within an hour and redeem that piece of paper or I shall proceed against you criminally. After you shall have done that you must make such other deposits of cash or accept able securities as may be necessary to set your general account in order. That is all I have 10 say. I give you one hour in which to take up this pa- per. and I give you the rest of the day in which to adjust the other mat ter. That ends our conference. and must excuse myself. You know your way out

decided that the difference was
expressed by the above amount.
Mr.. Doster informed me later
that he had been able to borrow
the necessary sum and make
