hold on, What ails the fellow? he
demanded, staring after the other as
he bounded up the stairs. well, that
beats me!'
He was still staring when Tremaine
appeared ut the landing and came
down, packet of letters in his hand.
IT want to put these IN the bag" he
said, so they'll get off by the early
mail"
ITS on the rack out there" Delroy
replied, and the other went past him
into the outer hall. He was back in a
moment.
That's good evenings work." he
said, with sigh of satisfaction. But
what's the matter? You look as though
you'd seen a ghost"
''DrySdale came in just now looking
as though he'd seen one, all nerves and
raw flesh. and stalked upstairs as
mad as a hornet about something"
"Ah," said Tremaine, with just the
flicker of an eyelash, land yet one
would have thought that a walk
through the silence of the night would
, calm his nerves. There comes the
RAIN
! There was hiss, flash, and a great
crash of thunder split the armament
apart and shook the house to its foun-
dations. They could hear the rain
dashing in sheets against the windows.
I That's a storm for sure. Listen to
the wind! Drysdale got in just In
time. But l never saw him like that
before. Something extraordinary must
have happened to him. He's been Out
of humor for a day or two. 1 wonder
now, If he was caught in that steel
crash? By Jove, 1 did hear him say
that he'd bought a block of stock Oh
margin.'
A CLEAN of triumph Undesirable
flashed into Tremaine's eyes.
That may explain it," he said, with
studied carelessness.
"Yes-but it doesn't excuse it. II Q

Graham staggered rather than walked

with rain, his eyes staring. his face

He opened his mouth. but only Il low

As they passed through the boat
house again they perceived young
"Willum" busily engaged in making
up his bed on a cot in one corner.
Delroy nodded to him and passed on
without speaking.
Its too nice night to spend in the
house, said Drysdale, little abruptly,
as they mounted the steps to the door.
Il believe I'll go for u tramp. I'll take
my raincoat, though. Then l needn't
hurry back"
Delroy shrugged his shoulders as
Drysdale entered the outer hail with
them and took down his raincoat from
the rack. Thomas, who was stationed
in the vestibule helped him on with it.
"Goodby," he called from the door.
Don't look for me for an hour or two"
''All right, we won't worry" answer
ed Delroy. Though, for my part, he
added, as he and Tremaine went on
through the hall together, i prefer

the air that strikes through one after
awhile, and Jack II soon get enough of

cuse me?'
Certainly; and stay as long as you
like. I'm going to my room presently
myself. | have some letters to write"
Delroy nodded and went Oh up the
stairs. Tremaine sank into one of the
chairs before the fire and watched the

alert.
For an hour or more Delroy sat
alone before the fire reading. At last
he yawned, laid down his book. arose
| and walked to the door. The wind was
| rising; he could hear il roaring i'll the
| trees, and every minute a broad fash
of lightning illumined the clouds ON

There's 4 storm coming" he said
| to Thomas. who was nOdding at his
post. Il wonder where the devil Drys-
dale went. He'd better be getting in
pretty soon"
AS though in answer to the thought,
a dark figure appeared suddenly on
the walk. strobe up the steps and open
ed the door 1t was Drysdale.
He took off his coat. threw it to
| Thomas and went on into the innel
hall. where he stood rubbing his hands
before the fire. with Il face so hope

fairly startled.

said. Then he went to DeySdale and

desperation, went down TO the Record
office and asked for Godfrey. He felt
that he was being swept into waters
beyond his depth. that he needed Il
strong, cool hand TO pluck him back
TO safety, but he found that Godfrey
was out of town.
Delroy and Tremaine went ut once
TO the Wall street office where the con
ference concerning the railroad was to
take place. Memories Of that confer
ence still survive in the street: wild
legends concerning it-how Il company

and one which has never been ap

maintained Il careful silence, andSAIrs.
Delroy was so obviously depressed that
her husband was alarmed
AS soon as the meal was over she
and her sister disappeared upstairs,
while the men lighted their cigars and
strolled down to the boathouse to view
the preparations made by the Grahams
for the protection of the necklace The
night was very close, with a promise of
rain unmistakable.
They went through the boathouse
without finding any one, but out on the
pier beyond old Graham was sitting,
gazing across the water and smoking
an odoriferous pipe Between his
knees he held a Winchester repeater
and revolver butt stuck from case
at his side.
Delroy laughed quietly as he looked
at him.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS
Less Than OHe-third of Crop
Planted in Arkansas and
Other States

Little Rock, May 1.-THE out
look for d cotton crop in Arkan-
sas is more gloomy than at any
time in the memory of planters
and cotton men of the state. 1t
was stated yesterday that fully
two-t thirds of the cotton acreage in
Arkansas IS yet implanted; that
the acreage probably will be de-
creased ten per cent and that
nothing short of late fall and ex-
cellent growing weather from now
on can save the situation and pro-
duce anything near an average
crop of the South's great staple.
James I. Ellis. state business
manager Of the Farmers Union,
said Yesterday he was certain the
gloomy prospects had no parallel
in twenty years, He said it is
doubtful if unfavora ble growing
conditions has ever extended over
such Il great portion of the cotton
belt. Mr.. Ellis has made numer-
Gus inquiries and has found the
gloomy outlook is general, not
only in Arkansas but Throughout
the entire South.

Hountain Home, May IL
esterday evening about o'clock,
while out squirrel hunting, Ed
Baker was seriously, if not
fatally, wounded by his brother,
j. Will Baker. They were rid
ing horses and had stopped at a
branch to allow their horses to
drink. Ed Baker started first and
crossed the creek when WHIPS

jumped, and in some manner
caused the gun, which was lying
across the saddle, to discharge,
the contents of which Ed received
just above the right hip.
He was removed to the home of

resting as easy as could be expect
ed, but the physicians have given
