The crowd went wild, and 1t was some

went on. Before you condemn Lex

Gas you do?" the other laughed.
Unsuspecting and inoffensive as the

sudden alarm he pulled himself up.

Chicago, March 4.--More than a year
ago, members Of the Commercial AS
ISOLATION Of Chicago began working for
a corn exposition to be held in Chi
cago. AT that time more than $4,000
was pledged for this work. It was de-
cided to wait until the fall Of 1907, at
which time the first great corn expo
sition will open. Last week the mem
bers of the Commercial Association
who have this matter most at heart
met and organized the National Corn
Exposition, electing officers and ap-
pointing committees. 1t was decided to
expend something like 100000 on this
exposition, goodly proportion OF
which win be paid out In prizes. Ac-
cording to present plans the date of the
exposition is from October s to 10.

cured. The building will be deliberately
decorated, but the central idea Of the
great show will be Education.

and 1t is the desire Of the management

the average corn grower to produce
greater yields and better quality than
During the past ten years

still, following the strangers words
caught by his self reliance and i'm
pressed by his personality. Now, as
he ceased to speak, he moved quickly
forward, impelled by nervous curl
osity.
.Wlly should we just hail each other
and pass-like the proverbial ships"
he said impulsively. IF nature was
careless enough to let the reproduction
meet the original she must abide the
consequences"
The other laughed, but his laugh was
short. ooh, don't know. Our roads
lie differently. You would get nothing
out Of me, and r. He stopped and
again laughed shortly. "No," he said.
'.Id be content to pass II I were you.
The unsuccessful man Is seldom a
profitable study. Shall we say good
night?"
He took Chilcote's hand for an In
slant, then, crossing the footpath, he
passed into the roadway toward the
Strand.
1t was done in a moment, but with
his going sense of loss fell upon Chill
cote. He stood for a space, newly con.
scious of unfamiliar faces and unfa-
miliar voices in the stream Of passers-
by. Then, suddenly mastered by an Inn
pulse, he wheeled rapidly and darted
after the tall, lean figure SO ridiculous
~ like his own.
Halfway across Trafalgar square he
overlook the stranger. He had paused
on One Of the small stone islands that
break the current Of traffic and was
waiting for an opportunity to Cross the
street. In the glare Of light from the
lamp above his head Chilcote saw for
the first time that, under a remarkable
neatness Of appearance, his clothes
were well worn-almost shabby. The
discovery struck him with something
stronger than surprise The idea Of
poverty seemed homogeneous in connec-
ton with the reliance. the reserve. the

and touched his arm.

turned quietly. 81 have followed you
to exchange cards. It can't injure
either Of us, and III wish to know

as he drew out his cardcase.
The stranger watched him in silence.
There was the same faint contempt,
but also there was reluctant interest
in his glance as 1t passed from the
fingers fumbling with the case to the
pale face with the square jaw, straight
mouth and leyel eyebrows drawn low
over the gray eyes. When at last the.
card was held out to him he took It
without remark and slipped it into his
pocket.
Cdlcote looked at him eagerly. s.Now

For second the stranger did not re-
spond. Then, almost Unexpectedly, he
smiled.
"After all, II 1t amuses you" he
said; and, searching In his waistcoat

ened," he added. 'sThe name Of fall

other smile, partly amused, partly iron-
ical, he stepped from the little island
and disappeared into the throng Of
traffic.
Chilcote stood for an instant gazing
at the point where he had vanished;
then, turning to the lamp, he lifted ths

err has become familiar with the proper
type OF the ear, bearing properly
shaped kernels, possessing good ger
minating qualities and high vitality
These points will be illustrated at the
great show and the object lessons mere
presented will be of inestimable value
to corn growers everywhere.
1t is the desire of the management
to make the corn exposition as vaNi-
able to corn farmers as the interna-
tional stock exposition is to the STOCK
raisers. The worth Of this latter e1-
position has been fully demonstrated
1t Is even easier for the corn grower
to improve his product than 1t Is 1oi
the stock man. Consequently, the
benefit which will come to corn farm
ers turnout the United States thru the
effort of Chicago's business men can
not be calculated.
The details for awarding premiums
have not yet been worked out, but In
general way are very liberal. Cash
prizes will be offered and these Will
be so distributed that every corn sec
ton of the United States will be re-
warded, provided it participates In TINS
exposition. There will be given state
prizes, probably district prizes, and GER
tainly prizes for the farmer, the farm
ers' wife, the farmers son, the farm
er's daughter, etc. If, for example, Con
necticut grows good corn, prizes vii
be arranged for that section. 1t may
not be possible for Connecticut grow
ers to compete with Illinois or Iowa
in certain respects, but it will be cas-
lily possible to arrange the premium
list so that the New England growers
will receive a just compensation FOL
this effort.
Corn farmers Of the United States
are urged to better this show. They
should select their seed with that In
view, picking out ears that are uni
formly true to type and with high
percentage of termination. Select q
first class piece of land. prepare II
carefully, plant the corn at just the
right time, cultivate 1t thoroughly and
be in position to select show samples
when the time comes.

He paused by force of custom and
stepping forward, had almost touched
the open door when a new impulse
caused him to draw back. vs.
NO. he said hurredly; mo. I'll
walk"
The cabman muttered, lashed his
horse and, with clatter of hoofs and
harness. wheeled away, while Chilcote,
still with uncertain hastiness, crossed
the road in the direction of Whitehall.
About the abbey the fog had par
TALLY lifted, and in the rallied garden
that faces the houses of parliament
the statues were visible In spectral
way. But Chilcote's glance was unsta-
BILE and Indifferent. He skirted the
ratings heedlessly and, crossing the
road with the speed Of long familiar
ity, gained Whitehall on the left hand
side.
There the fog had dropped, and, look
Ing upward toward Trafalgar square,
1t seemed that the chain Of lamps ex-
tended little farther than the Horse
guards and that beyond lay nothing.
Unconscious of this capricious alter
nation between darkness and light,
Chilcote continued his course. To a
close observer the manner Of his going
had both interest and suggestion, for
though he walked on, apparently self
engrossed, yet at every dozen steps he
started at some sound or some touch,
like man whose nervous system Is
painfully overstrung.
Maintaining his haste, he went de-
liberately forward, oblivious of the
fact that at each step the curtain of
darkness about him became closer,
damper, more tangible; that at each
second the passersby jostled each
other with greater frequency. Then,
abruptly, with sudden realization Of
what had happened, he stood quite
still. Without anticipation or. prepa-
ration he had walked full into the
thickness Of the fog-a thickness 80
dense that, as by an enchanter's wand,
the figures Of moment before melted,
the street lamps were sucked up into
the night.
His first feeling was a sense Of panic
at the sudden isolation, his second
thrill of nervous apprehension at the
oblivion that had allowed him to be SO
entrapped. The second feeling out
weighed the first. He moved forward,
then paused again, uncertain Of him.
self. Finally, with the consciousness
that inaction was unbearable, he
moved on once more, his eyes wide
open, one hand thrust out as a protec.
ton and guide.
The fog had closed in behind him al
heavily as in front, shutting of all pos.
sibility Of retreat. All about him IN
the darkness was confusion Of voices
cheerful, dubious. alarmed or angry
Now and then a sleeve brushed his OF
q hand touched him tentatively. II
was q strange moment, moment OF

beat on. There was persistence IN
