position of all. OF coure it might
have been only her imagination. The
little pinch of fright engendered of the
moving shadow and the eerie hour
passed away. Her eyes grew pensive
again. How still it was! Had Cor
don fallen asleep? He lay so quietly.
Had he grieved himself into slumber
as girl would do? No-men were
not like that.
All! There was the moving shad-
ow again! She caught her breath
quickly. Then her eyes grew wide and
fixed with terror. This time the
shadow did not stink away again. It
came near the window, crouching. Sud-
denly, it stood up straight. Merciful
Father! Why is it that a human be.
ing, creature of reason and judy
ment, prowling about at unnatural
hours, inspires ten-fold more terror to
his kind than does brute in like cir
cumstances of time and place? Louise
tried to scream aloud. Her throat was
parched. A sudden paralysis held her
speechless. 1t was like a nightmare.
She writhed and fought desperately
to shake herself free of this dumb
horror. The cold damp came out on
her forehead. Afterward she remem-
bered that she knew the man and that
it was this knowledge that had caused
her nightmare of horror to be so un-
speakably dreadful. Now she was
conscious only of the awfulness of not
being able to cry out. If she could
only awaken Mary! The man lifted
his arm. He had something in his
hand. Its terrible import broke the
spell of her peechlessness. ~
MARY! Mary!" q g..
She thought she shrieked. In real
fly she gasped out a broken whisper;
but it thrilled so with terror and
pleading that Mary was awakened on
the instant. She sprang out of bed
AS her bare feet touched the floor a
pistol shot rang out close BY She
had been trained to quick action, and
superb health left no room for cob
webs to linger in the brain when she
was suddenly aroused. She had nc

Was that Gordon passing back and
forth in front of the window? Some
thing must be troubling him. Was
it because Jesse Black had escaped
But what glorious vindication of his
belief in the mans guilt had that
afternoon been given! Nothing lacked
there. Why should he be sorry
Sometimes, she thought he might care
that day crossing the river for in
stance; but he was reserved
never said-and it was much, much
better that he did not care, now that
she was going away and would never
come back. There was nothing in all
the world that could make her come
back to this big, bleak, lonesome land
where she belonged to nobody. But
she was sorry for him. He looked sad
and lonely. He didn't belong to any,
body here, either, yet he wasn't going
to run away as she was. Well, but he
was man, and men were different.
And now she noticed that his head
had sunk down onto his arms. How
still he sat! The minutes passed
away. Still he sat motionless, his face
buried.
1t was dark. The yellow CLEAN
streaming out of the window only
served to make the surrounding dark
ness denser. The lamp on the table
cast pale circle Immediately in front
of the Office. There was no other
flicker of light on the street. Into
this circle there moved a shadow. It
retreated - advanced again - glided
back in to obscurity Was it something
alive, or did the moving of the lamp
cause the shadows to thus skip about?
But the lamp had not been moved. It
burned steadily in the same position.
The relaxed form of the unconscious
man was still bent over the table.
Nothing had changed within. Prob
ably some dog locked out for the night
had trotted within the radius of light.
Maybe a cotton-tail had hoped into
the light for second. Louise did not
know whether rabbits ever came into
the town, but it was likely they did.
1t might have been one of the strayed
cattle wandering about in search of
food. That was the most probable sup

MORE WHEAT, FEWER ACRES.

The Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege named August 1 as special day
for the 106 Farmers Institutes in that
state to discuss all subjects pertaining
to the growing of wheat. Not how
many acres of wheat, but how many
bushels per acre, is to be the slogan
for the next two years if the Kansas
State Agricultural College is to have
it's way. And so on Saturday August
1, from to o'clock, every Farmers
Institute in Kansas was asked to hold
a meeting to talk over methods of
getting more wheat from each acre.
Every county institute president was
asked to arrange for meetings at
every village and town in his county
just informal conferences. these con-
ferences to be largely experience"
meetings, getting at the best methods
of the best wheat farmers of Kansas
Here is a line of work that it would
be we'll for the authorities over the
Farmers Institutes Of the Pacific
Northwest to take up. 1t would be a
valuable complement to the work at
tempted by State College demonstra-
ton trains in promoting diversification
of crops and conservation of soil fer
tility. More dollars from less acreage
and labor is the demand of the time.

Spokane to send to Lord Alverstone in
England, who was his colleague on the
International Boundary Commission
for Alaska. All classes were we'll
filled.
The live stock display also excelled,
being larger than at any previous fair
of the society There were especially
fine displays of dairy cattle, sheep and
hogs showing the widespread interest
arising in the Investigation of agri-
culture along practical and profitable
lines. w. o. Miner, of Heppner, Ore
gon, won sweepstakes for best beef
herd with his Shorthorns, while there
were some splendid Herefords and
others. The State College won sweep
stakes for best SOW of any breed-a
Berkshire. The Duroc Jerseys were
more in evidence at this fair.
The poultry display was under the
grandstand and competition was &C
tive and extensive. The machinery
exhibit was varied and full of interest.
Perhaps a greater display was made
than at any of the other fairs of the
season.
