Billings Makes Further Trouble.
On the day succeeding that on which
Beckwith and Trafford visited Calden
Grimbleshaw was again at the lawyers
office. and felt a trifie annoyed to find
that what Beckwith wanted was to go
again over the story of the finding of
Altenburg's body. with all its attending
circumstances. 1t seemed to him that
this was already worn threadbare, and
that if anything was to be done to ac-
complish the main object now In view.
that of relieving Judith of the weight of
anxiety under which she rested. some
thing more than study of ancient his
tory was required. He did not hesitate
to say so when the interview was over,
and he did not like the way In which
Beckwith treated the suggestion. In fact,
he did not seem to regard 1t as a sug-
gestion at all. and Grimbleshaw left
under the feeling that he had counsel
who could be exceedingly irritating when
it suited him not to be exceedingly
pleasant.
Grimbleshaw had not seen Judith since
the arrest of her father. He knew that
If he was to have made any explanation
10 her the time to have made 1t was inn
mediately, and that inasmucll as he had
let that time pass. he must either de-
pend on a chance meeting with her. or
wait until facts developed which would
show in its true light the part he had
played in that affair None the less, when
he left Beckwith, his impulse to go
direct to her and seek opportunity for an
explanation. 1t was a matter of COM
parative Indifference to him If others
blamed him SO long as she knew the
truth. and, conversely, the approval of
others counted for nothing so long as he
was in doubt as to the state of her feel
ingS.
When he finally admitted to himself
that it wasn't quite the thing for him to
hunt Judith up to tell her that her
brother was blthering idiot. he reached
the conclusion that after all life hadn't
just then anything else that was quite
worth the doing. and so he decided to
take to the woods. He turned into the
road leading up the long hill and over
looking the river over which he had
driven with Mrs. Calden on the night of
his visit to the camp. Thus, almost with

Brown Park school in South Omaha had
a holiday Friday.
But it was not by orders of the school
authorities. Miss Margaret Hayes, prin-
cipal, on the other hand, was insistent
against the holiday. 1t was taken entirely
upon the initiative of the children.
1t was this way: You see, half a dozen
OF the children attending this school ac-
eldentally run onto the rendezvous of the
men suspected OF the train robbery Thurs
day, dug up their accoutrements of war
and led to the arrest OF three men.
Could these children lapse back from the

OF lessons?
Huh!

Dimensions.

NEW YORK, May S-R. C. Dun Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Progress, slow but constant, Is again the
record of the week. The growth of bust
ness confidence is indeed more notable in
the increase in the volume of trade. but
the revival in iron and steel is OF such
remarkable dimensions as to justify the
most hopeful outlook for the entire in
dustrtal and mercantile situation as soon
as the tariff agitation Is out OF the way.
The period of crop uncertainty is, however,
before us, but IL Is significant that not
w~ithstanding the lateness OF the spring the
weather conditions for the crops are re-
ported favorable.
In the dry goods market a better tone
is manifested. Western jobbers report a
better business for fall merchandise from
statesmen on the road.
House business Is e~easonably quiet.
There r. an entire absence of export de-
mand at existing quotations, Prints are
not moving as actively as had been hoped
for. Bleached goods are being taken with
moderate freedom, While gtnghams are
firm, with prices unchanged. In wooler
goods duplicate orders are coming In slowly

Duties on Cereals.
The agricultural schedule being taken up
by Mr.. McCumber spoke on the duties OF
the bill relating to cereals. Mr.. McCum-
Der declared that in a short time a duty
OF Is cents a bushel on wheat would be
inadequate to keep out foreign wheat. In
Canada, he said, east of a line extended
north from the boundary Of Dakota. there
was more wheat land than in the United
States. With the increasing population Of
the United States and the resulting in
crease In the price of wheat, he said, i'm
portations would be sure. to follow II the
duty should be left az Is cents a bushel.
BY 1920 he was sure no more wheat could
be exported and the country would be face
TO face with conditions that would cause
importations. Wehat at from 81 20 $3.50 a
bushel, he looked upon as a regular con-
dition in the next few years and these
same conditions, he said, applied to all
Of the cereals except corn.
