The statement showing a decrease
In the exports of food products and
certain other articles during Septem.
Der does not imply that there was a
falling off In other exports. Such was
not the case. The total exports from
the United States for September were
$l53,S90,O00, gain of $14,563, 900 COM
pared with the same month last year.
This means that an exceptionally large
proportion Of exports represented
manufactures, the work Of the best
paid skilled labor. For the nine months
ended with September there was an
increase of s27O,O2O, 900 in imports and
something OF decrease in exports as
compared with the like period the year
before. But the increase in exports
for September shows that the tide Is
turning. And as 1t is there Is an ex.
cess of $92,292.000 in exports over i'm.
ports for the nine months. There are
fluctuations In trade currents, as Is in
eVitable, but the United States still
holds an economic advantage with q
baalnce In its favor.

His Terrible Threat,

Aviation has improved considerably
since the time when Col. Cleary, then
county commissioner and for years
well-known Chicagoan, made balloon
ascension at a county fair over in
Michigan. says the Chicago Journal.
AS the guest of honor the colonel
was sent upward with the assurance
that there was absolutely no danger.
But as the distance from the earth
grew greater the colonel leaned out
anxiously.
Pull me in" he shouted.
The men who were bailing out the
rope paid no heed to his demand.
Higher and higher went the balloon.
Wilder and wilder grew the colonel.
Finally, almost standing on his head
as he tried to keep a precarious bal
ance. he gave final cry of exas-
perated panic:
Pull me in, tell you, or I'll cut
the rope!"

Had the mildness Of the weather In
November anything to do with the
hghtness of the fire loss during that
month In Canada and the United
States? The aggregate for the month
was only $14.SOS, $50, which in round
numbers was 100000 below October,
and which was lower than the fire loss
IN any month last year except Deem
Der, and lower than for any month In
the current year except March and
June. The year 1909 undoubtedly is
going to make creditable record as
to fires. The aggregate fire loss for the
first II months of 1909 has been $685..
67s.7OO. which is $4O,OOO,OOO less than
the loss in the corresponding period
OF 1908 and s16,0OO,OoO less than dur.
ing the first II months Of 1907.

ELIMINATION OF "HELLo."

The matter of greetings at the tele-
phone has figured in various philo-
sophie disquisitions, to say nothing of
casual comment upon thousand lips.
The Hottest fight which this interest.
ing topic ever achieved, we believe,
was In late novel of very high life,
wherein the aristocratic miliionairess
was represented as shuddering to the
very core Of her refined being when
addressed over the telephone by the
vulgar 'Hello!" We presume that the
untaught individual on the other end
should have opened proceedings with
"Greetings!" Happy Days!" May 1t
please your loneliness or some such
piece of elegance. But to the most Of
us "Hello!" has been good enough and
indeed sweet and satisfying word.
Why Is it, then, that the word is SLOW
ly vanishing from the wires? Simply
because in this sordid age-when Sec
onds are esteemed more highly than
healt.. or happiness-the elimination
of "Hello!" makes for speed. AS an
emoLent, lubricant and saponifier
no criticism of the word has been Of
fered. There is something about the
hquidity of its utterance which COM
bines suff1ciency of shout with a
maximum of grace, Such polished
thoughts are Of no avail with the tele-
phone directors, however. Save in rare
circumstances, no "Hello!" is now al.
lowed to cross a centrals lips.

SYNOPSIS.

Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
Holbrook, her niece. were entrusted to
the care of Laurance Donovan, writer
gummering near Port Annandale, Miss
Patricia confided to Donovan that she
feared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
a bank failule, had constantly threatened
her for money from his fathers will, of
which Miss Patricia was guardian: They
came to Port Annandale to escape Henry.
Donovan sympathized with the two
women. He learned Of Miss Helens an
noying sutton Donovan discovered and
Reginald Gillespie, sutton for the hand OF
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie dsap-
peared the following morning. rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her ia
Their meet on friendly terms. Donovan
fought an Italian assassin. He met the
man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge. a canoe-maker.
After short discussion Donovan left
surlily. Gillespie was discovered by Don
ovan presenting country church with
$1,000 Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged
to Donovan that Miss Helen had been
missing for a few hours. While riding
In a launch, the Italian sailor attempted
to modest the trio, but failed. Miss Pat
announced her intention of fighting Henry
Holbrook and not seeking another hiding
place. Donovan met Helen in garden at
night Duplicity of Helen was confessed
by the young lady. She admitted conniving
with her father despite her aunt's
precautions, in night meeting with Don
ovan. The three went for long ride the
following day. That night, disguised as
nun. Helen stole from the house. She met
Reginald Gillespie, who told her his love.
Gillespie was confronted by Donovan.
Helen's lover escaped. At the town post
Office Helen, unseen except by Donovan,
slipped draft into the hand Of the Ital-
ian sailor She also signaled her father.
Miss Pat and Donovan took i'm the
canoe carnival. A young lady resembling
Miss Helen Holbrook was observed alone
In a canoe, when Helen was thought to
lespie.

italian scoundrel with him." asked
after pause.
Hes the skipper of the Stiletto,"
Gillespie replied, readily.
He's long way from tide-water,"
remarked. "A BLACKBOARD of just his
sort once sailed me around the Italian
peninsula in a felucca, and saved me
from drowning on the way. His hero
ism was not, however, wholly disinter-
ested. When we got back to Naples
he robbed me of my watch and money
belt and l profited by the transaction,
having intended to give him double
their value. But there are plenty of
farm boys around the lake who could
handle the Stiletto. Henry didn't need
dago expert"
The mention of the Italian clearly
troubled Gillespie. After moment he
said:
"He may be holding on to Henry in.
stead of Henry's holding on to him. Do
you see?"
'No; l don't"
"Well, have an idea that the dago
knows something that's valuable. Last
summer Henry went cruising in the
Sound with a pretty rotten crowd,
poker being the chief diversion. A
man died on the boat before they got
back to New York. The report was
that he fell down a hatchway when he
was drunk, but there were some ugly
stories In the papers about 1t. That
Italian sailor was one Of the crew"
Where is he now?"
"Over at Battle Orchard He knows
his man and knows he'll be back. I'm
waiting for Henry, too. Helen gave
him $4,000. The way the market is
running he's likely to go broke any
day. He plays stocks like a crazy
man, and after he's busted he'll be
back On our hands"
IT'S hard on Miss Pat"
And it's harder on Helen. She's in
terror all the time for fear her father
will go up against the law and bring
further disgrace on the family. There's
her Uncle Arthur, a wanderer on the
face of the earth for his sins. That
was bad enough without the rest of it."
THAT was greed, too, wasn't it?"
"No, just general cussedness. He
blew in the Holbrook bank and
skipped"
You told me that Henry Holbrook
found his way here ahead of you. How
do you account for that?"
He looked at me quickly, and rose,
again pacing the narrow room.
i don't! | wish I could"
Its about the last place in the
world to attract him. Port Annandale
Is a quiet resort frequented by western
people only. There's neither hunting
nor fishing worth mentioning; and a
man doesn't come from New York to
Indiana to sail boat on thimbleful
OF water like this lake."
You are quite right"
If Helen Holbrook gave him warn.
ing that they were coming here"
Don't you dare say it! She couldn't
have done! She wouldn't have done
II! ltell you | know, independently of
her, that he was here before Father
Stoddard ever suggested this place to
Miss Pat"
Well, you needn't get SO hot about
It."
And you needn't insinuate that she
is not acting honorably In this affair!
Should think that after making love
to her, as you have been doing, and
playing the role of comforter to Miss
Pat, you would have the decency not
to accuse her of connivance with Hen
ry Holbrook."
You let your jealousy get the better
