CHAPTER ~.
Numbers Seven and Nine.

Afterward, when tried to recall our
discovery of the body in lower ten, |
found that my most vivid impression
was not that made by the revelation
of the opened curtain. | had an in
Simultaneous picture Of a slender blue
gowned girl who seemed to sense my
words rather than hear them, OF two
small hands that clutched desperately
at the seat beside them. The girl in
the aisle stood, bent toward us, per-
plexity and alarm fighting in her face.
With twitching hands the porter at
tempted to draw the curtains togeth-
er. Then in a paralysis of shock. he
collapsed on the edge of my berth and
sat there swaying. In my excitement
shook him.
For heavens sake, keep your
nerve, man. l said bruskly. You'll
have every woman in the car in hys-
terics. And if you do, you'll wish
you could change places with the man
in there" He rolled his eyes.
A man near, who had been read
ing last nights paper, dropped it
quickly and tiptoed toward US. He
peered between the partly open cur
tains, closed them quietly and went
back, ostentatiously solemn, to his
seat The very crackle with which he
opened his paper added to the burst
ing curiosity of the car. For the pas
sengers knew that something was
amiss. | was conscious of a sudden
tension.
With the curtains closed the por-
ter was more himself; he wiped his
lips with handkerchief and stood
erect.
Its my last trip in this car he re-
marked heavily. There's something
wrong with that berth. Last trip the
woman in 1t took an overdose of some
sleeping stuff. and we found her, jes'
like that, dead! And it ain't more'n
three months now since there was
twins born in that very spot. No sir

Nermont Thrift.

Robert Lincoln O'Brien, editor OF tho
Boston Transcript, is a great admirer
of the thrift of the Vermonters, but
thinks sometimes they carry 1t too
far
O'Brien was up in Vermont last sum-
mer and went to dinner with friend
who had some political aspirations. As
they came In the door he heard tho
lady of the house say to the hired
girl: II see Mr.. Jones has somebody
with him for dinner. Take these two
big potatoes down to the cellar and
bring up three small ones"

the other mans pockets, stared rue
fully at the other mans shoes.
The stage was set. In moment
the curtain was going UP on the first
act Of the play. And for while We
would all say our little speeches and
sing our little songs, and |, the vii
lain, would hold center stage while the
gallery hissed
The porter was standing beside low
er ten. He had reached in and was
knocking valiantly. But his efforts
met with no response. He winked at
me over his shoulder; then he unfast-
ened the curtains and bent forward
Behind him, | saw him stiffen, heard
his muttered exclamation, saw the
blush pallor that spread over his
face and neck AS he retreated a
step the interior of lower ten lay open
| to the day.
The man in it was on his back, the
early morning sun striking full on
his uptuTned face. But the light did
not disturb him a small stain of red
dyed the front of his night clothes
and trailed across the sheet: his half
open eyes were fixed. without seeing,

Pierre, Sept 10.-The first person to
be deported from South Dakota, so far
as can be remembered, is young man
named Lawrence Maryland, who has
been started from Kingsbury county
on his compulsory return to the OLD
country. He appeared in that part OF
the state about eighteen months ago,
and he Is alleged to have been indo-
lent, and he declined to work for a
living. AS he had no visible means
Of support, the national authorities
were notified, and they have compell-
ed the steamship company which
brought Maryland to America to take
him N~ck t. Europe.

Huron, Sept. 10.-Frost over tho

Most of the crops are too far ad-

porter put in, eying the red tie with
appreciation. "Ain't everybody would
have left you anything"
Call the conductor" l said short
ly. Then a possible explanation oc-
Cured to me. "Oh, porter-what's
the number Of this berth?"
Seven, sir. If you CANT wear
those shoes"
"Seven." In my relief almost
shouted it. why, then, it's simple
enough. I'm in the wrong berth,
that's ALL My berth is nine. Only
where the deuce is the man who be-
longs here?"
Likely in nine, sir" The darky
was enjoying himself. you and the
other gentleman just got mixed in the
night. That's all, sir" It was clear
that he thought | had been drinking.
| drew long breath. Of course,
that was the explanation. This was
number seven's berth, that was his
soft hat, this his umbrella his coat,
his bag. My rage turned to irritation
at myself.
The porter went to the next berth
and | could hear his softly insinuat-
ing voice. Time to get up, sir. Are
you awake? Time to get up
There was no response from num-
Der nine. l guessed that he had
opened the curtains and was looking
in. Then he came back.
Number mines empty" he said
Empty! Do you mean my clothes
aren't there?" l demanded MY va
lise? Why don't you answer me?"
'You doan' give me time," he retort
ed. There amt nothin there. But
it's been slept in"
The disappointment was the greater
for my few moments of hope. l sat
up in white fury and put on the
clothes that had been left me. Then,
still raging, l sat on the edge of the
berth and put on the obnoxious tan
shoes The porter, called to his du-
ties, made little excursions back to
me, to offer assistance and to chuckle
at my discontinue. He stood by, out
wardly decorous, but with little irri-
tating grins of amusement around his
mouth, when l finally emerged with
the red tie in my hand.
BET the owner of those clothes did
not become them any more than you
do," he said, as he piled the ubiquitous
whisk broom.
When l get the owner of these
clothes" I retorted grimly, ''he will

The conductor was coming, he as

answering the description OF mine on

| dressing room, washed, choked my
collar, and was back again in less

its occupants, was gradually taking
on a daylight appearance. l hobbled

ably tight, and found myself facing a
young woman in blue with an unfor-
getable face. CThree women already"

Struck by Flying Bat

Salem-While watching a spir-
tied ball game between Canis-
tota and Salem, one Of the big
features Of today's program at the
McCook county fair, Gus Sesbkie, a
jeweler of Montrose, was struck in the
head by a baseball bat, thrown from
the home plate by one of the batters.

TRADE INJURED
BY HIGH PRICES

NEW YORK, April %. - The
storm of liquidation which broke
over the stock market today was
elimination of influences which
heve been gathering for some
time
Tie position in United States
Steel was accepted as typical OF
the whole market Evidence that
liquidation was in progress in this
stock was considered conclusive
The fact that so favorable a de-
veIopment as the increase in the
dividend on that stock should be
taken advantage of to push the
selling demonstrated the over
extended speculation in it.
The weekly reviews Of the iron
trade by the accepted authorities
centered attention on this tend
ency today and made a strong in
huence in the days trading. The
Importance attached TO the iron
trade as a barometer of general
trade conditions made this news
influential in increasing the feel
ing of anxiety over a possible
trade recession.
It is felt that the high prices of
commodities have involved diff
culties in all directions. They
strengthen the contention for in
creases in wages which are being
considered in all departments Of
industry. They have tied up a
large volume of credit for the
purpose of holding commodities
out of the market in the effort to
keep up prices. For these and
kindred reasons, it has been felt
that speculative defation was a
necessary preliminary to the re-
establishment of sound conditions.
Anxiety is felt, nevertheless,
over the conduct of this defiation.
The solieitude expressed today as
to the situation in the cotton mar
ket is an example of this feeling.
The approach of the May settle
ments converging on the weeks
heavy gold exports complicated
the money situation. Loans were
called by the banks, and the re-
sulting Z per cent money rate was
the highest touched since the first
week of January. The stock mar
ket itself showed the relief offered
by the days liquidation in the
stronger tone that developed be-
fore the close. The close itself
was decidedly unsettled.
Bonds were easy; total sales,
par value. S3.3SS.00O
