TELEeRAms AS MIGHT LETTERS
Western Union Plans inexpensive
Nioht Service.

New York, Feb. 19.-Several new
features for the convenience Of the
public are to be introduced by the
Western Union Telegraph Company as
the result Of its alliance with the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company. The first of these is a new
service called the might letter.
whereby fifty words can BE sent by
telegraph at night for delivery early
the following day at the same price as
the customary word day message.
The next step will be to utilize the
telephone as a collector of telegraph
messages, SO that there will be no me-
cessity Of goign in person with the
written message to offices and paying
the charges over the counter. It is
planned that any telephone subscriber
can call up Western Union office.
dictate his message and have 1t sent.
The charges therefor will be rendered
at the end Of the month with the regu-
lar telephone bill.
This system will lbe tried first in Chi
cago, where the arrangements already
have been made for the experiment.
If successful there. it will be estab-
lished in other cities.
The company's official announcement
concerning the might letter" service
is as follows:

PRICE OF FLOUR HleAER9
Miliers Believe Some One Has Corner
on Short Wheat Supply.

Miliers Believe Some One Has Corner
on Short Wheat Supply.
Des Moines, Feb. l9.--In view of the
unfavorable wheat reports of the past
| week the economical housewife will do
well to lay in supply of flour. Owing
to an appreciate decrease in the visi-
BILE supply Of wheat in the country the
millers are predicting an increase in
the price of flour. They believe that
the advance in the cost of the wheat
product will come soon and unex-
pectedly.
The decrease in the wheat supply
came as a great surprise, as an in
crease had been expected, according to
local commission men. There has been
a better milling demand for cash wheat
in the northwest and southwest. Ac-
cording to reports from Minneapolis,
10000 barrels of flour We're sold in
that city on Wednesday. Dealers es-
innate that the flour sold at Mime
apolis last month exceeds that OF the
same month last year by 100000 bar
rels Furthermore, the visible wheat
is Is, 100000 bushels less than last year.
Millers believe that all the cash
wheat in Chicago is owned by one man
and that May wheat will be s1.25 per
bushel.

was in the house for q week.
Much OF that time spent In compos-
ing and destroying letters Of thanks
to Miss West, and In growing at the
doctor. Mcknight dropped in daily,
but he was less cheerful than usual.
Now and then caught him cycling me
as II he had something to say, but
whatever It was he kept it to himself.
Once during the week he went to
Baltimore and saw the woman in the
hospital there. From the description
I had little difficulty in recognizing
the young woman who had been with
the murdered man in Pittsburg. But
she was still unconscious. An elderly
aunt had appeared, a gaunt person in
black, who sat around like a buzzard
on fence. according to Mcknight,
and wept, in mixed figure, into q
damp handkerchief.
On the last day of my Imprisonment
he stopped in to thrash out case
that was coming up In court the next
day, and to play a game of double soil
taire with me.
WHO won the ball gamer I asked.
1--WE were licked Ask me some
thing pleasant Oh. by the way, Bron-
sons out today"
I'm glad I'm not on his bond"
said pessimistically. He'll clear out"
HNot he." Mcknight pounced on my
ace Hes no fool. Don't you suppose
he knows you took those notes to
Pittsburs? The papers were full OF
It. And he knows you escaped with
your life and a broken arm from the
wreck. What do we do next? The
commonwealth continues the case.
A deaf man on a dark night would
know those notes were missing"
Don't play SO fast" demonstrated.
II have only one arm to your two.
Who is trailing Bronson? Did you
try to get Johnson?"
II asked for him, but he had some
work on hand.
1.-THE murders evidently dead is
sue" l reflected. mo, I'm not jok-
ing. The wreck destroyed all the evil
dence. But I'm firmly convinced those
notes will be offered, either to us or
to Bronson very soon. Johnson's
BLACKBOARD, but he's good detective.
He could make his fortune as game
dog. What's he doing?'
Mcknight put down his cards, and
rising. went to the window. AS he
held the curtain back his customary
grin looked little forced.
TO tell you the truth. Lollie," he
said, .'for the last two days he has
been watching a well-known Washing
ing attorney named Lawrence Blake
ley. He's across the street now"
It took moment for me to grasp
what he meant.
why, it's ridiculous asserted.
What would they trail me for? Go
over and tell Johnson to get out of
there, or I'll pot at him with my re-
yolver."
"You can tell him that yourself"
Mcknight paused and bent forward.
Hello, here's visitor; little man

II won't see him. I said firmly.
