the desperate struggle as he hung

lungs had almost stopped working
when he was jerked so violently back

CROPS
Wheat. Oats and Barley Uni

Manitoba, Saskatchewan

The reports that come to hand from
he wheat fields of the western Cana~>

yields in all parts. Yields are record
ed of wheat going 80 and Az pusnels
In many places, and oats from oo 10
100 bushels per acre. Barley ana haA
are splendid. The thousands or Amer
leans throughout the United States
who have friends In Manitoba, Sas-

to learn of the great success that
has followed their efforts. Many OF
these have not confined themselves TO
the growing of grain, but have also
gone into the cattle industry. On the
luxurious grasses that are SO abun-
dant there, in almost all districts,
make this industry safe and prof1taole.
The land sales reported by the rail-
way companies and by the different
land companies show the great in
crease that will likely take place
during the next year in farming oper'
atoms. What has been said time ana

hat there is no place on the Amerl-

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with a scream from
Dorothy March In the opera box Of Mrs.
Missioner, a wealthy widow. 1t is oc-
casioned when Mrs. Missioner's necklace
breaks. scattering the diamonds all over
the floor. Curtis Griswold and Bruxton
Sands, society men In love with Mrs. Mis-
sioner, gather up the gems. Griswold
steps on what is supposed to be the cele-
brated Maharanee and brushes It. A Hin
doc declares 1t was not the. genuine. An
expert later all the stones
substitutes for the original. Detectives
Donnelly and Carson investigate. They
decide that the theft of the original gems
was accomplished by some one in the
house. Miss Elinor Holcomb. confidential
companion OF Mrs. Missioner. is sus-
pected. One OF the missing diamonds Is
found in her room. Mrs. Missioner, pro-
tests that Elinor Is innocent, but she Is
taken to prison. Meantime, In. an up
town mansion. two Hindoos, who are In
Ame erica to recover the Maharanee, dis
cuss the arrest. Detective Britz takes up
the case. He evidently believes Elmo In
pocent and asks the cooperation OF Or.
Lawrence Fitch. her fiance, in running
down the real criminal. He advises Elinor
not to seek bail. Britt investigates affairs
al the Missioner home. He learns that
Mrs. Missioner had the diamonds In Paris
with her. Paris police inform him that
duplicates of the stones were made there
on the order OF Elinor Holcomb. Britz
interviews Miss March and learns who
of her friends can draw.
