CHAPTER VII.-continued.

At the side of the girl, Orme now
walked slowly through the deserted
streets. 1t was some time before she
spoke.
After you left me at the home of
my friends" she began at last.
Don't try to tell about it," he in
terrupted quickly. You are tired.
Wait for another time"
They were passing under a street
lamp at the moment, and she glanced
up at him with a grateful smile,
pleased apparently by his thought of
her.
THAT is good of you," she exclaim-
ed, "but my story is easily told. Let
me go on with it. 1 explained myself
to my friends as best could and went
to my room. Then it suddenly &C.
Cured to me that Maku and his friend
might have come to Evanston by
boat"
Just as, later, 1t occurred to me-"
81 thought that the other man
might be waiting for Maku. The mo-
tor car that we heard-there was no
good reason for thinking that our man
was in it."
She paused.
81 know" he said. 81 thought of
those things, too"
1T flashed on me-" she went on,
that if l could find the man, might
be able to buy him off. I didn't be-
lieve that he would dare to injure
me. There are reasons why he should
not My car had been taken in, but
1 had shem bring it out, and l told
them-well, that part doesn't matter.
Enough that 1 made an excuse, and
went out with the car"
You should have taken some one
with you"
There was a likelihood that the
japanese would run if 1 had a COM
panion. AS long as l was alone he
might be willing to parley, 1 thought.
At least, he would not be afraid OF
me alone So went north on Sheri-
dan road to the upper end of the low
er campus. There is a cross-road
there, you remember, cutting through
to the lake, and l turned in. l left
the car near house that is there, and
walked on to the edge Of the bluff.
"Moored to a breakwater below was
a boat, and a man was standing near
her. 1 called out to him, asking what
time it was. He answered, Don
know and / knew him at once to be
foreign and, probably, Japanese. So
/ went down toward him.
when he saw that 1 was coming,
he got into the boat He seemed to
be frightened and hurried, and l in
ferred that he was about to cast of,
and l called out that was alone. At
that he waited, but he did not get out
of the boat, and was standing at
the edge Of the breakwater. just
above him, before he actually seemed
to recognize me-"
Did you know him?" asked Orme.
ST never saw him before to my
knowledge; but he made an exclama-
ton which indicated that he knew
me"
What did he do them"
II told him that l wished to talk to
him about the papers. His answer
was that, II l would step down into
the boat, he would talk. He said that
he would not leave the boat, and
added that he was unwilling to dis
cuss the matter aloud. And I was
foolish enough to believe his excuses.
II he wished to whisper, said to my

event his opportunity to follow Maku
would thus be lost-and to follow
Maku was still his best course. Ac-
cordingly he watched the Japanese
go back to a Clark street car and
climb aboard.
It was an open car, with transverse
seats, and Maku had chosen position
about two-thirds of the way back.
There was, as yet, only one other pas
senger. How to get aboard without
being seen by Maku was a hard prob
lem for Orme, but he solved 1t by
taking a chance. Walking rapidly to-
ward the next corner, away from the
car, he got out of the direct rays OF
the street lamp and waited.
Presently the car started It al
most reached Ormes corner when he
signaled it and, hurrying into the
street, swung on to the back platform.
There had been barely time for the
car to slow down little. Maku could
not we'll have seen him without turn
ing his head, and Orme had watched
the little Japanese closely enough to
know that he had continued to stare
straight before him.
Safe on the black platform, desire
to smoke came to Orme. He found
cigar in his case and lighted it. While
he was shielding the match, he looked
over his followed hand and saw Maku
produce cigarette and light it. The
Japanese had apparently wished the
consolation of tobacco just as Orme
had.
'An odd coincidence" muttered
Orme. 81 hope it wasn't mind-read-
ing" And he smiled as he drew a
mouthful of smoke.
Lincoln park slid by them on the
left. The car was getting well down
into the city. Suddenly Maku worked
along to the end of his seat and got
down on the running-board. The con
ductor pulled the bell. The car stopped
and the Oriental jumped off.
The action had been so quick that
Orme, taken off his guard, had not
had time to get off first. He, there
fore, remained on the car, which be-
gan to move forward again. Looking
after Maku, he saw that the Japanese,
glancing neither to right nor to left
was making off down the side street.
going west; so he in turn stepped tc
the street, just as Maku disappeared
beyond the corner. He hurried quick
ly to the side street and saw Makut
half block ahead, walking with
short, rapid steps. How had Makv
got so far? He must have run willis
Or1ne was retracing the way to the
corner. And yet Aaku seemed to
have no suspicion thu. he was being
followed
The chase led quickly to a district
of poor houses and shops-an ill-look
ing, ill-smelling district, where every
shadow seemed ominous. Whenever
thew approached corner, Orme hur
ried forward, running on his toes, ia
shorten the distance in the event that
Maku turned, but the course contin
ued straight until Orme began to won
der whether they were not getting
near to the river, one branch of which
he knew ran north through the city.
At last Maku turned into an alley
which cut through the middle Of q
block. This was something which
Orme had not expected. He ran for
ward and peered down the dark, I'M
pleasant passage. There was his man
barely visible, picking careful way
through the ash heaps and avoiding
the pestilential garbage cans.

CORPORATIONS
NEVER DIE IN
OLD OREGON

Because there Is no law on the
statute books Of the state limiting
the time in which dead corporation
can be reinstated there are thousands
of names on the corporation books IN
the Office of the secretary OF state
which can not be used by new cor
porations and as many Of them are
OF a character which makes them OF
common use, Corporation Clerk Bah
cock IS experiencing much trouble
because Of conflict in the names of
the new corporations with those of
the dead ones.
The law proYldes that when cor
poration fails to pay its annual IL
cense fee for a period Of two years
that 1t shall be dissolved by the gov
ernor and many are dissolved each
year After it is dissolved, however,
its name stays on the corporation
books as the law says that by paying
the back license fees 1t may be rein
stated and as there is no limit to
the time in which 1t may be reinstat-
ed, the name must remain indefinite
ly. The law further provides that
new corporation can not use name
which has already been used by
corporation and hence the daily con-
fict when new articles are received.
IncOrpOrntOrs Dead.
As IN illustration Of the effect of
the present law may be cited the case
where the Farmers Mercantile COM
pany of Haynes. applied to the sec
rotary of state to file its articles of
incorporation. Upon looking up the
records It was found that years and
years ago a corporation at Monmouth
had filed articles under the same
name While 1t had been dissolved
and the incorporators are all dead
and there is no chance of it being
reinstated because of that fact, in
contemplation of the law 1t still lives
and Corporation Clerk Babcock has
written the secretary for the new
corporation at Haynes saying that be-
fore he can file its articles of incor-
pOration 1t must change its name as
it is in conflict with the dead corpor-
alton at Monmouth.

prepared medicines, does not resi- to

medicines carefully compounded of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-

three decades Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound has been a standard

for children and for grown persons,
and it retains today its pre-eminence
