Mr. Fletcher says he found the.
markets very slow and "draggy."
This was due both to the unsea-.
seasonable weather and to poor, ear
ly season fruit.
1t is expected that all markets will
revive with the advent of the Elber-
tas, and when the fancy box stuff
from Grand valley is on the market.
the demands will be stronger. 1t is
admitted generally, however, that
even the best products will have TO

disposed of handily.

The present cherry market is very

Mr.. Fletcher found considerable
complaint with the Grand valley
pack. Although everyone admits
the superiority of the stock the pack
is very low grade at times. he was
told. Two mission men in Oma-

clared the manager.

Panama Canal Tolls Up to Congress

the executive can change them in twenty-four hours. They should be put on a permanent basis and it must be done by congress-"
 Just at what figure to fix the tolls, Senator Bristow pointed out, is some thing difficult to work out. Many in teresting and important factors enter into the solution. It is expected that the canal will cost $3,000,000 or more year to maintain. This sum ought to be made up by tolls, if feasible, he says.
 ''The problem is to put the tolls at the point where they will bring in the most revenue" said the senator. Ships, for instance, between the east coast of the United States and the west coast of South America naturally will use the canal. But if the tolls are fixed too high vessels starting from or going to points far down on the Pacific coast of South America will go around the Horn in preference to using the canal. If the tolls are sufficiently low most of the business will pass through the canal.
 "The same thing is true as to yes sels between Europe and the west coast of South America. High tolls will drive many of these vessels around the Horn, while low tolls will bring many of them through the canal. On the rate of tolls will depend. too, whether vessels from Japan bound for Europe use the canal or go by way of Suez. Many points have to be con- sidered, therefore. in fixing the tolls"

uI uIASHINGTON.-T the question W of legislation relative to canal tolls and regulations and the govern ment of the canal zone will come be- fore congress at the very outset of the session and that it will be one of the most important matters of the winter in a legislative way was the view expressed by Senator Bristow of Kansas. He is a member of the com mittee on inter-oceanic canals and re- gently returned from visit to the canal zone.
 Senator Bristow summed up his i'm pression of the canal and the work be- ing done on it with one word: Great" /" He comments in the highest terms the efforts of those in charge of the construction of the canal. He expects to see it opened in 1913.
 "The matter of tolls and regulations should be settled this session." said he. Those who are looking forward to the use of the canal want to know what they can expect. The fixing of the tolls is the chief problem. It is the most important question relative to the canal to be worked out. And the tolls should be fixed by legisla tion. If they are left to regulation,

 Will you be seated, Captain; the armchair by the window is the moro comfortable" She turned toward him almost shyly, yet with womanly curl osity which would not bs stilled. Was your call upon Miss Maclaire very in teresting? Did you admire her very much?"
 Keith's eyes lifted to her face, his ears quick to detect the undertone in her voice.
 Interesting? yes, for I was seeking after information, and met with some success. As to the other question, I am not sure whether I admire the lady or not. She is bright, pretty, and companionable, and in spite of her profession, at heart, I believe, q good woman But really, Miss Hope, was too deeply immersed in my purpose to give her personality much oonstd- eration. Among other things We spoke of you"
 "Of me? Why?'

 No; I left you at Fort Larned be- neving you Christie Maclaire-sup- posing 1t your stage name, of course and was confirmed in this belief by finding in the holster of the saddle you had been riding an envelope bear ing that address,

The lady very promptly denied having sent for me, but as l was anxious to interview her myself, we managed to drift into conversation, and I must have passed half hour there. I might have been there still but for an interruption"
 "Oh, indeed," with rising infection.
 He glanced quickly about, reminded of the situation.
 Yes, Hawley came in. and I would him discover you were in Sheridan. Could we not go to your room? have much to tell you"
 Her questioning eyes left his face, and stared down over the rail. A heav- fly built man, with red moustache, leaned against the clerks desk, his face toward them.
 Do you know that man?" she asked quickly. He followed me all the time I was shopping. Fl believe he is the same one who jostled me in the crowd last night
 Keith leaned past her to get bet ter view, but the fellow turned, and slouched away.
 ''I only had glimpse, but have no recollection of ever seeing him before. You heard no name?"
 "'Wild Bill' called him either Scott. or Scotty-if this is the same man."

CHAPTER XxIII.
An Unexpected Meeting.


 Keith paused at the landing 1ooH most tempted to return and forcs Hawley into a confession Of his pur pose. It was easy for him to con, ceive what would be the final result of this interview between the artistic gambler and Miss Maclaire. In spite of the vague suspicion of evil which the plainsman had implanted within the woman's mind, the other possessed the advantage, and would certainly improve it. All conditions were de ,cidedly in his favor. He merely needed to convince the girl that she was actually the party sought, and she would go forward, playing the game he desired, believing herself right, totally unconscious of any fraud The very simplicity of it rem dered the plot the more dangerous, the more difficult to expose. Hawley had surely been favored by fortune in discovering this singer who chanced to resemble Hope go remarkably, and who, at the same time, was in such ignorance as to her own percentage. She would be ready to grasp at . straw, and, once persuaded as to her identity and legal rights, could hence. forth be trusted implicitly as an ally.
 Realizing all this, and comprehend iHg also how easily Hawley would win her confidence and overcome his warning by denouncing him as a fusf tive from justice charged with murder, the temptation to return and fight it out then and there became almost overpowering. He had no fear of Hawley; indeed, physical fear had scarcely . place in his compositioA. but he was not as yet sufh ciently for flied with facts for the seeking of such an encounter. He could merely guess at the truth, unable to produce any proof with which to meet the gamblers certain denial.
 A man came in through the office, and began climbing the stairs. He was almost at the landing before Keith recognized him or the other glanced up.
 'Ah-seen her, I suppose?"
 "Yes," returned Keith, not thinking It worth while to mention the lady's Aenial of having sent for him. T have just come from there"
