But before an answer could be
shouted back, this man was drawn
hercely inside, and the scramble was
renewed, amid which George heard
Sweetwater's whisper at his ear:

I'VE want the speaker. If the boys
get him, we're all right; but If they
don't-wait, l must make the matter
sure"
And with a bound he vaulted
through the window, whistling in a
peculiar way. George. thus left quite
alone, had the pleasure of seeing his
sole protector mix with the boys, as
he called them. and ultimately crowd
in with them through the door which
had finally been opened for their ad-
mittance. Then came a wait, and then

CHAPTER K.
A plfference Of Opinion.

At an early hour the next morning,
Sweetwater stood before the coroner's
desk, urging a plea he feared to hear
refused. He wished to be present at
the interview soon to be held with Mr..
Brotherson, and he had no good rea-
son to advance why such a privilege
should be allotted him.
The coroner, who had had some
little experience with this man. sur
veyed him with a smile less forbid
ding than the poor fellow expected.
"You seem to lay great store by IT,"
said he; "if you want to sort those
papers over there. you may"
Thank you. don't understand the
job, but promise you not to increase
the confusion. II l do; If rattle the

soto voce, but the coroner heard him,
and followed his ungainly figure with

side OF the room

NO EVIDENCE OF STATEMENT
Foreman Of Jury Had Claimed They
Had One Mind, but Losing Lawyer
Wanted to Be Shown.

Counsel for the prisoner looked
hopefully at the faces OF the jurors as
they filed into their seats, and listened
hopefully as the foreman announced
that they had agreed. His client had
enjoyed ample provocation for the as
sault upon the person of Tobias Jones;
but the jurors were uniformly Tobias
friends and not unbiased.

honor" the foreman said. I'VE find

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached to
the condition OF the grain crops In
Western Canada. especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested In lands
in that country. This interest Is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing OF grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop THE year In
the provinces OF Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that OF last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th OF June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions In recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation OF bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th The
oat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short in straw"
This is followed by a report July
9Th: Crop conditions continue In
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada in 1913

FOUND a WAY
To Be Clear Of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit. and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi'
ton that he was compelled to give UP
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him l felt sure HE sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis.
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle, because OF the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try IL
and then it was easy to leave on
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, as a re-
suit of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then began to drink it too.

CHAPTER TX.
The incident of the Partly Lifted
Shade

Shade.
The two took a car which eventual
ly brought them into one of the oldest
quarters Of the Borough of Brooklyn.
The sleet which had stung their
faces in the streets of New York had
been left behind them somewhere on
the bridge, but the chill was not gone
from the air, and George felt greatly
relieved when Sweetwater paused in
the middle Of long block before a
lofty tenement house Of mean appear

to stop, and that from now on, mum
was TO be their watch~ord.
What kind OF haunts were these for

evenings at the Clermont? A tene.

Sweetwater seemed to decide for

stepped down the hall into the court

walls above him Another tenement

but he paid no attention to that. He
was satisfied with the look he had
given and came quickly back, joining

appeared to be one OF caution. but
when the two came together at the
top OF the staircase, Sweetwater
spoke quite naturally as he pointed
out door in their rear:
That's the room. Wen keep a
sharp watch and when any man. no
matter what his dress or appearance.

George felt non-plussed

Obi"
"And-but ! will explain later"
The suppressed excitement con
tanned in these words made George
stare. Indeed, he had been wonder
ing for some time at the manner of
the detective, which showed a curious
mixture of several opposing emo
tions. Now, the fellow was actually
in a tremble of hope or impatience-
and, not content with listening, he
peered every few minutes down the
well of the staircase, and when he
was not doing that, tramped from end
to end of the narrow passageway sep
arating the head of the stairs from the
door he had pointed out, like one to
whom minutes were hours. But when,
after some half hour OF this tedium
and suspense, there rose from below
the faint clatter of ascending foot
steps, he remembered his meek com
panion and reckoning him to one side,
began a studied conversation with
him, showing him a notebook in which
he had written such phrases as these:
Don't look up till he is fairly in
range with the light
There's nothing to fear; he doesn't
know either of us.
If it is a face you have seen before
If it is the one we are expecting to
see, pull your necktie straight. It's a
little on one side.
The man they were waiting for was
no further up than the second floor,
but instinctively Georges hand had
flown to his necktie, and he was only
stopped from its premature rear
rangement by a warning look from
Sweetwater.
Not unless you know him." whis-
pered the detective.
Suddenly the steps below paused,
and George heard Sweetwater draw in
his breath in irrepressible dismay.
But they were Immediately resumed,
and presently the head and shoulders
of a workingman of uncommon pro.
portions appeared in sight on the
stairway.
George cast him keen look, and
his hand rose doubtfully to his neck
and then fell back again. The ap-
preaching man was tall, very well-pro-
portioned and easy of carriage; but
the face-such of it as could be seen
between his cap and the high collar he
had pulled up about his ears, con
veyed no exact impression to George s
mind, and he did not dare TO give the
signal Sweetwater expected from him.
You're not sure?" he now heard,
oddly interpolated in the stream of
half-whispered talk with which the

uation.
George shook his head He could
not rid himself of the old impression
he had formed of the man in the
snow.
'Mr. Dunn, word with you" sud
denly spoke up Sweetwater, to the
man who had just passed them.
That's your name, isn't lt?"
Yes, that is my name" was the
quiet response, in a voice which was

There was no hesitancy now. Ris-

speakers eye took on look as ques-
tioning as that of his interlocutor-
but in way so devoid OF all public
ity that i cannot but feel surprised
that the fact should be known"
AT this, the listening Sweetwater
hoped that Dr. Heath would ignore
the suggestion thus conveyed and de-
cline the explanation it apparently de-
manded. But the impression made
by the gentleman's good looks had
been too strong for this coroner's
proverbial caution, and. handing over
the slip of a note which had been
found among Miss Challoner's effects
by her father, he quietly asked:
do you recognize the signature?"
Yes, it is mine"

the fire of some strong feeling disturb
for a moment his dignified reserve,
