helping TO standardize commercial or.

to the efficiency already realized in
many communities of the nation. It's
growing strength means that the bus
mess forces of the nation will be
able to make their opinions known
and felt, just as has been the case
for a long time with agriculture and
with labor through national organiza-
ton.
The strength achieved in one year
is only the beginning of a record that
is bound to be still greater for each
additional locality or organization
represented in it's membership brings
the day nearer when, by means OF
it's referendum vote on public ques-

The East and the West.
1t was with surprise to the writer
that a multi.millionaire member OF
the party from one of the biggest fin
ancial institutions of an eastern city
said, THE n great trouble In this
country is the fact that the people CT
the east do not know what this u
try affords, and they know all too lit
tie of the west and of their country
in general; and further. the people
of the west have not pushed forward
to the notice Of the people in the east
what they have" There Is a great
deal of truth in this statement and
it should carry a great deal of weight
with it in the minds of the western
people. 1t should be a tip to them
to "get busy and advertise,sh Anoth
err said, when asked WkaS 6ss thought
of the possibilities Of tie West, "Had
landed on the Pacific coast
instead of the Atlantic coast, the east
would not have been discovered yet"
meaning that the west is, SO far ahead
of the east in natural resources and
advantages that development would
have been SO great that the east
would not be considered. T.,

Too much credit cannot be given
the men of this organization for the
interest and unselfish maner in which

1t means a bringing together OF the
east and the west. Already it has
become so powerful by reason of the
great heads connected with it, that
the president, congress, the cabinet
and leading men OF the nation listen
to its suggestions for the public good
ad are enthusiastic in the movement
for the general benefit to be obtain
ed By tteshpAiQnJ In its councils are
the greatest minds of the nation and
is distinctly understood that any
a pecuniary motive cops out, off
comes that party's head. %Selishness
is positively eradicated, and every
member of the organization is of nee
essity compelled to be honest with
himself and the organization. These
men are sc big, so &broada and their
regulations are so great that they
lose sight of all personal matters and
deal directly with the root of the SUBJ
ject. 1t certainly is the greatest
movement i'm commercial circles in
the history of the nation.

In years past two such organiza-
tions have been attempted and have
failed, the cause OF failure assigned
being that they were too much east

Purpose Of the Trip. Il i III
The determination Of the officers
and directors of the Chamber OF Con-
merce of the United S ates to take
this journey arose from a realization
that the business forces of the Paci.
fics coast must be brought into &C ual
touch with all that has been accom-
plished by this organization since
its founding, April IL, 1912. The rap
idity wi h which organizations east Of
the Mississippi have added Their sup
port to the Chamber evidences that
the business forces of the nation have
come to recognize the Importance OF
bringing to a focus the sentiment
that has been expressed in local com
mercial organizations, and then hav-
ing it brought to bear upon national
problems of legislation, of govern
mental Improvement and of higher
standards of local work. Consequent
ly the journey Of the officers and d.
rectors nay be regarded not only as
one of courtesy to the western states
relative to that to which the eastern
states have so readily responded. but
also as a tour of research relative to
the business impulses and business
needs Of trans-Mississippi territory.

The services which this federation
of commercial bodies renders to ITS
members are just those which have
hitherto been lacking. The Chamber
keeps each. organization In touch

CHAPTER KIN.
The Ride in the Dark.

The Ride in the Dark.
Not since my early bothood has the
terrible fear Of darkneFs come over
me as 1t did that night ut eight as the
three of us set out from Ardway. The
mystery Of the journey, too, added to
Its terrors. had not stem Davis after
his startling announcement of his
nocturnal mission untii he car1e into
the hotel dining-room for supper. All
through the meal he had laughed and
chatted on all sorts Of immaterial sub
jects, Influenced undoubtedly by the
fact that there were several others
seated at the table with us. There
had been no opportunity for private
conversation between US before we
left the hotel together little before
eight for side street where Dodds.
the constable, was waiting for US with
a vehicle.
We had fingered at the table until
all the others had left. Just as we
got up, Davis turned to me and in a
hardly perceptible tone asked:

l FASTENED upstairs to get the
weapon and when returned he was
waiting for me at the door and hurried
me around the corner and into the
blackboard. With Dodds crowded in
between us we drove along the street
leading away from the station and
soon struck what is locally known AZ
the Plank Road. skirting chain Of
hills which the residents dignity BY
the name Of mountains. So precipit-
Gus and rocky are these that little eff
fort had been made to cultivate them
and the habitations are few and far
between. There seemed to be prac-
tically no travel at night. We encoun-
tered only one vehicle Of any sort,
and that was about two miles out from
Ardway. when we heard an automobile
In the distance behind us.
Turn out" whispered Davis to
Dodds. "and stop until 1t has passed

The constable drew In under the
shade Of some trees. It was pitch
dark. the only light coming from an
ancient lantern hung over the DASH
board. As the automobile came near

Yes" he said absent-mindedly.
What's more" cried impatiently.
Il know who had Lock Box No. IL.

that came to that address"
Davis, without answering me,
reached for another cigarette, light
ing 1t from the butt he had been smok-
ing. His nonchalant Indifference
grated on my nerves and lost my
temper
"Confound it, Kent" he said with
considerable asperity, "1 was so busy
thinking out something l really didn't

tell me all about it."
Notified by his apology. I sat down
on the foot Of the bed and told him the
story Of my day. how / had seen q
man going into the Parrish home and
had recognized him later as Hugh
Crandall, or at least as the man who
had registered at the hotel as Cook;
how had been barred from the house;
how l had discovered another yellow
letter suicide in the park; how, when
/ returned to the Parrish home after
Crandall had left. Louise had told me
OF the theft of the scrap of yellow pa
per from her desk; how she had left
me to go off In her automobile after
insisting that drop the investigation;
how / had seen her again, crossing
the ferry with Crandall in the ma
chine; how l had returned to Ard
way and had learned that Lock Iiox II
was held In the name Of Henry NAL
colin Stewart; how the missing post
master himself had been in the habit
Of putting the mail that came to that
address into his own pocket and go
ing on with 1t, and finally, how Miss
Cox and had determined that when
he disappeared he had gone OF on his
bicycle.

am convinced that Crandall Is aware
that he Is being watched. In his des-
