Walln took the lead in seeing that the day was pro- perly observed. They rustled up an old Russian cannon (probably of the vintage of 1800) and about depleted the stores stock of gunpowder Charg- ing the old cannon with all the powder if would hold.

On the whole the day was ap- propriately observed in this little old town.

whichever way she looked, there was
dazzling iridescence What a won
derful world! What q versatile mis-
tress was nature! Never two days
alike, never two human beings; ami
mate and inanimate, all things were
singular. She paused at the rail and
watched the thread of frothing water
that clutched futilely at the red water
line. Never two living things alike, in
all the millions and millions swarming
the globe. What a marvel! Even
though this man Warrington and Ar
thur looked alike, they were not so.
In heart and mind they we're as diff
ferent as two days.
She began her usual walk, and in
passing the smokeroom door on the
port side she met Warrington COM

He was about to go on, but she looked
straight into his eyes, and he stopped.
She laughed and held out her hand.

They returned to the promenade
deck in silence.
When Warrington found Craig the
man was helplessly intoxicated. He
lay sprawled upon his mattress, and
the kick administered did not stir him.
Warrington looked down at the sodden
wretch moodily.
Craigs intoxication was fortunate
for him, otherwise he would have been
roughly handled; for there was black
murder in the heart of the broken
man standing above him. Warrington
relaxed his clenched hands. This evil
breathing thing at his feet was the
primal cause of 1t all, he and mans
damnable weakness. OF what use his
new-found fortune? Better for him
had he stayed in the jungle. better

Yes. yes impatiently; you are
going to say that it sounds bitter. But
why should another man have a face
like mine, when we have nothing in
common? What right has he to looI

1T Is puzzle" Elsa admitted
This man who looks like me-
have no doubt 1t affects you oddly
probably lives in ease; in fact, a gen
tleman of your own class, whose likes
and dislikes are cut from the same
pattern as your own. Well, that is as
it should be. A woman such as you
are ought to marry an equal, a man
whose mind and manners are fitted
to the high place he holds in your af
lection and in your world. How many
worlds there. are; man-made and
heaven-made, and each as deadly as
the other, as cold and implacable! To
you, who have been kind to me, have
acted like fool. The truth is. I've
been skulking. My vanity was hurt

Thanks. That is it precisely; and

to solve that very thing"
After a pause he asked: Have you
ever read Reade's 'Singleheart and
Doubleface?
yes. But what bearing has it upon
our discussion?"
None that you would understand"

tripped him.

FIGURES ON WHEAT REVISED
Kansas Bankers Now Place This
Years Yield at 1oo,o00,ooo Bushels
Pests Cause Slump.

Confidential reports from country
bankers indicate that the Kansas
wheat crop will not go much above
the 100,000,000 bushel mark this year.
Three weeks ago the state board OF
agriculture put out some figures show
ing that the crop would 90 to 1885,
100000 bushels. But right after those
figures were made the Hessian fly ap-
peared in one section of the wheat
belt, hail and wind storms hit other
sections, and foods wiped out still
other sections. The damage has been
great. Beside, conditions for matur-
ing the crop have not been favorable.
Still the bankers believe that the Kan
sas farmers will receive as much
money for their 100,00O,0OO crop this
year as they did for their 1SO,OOO,OOO
bushel crop last year. They recall the
fact that the European war did not
break out until almost one-half of the
wheat crop last year had passed out
of the farmers hands. And the wheat
that was sold prior to the opening of
the war went for an average OF ABOUT
60 cents per bushel. In some places
it sold as low as 60 cents. Thousands
of farmers had to sell at those low
figures. They were in debt. 1t had
been two or three years since they
had grown a good crop and they had
fallen behind financially. So they had
to sacrifice their wheat at low figure
in order to straighten up their ac-
counts.
Indications are that the farmers
will not suffer from lack of harvest
hands. In fact, men are coming in
in great droves from the East already
So numerous have they become that
warning had to be issued by the labor
bureau for them to stop coming until
the middle of June, as the harvest is
late.
