OF excitemert. They searched records
but no loss as heavy as this came to
light. Even the managing director OF
the Bank of Burma came in for his
share of annoyance. He was Obliged
TO send out dozen cables of notifica

Warrington had blocked up the ave.

which such affairs may be spread

to Los Angeles, wherever a newspa.
per was published, the news flew
Within twenty-four hours it would be
difficult to draw against that letter
as 1t would be to transmute baser
metals into gold
AT half past ten Warrington, appar-
emily none the worse for sleepless
night, entered the private office of the
consul general who, gravely and with
studied politeness, handed to him an
unopened cablegram.
Il rather preferred to let you open
1t, Mr.. Warrington" he said
Warrington noted the lack of cor
diality. but with passive regret. The
consul general recovered his per- and
pretended to become absorbed IL the
litter Of papers on his desk. But in
truth he could see nothing save the
young mans face; calm, unmoved, ex.
pressing negligent interest in what
would be the most vital thing in his
existence, next to life A fine speci-

Warrington stood up with sudden
and surprising animation In his face.
Read it," he said.
"If Ellison will make restitution in
person. yes. ANDES"
The consul general jumped to his
feet and held out his hand II am glad,
very glad. Everything will turn out
all right now. If you wish, I'll tell
Miss Chetwood the news"
Il was going to ask you to do that"
responded Warrington. The mention
of Elsa took the brightness out of his
face. Tell her that Parrot & Co. will
always remember her kindness, and
ask her to forgive a lonely chap for
having caused her any embarrassment
through her goodness to him. | have

A handclasp, and he was gone.
81 WISH" thought the consul gen.
eral, 81 could have told him about the
way the scoundrel spoke of Elsa"
And Warrington, as he sought the
cafe veranda, wished he could have
told the basic truth of his fighting
mood; the look Mallow had given Elsa
that day in Penang. Diligently he be-
gan the search. Mallow and Craig
were still in their rooms, doubtless
sleeping off the debauch of the pre-
ceding night. He saw that he must
wait. Luncheon he had in town.
At four o'clock his inquiries led him
into the billiard annex. His throat
frightened little as he discovered the
two men engaged in a game of Ameri-
can billiards. He approached the table
quietly. Their interest in the game
was deep, possibly due to the wager
laid upon the result; so they did not
observe him. He let Mallow finish
his run. Liquor had no effect upon
the mans nerves, evidently, for his
eyes and stroke were excellent. A
miscue brought an oath from his lips,
and he banged his cue upon the floor.
Rotten luck" said Warrington SYM
pathetically, with the DEVILS banter in
his voice.
Mallow spun around. stared for q
moment, then grinned evilly. Here's
our crow at last, Craig"
Speaking of birds of ill-repute, the
crow passes his admiration to the kite
and the vulture." Warrington spoke
coolly.
Mallow looked at Craig, who
scowled back. He was beginning to
grow weary at the sight of Warning
ton, bobbing up here, bobbing up
there, always with subtle menace.
He chalked his cue, got the balls into
corner and finished his string.
"Thatll be five pounds" he said
"And fifty quid for me-" added War
rington, smiling, though his eyes we're
as blue and hard as arctic ice,
I'm see you comfortably broiled
first" replied Mallow, as he tossed five
sovereigns to Craig. Nov, what else
is on your mind?"
Warrington took out the cigar band
and exhibited it. 81 found that in my
room last night. You're one of the
few, Mallow, who smoke them out
here He was a husky Chinese, but
not husky enough Makes you turn
a bit yellow; Ell. Craig, you white-liv-
cred cheat? You almost got my money
belt but almost is never quite. The
letter of credit is being reissued. II

COOPERATION NEEDED.

The hotel proposition is coming
along nicely. The men who are pro-
noting it are working hard and they
have to work hard for the raising of
$150,000 or Whereabouts is no easy
matter. But after all, the things that
are worth while are only gained after
hard work Nevertheless the work OF
the volunteer solicitors can be greatly
facilitated and the project can be
brought to successful conclusion
much sooner, if people who are willing
to invest 800 or more will call at the
Commercial association rooms and SUBJ
scribe for their stock. There are
many men in the city-and women.
too, for that matter-who want some
of the new hotel stock as an invest.
ment but who are delaying. 1t is safe
to assume that if the solicitors have to,
they will finally get to the very last
one of these, but that means long hard
work and much delay.
If the prospective investors will CO.
operate by going to the association
rooms and taking out their stock, 1t
will help matters wonderfully.
Young men with hundred dollars
or more who want to become identi-
fed with city boosting and at the same
time want to safely invest their
money, can do no better than to go to
the association, rooms and subscribe
for the stock they wish to buy. 1t
isn't necessary to walk in and lay
down the money. None will be col
lected till after all or almost all the
stock has been subscribed and even
then it will probably be called in a
third or a fourth at time.
The people of this city who want to
boost Ottumwa and at the same time
make a safe investment, should not
wait to be called on. They should go
to the association rooms at once.

A WORD ABOUT IOWA.

News dispatches of last week told
OF Iowa having been awarded the
grand prize for agricultural exhibits at
the Panama-Paciic exposition now in
progress at San Francisco. In other
words Iowa was branded the leading
agricultural state in the United States.
The state was SO far ahead of all
rivals that there was no question IN the
minds of the judges and the award
was one of the first two that the judges
announced Practically every Iowa
exhibitor won a medal showing the
especial merit of his exhibit as COM
pared with those of exhibitors from
other states. And needless to say
there was plenty of competition so
that there can be no question about
Iowas being the leading agricultural
state.
Because Of this, the following facts
regarding Iowa farms, stock and i'm
plements, is timely:
The farms of Iowa are worth more
than the farms of Maine, New Hamp.
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland, West Virginia, south
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Arizona
Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Montana
and Wyoming combined.
The increase in value of Iowa farm
land in the last ten years is greater
than the increase in value of all the
farm land in Montana, Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona
Utah, Nevada, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Oregon combined.
The farm buildings of Iowa are
worth more than the farm buildings OF
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is
land, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Arkansas
New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Washing
ton, Oregon and West Virginia com
bined.
! more than the farm implements OF

secretary of state. It Is unused to the
type of public man who regards any
international issue as moral issue
upon which he must personally en-
force his convictions to the limit. Ev-
eryone said: "Of course he had a
right to his opinion, but why should
he resign when the cabinet was
against him." And Mr.. Bryan answer
ed by pointing out that he had tried
to set precedent: If the head of a
cabinet could not freely and conscien-
tiously back up a note from the de-
partment with his own clear convic-
lions, he had better get out and argue
the case with the American people on
its merits. So now Mr.. Bryan is taking
up the argument. He will be ready
for decision when the next national
convention of his party has completed
its work.
What will be the response of the
United States to Bryan's appeal that
they urge the Berlin government to
avoid war with this country?
Mr. Bryan has had sufficient re-
Spouse already to make him confident
that they will make big showing.
Somewhere near thousand kilograms
have congratulated him. Leaders are
predicting action by large organiza.
tions. Some, Of them see in his hint
a great opportunity for their societies
to vindicate their neutral stand by a
round-robin letter to Berlin. In this
letter they would urge that Germany
make every effort to calm the lingo
spirit in the empire as regards the
American situation and that it aid
in calming the war party in the Unit
ed States by taking up with England,
through our /tate department, the re-
striction of naval warfare as suggest
ed by the United States.
Reminiscent Of the days Of 1896 is
the attitude of the press of New York
City toward the Nebraskan. Almost
without exception 1t denounces and
ridicules him as dreamer, traitor
to his party or as mountebank.
