Down it, he could hear someone

It was Del Mar and the woman he

pocket a skeleton key and unlocked
it. There was Elaine's hat and dress
lying in a heap on the bed. But she
was not there. He was now thor
oughly alarmed.
She could not have passed him In
the hall. Therefore she must have
gone or been taken out through the
window. That would never have been

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate Of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward Of
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price Of
the land out of this years crop Of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language Of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
Of $762,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1919 ubon tho or1o
made new record for that date. The
increase in c. P. R. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851 200, OR less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources Of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
G. T. R. and the C. N. R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down cargo of
476,315 bushels, new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are ''go-
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
Of the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period And, be it remeE-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow

THIRTY-THIRD EPISODE
THE LURE OF THE MoDIsTE.

Early one morning a very handsome
woman of the adventures type ar
rived with several trunks at the big
summer hotel Just outside the town,
the st. Germain.
Among the many fashionable people
at the watering place, however, she
attracted no great attention, and in the
forenoon she quietly went in her mo-
tor for ride.
1t was Madame Larenz, one of Del
Mars secret agents, who, up to this
time, had been engaged in spying on
wealthy and impressionable American
manufacturers.
Her airing brought her finally to
the bungalow of Del Mar, and there
she was admitted in a manner that
showed that Del Mar trusted her
highly.
Now" he instructed, after a few
minutes chat, Il want you to get ac-
quainted with Miss Dodge. She's quite
human. Pretty gowns appeal tc her.
Get her to the st. Germain. Then
I'll tell you what to do"
A few minutes later the woman left
in her car, SO rapidly driven that no
one would recognize her.
1t was early in the afternoon that
Aunt Josephine was sitting on the
veranda when an automobile drove up
and very stylishly gowned and bon
neted woman stepped out.
Good afternoon" she greeted Aunt
Josephine ingratiatingly, as she ap-
preached the house. Il am Madame
Larenz of New York and Paris. Per-
haps you have heard of my shops on
Fifth avenue and the Rue de la Paix."
Aunt Josephine had heard the name,
though she did not know that this
woman had assumed it without being
In any way connected with the places
she mentioned.
I'm establishing a new sort of sum-
mer service at the better resorts" the
woman explained. you see, my peo-
pie find it annoying to go into the city
for gowns. So am bringing the lat
est Paris models out to them Is Miss
Dodge at homer"
Il think she is playing tennis" re-
turned Aunt Josephine.
"Oh, yes, I see her, thank you," the
woman murmured, moving toward the
tennis court back of the house.
Elaine and l had agreed to play q
couple of games. and were tossing
racks for position.
Very WELL" laughed Elaine, as she
won the toss, take the other court"
1t was a cool day, and / felt in
good spirits. Just to see whether

Our game had scarcely started when
we were interrupted by the approach
Of stunning looking woman.
"Miss Dodge?" she greeted. will
you excuse me a moment?"
Elaine paused in serving the ball
and the woman handed her q card
from her delicate gold mesh bag. It
read simply:

Elaine looked at the card moment
while the woman repeated what she
had already told Aunt Josephine.

Queried Elaine, interested.
